The Most Complete and Best Equipped Factory, Com bining All Modern Improvements and Facilities With Up to Date Ideas. A representative of The Tribune while in Durham visited the magnificent cigarette and smoking tobacco establish ment, known now as the Duke's Branch of the American Tobacco Company's, which has achieved a 'National reputa tion under the old firm name, which is dear to the heart of every native North Carolinian, "Duke of Durham." The business of manufacturing tobacco and cigarettes was started under this manufactured from the genuine bright leaf tobacco, which is bought from the leading warehouses of the country. This tobacco is received at the factoryin baskets, after which it is hung on trucks until ready for the machines. The leaf tobacco is taken through a drying ma chine, to drying rooms with a tempera ture of loO degrees, from there the leaf is taken to the ordering rooms at a tern" perature of 90 degrees, the moisture is Cotton Receipts at Norfolk.

There Are Objections to Everything New Elevates Professional Standard Takes Money. Speaking to a representative of The Tribune of some of the objections that . m a il are made to tne leacners AssemDiy Bchool bill, now be'ng considered by the legislative Committee on Education, Mr. Charles J. Parker, secretary of the Teachers' Assembly, said: Some will object to it Decause n is something new. To some people a new thtnn- nnroches criminality. Some will object to it because the specified quali- fications or tne District eupennienuems will preclude the possibility of theelec tion of themselves or one of their friends to the office. Many will object to it because it will elevate the professional standard and will relocate to the menial trades and nrrnnntinns those who are incompetent to do creditably the work required of a . 1 A 1 teacher.

Much of theputuicecnooi motej is now bt-ing practically thrown away In one school, to my personal knowl edge, the Committee employed a teacher from the Soldiers' Home. Probably the fact that he "fouirht. bled and died lor j , f his country, and needed the money tor hi familv. secured him the Dlace. A certain County Examiner in North Carolina told" me himself that if a school committee employed an incompetent teacher, he would not refuse the teacher & certificate, because the peonle paid the taxea and were entitled to sav whom they wanted to teach their school. Such an economv as tnis is uisastrous. No manufacturing plant will attemp to run without a superintendent and de nartmental heads. No farm can be sue 11 v manap-ed without "intellieen supervision, and no man of sense would inrpct hi mnnpv fn such enterprises and permit them to be worked by incompe tent laborers. - ijoefiiiiis'ili lis name by Mr. Washington Duke in 1865.

Every effort to ascertain the exact amount has proved fruitless." It is adxitted by one in a position to know that his books were a "little tangled." The shortage is said to have been made good by Mr. Bock's father. Mr. Bock, the cashier, is now at Glenn Springs, S. C, to which place, it is said, he has been ordered by his nlivsician. For several years it has been current talk of the fine style in which Mr. Bock lived. Mr. Isaac S. Cohen, the son- U-law of Mr. Morris Israel, the president and largest stockholder of the bank, has been made cashier in place of Mr, Bock. Mr. Cohen, up to the time of this appoint ment, was president of the State Savings Rant and although onlv about 29 veare of age, has by his energy and personal careful attention to its affairs built the bank up to its present high standard, and his loss will be keenly felt by the bank, and it is quite hard to say whether ikair will find anvone who will so J IT..
