Great Tobacco Manufacturer Passed
Away Monday.
Durham, N. C., .May 8.—Mr. Wash
ington Duke, the pioneer tobacco man
ufacturer of America, who made pos
sible the founding and immense:
growth of the American Tobacco com-1
pany, died at his home here this af
ternoon at 2 o’clock at the advanced |
age of 84 years. Several months ago
Mr. Duke fell and broke his hip and *
he has been confined to his room ever t
since. Several days ago plura-pneu- f
monia set in, and from that time the J
patient steadily declined. All of his i
sons, Messrs. B. L., J. B. and B. N. £
Duke, were with him at the time of J
his death. The funeral will take place
at 11 o’clock Wednesday.
Mr. Washington Duke was born'
December 20, 1820, being one of the 10 '
children of Mr. Taylor Duke a small
fanner of Orange county. He early
cultivated the habit of industry, and
after attaining bis majority, by rent
ing land, he soon made enough of his
own. By the outbreak of the Civil
War he had increased his holdings to
more than 300 acres. At the close of
the great war, during the latter years
of which he served in the artillery
of the Confederate States at Charles
ton and Richmond, he returned to his
plantation, his sole capital besides
the land then being 50 cents and two
blind army mules.
Mr. Duke was, from his early youth, j
a devout Christian and was ever a ;
benevolent man. “Support your
churches and schools,” said he, "not!
because somebody else does it, but
because you know it is right.” With-i
in the last few years Air. Duke has be- j
come known as one of the greatest
philanthropists in the south, this be-1
ing due to his large gifts to Trinity I
college, which have amcninted to about i
$30,000. He also gave largely to
Louisburg Female college and the
Southern Conservatory of Music of
Durham.

Is the one that can rightfully boast of pure
the rich, red wine of life is coursing through the veins it im
parts vigor and strength to the body and healthy action to all
parts of the system. A healthy family is a wealthy family;
it may be poor in worldly goods, but possessed of a priceless
jewel that all the riches of earth cannot buy. A healthy family
may not carry in their veins the blood of titled nobles or dis
tinguished ancestors, but vigorour health is ^always an evidence of the
best and purest blood, for the vital fluid contains all material necessary
for the making of bone and muscle and the growth and development of
the body, and upon its purity rests our chances for good health. When the
body is fed upon weak, sickly blood the system languishes, growth is stunted, disease
enters without hindrance, and the simplest maladies are apt to develop into serious sick
ness. In so many ways does the blood become contaminated that the fewest number succeed
in keeping this life-giving, health-sustaining fluid in a pure and natural state. We inherit
the disease-tainted blood of ancestors, parents transmit to their children such impoverished
and weak blood that their lives are a continuous "battle again' disease, and from earliest
infancy are harassed by sores and the most

(Minneapolis Times.)
South Carolina, with 14,000,0001 f
acres of unoccupied land, has come I
forward with a plan that seems to of
fer much in the way of solving the
immigration problem. The State
needs new white blood to work tho
mines and fields, and while this sit
uation has been made known for many
years in the usual way, it has not
urougnt such results as are desired.
Now the State has opened headquar
ters in New York City, under the
charge of the State commissioner of
immigration, and an effort will be
made to direct newcomers to the op-'
portunities in the South.
It is a fact that a very large pro
portion of the immigrants reaching
New York have no definite idea of
where they can locate to the best ad
vantage, and the result is that most
of them remain in the cities to eke!
out a miserable living. Could they i
but know that broad acres awaited
their willing hands, and that re
wards for labor in that direction
would exceed anything offered by the
birr cities, it is believed that they
would gladly take advantage of tho 1
opportunity.
The South is peculiarly suited by
climate ami resources to the people of
Southern Europe, but they are not
generally informed of this. The con-
sequence is that section has failed to
receive its share of the immigration
while other parts of the country and
tho large cities, are becoming over
crowded.
Yet it cannot be said that there are
i )o many people in this country so
■■ mg as vast tracts of land remain un-!
UHed for lack of workers, and, after
all, it may be that the most serious
problem in connection with immigra-
i ion is that of distribution. If South
Carolina should get enough immi
grants to work her 14,000,000 acres
is obvious that the situation would
i<e much improved at once.
