Now Worth $30,000,000. (New York Commercial.) Under oath with the lawyers on the other side in nagging pursuit, James Buchanan Duke, the intelli gence, eraft and energy of the “to- | hacco trust,” so-called, recently ad mitted that he was worth $30,000,000. The roots of this fortune were two blind mules .and fifty rents in Yankee silver. Also, there was a snarled and barren farm. While he talked recently to James B. Morror on this subject, Mr. Duke moved around in his chair with ener gy. There is a slight drawl in his words— a gift to the South from the Jungles of Africa—but he speaks the animation, and, touching matters of principle, with the decisive tone of conviction. lie is a tall, robust man. with thin, reddish Hair, dark- blue eyes and a smooth, florid face. His clothing was as plain as a farmer’s. A person who is familiar with him says he n»vcr has tasted intoxicating liquor. “My father,” Mr. Duke said, ‘‘was the wisest and best man I ever have known. Until he was forty-five year '' he had lived in the country, out of contact with the world, away from his narrow community, but he went into a business and made a fortune. In his vouth he rented land and with his meagre savings bought a fann. At the onening of tito civil war he owned over three hundred lean acres. At the age of forty he joined the Con federate army. “On the retreat from Richmond he was captured by the enemy, hut. was soon released. He walked home, one hundred and thirty five miles, and sent for me. Brodie L.. my half-broth er; Benjamin Newton, my own broth er, and Mary Elizabeth, my sister. I was nine years old and Mary was twelve. The whole family ^ent to work. Mary was housekeepe.r. We always regarded her as being a mem ber of the firm. She was consulted ! and paid her share of the profit*.- along I with the rest of us. During his long tramp toward home my father traded a Confederate note for fifty cents ! in Yankee silver. He bought two blind mules on credit from my unrle. I With his thin acres, his children, his blind mules and his half-dollar he ' began tlie business of growing to- | baecn on little patches of land near the house. In fact, he couldn’t have | grown anything else. "Johnson’s army and Sherman’s ‘hummers,’ as they were called, had been through that part of North Car olina .and coming upon hidden stores of ‘bright’ tobacco, golden in color, liked it. After the war and the sol diers had gone to their homes, many of them wrote to the postmaster at Durham, and he filled their orders. So it was that our tobacco got a wide reputation. Our crops at first were small. We cured the tobacco in a log cabin barn under which we had a fire to give it the right color. ‘‘Yellow tobacco formerly was pro duced in but three counties of North Carolina. Now it is a good cron in certain parts of South Carolina. It is grown by small farmers, and with the use of fertilizers will pay from l-aO to $00 an acre. All of our ciga rette and much of our smoking to bacco, costing from twenty to twen ty-five millions a year, comes from that region. “I had an opportunity to attend col lege but 1 did not accept it. Instead, at the age of eighteen I asked my fa ther to take me into business as a oartner, and he did so. giving me a sixth of the property and profits. He was then making about 17,000 a year, had givi j; up farming and had started a factorv in Durham. He would have been better pleased, however, if I had gone to school. “Our first factory in Durham was i wooden building, seventy feet long, forty feet wide and three stories high. We employed fifteen hands. Such was the establishment into which I was admitted as a partner, when I was eighteen years old. It wasn’t long before our buildings covered ten acres of ground. “In 1883 our capital was $70,000 and the business was owned by my father, his three sons and a man in Rich mond. ^ a. I came to New York in 1881 to give the manufacture of cig arette my personal attention. I re alized that hand ’abor was too slow and costly and tnat a machine would The Most Popular Chew Made There is real enjoyment in chewing SCHNAPPS tobacco. That’s why it has won millions of chewe.*s every year, until now more is sold than ail similar tobaccos. SCHNAPPS, the most pcovlnr ni od~ uct of the Reynolds factories, ii r ufactured in the very heart of the Pied- mcn : tobacco belt, known to the world . irrcxiucinv : ;bacco with an aroma ;:c cLr-h.r.b ard appetizing that it : b odrcy.d r~d peruiarksed the chew- br; cf tobacco. 1 The Clean, Pure Chew L is manufactured by the cleanest and most healthful processes ever devised, under the direction cf men who have made the chewing tobacco business a life study, and who have managed the R. J. Rey nolds Tobacco Company since 1875. Only choice selections of thoroughly cured leaf are used in SCHNAPPS, and expert tests prove that thir class of tobacco requires and takes a smaller amount of sweetening than any other kind of tobacco grown—and that it has a wholesome, stimulating and satisfying effect on chewers, besides being the most economical. There are a great many imitations claiming to be “ just as good ” as R. J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO SCHNAPPS, but there is only one gen* nine SCHNAPPS. Be sure the letters on the tag, and under the tag, spell S-c-h-n-a-p-p-s. There are rreve pounds of SCHNAPPS chewed every year than the total amount of all similar kinds. Internal revenue statistics shew that SCHNAPPS and others cf the Rey nolds brands won enough chewers in one fiscal year to make a ret gain of six and a quarter million pounds, cr one- third of the entire increased consumption in the United States on chewing and smoking tobacco. SCHNAPPS is made and sold every where in 5c. cuts and 10 and 15c. plugs. CO., Winston-Salem! N. C. them. But they became frightened and sold out. “A case of pure nerve on your part?” “And money. Nerve is all right, hut it is not effective unless fortified with money. Nerve with an empty pocket-book is bluff and bluff is the common refug$» for cowardice and impecuniosity. “When my four partners and I were making $200,000 a year in our bnsl- ness we each drew $100.60 a month and no more. I saw to that. There were complaints and on one occasion a threat. ‘You own but one fifth of the concern,’ my partners said. ‘We shall vote a dividend over your head. We have families and must live.’ Tf you do.’ I replied, ‘I quit.’ The divi dend wasn’t authorized, and the mon- e” which would have been necessary had it been voted was employed to extend our business.” "Can a man earn a fortune?” “Not on a salary, nor by the sweat of his brow. Necessarily one must be economical and selfdenylng until ito has capita 1 with which to begin business. Thousands of men are do ing well, but they spend every cent th'v earn. Having obtained a little capital by industry and frugality, the man who wants a fortune must see some need of the public and then pitch in and supply it, no matter what it costs.” I am a candidate for Treasurer of Cherokee county, subject to the Dem acratic primary.

By Richard Carroll. There is a great demand for South ern orators at the Chautuquas in the North and West. These Chautauqua meetings have increased rapidly in the last four or live years. There are now more than five hundred chauLau- quas in the North and West. Large sums of money are paid out for ora tors and speakers. A few days ago when Rev. Sam Jones lectured here at the Illinois Epworth League Chautauqua at Bloomington. Illinois. Mr. James H. Shaw paid him $200 for the speech which lasted a little over one hour. There are other speakers that get from $50.00 and upwards for lectures. Farmers come to the chautauoua with their families, rent tents and camp on the grounds for ten and fifteen days until the meeting closes. At Bell fountain, Ohio, where I was, there was more than one hundred tents on the ground. The audience numbered as much as 5,000 and 6,000 people. The people of the North and esneelally the West are carried away with Southern oratory, but they have a great desire to hear the orators of the "Old School” of the South of the type of Bishop C. B. Galloway, of Mis sissippi, or what they call the “South- j ern Gentleman.” Few colored men are employed. In fact, none that I know of this summer save myself, in the chautauquas of Illinois. Indiana and Ohio. Booker Washington has given | several lectures further out west. It is a pity that more negroes cannot be aployed on these chautauquas, since there are none. I would be glad if Lie chautauquas would employ more 5 good white men from the South. I send the following clipping, which is an editorial from this morning’s “Daily Pantagraph.” It is remarbable that Southern men who owned slaves or whose ancestors owned slaves and who had much to do with the negroes, ! had “black mammas,” are the last people to denounce the negro or treat j him mean and this class of white citi zens when they come North are not seeking under any circumstances to speak against the negro: Get The Best. "The practice of bringing Southern men North to address summer assem blies is a good one from every vfew of the case. It is an education for both North and South. It brings the people of the two sections closer to gether and puts them on a fairer un derstanding and mutual respect must always follow a closer acoaaintance among honest, well meaning people. “The extent of which the North and South hive been enlightened and en tertained and benefited in this way th- past twenty-five years is very great. Both sides hav« got valuable Information and the North has no re gret for the tens of thousand® of dol lars that, has been paid Southern men to give their views of any and all sub jects. The Southern brother is wel come In the North and is always heard with interest and respect. "It ought to be kept in mind, how ever. by all Northern assemblies and the management of all chautauquas that to get the best results from these visits by Souther- men the best repre sentatives of Southern men should be selected. On this score it is no more than the truth to sav that Rev. Sam P. Jones of Georgia, is no fit repre sentative of his people and that his style of address does not promote mutual respect and mutual profit be tween North and South. His coarse buffoonery and broad stories stand in the same relation to the true Chautau qua entertainment that the cheap vaudeville does to the reputable thea tre. He is smart enough to deliver an entertaining and instructive lecture, but he persists in the repitition from year to year of a jumble of jokes and abuse without any point or aim in his discourse. Those who seek for the good in his savings are seeking a few grains of wheat in a bushel of chaff. His moral lessons, to change the figure, are drowned in a flood of slush and his humor is without the grace, point and brightness that are demanded of the modern platform. It is time Rev. Sam P. Jones was re legated. Northern people are becom ing tired of him and the Southern people of the more progressive class have frequently said that he does not speak for them. “In striking contrast with Mr. Jones is Bishop Galloway of Mississippi. It is the contrast between a scholarly, eloquent and dignified gentleman who has a message to bring to thoughtful hearers and a coarse and vulgar joker wh-i is out to raise a laugh at what ever expense or decency and the finer feelings of his audience. The Ep worth Chautauqua management de serve praise for bringing Bishop Gal loway here. He speaks for the best people of his section and is evidently an earnest and sincere man who Is trying to build up both white and black in the South. “So. while Southern men will con tinue to be heard with interest in the North the choice should fall on those who are fit representatives of their people and not upon buffoons who fall below the Southern standard and who underestimate Northern intelligence by putting a high price upon cheap stories and vulgar raillery.” Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera & Diarrhea Remedy Almost every family has need of a reliable remedy for colic or diarrhea at some tune during the year.
