Miller, Mr. Carr said: While I have money, no blind Confederate soldier's house shall be sold from him." iThe sentence just quoted deserves to be cut in imperishable marble. We have no doubt it will be an inscription on the monument of the man who penned it. It will be engraven on the heart of every Confederate soldier. It will challenge the admiration of every man of soldierly qualities, wherever read or heard.

Mr. Carr is too young a man to have experienced the, hardships or met the perils of the war, and it is more to his credit that he comes td the rescue of this veteran. And lest any man may suggest that he is seeking popularity at the hands of the old soldiers, it niay be well to have it known that this sort of thing aiding the poor and" relieving distress is nothing new with Julian Carr. His charity is of. the large-hearted kind.

His liberality is in full proportion to his ample means. We love to honor a man like this. The State is proud of such a son. The people are blessed who have him with them. can nave an mea oi tne great system carried on.

Some Facts About His Wonderful Career, add the Great Durham Bull Smoking Tobacco THE ROMANCE OF SUCCESS. Tbe Gold Leaf takes pleas- presenting to it? reader this a portrait of of forth parolma's foremost citizens- Mr Julian of Durham together with brief sketch of his life and the great industrial enterprise, of which he is the head. We have reference course to the' Durham Bull Smoking Tobacco Com-pany, of which Mr. Carr is the Presi dent and controlin's: spirit. -For this sketch we are indebted to the Southern Tobacco Journal, of Danville, Va.

The story of Mr. Carr and his wonderful success reads almost like a ro-mance and we re sure that the narrative will be read with interest by the Gold Leaf's many friends." The man of all others in North Carolina to-day, whose. name; is a household word is Julian S. Carr, of Durham. This is a degree of distinction which seldom comes to one man now-a-days, and more especially since that man moves and acts exclusively in the walks of private life.

He whp jises1 so high in the estimation of all 'the people in this late age of hurry and rush must generally do so through the medium of an official career, and yet this is not the case with Mr. Carr. From the misty sky-land' region in the West to where the lapping waves kiss the white sea. sands in the East Mr. J.

S. Carr is known, and wherever his name is spoken "it is With love and a devotion seldom shown themon in private ranks. I Mr. Carr is a native of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, the seat of the Sfate Here his boyhood was spent and here he received a fair edu cation in the stormy days lust before the war. When that great struggle ranre 'amr-rfce fatefef i 1 xent abroad for help, Mr.

Carr joined the ranks where he served as a private soldier until the end. Returning to the old homestead where desolation hung like festoon mosses everywhere" he lookcd into a future that seemed dark indeed. Following the adage go West" he went, and landed in Little Rock, Arkansas. Here Mr. Carr met with that reasonable degree of success which is the sure reward of sober and intelligent application to work, but he did not make his fortune.

In, 1870, when home 'on a visit to relatives in North Carolina, he was pressed upon to; give up lifejh the West and cast his lot with the people of his native- At that time Messrs. Blackwell Green were doing a small but profitable aa4-safe business in the manufacture of smoking tobacco in Durham. I The firm was looking around for partner and Mr. Carr soon discovered that this was his chance. For a few thousand dollars! he purchased an in the business, and here.

the illustrious career which has brought him "where he is to-day. From the day Mr. Carr entered the firm the great Durham Bull Smoking Tobacco business prospered. The wooden Jiouse which was the early home of this greaf enterprise is still standing in with the 'words The tie that binds two hemispheres," painted upon it. Mr.

Carr brought wonderful capacity into the concern forgone so young. For seven or eight years the bulk of the profits of the firm was spent in "advertising, and notably a great portion" of it in newspaper advertising. In 5 connection it may be well to stite that Mr. Carr claims to-day that he" has found that newspaper advertising pays better than any other, and a man who has spent so hiany thousands in this line ceriainiy ought to know, whereof he speaks. But the little wooden building could not long contain this growing and -expanding firm.

The Durham Bull linked with the wide-awake fame off its originator, Mr. W. T. Blackwell, grew more in. demand every year.

The firm was ever watchful that the high standard of the goods should be kept pure, and hence one of the first secrets of its wonderful success. The bulk of the business, growing so rapidly, a new building was demanded. This has been supplied, and now they operate' the largest smoking tobacco factory in the world. Nowhere on earth can another such enterprise be found. From cellar to toD it is equipped throughout in; the, best-possi- ble manner for the manufacture of ismoiting tobacco.

Tlie head of the Blackwell Durham Co-Operative Company is our esteemed townsman, Mr. Julian S. Carr, who is to-day one of the most prominent men in, North Carolina, having been frequently mentioned in connection with the nomination for Governor of the State, Possessing all elements of true nfknhood, successful business capacity, Croad and liberal views of the progress of Durham, he faithfully walks along the furrows of life, sowing seeds of good works in the hearts of his In glancing at the record of his life, we are Struck with wonder that one so quiet, so modest, so unselfish, so unobtrusive, could do so much. It reminds us that it is not the noisy cataract that does the. greatest work, but the tranquil rivulet that glides along through the meadows, bearing upon its silver current fertility and refresh ment, and blending the promise of harvests with its rippling song.

Mr. Carr is a benefactorvand many will rise up in his day and call hjnVblessed. It is easy to work when the result of ourrlabor is manifest it is easy to work when we ar cheered bythe applause of the multitude it is easy to work when drum, -fife and flag are waiting to announce our triumph but difficult to labor in the unnoticed and unconspicuous walks of life where the results are to be gathered in the long, We gaze with admira tisiwnen we come to reap tne gpiaen harvesTliu hearts exult with joy 1 3 when we hear tiUnlgs of the harvest home.

honor to such rnen ele North Carolinians light to do honor to everywhefe de-such a man as Julian S. Carr. His praises are unsr by every newspaper, but it is because he makes himself loved by his good works. Bv nature Mr. Carr is a mod-est and unassuming gentleman, and his deeds of charity are but the promptings of a noble heart and generous disposition.

He does good for the" sake of doing good alone. The following deserved tribute of praise to Mr. Carr we take pleasure in' in this connection. It is from the Wilmington Messenger and explains itself If Julian Carr keeps on fooling with the Confederate soldiers, they and their friends will be removing him from theprivate station. He has just been caught in an act that "reflects the highest credit upon him, and we wish proclaim it abroad in the hope that others may be found doing likewise, when occasion offers.

There is in Cleveland county a blind veteran of the Confederate war, whose home was under mortgage and about to be sold over his head. Mr. W. H. Miller, of the Shelby Aurora, took.the matter in hand and made an appeal for the.

poor man through his paper. The responses were not as ready or-as liberal as might have been expected. The Aurora says: "Those who were most able did not give the most. The liberal ind generous men are not often found in the ranks of the rich. Material wealth has a dwarfing'' effect upon the soul, and increase of money creates a desire for more, money and diminishes the love of htHnanity.

Children have learned to know and thoughout the entire land the BulK tobacco is famous.

Throughout the land Why; bless you, America no longer bounds the fame of this wonderful smoke. Wherever the pipe is used the Durham Bull has found its way. The German peasant, starting out for his daily task, takes "down his sack 'of Bull and 'fills I his pipe. The Swiss hunter paustJ among the Alpine heights and refills his pipe from the product of Mr. Carr's factory.

The Russian exile, going away into life servitude in the Trans-: Baikal mines, smokes the Bull brand as. he trudges along with the clanking chains at his feet. In Africa, in India, in China, Japan and the "Isles of the Sea" this great consoler of mankind has lound its way, and so-day the sun never sets on that land or people where the Durham Bull tobacco is not used Mr. J. S.

Carr is the great execu-1 live head of this vast He has managed the affairs of this, fac-tory with wonderful success and has, by his liberality" made friends throughout the Stale. Beginning at home he has given employment to hundreds of deserving people, many ofjwhoin are white. A small army pf superintendents and managers are always seen moving about the factory.
