-. North CaroIinian in Chicago.

Mai. Julian 5. Carr, the gallant young
Durhamire who anne so rear being the
sent Lieutenant Governor of North
aroma. has been spending the hot
n'nnths with his family, in the Metropolis
- The Lake Region. We observe hat
r,,st Of the dailies mention his presence
N the city. From the Daily Tribune
49, copy the following:
Mai j. S. Carr, of North Carolina
! stopping at the Grand Pacific Hotel,
md = reporter dropped in yesterday to
..ccrtain from him the feeling
in North Carolina regarding the
81. empted assassination Of Pres
dent Garfield. Maj. Carr says
that nothing since thai death OF Gen.
S.onewalI jackson has so stirred AID
togchcd the hearts of the Southern
r,ople IS this dastardly outrage.
Whine the majority of the voters of
our State said the Major, cast their
ballots for Gen Hancock, we cheerfully
accent the will of the majority Of the
country, and after the Inauguration Of
ten. Garfield felt that he was our Presi
dent as much as Of any other section,
and we loved and honered him as such,
- well as for his personal merits; and
when this blow was struck it was
aimed at every Southern heart. No
l4r. Of the country responded more
quickly wi tender sympathy, none
Gt'trct more earnest prayer for his re
cuyery than the South. Nothing since
tie War has drawn the hearts of North
and South m re closely together and
raised the veil that has 80 closely held
I1 designing politicians, thus revealing
10 all sections that the hearts of the
Ir1plc are united in love for our coun-
try. On this occasion | am proud to
say the South is solid in her loving
sympathy and earnest regret. Regard
liz. the proposed $3.50, 600 fund for
Mrs. Garfield, | think, if the matter i,
properly presented to the Southern
people. they will gladly subscribe $780,

Noticing that Messrs. w. T.. Black
we'll & Co., the famous smoking-tobacco
manufacturers, of witch firm Mai. Carr
is member, are introducing their new
brand Of cigar.ts in Chicago, the re
porter asked how they came to add
1his department to their already nor
nous business. The Major replied
Some time since the matter Was
brought to our attention, and upon in
ycstlgatiOn we found the demand for
cr.a,cts was increasing with unprece-
oeuted rapidity. and advantage was
Ing taken OF this to food the market
with ci"arcts made tlom poor tobacco
aui ~i4voreG with most IL furious mat
te This caused us to commence y series
o experiments o ascertain whether
IL vas not possible to manufacture a
perfectly pure cigaret which would ri
SINE tine meet with public approval.
These experiments have extended over
mtny months, but 1t is only lately that
VIZ lave succeeded in making a cigaret
ou which We are wiling to stake our
reputation. Our new brand, Black
wells Durham cisaree,' is absolutely
pure and is so guaranteed by Us, and
is matc from the best tobacco in the
world. 1t /, Il matter of pride that
North Carolina loaf tobacco is now
ucognizcd The world over as without
AN equal, and IL brings the highest
pi.ce III the markets.
In reply to a question as to the adul
tcralIon OF cigarcts, Maj. Carr said:
The public have idea 20 what an ex-
trut this is done. Opium, vallerian,
aud other drugs are said to be yer,
largely USED Uy some manufacturers,
and the injurious Influences Of these
irugS are becoming so widely felt in
their damage to health that the atten-
ton Of many leading scientific and
medi,aI men has been attracted, and
they p~hoph,Sy incalulable damage to
health if the use of dragged Cigarets
j. continued. Another great evil is the
cgaret covering. the only unir furious
covering Icing pure imported rlce-pa-
per, and this being expensive, other
injurious materials, sue as common
paper. etc, are largely used, although
neatly every manufacturer clans TO use
the pure article. Using only the best
and pures tobacco, uurc imported rice
paper. aud emitting entirely all drugs
and 4dTlteIatious, we think our cioaret
viii meet Il popular demand and judg-
ing from the present sale, we realize
more than ever that the public are al
ways r. dy t" p~atlonize Il really good
q tIcle.'
