AWAIT DEVELOPMENTS.

If q sale II to be Made the Facts will
be Given the Public.
It is to be hoped that our exchanges
will not be too hasty in their com.
ments upon the reported sale Of the
Durham Bull Factory and make il
appear that Durham has collapsed
in consequence Of it. They should
wait for such contamination, be.
fore saying that the thing is done
We call their attention to this fact
because we have read in several pa.
pers items similar to the one here
copied.
The great Blackwell Durham
Bull tobacco mandatory has been
sold to the American Tobacco Com
pany, and that by it nearly thous-
and people are thrown out Of work.
If the sale has been made and the
great business il to be removed or
closed, it will be a damper upon Dur
ham and a positive loss to North Caro-
lima. It Is an immense business, and
we must hope that the great devour-
or has not swallowed into its capa-
cious NAV a North Carolina institu-
ton known all around the world

A movement is on foot looking to
this contamination, we are lead to
believe, and that is all we know about
it. We don't suppose any member
Of either firm can tell right now what
viii be done, and lie certainly viii
not tell it until arrangements and
contracts are perfected.
AS theory and speculation are rife
the Sun will give its impressions, if
this reported sale Is to be consumI
mated. 1t is this: We believe that
the Bull Factory win be a bigger
thing than ever before in its whole
history. The work viii 90 on. We
just take q common sense view Of it,
without knowing, or being able to
know the private business Of any
firm. Our readers may rest assured
we win give them the official news in
regard to this big move when it is
ready for the public, if the occasion
win warrant its publication. Our
people should possess their souls in
in patience and they viii see what
they will see.
But be assured Of one thing Dur
ham is all right, and her march is
onward, whatever may take place.
IL the salo is made her course will be
forward with 4 mighty push. We
possess here the elements to do it.
We have the utmost confidence in
Mr. Cars devotion to Durham. He
has already borne testimony to this
fact, and We here take the liberty to
say that it win not DO one whit less
If anything, more. The Messrs.
Duke have given sufficient evidence
that they are a blessing to this com.
