Sir Walter Scott is an example ofA a
great man, who, So far as we can Judge,
enjoyed paving the penalties of his
greatnessreven in his hour of death. He
was great enough, but then he was that
kind of a man, and the circumstances
among which he lived were favorable
That was before the day of the penny
post, of the electric telegraph, of rail
ways and of the interviewer, and in his
prime he lived at AbboisfoISi. which is
equivalent nowadays 10 saying that he
lived at Joppa. He seems to have been
singularly free from the penalties of
greatness, which have enormously in
creased since the Wizard of the North
went home, and such of them as came
in his way he seems to have heartily en-
joyed.
he appears now and then to have
rehshed being turned into a rare show,
and to being pointed at wherever he
went as Walter Scott. Indeed this be-
ing pointed at seems To have been rel
ished by many men whose greatness was
undoubted. Thackeray seems some
times almost 10 have resented not being
pointed at.--All the Year Round.

Then and They Recite the History
as Printed Below.
Now that Durham has gotten TO be a
great tobacco market, known all over the
civilized globe as the location of two of
the largest tobacco factories in the world,
it will be interesting to know the names
of the fellows who sold the first load and
also of the men who prepared it for for
eigr markets and the methods adopted
for its manufacture.
Mr.. W. II. Horton, who was among the
callers at THE GLOBE office to day, relates
a bit of history concerning the old days
which, when we view the mammoth
buildings occupied by the two great man
ufacturing firms of this city and consider
the immense business interests and mil
lions of dollars which they represent, can
hardly be credited.
Yet it is or was as Mr.. Horton tells it,
and people familiar with the history of
these firms are no longer surprised at
anything within the possibilities of for
tune and finance.
Mr. Horton tells how, upon a certain
day, when but little of the weed was
grown in this county and Durham was
making her first bid for the little that
was, he started into town with load of
tobacco; how lie was met on the road
three miles out of town by Mr.. Washing.
ton Duke, who offered to save him the
trouble of going further by driving bar
gain on the spot; how the offer was ac-
cepted and the manufacture of the Duke
Durham smoking tobacco commenced
from that day. He recalls as though it
were yesterday the $40 wheat fan which
was used in cleaning the raw material,
and tells how it was afterwards beaten to
crumbs by dusky African whose native
muscle was the only machinery used in
the crude manufacture. 1t produced,
however, very superior article of smok-
ing tobacco and was the acorn from which
grew the giant oak now known as the
famous cigarette firm of w. Duke, Sons
& Go.
Our visitor also recalls the circum.
stances attending the first manufacture
of the celebrated Durham Bull smoking
tobacco and gives the names of the men
who enjoy the distinction of growing the
first material used by this firm.
John p Robinson,
Moses Cash,
Were the gentlemen who thus immor-
talized themselves, and the story is as
follows:
Having brought in load to try the
new market, they were waiting on the
street, studying the situation, as it were,
before taking it to the warehouse, when
Col. Buck Blackwell met them and pur-
chased all they had.
And from this was made the first of
the now world wide favorite and univer
sally-known smoking tobacco which,
through the wonderful enterprise and un-
firing energy of its manufacturer, Mr.. w.
T. Blackwell, won for Durham name and
fame when otherwise it would have been
only the most insignificant of railroad
villages.
And the fact that all this was but a
short time ago and to-day we have a
prosperous and growing city,

Will They Do 1t?
Winston Sentinel

THE DURHAM DAILY GLOBE has started
subscription to have North Carolina
represented at the Worlds fair. 1t heads
the list by donation of $3.50 and asks
all North Carolinians to swell the amount.
Since the $4,000 appropriation (?) by
the last General Assembly proves of no
avail, we feel warranted in saying that
all loyal North Carolinians will encour-
age this effort and appropriate according
to their respective means.
