The Durham daily globe., 1894-10-24

II the fair and ever made by Mr. Carr,
which is saying much The space i. en-
closed with tobacco rope. In the cen
er is n beautiful Ferris wneel Of tobacco
frost work, the cars Of which are large
bags of tobacco This wheel is twelve
feet in diane er and as it revolves upon
its axis is beautiful sight. Next is
sea saw working upon a huge tobacco |
bag as pivot and on the ends are other |
large bags of tobacco On the opposite
side is still another beautiful design 1t |,
is a romantic and picturesque looking |
mill house and near it is a sail boat which |
tosses on imaginary waves as the ma
chinery is set in motion The big arms
OF the old fastened wind mill bear the
words "Blackwe'ps Durham Smoking
Tobacco" On one corner is an exhibit
of long cut tobacco No aud 2, and a
pretty figure Of gir drawing water from
a we'll and when the bucket comes up a
cunning frog is seen to poke his head
out of it. On another corner is the
"whistling boy" and on the third is the
400 cut plug" and gypsy woman play
ing a harp. On the fourth corner is
plug cut tobacco, yellow label and red
label, and here is to be seen the typical
"wiId man of BOrneo" whom it is said
was actually captured by Bull Durham
man while talking of the incompatible
merits Of the Bull Durham tobacco.
This exhibit is particularly attractive.
1t is new and novel and when all the
features are in motion it never fails to be
surrounded 10y delighted crowd And
we daresay that nowhere on earth are
more attractive designs gotten up to IL
lustrate the great industries than are
these which set forth the wonders of this
great Durham industry.
But we must pass on to the third diVi-
sion in which is to be seen the exhibit of
the Commonwealth Cotton Manufacture
ing company, of which Mr. S W Hol-
man is superintendent, and we found him
tusily engaged in getting things into
proper shape. In this space is one of the
automatic knitting machines which are
used at the mills, and this is in full oper
ton, and is manipulated in an interesting
manner by young lady who is in charge
Here is also an attractive exhibit of knit
half-hose, hosiery yarns, finished goods,
etc. Here too, are to be seen samples of
ore from the famous region of Bessemer
City, in which Colonel Carr is interested
At the end of the space is an attractive
display Of salt sacks of many designs
made by the Golden Belt Bag Manufac
turing company, of which Mr.. S T. Nor
gah, Of Durham, is president, and Colonel
Carr is vice, president. A handsome ex
hibit by the Durham Fertilizer company
is also being prepared SurmOunting all

courses the familiar strains of the cold

! the most magnificent ever witnessed
We took a hurried glance at the pou }r,
and The stock and these surpass in nun
bers and fine specimens any collection
ever before aggregated in the state ano
the sight of them IS an 'eye Opener'
every behOller
In floral hal there are many h~au +.
things. The exhibit Of Messrs " II 4
r. S. Tucker e Co. is one which W.,nl
do credit to the interior Of any ot II,
most superb establishments on Br "a / ~
Some of the most beautiful work in ha ld
painted china which we have ever seen il
exhibited by Mrs p Child, of R1leig h
1t is the very poetry and perfec>i N o
the art and has the delicate and finished
appearance of the finest imported work
But there are a myriad of bealtie:
which it is impossible to describe in thi:
sketch
Our advice to all is to 60 and see tn

pride which must inspire all of our ci'i
zens when they behold it, for it is mag
nticent success for which Durham i
entitled and is accredited a large shar
