A PRTNCELY SALARY.

The presence in Durham for the past
few days of Mr.. J. b. Duke, president
Of the American Tobacco Co, recalls
the wonderful success of that gentle
man in only a few short years.
Not many years ago this correspon-
dent knew him when he was at work
on the farm a few miles out from Dur
ham. He had energy then, and what
ever he did was well done, but nobody
dreamed of the wonderful success that
was in store for him.
He is to-day drawing the largest sal
airy ever paid native North Carroll
nian and equal to that of the Presi-
dent of the United States. His salary
is $4,000 year.
He is quiet, dignifed, and reserved,
and from his earliest boyhood was
noted for keeping his own counsels.
Though in a few short years he has
stepped from the humble position of a
farm hand to the presidency of one of
the biggest manufacturing concerns
in the world, he to-day successfully
holds his hand with the shrewdest and
most experienced business men in the
metropolis of America.

DURHAAf'S PUBLIC BUILDING.

kilograms from Senator Marion But.
Ter and Major VIM. A. Guthrie bring
the glad tidings that the bin making
an appropriation of $4,000 for pub
lie building in Durham has passed the
United States Senate. This bin passed
its final reading on Wednesday. and,
therefore. goes to the House of Repre-
scntatives. What its fate will be there
nobody knows.
For a number Of years it has been
patent TO the most casual observer tha5
Durham was entitled to a handsome
recognition in the way Of public
building.
1t was entitled to this by reason of
the large business done through the
postoffice, but especially on account Of
the immense revenue paid to the gov
eminent annually. The argument in
favor of such an appropriation was
Overwhelming, and the wonder has
been that no action could be secured
heretofore.
Senator Butler deserves the thanks
of Durham people for his prompt ac-
ton in this matter. 1t shows that he
is looking after the interests of the
people of North Carolina.

THE LIBRARY ASSURED.

Whatever Durham people undertake
they push to a successful terminus. III
this people have any one leading char
acteristic it is that when they put their
hands to the pillow they never look
back. So when the movement for a
public library was launched the ques-
ton as to its success or failure was
settled.
The board of trustees and ladies'
auxiliary held an enthusiastic meeting
in the directors room of the First Ma
tienal Bank Wednesday evening at 6
o'clock. The ATTENDANCE was large
and everybody present was enthusiast
tic over the success of the movement.
An active canvass has been made by
the ladies since the last meeting and
they report the sum of $1,000 raised
in addition ITO the large amount sub
scribed at the mass meeting.
This is indeed a gratifying showing
and is but in keeping with Durham
and Durham people. large number
of people have not yet been seen, many
of them abundantly able to con
tribute largely to this cause, but rest
assured no body will be sighted AL

BRIEF NEWS ITEMS.

There is already much talk about the
next State Fair. For two years Col.
Julian S. Carr directed that institution
and made a wonderful success OF 1t,
and now that another of Durham
county's popular citizens is at the
helm this people are determined, II
possible, to do more to make the fair
a success. Col Benehan Cameron has
gone to work in earnest and will leave
no stone unturned to make the fair
grand success. 1t is a North Carolina
enterprise and deserves the support
and encouragement of every true
North Carolinian.
Mr. Jacob Levy, for a number OF
years a successful merchant and who
went from here to Richmond, has been
in the city for several days prospect
ing. He has not said, butt he is evident
ly looking this way with view to
coming back. While in Durham he
was wonderfully successful-made
money, and when he decided to leave
had big trade. Durham is one of the
livest towns in the South, and there IS
always room for one more.

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshheld, Mo-,
writes: "For six years have been a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, ID. e,
Springfield, H., and st. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After SIX
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
moval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use Before I had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had / only used your SIS. long ago,
I would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $50"
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal SIS. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.
