naturally controls trade that makes
both himself and his house leading fac
tors in the mercantile life of North Caro-
lima. He is as popular in Baltimore as
he is in WILLIAMSON, and the establish
ment of Daniel Miller & Co. is a pOpu-
lar headquarters for Tar-heel visitors to
Baltimore. During the fifteen years that
Col. Lamb has represented this establish
ment he has by his own intelligent and
active efforts, combined with the fair
dealing and unsurpassed facilities of the
house itself, built up q trade throughout
his territory hardly surpassed by any
man in his line, trade so extensive as
to require two assistant statesmen. These
are Mr.. G. G. Lamb, formerly Of Hender-
son, and Mr. John G. Lamb, of Williams
ton, all thorough business men and
most popular and competent statesmen.
They are all loyal Carolinians and are
not only prominent as business men, but
prominent and deservedly popular in the
political and social life especially, of
Eastern Carolina. Col. w. G. Lamb is
one of the staunchest and truest Demo
Gratis in Eastern Carolina, and notwith-
standing his extensive business interests
he has time and means to expend in the
interest Of his party and is one of its
wisest councillors. Mr.. John G. Lamb, his
son, is young man of the highest IN
egrity and Of sterling character and bust
ness qualifications. He was at an early
age called by Senator Ransom to Wash
ington to fill the responsible position OF
secretary to the committee on COM
merce, a position which he filled with
credit to himself and to the satisfaction
of every member of the committee. These
three Lambs are among the livest in the
fold.
