rigidly departmentized, and
when your turn comes for a per-
sonal interview with the presid-
ing genius of the house-which
may be in an hour and may not
be in a day-you are amazed
that this man with seemingly
intvrmmable array Of business
before him, can ever find time
for the Thousand and one out
side affairs that, if you know
Colonel Carr, you are aware he
takes an active interest in. If
you are from the North, ami
have the hazy views about
Southern incidence which for,
merly held such sway, you never
cease wondering how it all came
about that this man, Southern
to the core, took a bankrupt
business and has made it pay
big dividends on a capital stock
of 100000. If you are famil-
lar with the marvellous resources
of the South, and know that in
the vast development of the past
twenty years Southern men have
taken the great initiative. your
surprise is less a shock to your
beliefs, and in its place is rather
exultation that the proper order
has been followed out-that the
energies of a Southern man
have given force and direction
TO the development Of an indus
TRY which has transformed a
whistling station and a water
tank into a thriving, bustling
city Of more than twelve thou
sand prosp ring people.
The somewhat romantic gene
isis Of Durham is already a twice
told tale. People have heard
how the soldiers of Sherman =
army, winding their way W
from the sea, discovered the rx
cellence Of the North Carolina
bright.leaf tobacco, and now
their yearning for more % the
kind they found while in camp
near Durham started a demand
for it IN the North. Blackwell
& Green were among the Dur
ham firms who undertook Il
meet this demand. About 1870

chartered, with a capitalization
of 81, 200, 900.
No better tobacco for the pipe
or cigarettes is found than the
bright leaf of North Carolina,
and, of course, the merit of the
a.ticle is behind the genius of
the maker and seller; but The
marveious grasp of this man Of
affairs shines out in the astound-
ing scope of his operations.
There is almost no enterprise in
his home city in which he does
not bear a leading part, and his
activities reach out all over
North Carolina and beyond.
Besides being president of the
tobacco company, he is presi~
dent OF the First National
Bank, president of the Golden
Belt Manufacturing Co., presi-
dent of the Electric Light Cons
psny, vice-president of the Dur
ham Cotton Manufacturing Co.,
and treasurer of the Interstate
Telephone Co, all of Durham.

SEASICK ON SEA LEGS.

Officers and Sailors of the Navy Ere
 quently Distressed-Dewey No Excep-
 ton.
 "The officers and sailors of the navy are frequent sufferers from seasickness, even after they have got their sea legs on, observed naval surgeon to a Star reporter. Indeed, think can safely say that, young and old, one-third of the entire navy officers as well as men are seasick during storms as well as at other times. In theory naval officers and sailors are entirely free from such so-called weakness, but, in fact, they have stomachs and are sufferers at times the same as the rest of humanity. The sailor, in this respect, has many ad- vantages over the naval officers, and is less sensitive to seasickness, for the reason that he seldom has what is called shore duty to perform, and he is on the ship all of the time, barring the days off now and then of liberty. When an officer it is entirely different, for he seldom has to spend as much time on the ship as he does on shore The three years sea duty is generally followed by three years shore duty, during which tlIHe HIS Std leSS d1u SlUfldCu entirety disappear, and have to be built up again. It is rare that an officer on re- turn to sea duty does not have to go through all the painful and distressing experience of his first seasickness, and l am not sure but each recurrence of this experience is worse than the origi- nal. I know dozen officers of from fifteen to twenty-five years experience in the navy, and I know of at least fifty others who admit that they are as lia- ble to seasickness now as they were when they were middies fresh from the naval academy. Why, even Admiral Dewey with his twenty-two and half years experience at sea-he completes his forty-fifth year of service In the navy Saturday next, September 23d-is still subject to attacks of seasickness, and he makes no effort to conceal it, and could not conceal it if he desired, for when he is sick he is sick all over.'

be roasted to turn; that is seldom done in England, for the retailer is generally the roaster, and the process means loss of weight, amounting to about one-tenth. Then after the grind ing, which should be reserved to the last minute, comes the making of the coffee, highly controversial question which we leave experts to settle. The results in this country, though better now than formerly, when the country hotel often produced only "a nankeen- colored fiuid,' are seldom quite satis- factory. Yet the drinking of coffee is no novelty in England. In London it had slight start of tea, for the first coffee house was opened about the year 1852.

Indian coffee sails under false colors being shiped to Mocha and sent off as the genuine article. The true Mocha berry is small and dark yellow in color the impostors are larger and much pal CT. But some of the Venezuelan var ieties closely resemble Mocha, and so do certain of the best Brazil and the West Indies. The fact is indirectly shown by table of average prices. It is not headed by Arabia, but by British Hon duras, Cuba coming as q good second, Arabia third, with the Dutch East h. dies close behind. Brazil, though so far ahead in quantity, and not without fine varieties, must produce great amount of secondrate quality, seeing that she is at the end of the list. While the average price of Honduras coffee is 20 cents a pound that of Brazil is only a little over cents. But it is not enough to obtain berry of fine quality; much remains to be done before good cup of coffee can result. We are told that as with the best wine, taste and aroma improve by keeping.
 In thoroughly dry atmohphere, per- lection is supposed to be reached in the eighth year. The berry, moreover, must

 It may surprise some people to learh' on the authority of a Consular lepcrt issued recently, that Brazil can claim to rank as the greatest coffee-produc- ing country in the world.

It is indeed, believed to have furnished in 1898 more than three-quar- ters of all the coffee raised in America, though that continent contributed 93 per cent. of the total quantity grown on the globe.
