A Card from Colonel j. 8. Carr.
Colonel j. S. Carr has gone

Mr.. Editor: In connection
with the above statement, which
is very wide Of the truth, permit
me to announce that in the re
cent sale of my inter st in

Company, the transaction was a
bona fide one disposed of my

one else hold any such stock
whatsoever in which | have any
interest direct or remote.
The Blackwell's Durham To-
bacco Company was chartered
by the General Assembly of
North Carolina. Its main Office
is in Durham, N. c., where IL
lists and pays its taxes. The
charter Of the organization has
not changed one whit since the
sale. It's purchasers have not
merged 1t into any organization
or corporation Of any kind, so
far as / have been advised. It
remains the same independent,
honorable organization IL has
been 10 the past. What the
purchasers may elect TO do in
future | have no means Of iudg-
ing-haying paid spot cash for

The gentlemen composing the
syndicate are Of the highest
character and Of unlimited

means much TO the agricultural
interest Of North Carolina and
Virginia. Very truly,

the paper a few years sold it to the
late Col. ]. d. Cameron, who
moved it to Durham in 1874
Col. Cameron conducted the paper
until October LIST, 1881, when he
sold the paper to E, G. Hackney,

has had control of it since that

he leased it to other parties.
