noted mechanics; his family, one of the
oldest and most illustrious of The State,

his maternal side.
He, at an early aye, evinced marked
mt chanical turn OF mind, inherited from
his palernal ancestors, and the first years
of his young manhood were spent at a
mechanical trade.
After this, he engaged in the stock
business, having early developed fond~
ness for horses. This business has ever
since engaged his attention. For two
years he was engaged by Gen. J. 5, Carr

attention TO conducting r general livery,

vidually, Their most energetic
activities have ever been en-
listed in any and all works of
charity philanthropy and Chris
tian education; and all of these
interests have been fostered and
encouraged by most liberal do
nations and endowments.
Besides their enormous gifts
to church, charitable and edu-
cational institutions, they have
furnished employment to thou
sands of men, women and chill
dren not only in Durham, but
all over the State as well 1t
must not be for gotten that their
State pride and love is second
only to their solicitous concern
for their home, the peop'e of
Durham.
Of the vast amount of money
they annually expend for labor
all over this State, 10 this city
alone. over $4,000 are paid to
those in their employ.
They are in no wise forgetful
of their less fortunate friends
and former associates; but are
ever ready and willing to give a
helping hand to them, as we'll
as to their deserving sons. In
deed, they take a delight and
pride in helping to success any
INDECENT young man who may
be striving to lift himself above
his unfortunate surroundings.
And many there are who having
profited by their kind and timely
aid, are today surrounded with
blessings and comforts trace
able to these kind acts-the re-
membrance of which inspires
them in turn to extend like as
sistance to cases once their own
And thus the endless chain of
good deeds goes on, and will
only be perfected in eternity.
What adds greater beauty to
this picture of love and Chris

sentiment, that, in this, as in
all other matters, characterIzes
the concord of thought and
action that always influences

The gifts to hospitals, art in

than s3S, 900, 900. This speaks
volumes for the liberality and
