A TOBACCO TOWN
Durham, North Carolina, Grows On
Its One Business

Durham, ~ c., July 24.-Prosper-
ity reigns in this section of the I'm
ion in a degree never known to the
past. The present prosperous condi-
lions are attributed to the high
prices that leaf tobacco has brought
in the local markets in recent years.
Durham is the heart of the bright"
tobacco district, from which the
world receives its supply of leaf for
ready-made cigarettes and for genu-
inc Bull" Durham smoking tobacco,
used by smokers who roll their own
cigarettes.
The manufacture of Bull Durham
tobacco is Durham's leading industry
and the Bull" factory, where a mil
lion sacks of this famous old tobacco
are made daily, is buster than ever.
The Bull" factory is the largest con-
sumner of the choicest leaf grown in
the Carolina-Virginia district.
An army of men is employed all
the year round in procuring this
choice leaf for Bull Durham. They
visit the farmers; inspect the leaf as
it grows and is cured; buy it direct
from the farmers or at the daily auc-
lions i'm the leaf-warehouses during
the season.
More than 3O,OOO,000 pounds OF the
best tobacco grown is handled an
nually by the Bull Durham factory.
Not a pound OF any but the most care
fully selected Virginia-North Caro-
lima bright" tobacco ever enters the
factory. Moreover. only rs per cent.
of the selected tobacco purchased is
actually used in Bull Durham. The
remaining % per cent is not consid-
cred good enough for this great
brand
United States Internal Revenue
officers visit the Bull factory regu-
larly and make rigid inspection OF
everything contained therein and OF
every detail of operation and manu-
facture. These Federal officers then
submit official reports. and these re-
ports furnish authoritative proof OF
the purity of this world'famous
brand OF smoking tobacco.
The Bull Durham industry is rec
ognized as an important factor in
bringing prosperity to this part OF
the country, and in maintaining this
prosperity. To the people of this
section the famous Bull Durham,
Bull is more than a trademark for
this generations-old brand of to-
bacco; he stands as a champion OF
good times.

sHETeuRNE BOYS JOCKEYS
Brothers Add to vermonts Fame
Alonq With Horses and Sugar

Willie Hopkins. eldest son of W..
II. Hopkins. manager of the breeding
barns at Shelburne farms, has al
ready became well known as sue
cessful jockey, and now the next son,
Freddie, is making a record in the
same line.
The New York Sun recently said
as follows:
HAS Vermont started to produce
Jockeys? We are aware that this
Down East state was the birth place
of many first-class trotters, and II
memory serves us right, the Green
Mountain state produced Goldsmith
Maid, who in her day was considered
the best light harness mare in the
world.
I'VE also know that Vermont pro-
duces maple sugar of quality not ex
celled in the world. But until Fred
dy Hopkins won the Rockaway
stakes the other afternoon on
"Tarts," we had never given the
Green Mountain state thought as
the birth place OF riders.
willie Hopkins. a brother of the
subject of this note, had already OBJ
tanned better than a fair reputation
as a jockey before he went abroad
last season to follow his chosen call
ing. He is under contract to the
stable OF Francis Hitchcock and the
Brothers La Montague, two Ameri-
can owners, whose horses are trained
by that clever young Washington,
Preston Burch.'
The fact is worth mentioning that
many who are in the habit of plac-
ing wager we're under the idea
that it was the elder Hopkins that
was riding instead of his younger
brother

ASBESTOS IN VERMONT
Leads United States in Production Of
That Material
Rd0Q&]
TENSD1

Probably the majority Of the peo-
pie of Vermont do not realize that
asbestos Is found and mined TO any
extent in this state, and still less
number know that such is not only
the case but that Vermont leads every
state in the union in production OF
the fre-proof material, along with
granite and maple products.
Some interesting statistics are Civ
en- in a pamphlet The Production
OF Asbestos published by the de-
partment OF the interior, United
States geological survey.
In 1907 in the little town of Lowell
VT. the Lowell Lumber & Asbestos
comapny. now the Chrysotile Ashes
tos corporation. erected a mill on the
southwestern slope OF Mount Belvi-
dere, and the following year began
operations. The mill was greatly en-
larged in 1911, and the output in
creased to its greatest yield that
year.
Owing to labor troubles and espe-
cially. it is said, to the decline OF
trade in the countries affected by the
Balkan war. the mill shut down dur
ing part of 1912 and last year it
was not operated at all.
Figures show that the largest an
nual output of asbestos was in 1911.
the banner year of the Lowell com
pany. when 1904 tons we're valued
at sl19.925. In 1912 the output de.
clned to 4.4O3 tons and continued
to decline the following year.
BY these statistics it can readily
be seen that the principal output was
from Vermont. in fact about two
thirds OF the output come from this
state.
However. this industry will be re-
sumed this year. according to W. G.
Gallagher. president of the Lowell
company. who states that electric
power has been installed and the
plant enlarged. This work is practi-
cally completed.
One OF the handicaps preventing
still greater production in Vermont
has been poor facilities for shipping
the product. but this problem prom
ises to be solved. according TO Mr..
Gallaghers statement.
A railroad will be built to Lowell
either from Johnson or Morrisville
and the output. according to Mr.. Gal
lagher's statement. should be enor-
mously increased during the next
few years.
