GEN. JULIAN S. CARR DEAD;
WAS FORMER COMMANDER
OF CONFEDERATE VETERANS

Of his office every day, walking Of,
ten from his office in the heart of
the business district to his home.
For a, man OF his age he was active
and energetic.
Surviving the deceased are three
children, c. M. and Austin FL. Carr,
both Of Durham, and Mrs. Fl. c..
Flowers, of Chicago. Several grand
children and numerous other rela-
tives also survive.
Returned After Success
Soon after the Civil war General
Carr left North Carolina for Little
Rock, Ark. There he made a. sue
cess Of the work he entered. While
he was visiting his old home he was
persuaded to return to North Caro-
lima and entered the tobacco manu-
featuring industry.
Few people outside of North Caro-
lima realized what General Carr had
meant to Durham. Free of heart,
possessing \ sympathetic nature and
a love for his community and the
people in it he was ever ready to
lend a helping hand to all worthy
causes.
He spent his money freely where
good Trinity college was brought
to Tdrham largely through his eff
forts and his gift Of the site now oc-
cupied by the college. Land for Ma
plewood cemetery, the old section,
was given by him to the city. He
was connected with practically ev-
cry enterprise Of any Importance
started in Durham.
General Carr never held political
offices, although he always had play
ed an active part in the political
campaigns.
Sold Tobacco Interests
In later years General Carr sold
his interest in the tobacco business,
which he had purchased for $4,000
and which had expanded enormous
ly under his guidance, for sum
id to be several millions. He then
turned his attention to the textile
industry, which at that time was be
ginning to come to the front in
North Carolina.
The Durham Hosiery Mills COM
pany was organized and from sin
gle factory in Durham it expanded
until it became the largest single
enterprise of it's kind in the world,
operating a chain of mills in North
Carolina. To the end he retained
his interest in this enterprise, being
aided by his sons and many men
whom he brought to the front as
successful mill executives.
In addition to the mills operated
under his guidance, General Carr
took an important part in the f1nan-
cial development Of Durham. At
the time of his death he was presi-
dent Of one Of it's largest banks and
it was said had taken an active part
in orga niznig all Of the banks OF
Durham, with but one or two excep-
lions.
