  The 
  first 
  lots 
  sold 
  were 
  the 
  samples 
  exhibited 
  at 
  Boston. 
  

   Those 
  from 
  Durham 
  county, 
  which 
  cost 
  the 
  Board 
  of 
  Agri- 
  

   culture 
  $1.00, 
  were 
  knocked 
  down 
  at 
  $1.30; 
  the 
  samples 
  

   from 
  Winston 
  brought 
  $1.26; 
  from 
  Vance 
  county 
  $1.25, 
  and 
  

   those 
  from 
  Asheville 
  were 
  knocked 
  down 
  to 
  Gov. 
  Jarvis 
  at 
  

   $1.02. 
  The 
  break 
  was 
  large, 
  the 
  tobacco 
  very 
  fine, 
  and 
  the 
  

   prices 
  realized 
  were 
  high. 
  

  

  Gov. 
  .Jarvis 
  then 
  visited 
  the 
  splendid 
  Warehouse 
  of 
  Capt. 
  

   E. 
  J. 
  Parrish, 
  who 
  has 
  on 
  hand 
  a 
  vast 
  amount 
  of 
  the 
  

   weed, 
  much 
  of 
  it 
  of 
  the 
  finest 
  quality. 
  The 
  next 
  point 
  

   of 
  interest 
  was 
  tlie 
  Graded 
  School, 
  and, 
  immediately 
  oppo- 
  

   site, 
  Duke's 
  cigarette 
  factory, 
  where 
  some 
  300 
  operatives 
  are 
  

   employed 
  in 
  making 
  the 
  little 
  cigarettes. 
  The 
  Graded 
  School, 
  

   under 
  the 
  efticient 
  management 
  of 
  Prof. 
  Kennedy 
  and 
  his 
  

   accomplished 
  assistants, 
  is 
  certainly 
  a 
  credit 
  to 
  Durham 
  and 
  

   North 
  Carolina. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  admirable 
  institution. 
  Short 
  

   addresses 
  were 
  made 
  to 
  the 
  pupils 
  by 
  Gov. 
  Jarvis 
  and 
  Capt. 
  

   Ashe, 
  and 
  then 
  the 
  party 
  repaired 
  to 
  the 
  Hotel 
  Claiborn 
  for 
  

   further 
  treatment 
  under 
  the 
  skilful 
  hands 
  of 
  that 
  most 
  ex- 
  

   cellent 
  caterer 
  and 
  hotel 
  manager, 
  Mr. 
  Rutjes. 
  Across 
  the 
  

   way 
  towered 
  up 
  Mr. 
  Carr's 
  great 
  factory, 
  the 
  tobacco 
  works 
  

   of 
  " 
  Blackwell 
  Durham 
  Tubacco 
  Company," 
  whose 
  huge 
  

   proportions 
  exemplify 
  what 
  native 
  ability 
  can 
  do 
  in 
  the 
  

   way 
  of 
  accomplishing 
  success, 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  right 
  was 
  the 
  fac- 
  

   tory 
  of 
  the 
  Morris 
  & 
  Son 
  Company, 
  where 
  snufTas 
  well 
  as 
  

   smoking 
  tobacco 
  is 
  made. 
  But 
  turn 
  where 
  one 
  might, 
  he 
  

   would 
  see 
  evidences 
  of 
  thrift, 
  industry 
  and 
  enterprise, 
  and, 
  

   as 
  the 
  product 
  of 
  these, 
  he 
  would 
  find 
  evidences 
  of 
  large 
  

   fortunes 
  made 
  and 
  of 
  an 
  accumulation 
  of 
  wealth, 
  the 
  like 
  of 
  

   which 
  but 
  few 
  other 
  Southern 
  communities 
  of 
  equal 
  size 
  

   can 
  boast.
