DUKE MILLIONS USED TO BUILD HIS HOME STATE Tobacco King Is Developing Cheap Power All Over Caro linas to Help Cotton Mills. AIDS YOUNG BUSINESS MEN Devotes Fund Toward Financing Any Embryonic Operator Who * Can Show Knowledge. CHARLOTTE, July s,—James B. Duke, tobacco king, is playing the role of godfather to North Carolina. To make his native State prosper ous he has spent $50,000,000 on power plants and a similar amount has gone to aid young business men establish cotton mills. Other States may scoff at Duke, but he is a prophet who is honored in his own country. A year or two ago Mr. Duke retired as president of the American Tobeooo Company. He maintained control of the British-American Tobacco Com pany, however, and to-day he domi nates the tobacco industries of the Old World; but just prior to laying down the reins of the American com pany Mr. Duke conceived the idea of \ placing North Carolina in the fore front of the cotton manufacturing States of the Union. While the cotton acreage of Ms na tive State was not nearly so great as that of other sister States yet he de termined that the Southern planter should find a market for his product without being forced to accept prices which are materially lessened by ex cessive freight rates demanded to land it in the New England mills. Rivals of New England. North and South Carolina were both likely places, in his opinion, for a chain of cotton mills as well equipped as those of New England. It is only a short haul from there to Norfolk and Newport News, where trans-Atlantic steamships touch going and coming, thus easily solving the problem of ex port facilities. Then, too, should the mills grow tn volume their owners could far out strip their New England competitors In bidding for the raw product from neighboring States for the same rea son that, with a lower freight rate to reckon with, they could pay the plant er and broker better prices Knowing every nook and corner of his native State by heart, Mr. Duke awoke to the realization that millions upon millions of horsepower in her many waterways was going to waste. Once harness these streams and erect power plants at central points and it would be an easy matter to generate and diffuse sufficient power to turn the spindles of every cotton mill in the two States, as well as to light every municipality, the homes and business places of those dwelling within their confines, and at the same time to supply the motive power for every street railway line in the two States. The result was cheap power and light for every county in North Caro lina. The demand for the product from the cotton plants soon became so compelling that within a few years the horsepower was doubled and then some. Millions for Young. Making Charlotte his central head quarters when not at the farm of his birth, near Durham, he let it be known that he was ready, willing and eager to help any and all deserving, ener getic and capable persons who destred ' to join hands with him in making the Old North State one of the foremost cotton manufacturing centers of the Union. The formal announcement was made that a fund of $50,000,000 was available for the establishment of cot ton mills at likely and well-selected points. The money would be forth coming at an instant’s notice, pro vided the person could convince those in charge of it that he had a thor ough knowledge of the business, was energetic, faithful and industrious and possessed sufficient monej- of his own to make it w-orth his while to strive for the success of the enterprise and stick to business. Scores of young men who grew up in the cotton mill business, but whose chances of owning a mill of their own were remote in the extreme, were quick to benefit by the offer of their native State's wealthiest son.

ATLANTA, GA., SUNDAY, JULY 6, 1913 EXPERT FINDS ATARIFF BOARD ALREADYINU.S. Dr. Baldwin Declares Department of Commerce Is Required to Make Investigations. NO OTHER BODY IS NEEDED Special Agents Both at Home and Abroad Gather All Facts That Bear on Trade. By VICTOR ELLKJTT. WASHINGTON, July s.—lnterest never seems to die in the vexed ques tion as to whether or not there should be a Federal tariff board for the collecting of information rela tive to all aspects of the industrial activities of the United States hav ing any effect whatsoever on the tar iff. Former President Taft was a strong supporter of the tariff board Idea and there are many members of both houses of Congress who believe that such a board is the surest waj' of solving tariff difficulties. Argu ments have rotated about this propo sition for several years. And all this time the Government has had a tariff board to all Intents and purposes, although it seems to have been In complete Ignorance of the fact. Dr. A. H. Baldwin, Chief of the Bureau of Foreign and Domes tic Commerce of the Department of Commerce, has discovered the tariff board. The Department of Commerce, says Dr. Baldwin, is a tariff board. The law which created the Department of Commerce and Labor gave It author!, ty to Initiate and conduct all such in vestigations as are proposed should he conducted by a specially desig nated tariff board. Direct Law on Subject. A clause of the law charges the Bureau of Labor, one of the sub sidiary offices of the Department of Labor which formerly was a part of the Department of Commerce and Labor, with the duty of ascertaining "at as early a date as possible and whenever industrial changes should make it essential, the cost of produc ing articles at the time dutiable In the United States, in leading coun tries where such articles are pro duced.” in a dozen other parts of the bill there are specific directions that the department shall do everything that the proposed and at one time ex tant tariff board is expected to do. A tariff board existed under the Taft administration, but determined opposition resulted in the board’s final dismissal. A significant fact connect ed with the activities of the tariff board is that when it began Its work the board applied to the Department of Commerce and Labor for experts. The Department of Commerce and Labor had been making examinations along the lines prescribed in the or ganic act and had a great deal of ma terial on hand. This material was of great assistance to the tariff board In making its investigations. When the act creating the Depart ment of Labor as an executive de partment of the Government was passed the greater part of this tariff and industrial work fell to the bu reaus included under the supervision of the Department of Commerce. The Bureau of Labor, however, still is conducting investigations. Agents Investigate. The Bureau of Foreign and. Dome stic Commerce "carries on the greater part of this work. It has agents all over the United States collecting data. These men go into the manu facturing districts and make a criti cal analysis of the state of affairs. So with all these figures In hand it Is possible to make the nicest calcula tions as to what effect changes in the tariff will have upon the industries. The Bureau of Foreign and Do mestic Commerce also sends agents abroad These men make the same general sort of study of foreign In dustrial conditions that are made In this country. Then It is easy to fig ure out how* much of the trade of American manufacturers would be taken away from them as the result of a lower tariff. These are in effect the functions of a tariff board, and as they are being performed by bureaus and depart ments already established, there is doubt in Dr. Baldwin’s mind as to the wisdom of constituting a tariff board in addition.

BATTLE OF LOVE ON FIELD - OF GETTYSBURG IS CLOSED; EACH SIDEHAILED AS VICTOR Martial Spirit of Old Soldiers of Both Blue and Gray Exceeded Only by Sincere Warmth of Affection for Their Former Foes. VETERANS BEAR HEAT WITH THEIR WARTIME FORTITUDE General Sickles, of Union Army, and General Young, of the Confederacy, Greeted by Warriors They Led and Fought at Scene of the Reunion. GETTYSBURG, PA., July s.—The tumult and the shunting died for the second time on Gettysburg, and the battlefield again has figured in world history. For no less memorable than the hos tile conflict of the armies of Lee and Meade in ’63 was the friendly meeting between the meager remnants of the same armies which, lasting four days, is at an end to-day. Voices have been raised in the name of peace and reconciliation during all the half century since Apoomatox, but they have al ways remained merely unrealised appeals—until this last week, the semi-centennial of the greatest battle of the greatest wc. ever fought between brothers. And now peace reigns, love reigns at last over the broad, roil ing stretches of Gettysburg, where for fifty years has hovered a recollection of crashing terror of sectional hatred, of thirst for blood. Affection of Veterans Sincere. The reunion of the veterans of the Union and of the Confed eracy has been the sincerest and most effective step ever taken for the reconciliation of the North and the South—this is so by com mon consent of the veterans themselves, of younger representatives of tho two sections, and of expressions which have come from over the nation. Yesterday it was proved so, when a pathetic but brave spec taele was staged. The white-haired men of the Union army ’were deployed, as nearly as could be calculated, in the positions they occupied the great third day of the battle at Bloody Angle. They stood there, proud in the forgetfulness of their years, oblivious of the terrific heat, oblivious of everything around them, with eyes seeing only the brave, strong day fifty years before, when they waited on the same spot for the enemy. The feeble gray army, also, was placed in battle ordea They, too, were exultant, eager, powerless to stifle the rebel yell that bubbled out of their souls. The command was given to charge. The rebel yell came sharp and clear. The gray army started toward the bine line. It* charge did not have the force and nerve that impelled it fifty years ago. Instead, many of the veterans stumbled in their course, some of them fell. The advancing line became ragged, where the younger veterans, eager, outdistanced more feeble comrades. But the spirit of ’63 was there. Clasp Hands at Bloody Angle. Years rolled back, and the echoes of cannonade, the sfghl-of the all-pervading smoke film, the choking scent of that smoke, the thrill of battle and of youth—all were revived. The gray army advanced to the Bloody Angle. The bine army braced itself for the shock, as they well knew how to do. The two lines came together. As they met, the rebel yell became a laugh, the tense faces of the blue veterans melted. Blue and gray clasped hands and were friends. The old men were not ashamed of their frank-arms that went out and around the shoulders of their enemies of fifty years ago—comrades now—nor of the tears. Nor were any of the thousands of spectators ashamed of the demonstration in which they joined impulsively. All that was spectacular. Yet it was not cxeeptJonrf In revealing the spirit that prompted the entire reunion. Since last Tuesday everywhere has been exhibited friendliness and recon ciliation. More than 50,0CX) veterans were present, sleeping to gether, tenting together on the old eamp ground, telling endless stories, pointing out spots here and there where they saw man die —but always smiling, always shaking hands, always jolly. G. A. R. Outnumbers U. C. V. Os those who attended the reunion of the two armies, Ifttle more than one-fourth were soldiers of the Confederacy. The others were G. A. R. men, who, with less distance to travel, natu rally were present in greater numbers. The trip was trying, with the heat and with little inevitable discomforts that the old men would not have noticed 50 years ago, but which now were fraught with danger. There was tragedy in the sight of the feeble veterans fighting vainly against beat and exhaustion. There was real tragedy when a dozen or more suc cumbed and died on the same field where they escaped shot and shell. The first two days of the reunion were almost unbearable with i their heat, and the suffering was great. But a cooling storm blew EXTRA PRICE FIVE CENTS.
