Any story about Durham would be incomplete without mention of the notable contribution which the Negro race has made to the industrial, commercial and civic development of the community. The progress the race has made here has been truly amazing. Under the leadership of E. R. Merrick, and later, C. C. Spaulding and their associates, Durham's colored people have established industries, insurance companies, banks and other commercial businesses which would be creditable to any city. The labor which they furnish the city's industrial plants is intelligent and dependable. The high type of leaders among the colored people here has made Durham a conspicuous outpost in the advancement of Negro civilization.
One of the finest things about the founders of Durham is that mate- rial prosperity merely opened to them avenues of service to mankind. It has been said that more philanthropists have been produced in Dur- ham than in any other city of the South. Watts Hospital, of 210 beds. was a gift to the city and county by Mr. George W. Watts. Lincoln Hos- pital, of 108 beds, is largely the gift of Mr. Benjamin N. Duke. Duke University is a living memorial to Mr. Washington Duke and his two sons, Benjamin N. Duke and James Buchanan Duke. Other philanthro- pists have remembered the city from time to time in ways which help in making Durham a good place in which to live and work.
Durham is today the fourth city in North Carolina in point of popu- lation, having 54,000 inhabitants, and being second in industrial pay- rolls, and second in importance in the value of its manufactured products. It is far in the lead in its educational facilities, having an unexcelled pub- lic school system and Duke University within its corporate limits, and having within a radius of a few miles the University of North Carolina. Wake Forest College, Meredith College, North Carolina State College, Peace Institute, St. Mary's, and the Southern Conservatory of Music.

The colored people have in Durham, in addition to excellent public schools for their race, the North Carolina College for Negroes, the only college of liberal arts for Negroes supported by taxation in the Southern States.

INTRODUCTION
All these things have been accomplished by people not especially favored by nature, but who by their determination, unconquerable will, tireless effort, and by their faith in mankind and in this community, have created a city which proudly takes its position as one of the repres- entative cities of the new South and of America.

SOMETHING NEW! DUSTLESS COAL
We have installed the most modern equipment, which facilitates the treating of coal so as to render it absolutely dustless. The coal is sprayed, on our yard, with a harmless chemical which entirely diminishes the dust content; but does not in any way affect the burning quality of the coal.
Use Dustless Coal --- It Costs No More
