Mr. Sam Browne was called for and
responded with a short and character
is:. c speech. He said the members
were Democrats because they believed
the principles of this party to be for
the best interests of the country. Like

A bit Diifcraceful Affair in Chicago T,aat
Night Hanna Also Has a, Tough Time.
Chicago, Nov. li Four eggs were
thrown at Wm. J. Bryan tonight, just
as he left the Central' Turner Hall,
.Milwaukee avenue, where he had con
cluded 1 his address. The eggs were
thrown by three or four young men,
one of; whom, John R. Myers, a sign
painter,, was placed under arrest. The
other men escaped. Mr. Bryan had
just passed through the door of the
building and was walking toward his
carrrige, when our eggs whizzed at
almost the same moment over his head
and sXruck in the crowd beyond which
was waiting to greet Mr. Bryan as he
leftjhe hall.
One egg, which lacked a great deal
of being fresh, struck Policeman Cul
kins squarely on the forehead and
streamed down his face. Culkini saw
the men who threw the eggs, and made
a rush for them. Myers was the only
man whom he could catch, the others
slipping away in the crowd. The hall
was surrounded by a large crowd, and
as soon as it. became known that eggs
had been thrown at Mr. Bryan, the
excitement was intense. A hundred
men made a rush for the prisoner, and
it was only by desperate efforts that
Culkins managed to hold on to his
prisoner. Several officers came to his
assistance and all the officers were
compelled to use their clubs before the
crowd would give ground and allow
Myers to be placed in the patrol
wagon.
When locked up at West North Ave
nue police station, Myers declared
positively that he had thrown no eggs
at Mr. Bryan, personally, and had no
intention whatever of bitting him. He
declared that in his anxiety to obtain
a good view of the candidate as he
left the hall, he had crowded close to
the carriage, and that the driver had
k struck -htin-with his whip in order to
Oborn stated ll&T bl 1jt,c'lL- nu 1 Llul ULti t0
where his friends were standing and
the promptly hurled the eggs at the
driver, and that just as they did so,
Mr. Bryan came through the doorway.
Myers declared that he was a Demo
crat and would never have thought of
throwing eggs at the candidate of hit
party. He .declined to give the names
of his companions, and could give no
explanation of why they had com to
the meeting carrying bad egas in their
pockets
A BAD NIGHT FOR MARK HANNA.
Chicago, -Nov. l.Mark Hanna

and cheers for Wm. J. Bryan, in the

Prospecting for a Silk 11111 Location.
Mr. G. G. Walker, a silk dealer of
New York, spent yesterday afternoon
in the city. He is on a prospecting

works. Oorresrondence of The Telegram.
High Point, Nov. 2. Mr. A. H.
Price of Salisbury, Republican elec-tor-at-large,
spoke here last night
from the Jarrell Hotel porch. His
speech was exclusively4; a tribute to
Mr. McKlnley and tie Q. O. P., with
the exception of the denunciations and
attacks imposed upon William J.
Bryan and the Democratic party.
He was incessantly interrupted by
hurrahs for Bryan and Simmons,
which mostly came from boys congre
gated on the outskirts of the audience.
Mr. Price said the two issues before
the people were "prosperity" and
Bryanism; the former wns evident
everywhere and the latt-r could hard
ly be defined. He thinks that if it had
not been for the "loyal" Democrats in
1896 Mr. Bryan would have bten
elected by an overwhelming majority.
Mr. Price is quite good at mimicing
and several times he "reproduced"
speeches made by the present Demo
cratic nominee for President in his
tour of this State in 1896. This added
to the amusement of his friends pres
ent. Mr. Robert Storey, of Fairvlew
Lodge, has purchased the Jordan
property in the Southern . part of town.
The plot contains seven acres and is a
desirable piece of real estate.
Letters have been sent to Senator

asking them to use their influence in
securing an appropriation sufdeieut to
erect a government building here.
Mr. William Rommell, of this place,
haa received letters telling him more
about the estate iaft. hirn by relatives
in Germany. He will probably get
1,000 marks.

GENERAL CARE'S EMPLOYEES.
They Write in a Very Forcible Way of His
Character as a Man and as an Employer.
To the Editor of the Telegram:
Mucb is being said and written about
the merits of the senatorial candidates.
A short time since a letter from some
of the former employes of General J.
S. Carr, in which we did not have an
opportunity to join, was published.
Having been in the services of Gen
eraldarr for twenty years or more,
next preceding his sale of Hhe Bull
factory, we desire to speak of his
worth as a man and his generous, hu-I
mahe and fair treatment as an em
ployer. We served as managers in the
various departments, and no better
feeling ever existed between employes,
from the least to the greatest, and em
ployer. Good wagea were paid, and
the treatment of even the humblest em
ployee was always so fair, eo humane,
and so just that a life-long friendship
for the head of that mammoth estab
lishment was implanted in the breast
of every one who worked therein.
General Carr i the truo and tried
friend of the working man under any
and all circumstances This letter is
written without the knowledge of Gen
eral Carr or any of his campaign
managers, but of our own motion and
in defence of that great and good man,
who is being unjustly and cruelly as
sailed. If every working man in North
Carolina knew him as we do, they
ould march to the poll3 in one solid
phalanx and vote for him for United
States Senator.

THEATRICAL CRITICISM
The Concord Standard is Disposed to Agrae
With Us That the Public Should be Left
Partly to Itself.
The Greensboro Telegram has a
very well timed editorial in Monday's
issue on the subject of "Theatrica
Criticism " It is moved to writing it,
probably," from-the fact very noticea
ble to readers of both the Greensboro
dallies that these journals placed very
opposite estimates on a late perform
ance in that city. One of the lessons
drawn is that criticisms of these per
formances are little more nor less
than how the play happens to strike
the writer unless he be really a trained
and competent critic. We observe to
our bewilderment that the writer him"
self sometimes gets unmercifully criti
cised by those who were less favora
bly impressed than himself and he is
donntd not up-to-date.
The idea seems to be with The Tele
gram, and we fully concur, that if
nothing unclean or demoralizing ap
pears it is well to emphasize the meri
torious parts and let the less meritori
ous parts go by, for it takes fine, large
opera houses fairly well filled, as a
rule, to secure the class that is with
out tame parts .
But The Te'egram's last point is
that which has annoyed us often, that
abominable way the slick advance
agents have of writing an ad. and
making it sound like the words of the
newspaper man. The Telegram puts
them under a peculiar, head line so
that those who understand the head
lines know them to be ads. It seems
to ua that this may not-be fully under
stood and we, long for a generally
adopted" way thai makes ads go as
ads, that the reliability of the paper
be not taxed . with the unscrupulous
imbellishments that the agent often
gives the object. When your scruples
make you draw back, the cheeky fel
low generally gives you to understand
that all the other papers do so and
that you are a champion crank.
But to the original idea, the news
paper man has no good way of know
ing what a performance is until he
sees it and it is then too late to help
paople save their money, if the play is
not good and it is also too late to help
them to a good entertainment.
Upon the whole, if you are optimis
tic you get good out of all and if pes
simistic you like none.
A Good Tobacco Season.
This is a splendid season for tobac
co and the growers are bringing quan
tities of the weed to the Greensboro
market. The warehousemen and deal
ers are encouraged at the amount of
tobacco being sold and the fanneW
generally are well pleased with the
prices received. 4 . -

A NOTE OF WARIHIIG SOUHD!
AN APPEAL TO ALL DEMOCRATS
The Republicans .Spending Money Liber
ally in Guilford, and Unless Democrats
Bestir Themselves the County May bo
Lost Numbers of New Negroes Hare
Registered The Senatorial Primary Has.
Absorbed the Party's Energy.
Zeb. . Vance used to say that MaU
hell couldn't beat a scared Democrat.''
If the party in Guilford county had
more of the fear which the great Com
moner liked to see move the people it
would be better off in the campaign
now growing so rapidly to a close.
The glorious victories of the past few
years have lulled Democrats to sleep
and today a spirit of lethargy is appa
rent all along the party lines.
On the other hand, the Republicans
are alive and active, taking advant
age of every opportunity afforded by
Democratic disaffection on account of
the Senatorial contest. Notwithstand
ing, the fact that the Republicans
claim to have no money this year, they
get all the cash they need when they
have any show of accomplishing any
thing. Prom the best of authority it
is learned that .they have received
$1,000 to use in this county, and from
all evidences they are spending it
freely.
Today Mr. A. M. Scales, chairman
of the Democratic County Executive
Committee, issued the following state
ment to all Democrats:
"Fellow Democrats of Greensboro
and Guilford county: I am no alarm
ist, but feel it my duty to speak to you
plainly as to the situation.
"The Rapublicans have plenty of
money and are working. They have
registered a large number of negroes
in Greensboro who did not vote in
August. Tney are making an active
fight for this county.
"On the other hand, Democrats are.
over-confident and think that one or
two men can run the campaign with
out help of any kind. Then, we have
allowed the Senatorial primary to ab-.
sorb almost, if not all, the party's en
ergy. 3"This is the condition. Now, I earn
estly warn Democrats that unless
work, and hard work, is done from
now on, and on election day, we cannot
hopefto see Guilford county remain in
the Democratic column. As chairman of
the Executive Committee, I earnestly
and urgently request all Democrats to
get to work at once.
"Yours sincerely,
"A. M. Scales,
"Chairman;"
Greensboro, Tov. 2nd.
