GREENSBORO BUDGET
THE CREAM OF THE WEEKS NEWS
FROM THE CITY OF FLOWERS.
Speaking of the County Candidates, DEM
oeratic, Republican and Third Party
Greensboro's Misunderstanding Interests.
Special Correspondence Of the Sentinel.
GREENSBORO, Oct ia tidal wave of
candidates struck Greensboro to-day The
nominees of all three parties for the Senate
spoke in the Court House this p. NJ DIR.
Nerius Mendenhall the "Third Party"
candidate opened the discussion. Mr. J. s.
Murrow the Republican nominee followed
and Colonel Morehead came in on the home
stretch. Mr.. Murrow ignored the Prohibi-
ton element and busled himself mostly with
Colonel Morehead. The Colonel in turn
left Mr.. Murrow in the cold and addressed
himself to the ''Third Party" issue. He
put the question in an entirely new light
and got DIR. Mendenhall to virtually admit
that since Prohibition could not prevail
now it was a mere question of high license
or free liquor and that he was high license
man. The Colonel made regular "Zeb
Vance" speech, and several men said it
was the most mastery and powerful piece
Of oratory they ever heard. I heard one
Prohibitionist say he would have to vote
the Democratic ticket after that speech.
The candidates for the House will exchange
shots to night.
MANUFACTURING.
1t will likely be matter of surprise to a
great many people in Greensboro to know
what an extensive business is done in the
manufacture of tobacco here in town where
so little pretension is made in that direction.
went TO j. L. Kings immense brick facto-
~ this morning in company with Mr.. Ern-
est Beard who is Boss of the Prize Room
and who kindly showed me around. The
inside of this factory is a young world in
the business stagnation which is so per-
sistently holding on all over town. Here
everything is rush and animation, and yet
I was assured that there was less work be-
ing done now than at any time in several
months. There are one hundred hands en-
ployed steadily, with occasional reinforce
ments as emergencies may demand. The
daily shipments will average fifty boxes,
and the business is now at low water mark.
Mr.. J. w. Winfree the "Boss Man" has the
reputation of being the best manufacturer in
y
about the factory taking haul here and
there at everything, you'd think he knew
his business.
The only fuel used by the mammoth
double boiler is saw dust brought from
MendenhalPs factory close by and costs 81
per week. This is carrying out the princi-
Pile of utility to nicely. Kings factory
is 150x60 and is four stories high, and when

Now Greensboro is not Utopia Il
fact it has the reputation of being SLOW

years ago there was but one tobacco factory
in Greensboro and that was an insignifcan
one and when this fact is compared with
