audience that packed Leader Hall, in
Manchester. to overfiowing last night
Tho senator came down in the even
inc from Powhatan county. where he
made an address yesterday. He went 10
the residence of Mr.. Ben. r.. owen, Jr..
at Buck Hill, and took supper. Mr. owen
accompanied the Senator to the hall.
The excellent band OF music from The
Southern Railway shops was on hand be-
fore S o'clock, and while the crowd was
gathering and during the evening render
cd popular selections.
The Junior order Of United American
Mechanics had engaged LeldeF Hall i0r
the week for the purposes OF q iair. 10
was due TO the generosity of those in
charge Of the fair that the Democrats
secured the use Of the hall. The under
standing was that the speaking should
cease about $3.50 o'clock, Ina order that
there might be time left for the Juniors
fair programme TO be carried out.
THE SEANTOR INTERRU PIED.
Senator Daniel talked longer than $3.50
o'clock. soon after the limit of the time
had expired the speaker was interrupted
bv demonstrations i'm the rear of the
senator. Major Daniel did not realize that
he had been talking so long. At the sec
ond interruption he glanced az bis watch
and very quickly concluded his remarks.
TO the credit Of the Juniors it can be
said they were in no way responsible
for the disagreeable feature Of the meet
ing. II appears that thoughtless young
men who came 20 attend the fair ana
not to hear the Senator make his ad-
ON him. The Juniors regretted the occur
renee as did all other grown people pres
ont.
