How to Behave in a Theatre.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
In view OF complaints evoked by
the bad manners of some theatre
goers in its town, the Charleston
News and Courier recently offered
these admonitions:
"Don't be late in getting to the
Academy of Music.
Don't swear at the managers of
the theatre and insist upon pushing
forward to your seat, disturbing the
punctual people and displaying at
the same time your own bad man
ners
Don't 90 out between the acts.
Don't applaud every actor on the
stage, and don't insist that every
singer shall come back and do it all
over"
The News and Courier further sub
mits, among a few other sugges-
tions, that those who arrive ut the
theatre after the performance begins
ought to be- kept out in the lobby
until the close of the first act, and
will be kept out if the managers OF
theatres have any regard for the sue
cess of the performance or the pleas
ure and comfort of the audience.
To which the Columbia State adds
these "dOn'ts 81
Don't talk in the theatre for public
| consumption; what you say may be
very valuable, but apeople around
you are getting full value for their
money from the stage, and your Ell
tightening comments give them too
much for too little. Again, the ac-
tors may not appreciate the com
petition.
Don't applaud prematurely.
"Don't gnffaw orgiggle at par ghetto
periods. If it is necessary to do SO
or cry, cry.
Don't eat peanuts. The cracking
of the shells may cause misconception
on the part of the artists on the
stage, who may drop Madam But
terfy' and take up string on coon
| songs.
Don't forget that it is Just as
rude to disturb a singer on the stage
as a singer i'll a private parlor, ana
that the performer upon the stage
being more frequently an artist than
the one in the parlor, is the more
readily annoyed by a discordant
note in the audience.
These instructions appear to cover
the ground pretty we'll. We repro
duce them here because a relia bic
work upon The Etiquette OF the
Theatre may be lacking, or at least
not in general use. If any one here
after finds nuisance present in Char
lotte's Academy of Music shall plead
as an excuse that he didn't know
| how to behave in q theatre, he will
not be able to blame his ignorance

Breakers Ahead.

Charlotte Chronicle.
We believe the Chronicle was the
first paper in the State to sound the
note OF warning oil danger to the
party in case the extra session OF the
LEGISLATURE fastened q sumptuary
prohibition law upon tie people OF
North Carolina. Since then, il has
been sustained by some strong public
and private views. and it gives else
where the opinion OF some OF the
thoughtful papers CT the State. The
ballot is returning to the hands OF
the negro by the expiration OF the
grandfather clause" provision in
the election law; many of the younger
men OF the State are not considering
II q disgrace, as it was once. coIi-
sidered, tovote the Republican ticket;
there has been a change in the person
mel of the Republican leadership: the
Democratic party will have TO defend
its administration and there is more
of discomfort throughout the State
over the national situation than has
been known in the past. The Re-
publicans are aggressive, strong and
we'll organized and alert to take ad-
vantage OF every opening to drive in
| a wedge. The condition of affairs
this year peculiarly favors them.
The submission OF prohibitions to a
vote Of the people would rob them OF
all hope OF making capital out OF
that issue. To pass a prohibition
law at an extra session would divorce
thousands of Democrats from the
party. Can the Democratic members
OF the Legislature afford to take such
responsibility? We do not think
so. Let the people decide the matter
and all will be well.

Street Names in Henderson.

EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-As far as | have
observed it seems to be the plan in Hen
derson to name the streets after its
prominent men. This. think, is ar emf
nently just and fit system OF nomencla-
ture. 1t will net only serve to keep
alive the names OF those who have de-
served well of the town, but it will, if
consistently and fairly carried out, stim-
ulate the civic pride OF her present and
future citizens For while men should,
and the best of them do, deprecate noto-
riety. still, conscious as they are that
even the longest life is but a span, a mere
bubble on the onrushing river OF time,
and that their bodies must so soon go
down into the dust, they find comfort in
the thought that their names will not be
entombed with them but will abide with
posterity and be held in honor by it.
But discrimination and justice should
be used as to whose name should be thus
pernetuated. 1t should be those who
were foremost in making the town.
Otherwise the object would be defeated
and the street names would not be a
compendium of the town history as this
plan properly carried out would makeit.
And it is not only the rich who make
u town. Many Of them do their best to
unmake it. Nor does the making of n
town consist only, or even chiefly, in
extending its bounds or increasing its
population or its dollars, though that
is an important part. The true making
of town consists in making it better
as we'll as in making it larger. Many n
man who never in all his life owns
enough land to bury him in contributes
more to the true making OF place than
do others whose possessions stretch far
and wide.
Nor are the men the only makers OF a
place. Often the chief force making for
n higher life, a more moral, a more en-
lghtened, a more wholesomely refined
life, is some woman. What could be
more fit and appropriate than that the
name in full OF such a woman should
live in some residence street where trees
and flowers and refined homes reflect
the life of her for for whom the street
was named.
Meanwhile the name of the business
man OF enterprise and probity and OF
charity would we'll fit some mart of
trad, where men buy and sell and serve
the town along the lines where his activ-
tiles lay.
So might the street of churches be
named for some eminent divine who rose
above his fellows in zeal and force, and
the street of schools for the foremost ed
ucator, and so on. OF course this ideal
plan, like most ideal things, could not be
carried out in full, for it would not al
ways square with practical things, for
many streets are already named. But
believe, Mr.. Editor that you will agree
with me that the plan is good and should
be carried out. as far as practicable, not
only in Henderson but in our other
towns. Most of them are now just be-
ginning to grow. These as they expand,
finging streets about here and there,
could more easily carry out the. point
than the older places.

Prohibition by Legislation.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
The Greensboro Record says "the
prospects OF the passage of a State
prohibition measure by the special
session of the Legislature to convene
within a week are not so bright A.
they were n week ago and very likely
nothing will be done" We sincerely
hope that our contemporary prog
nosis is correct. We can conceive
OF no greater mistake, that the
Legislature could commit than to
arbitrarily put the State under pro
hibition. We all find occasion at
times to critieise the Democratic
party for acts OF legislation or exc
ecutive action yet if we are honest
with ourselves and the people this
cism is designed to be corrective or
admonitory, for all recognize the
= fact that the continued dominance
OF this party Is necessary To the we'll
being of the State. Any policy that
would in the slightest degree imperil
the supremacy OF tho party is there
fore to be deprecated and great
many sound Democrats would keenly

by legislative action. The cause has
made and is making great progress.
as is to be seen in its spread through
the agency Of local option, and
incline strongly to the opinion that
it would carry the State on n popular
vote. II this should be the result OF
an election on the subject, those who
voted against il would submit grace
fully and without heartburnings:
which would not be the case If snap
Judgment, as contemporary putsit,
were taken by the legislature. The
latter is not the Democratic way of
accomplishing "a result which could
be as effectively accomplished by an
other method or methods. and we
should under no circumstances for
get first principles. There is nothing
that tue Legislature could 80
wisely resist as the effort which will
be made TO induce il to foist prohibi-
ton upon the State instead OF secur-
ing it by recourse to the people at
the ballot box.
