Statement That Real Produc-

After being forcibly elected from the
theatre In Raleigh, the production was
put on in Danville last night before
a representative audience, which was
not shocked and which applauded with
out being offended. The report which
came to The Timcs-Dispatch from its
correspondent stated that the attrac-
ton was no worse than others which
have appeared there, and that, accord
ing to the travelling manager, the show
had not been cut. There were many
women in the audience, and none left

CHAIRMAN BROWN
. G| \ S HIS VIEWS
Only Hope for Union in Man.
chester Is by Sending Origi-
nal Ordinance There.

Chairman Brown, Of the Manchester
Council Committee on Consolidation,
expressed the hope last night that If
the conference committee would re-
store the item for street improvement
as agreed upon by the committees that
the union would go through in his city.
1T seems that have been mis-
understood in what I said to several
men at the meeting of the Richmond
Board of Aldermen" he said. when
the amendment was proposed cutting
the street fund from 40 to 90 per cent,
I said thought that annexation would
be Killed in Manchester, but that even
as reduced, if the people Of Manches-
ter, showed any disposition to vote on
1t, believed our Council would adopt
the ordinance and so extend to them
that right. When the amendment was
proposed in the Richmond Board OF
Aldermen, | concluded that fully 80
Per cent of the voters of Manchester
would oppose the ordinance, and Isstill
think So Besides those who were
Originally opposed there are those
who claim that Richmond offered US
something and then withdrew it be-
fore We could either accept or reject
it-that there was string tied to the
offer.
THE fight might not have been so
strong II the committee had not orig
inally agreed on the 40 per cent; but
since they did it looks to many people
on my side of the river as If Rich
mond was not standing bysits Offer II
the conference committees succeed In
putting that provision back as 1t was
drawn, ! have every reason to hope
that our Council will {adopt tho ordi-
nance. and thinl, our people will then
see the advantages of going into the
union ~ have always believed tha'
the ordinance as amended would be
rejected In an election in Manchester
but ! dld say that ii the people stu
wanted to vote on it our Council woulc
