tiers Of the country for the last IL
months is of furnishing good en-
tertainment in the flesh and
making money for all concerned.
To me the most striking lem
onstration of success for the
Major Bowes beginners was the
business these footlight fledglings
did in comparison with stage
shows that cost more and en-
listed established talent of high
reputation.
For instance, one Of the most
expensive vaudeville shows booked
last season at the Fox Theater
made a miserable showing at the
box office. The stage stars
blamed the poor figures on the
screen cripple" which was a
part of a theater'S program.
AS against this a Major Bowes
unit playing a Baltimore theater
with precisely the same picture
on the screen came very, very
close to box office high record.
It seems to me that Major
BoweS here demonstrated there
exists q tremendous potential
audience for new acts and new
faces, but part from his own &C
t1vitieS. little effort is being made
to cater to these theater patrons
and provide this fresh material.
ALWAYS A GOOD SHOW
Indeed, I get a little impatient
with those in the theater who in
SiSt Major Bowes is lucky. He
had a great idea and he is milking
it to the limit"
I Concede the idea, but also
must admit-aS will others who
are honest-the Major hasn't sent
along one unit that couldn't de-
liver first class stage entertain
ment. Not perhaps as polished or
as SophiSticate as Broadway would
like, but with eager beginners of
talent, in fairly we'll balanced and
diversified routineS.
I have passed upon all of
the BoweS units that have played
the Earle and the Fox and there
was more than the desire to en-
courage youngsters in the APP
plauSe they managed to generate.
It is, then, a pleasure to learn
that he will continue his stage &C
tivitieS with his new sponsor. It
Is also pleasure to welcome the

that Major Bowes' own theater

has a darkened stage and has

TOBACCO EXPORT TO
CHINA IN BALANCE
Depends on Availability and Price of
1885 Crop, Says Commerce
Department Report

Washington, Oct. 2.-(APj - The
Commerce Department reported today
that price and availability of the 1896
flue crop would be determining fac
tors in the United States export leaf
tobacco trade with China in the COM
ing season.
1.-THE question as to when and
whether the United States may re-
gain any considerable portion of the
former export trade in leaf tobacco
with China depends upon the future
expansion of cigarette consumption, "
the department said in a report on
foreign tobacco trade.
Despite a rapid increase in Chi
nese production Of the bright flue-
cured tobacco grown from American
seed, tobacco grown in the United
States should continue to hold some
share of the demand for consumption
in medium and better classes of Gig
arettes.
Pointing to the possibility of in
creased consumption in China, the
department said the per capita con-
sumption of cigarettes in China was
now less than an eighth of that in
the United States.

Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.


Raleigh, Oct. 2.-The DerAocratic
campaign is gaining momentum daily
in North Carolina, especially since
the speeches by President Roosevelt
in Albany Tuesday night and in Pitts
burgh last night, Chairman j. Wal
lace Winborne, of the State Demo
cratic Executive Committee, said to-
day. The aggressive, fighting spirit
shown by the President in his first
campaign speeches is putting fresh
vigor and enthusiasm into the Demo
cratic workers here in North Caro-
lima and encouraging them to put
even more drive into their efforts,
Winborne said.
"The manner in which President
Roosevelt is carrying the fight to the
enemy instead of waiting for the
enemy to bring the fight to him, is
already proving of great help to us
and to the Democratic workers in
every section of the country" Chair
man Whit orne said. "This aggressive
ness on the part of the president and
the pep and enthusiasm he is putting
into his speeches, together with the
clarity and incisiveness with which he
is outlining the record and accom-
plishments of his administration, is
proving very effective. The manner
in which he pointed out that he is
still fighting for the same things for
