A LAURENS VISITOR
TELLS OF CHARLOTTE
Hoard Address of President Tuft IIlid
WHS Pleased Charlotte Queen
( it) of North Carolina?
Several Laurena people attendod
the Mecklenburg colebratlon In Char
lotte last week. One of them, upon
returning to tho city, being asked
abpul the visit said:
'? Come, and WUtCll Charlotte grow'
?this was the message thai came to
mo from my friend, to width was
added: 'The especial occasion I wish
you to enjoy is our annual COlobratloil
of the Mecklenburg Declaration of
Independence and tho visit of Pres
ident Taft, on the ?.'nth.'
"To this kindly invitation you may
bo sure I responded and in due time
was speeding 'over (he hills and far
away,' hound for tho queen city of
our twill sister stale. North Carolina.
And right well does this busy, bus
tling city deserve the title of 'queen';
with her broad streets, shaded every
where by grand oaks and elms, which,
meeting overhead, makes an arch
ing canopy of green, under which it
WOS 0 delight to walk; the grassy,
shady lawns of many lovely homes;
tho splendid business houses, among
them a twelve story 'sky-scraper';
grand electric cars dashing along
among fine horsos and automobiles
in quantity and variety; then last
and best of all the progressive, hos
pitablo Citizens, makes Charlotte a
really Ideal city.
"The I9tll was governor's day and
i ho coildil ions perfect ;
" 'That nameless splendor every
where.
Thai v. IUI exhilaration In the air.
Which makes the passers In the city
St feet
Congratulate each other as they moot.' I
"With an outpouring of homo
people and tin tupourlng of thousands
of labors the day I? gait auspicious
ly; alas! though, lor human calcula
tions), th? raill came. 'It would
take,' said a newspaper man, 'a cy
clone to slop it Charlotte celehralion
as gi???at as our Mecklenburg, which
is now an established event.' Tin?
speeches wore made, the cavalry, ar
tillery ami infantry 6f th? regular!
army as well as tho enthusiastic I
sigit seers stuck manfully lb thotr
job, as If unaware of tho weather,
"Wo saw 'Charlotte grow' oh the

President Tafl was riding: as it came
in froill of the home of the widow

long dead) the president rose in the
? .. l?ge and stood, with bead bared,
as it it were tho home of a queen.

"Tho trade review was magnificent,

ties in polities, with a fighting nu

community who are best known for
character and ability, Irespectlve of

j "From a leading Charlotte paper I
quote: 'Carolina people, who think
they know a true man from a mas
tpierador, when they look into his
eyes, titter a I dig licquu i ill a nco with
his life story, have made op their
minds that they like Win. II. Taft
thoroughly. What he said to them
was manly ami attractive; it was an
hour tilled with the spirit of genuine
good-fellowship and uplifting patriot
ism; tie- audience believed in the
speaker and he in the audience."
?''You are OUI' harinonizor' God
bless you,' Mis. JackSOU said when
presented to Mr, Toft. 'And over
all the white wings 01 peace brooded
tenderly.' May we never know of
civil strife again."
