The entire .morning was spent in all aorta of ways. The merry-go-' round did Its full fhare of business, and so did the other things to attract ! the visitor and his loe change. One voting man cried. "Hit the coon three times for one dollar." end many took advantage of the .opportunity to win the money. No Huntersvllle negro could be prevailed upon to poke his lies through a hole In a canvas and alloTP- .would-be winners to the dollar to bnrl baseballs at his head, and so a Ptetesvllle negro was Imported.

CALDWELL. SPEAKER. ' The speaker of the day was Mr. 1,. C. Caldwell, of Btateaville. He ar " rived on the noon train. Judge F. I. Osborne, of Charlotte, presided and Introduced Mr. Caldwell. Judge Os borne expressed his very great pleas tire In being present He said that few years ago he had tried living la New York, but had found the call "' ' back, to old Mecklenburg too strong ' : to resist He was very happy In his . remarks, and was very complimentary ', to Mr, Caldwell. ' Mr. Caldwell at the very outset of ila remarks told some good Jokes, "and thus caught the attention of his audience, which grew mflre and more attentive as he proceeded. He had ': been Introduced to the audience as - native of Cabarrus. He said that v he was born in Mecklenburg, reared In Cabarrus, lived in Iredell, and had great love for the entire State. Mr. Caldwell spoke for about twenty ' Ave minutes and his subject waa -lberry.M, He said that liberty did Hot mean license. He made a strong flea for obedience to law. The United States was styled the best country " and the best governed cwuntry on the lac of the globe, but the trend to- . "ward lawlessness was deplored. Mr. Caldwell thought the respect for law ehould begin in the home. Every father, he declared. should know at ' night where his boy was. If the boy was under the parental roof he (bought all was well. In passing the speaker paid a splendid tribute to the told soldiers. FINE PICNIC ORATORS. " Tha apeaker did not make a regular set speech, but when he took hla seat the crowd -was hungry for more. He tails a Joke frequently, and he tells It well. At times he grows eloquent. In fact there are few speakers In North Carolina who are his superior as a picnic orator. Huntersvllle and v the surrounding community foel that tn Judge Osborne and Mr. Caldwell they had Ideal picnic speakers. They made short talks, but tht-se talks pleased the people Immensely. Tha Huntersvllle picnic has become an institution. The company that ' Iulls it off each year has not been chartered tinder the laws of the Btate to run the picnic, but, nevertheless, -.. the gentlemen composing the picnic association perform their duty most diligently, and each year one of the ...! ' best picnics In the vunty Is held here. In years gone by Dr. J. E. 8. Davidson, formerly of Huntersvllle, now of Charlotte, has been the lead ' lng spirit and to-day he, along -with Col, J. E.

Throughout the entire day boys Pftm Charlotte and Huntersvllle con tended for baseball honors. It Is said that the honors were Huntersville's for ths most part The Charlotte boys, as individuals, played star ball, but ths team work was bad. Various - and sundry scores were made In th various games played, but the Hunt ersvllle youngsters each time suc ceeded In making the most runs. One Charlotte boy of some ten years de clared that the -umpire robbed them, but no doubt the umpire was upright : and Just in making decisions. , tCb regular out and out baseball gams by tha league learns Hunters vllle and Davidson was pullled off at 4:J0."
