"Bat you are to have Deacon Hemphill With you to-day and he will get wet aough without dashing cold water on him." The city police force is being heart ily commended on all sides for the ' splendid efficiency displayed In han dling the enormous crowds' here Thursday. That the day was passed without serious- accident to a single person Is marvelous and s due In large measure to the fine offices of 'the policemen. Both he moanted and foot officers wpre alert and allvo all during the day and especially dur ing the parade when the street over which the procession passed was so congested. The policemen from near by town that came in response to a reouest from the central committee did valiant service and to them is also due liberal praise for the day's record. ..' Those who assisted In receiving at the formal reception given at the Sel . wyn Thursday evening in honor of " th President were Mesdames John Van Landingham. State regent.

M'NINCH. i ' It Is generally conceded that the celebration has put tho climax on a series of nation-wide advertisements '' which have come to this city within ';. the past few years and which have so ".materially aaalsted In making known 'the ity to the ends of the United fitatea Charlotte hss became recog- nlsed more thart ever now as one of ! the. foremost cities of the 8outh and I ' the coming of the President here dur- ing the cejabratlon not only went a long ways in addtof emphasis to the Mecklenburg Declaration of Inde . pendence, but gave the city that ad - . vertlsement tyhlch only a visit from ; t the nation's Chief Executive can give any city. The Charlotte headline ap peared In all of the big dally papers of America and there Is no way In the "world of estimating to what extent his visit here will aid in the adver tisement of the Queen City of the Carolina. It Is said that 1,000 Charlotte peo pis were accorded the privilege of shaking hands with tha President V during the two' reception ha . held while in the city Thursday. PrOb . ably 00 of these were committeemen ; . and their wives, who were given the (.''privilege shortly after the arrival of tht Chief Executive, a special hour :t -. having been set apart for this pur pose. The remainder of the total es ' , tlmated nurrfber was given the oppor tunity at the public reception held at the 8lwyn Thursday night The ' President stood in the centre of the large parlor of the Selwyn during 1 ..these receptions and his aide was by r- his side.

Unfortunateiyfine com Ing of the President the day follow lne- so overwhelmingly eclipsed it in the public eye that but little has been said of it Had there been nothing overshadowing Immediately following this reception would have been the talk of the city for week. A rather curious co-Incidence hap pened at this reception which is worth noting. Present were Governor Kitch in, Mayor T. W. Hawkins and Col. A. L. Smith, all standing together. Gov ernor Kitchih as the guest of the evening. Mr. "Hawkins as mayor of th city and Colonel Smith in the capacity Of "announcer." "Where are you from?" asked Gov ernor Kitchin of Mayor Hawkins. "Halifax county." was the ready reply. This induced Governor Kitchin to remark that Halifax oounty was alsj his native county. Colonel Smith here Interjected with the Statement that he also nrst saw the light in Halifax.

He Is not a jungle roamer, and he breaks no bucking bronos. But a suave and kindly man is Uncle Bill; It is seldom that you find him chasing bears or lions fierce. And he never climbed up Sin Juan's biasing hill. When he takes his, censtitutlonaj, or golfs a little hit. Or on horseback trots a level mil or two, j Tou will never find a Big Stick lying easy to his hand. And hia voice is like unto Ihe turtle's coo. TVhcn the steak Is burned and bitter, or as raw as when It died, Tou will hardly find him shooting at th cook; But he smiles upon him sweotly, ss he leads him gently, hence. And h spanks him with the Roosevelt Message Book. . i And. when thing are working cranky, you don't hear him half a mil. Telling all the World that he is Bold and Bad; He just laughs liks It was pleasant, but he thinks a mighty Uiink -And you'd toetter not be he who made him mad. For he gets there all the same, doe eur genua L iiuv mi, And the thing he say are more than apt to go; - For his statements carry weightlness, la meanings more than one; - r And you'll los-if you are six frig him j as slow.
