Every inch of space on the stage was occupied by citizens of prominence. Mr. Craig, the first speaker, guaged the intelligent charac ter of his audience with rare good judgment and consequently limited to some extent his Temarks on the negro question. Some thought he did not better his cause, however, by devoting more time to the Philippines, as the same intelligence that decries Ahe mis ing of the negro ssue demands expan sion of the cotton 'market for Mecklen burg planters and manufacturers. That this was true was demonstrated while Senator Pritchard wa speaking for there was unstinted applause at fre quent intervals. He spoke of the stag nation in the business life of Charlotte during democratic hard times and in discussing the importance of a large per capita, circulation said legislation did not put wealth directly into a man' pocket but it did create conditions whioh would permit the acquirement of wealth Senator Pritchard got flowers tonight as usual.
