If the Queen-of Sheba had been liv ing and had come over to the good old State of North Carolina, and visit ed Charlotte the past three days, she would have had no cause to change her favorite expression "the half has not been told." And the half cannot be told now of the patriotism, the en terprise, the pluck and the thrill of the handiwork the citizens of that progressive city gave her sixty thous and visitors as they looked upon her dazzling splendor, more beautiful than any array Solomon in-the luxury , of his imagination could have dreamed of. Where and when since the omnipotent-hand of Jehovah sent suns, moons and stars, : words and systems of worlds, spinning like mighty hum ming;. tops through infinite space when 'and where, since the roseate hues of creation's dawn flushed the tree tops of Eden, and humanity's strange story began was there- ever such a land as our magnificent State given to any people. Or such a patriot ic people as Charlotteans given to any State? The spirit manifested by them was superb.- The beauty of tfie decor ations, and the uniqueness of all de tails in the displays in houses and pa rades, make the Imagination's Amer ican eagle's wings grow weary at the thought of flying over them, and lan guage reels, hump-shouldered and diz zy under the burden of a hopeless ef fort to depict it. Charlotte just simply out-Charlotted herself. That means volumes. I arrived there Wednesday evening about 11:30 And my eyes never beheld a more lovely, fascinating or enchant ing scene.; -Beautiful arches spanned the main thoroughfares," and "every street was an avenue of electric lights ahd the business houses were girted with them. It Iookeolike a necklace of diamonds, rubies and pearls about the beautiful heck of one of Char lotte's lovely maidens, and reached Its climax in a tiara high above Inde pendence Square. American-flags and bunting ever waved a joyous welcome. I haven't space to go into minute de tail, but speak of it in a general wayi It was a magnificent demonstration on the part of Charlotte's citizenry. So said all , who - were there. The pa rade, . showing historical scenes, hu morous climaxes, beautiful, artistic Ideas, and industrial growth and In genuity, was .one of the finest things of the kind ever seen in, the State. With both the President of therUnited States and the Governor of ..the State there hand; in hand, '. lending their presence to the celebration, it was v'glory ; enough for one day." It was tod bad 7 -that almost a cloudburst should have come along -with the oth er visitors and marred the festivities, as the parade was on its rounds. But i that could not be helped, and while many got wet. all took the ducking good humoredly, and went on with the enjoyment in a spirit of good-feeling. You cannot throw a, damper on the Hornet city.
