SMALL MONDAY COURT.
Only A Few Trivial Cases Heard in
Recorder's Court.
'Squire S. H. Hilton again presided
over the session of the city court this
morning in the absence of Recorder
Shannonhouse.
For Monday morning the docket was
an unusually small one. The most im
portant case heard was a charge of
theft against Zack Edwards. It was
charged in the warrant that Edwards
carried away a wheel, the property of
W. J. H. Weddington. Probable cause
was shown and Edwards was bound
over in a bond of $50 to the February
term of the Criminal Court.
Robert Burton , and Tom Buchanan,
two negroes, engaged in a fight Sat
urday afternoon, Buchanan claimed
that Burton owed him money and had
failed to settle with him. Because of
this, the two men came to blows. Each
was fined $5 for their scrop.
Jim Frazier, a hackman, took on too
much liquor last night and, as the con
sequence, tumbled out of his hack. Of
ficer Merritt was close by and wit
nessed the fall. He arrested Frazier
and this morning the negro was made
to pay $2.50 and the costs.
Sam Wallace and his wife, Mary
Wallace, were before the court, charg
ed with a disturbance. Wallace claimed
that it was only a little fireside trouble
and he was adverse to airing his home
troubles. He declared that everything
connected with the alleged disturbance
took place in his home and therefore
he was not guilty. Owing to the ab
sence of the prosecuting witness, Ger
trude Harris .the case was continued.
There were several cases of drunks
but in each of these the guilty party
forfeited his bond and did not appear
to answer the charge.
EMANCIPATION DAY.
A Large Number of Negroes Attend
Exercises At The Court House.
Several hundred negroes assembled
at the court house this afternoon, the
occasion being the pelebration of
Emancipation Day which is, according
to custom, observed in Charlotte
every New Year's day. Dr. A. A.
Wyche, a prominent colored physician
of the city presided over the meeting.
The address of the occasion was made
by E. Fitz Frederick, an attorney.
Music was furnished by the Hayden
Choral Society. On former celebrations
it has been the custom to make a de
monstration, but this year it was de
cided to simply meet at the court house
where all might attend and hear the
meaning of the occasion defined.
FIRE LAST NIGHT.
Residence Almost Totally Destroyed
Household Furniture Burned.
The residence at No. 808 North Pop
lar street was almost totally destroyed
by fire early this morning. The house
was owned by Mrs. Laura B. David
son and occupied by Mr. William A.
Clanton, a flagman on the Southern
railway. His household furniture also
went up in the flames. Another house
adjoining, occupied by Mr. E. M. Wil
liams, a substitute letter carrier,
caught but very little damaged.

tA HANDSOME TRIBUTE.
Mr.
Wittkowsky's Introduction
of
. of Governor R. B. Glenn.
; Governor Glenn has, on more than
one occasion since Saturday, spoken
of the handsome tribute paid him by
Mr. S. Wittkowsky, who introduced
him to the farmers; of Mecklenburg
at the meeting in the Academy Satur
day afternoon. -
Mr. Wittkowsky was at his best
and his introductory remarks are well
worth reading. They follow
Mr. President of the Mecklenburg
Cotton Association,' Ladles and Gentle
men: During the three score and ten years
of my life there have been assigned to
me, through the kind partiality of my
fellow citizens, the performance of
many pleasant duties, whose memory
will ever remain as "green spots" in
the otherwise barren oasis of life's
journey but it has remained for you
gentlemen of the Mecklenburg Cotton
Association this day to fill the meas
ure of happiness in assigning to me
the pleasant, the delightful duty of
introducing no, not introducing as
our honored Governor needs no intro
duction to a Mecklenburg audience
but to perform the pleasant, though
not perfunctory ceremony of announc
ing His Excellency. . .,.
My friends, I venture to assert that
at no period of this country's history
have the people of these United States
so much cause for -rejoicing and
thanksgiving to Almighty God, for the
blessings they enjoy. -We are at peace
at home, and with all the world pa
triotism and loyalty to the Government
is the "shibboleth" in every part of
the country Prosperity i& every
where beyond the fondest hopes of the
most sanguine. The farmer during the'
70's and 80's and a good part of the
90's, struggled, for existence, and it
seemed that the top ;rail was on the
bottom and there to stay, but, thanks
be to the giver of all good, the farmer
is on top, and if you gentlemen will
be true to your assertions and follow
the wise leadership you have observed
up to now; eschew partisan politics,
you will remain on top verily, it
seems that "The stone . which the
'bears' ? i long rejected, has become
the heat of the chorner."
While .here is rejoicing and plenty
throughout all this land, we in North
Carolina have special cause for rejoic
ing, because we not only share in com
mon with our fellow citizens in the
prosperity, but we have the addition
al cause of rejoicing i being blest
with a Governor, who is honest, up
right, patriotic, conscientious, fair and
impartial in the performance of his
multifarious" duties-who realizes the
true import of his oath of office
"to be the Governor of all the people
of this great Commonwealth," who has
shed lustre on our good old State
where he has gone, whether North,
South, East or West he has ever re
flected credit on his State he has on
all suitable occasions made known to
the world the greatness" of our State,
its resources, and our people and fur
thermore, is trying to' lift from us as
far in his power- lies the stigma of
being, the second State,' "in illiteracy"
In this country.
And I trust you will pardon me for
relating a case in point in the year
1880. I visited the old country, and,
while there, met with several Ameri
can tourists, and, as was but natural,
a general introduction : took place;
.hen I was introduced to a gentleman
from the West, as hailing from North
Carolina, the gentleman, while reach
ing out his hand, hung his head in
deep meditation, which I soon learned
was, that in his mind's eye he scanned
the map of the United States to find
in what part of it North Carolina was
located. Presently, he raised his head,
his eyes sparkling and with an ex
pression on his face of "Eureka," as
much to say (I have found the great
problem) and with an extra squeeze
i the hand said, "Oh," yes it is in
Asheville!" North Carolina to him
was in Asheville. Asheville was then
wider known than North Carolina
but I am sure that, were J introduced
to that same gentleman today, as of
North Carolina, he woutdvsay at once,
"You must have a great State." You
have a great Governor." I heard him
speak and his statements as to the
greatness of your State and I am de
lighted to meet a citizen of that
State."
And, my. friends, it can hardly be

otherwise with our genial Governor.
( I heard from his own lips the story of
j how his brave and honored father
gave up nis .me in aeiense oi nis
country and how his ood angelic
mother struggled with poverty and a
lacerated heart at having lost the
bread winner, to give her children that
physical, mental, moral and religious
training which would make them good
citizens- and that she has succeeded,
as to their physical training I point
you to the 250 pounds avordupois of
His Excellency at to his moral train
ing I point to the fact that he has
risen to be the first citizen of two mil
lion people.
But, my friends, I have come to the
point of realizing that there is in this
life no sweet without its bitter; pleas
ant as is 'the duty assigned me, I am
confronted with the, fact that it . is
hard for me to frame sentences eulo
gistic of our Governor, whose whole
life is a eulogy one might as well
attempt to "paint the lily or refine
pure gold," as to aempt to find sen
tences fitting the occasion, but, my
fellow citizens, I will say that which,
in my humble opinion, is the highest
enconium (and in which I am sure
I but echo your sentiments) when I
say that I will now introduce one who
has, up to date, attained the highest
.standard of a public servant, in this
that in his official capacity he has
risen to the lofty night above "the
partisan" that up to date he has striv
en to be the Governor of all the peo
ple regardless of party, race, creed or
color and as such I now introduce
the Honorable R. B. Glenn, our honor
ed Governor.
