Ex-Governor Ay cock Hand somely Introduced by Mr, John McRae Governor Ay- cock is Speaking at This Hour, Since Wednesday, when the first “Man with the hoe," came to town until today when there are hundreds of them here, there has been an at- mosidiere of welcome throughout the city. The coming of the farmers on any occasion gives an impetus to busi ness, and things in general. The compelling power today is that great son of Carolina—Charles B. Ay cock, ex-governor of the state, and one of the most gifted orators in the south Governor Aycock and the farmers all-the-time friends, so when asked to come and speak to Mecklenburg farmers at Lakewood today, he wired two short but potent words; •Til come.’’ Last Day of Picnic. The third and last day of the big farmers’ picnic at Lakewood Park was marked by' an attendance that far exceeded that of the two pre vious days, while ideal weather help ed to make it a day long to be re membered by all who attended.

Aug. 11.—Caught and kill ed in the trap he set for others is be lieved to have been the fate of the “Black Hander” who exploded a bomb in a building occupied by many sleep ing families on “Dago Hill” early to- dav.

It was about 2 o’clock when Mr. John McRae, one of the finest ora tors of the Charlotte Bar Association performed the happy duty assigned him. Mr. McRas’s Speech. Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle men;— The patriotic achievements of him who will now speak to you are known around every North Carolina fireside. From his y’outh up he has preached the gospel of education, good citizen ship and democracy. From the days of the reconstruction to the year 1900 the negro vote was a disturbing element in politics. Gover nor Aycock and the other leaders of the state held high council and decid ed that the elimination of this vote would be best for the white man and best for the black man. The consti tutional amendment of 1900 was adopted, and subsequent political his tory' has shown hds shown the wisdom of its adoption. In the year 1900, Mr. Aycock was elected governor. At that time North Carolina, excepting South Carolina, stood at the bottom in education. The public school funds had been squan dered in the days of reconstruction and the schools had not recovered from the the calamity of civil war. The negro question touches our life at numerous points, and this was one of the points of conflict. Many opposed public education because you could not educate the white child without edu cating the black child. Strong men faultered and fumbled with the ques tion. While the constitution provides that not less than 4 months school term should be held in every school district, in fact the average term was less than two months. In every town and hamlet Governor Aycock’s voice was heard crying aloud for the edu cation of the youth, the state’s great est resource. Under his inspiring lead- (Continued on Page Two.)
