The goth of May,

To-day is the l01st anniversary of
the Meckienburg Declaration of Inde-
Dendcuce. Charlotte never saw such
sight 6s she witnessed one year ago
to-day. Here was never SO grand
civic disp ay in the o d North State,
as took place here that day, and re-
porters being here from all the princi-
pal cities, Charlotte was advertised
from one end of the American CONT
nent to the other, until there was no
one who did not hear of this celebra-
ton. This morning one year ago,
there was a Babel of sounds upon
these now quiet streets. The bells of
the city pealed forth their giaddcst
welcome to her visitors, cannon
belched forth thunder, bands of mu-
sic filed the streets with their airs,
flags ard bunting waved from nearly
all the honses in the principal part CT
the city; Independence Square was one
great flag; fesfoons dropped from the
fronts of stores and private residences,
and the streets were moving mass.
Bat who that was here has forgotten
that day with its magnificent pageant
ry, or ever will ? 1t was a grand day
for Charlotte, for MeckIenburg and for
North Carolina. Il was n raliying
around the principles OF ITS, and a
rekin"l;uG Of the fires upon the altar
OF patriotism. The patriotic uttera nct S
of Kerr, Vance and Johnston, of North
Caro- ina; Of Hendricks, OF Indiana; of
Bright and Polk, Of Tennessee; of
Walker of Virginia; Chamberlain, of
South Carolina, and others, will ever
be remembered by those who heard
them, and while to-day we shall have
little of that pageantry and glamour
Witnessed here a year ago, still the de.
monstrations which will be made, will
be very proper to the day and will
show that the memory of the event
which this day commentaries is still
dear to the hearts of the descendants

but kind words and kind actions are sure
to turn up something some day for the
