MECKLENBURC DAY.
The Tar Heels of Savan-
nah Will Celebrate.
Governor Aycock and Other North
CaroIinians Invited to Annual
Banquet on May goth in
Georgia City.

The anniversary of the signing of
the Mecklenburg Declaration of In
dependence will be celebrated by the
North Carolina Society of Savannah,
Ca, on the evening of May goth. A
banquet will be given at the De Soto
hotel in that city, and a number of
distinguished North Carolinians have
been invited to be present and respond
to toasts.
Governor Aycock was asked to re-
spond 10 the toast, 1.-THE Old North
State" but on account of previous
engagement he was obliged to decline
the invitation. General Julian :.
Carr, Mr.. Josephus Daniels, Col. A.
NJ. Waddell and others have been in
vlted to respond to toasts. Governor
Terrell, of Georgia, Hon. Henry G..
Turner, of the Georgia Supreme court,
and Hon. Hoke Smith, Secretary of
the Interior during President Cleve-
lands last administration. will be
among the speakers at the banquet.
Judge Turner and Mr.. Smith are both
natives of North Carolina.
The North Carolina Society was or
ganized in Savannah about four
months ago and has membership of
about one hundred and fifteen. The
membership is composed of the most
prominent and wealthy citizens of Sa-
vannah, who are natives of the Old
North State. Mr.. j. p. Williams,
president of the society," is native
of Wayne county. He has resided in
Savannah for nearly a quarter of a
century, and is perhaps the leading
naval stores factor in the world. He
is also president of the Georgia, Flori-
IL
nected with many of the largest
financial institutions in the State of
Georgia.
Over two hundred invitations have
been sent out for the banquet on May
Goth, and it is estimated that covers
will be laid for nearly three hundred
persons. An interesting programme
Is now being prepared for the occa-
sion, and the North Carolinians in
Savannah are looking forward to a
most delightful evening. DR.. w. E.
Fitch, the historian of the society, is
preparing a history of the Mecklen-
burg Declaration, which will be read
at the anniversary celebration The
banquet hall will be decorated with
North Carolina flags and the orches-
ira will render Carolina" and 1.-THE
Old North State Forever
Mr.. Roscoe c.. Mitchell, of the edi-
torial staff of the Savannah Morning
News, who is secretary of the North
Carolina Society, was in Raleigh yes
terday, and called on Governor Ay-
cock and urged the chief executive to
reconsider his decision and accept
the invitation, but on account of the
fact that Governor Aycock has a
previous engagement in Maxton on
that date he was obliged to decline
the invitation. He has written a
letter to the president of the society
expressing his regrets.

The presidents message, which we
print today is only another illustration
of the timeliness of the evening news
paper. This ape printed all the
speeches and letters of acceptance in
advance of the morning papers, and
now we hand you the message fifteen
hours earlier than you would get it.
The above is from the Raleigh Times
of Tuesday afternoon. 1t is true that
the afternoon papers had a first whach
at the presidents message. They pub
lishei extracts from it on the after
oon of the day on which it was sent
to congress. The morning papers, that
is, the progressive ones like The Mes
senger, published the message in full
the next morning. The Raleigh Times
says it's printing the presidents mes
sage the day it was delivered lis only
mother illustration of the timeliness Of
the evening Paper" Let's look into
this matter. The Raleigh Times On the
evening of the delivering of The pres
dents message, published about five
and a half columns of the document.
The Messenger On the following morn
ing published the document in full,
making nearly eighteen columns. Had
we published il in the type and style
as did The Times it would have taken
about twenty-five columns of this pa
ger.
With ali due respect to The Times,
wherein is the advantage of the after
noon over the morning paper? One
gives you a synopsis of the document
and the other gives o h full tex of
the paper.
And while we are on this subject we
would like to call to the attention of
our readers the fact that The Messenger
is the only newspaper in eastern North
Carolina n which such public docu-
ments "a be found printed in full the
day after their presentation.
1t is lot our habit to boast of what
we do in the way of providing ouI
readers with the earliest and the best
news. but we mir it will not be amiss
in this case to call attention to the fact
that The Messenger was the only news
paper east of the capitol which "
its readers the full text of the presi-
dents message the morning after il
was sent To congress. Nor is this the
first time The Messenger has been tc
the front in such matters. 1t is on,
rule always to give our readers IN,
very best news at the earliest O
nifty.

It is a mistake to suppose that al.

OF them are not thirty yet.
Thus says an exchange whose editor
seems to know what he IS writing
about. The truth is the tremendous vote
given Mr.. Roosevelt was due largely
to the young men of the nation-to
that class Of our voters who had not
reached the age which entitled them
to De senators or ever members OF the
house of representatives. There Is no
doubt about it, Mr.. Roosevelt's greatest
popularity is among the young men Ut
the nation. They like his vigor and his
strenuosity even IL at times it goes be-
yond the limits of the constitution.
