WELCOME WAS BOUNDLESS Everywhere the Nation's Chief Execu tive "Was the Recipient of Typical Southern ' Hospitality*-Happy in His Speeches-Well Up on Local History-Greeted With Enthusiasm by Enormous Crowds. The splendid Southern tour bf President Roosevelt; hcg?i? with his visit to Richmond on Wednesday; Thousands upon thousands of patri otic citizens poured our. at the capital city of the Old Dominion to do hom age by their presence to the nation's first citizen. No printed account can do justice to the enthusiastic recep tion accoi'ded the distinguished guests Df the ctiy and thc Slate. Address ing the tremendous throng present, Mr. Roosevelt, among many tactful, patriotic and tlulling things, said: "I trust I need hardly say how great is my pleasure at speaking in this historic capital of your historic State; the State than which no other has contributed ? larger proportion to.thc leadership of the nation; for on the honor roll of those American worthies whose greatness i? not only for the age, but for ali time, not only for one nation for ali the world, on this honor roll Virginia's name stands above all others. And in greeting all of you, I know that no THEODORE ROOSEVELT. one wiU.;gradge:;;^8?yihg;-a. special erans of. the civil'war; ? man would, indee'd, be but a poor American* who could without a thrill witileSs the way in which,' in eily after city, in the North as well as in the* South, on every public ntf?nskm. the men who wore the blue and the men who wore the gray now march und stand shoulder to show)der giving tangible . proof that Uti -arc all now "in fact as well as in name a reunited people, a people infinitely richer because ol'the priceless memories left to all Amer icans by you men who fought in the great Avar. L*ot Memorial Day I spoke in Brooklyn nt tli? Unveiling of the statue of a Northern general, under the auspices of thc Grand Army of the Republic, and that great audience cheered every allusion to the valor and self-devotion of 1 he men who followed Lee as heartily as they cheered every alusi?n to the valor and self-devotion of the men who followed Grant. Roosevelt in Raleigh: Raleigh, N; G\, Special.-It was Roosevelt Day in Raleigh and what is said to he the greatest number of people ever brought together in North Carolina did the President honor with true Tar Heel heartiness. This city had to face a situation brought about by the sudden death of Gover nor Glenn's brother, but did it clever ly and well. The features of the day wer? the wonderful weather, til ?ntense interest, good order and pa triotism of the crowds, the Presidents personality, his attentions to Confed erate soldiers, and the boldness of his speech, iii which he declared for complete governmental control of railways. His character and his talk were such as to appeal to North Car olinians as much as to any people oh ' earth, for the)' dearly love a mau who does- things and they were swift and sure to recognize in the President one of their own kind of men. Here Mr. Roosevelt dwelt at length on the great problems of the day. Hc spoke of the Appalachian Park, and discussed railway rate legislation in a conservative, but vigorous way. In a way, in fact, to show that he means to push some definite measure. Great Crowds Everywhere. Leaving Raleigh, the Presidential party made short stops at Durham, Greensboro, High Point. Salisbury, Concord and other places, where the people were out* in grant numbers .to greet them. At Charlotte the party was taken to Yance Park; where twenty thousand people had assem bled to see and hear Mr. Roosevelt. On being introduced he said in part: Spoke at Charlotte. "Mr. Mayor, Mr. President, and you, my#fellow-citizens, men and wo men of North Carolina: 111 have enjoyed more than! can say passing through the great Stale to day. I entered your borders a pretty good American, and I leave Hiern a better American, and 1 have rejoiced in the symptoms oE your abounding material prosperity. 1 am herc ia a great center of cotton manufacture. Within a radius of a hundred miles of this city, perhaps half of the cotton manufacturing in the United States is done. I realize to the full, as does every good citizen, that there must be a foundation of material prosperity upon which to hui ld Jiu? welfare of State or UR lion ! but 1 rea li zs ni so, a? does every gom? tfel Wfttetla! . prosperity-material well-being;-can never be anything but the foundation. It is the indispensable foundation, but if we clo not raise upon it the super structure of a higher citizenship, then we fail in bringing this to the level to which it shall arid will he" brought. (Applause). And so, though 1 con gratulate you upon what you have done in the way of material growth. I congratulate you eVori more1 upon the great historic memories of your State. It is not so very far. from here that the Mecklenburg Declaration o? Inde pendence was made (applause)-the declaration that pointed out tho path on which the thirteen* ?i?il?d Colonies trod a lew months later. "As I got off the train here, I was greeted by one citizen of North Caro line (and I know that .Heitli?r the Govciiibi', Hie Mayor, nor the Senators will blame me for what I am going to say) whose greeting pleaded and touched i?ie more than the greeting of any man could have touched me. I was greeted by the wid?w' hf Stone wall Jac?taoii (appieause). And we of this united country have a right to challenge as a part of the heritage of honor and glory of each American the reunion of the people-^-Amerie&ns who -fought hi the Civil War^wheth er tli?y W?re the jillie or whether they wore the gray. (Applause). The valor shown alike by the men of the North and the . men of the South as they battled for the right, as God gave them to aee tlie tight, IF) HOW part of what we, all of ns, keep with pride; It was my .goori fortune td ap point IO West "Point the grandson of Stonewall Jackson. (Applause). "Here, as I came up your streets, I saw a monument rained, to; fi f?jlow soldiev of miric w'ii'd Ml iii the Span ish war at Santiago-to Shipp, of I North Carolina. (Applause). The ! morning of the fight, he and I took breakfast together. It wasn't much j of a breakfast, but- it the ? only ! breakfast, that Wr\? going, arid we tvere glad to get it-. The hight b?fore, [ I had, iio supper; arid lie Rna his comrades g?V? me out of the very small amount that they had a sand wich. In the morning they had no. material for breakfast but by that time my things had ?orne np and I shared my breakfast i'lth them. That was at dawn; . B'ef?r? rioprij one of I them was killed; aild tb? Other (as we theil though) fatally wounded. "And now there are here men who fought in the great Avar. We who went in in '9S had the opportunity to fight only in a small war. and all that Ave claim is that we hope Ave shoAved a spirit not entirely Unworthy of men who f?tfed tile mighty ?hld terrible days from '61 to '65.'' (Applause). , Crop of Ghiidreh the B?St Bf 8&i uAnd noAv, .in saying good-bye, T want-to .say to you men and women! that TTiave been immensely impress ed with North Carolina-With her ag riculture, with her industries, but that th? croft that t ?ili? b??t i? the cro^p iii children. (Applause) and ? congratulate North Carolina on the children seem to be all right in quality and quantit?:r' (Move applause). At the conclusion of the President's speech he Avas driven rapidly in an automobile to the station. At 7.45 the train departed for Greenville with tho President's party. The Charlotte people gave President Roosevelt :i royal reception^ and he was delighted; Friday the President paid a visit to his mothher's old home at Kos Avell, Georgia, going from there to Atlanta, Avhere he addressed a hun dred thousand people, and received the greatest OA'ation of his Southern trip. The President Ava? received in a hearty manner at dil points where stops ?vere made. At Jacksonville, Fla., a splendid reception AA\IS ten dered him, tremendous croAvds being present. From Jacksonville he Avas taken to St. Augustine Avhere he spent: Sunday, The display of genu ine Southern hospitality AA\IS re sponded to by fitting remarks at all points by the President.

While Sunday was the fifth conse cutive day tili which no deaths were reported, which in itself wa? a cause for much general satisfaction, the most gratifying information came in the shape of a telegram, from the State health officer oOIississippi that at t? p. fiji tiil Mississippi quarantine would be raised.
