address ef proseutatinn in which
he -poke in the most u? quulilied
terms of approbation of the eon
spicuous gallantry and services of
Lieut. Jenkins during the Spanish*
American war.
He subsequently made a tour of
inspection of the grounds of the
exposition, and after having participated
in a reception given at
the Woman's building in honor of
himself and Mrs. Roosevelt, he

TI7K I'RKSIDKNT'S Sl'KKCII.
In his address in the auditorium
today, President Korsevelt spoke
at sonio length of the remarkable
progress which lias been made by
the South, and especially South
Curolina since the late war. lie
I
emphasized the necessity of unity j
of action between all of the people'
of the United Statos in order that (
the marvelous era of prosperity
which is now upon the country
might be perpetuated.
Probably, however, the portion
of his address which was listened
to with the closest attention and
which called forth the most unstinted
applause, was that which
treated of the absolute disappear
I
ance of all sectional lines in I lie
nation's feelings and alTection.
In this connection lie said:
"It is to nie a peculiar privilege j
to speak here in your beautiful ,
city. .My mother's people wereI
from Georgia; but tic fore they !
came to Georgia before the revo-!
lotion, in the day* ol colonial rule,
they dwelt for nearly a century in
South Carolina; and therefore I
clrim your State as mine by in-!
heritance, lie less than by the j
stronger and nobler l ight which
makes each foot of American soil
in a sense the property of all
Americans.
"Charleston is not only atypical
Southern city; it is also a city
whose history teems with events
which link themselves to American
history as a whole. In the
early colonial days Charleston was
the outpost of our people against
the Spaniards, in the South. In
t'ie days of the revolution there
occurred here sotue of the events
which vitally affected the out
eomo of the struggle for independence,
and which impressed
themselves most deeply upon tiie
popular mind. It was here Hint
the tremendous, terrible drama of
the Civil War opened.
"With a delicate and thoughtful
courtosy you originally asked
uie 10 come to tins exposition on
the birthday of Abraham Lincoln.
Tho invitation not only showed a
tine generosity and manliness in
you, my hosts, but it also emphasized
how completely we are
now a united people. The wounds
left l>y the great Civil War, incomparably
the gieatest war of 1
modern times, have healed and its
memories are new priceless heri- 1
tages of honor alike to the North 1
and to the South. Tho devotion, '
the self sacrifice, the steadfast '
resolution and lofty daring, the
high devotion to tho right as each i
saw it, whether Northerner or <
Southerner, all these qualities of (
the men and women of the early 1
sixtios now shine luminous and 1
brilliant before our eyes while '
the mists of anger ami hatred I
that once dimmed them have '
pussed away forever. j1
"All of us, North and South, *
can glory alike in the valor of thej
men who wore the gray. Those It
wore iron times, and onlv iron I <
men could light to it- terrible t

shown in tho struggle by tho>?
who took part therein will r<
main forevermore to mark tut
level to which we, in our turn,
must rise, whenever the hour of
the nation's need may come.
"When four voars ago this nul
lum was compelled to face a
foreign foe, tho completeness of
the reunion became instantly and
strikingly evident. Tho war was
not one whieh railed for the exercise
of more than an insignificant
fraction of our strength and the
strain put upon us was slight indeed
compatcd with the results.

tlie sons of the soldiers of the
L'nion ami the soldiers ol' the Confederacy
leaped eagerly forward,
emulous to show in brotherly
rivalry the ipiulities which had
won renown for their fathers, the
men of the great war. It was my
good fortune to servo under an
ex-Confederate general, old doe
Wheeler, who commanded the
cavalry division at Santiago.
In my regiment there were
certainly as many men whose
fathers had served in the Southern
as there wore men whoso
fathers had served in the North- j
einanny. Among tho captains
there was opportunity to promote
but one to lield rank. The man
who was singled out for this promotion
because ot conspicuous
gallantry in the field, was the son
of a Confederate general and was
hinoolf a citizen of this, the Palmetto
State: and no American
office 1* could wish to march to
battle beside a more loyal, gallant
and ahs Mutely fearless a comrade
than my former captain and major.

lkA few mouths ago, owing t?>
the enforced absence of the Governor
of the Philippines, it became
necessary to nominate a vice
Governor to take his place, one
of the most important places in
our government at this time, and
1 nominated as vice Governor an
ex-Confederate general, Luke
Wright of Tennessee. It is,
therefore, an ox-Contedera?e who
now stands as the exponent of
this government and this people
in that great group of islands in
the eastern seas over which the
Atnericiii llag tloats. General
Wright has taken a leading part
in the work of steadily bringing
order and peace out of the bloody
chaos in which we found the islands.
He is now taking a lending
part, not merely in upholding
the honor of the flag, by making
it respected as the symbol of
power, but still more in upholding
its honor bv unwearied labor
for the establish nent of ordered
liberty, of law creating, law abid
ing civil government under its
folds. The progress which has
beeu made under General Wright
and those like him has been indeed
marvelous. in fact, a letter

Miller's kitchen. There is now
the following circumstantial evidence
against Milter, who was the j
girl's music teacher and had paid I

her father had asked hi in to keep '
away from the house. When he '
was examined at the Grand Rivor

a towel was discovered in his
kitchen with what are supposed to

just before 12 o'clock last night.

Miss Jcnnett left her home last
evening to attend a meeting of
