pleasure to be greeted as I was today
by the n>on who served in the Confed
erate army. Vesterday and today I
traveled through a region which sent
its sons, some to wear tho blue, some
to wear the grey, all to serve wlthrbur- I
ago and solf-devotion to the right as it I
was givon them to see. I feel that tho
man would be but a poor American ?
who did not come from the scenes com- 1
memoratiug the gallant deeds of those
armies a hotter American than whon
he started. While 1 was there a dele
gation of young men from the State of
Georgia came to present me a cane cut
from the battlefield with tho names of
three Union and three Confederate
generals on it. One of the Union gen
erals, General Boyton, was showing
me around the Hold. One Confederate
general, General Joe Wheeler, had been
my chief in the Spanish war. (Ap
plause.) Yesterday we stopped at a lit
tle station in Tennessee an.j among
those who gathered to greet me was an .
old fellow who had worn the gray. He j
said: '1 was one of Wheeler's boys.' I
said, 'So was I.' (Laughter and ap
plause.)
ALL AMERICANS.
"ft is n good thing for an American
President to have tho chance to travel
through the different sections of the
country, because it is a mighty good,
thing for any American to meet his fel
I low-Americans at different parts of the
country in order that he many realize
(how trivial are the points of unlikeness i
and how essential are tho points of !
likeness. (Applause.) A good American
is a good American, and don't caro a j
snap of my finger whether he comes
from the North or the South, or the :
Eaat or the West. If h<r is straight ]
and decent man I am for him, and if he I
is not, I am not. (Applause.)
"Oh, my friends, the lesson of broth- !
erhood, the lesson that is taught by
I such ,a greeting as I am receiving at
['this moment, the lesson that is taught
whenever you see valiant and true men
who wore the blue meet valiant and
true, men who wore the grey and shake
haifds with them, that lesson applies
through all our national life, and it ap
plies Just as much In forming a judg
ment between class and class as be
tween sectloa and sccjjon. We never
| can succeed in makHig this country
what It can and sft^ul be made until we
work together* no f. primarily, as North
erners or Southerners, Easterners or
Westerners, not frimarily as employe
or employer, townsmen or countrymen,
capitalists or waj?-workers, but pri
marily as American citizens, (ap
plause), to whom the right Of brother
ly friendship and comradeship with all
other decent American citizens comes
as the first and greatest of privl leges.
We need good laws, we need honest
and upright administration of the lrfVrs
but we nes4 as the fundamental pre
requisite for goad government, a high
average standard of citizenship In the
men who maks the laws ana stand
back of them. (Applause.) The best law
by Itself will not bring good cltlzen
shljL-3* bad law will do Incalculable
harm and no great damage can be done
to any community than maladminis
tration, dishonest or unfair adminis
tration of laws. A law badly adminis
tered can do great harm, and often
most harm to those who at any given
moment may think that it Is to thalr
interest to hare the law violated or to
have it put upon the statute books. Bad
laws can do harm. Good laws can do
a measure of good, but It is the man
behind the law who will ultimately by
the way In which he performs his du
ties determine whether this country is
to go up or down. (Applause.)
CHARACTER COUNTS, f
" "Character is what counts. The men i
here who fougfct In the Union army, J
the men who fought In the Confederate :
army, let thorn look back. What did j
they care for most In the men who i
were their comrades, who fought on !

move In the right direction. You want
ed to know that you could count on his
being tbere us a good friend and not as
a foe to look out for. You wanted to
have him devoted to. his country, de
voted to his ling, loyal to h'.s regiment,
but 1 don't care how due his fetdiiwa
wore, jf he. ran away he was no good,
(laughter.) It in bo In civil life,; lor If
:i citizen la to be worth his Halt he
needs character, and into character
many elements enter. If a man Is not
decent, then the ablet he Is the more
dangoious he is to the community. In
the Revolutionary war one of tho brav
est and most brilliant soldiers during
the early years of the contest was the
man who haB left his name as a by
word of iufatuy to the nations for all
time; the man who fought with dls
flnguished gallantry In Canada, tho
man who led all the American forces
In the great battle ->f Saratoga and left
his leg on the field of victory. That
man with all his coura/p, all his dar
ing, all his superb military ponies,
turned because the root of 'righteous
ness was not in him, sought to betray
his comrades for money and loft the
name of Benedict Arnold as a hissing
forever moro. ?
"The civil life the danger, la not so
patent, but It Is just as grerft if ability
is not accompanied by a rightful senso
of accountability to the moral law. In
addition to honefcty and docency, you
must have courage. I want to see every
one a good man, and In addition to that
I want to see him a man. We must
have the manly virtues deeply imbed
ded as part of our national character- j
is'tlcs If we are to do our work aright
In peace or In war. Hut honest} and
courage together are not enough. I
care not how brave and how honest a
man Is If he was born foolish jrni can
do but little with him. (Laughter and
applause.) We need courage, and we
need In addition the saving giace of
common -sense. There Is no patent de
vine by which we can make this coun
try prosper and there is no patent de
vice by which we can make the aver
age citizen a credit to the country;
make him hold higher the standard cf
good government. Tho average citizen
must make himself a worthy citizen of
the republic. The average citizen must
? realize that ^ la upon hln ahouldera
that the entire government structure
rest^ We got in the habit of speaking
of'.the government as though It was
something apart from us. Now tho gov
ernment is us, we ar^'the e >vernment,
you and I. (Applause.) And the gov
erment is going to do well or ill ac
cordingly as we, with sanity, with res
olution, with broad charity and sound
common sense, make up our iniuds
how the affairs of the goyernment shall
be managed. No m/in can take the
burden of government off the , shoul
ders of a people fitted for self-govern
ment. N/j man can make It easy for the
people to govern themselves. They have
got to determine for themselves what
I the government shall bo ami in the
long run the government will repre
sent their wishes, their , wishes for
good or their wishes for evil or els?V
they are indifferent to good or evil.
(Applause.) And so m^ plea to you, my
fellow-Amelrcans, a^ to every c-ltzen In
every section of Uie country, is, re
member that In 'this county, no law
or leadership, can possibly take the
place of the exercise by the average
citizen of/ the fundamental virtues of
good citizenship, the exercise of the
fundamental qualities of honesty, eour
age and cotnmonsense."

Hickory, N. C., Special.? Hickory

Henry Grady AHsftiu?.
Atlanta. Special. ? Henry W. Grndv.
Jr., has disappeared, and his friends
and relatives are much concerned
:?Ver his fate. M>\ Gradv Is the onlv
son of the late Henrv W. Grady, edi
tor of The Atlanta Constitution, who
at the time of his death was prob
ably the most popular man in the
j South. Young Grady was last seen in
J Norfolk on Friday of last week, when
he left the hotel where he was stop
ping with his wife and child, in order
to secure transportation for the re
turn trip to Atlanta, his home. Sine?
that time no traeo of him has been
found by any member of the family.
Mrs. Grady, prostrated with grief, ha.s
returned to Atlanta. Eugene K. Black,
a prominent attorney of this city and
brother-in-law of Mr.. Grady, Is now
In New York In quest of him. having
abandoned all hope of finding him in
Norfolk.
Mr. Grady has long suffered from
severe attacks of hay fever and It Is
thought by some of his close friends
that his protracted Illness had af
fected his mind. The strongest theory
advanced in explanation of his disap
pearance Is that he might have wan
dered aboard an outgoing steamer or
train whllo under temporary mental
aberatloh. The theory of foul play
has also been put forward, but it Is
- difficult to find a motive far this as
Mr. Grady had only a small amount of
money upon his person when he was
last seen. The theory of suicide Is not
entertained by his family or friends..
His domestic life was happy and he
was in very comfortable financial cir
cumstances. Every possible effort will
be made to locate him, and the police
of every city, domestic and foreign,
will be notified to watch for him.

Our Neighboring Republic Gets Worst
of Scrap With Germany
IIAYT1EN BOAT SENT TO BOTTOM.
German Vessel, Carrying; Aims to
Provisional Government, Stopped
By haytlen Patrol.
Cape Haytlen, By Cable. ? The gun*
boat Croto-a-Pierot, which was in the
service of the FirmtnUt . party, ha?
boon snnk at the entrance of the. bar
k bor of Qonavioa by the Herman gun
boat Panther. The crow of the Creto
a-Plerot left her before she went
down.
The Qermau gun-boat Panther ar
rived at Por^Au-Prlnce, Boptembor f?.
It was announcod from (Jape Iiaytlen,
September 3, that the German steam
er Markomannla, Captain Nansen, of
the Hamburg-American Packet Com
pany, having on board arms and
ammunition sent by the provisional
government to Capo Haytlen, had
been stopped September 2 by the
Flrminist gun-boat Crete-aPio.rot at
the entrant? to the harbor of Capo
Haytlen and that an armed force sunt
on board the steamer from the gun
boat took possession of the \v?ir
munitions, in 3plte of the protesta
tions of Captain Nansen. and the Ger
man consul.
The seizure of the Markomannla has
becnp characterized as an act of piracy.
But a dtfipateir from "Berlin to the
Associated Press, dated September G.
said German government circles did
not take a tragic viuw of tho sulzure
of -the German vessel but that satis
faction would be demanded. Tho For
eign Office agrees with the view hold
by the foreign representatives nt
Port-Au-Prlnce. said tho dispatch, that
the action of the Crete-a-Plerot was
piracy, but it waa not then known
whether satisfaction would be de
manded from General Flrmin or whe
ther the result of the rovolutlon in
Hayti would be awaited.
The Crete-a-Plerot was a steel ves
sel of 950 tons displacement. Slio wn.y
armed with one 7.2-lncB ^?u, one 4 Jr
lnch. four 3.9-inch, two Maxim ma
chine guns and four Nordenfeld /tfxa
chine guns, Tho Crete a-Pierot was
formerly in the service of the Haytlen
government and Admiral Killick was
commander of the Haytlen fleet. June
28<'0f this year Admiral Killick disem
barked troops from the Crete-a-Plerot.-,
to support General Firmin, one of the
candidates for the presidency of the
republic, and after refusing to recog
nize tho authority he began to bom
Ijard Cape Haytlen. The diplomatic
corps protested. Since June 27, the
Crete-a-Plerot has been operating In
the interests of General Flrmin. Tho
Haytlen government 'disavowed the
a?(4on of Admiral Killick in bom
barding Cape Haytlen and ordered his
arrest. The Panther is a steel..cruis*
Ing vessel of 977 tons.
This Flmlnlsts have been active and
In some <iases successful in their en
gagements with1 the fonii of the gov
ernment under command of General
Alex Nord, by the direction or under
the provision*! government. Df? -flrmin
Is considered by many people to have
the beat chance of gaidlng the presi

Port-Au-Prlnee, Haytl, Special.? The
German gun-boat Panther arrived
here September 5 and received In
structions from the German govern
ment to capture the Flrminlat gun
boat Crefe^a-Plerot. She left imme
diately for Gotoalves. The Panther
found the Crete-a-Plerot in the harbor
of Gonalves and the commander of
the German gun-boat informed Ad
miral Killick, on the Crete, that he
must remove *4<fcrew and surrender
his vessel In five , minutes' time. Ad
miral Killick aaked that this Ume be
extended to 16 minutes. The request
irif granted on the condition that the
arms and ammunition on board should
be abandoned when her crew ifeft her.
The crew of the Crete-a-Plerot left
that vessel, amid great disorder. At
the end of 15 minutes the Panther
sent a small boat carrying an officer
and 20 sailors who wane to take pos
session of the Flrminist gufl-boat.
When these men had arrived at a
point about 30 yards, from the Crote,
flames- were seen to break out on
