HIS MOTHER'S HOMffi. President Roosevelt Friday carried out his long cherished plan of visiting the home of h:s mother?Roswell, Ga One of his reasons for coming south was that he might see the old home steAd where his mother spent her girlhood and which sbe left a happy f hn uloiK tuao fvomrKi UflUC. JL UAU ?HC rtoiu una iiau^nv with maDy teniler recollections was evident, and as his o vrrlage drove away from tbe old Bulloch mansion where his mother liyed and married, the president murmured to Mrs Iloosevelt, "I can hardly leave here." The president reached Roswell at 7 30 O'clock Friday morning and was j jintd here by Senator and Mrs. Clay, w 10 were his guests at breakfast. He then entered a carriage and was driven to the mansion. This 11 oe old 1 omestead is now theproerty of J. D. Wing, a lumber merchant of this sec t >n, who lives in It with his sister, Mrw. Wood, the post master at R'jswell. WELCOMED 11Y A STUDENT. From the homestead the president was driven to the town park, where a stand had been erected from which be delivered an address. II was welcomed to Koswell by Churl*"* M. Iieed, a student of Mercer uni *?-r?ity, who In the course of a w? 11 - . n address, said the only ria?or b o/uldsee for the selection of b rr s f oo deliver this welcome was bfcaus of the presidents well kDown fondness for having young men identified with public liTiirs. Senator A. S. Clay introduced the president, who was enthusiastically greet ed as he arose to speak. He said: "Senator, ar dyou, my friends, whom It Is hard for uae not to call my uelgh bors, for 1 feel as If you were: "You can have no idea of how much it means to me to ome buck to ltos well, to the home of mv m ittier and my mother's people, and to see the ipot which 1 already know so well from what my mother and ray aunts told roe. It has been exactly as If 1 were rt-vlsltii g some old place i f my childhood It has meant very much to me to be Introduced by Senator Clay. Senator Clay has been altogether too kind iu what he said about, me. N jw i am going to say nothing whatever but the bare facts ab? ut Senator Clay, and these facts amount to this: If the average mm 1 had to deal with ? public life possessed Sena* or Clay 'stirn devotion to what he deeuos rig it, my task wou'd be sotasv that it would not be worth mentioning. 1 hive gone to Senator Clay for advice aud counsel and help ever since 1 have been in Washington. Just as I went to Senator Cockrell of Missouri while he was in the Nenate, with the certainty that all 1 had to do was to convince him that what he wanted d lie was right ?1 could not always convince him?but If I did convince him that was the end of it?he went that way. 1118 earliest recollections "O.i my friends, 1 hardly like to say how deeply my heart is moved by Coming back here among y? u.

"I wish I could spend hours here to look all through and see the different places about which I have heard all kinds of incidents. All those anecdotes looking back now. 1 oin see, taught me an enormous amount, perhaps all the more because they wero not in tended to teach anything. 1 think perhaps we are very apt to learin most when neither we nor the people talk lug to us intend to teach anything. If anybody starts to teach us something we are a little apt to resent it and assume a rather repellent altitude.

Newcome. Men and women don'L you think that I have the anc:slral rlgnt fr> ciaioi a proud kinship with those who showed their devotion to duty as they saw the duty, whether they wore the gray or whether they wore the blue? All Americans who are worthy the name feel an equal pride in trie valor of those who fought on one side or the other, provided only that each did with a'l his might and soul and mind his duty as it was given him to see his duty." rnu. ? ? J ^ - - aiie president mxt was driven to the old Presbyterian church In which his grandfather, James Bullock, was ouce a U>aou:K member. Mr Bulloch dropped ?eud in this church while te&cjing a Sunday school class in 1849, and among those present In tue church today were three membeis of that clasi who were present at the time. Toe venerable pastor of the church, ltey. Dr. W. E. Baker, offered prayer and the president and Mrs. Roosevelt then shook hands with a number of the townspeople, many of whom had known the president's mother. On the way to the train the president stopped for a moment at the home of Dr. Baker, where he met the pastor's wife, who was one of his mother's bridtBmaids. In the escort, which c inducted the president from his train to the different points he vJslted, was Warren E. Orookctt, who was a member of CjI. 1 I K wevelt's regiment during the Spanish war.
