PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT GIVEN AN OVATION BY CAROLINIANS. Accorded Enthusiastic Reception and Experiences the Genuine Hospitality of the "City by the Sea." Great Military Parade-Ail Char? leston and Thousands of South Carolinians Fiii Streets When President Passed. SWORD PRESENTED TO MAJ. MICAH JENKINS. Charleston, Apiri 8.-The hope of President Roosevelt last night that he j might see sunshine in the morning was fully realized. The downpour of rain which had marked the trip almost from the moment of departure had ceased, tfee heavy black clouds disap? peared and the day broke with a cloud? less sky. The journey to Charleston was made entirely without accident. To guard against any possibility of this nature the Southern railway offi? cials sent a pilot engine ahead of tho president's special. Every detail of the trip was carried out under the di -. rection of Col. L. S. Brown, general agent, who accompanied the party from Washington. The president and Mrs. Roosevelt were early risers, and welcomed the sunshine as it made it possible to carry out the programme which had been arranged for the enter? tainment of the visitors. The presi? dent retired last night before the State line of North Carolina was reached. At Summerville 22 miles from Charleston, the party was met by a special committee, headed by Mayor Smyth, Capt. F. W. Wagener, presi? dent of the exposition and J. C. Hemphill. who accompanied the presi? dent on the remainder of the journey. CHARLESTON'S WELCOME. Ali Charleston was up and >Dut this morning to do honor to the president and from the time of arrival within the corporate limits of the city to boarding the steamer it was a contin? uous ovation. The president's train reached Charles? ton at 9.30 a. m., on time. The party did not come into the city but left the train five miles out where trolley cars were waiting to convey them to the naval station to take the revenue cutter for a tour of the harbor. The president's immediate party went directly to the naval station, where they were joined in a few moments by members of the reception committee and invited guests from the city. A guard of 30 militiamen was stationed about the approaches of the train and stood at the present arms as the presi? dent landed. At the naval station 50 men of the militia were posted, main? taining picket lines about the reserva? tion and none was allowed in the ilnes except such as had special passes. The president and his party were shown about the station and then were con? ducted to the pier where the revenue cutter Algonquin was in waiting. As the president set foot on the deck the flag of the commander-in-cihef of the army and navy was raised, and the jackies were paraded while a salute of 21 guns was fired. : In the stream the cutter Forward and Hamilton were lying, and further down toward the city were the cruiser Cincinnati and the training ships Topeka and Lancas? ter. A TOUR OF THE HARBOR. After the guests had gone aboard the Algonquin started on a tour of thelS harbor. Passing down Cooper riv^r. a fine view of the ctiy and the open^S ing of the bay -.vas presented The weather was perfect. There was noi; a cloud in the sky and a gentle breeze blew from the ocean with just a brac? ing touch in it, not chill enough toi require overcoats. In passing to the bay the Agonquin came abreast of the j cruiser Cincinnati whose d^eks were i manned with her crew as well as the Topeka and Lancaster. As the presi? dent's vessel passed each ship a salute of 21 guns was fired. Off the Algon? quin was greeted with the same wel? come and she passed ont to the ocean with gay streamers amid a chorus of '< guns, just a little run to the sea and | the Algonquin turned about and re- ! turned to the .harbor, passing around historic Fort Sumter. While steam ing up the bay luncheon was served in ; the cabin of the cutter. A short j run was made up the Ashley river, giv- j ing a view of the city's western water \ front and then the ship was headed j bak for the landing where a troop of ? the Charleston Light Dragoons was in waiting to escort the president to his j headquarters at the St. John hotel. | All the arrangements were excellent, and there was not a break in the pro- j gramme. The president seemed in high spirits and entered with keen zest into all the features of the oe sion. INSPECTS FORT SUMTER. The president accompanied by a : of his party and members of the rec tion committee, boarded a small stes er which came alongside the revei cutter and were taken over to F Sumter. A company of artillery \ standing at attention when the pr< dent landed and immediately w through a gun drill, the imme 12-inch disappearing guns ^ be manipulated in a manner to excite admiration of all A tour was tl made through the fort. A small h ricane was blowing at the time, ? although the president was wear: $ soft hat it was caught and w< soaring into the air, the presid? making a vain effort to catch Private Frederick Dent of the ari lery corjps came to the rescue a quickly recovered it''President Roo velt grasped, him by the hand an thai ed him most cordially. He a complimented the men on their exp< handling of the guns. Upon arriving at the wharf the pr ient, escorted by a troop of ^ ca val: was driven to the palatial residence Mr. Andrew Simonds, where an i nf or al reception was held and a buf lunch se::ved, . after which the pa: was escorted to the St. John's ho and a bri ef rest taken, preparatory attending the banqtuet a the Charil ton hoteL THE BANQUET. The banquet tendered to Peside Roosevelt tonight at the Chariest hotel, was a tfiting close to a day fi of incidents and served to gather j gether men prominent in the affa: of the Sate, having solely in mind greeting to the president which WOT, prove the sincerity and the warmth feeling existing for him as * the ch: executive of the nation. The banqi hall was a bower of roses, pinks a smilax, artistically arranged, wh loosely strewn over the tables wc thousands of violets, where fragran could only but suggest that springtii had arrived. Over three hundr speciaily invited guests were prese and the president was at his best, a few well chosen remarks May Smyth welcomed President Roosev< to Charleston, whose response w listened to with the closest attentif and which were interrupted by loi and continuous applause. The president's remarks were as f< lows: "Mr. Mayor, and you, my hosts ai my fellow American citizens: (Gre applause. ) I should indeed be but poor American myself if I were n deeply touched and gratified by tl way you have greeted me today, this your beautiful city ; and of cour I feel at home here. (Applause. ) think that an American who is wori his salt has the right to feel at hon in every part of the United State (Applause. ) "Around this table I see many m< who took part in the great war. Tl war in which the younger among 1 here took part was a very little 01 because it didn't have to be any bij ger. (Applause. ) But it had 01 thoroughly.good effect; it put the cz on the structure that had been buih ing while we were almost unconscioi of it, and it taught us how thorougl ly at ono we were. When we g< though taat war it did not make a b of diff?rence to us whether it was ? admiral who came from Vermont or lieutenant who came from Alaban: (applause), if the man had done h: duty in such shape as to make us eac feel an even more generous thrill c pride in our common nationality. Th debt that we owed him had little t do with the section from which h came. (Applause.) "And now, a special word to you c Charleston and of South Caroline Just 12 years ago when I first went t Washington to take part in govern mental werk I was immediately throw into singularly close contact an intimacy with a South Carolinian. It was my good fotune to work wit; him for three years and for the nin years since and for as long as I shal continue to be in public life, it wi] te to me ever a spur to try to d decent du;y of the republic, because have been thrown intimately in con tact with as fearless and as bigmindei a public servant as his country has eve bael, my old friend, your former gover nor, Hugh Thompson. (Great ap plan se. ) " And from what I have known o: .you and of your representatives it wa: in no sense a surprise, but it was i keen pleasure to be greeted with th? hearty'and generous hospitality, th( more than hearty and generous hospi? tality which you have shewn me to? day. < Applause. ? "The welfare cf any part of this country is in a certain sense an indes of the welfare of all, and I think, gen j tlemen, that on the average as we all ! tend to go up. it seems to be little bet? ter to go u niformly rather rh an at a sharper gair, for the time being, and then down and then up airain and then j down. South Carolina seems during i the last two decades to have definitely entered upon the path of steady pro ? gress in things material as well * as in other things. I was much struck in I looking over some of the figures of the \ eenscs quite recently published to sec I the astonishing progress that has bren j made here in >our State. 1 was pre I pared to see that the values of your farm products had risen as they have a little over ~r2 per cent I was prc paed to see that your farms ihem selves had increased in a still larger proportion: that the value of your lands and buildings had grown up, but 1 did not realize the way in which your manufacturing enterprises had increased, both as shown in the fact that your manufacturing products had gone up over 130 per eenr. : Thar for instance the number of spindles lias about quadrupled, from less than half a million to more than two million in the State. I did not realize that the wages paid out had increased 7."> per i cent. Gentlemen, you talk of progress of the far west, but I think South I Carolina can give points to some of the States. (Applause.) I think that with such a record for the previous M decade you were well warranted upon insisting on holding your exposition here. (Applase. ) "And gentlemen, I was very glad that in arranging for your exposition you not only took part in the Southern States but that you specially included tne islands lying south of the United States, those isl? ands with which the events of the last few years have made it evident that we are bound in the future to have closer relations. (Great applause), closer relations for our advantage and our advantage can only be secured by making it for their advantage also. (Loud appliause. ) And about all that I have said applies to the greatest and richest of those islands, the islands with which we have been brought into the most peculiar intimacy and rela? tionship-the Island' of Cuba. (Ap? plause. ) And I ask that in our trade relations with Cuba! we give her a marked and substantial advantage, not merely because it will redound to our interest to do so, although , that also is true, especially because the events have so shaped themselves that it^ is our duty as a great and mighty nation to help Cuba and I hope to see us do our duty. ( Cheers and applause. ) I shall not try to make you any speech tonight, because for your sins you will have to listen to me make one to? morrow. (Laughter. ) I shall merely thank you again with all myfheart and say to you that I want you to appre? ciate that I mean every word I say, and mean it deeply when I tell you I have been touched, more than pleased, touched and stirred by the warmth and heartiness with which you have made me feel today that I am one of you." (Lotld applause and cheers. ) The president was followed by Gov. McSweeney, who prefaced his prepared speech by a few words in which he as? sured the president that he was as safe from bodily harm in South Caro? lina as he was in Washington. ?Capt. Wagener, Gov. Aycock of North Carolina and several others made short addresses. It was mid? night when the party broke up and as the president left the room he was cheered to the echo, not only by those who had been fortunate enough to at? tend the banquet but by, the large numbers who had patiently waited in I the hotel parlors and outside to catch a glimpse of him. Upon arriving at his hotel he immediately retired. Charleston. April 9.-At Calhoun's funeral, when Hampton made his great campaign speech here in 1876, when the Confederate reunion was held here in 1899, great bodies of marching men filled the streets of this ancient city and its sidewalks and ? doors and windows were filled with en/ thusiastic thousands, but all those great out pourings of the people were small compared to the procession which followed President Roosevelt to the exposition grounds today. The enthu? siasm of the people was unbounded, and there was standing room only on the sidewalks and porches and door? ways and in the wide piazzas of the houses along the line of march. Old and young were infected with patriot? ic fervor, and a man with whom nine tenths of the people he "saw differed politically, was greeted with every manifestation of respect that a warm hearted people could show. It remind? ed one of the story of a little Union girl in western Maryland who rushed to the door of her home to see and possibly to scowl at Gen. Robert E. Lee as he rode past on horseback. When she saw his splendid face she shrank back saying, "How I wish he belonged to us." So thought the best people of Charleston today, and thou? sands of them believed it true, when they heard the president proudly pro? claim his southern birthright at the Auditorium later in the day. The parade started from the St. John's hotel, the president's quarters, at 10 o'clock, and was composed of marines, seamen, cadets, artillerists and militiamen o! four states, under command of Col. Charles M. Morris, U. S. A.. of the garrison at Sullivan's Island. The men were in excellent trim and the weather was ideal with just enough crispness in the air to make marching comfortable. The route was through Queen, Meeting, Calhoun, Rutledge and Grove streets to the exposition grounds and almost one hundred times the president stood in his carriage and acknowledged with a smile and bow the enthusiastic plaudits of the people. Passing a tallyho containing some of Charles? ton's Harvard alumni, decked with the college colors, he was greeted with the college yell and was evidently very much pleased. Arriving at the exposition grounds the president went immediately into the auditorium and waited until the head of the column had arrived in front of the building. When notified that the troops were ready to be re? viewed he took his stand on a plat? form prepared for the purpose' and conducted the review. Mrs. Roosevelt stood at his left and nearby were Mayor Smyth, Capt. Wag?ner, Gov. McSweeney, Gov. Aycock and others. Tho president was particularly pleased with the appearance and march of the jackies and made several compliment- ! arv remarks as various State troops passed before him. The president ? had been in Charleston more than 24 hours and had been cheered and greet? ed on all sities, when appearing, but the culminating event of the visit to Charleston and the exxposition was when he came into the auditorium and bowed and smiled his acknowl? edgments to the cheering which greet? ed him by 10.000 throats. The auditorium is a handsome ? building and with its flags and bunt- ? ing freshly arranged for President's Day and with a dais for the speaker, the front of which was coveied with a large flag, was particuarly beautiful. The audience heard each speaker with most attentive appreciation and cheer? ed to the echo many of the sentiments expressed, but the president was of course the centre of attraction at all ? times. President Roosevelt's incisive, j clear cut words never fell on more attentive ears. There was much in what he said and more in his manner I of saying it. The president greeted I his audience as "Americans" and J y while giving all credit to the so and South Carolina for her part the history of the country, he mad< plain that there must he enterpi and industry, continued and unce ing if success and achievements w to be had in the fnture that would comparable to the past. The pr< dent was dressed in a well fitt Prince Albert, cut rather high in neck and buttoned closely, show only a small section of a' turndo collar and a blue and white four hand tie. Thousands were banked up in fr? of the building and at the sides, 1 the crowd was not allowed to rush only a few being let in at a time The stage was crowded with proi nent citizens of Charleston "s abroad, including all of the memb of the' city conucil, city officials z distinguished citizens. The ladies the woman's board and the memb of the reception committee occup: boxes. President Roosevelt, togetl with Capt. Wagener and officers of 1 exposition, occupied seats on ? sm platform erected in the centre of 1 stage and the audience commanded splendid view. The artillery ba occupied seats to the president's 1 and furnished delightful music at tervals during the exercises. The first speaker was Capt. F. Wagener, president of the Expositi Company. He was recei ved en thu astically and in a very few worrds < tended cordial greetings to the pre j dent and the members of the pal i and visitors to the exposition. Gov. McSweeney, of South Care na, was the next speaker and he < tended the warmest and kindest gre j ings to the president from the peoj of South Carolina. The next address was made by Gc Aycock, of North Carolina, w brought kind words and a heartf< welcome from the old North Sta; Gov. Aycock is a most eloque speaker and he was received wi great applause. He assured the pre: dent that all North Carolina was gi to have him in the south at any tin but especially on this particular c casion, tho holding of the greatest e position ever held in the sont Many visitors were here from I own State to join with South Caro! na in welcoming him. Mayor J. Adger Smyth then inti duced the president. The audien seemed to have guessed Mayor Smyth purpose, for there was a burst of a plause the moment he arose from h seat. At the conclusion of the president speech President Wagener annonce] that the friends and admirers of Ma Jenkins in South Carolina wished present the sword to Maj. Jenkins < this occasion as most fitting the tesl monial, presented Gov. Thompson the audience. The former governor was greeti with enthusiastic applause as 1 stepped forward. A great shout of approbation mar! ed the close of the former governor address and this swelled to an ove whelming greeting as the preside] sprang forward with evident deligJ and took the sword from the ham Gov. Thompson and turned the ga lant Maj. Jenkins. Maj. -Jenkins ste; ped forward with soldierly bearing ch in the dress uniform of a major of ti Rough Riders the full dress unifor being unknown in that command, was a fine picture as the two form? Rough Riders faced each other and th president in ringing: tones said : Maj. Jenkins: Nothing could gil me greater pleasure than to hand yo my old friend and comrade whose cou age I saw tiied again and again an whose courage was of a temper th* made it indifferent what the trial wa; to hand you this sabre. I am glad t do it as the guest of South Carolim as the president of the United State: but glader to do it as your old frien and comrade. In accepting the sword Maj. Jenkin said : Mr. President: In the Spanish American war I had the honor of bein the only representative from Sont Carolina in that peerless vol un tee regiment-the 'Rough Riders." M State, with her gentle, soft voice glorious women and her sons almos without exceptnioof soldier extractioi has always demanded of her represen tatives afield that they come back wit] i their shields or be brought back OJ them. With these reflections to star with and later on the proud privileg< from 10.000 gallant fellows who strovi of serving with that thousand to forn what was to be the 'Rough Riders and brigaded and divisioned with tlx flower of the American anny the Uni ted States cavalry it might well bav? been expected That the single South Carolinian would do ii is duty. If ] have measured up in any manner tc I the standard of these high privileges it is to be a matter of life-long thank? fulness. Your prompt and generous recognition of the little that fell to my lot to accomplish- a recognition as quickly extended to the soldierfrom Arkansas as to the soldier from New York-has now been followed on the part of my fellow statesmen by the gift of this beautiful sword. From time immemorial this form cf testi I monial has always been especially i gratifying to its recipient. It is to ? rae. Grateful to me as is this beauti? ful offering, Mr. President, my fellow statesmen have added much to their gift Itv their graceful thoughtfulness in requesting yon. my late colonel, tb present it. In accepting this sword, sir, I wish to express to my fellow states? men, through you. my deep apprecia? tion of the high honor they ?ave this day conferred upon me and to assure them thal this sword from now on whether in my hand or that of my sen's sen. will be consecrated to the common service of South Carolina and the United States : for. thank God. that service in the event of war, is ever? more the same. I have fought with the sons of Hood and Wheeler with the men in Blue and again I say thank God for our reunited country. The greatest, most magnificent, best beloved country on the face of God's green earth-the home of the free, the land of the brave-the United States." ^ After the exercises in the Audito? rium the president and his party made an inspection-, of the different buildings and viewed all of the ex? hibits that they could in the limited time at their command. Before the inspection all of the buildings were cleared of visitors as far. as possible by the United States marines. Guards were at the doors of the buildings and while the president was in a building no one was allowed to enter. A luncheon at the Woman's building was the closing event in the presi? dent's memorable visit to Charleston. Mrs._ Sarah Calhoun Simonas, the president of the Woman's committee, proposed the health of the president, who in turn toasted "the men and women. of Charleston." He said he had enjoyed, every minute of his stay, that it was impossible to do justice to the hospitality of Charleston, add? ing "I mean every word that I say." The president and party then board? ed the speical train on the Southern at the exposition depot and departed for Summerville. THE PRESIDENT HOMEWARD BO ll NO. Crowds Gathered at the Stations to Greet Kim. Summerville, April 10.-The visit of President Roosevelt and party to the south terminated here today. No special programme had been arranged for the day. When the president came downstairs he held an informal reception in the hotel parlors and shortly afterward, accompanied by most of his party, was taken for a drive to Dorchester, the site of the old Spanish fort, under the escort of Capt. F. W. Wagener and J. C. Hemphill. The tea farm of Dr. Shepard, not far from the inn, was next visited, and as the president alighted from his car? riage, a number of 'diminutive negro tea pickers were lined up in front of Dr. Shepard's house and sang the "Star Spangled Banner," "America", and other patriotic airs. The president gratefully thanked them. The arrival at the tea farm was later than had been planned and the stay was very brief, bat the president saw enough of the industry to cause him to congratulate Dr. Shepard on the. work he is doing and to wish him every success. The party was then driven direct to the Southern railway depot, where the special train was in waiting. A company of marines who had acted as his guard while at Charleston and here, under Capt. Henry Leonard, were lined up on the depot platform. . The president thank? ed them for their services and express? ed his regret that they did not partici? pate in thft Prince Henry ceremonies, because, he said, he was sure they would have made a fine appearance. The train pulled out for Wasington amid the cheers and hurrahs of an immense crowd which had gathered at the station. ALONG THE LINE. Chester. S. C., April 10.-The presi? dent has been given a warm greeting by the people of South Carolina on his return journey to Washington. At Branchville, a small station on the Southern railroad, a stop was made for water, the president came out on the rear platform and bowed his ac? knowledgment to the 300 people who rushed for his car and cheered him. Although no stop was made at Orange burg fully 1,000 people lined the rail? road tracks and endeavored to catch a glimpse of him. A multitude gather? ed at the depot at Columbia as the train pulled in, a wild cheer went up and immediately there was a rush for the president's car. In the crowd were a number of the students of the South Carolina college who gave a strong college yell. When a semblance of order was restored the president, who all the while had been standing on the platform with Mrs. Roosevelt, made a short speech in which he said that this was but another evidence of the cordial treatment he had received while in the State. He greatly pleas? ed tho audience when he told them that he thought he was a ?rood Ameri? can when he came to South Carolina bul that he was a better one when he left it. In the handshaking which followed the president noticed tho jamming and pushing going on and he admonished the people nor to shove. Considerable laughter was caused when he grasped the outstretched hand of a Little id ri and said he w as partial to children because he had a hali' dozen of them himself. Following is his speech in full: ROOSEVELT'S SPEECH. "Ladies and Gentlemen : I, thank you most heaartily for your courtesy in coming forward to greet me this afternoon, and it is only one of th? ex? pressions of invariable courtesy with which I have been treated while in your jireat State.

(Applause.! And let me in closing ask you to support to rho best cf your ability the exposition in Charleston. I ask that nor only of you but of all our people in the union, lt is a grand tri i ?ute to the energy, the forethought and the business enterpriseof Charles? ton that they should have planned and built so really beautiful an exposition, and they deserve all the help they can possibly have in ir. I wish them well, I wish you well, and I thank you for the way you have received me. (Ap? plause, i At the close of his speech he intro- j duced Mrs. Roosevelt and the crowd ? went wild with enthusiastic cheering, j The train was held in Chester fully 10 I minutes and it is estimated that from j 3,000 to 5,000 people from the town j and county assembled to do honor to the president. Mr. Roosevlet express? ed regret that he could not shake hands with all, and as the train moved on good byes and pleasant words were showered upon him. At Winnsboro, Rock Hill, and other places in this State, and also Char? lotte, Greensboro and other points in North Caroilna similar scenes took place.
