You have heard and read how the stay
at-home Tar Heels by their grit and per
severance since 'all was lost save honor, .
have rebuilt the waste places have added
manufacturing to agriculture, until today
the Old North State is forging to the
front abreast with her more fortunate
sisters. This improvement is marked in
all her counties-villages have become
cities, her highways have been improved
and railways cross each other in all sec
tions. She is rapidly progressing in edu-
cation, and in fact in everything that
goes to make great happy and pros
porous Commonwealth, as you will realize
when you visit your old homes in every
part of the State. In this city and couE
ty you have, so to speak, an object lesson
of the great progress made by your Ia
tive State, and only indicative of further
progress.
When you return to your homes and
recount to our absent kindred, who were
prevented from meeting with us today,
the glorious progress of the Old North
State. beg OF you not to forget to speak
OF other things which you have not yet
seen, but which you will see in your
visits to your old homes before you re-
turn, and among these are some things
pleasing to the eye and dear to the mem
DRY OF every North Carolinian. And i
venture to assert that when you recall
these pictures of the old days the broader
will be the smile, and the happier the
chuckle, with which it will be received.
And inspired by their recollections of
the old times in the Old North State many

at the bar, merry meetings at the old log

'egarde1 by many as an experiment, and
he Board of Managers has met various
difficulties. 1t was impossible, for in
lance, to secure from some sections such
abroad rates as it will be easy to secure
fter one successful Reunion. Indeed, it
was impossible to secure the liberal rates
finally accorded to us in time to advertise
them properly in the territory where they
were given. M
Another great difficulty, which, in a
large measure, has been overcome, was the
idea in the minds of many people in the
State and out of it, that this was to be a
meeting of only local significance.
THE hardest task, perhaps, has been
tc arrange a program, sufficiently repre-
sentative and not too long, that would
leave opportunity for personal inter
mingling and individual greetings. The
formal program upon which we are about
to enter includes the names of many who,
by their services have brought honor to
their native State, their adopted States
and to the country.
I'm order that we may hear from as
many of these as possible, we have ar
ranged for only one address-that of our
Governor-to be as long as thirty minutes,
and for no other address to be longer than
twenty minutes. We have asked that the
length of most of the other addresses
shall be from five to seven minutes. We
hope that some whose names do not APP
pear upon the official program, and espe-
cially citzers of those commonwealth not
represented on it. may, as spokesman for
their respective States, make impromptu
five minute speeches.

these generous and high minled people of
the Old Dominion and the North Caro-
linians who have gone to dwell among
them.
But, besides this bond of sacred scnti-
ment to which l have referred, growing
out of their brotherhood in the days that
tried mems souls, when shoulder to
shoulder they marched and fought, and
side by side laid down their lives,-besides
the respect and confidence developed in
common experience of disaster and
sorrow, when both proud Commemorative
were tramped and plundered- besides the
grateful appreciation and affection kindled
in the hearts of Virginians by the chiv-
alrous services rendered their State by
North Carolinians and the equally CRATE
full appreciation and affection kindled in
the hearts of North Carolinians by the
no less chivalrous services rendered their
State by Virginians, besides this bpnd OF
sacred sentiment, there is between JUS
bond of common business interests Which
can probably not be paralleled IN the re-
lations existing between any other two
States in the Union Not only do these
States lie side by side along a boundary
line of some three hundred and fifty miles
like two fair sisters in loving embrace
not only is this the longest single boun-
dairy between any two of the original
thirteen States, so that more of their ter
ritory is in actual juxteposition and con
tact than in the case of any other two,
but the line itself is an arbitrary one, de-
termined by no natural barrier, and is
therefore invisible and easily crossed, so

mingle AS the New River flows from
North Carolina into Virginia and the Dan
from Virginia into North Carolina, both
however crossing and recrossing one line
repeatedly, as though liking both States
so much that they cannot decide whic'
they like best, so the people of the two
cross and recross the border, equally at
home either side.
Another thing which has nightly pro-
NOTED the commercial as well as social
intimacy of the two commemorative is the
way in which the railroads have been
built Great trunk lines, running north
and south, and traversing the whole width
of both, and sending lateral ramifications
this way and that have bound the two
States together in bands of steel. Our
North Carolina railways have sought the
sea as much or more by the deep water
ports of Virginia than by those of our
own State, and have poured our cotton
and tobacco and other products as well as
our men and women into Norfolk and
Richmond in steady and enrching
stream It is the radiating railways of
Richmond which have made her so largely

as well as Virginia. And in this day of
shifting properties and more elaborate
organization, with their promise of still
larger prosperity, it will become both
Richmond and North Carolina to recall the
debt they owe to the men, like Colonel Blu
ford and his co-laborers. who first devel-
oped the great system which has ever
since been and must continue to be the

rowfully passed, emigrating to the then

finally landed, in Missouri. Thirty years
afterwards a young man from Guilford

WELCOME AND RESPONSES.
1t was brilliant sight within the opera
house, crowded to its full capacity, and
sight to make the heart of every true
North Carolinian throb with patriotism.
Its noble home-sons on the stage side by
side wits its sons from abroad made per-
feet the picture of fraternal union, typi-
fled in this whole splendid event. Music
thrilled the multitude, and as it closed the

NAL and Industrial College called the as
semblage to order, after an impressive in
vocation had been made by Rev. c. w

tion filed with tenderness and with the
spirit of the splendid occasion.
DIR MOWERS REMARKS.
In opening the Reunion exercises,
President McIver made statement for
the Board of Managers and introduced
Senator Ransom as presiding officer in
the following words:
ION behalf of the Board of Manager
desire to thank every citizen of Green's
boro and every North Carolinian, resi- |
dent and nonresident, and all others who
have contributed in any way to the sue
cess of this, the first North Carolina Re
union.
The purposes of the Reunion are three:
First. To furnish an opportunity for
North Carolinians. at home and abroad, |
to renew an strengthen old friendships and
to form new ones.
} Second. To secure for North Carolina
from those who, in the fortunes of life, |
have left her borders and made their homes
elsewhere, the inspiration and instruction
that their varied experience and wider
view make them capable of giving to us
who are actively engaged in the work OF
upbuilding our mother State.
Third. To advertise to the country
North Carolina contribution to Ameri
canship, and to so organize her sons and
daughters, resident and nonresident, that
whatever of good there is in the char
acter, traditions and history of the sturdy
Apld Commonwealth may be impressed upon
