A FRIEND OF THE snurH.

That President Roosevelt is a
friend Of the south is shown by let
ter he wrote in September. and which
was not published during the cam,
2aign because the motives might
have been misconstrued.
1t was written in response to q
letter Col. Mosby showed the presi-
dent from Thos. II. Roulhac. of Ala
bama, in which Attorney RoulhaC
took occasion to regret southern criti-
cism of the president, and is as fol
lows:
Oyster Bay. n. Y, Sept. 10.-My
Dear Col. Mostly: That was a fine
letter of Roulhac's, and | appreciate
it. ! have always been saddened
rather than angered by the attacks
upon me in the south. | am a half
southerner myself, and | can say with
all possible sincerity that the inter
ests of the south are exactly as dear
to me as the interests of the north.
Sincerely yours.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
II is more than probable that Pres
ident Roosevelt will soon convince
the people of the south that he is a
friend of the south as much as of the
north. east or west.
Just watch and see.
