One of the Most Inter.
esting Incidents Of His
Southern Trip.
EFFORTS TO PROMOTE
SOUTHERN LITERATURE
Mrs. Lindsay Patterson, Of North Car
oIina, Presents Massive Gold Cup
Studded With Uncut Jewels in
Memory of Father.
(By Annie Kendrck Walker, in Bir.
mingham Age-Herald.)

(By Annie Kendrick Walker, in Bir-
mingham Age-Herald.)
One of the most interesting incidents
of President Roosevelt's Southern trip
was his presentation at the executive
mansion i'm Raleigh, n. c., of the
William Houston Patterson memorial
cup, the gift of Mrs. Lindsay Patter-
son, daughter of the late Colonel Pat
terson, of Philadelphia, to the North
Carolina Historical Society.
The ceremony took place in the
Senate Chamber, about one hundred
especially invited guests witnessing it,
among them being, besides President
and Mrs. Roosevelt, Mr.. and Mrs.
Lindsay Patterson, of Winston-Salem,
Lieutenant Governor Winston, the
State officials, the judges of the Su
preme Court, the officers of the State
Literary and Historical Society and
other distinguished guests.
The conditions under which the cup
was presented to the State of North
Carolina require that the winner of
the cup must be a native born North
Carolinian who produces the most
notable literary work during the year.
At the end of ten years it is to be-
come the property of the person who
shall have won it the greatest number
of times.
Mrs. Patterson selected as judges in
the annual contest, the presidents of
the North Carolina Literary and His
torical societies. the occupants of the
chairs of history at the University of
North Carolina and Trinity College,
and the occupants of tho chairs of lit
erature at the University and David
son and Wake Forest colleges. The
judges made their decision a short
time ago and the announcement that
Mr.. John Charles McNeill, of Char
lotte. and on the staff of the Observer,
was the winner of the cup this year
was received with much interest.
The fact that the first presentation
of the cup was made by President
Roosevelt gave the occasion a nationai
significance, and the approval of the
President is all the more significant,
because he is a man of letters, a
writer of literature and a patron of
all that is best in the literature of his
native land.
The Presidents words in presenting
the cup to Mr. McNeIl were 'incisive.
clear cut. practical. as they always are
and i'm a few moments, 1t is said that
he expressed his sincere interest in the
promotion of Southern literature, and
the pleasure it gave him to sanction
a movement in which one of the illus
triouS thirteen States perpetuated the
achievements of its great men in the
past"
Mr.. McNeill in replying said: "Mr.
President, my Joy in this golden
trophy is heightened by the fortune
which permits me to take it from the
hand of the foremost citizen of the
world. To you, sir, to Mrs. Lindsay
Patterson. our gracious matronS of let
ters and in the committee of scholars
whose judgment was kind to me. all
thanks"
