Following the presidents address,
Col. Graves introduced Gov. Hayward
Of South Carolina, as the guest second
In honor only to the nations chief.
Gov. Hayward added his welcome to
the president In behalf of his state to
the south to that already extended by
Georgia. He said In part:
In response to the introduction, Gov.
Hayward said:
1.-THE president of the United States
has today been most cordially welcom-
ed to Georgia, both by distinguished
officials of this state and by a great
outpouring Of the people. He has been
welcomed not only because Of his
high Office, but he has been welcomed
as a typical American; not only as the
head of mighty nation. but as the son
Of a Georgia mother.
From the very earliest history of
our country, even before the Stars
and Stripes-the flag Of our forefath-
ers and our flag today-floated above
only the Thirteen States, Georgia and
South Carolina have been almost as
one state. They have each acted un-
der the same patriotic inspiration, and
today 1t Is to me a great pleasure to
have the opportunity Of crossing over
the river and here in the capital city
of our sister state, extending with you
Georgians, a southern welcome to your
distir guished guest.
"I have on a number Of occasions
been the recipient of Georgia hospitali-
ty, and 1t Is more than a pleasure to
me to be present on this occasion; 1t
in an honor and privilege. The great
heart Of the south was never more
responsive to the cordial and fraternal
pulsa: ions of a reunited country than
1t Is now: never before did the great
interests of a great nation blend with
more Of the patriotic hopes Of a great
people.
I'VE of the south, Mr.. President,
spc aking of this south, which has ever
played is part in the history of our
nation, welcome you to that portion Of
our common country where the golden
sun shining from the blue Of southern
skies is no brighter than the warm
gov of this gracious hospitality.
This hospitality is honored, Mr..
President, by your presence today.
Atlanta, my friends, stands for the
south. In this city is exemplified the
erergy, the growth and the wonderful
progress Of our people, and so, the
president, our foremost American,
stands prominently for all that is in
cluded in the brief compass of this
pregnant sentence. His strong per-
sonality, his manly independence, his
vigorous characteristics, his intense
Americanism-these have brought that
widening influence which stamps him
as the typical leader Of the greatest
nation upon Gods universe.
1.-The first visit which you, sir, made
to the south, as president, was to my
state, and the welcome which you re-
ceived here today recalls to me the
welcome given you upon that occasion.
And I well recall how you stirred every
heart In that vast audience when your
first public utterance on Carolina soil
was: My mother came from Georgia
1.-The demonstration here today Is
only another evidence Of the pleasure
1t affords your southern countrymen to
have you among them, sharing their
hospitality. We all regret that your
journey must necessarily be so hurried,
and you must allow me to hope that
on your next visit to the south-for
you will come again-we may have you
once more a guest Of my state. May
this be at no distant date, and you
will find that a South Carolina well
come can be even as gracious, as hos
pitable and as sincere as Is this Geor-
ia greeting today.
The president of the United States
is welcome not only to Georgia, but to
every part of the south. In no portion
of our country is to be found greater
respect for the high office which Is
yours than is found with us. Today,
while remembering the past, we are
looking to the future. Today we feel
that there Is work for all; RESPONSE
bility for all, and glory for all; glori-
Gus heritage in common country for
all! In the words of great Georgian,
your own Grady, we have resolved to
the spectacle of a republic compact,
united indissoluble in the bonds Of love
serene and respondent at the
summit of human achievement and
earthly glory!' May each Of US act
well our part in our country's cause.
Welcome, Mr.. Roosevelt, to the land
Of your mother-welcome, Mr.. Presi-
dent, to our beautiful land Of Dixie!"
In closing Gov. Hayward proposed
the health of Mrs. Roosevelt, already
on her way to Washington. and the
pretty compliment was responded to
by the entire company standing.
During the dinner the band station
ed on the veranda played a number
Of The national airs, among others "The
Star Spangled Banner" AS he recog-
nized the familiar strains. the presi-
dent sprang to his feet, followed by all
present, seemingly forgetful Of his
surroundings. AS Dixie" broke on
the air, he waved his hand in time to
the music and Joined in the cheers.
