man here to feel greater pride in the
deeds of every southerner than feel.
Of the children, the brothers and sis
/ tiers Of my mother who were born and
brought up in that house on the hill
! there, my two uncles afterward entered
! the confederate service and served in
the confederate navy
/ One, the younger man, served on the
! Alabama as the youngest officer aboard
/ her. He was captain Of one of her broad
| side 32-pounder in her final fight, and
when at the very end the Alabama was
sinking and the Kersarge passed under
her stern and came up along the side
that had not been engaged hitherto, my
uncle, Irving Bull0ch, shifted his gun
from one side to the other and fired the
last two shots fired from the Alabama.
James Dunwoody Bulloch was an ad-
miral in the confederate service. Of all
the people whom / have ever met he was
the one that came nearest to that beau
tiful creation of Thackeray-Colonel
Newcomb
Men and women, don't you think
have the ancestral right to claim a
proud kinship with those who showed
their devotion to duty as they saw the
duty, whether they wore the gray or
whether they wore the blue? All
Americans who are worthy the name
feel an equal pride in the valor OF those
who fought on one side or the other,
provided only that each did with ali his
strength and soul and mind his duty as
it was given him to see his duty"
The President next was driven to the
old Presbyterian church in which his
grandfather, Jas. Bulloch was once a
leading member. Mr.. Bulloch dropped
dead in his church while teaching
Sunday School class in 1849 and among
those present in the church today were
three members of that class who were
present at the time. The venerable
pastor of the church, Rev. DR.. w E.
Baker, offered prayer and the President
and Mrs. Roosevelt then shook hands
with number of the townspeople, many
of whom had known the Presidents
mother. On the way to the train the
President stopped for moment at the
home of DR.. Baker where he met the
PASTORS wife who was one of his moth
er's bridesmaids.
In the escort, which conducted the
President from his train to the different
points he visited, was w. E. Crockett,
who was member of Col. Roosevelt's
regiment during the Spanish war. In
jiffy, the President had bounded down
the steps, and, to the discontinue of
his secret service men, rushed into the
crowd and grabbed Private" Crockett
by the hand, exclaiming warmly "By
Jove Crockett, old boy, am glad to see
you. You know couldn't eat in there
after 1 saw you for thinking of the
stew we had in Cuba. Do you remem-
Der it 2"
Indeed / do, Colonel" was the quick
reply, which showed that the military
relation between the President and pri-
vate was still paramount
President Roosevelt was then intro
duced to Sheriff Frey. and giant preser.
YER Of the peace in Cobb county, who
stands feet, 8 inches tall, and weighs
325 pounds.
THAT is the man who wants to look
after your personal safety while in
Roswell, explained Senator Clay.
The president studied him moment
in admiration, and said !: well, he
looks like he can do it."
The Roswell people gave the presi-
dent most hospitable and cordial re-
ception.
