hlgh Point, n. c., OCT 19.-This
was gala day here. Twelve thousand
people assembled on Main street and
up and down the railroad to greet the
president. Everything around the
main railroad crossing was gorgeously
decorated in bunting and flags. The
military was drawn up alongside the
track and the police officers and fire
men formed Il living defense against
The jOStlng crowd.
One half an nour before the train
arrived the twelve hundred school
children OF the city marched in or
der from the :.,hoolS each pupil car
rying a miniature flag and took up
their positions in a given space. The
bands played, the school children
waved their flags and people sent up
a mighty shout when it was given out
that the train was nearing the city.
A minute afterwards the whistle of
a locomotive sounded a warning and
the whistles of High Points one hun
dred factories screamed a mighty well
come. The train sided apparently
noiselessly into the city SO deafening
was the roar of the whistles and stop
ped with the rear car just over the
crossing. The President was already
on the rear platform with others of
the party. and Senator Simmons step
ped forward and said:
Ladies and gentlemen, | present to
you the President:
The President said:
my fellow citizens, let me thank
you most heartily for greeting me here
as you have done.
At this i,ncture two handsome vases
containing choice chrysanthemums
one for President Roosevelt and one
for Mrs. Roosevelt, were presented in
the name of the ladies of High Point
by Chief Marshal Fred N. Fate.
Meanwhile the 1900 school children
cheered and waved flags, and the
President, pointing to them said: II
like them, 1 have several myself.
Naturally . ne continued, 1T is a
great pleasure for me to be
here and to be introduced

President Roosevelt had a good word
for everybody, and soon after his arri-

The party reached the train at

At 1245 the train began slowly to

President was off. AS he passed the
crowd he spoke several times, which
was characteristic of him. showing that
for the sake of good time he threw

enough humor to be a pretty good

Among the things he said were:

"Good-bye goodbye, goodbye

Durham, n. c., Oct 19.-President
Roosevelt arrived here from Raleigh
at 1:55 O'Clock this afternoon. Al
though his train was scheduled to re-
main but five minutes, there was a
large crowd at the station to receive
him. He made a brief address from
the platform of his car and amid
cheers the train pulled out for

In his remarks here, which We're
devoted to the students of Trinity
College, who were gathered in force
to greet him, the President said:
There must be no coercion of
opinion if collegiate training is to
bring forth full fruit. You men of
this college, you men throughout the
South who have had collegiate train
ing, you men throughout the Union
who have had collegiate training,
bear a peculiar burden of response
bility. | want you to have good
time, and / believe you do. l believe
n play with all my heart. Play when
you play, but work while you work,
and remember, that your having gone
through college does not so much
confer a special privilege as it inn
poses q special obligation on you. We
have a right to expect a special quail
ty Of leadership from the men to
whom much has been given in the
way of a collegiate education.
You are not entitled to any special
privilege but you are entitled to be
held to peculiar accountability; you
have earned the right to be held pc
culiarly responsible for what you do.
Each one of you, if he is worth his
salt, wishes, when he graduates to
pay some portion of the debt due to
his alma mater. You have received
from her. during your years of at
| tendance in her halls, certain priVil-
| eyes in the way of scholarship, in the
way of companionship, which makes
| it incumbent upon you to repay what
| you have been given. You cannot re-
pay that to theS college save in one
way. BY the quality of your citizen
| ship as displayed in the actual affairs
| in life you can make it an honor to
| the college to have sent you forth into
| the great world. I earnestly hope and
believe that you and those like you
| in all the collegRE of this land will
make It evident to the generation
| that is rising, you are fit to take lead
ership, tat training has not been
wasted; that you are ready to render
| to the State the kind of service which
| is invaluable. because it cannot be
| bought, because there is no price that
can be put upon it. We have the
right to expect from college men, not
| merely disinterested service bu. in
| telligent service. The few peoples
who exercise government always
have to war, not merely against the
| knaviah man who deliberately does
what he knows to be wrong. but
against the foolish. man who NAV
mean very well. but who in actual
fact turns out the ally of the other
man who does not mean well: and we
must depend upon you men who have
been given special facilities in educa-
| ton to guide our people Alright so
that they shall neither fall into the
| pit of folly nor into the pit of
knavery."

The one social feature of the visit

AT the conclusion of the Presidents

Raleigh.
1t had been planned that Mrs.
Roosevelt was to be the guest OF
Mrs. Jackson during tile time the
President stopped in Charlotte. n
committee of ladies, of which Mrs.
Jackson was the honorary chairman,
having been appointed to entertain
Mrs. Roosevelt while the President
was delivering his speech at Vance
Park.
The fact that the first lady of the
land was unable to leave the car was
a great disappointment to the ladies
of Charlotte.
In greeting Mrs. Jackson the Pres
ident reminded her that one of the
happieSt moments of his official life
was when he signed the commission
of Jackson Christian as a cadet to
West Point: adding that her grand
son was a manly bright boy, worthy
of the great name of his illustrious
grandfather.
At the park the President took
occasion to say that he enjoyed meet
ing North Carolinians, but he would
say unreserVedly that his meeting
with Mrs. Jackson marked the bright
est moment he had spent since leav-
ing Washington.
The crowd that greeted the Presi-
dent was enormous considering thu
short time allowed by the schedule
for the party to remain here. How
ever, Mr.. Roosevelt took matters IN
his own hands and instead of stay
ing in Charlotte % minutes, he re-
manned three-quarters of an hour. In
the course of his remarks he referred
to Charlotte as the birthplace of
American Independence and pointed
with pride to the fact that the Neck
lenburg Declaration of Independence
signed in Charlotte May 20, 1875, was
the forerunner of the great document
signed at Philadelphia several months
later.
The Presidents train left Charlotte
at 8 o'clock, after having remained
on the sidetrack just SO minutes
At Lexington, the county seat of
Davidson, the President was greeted
by several hundred people to whom
he spoke briefly. Davidson is the only
county in North Carolina that gave
President Roosevelt a fajority at
the last National election. He stop
ped at Lexington to extend greetings
to the people and receive a welcome
from the 800 orphan children of tie
asylum there. The little ones made
a pretty sight, waving tiny American
flags as the train came to a stop.
