gala attire and business was practical
ly suspended that all might greet the
distinguished guest South Carolina,
i'm the person of Governor Hayward,
added its welcome to the south.
Threatening clouds of the early
morning failed ia loose their weight OF
rain, and although chilling wind pre-
vailed through the entire day. 1t failed
TO cool the ardor of the welcome.
Numerous extra trains brought their
burden of Georgians from the SUR
rounding country, and II was estimat-
ed that not less than 100000 persons
saw and welcomed the president
The presidential train came into the
handsome new station exactly on time
and as il appeared threading its way
through the maze of tracks In the
yards it was given "A noisy welcome by
all the steam whistles in that part of

The president said
Here I'm this great industrial center.
IN this city which Is a typical SOUTH
ern city, and therefore typical
American city, II Is natural To consid-
er certain phases OF the many-sided
industrial problem which this gener-
alton has to solve. In this world of
lurs it is practically impossible to
get success of any kind on large
| scale without paying something for
IT, The exceptions to the rule are too
few To warrant our paying heed to
hem; and az rule IL may be said
that something must be paid as an
'ffset tor everything we get and for
everything We accomplish. This is
| lotably true OF our Industrial life.
fhe problems which we of America
| 1ave to face today are very serious.
1ut we viii do to remember that after
| al they are only part of the price
which we have TO pay for the trl-
mphs We have won, for the high po-
| ltlon to which We have attained. IL
Ne We're backward and stationary
ountry we would not have to face
| these problems az all. but | think that
| most OF us are agreed that to be back
ward and stationary would be alto
| tether TOO heavy price to pay for
he avoidance of the problems IN
| question. There are no labor troubles
where there is no work to be done
| ~ labor. There are no troubles about
corporations whore the poverty Of the
ommunity Is such that il Is not worth
| While 10 form corporations There is
40 difficulty In regulating railroads
whore the resources OF region are
20 Few that 1t does not pay TO build
railroads. There are many excellent
people who shake their heads over the
ldimlculties that as nation we now
have Ia face; but their melancholy is
not warranted save In very partial
degree, for most of the things of
which they complain are the inevita-
BILE accompanlments OF the growth
md greatness of which we are proud.
Now, | do not wish to be misun-
derstood. | DO not for one moment
mean To say that there are not many
md serious evils with which we have
70 grapple, or that there are not un-
healthy signs In the body social and
polite. but | do mean TO say that
while we must not show a foolish op-
timism we must no less beware OK
mere blind pesslmism. There a
Every reason why We should be visI<
liant IN searching out what Is wrong
md unninchingly res0lute IN striving
, 70 remedy It. But al the same tiuft
we must not blind ourselves TO what
has been accomplished for good. and
above all We must not lose our heads
and become either hysterlcal or ram
corous Ia grappIlng with what II hHd.
