PRESIDENT WILL REACH
WHITE HOUSE TODAY
CONTINUED FROM PAGE II

freme elf,consFaffSII alton on nv narf to
have from your distinguished men and
from the people of a state like this such
a cordial welcome.
II observe that you count good deal
on the long leaf pine, and l congratulate
you that you are the third or fourth
state in the treasure of timber In the
United States. But L urge upon you the
history of the timber treasures of other
states and its destruction which ought to
teach you in the preservation of that
which makes your state rich today among
the states.
I'VE have reached time in the his
tory of this country when If we would
have timber at all we must pursue the
common sense course of treating 1t in
such a way that 1t will reproduce itself,
and of cutting it in such way that we
will not destroy 1t altogether We must
preserve it from destructive fires, and we
must take steps of caution and precau-
ton in order to do trat. You have with
in the boundary of your state gentle
man named Vanderbilt who has gone be-
| fore any one in the science of forestry,
and l congratulate you upon having that
| example, that thereby you may formulate
laws which shall preserve to you the
! timber of your state, continuing your
wealth and prosperity.
Agricultural Wealth.
II congratulate the people of North
Carolina that next to the state of Mis-
sissippi it has population more devoted
TO the soil and its cultivation than any
other state in the union. You do not
have large cities, and I do not think that
defect at all in your civilization. The
fact is that the tendency toward concen-
tration of population In the cities is
tendency that should be restrained
Il had the pleasure TODAY of seeing
and hearing the beautiful songs of the
children, white and colored, in this city,
and l am glad to note that in the jour
ney which l have taken Of 1900 miles
that has been an especial feature of
every greeting which / have had. IN
Chicago we had Is miles Of children,
10000, from whose yelling voices one
took the national hymn in a way that
inspired one as nothing else could, and
from that time on it has been given to
me as the temporary head OF the nation
to see this growing generation stepped,
l may say. in patriotism.
II had the pleasure also of being re-
ceived by the Confederate veterans of
Wilmington, and 1 thank them for their
kindly welcome-silver- haired, some of
them lettering, but all of them full of
good will, full of loyalty, cherishing the
traditions of a noble past, but glad to
welcome the representative of a united
country. You have. indeed. made history
In this, your neighborhood. Today 1t was
given me to go down to Fort Fisher,
where that dreadful battle and carnage
was fought, to see how much lead could
be pumped from one side into the fort of
another, and what enduring sacrifice the
opponents could make.
"All that history you cherish and we

end in connection with the origin Of the
chrysanthemum. tho London Globe
says. In a garden, bathed in the soft
moonlight, a young girl plucked a flow
er and commenced to strip the petals to
see if her iance loved her truly. or a
sudden a little god appeared before her
and assured her that her fiance loved
her passionately. Your husband will
live, he added, as many years as the
flower, which l will let you choose, has
petals. With these words he disappear
ed. The young girl fastened to search
the garden for a flower which should
have an abundance of petals, but each
one appeared to promise but a brief fu-
ture for her beloved.
At length she picked a Persian carna-
ton, and, with the aid Of a gold pin,
taken from her hair, she separated each
of the petals Of the flower, so as to in
crease the number Of folioles and of
the number of years accorded by the
girl to her fiance. Soon, under her
deft fingers, one, two, three hundred
petals, thin, plant and bea utifully curry
ed, had been evolved, and the young
girl cried for Joy to think of the happy
future which her ruse had assured her

In regard to changing the time of cleo

said legislation held up until he could be

forwarded expressing his wishes. The
Governor replied that the bills had been
held up, and that copies of the sa ne had
been mailed to the President. One of the
measures would prevent the the owner

ANTI-JAP BILL FAILS.

There is TO be no anti-Japanese leg

emphatically declared by the Assembly
Wednesday when, after an all-day de-
bate. Drew'S anti-alien bill was beaten
by the decisive vote of As to IS. AS
the bin would require forty-one votes
to become Il law, it was thirteen short
Of Il majority.
The work of the Presidents big stick
and of the Governors war club was
apparent in the way in which men who
originally proclaimed themselves anti
japanese dropped away from the bills
when the test came. Even Speaker
stanton and .ASSemDlymnn Leeds. who
led the fight against the Drew bill.
were surprised at the completeness OF
their victory. as they had not expected
the bill would fail by more than three
or four votes.
The other bills aimed at the Japan
csc are to come up. but their fate was
forct"ld by Wednesdays vote, and it
looks very much as if the japanese agi-
tation was Il closed question for this
session.
Said Governor Gillett after the re-
suit of the Assembly was old to him:
1T is very gratifying to know that
the members Of the Assembly took the
stand that they did, know that the
President will also feel pleased. mas
much as he will think that the legis-
lators know that Washington is able to
take care of the situation. Legislation
Of this kind coming at this time will
prevent Eastern capital from coming in
and taking advantage Of the
of the State. The anti-alien and anti
japanese legislation has created a fu-
rore throughout the East, and it wifi
