Many' prominent .officials were present, in eluding1 Gov ernor MeSweeney. Music was furnish- ied by the artillery iband of Sullivan's island. The president's drive through the city today -was attended toy the greatest en thusiasm. Flags were waved and he was heartily cheered by the large crowds gathered along the route. During the president's visit to Fort Sumter he waa much impressed by the soldier-like precision of Sergei it Hart, One of the men engaged in operating the disappearing gun. He asked the sergeant where he was from, and Hart replied, "Texas." The president said: "I am always interested in a non-cam-missioned officer." He shook hands warmly with Sergeant Hart as h left. While the president iwas aboard the revenue cutter Algonquin, making the tour of Charleston waters, he espied a former rough Tider, Major Micah Jen kins. "You old tramp," exclaimed the pres ident.

Roosevelt then took Jenkins to task for not call ing on him recently when in "Washing ton and told him If he did it again it would not !be good for him.

The hope of President Roosevelt last night that he might see sunshine In the morning was fully realized. The downpour of rain which had marked the trip almost from the moment of departure, ceased, the : heavy, black clouds disappeared and ithe day (broke with a cloudless sky. 1 dent seemed in high spirit and - The journey to Charleston was made entirely without accident.- To guard against any possibility o this nature, the Southern Railway ' Officials sent a pilot engine ahead of i the presidteJit's DEWRATIC POLL Tl SCHEME t EXPOSED IN AN ADDRESS TO THE ' PEOPLE BY REPUBLICAN yf" CHAIRMANTPBITCHARD.

After the committee and.sruests had enne aboard the "Algonquin" started on a to'ur of the harbor. Passing down Cooper river a fine view of the dity and the opening of the bay was presented. The weather was perfect. There Was not a cloud in the sky and a gentle breeze blew from the oceam with just a bracing touch in it and not ' .chill enough to require overcoats. Passing into the bay the "Algonquin,, came abreast of the cruiser "Cincinnati." whose decks were manned with all her crew as well as the "Tooeka" ahd "Lancaster." As the president's vessel passed each fired a salute of twenty one guns. Off the fortifications of Sul livan's Island the "Algonquin" was greeted with the same welcome and she passed to the ocean, with gay streamers amid a chorus of guns. Just a little run ito the sea and the "Algonquin" turned about and re-entered the harbor, passing around his toric Port Sumpter. While steaming- up the bay luncheon was served in the cabin of the cutter. A short run was made up the Ashley river, giving1 a vliew of the city's western water front, and then the ship was headed back for the landing where a troop of the Charleston Light Dragoons was in waiting to es cort the president to his headquar ters at the St. John's-hotel.

Special to the Gazette. Greensboro, N. C April 8. Senator Pritchard. chairman of the republican state committee today gave 'out the fol lowing for publication: To the People of North Carolina: Some of the democratic newspapers are trying to create the impression that It is the intention of the republican committee to pay the poll tax of all those who are not able to pay their taxes before the first day-of May. The statement is without foundation, and, in my opinion, is made for the purpose of diverting the attention of the pub lic from the policy which I understand they propose to pursue with respect to the poll tax question. I am iniormed that the leaders of the democratic par ty propose to try to induce the county commissioners in the various counties where they are in control to release from payment of poll tax all those who fpitrto pay their taxes on or before the flft day of May, provided they agree to vote the democratic ticket, regardless i&f the fact as to whether or not they ftome within the provisions of the stat- Xite which authorizes the commission- discretion. That there are a number l sure that between 30,000 and 40,000 white men will be denied the right to vole at the coming election In consequence , of this provision. I earnestly appeal 'to the people in every section of the state to at once take such steps as will oe necessary to impress the voters" with the importance of paying their taxes between now and Jhe first day of May. The disfranchisement of any number of our citizens by this provision of our constitution would" be a great outrage, and it should be the ambition of every individual to do what he can to pre vent such a deplorable resul. The people of North Carolina who earn their living. by daily labor are re quired to work the public roads and per form other public duty, and in time of war a majority of those who go to the front to fight the battles of their coun try come from their ranks, and in view of the fact that these duties are incident i to their citizenship, the action of the J framers of this particular clause of our wuHuiuuon can ue accju- iQ ror upon no other hypothesis than . that they were of the opinion that such provision would result in preventing this class of people from participating in the man agement and control of our public af fairs. Had not such been the case they would have provided that all those who paid their poll tax on or before th first day of October should be entitled to vote. I appeal to each individual voter in the state to use all means within his power to pay his poll tax on or before the first day of May in order that he may be i in a position! on election day to rebuke the authors of this unreasonable re , quirement.

He referred to the war with Spain and 6aid sons of the morth and of the south, side 'by side, shoulder to shoul der, fought until the power of Spain was broken in the western world. It attest ed the fact that the men who made and withstood Pickett's charge at Get tysburg could clasp hands over the graves of fallen heroes. Continuing he said: "It was a southern boy who first planted Ithe stars and stripes on for engn soil. It was a southern boy who first gave up his fair life in this cause, and. the cold, still form of Ensign Bag- ley, wrapped about with the folds of his country's flag, was laid to rest amid the lamentations of a reunited coun try." He closed by expressing pleasure that the president had come, for -it enabled them to show that they knew how to welcome him. President Roosevelt, responding, ex pressed his gratification at the cordial welcome extended him. He said he felt entirsely at home in Charleston, and de clared every citizen "worth his salt" should feel at home in every part of the United states. He dwelt on the uniting effect the recent war had on- all sections and re ferred Ito his associa'tfion in Washington with SOuth Carolina's former governor, Hugh Thompson, for whom he ejxpress- ( Continued on fourth page) 1 f .

The provision au thorizing them to do so is a wise one, and should be exercised in a spirit of liberality, While the republicans regret exceed ingly to know that any citizen or this state is to'be denied the right to vote on accbunt of not being a"ble to pay his poll tax before the first day of May, at the same time they recognize the fact that the payment of such taxes by any political party would result in inaug urating a system in our state, perni cious in character, and one that Would do much to corrupt the morals of our people. While this is true as to the payment of the poll tax by any political party, the policy which I understand is proposed to be inaugurated by the dem, ocrats would 'be equally obnoxious and would be a great injustice to the tax payers of the state, as well as a cruel disregard of the rights of the poor chil dren whose education depends in a great measure upon the amount of the public school fund, wrhich would necessarily be depleted to a very great extent if such policy should be adopted. Such action however, would be in harmony with the recent amendment to our constitution, inasmuch as its framers saw fit to fix the first day of May as the date on which all poll tax" should be paid rather than postpone the payment of the same to a later date which would have af forded almost every citizen in the state an opportunity to comply with its pro visions in this respect. Reports from different counties in the state disclose the fact that thousands of our citizens have failed to pay their poll tax, and unless something is done to arouse' the people, to the importance of promptly paying their taxes I am Nothiri I;' X' - While It rains sow Wood's Lawn Grass. 25c.
