Admission to the auditorium waa by ticket only and every seat was occupied. Owing to the long program ar- ranged for the day the formal exer- cises were brief. Addresses of wel- come were delivered on behalf of the cy of Charleston by Mayor Smyth and for the exposition company by President Wagener. President's Speech In hie response the president be- gan by saying he claimed South Carolina aa hia state by inheritance, because his mother's people lived there in colonial days. He touched at length on the reunion of the states, and pald a glowing tribute to the loyalty of the South and the worth of its fighting men, paying particular attention to the Confed- erate veterans and soma of veterans whe <n with distinction tn the war with Spain.

Regarding Corporations Mr. Roosevelt, continuing, sald: “This is an era of great combina- tions, both of labor and capital. In many ways these combinations have worked fer good, but they must work under the law, and all lawe concerning them must be just and wise, or they will inevitably do evil. This applies mueh to the richest corporations as to the most powerful labor union. Folowing these formalities came the presentation of a handsome sword to Maj. Micah Jenkins by the president, on Dehalf of the people of South Carolina, Many Speakers The president made a few felicit- ous remarks appropridte to the oc. easion and paid a high personal trt- bute to the recipient of the gift who had distinguished himself as a mem- ber of Col.
