Foreword
Pursuant to and in compliance with the foregoing resolution of the Board of Managers the task therein imposed is assumed in the hope that its fulfilment may justify the confidence thereby reposed.
The idea of a Reunion of the non-resident sons and daughters of North Carolina originated in the fertile brain of Dr. Charles D. McIver, the distinguished president of the State Normal College. It was at his suggestion and chiefly by his efforts that the city of Greens- boro, in her official capacity. and through her various business organi- zations, was induced to adopt the idea and plan for its successful development and execution. Encouraged by the ready enthusiasm with which his idea was received. Dr. MeIver submitted it to Governor Aycock, who in turn communicated it with his hearty indorsement to the General Assembly (then in session). The result was a ringing resolution unanimously adopted by the General Assembly, in which the hearty concurrence of the State was pledged to the furtherance of the plan and in extending "to the absent sons and daughters a welcome hearty and sincere ".
The movement thus projected having met with such spontaneous and cordial indorsement by the press and the people of North Carolina, and with such generous and enthusiastic response from former resi- dents in other States and countries. it was deemed advisable to crystal- ize the sentiment in an organization for promoting an Annual Reunion or Old-Home Week. It was, therefore, decided to organize a permanent Reunion Association under a regular charter, which has been granted, in order to establish permanently an Annual Reunion or Old-Home Week for North Carolinians scattered throughout the country, and in order that it may be held annually on a more extended and desirable scale. At an informal meeting of the charter members and other stockholders of this Association held in the rooms of the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Club. in the city of Greensboro, in August, 1903, an executive committee, consisting of Honorable James E. Boyd, Dr. Charles D. McIver, Mr. J. A. Odell, Mr. Robert R. King, Captain J. W. Fry, and Mr. George S. Bradshaw, was appointed with authority and full power to devise the plan, scope, and details of the First North

First North Carolina Reunion
Carolina Reunion. and with instructions to report the same to a mass- meeting of the citizens of Greensboro to be held in the Grand Opera House at a later date to be fixed by said committee.
Accordingly, and agreeable to its instructions, this committee, after many conferences and much work, extending over many days, formu- lated and completed the plan and scope of the Reunion, selected the various committees, and mapped out the work of each. So thorough and satisfactory was its work that its report in full and in detail was unanimously adopted by the said mass-meeting. From this report, submitted through Judge Boyd. and supplemented by him with a stirring and eloquent appeal to this mass-meeting, started the final wave of enthusiasm which culminated in the glorious success of the First North Carolina Reunion. It was deemed appropriate to fix the date of the beginning of the Reunion proper upon the twelfth of Octo- ber, which is by statute "North Carolina Day", upon which day the schools and colleges of the State suspend their regular work, and devote the day to the study of North Carolina history. This, in brief, is the history of the origin of the movement, and in the following pages will be found the details of its development and execution. Whilst this hasty compilation does not aspire to the dignity of histori- cal work, and whilst many of the utterances recorded in the following pages were extempore and inspired by the occasion, the editor is induced to believe that scattered through its pages are many facts and much material which are worthy to be preserved, and which will appeal not in vain to North Carolina's future historian. In the perusal of these pages the reader will readily recognize and appreciate the embar- rassment of the editor and compiler in the attempt to present the quantity and variety of the material at his disposal in the most attrac- tive form. Without precedent in the line of this peculiar task he is left to the defects of his own judgment and taste, and to the charity of those who may read or review with eritie's lense the compilation and arrangement of matters herein treated. Its chief, if not its only, charm is the distinctive North Carolina flavor with which its pages are spiced.
Invoking and trusting to the joyous spirit of the occasion, the editor does not hesitate to assure the reader that there will be found in the utterances inspired by the First Reunion of non-resident and resident North Carolinians gems rare and racy from every field of thought and from every line of toil in which North Carolinians have wrought and won in the uplifting and upbuilding of themselves, their communities, their States, and the great institutions of their country. Nor does the writer hesitate to place on record the fact that the First North Carolina Reunion was a decided success. It was a success in its fine and joyous
11
First North Carolina Reunion
spirit, in its purpose to foster a beautiful fraternal feeling, in the large attendance from home, in its home-gathering of "absent sons and daughters", in the renewal of old associations, in the cementing of old ties, in the hearty hand-clasp of old friendships and in the forma- tion of new ones, in the heart-to-heart and face-to-face mingling of kith and kin, in the inspiration and instruction imparted. in seeing and knowing what manner of men the old mother has reared and loaned to other States, in showing whatever of good those at home have done and wrought, in the burial of all political and other asperities, in giving vent to the genuine Tarheel pride of home and love of kin, in the filial renewal of allegiance to the sacred claim of both, in the larger knowledge and keener appreciation of the good in all, in the affectionate acknowledgments of the returning children, and in the tender benedictions of the old mother's love.
This modest volume is designed to be a mere souvenir, and as such aspires only to be a simple record of the first Reunion, including com- ments thereon and utterances inspired thereby, and embracing engrav- ings of some of the Carolinians-resident and non-resident-who figured therein and contributed thereto, and is published with the sin- cere and sole purpose of stimulating State pride and fostering a greater love of the old Mother.

Special Message of the Governor
The Honorable, the General Assembly:
The city of Greensboro, in her official capacity, and through various organizations having their headquarters there, has planned a reunion of and reception for all the non-resident native North Carolinians, to be held in Greensboro on North Carolina Day. October 12, 1903. It is the desire that this be made a notable occasion. I am requested to ask your honorable body to join with the city of Greensboro and the organizations in extending an invitation to those of our citizens who have made their homes elsewhere. Our sons and daughters abroad have not forgotten the State, nor has the State forgotten them. We want to see them face to face, and learn what they have done abroad, and show them what we are doing here. The occasion will be one of great pleasure, and not without profit to all concerned. I gladly join with the good city of Greensboro and her people in the invitation which they are extending. I trust that your honorable body may do likewise.
Very respectfully,
CHARLES B. AYCOCK, Governor.

Honorable Charles B. Aycock Governor of North Carolina
Resolution of the General Assembly
WHEREAS. The city of Greensboro, through its chief executive and its Industrial and Immigration Association and Young Men's Business Association, has planned a Reunion of non-resident native sons and daughters of North Carolina to be held at Greensboro, on "North Carolina Day", October 12, 1903; and
WHEREAS, It is eminently fitting that on a day set apart by the Gen- eral Assembly as one devoted to fostering a patriotic love of the Com- monwealth and people, all sons and daughters of the State should meet together on the soil that gave them birth, and there renew the bonds of love and allegiance to a common mother ; therefore, be it
RESOLVED by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring, that in hearty concurrence with this expressed purpose of our city of Greensboro, the State of North Carolina unites in extending to the absent sons and daughters of the State a cordial invitation, and in assuring them of a welcome both hearty and sincere.
13
The Serious Purposes of the Reunion
First. To furnish an opportunity for North Carolinians at home and abroad to renew and cement old friendships and to form new ones.
Second. To secure for North Carolina from those who in the for- tunes of life have left her borders and made their homes elsewhere the inspiration and instruction that their varied experience and wider view make them capable of giving.
Third. To advertise to the country North Carolina's contribution to American citizenship, and to so organize her sons and daughters, resident and non-resident, that whatever of good there is in the char- acter, traditions, and history of the sturdy old commonwealth may be impressed upon our national life.
CHARLES D. MCIVER.

Welcome Home
2
A Mother's Welcome-Blood-Warm and Heart-Flavored Thrice Welcome to Heart and Home
The Old North State opens wide her arms to the wandering son whose face is homeward set, and to the wandering daughter who jour- neys back with beaming smile and queenly step, or with furrowed cheek and measured footfall, to the playground of youth, to bask again in the sunbeams that break from the rosy dawn of childhood.
It matters not whether the absent son was led by ambition's goal to wander away and out from the gate of the old homestead, or was driven by the fierce storm of war, or by the mad winds of ill-fortune, or by the heavy hand of necessity or environment, his home-coming shall be joyous: for he shall find his name-be it ever so humble- sweetly embalmed in the memory of some unforgotten love. Nor shall it matter whether on land or sea he has scaled the dizzy heights of fame, or wanders in the valley of the grim shadow of "riotous living" and dire want. there shall be for him somewhere within our gates a welcome wet with the tears of joy.
We shall not pause to ask whether the absent daughter comes with laurel or with cross: nor shall we take note of purple linen or lack of fad or style ; but with glad heart and generous hand we shall surrender every key to every heart and every home and bid uncrowned woman- hood, whether garlanded with trophy or veiled with cypress, enter and take the earth and the fulness thereof.
Flesh of our flesh, bone of our bone, blood of our blood, spirit of our spirit, our welcome to them shall be as free, bounteous, and warm as October's sunshine of our sunny clime.
The mill, the shop, the farm, the office, the bank, the school. the church-all shall stop and stand with doors-both back and front- unlocked and wide open.
And with every curtain up-with every eye alert and every heart aglow-with every home and every door and every avenue wide open, we shall show them the sturdy old Commonwealth still rolling and luxuriating in the matchless resources of an Empire ; but in a new and steadier light, living a better life, on a higher plane, with stronger faith and brighter promise.
And from blue wave to white peak all with one acclaim shall join in the ever-fresh and ever-joyous outburst of the glad Father in the prodigal parable, "Bring Hither the Fatted Calf".
