He said the large audience presel

Z President Of the United States. III
! spoke OF the development of the Sout

, skill, money or enterprise, as man
would have it. But that no foreig

, Mr.. Inman was then introduced an
welcomed the Carolinians on behalf @
J the Exposition. He was surprised q
the excellent military display made b,
the State, and he had been amazed a
the variety OF its products and the inn
mense possibilities of the future de
yelopments.
Governor Evans replied to the vel
come given by Governor Atkinson ant
Mr.. Infnan. He said that to simply
thank the people of Atlanta and the
State of Georgia for the kind welcome
bestowed would be cold and unfeeline
words for q mother to say to her daugh
ter.
Governor Evans said Georgia was
the noble and virtuous daughter o!
South Carolina, and that he was proud
OF her, He thanked Georgia for pro-
tecting his State from the Indiana
years ago, and said he would always be

He resented the words of Governor
Atkinson about South Carolina not
being able to appreciate the beauty OF
women.
THE governor OF Georgia surely
does not know me-" said he, and the
audience applauded. He thought his
State had brought the prettiest wo-
men on earth to the exposition, and
| felt his own unworthiness when he
stood in the presence OF a South Caro-
lima woman.
South Carolina is proud Of the
women OF her State. Proud of what
they have been in the past, and proud
of what they are. now az the present
time.
This is Thanksgiving day. Georgia
and South Carolina could exclaim with
no particle of hypocrisy that she
was not as other people. South Caro-
lima is different from many States, but
there is no difference between her and
her daughter-Georgia. Though we
are separated by the Savannah, l
believe like our lamented and i'm
mortal Grady, that the river is more
Of bond than q boundary"
He spoke of Of the days when the
two States marched side by side to
victory and TO defeat, and was thank
full that those days were over, and over
forever. South Carolina had always
done what she thought was right, and
she had no apologies to make. Though
the conflicts sometimes were severe
and bloody, the grand old State had
never been compelled to withdraw for
repairs, and never would.
Governor Evans spoke of the effect
OF secession, and believed that the day
would soon dawn when the South
would get what 1t wanted. He thanked
God that things were no worse, and
hoped to see them much better before
many years.
His speech was delightfully."- de-
livered, and he was literally applauded
when he sat down.
SENATOR TILLMAN'S ADDRESS.
"Mr President, Ladies and Gentle
men-The good book tells us that there
is time for all things, but / do not
speaking"
A voice: Hurrah for Tillman he
has sense"
Tillman: "They say that hungry
people h we no ears, tlaughter) and
you here who would like to have
sandwich about now. I shall, there
fore. not trespass on your attention too
long. This is not an occasion for long
speaking. l have no set speech pre-
pared. / don't know how to make set
speeches. / have been in prompt at
tendance upon our constitutional con-
vention for ten weeks and 1 didn't
know until about six days ago that
there was the slightest chance for me
to come to Atlanta and see what she
and the South had to show. Our con-
stitutional convention adjourned on
Tuesday afternoon, after eight days'
constant work for ten hours day in
order to get through in time to come
here. got to Atlanta yesterday even
ing at o'clock and, being worn out,
went to bed, and had no time to have
fixed set speech If 1 had wanted to,
and besides, what do come to Georgia
to talk to South CarOlinians for, any
way. for it seems TO me that every man
| meet is South .Carolinian and has
been saying all day, Howdy do, Ben?'
and Howdy, Governor all UP and
down the streets to such an extent that
thought [ was at State fair, and
see 80 many familiar faces here and
realize so clearly that probably two
thirds OF you have heard me before
that know it would be imposing upon
you to make more than a very few
brief remarks.
81 came here not to brag. leave
that TO our young Governor. He Ia
young and green and besides he has
such an acute realization OF interpre-
| tation of our State motto. 'Animus,
| Oberbusoue Arati.' The only thing
| that know that he hasn't any sense
| ABOUT whatever is women. With as
young and handsome {. face as he has
got and reasonable amount of brain
and pretty fair character, for him to
| geJ up here and tell these ladies that
he in contemplating their beauty, has
such a realization of his own unworthi-
ness that he can not afford to put hun
self on one, is very good. He knows
! that every woman here who isn't mar
red wants q husband. It's 'agin natur
for woman to do anything else, and
they say aud cay for him that III, by
reason of his unworthiness, he has
been unable thus far to induce any o.
our fair daughters to take him ard try
to cultivate those little locks Of hail
that are growing so thin, that he
ought TO do like L did. / came jntt
your State when L was a boy before
