south Carolina covered herself with
glory, exceeding all other statos that

number of visitors collected, and in
the military display maze. Since yes
terday morning scores of trains loaded
with South Carolinans have rolled Into
the city, ana n fair estimate places
the number OF CnrOlnans now In the
city at 1000 TO 1900.

he humorously remarked that II he
did not appreciate the beauty of the
women of South CAROLINA, Georgia

linans ON behalf of the exposition.
Governor Evans responded on the
part of the state. He said that to
say that he thanked Georgia for Its
kindly welcome seemed cold, coming
from a mother to her daughter, for
Georgia was daughter of South Caro-

and guyed Governor Evans about be-
ing unmarried. This completed the ex-
ercises.
The senration of the day was the
new departure taken by Evans and
Tillman. Up to this time all the
speeches delivered at the exposition,
whether by Northern or Southern men,
had been pitched on the key note OF
fraternity and friendship. Evans and
Tlllmnn struck on different line,
however. the governor declaring In a
dramatic manner that the South pro-
posed TO rule this country. and TIL
man going out OF his way TO attack
the president. and abuse Northern PEN
Sl0nera.
