Auditorium.
Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 2s.-Atlanta day, Sa-
vannah day, Inman day and South Caro-
lima day packed the exposition grounds
with people The crowd was nearly three
times as large as the largest up to this
date. Every building was crowded and
the thoroughfares were packed. Atlanta
seemed to be full to overhowing at an
early hour, but the crowds continued to
pour in ali day, and at the exposition
the turnstiles clicked steadily from early
morning until late in the afternoon.
The military display was the greatest
ever seen in Atlanta. Two thousand Of
the flower of South Carolina's enlisted
troops came as an escort to Gov. Evans,
and they were acf mpanied in the pa
rade by Gov. All lson and staff. the
Fifth Georgia regi ent and the Atlanta
artillery.
The best Of ordA prevailed and the
programme was carried out without a
hitch. The people though everywhere
jostling one another, were good humored
and everybody seemed to be happy The
whole Of Atlanta was out on a holiday.
The stores and Offices closed, and the
business portion of the city had sun
day appearance. The happiest people are
the exposition directors, as to-day's re-
ceipts insure the financial success of the
fair beyond the shadow of a doubt
The only sensation of the day was
sprung in the speeches at the auditorium,
where new departure was taken by Gov
Evans and Senator Tilman OF South Car
olna. Up to this time all the speeches de
lvered at the exposition, whether by
northern or southern men, have been
pitched upon the keynote of fraternity and
of national unity. No one heretofore has
uttered a note of sectionalism. Gov. Evans
and Senator Tillman struck out on a diff
ferent line. in direct contrast with what
had gone before.
Gov. Atkinson, in introducing the gov
ernor of South Carolina had said that
These two gentlemen from the Palmetto
state have evoked more applause than the
President of the United States did when
he was here"
Gov. Atkinson's speech of welcome was
followed by a short one from S. NJ In

Galce oI Nofth ana south Carolina would

MI. lnman was presented ny Commis-
slolisI iI fs9Ghe OF south carolina, who
spoke OF MN as the man who had done
more tlan any other to make this great
exposition. Mr. lnInan was received with
cheers handclapping and a waving of
handkerchiefs. He paid a handsome
tribute 70 south Carolina, and especially
their appearance to-day had raised his
respect for their native state.
Gov. Evans was the next speaker, and
began with entertaining pleasantres
about Georgia as the promising daughter
of South Carolina whom the Palmetto
state had nourished in infancy and pro
tected from the Indians and the Span-
iards.
Very soon he got on to the line of state
