ATLANTA, Nov. 2o.-The Souai
Carolinians are leaving Atlanta TO-
night on every train and there is q
lam at the railroad stations. The
aisIes of the coaches Of the outgoing
trains are each filed will. passengers
forced to stand. All are leaving
however, delighted with Atlanta and
her exposition To-day the Cisade|
cadets started home Most of the
other troops have gone. The Clem
son corps will leave tomorrow
evening. In the morning Governor
Enans, Senator Tillman and party will
vacate their headquarters at the
Aragon and start homeward. Their
car will be attached to the train
carrying the Winthrop girls which
leaves ut $50 m The whole
party will go by Clemson, stopping
there two hours to enjoy lunch and
see the college The executive
party will arrive at Columbia about 2
a. m. Sunday Gen. Richbourg and
staff go via the Seaboard Air Line
to morrow.
To-day many of Gov Evans
friends called upon him. as did a
good many Georgia senators and
representatives. The justices of the
Georgia supreme court called to-
night. Governor Evans went out
and spent awhile around the South
Carolina exhibit to-day. Col. Fielder
rendered the governor and the ladies'
of his party driving party this
afternoon.
Quite futter was caused around
the South Carolina headquarters this
evening by the leading editorial in
the Atlanta Journal. As stated the
speeches made by Senator Tillman
and Governor Evans were on new
line, bringing up political features
heretofore omitted from exposition
orations The journal gives the two
a genuine old-time roast this evening
that has been read with much zeal,
and has been discussed not little
Her" is the way the editorial reads:
Asr,er a reference to "Little John
C. y Evans and the men who pulls
the strings on him. it says: "Evans is
nothing. of course. except Tilman.
and we may .herefore, say that Till
man made two speeches. 1t is hard
to determine which was the worse,
the one he made with is own mouth,
or that which he fred off through
Little John Gary. Both were in
every sense the worst speeches that
have been heard at the exposition
They were so far as we can remember
the only utterances yet made there
which broadminded patriotic men of
all sections of the country cannot
approve. They merit as much the
condema alton of good citizens of the
south as they deserve the contempt
of good citizens of the north.
at is hardly necessary to protest
that these two cheap demagogues do
not represent public opinion in this
section and yet Tie journal cannot
let these harangues pass without voic-
ing what it knows to be southern
public opinion.
"Evans cut very ridiculous figure
as he pranced over the platform and
shook his fist in the face of the north
He is one OF those small men who
never seem to know or care when he
is making fool of himself He has
played that role so often that he
would probably not know how to at
tempt aSy other
"What Evans either does because
he knows no better or because he is
ordered to do so by Tillman. the lat
ter does because he is both design
ing and malicious. He uses little
fellows ike Evans merely to multiply
his voice
Both in the speech he made him
self yesterday and in the one he die
tated. Tillman used his old trick OF
trying to array section and class
against class He represented the
men of the north who have invested
many millions of dollars in the south
as being animated By no other motive
than the desire to rob our people.
We do not suppose that northern cap
ital has come into the south on benev-
olent or charitable considerations
1t has been invested because the
south offered fine opportunities and
such transactions have been mutually
beneficial
1.-The south invites capital and set
lers and is to built up, not by the
Tillmans who denounce those who
came in to aid in the development O
this region, but by those fair-mlndee
