THE PIECE" BY EVANS IN ATLANTA. of It was0 SAID ON OAROLINA ta grass wat DAY. n1C after bri o down tPU p Squarely fMor South w< mother", and the Democratic th yer - ''lu wVs following Is the full text of the m gieh oft Governor John Gary Evans, 5y Lvered at the Cotton States and In- h< enationel Exposition, Atlanta, Ga., yo n November 30th 1895: P1 Mr. President, Your Excellency, La- no es and Gentlemen of Georgia and ol y own Follow Citizens; To say that ti e thank you for this hearty welcomo p ems cold and indifferent from a p, other to her daughter, for it has bi ien truly said that Georgia is really n i daughter of South Carolina, and she ft is a daughter indeed. (Groan.) You ti may groan, but yet she is not ashamed w of her daughter. (Applause.) South o, Carolina is proud of her daughter, ti (applause) and sho stands bore to-day ft to bear evidence for what we did in ti past; that when we nurtured this in- hi fant ; when we protected hor from the ti Indian and Spaniard, it was not In ti vain we stand here to-day and say, In- ce deed you do us proud. (Applause and h cheers.) And now, his Excellency, it the Governor, has seen lit to say that it the Governor of South Carolina has no o appreciation for her lovely daughters. ti Why, sir, you don't know me. (Ap- T - plause.) We have brought hero upon y the soil of Georgia 265 of the fairest a maidens that God Almighty ever cre- 1i ated. (Applause.) They ar stamped it with more purity than he has stamped 8 the lily; they are stamped with more il beauty than ho has painted the rose- y bud, and, sir, when I stand in the pros- g once of these holy creatures; when I fi stand hero and contemplate my own il miserable self, I can only exclaim, B " How unworthy a creature you are of at one of these lovely women." (Ap- Ih plause.) - That is my appreciation. g Not lack of appreciation ; though pos- t) sibly, some may say, too great an ap- h preciation, but it cannot be. C South Carolina is proud of her wo- d men; she is proud of what they havo II done in the past; she is proud of what p they represent in tho'present; and she p feels safe in what they will accoi- fl plish and speak for her in the future. ft This day has been set apai t as a day w of 'Thaaksgiving by the Presidont of ti the United States and by the Gov- G ernors of the separato States in the i, Union. We havO much, fellow citi- u zens, to be thankful for, but South i Carolina and Georglia stamped by their n; individuality can Oxclaim wiithout any ci degree of hypocr-isy or spirit of the ci Pharisee, - We thank theo, oh ! T .God, we arc not as other people are." T ( Thore is a characteristic individu- It fality of the South Carolinian, that D characteristic is not so great between aI the South Carolinian and the Georgiatn rt because we arc one people, and al- et though divided by the Savannall, in w the words of your own immortal Grady, c " That is more of a bond thati a boun- g dairy." (Applauso.) 01 We cannot forgot, as your Governor i ' said, you cannot forget, South o1 )lina cannot forgot, that whean she ti oppwessed; when the hel of the bi Ant bore heavily upon her, it was p! 3 strong arm of the Georgians that c1 amo to her rescuo in '76. We thank al you for it. We thank you for What S you have done in the past and we a thank you for giving us this oppor tunity of coming here and showing to I the world the superiority of South tl Why, the other- day 1 saw an intoar- ha -view from a Yankee General, in which ii he stated that the Southl was p~rogr-ess- hI ing ; that tile South was imlproving, e: except poor South Car-ol ina, and she b was still feeling the cifects of seces- ft1 Ision. Yes, she feels it ; she feels the S effects of the tribute shle pays to S, the national government for- being r<4 whipped ; but whlen she pays it, she tI pays it withl a praotest, and wvhen it is na statted that she feels tile effects of di secession it is ta-ue; but to-dlay, fellow bh citizens, we stand and proclaim as our ci own Pinckney did, that we still have C " Millions for- defense but, not a cent for- tr-ibuteo." South Carolina pays he tr-ibute to no man and po State excep~t ye that imposed upon her- by for-co of laiw oi and of a strong hand ; but wve pay it, w j and as we pay it we do not mnurmur-. But o1 the time has come fot- the South Car-o- at linlan and every Southe-rner to tink ha for- himself andl to speak for- himisel f and Ut in the hlalls of Congress lot it be known la that these Souther-n States ar-e in this p1 Union, a par-t of this Union aind by the graco of God we propose to conltrol this Unlion. (A voice, "That's r-ight.") Why should it, not be r-ight? (Ap plause.) \Vas it nlot riaght ian the past ? A Was It not right under- tile tralining of, yelur father-s? The training of states manship that you r-eceived, the prin \ciples they inculcated in you, ar-o they- J) not just as dear- ais they wort- bcforoe m 1805? And, fellow citizens, thlis mi Southland~ will blooml ill spite of tile ini -marks of gener-als, in spite of the r'oma$rks of judges hostile to us. It aa scets now that over-y prlesidenltial can- dIC didate of tihe Ropublli~can parLty fools it to incumbent upon hiam to hit South to Car-olina a lick. But fellow citizeans, Ir tile result is thait South Carolina never- thi has to go out of tile conflict for re- l pair-s. (Great alplause.) Co Now, fortunately. oura wor-ks ar-e hor-e TI. to speak for themselves ;we ar-c not, a b people to her1ald our vir-tues hoore tile vL wor-ld ; we ar-e not a people to prao.-h claim what we aare doing. We ar-e not fra a people possessed of too amuch baass. 1)1 We have always had brains ; we have *' always haad integrity ; we hlave always in had statesmen. (Great applauase and tii cors.)

But we stand ha razngthat grand principle of gov- in; ernment that Southl Carolina has al- col ways recognized, that trune Demoecracy or dwells only in the hearts of the ag-ri- 11e culturist. Sir, what concer-n us to- go day is, that what was once a solid ti( South is now dismembered, and we as *have a solid North confronting us. th< Where is Democracy on this Thlanks- alp 5 IvnF Day ? We can only say, Thank no is no worse. It is bad enough, in \but, we, fellow citizeas, cherish Demo- la i-o;and to-day the only Democracy q n this giot'lous lanti is South Sb sad*c Dx n's line in the hearte Sn u'Ifl who lives under cla ne #Wtree, and that pr1 Pure otim. That is E 4o# us ; that *is what we We ~ h~e ~ ~iet and we SU< ~ ItU~e at~1 e uwill en the North consolidate; while the Iyocks consolidate and continue to ke their pound of flesh, if possible aror the heart ; while som South ners are tempted to bow down and )rsbip the golden idols. We are told at "you are fauatics; you do not iderstand the principles of govern ent," and unless you allow this phon to be Introduced into your )art and allow them to suck from m your life blood, they say, "That 'osperity and true government can )vor be obtained." Sir, it can be )tained. The principles upon which Lis government was founded can be 3rpetuated, but it will never be per 3tuated by the Shylock, it will never 3 perpetuated by the banker, it will aver be perpetuated by the manu eturer, but it will be perpetunteud by to men who own the soil and the men ho till the soil ; who live under their un vine and fig tree, who love the oes as Grady said, who love the irot; who love the hills that stand in icir pathway and glories in the home e inhabits. (Applause.) Thoso are to men who give birth to patriotism, lose are the men who can save this )untry against corporate wealth that as been amassed and is being amassed the North ; there is no hope for you the Northeast. It is solid. Their aly desire is to fleece you, and to get i1 last penny from you they can. he only hope for you is the West. Ihy do I say so? The South is an [gricultural country. South Carolina iads in the manufacturo of cotton, it i true; but sho is an agricultural tato; she realizes that the founda on of all wealth is agriculture. hcre do you find thom ? She must ot her friends from those who are the 'ionds of agriculture. Where do you nd them ? Only in the West and outhwest, and thero is your alliance, nd let me give warning here to-day : t me tell the young Southerner whc oos to Congress that he should ge toro and lot his voice be heard; lot im raiso his protest against this ac umulation of wealth ; against the ostroyers of this repubiic, and as his itlier did in the past, for the prince les of good government.

Sonic of his thoughts about it run thus: " Here are found the largest monkeys and the smallest men. The chimpanzees have musical instru ments around which they hold a dance, while there are tribes of savages so low and brutal as never to have in vented a musical instrument. Monkey tribes, gorilla tribes and chimpanzee tribes are organized. They have leaders and governors. They soei to have a rude system of government of the forest."
