EVANS SHOWS FIGHT. Will Stop Unwa-ranted and Improp er Slurs A.out Him in Newspapers. The Columbia correspondent of the News and Co..r-rer says that while in Columbia this week Chairman H. H. 7V-1::: 1f the state board of control. aid that hie wvas tired of newspapers makI1ng 01n%warranted and improper !:'; u'on:. him and the dispensary, and he was going to see if there was any way to stop it or have the proof produced. He says that he asked his counsel. Mr. WNilliam Elliott. Jr., to bring both criminal and civil action against the New Sentinel, of Barn well, and its editor, G. Marshall Moore, anid he is going to press the case or have the proper explanations made. Some tinie ago this article appear ed in the Barnwell Sentinel, and it is presumably on this that Chairman Evans wishes his attorney to bring a suit or have full retraction made. Said the Sentinel: "Is Evans to rule South Carolina with a salary of $4oo, when many a poor devil with $600' 6r $7o0 has to scratch for hungry mouths. Ye economists, if ye will, tell us how a man can give box parties, keep daughters at col ege and( be drawn around the streets of Rock H-ill in a coach and pair on the pi:iful sum of $400 p)er annum. There is something rotten in the state of South Carolina. and it reeks from Col ombia to Barn well." Mr. Evans says that if the editor had inquired in Newberry he would have learned that there is money to e made in successful farming. and that he was holding cotton and corn, as good farmers are doing. HeI saidl he had a bundle of letters from friends and others asking him to run for governor, but he had not decided to do so. but had the magter uner cons'ideration. His family did nm wish him to enter the race alid he was afraid of the expense. The suggestion is made that there is considlerable pressure being brought to have the board revoke or practically nullify the recent 1ecision to bottle here the cheaper grade of case goodIs. The board has decided tha it will not buy case goods. ex cept a few high grade brands-say half a dlozen. The pressure is to have the board revoke the order or igore it and leave the resolution on the record. The board announces that the resolution was adopted to stick and must hold, and that the or der will be executed in spirit and re ality, and no dollar liquor will here after be bought cased, but will be ttled in bulk.
