EVANS Is REs1GNED.-Governor
Evans was at his Office bright and ear
ly yesterday morning. Although he
had missed one of the biggest prizes in
the political lottery, an opportunity
that seldom comes to q man 30 young
as he, his demeanor was cheerful, and
though his defeat must necessarily fill
him with regret, to all appearances he
was not rs much concerned as some of
his more ardent supporters. He had
very little to say about the result. He
admitted that Earle had won by be-
tween five and ten thousand votes,
but until the result was officially de-
clared Governor Evans declined to say
anything about what would be the
outcome of his defeat. The cloud of
doubt and worry which had plainly
stamped itself on his face the day be-
fore had given place to a look of re-
lief and resignation to the inevitable.
While he would say nothing for publi-
cation the governor in the course of his
conversation attributed the result
more to the thorough organization of
the Conservatives than to the dissatis-
faction of Reformers. He said he had
advices from several counties to the
effect that the Conservatives had thor
oughly organized to accomplish his
defeat. He admitted, however, that
the organization was voluntary" more
than practical. Others causes fer his
defeat he attributes to the animosity
of Reform leaders. This phase of the
fight is we'll known to the public by
reasons of the numerous "manifestoes"
recently printed in the papers.
Governor Evans said that he. was
glad to get out of politics, asno y0 Is
man, unless he had plenty money,
could afford to throw away any pros
poets in business for politics. He said,
however, that while he was defeated
he was not whipped by any means,
and that he would lie heard from
again, though he didn't say in what
way. He said that this campaign was
the dirtiest in all his experience, and
that his opponents were conscience
less in the falsehoods circulated about
him-Columbia Register, Thursday.

fine quality of sorghum, it has matured
scarcely any seed, and If much is planted
next year, the seed will likely be secured
elsewhere.
Cotton is opening rapidly and is being
gathered about as fast as it opens. So
little rain has fallen that it has been dam
aged but little, and as there will be none
for the frost to injure, all of the crop
ought to bring good relative price.
There was consid erable "log rolling" in
the interest of certain candidates here in
both primaries; but in the, second one,
the principal interest seemed to be center
ed in the candidates for magistrate, while
the congressional candidates came in for
good second, and the others seemed to
be rather in the background. Senator
Tillman's circular letter which had been
pretty generally circulated, doubtless
aided in rolling up larger vote for Evans
than would otherwise have been cast.
Mr.. M. w. Lathem recently drew his
fish basket, up, thinking that he had
made a fine "catch;'' but to his disap-
pointment and modification, it tproved to
be three large muskrats, which had taken
that rather novel plan of securing some
bread with which the basket was baited.
Mr.. Thomas w. McSwain had q narrow
escape from serious injury few days
ago. While driving in one-horse wagon,
on the way to Yorkville with bale of
cotton, one line pulled loose and the ami
NAL turned suddenly towards the other
side, with the result Of precipitating him
to the ground, the wheel narrowly escap-
ing his head. After running short dis
lance, the wagon was upset. The fright
ened animal dashed away with the fore
part of the wagon, but soon had only the
shafts clinging to it, which were broken
up considerably in its circuitous meander-
ings before the horse was held up by q
Negro. Fortunately, neither Mr.. Nc
Swain nor his animal were injured much.
Mr.. John E. Bankhead had fine mule
injured by running against barbed wire
fence a short time ago. 1t would doubt
less have been more seriously hurt, but
the force with which it struck the wire
caused it to yield and break, allowing the
mule to pass over.

INVESTIGATION AT HAND.
The State Board Will See What Is the Mat
ter With the Dispensary.

tAtee
ter With the Dispensary.
Columbia State, Friday: If what
has been whispered about in the last
few days since the revelations made
by Governor Evans as to what certain
people know about the affairs of the
state dispensary be true then the out
side world may look for spicy reading
next week bearing upon the big state
scandal. The state board of control
has been called in extra session to fully
investigate the scandal and see what
is behind it.
Colonel Willie Jones, chairman OF
the state board of control of the state
dispensary, yesterday notified the four
other members of the board that there
would be an extra session on Tuesday
night next. The first Tuesday night
in each month is the time for the reg
ular meetings.
He was seen by representative OF
The State and asked why he was going
to hold an extra meeting. He replied
that in view of the recent charges
made by Governor Evans against
Liquor Commissioner Mixson he did
not see how the state board could do
otherwise than investigate the matter.
There were charges and counterchar-
ges by Governor Evans and Commis.
sioner Mixson, and these naturally
reflected upon the management Of the
dispensary. In fact, if charges like
those of Governor Evans had been
made by any reputable citizen it would
rest on the board to sift the matter.
This investigation was due the board
itself, he said, and due the people OF
the state, and due also Commissioner
Mixson.
In answer to the question of what
the probable action of the board would
be, he replied that he did not know.
As chairman of the state board he felt
that it rested upon him to assemble
the board and let it take whatever &C.
ton it saw proper. In his letter OF
notification to the board he made no
mention of his reasons for calling the
meeting, but simply stated that certain
business demanded their immediate
attention.
