Now for the other side OF the mat
Ter, aad Just here it IS to be said
that the very best sources Of infor
nation were used and the fsc!s here
given as best they could be derived
and without any favor what
ever. Mr.. Barnard B. Evans was
seen at his insurance office early this
morning, aud asked about the case.
He said that he would not have any
thing to say about the case, as it was
in the courts, and he did not think it
right for MIN to come out and Say
anything at this time, bat added that
he would be heard from when the
case came to trial, and that he exoect
ed to hold on 10 the horse and thatit
was'his property oy every right and
title. He, however, referred to
friend who could and would give all
the information that was solicited.
1t was learned that Mr.. E7ans's side
OF the matter is like this: Ia he cam

to Marion, his hone. They got to
talking about the near approaching
primary, and Governor Ellerbe, the
contention is pulled out az envelope
on which he had lis! Of COUNTIES
which he said he would carry in the
primary. Mr.. Evans questioned his
carrying these counties, and went on
to say that he noted that Anderson
was on the list, and that he was Ger
tain that his brother, Governor Evans,
would carry the county. Mr.. EIlerbe
did no! agree with his idea, and Mr..
Evans will contend that before the
discussion closed Governor Eilerbe
said: II will give you fine chest |
nut sorrel mare, agains5 IS if I don't |
carry Anderson County" Mr.. Evans
will hold that he asked Governor
Ellerbe il he was in earnest, and he
replied by saying. Il won't make a |
