BARNARD 3. EVANS BEHIND THE BARS.

The dispatches sont out from Column
bia late Saturday afternoon announcing
the killing of Capt. j. J. Griffin in the
room of Major B. B. Evans gave sur.
prise and shock to all. 1t was moro sur
prise at the occurrence of an event that
might be expected at any timo than at
its possibility. Those who have known
Mr. Evans personally, or have watched
oven casually his career for the past few
years, will have no reason for surprise
beyond that commonly experienced
when tho expected happens. There
were no eyc-witncsses to this lamcntable
tragedy, and whether Evans fired the
fatal shot, or, as he claims, Griffin put
an end to his own life, may never be
known. Tho testimony brought out at
the coronor's inquest looks decidedly in
favor of the theory that Griffin met death
at tho hands of Evans. Had Evans been
himsclf-in other words, had hc been
sobcr--we do not believe the tragedy
would have taken place. His greatest
weakness is his foudncss for whiskcy,
and when under it's influence ho is not
himself Evans sober is gentleman
Evans drunk is-anything else. What
ho was before he entered politics we do
not profess to know. For several years
he has dabblcd freely in politics and
moro freely in whiskcy. Naturally tai
ontcd, he has thrown away many oppor-
tunitics that another would have eagerly
grasped. His family connection and in.
tlucncc are such that, had he seen fit to
make a proper uso of them, his future
would have been bright. lie has boon
constantly dropping the substance and
grasping at shadows" The use and
abuse of whiskcy has put him behind
the bars. He has placed himself in the
position of a "hor,ible example" for the
young men of the State. Let us hope
that many who arc travelling the sam,
road Evans has travelled will draw Il les
sou from his experience and change thcil
course. There arc those holding posi-
tions of honor and trust in the State gov.
ernmcnt who may profit 10y Evans down
fall. The final outcome OF this tragedy
will bc awaited with interest by tn,
whole State. The two most lamning
influences at work in the couutry-whis
key aud the cvcr-ready pistol--havc as
usual figured prominently in the affair
1t would he well for every man to give
careful thought to the danger he runs in
tampcring with whiskcy; it would be
well for him to consider the fact that he
who, as private citizen, habtually car.
rics Il pistol is coward-f not physi-
cally, then morally.

good man and citizen, and an inilucn-

the late j. Walter Dickson, and his death
will be felt in that enterprise. Mr.. Dal-
