MobIey Cowhides Evans.
There was a cowhiding affair in Co
lumbia yesterday morning. John u.
Mobley and w. Boyd Evans were the
participants. Mobley charged Evans
with having circulated damaging re-
ports about his private life in connec-
ton with a suit for alimony. He also
accused Evans Of having taken GER
tain papers in the case from the state
house, and demanded their return. IT
was Mobley who made the attack, and
Evans defended himself as best he
could. Both men were arrested and
each was put under bond Of $1,000.
States Finances.
The state treasurer will in a few
days borrow about 100000, or the
rest of the money allowed by law to
be borrowed in any one year. 1t IS
thought that there will not be much
difficulty in making ends meet this
year as the tax money will begin TO
come in just as the loan is exhausted.
Despite this, however, the appropria-
tions are over 100000 greater than
last year and there are no government
claims of $4,000 to help the state out.
The mistake in the franchise law caus-
ed big difference, which was evident
ly not looked for by the legislature, and
it is estimated that this knocked the
state out of about $150,00O.
