"A mild sensation In the meeting
of the State campaign, at WATERFORD
Friday. was the spat between Bar i
B. Evans and Mr.. c. G. Hend ,rson,
Master of Colleton County, when tEe
former made reference :? the f!;n
ID. S. Henderson's connection VIII
the Pink Franklin case, recently
heard in Washington, and in which
Mr.. Evans charged incompetency on
the part of Attorney Genera! Lyon
to compete with a neg ~. LAWYER "t
Orangeburg. Mr.. c. G. HENDERSON
is brother of the Hon. D. S. Hen
derson, of Aiken, and he endeavor-
ed to set Mr.. Evans right On ;be
matter of the State being put to ex-
pense by reason of D. S. Hende ';'h's
assistance to the Attorney-General.
When Mr.. Evans stated that Mr..
Lyon was unable to cope with d
''nigger lawyer" on a little constitu-
tional question and had to hire Dan
Henderson to assist him, Mr.. Hen
derson arose and said, Didn't MY
brother settle that matter at Aiken
the other day? The State did not
pay him one cent to assist in this
case. He was paid by the Congress-
man from this State
Answering with considerable eni-
phasis, Mr.. Evans said: We'll, Jim
Patterson told me at Barnwell that
he didn't pay him SO then who did,
to which Mr. Henderson did not
reply.
Looking straight at Mr.. Hender-
son, the speaker forcefully and une-
ouivocally denounced D. S. Hender-
son for his unfairness in making a
speech at the Aiken meeting, in con-
nection with this affair, and not CIV
ing him an opportunity to reply. 1t
seems that Mr.. D. S. Henderson act
ed as county chairman at the Aiken
meeting and when MI Evans. made
reference to the Franklin case stat
ed his position and connection in
the case, especially as regard the
fees paid. This act on the part OF
a chairman Mr.. Evans denounced as
cowardly in the extreme.
Another matter of some little In
terest was the statement by Mr..
Evans that he intended to make the
newspapers publish his statements
or make them go down as defamers.
However, Mr.. Evans had coasiderab-
ly less to say about the newspapers
than at Beaufort His address. de-
voted almost entirely to an expos
ure" of Mr.. Lyons record, was re-
ceived with loud applause.
Lyon Comes Back.
At the Charleston meeting there
was fine illustration given by MI.
Lyon with reference to the attitude
of Barney Evans as to the injunction
law. He told how Barney Evans
tried to en:oin his landlord in Saluda
county to keep from paying his office
rent. This caused much laughter
Mr.. Lyon said that the time had
come when he must speak plainly
He declared that all the charges
made by Evans were false. He un-
derstood that Barney Evans had been
attacking the newspapers of the
State.
He though that the press had been
very kind to Barney for not printing
record of his past life. When the
attorney general left the stand there
was wild applause and from all sec
tions of the hall came cries of "Ly-
on"
There was a crowd small in num-
ber present, which was inclined to
cheer for Barney Evans. There were
some Kisses and howls. The Evans
crowd worked hard and untiringly
to create a sentiment for his candl'
dacy. Evans made his usual charges
which fell lightly on the ears of his
listeners with the exception Of the
small Evans crowd.
