Beaufort. July i4.-Turning his bat
teries from his opponent today, Bar
ney Evans consumed much OF his time
in severe arraingment of the newspa-
per men who are following the cam
paign, and the newspapers of the
State. In fact, he got really ugly in
his charges, declaring that the papers
were grafters themselves, therefore
did not wish to publish his statements
about the graft cases in the State
and about the attorney general in
his failure to properly conduct them.
He even said the reporters present
were subsidized. o. that they were a
bunch of towards. Mr.. Evans deplored
the fact that he had to repeat on every
stump his charges against Mr Lyon,
and that the time WAS so limited as
to hinder a proper exposure, all be-
cause the newspapers would not give
him the space necessary for the facts
and figures he is presenting.

crowd being very small i'm the begin

about twenty-five persons. 1t was
