Barnard Eyans'S Status.

Barnard B. Evans, of Columbia,
who was last week indefinitely sus-
pended from the practice of law in
the Courts of South Carolina, follow
ing disbarment proceedings against
him before the Supreme Court, came
to Charleston yesterday for the pur-
pose of making a motion in a. bank
ruptcy case before Judge H. A. M.
Smith in the United States District
Court. AS the motion, it is under
stood, was not in proper shape, Judge
Smith did not pass on it and the
status of Mr.. Evans as an attorney IN
the Federal Courts was not officially
declared, so far as could be learned.
The matter concerning which Mr..
Evans came here to see Judge Smith
was the case of J. S. Dent, of Colum-
bia, for whom Mr.. Evans filed a VOL
untary petition in bankruptcy some
time ago. The attorney had come
here merely to settle some question
in this case. 1t is understood that
the referee in bankruptcy heard Mr..
Evans in the case very hecently,
though whether or not it was after
the Supreme Courts decision is not
known. Mr.. Evans had a private in
terview with Judge Smith yesterday
afternoon, and, though it is believed
that his status in the Federal Courts
of this State was made known to him
then, this fact could not be deter
mined yesterday.-News and Courier.

Memorial Day.

Ehrhardt, May 9.-The greatest
social event OF the season, in this Sec
ton, occurred yesterday at Rivers
Bridge. In Sherman's march from
the sea, the Confederates under Gen.
Wheeler opposed him at this point.
The memorial exercises held yester-
day We're in honor of the Confederate
soldiers who lost their lives in this
engagement. 1t is not unusual for
1900 or 1000 people to gather here
each year to take part in these ex-
ercises, coming from wide area in
cluding sections of several counties.
The day is spent mostly in quiet social
intercourse of friends with friends,
including a characteristic low coun-
try dinner, in all of which the great
est hospitality and good will abound.
The memorial exercises were in
charge of DR.. n. F. kirkland, an
IGNORED veteran of the war, who call
ed upon the Rev. E. A. Mcdowell to
o. en- the exercises with prayer. After
a brief address by himself, in which
he reviewed the history of the annual
event in which We were taking part,
DR.. Kirkland introduced the speaker
of the day, the Hon. Richard l. Man
ring, OF Sumter, who was received
with applause.
The subject matter of Mr.. Man.
ning's address dealt with the real
causes of the war of secession, and
for about one hour he held his au-
dience in rapt attention. The speak
er was clear, forceful and eloquent,
and the hearty applause that he re-
ceived at the close indicated in some
4egree the pleasure with which he
had been heard.
True to Southern ideals, lofty in
his own, strong in his convictions,
strong in character, the embodiment
of honor, Mr.. Manning is representa-
tive of the truest type of a Southern
gentleman. We overheard one man
say that he would be the next govern
or of South Carolina. May God
grant that by such as he our State
ray be- delivered from the present
shame!
After the conclusion of Mr.. Man
Yg's address a number of Confed-
.ote veterans, under command OF
Cart. J. w. Jenny, formed column
and marched to the grave yard, where
they solemnly stood around, While
ladies decorated the graves of their
c,.nrades with flowers.

JACK JOHNSON FOUND GUILTY.
Black Pugilist Convicted Of White
Slavery on Seven Counts.

Chicago, May 13.-Jack Johnson,
champion heavyweight fighter, to-
night was found guilty Of violating
the Federal white slave law in trans
porting Belle Schneider from Pitts
burg to Chicago in 1910. He was
convicted on all seven counts in the
indictment. The jury returned it's
verdict after an hours consideration.
Taking of testimony was ended to-
day, after the prize fighter had taken
the stand in his own behalf and de-
MED the statement of the Schneider
woman that he had paid for her
transportation. A night session was
held so that the attorneys could COM
plete their arguments.
Johnson admitted on the stand that
he had sent the woman money in re-
sponse to her request by telephone,
but denied he had made any stipula-
ton that she should use it to come to
Chicago.
"If you should find this defendant
not guilty, knowing as you do the
evidence in the case," said Assistant
District Attorney Harry Parkin, II
do not see how any of you can go
home and look squarely into the
faces of those you respect and ad-
mire."
Attorney Bachrach, for the defence,
maintained that the general record
and behavior of the negro was not TO
be considered by the jury.
"If he sent her the money to
come to Chicago for immoral purpos-
es, he is guilty." he said. THAT is
the only thing to be considered by the
jury"
The arguments continued until a
late hour.
Suit for s6350 was filed against
Johnson by an automobile company
today, alleging that Johnson had fall
ed to pay for goods he had purchased
from them.

HEAVY TAX ON LIQUOR.
Texas Congressman Would Divert
DistillerS' Profits to Treasury.

Nearly the entire expense of run
ming the government will be met by
the tax or taxes on whiskey and beer,
if a bill introduced by Representa-
tive Vaughan, of Texas, is approved
by Congress. The Texas statesman
suggests that the internal revenue
tax on malt and spirituous liquors
be exactly the same figure as the
tariff duties on these articles. BY this
plan he declares the government will
get the benefit of the protection on
intoxicating liquors instead of its 60
ing into the pockets of brewers and
distillers. He estimates the revenue
would amount to s1SO,0O0,O0O a
year.

SHOOTING AT CLARENDON.
o. F. Flood Reported Dead.-Shot by
r. r. BroWder.

Manning, May ia personal
alteration took place yesterday on
Temas Mitchum's place, in the fork
of Black River, about half way be-
tween Manning and Alcolu, in which
young man, o. F. Flood, was shot
twice by another young man, T. 4.
Browder. One shot entered below
the shoulder and the other in the
temple. The wounded man was CIV
en- first aid here, and then taken to a
hospital in Sumter for further treat
ment, but it is reported here this al
ternoon that he has since died from
his injuries. 1t is difficult to get the
facts in the case, but according to
reports, Warren Browder, father of
T. R. Browder, made some offensive
remarks, which Flood resented, strlk-
ing BroWder in the face with his tst,~
giving him a black eye, and that Mr..
Mitchum then ordered Browder OH
the place. Later Browder and his
son and a married daughter, it is
said, returned and the trouble was
renewed, resulting in the shooting as
stated.
The elder Browder is Confederate
Veteran and was candidate for the
Office of coroner in the primary elec-
tion last year He, his son and daugh-
ter, are lodged in jail under a charge
of assault and battery with intent to
kill, but if the report that young
Flood is dead proves true, they will
have a more serious charge to an
swer. All the parties are white.

year-old grandchild lost their lives

incendiarism, as some at first feared.

emerged from the burning building
in safety, but remembered that hef
little grandchild was still inside the
burning structure and plunged back
into the flames to rescue the little
one.
The child had awakened in the
meantime, however, and had taken
refuge under the bed and the grand
mother, after cropping vainly about
for the little one, fell a victim to the
deadly flames. 1t was most heroic
and self-sacrificing act, as the grand
mother had reached a place of safe
ty directly after the alarm was given,
and plunged back into the hottest
part of the fire where there was every
evidence of danger, when the cry
rang forth that the child was missing
