The Lexington Dispatch j Q. M. HARMAN. Editor ami Publisher. 1 LEXINGTON. S. C.. WEDNESDAY. APRIL 17. l'?l. , mm ' A NOTE OF WARNING. . . I 1 Advices froui Washington bring j the intelligence that tho President j j has appointed Mr. John G Capers | attorney of the United States Court for the District of Snith Ctirolimi, i succeeding Abial Lathrop, Es<|, of ^ Orangeburg. Mr. Capers is a descendant from " some of the best families of South ^ Carolina, the malo members of . which have been life long Democrats . ' and have taken an active and promi- ^ Dent part iu the couucils of the party * from time immemorial. It can be said that he was iiterally rocked in the ^ cradle of Democracy aua nus re- j maiDed faithful to its principles up ( to a few years ago when he refused ^ to support the silver plank iu the ( Democratic platform and declined to follow the leaderthip of Colonel Bryan. Ia tbo last National cam- r paign he canvassed the State of West Virginia for Mr. McKinley and this appointment is possibly a reward for 1 hie services on that occasion. The appointment came as startling ^ as a clap of thunder from a clear sky 1 to Democrats and Republicans alike and the dry bones in both parties * rattled as they never rattled before. 1 With the Republicans and their party machinery we have nothing to do. ' That party as now known was born ' in hatred to the South and conceived ' in inquity, which alone is enough to ! damn it iu the eyes of all Southern ers as an unholy and uncleau thing ' that defileth all that it touches. It is true that good men, have identified j themselves with it form patriotic and i n fKuf t 1 UUDtlUPU puh/uocc, iu uvi vuttw iuvii presence and counsel might have the 1 tendency, at least, to cheek the wild extravagances and reckless violations f of the laws of decency which characterized that party in the Southern States. It was not from love of the methods of that party that they made 1 the great sacrifice of principle. There ' are others today who would doubtless surrender their principles for the sake of the spoils offered as a reward for their desertioD, but they are 1 few and carry no weight nor strength ' nor respectability with them. To the Democrats this appointment, as well as others which it is reported are to fellow, presents an object lesson that it would do well ' for the leaders to pause and consider. ' That there is a state of unrest aud dissatisfaction existing within the ' party ranks can no longer bo denied. ' This unrest has passed that stage when longer concealment of appa- ! rent facts is neither policy nor wis- j dom. The recouciling of the antagonistic olcmeuts in the party calls for the exercise of tho broadest j and most liberal statesmanship aud ( he who succeeds in the task will bo entitled to the pludits of all lovers of liberty. It is essential to party UDity and party integrity that the fatal mistake-? which have been erected j as monuments of defeat in the histoiy of the part}; that tho party should j adjast itself to the progress of the times and adopt such a policy that will fully meet the requirements and demands of the necessities arising ] from our changed conditions; live, progressive and aggressive issues must be raised to foster and protect the interests of the Nuw South in all her varied industries and at the sametime protecting those of the North, East and West aud thus for- ( ever wiping out the hatred and prejudices of sectionalism; we must , inspire the great industrial masses with confidence in the sincerity of ' purpose and ability of the party to < faithfully carry out the pledges of the party, and then will the Dern- i ocratic party stand some chance at the polls. All this can be accomplished within the Democratic party, i as orthordox Democrats and without 1 doiDg violence to the time honored principles of the Fathers, if the r party will only cut itself loose from l the dead issues which come to us as I 3 ^ voices from a forgotten past and from I J all other entangling alliances which j have so often carried the party to j I disgraceful defeat. j v The Chinese have just fallen in love J - - ?

John C. Swygert, Master. A Sad Homicide. Satnrilnv's Columbia Evening Record The te^liainny adduced defore the coroner's jury threw uo light od the Rc'unl occurences that, tranppired Saturday afterucon in Mhj Barnard B. Evans's room, whereby Cant John J. Grifiio lost his life. The two men were the only occupants of ? 1 iL ? _ 1 _ L .... ? uie room ami mere is inn oim mini who ('fill foil the true story ami that man iR Mr. Evans. Tim cor mi pi 'h j'iry rendered a verdict that to the beet of their belief Mr. Evans fired the fatal shot. I'uder tbeee cireuin ftnncfs ho ns ilI not talk about his case of hie own vulitiou and ou order of bia counsel. Not until bo goes upon the stand on trial will liie story of the terrible tragedy be definitely known. In the meantime any explanation tflVed for the shooting can odIj be theory, and the public ifi theorizing much in view of the absence of definite information. As stated above, the testimony naturally was absolutely blank as to tbo actual shooting, butMaj Evans's conduct uftcrwardH and the condition in which the now dead man was found, were pretty well established. It will not be necessary to give iu detail tie testimony of each individual iu order that the public may understand clearly the conditions before and soon after the homicide, and the facts may be stated as follows: II wag iu the neighborhood of two o'clock when Capt. Griffin went to Mr. Evanb'e room. They bad always been good friends and so far as the friends of either know, these ploauaut relations bad never been broken. That the mm were enjoying with each other a social glass was quite evident, for a keg of corn whiskey which a friend had 6?nt Maj Evans had been tapped, and tho glassep, the whiskey and the water were ou the large center table in the room How many drinks were taken is not kuowD, but later developments showed that probably both bad takeu too much fur the good of either. It was between 2 and 2:30 o'clock that Mr. Kufus Muller, in bis store immediately below Maj. Evanb's room, beard a pistol shot. Dr. Phiipot's family also heard tbo report. Mr. Muller and Dr. Philpot and his family awaited developmei.tp, but eeeing no commotion on the streets concluded tbat something else bad made the noise. A few minutes after Mr. Evans went to Mutier's store and in a very excited manner a?kcd Mr. Rofus Muller to phone Dr. Taylor. This was done, but Dr. Tuylor could not come. Mr. Evans went up stairs again, but not before Mr. Muller had asked him whether be was in trouble. The reply was in the affirmative, and Mr. Evans asked Mr. Muller twice to go to bi*i room. Mr. Muller refused, pleading the pressure of business just at the time. Remaining up stairs several miuutes, Mr. Evan8 agaiu came dowu and called up Dr. Gibbes, who soon after responded, giing to Mr. Evans's room to which be was admitted Mr Evans told Dr. Gibbes to do what he could for Capt. GriffiD. The doctor felt the pulse and told Mr. Evans that the gentleman was djiug. Mr Evanp, who before was very much excited, now became frenzied, ac cording to Dr. Gibbes, and accused hiui of having killed Chpt. Griffin by poisoning him with the byperdermic injection, which bud been administered. Dr. Gibbes realized that Mr. Evans was not responsible for what be said or did, as his mind at that lime was thoroughly unbalanced. ** r1-_ 1.. t\_ n;ui i? iUr. li/VRUS lUrUUMC XJl. VJIUUBB Itf leave the rcom, but after some parley be did so. He went to the police station and eccompauied byOfScerers Willingham and Dunning, returned to the Greenfield building. They uiet Judge Gar)*, who was ou the way to his loom. He aecom panied thein aud told Mr. Evans, who had opened the door, that officers of the law were present aud to let them in. Mr. Evans was still iu the highest state of excitement and positively refused any of them admission, but ou the contrary ordered them away. Finally the police entered anyway without fuither trouble and Or Gibbes was with them. Again Mr. Evaus denounced Dr. Gibbes and ordered him aw&y, but that geutlemau, realiz ng Mr. Evans' mental condition, not c uly did uot go, but by firmness succeeded iu pacifying the raving young inau to the extent that the doctor could remain with comparative peace Mr. Evans wanted Dr. Pbilpot" called in, and tLis was agreed to, a policeman going to the doctor's residence for him. When he arrived, Mr. Evans Baid: "Dr. Gibbes says this man is dying. I don't believe it. It can't be so " Dr. Pbilpot saw ut a glance that life was rapidly departing, and so iu formed Mr. Evans, who again began to rave like a madman, rushiDg to the bed, grabbiug Captain Griffiths bloody hand in his own, rubbiDg the hand vigorously, declaring at the same time, "Hio hand is warm. He is not dying. Can't you do something for him?" Dr. Pbilpot, with due reverence, informed Mr. Evans that no one except Almighty God could save Capt. GiiffiD. All the time Mr. Evans was raving like a luDatic and it became necessary for the police to be ordered by Dr. Pbilpot and Judge Gary, who was in hie room, to take Mr. Evans away. Some persuasiou had to be used to cet him to eo, but be finally was taken out tbo back way,! put in a hack and taken to jail. Captain Griffin was on the bed fast breathing his life away. The foot of the bed was smeared with blood; the short spice betweeu the center table and bed had a tiail of blood, and Captain Griffin s walking cane had blood upon it near the handle. Tue Captuiu'e hut had several deuts in it, according to testi inony, but when shown at the coro ner's inquest only one large depression could be seen at a casual glance. On tbe way to the station house, Mr. Evans said Captain Giitfin had committed suicide. He made tbe same statement to the physicians during his ravings. Tins is the slur}' us developed, loid as bri< fly ami correctly as possible But why was Captain Griffitu shot? That is the mystery that tbe public is discussing aod the one upon which aiaDy theories are advanced. The suicide theory, or statement mvb- by Mr. Ev-?n*. bas boon dia rnippod untf imU". nr.d l:i?s m^nt fo tb?jt effect i* nm xplninnl)*? by the testimony of Dr. Gild ch that bo won utterly irrosj) usi' 1J for \vb: t 1h> sab! or did. nod thin may explain tbe delays uhicb Mr. Evans took in irot'ine: })rompt medical apsisfanrp and bis refund or opposition to allowit-nr unv IIIIO t f\ Mnilt If he had shot Captain GHffin accidentally, bis conduct after it nrgbt bf explained on the same ground, but the accident theory Stems untenable in view of the bruises found on the fnco and head of the deceased In the cpiniou of the doctors the bruises could only buvo been made by some one striking the face or head. This leaves but ouo explanation of the occurrence in the absence of any sltiteujcrit from tbo survivor of the terribly unfortunate) occurrerce. That is that the two men drinking together it) a friendly way at firbt, become involved in some dispute, their brains being affected with alcohol, which led to a listicufY and the sbootiug of Mr Griffin bv Mr. Evans in Itio built, nf niKvii n Tho bp longed to Mr. Grifliu, and it* is possible lie may have attempted to use it, but, of course, is merely a i-urmise. But tbe bruit-es could uot bave come unless tbey were inflicted by Mr. Evaue, and although Captain Griffin was a man of tbe most peaceful disposition aud loDg suffering before giving away to anger, it is not to be presumed that be would take a beating without resisting, and so among many people it is believed that tbe two men were in a fight during which Mr. Evanp, for reason, which ho will no doubt try to substantiate, shot bis antagonist. No preconceived motive on the part of Mr. Evans for killing Captain Giiffin can be imagined when the very pleasant and cordial relations that had existed between them is considered. No bruises were seen on Mr. Evans face, though it is possible for him to have been struck without being hit on his face. No rxamination was made of him for the purpose of ascertaining whether he had been struck or not for the reason that satisfactory explanation of the occurrence had been made or thought of duriDg tbe excitement The bullet w hich killed Mr. Griffin went in just above bis heart and came out about two inches below tbe place of entrauce in tbe back. Even if medical attendance could have been had immediately, Captain Griffin's life could not have been saved. In the opinion ot tbe physicians, however, he could have remained conscious for ten minutes perhaps, during which time he might bave told something of the occurrence. But when tbe doctors arrived he was udcousciouB. I', was an awful tragedy which has txeited the deepest sympathy for the row fatheiless family of Captain Griffin. At the same lime there is tbe same kindly feeliDg for tbe young man, popular aud talented, who for whatever reason may develop, has upon his bands the blood of a fellowman. Former Governor John Gary Evans aod Mr. N. G. Evans, brother of Mr. B. B Evans, came to the city in reI sponse to telegrams. Maj )r W. T. Gary, of Augusta, an uncle also ar lived yesterday. Judge Andrew Crawford will be one of the attorneys for Mr. Evans. It is said that Major Gary will be also. The next term of couit for this county convenes in Julv, at which Judge Gary will preside. As he is closely related to Mr. Evans, the ?oco will n/it lio triffl hv him. and unless there is a change of venue, which Iir* not been mentioned, the trial of Mr. Evauu will not likely be had until the fall lerni of court. ft Superb Grip Cure.
