Tho dispatches sent out from Colum bia lato Saturday afternoon announcing I tho killing of Capt. J. J. Griffin in tito | room of Major li. B. EvaiiB gavo a BUI pri80 and shook to all. lt was moro sur priso at tho occurronco of au ovont that might bo oxpoctod at atty timo than at it? possibility. Thoso who havo known Mr. KvauB porsonally, or havo watchoil ovon casually his career for tho past fow years, will havo no reason for Burprise boyond that commoidy oxporionccd when tho oxpoctod happens. There wero no oyo-witnesses to this lamontahlo tragedy, and whether Evans Hied the fatal shot, or, as he claims, Griffin put an end to his own lifo, may novor be known. Tho testimony brought out at tho coroner's inquest looks decidedly in favor of tho theory that Griffin met death nt tho hands of Evans, Had Evans been himself-in othor words, had ho been sobor-wo do no*, beliovo tho tragedy would havo taken place. His greatest | woaknoss is his fondness for whiskey, and when under its inlluoiico ho is not himself. Evans sober is a gentleman;] Evans drunk is-anything oise. What ho was before ho entered polities wo do not profess to know. Kor several years j ho has dabbled freely in polities and moro freely in whiskey. Naturally tal ented, ho has thrown away many oppor tunities that another would have eagerly grasped. His family connection and in fluence aro such that, had ho seen lit lo mako a proper uso of thom, his future would havo been bright, Ho has boon constantly "dropping tho substance mid grasping at shadows." The uso and abuse of whiskey has put him behind the bars. He has placed himself in the position of a "horrible example'" for the young men of tho State. Lot us hope that many who aro traveling tho same road Evans has traveled will draw a los Bon from his experience and change their course. There are those holding posi Mons of honor and trust in the State gov ernment who may prollt by Evans' down fall. The final outcome of this tragedy will ho awaited with interest by the whole State. The two most damning influences at work in tho country-whis key and tho ovor-roady pistol-have as usual figured prominently in the affair It would lie well for every man to jjivo careful thought, to the danger he runs in tampering with whiskey; it would he well for him to consider the fact that lie who, as a private citizen, habitually car ries a pistol is a coward-if not physi cally, then morally, Tho Best Blood Purifier.

Til KV HAD UK KN DRINKING. In tho room woro evidences of tho fact that ono or both of the men had been drinking Aside from this thoro is no reason why Griflln should have killed himself or thal Evans should have shot him.

His walking cane, clouted with blood, was several foot from where blood marks indicated that tho fatal shot had taken off oct.
