f - EVANS CASE IN COLUMBIA Attorney General Lyon Says it Will be Called on Tuesday?Defenee Will be Readv. \ Columbia, May 25.?The case against H. H. Evans, of Newberry, charged with having accepted a bribe of $50 from Moton A. Goodman, a liquor drummer, will be called in the % Richland county court next Tuesday, according to announcement made this morning by Attorney General Lyon. Evans is charged with having accepted the alleged bribe while a member of the State board of control of the lot/i statp rfisnensarv. W VV.W v..~r Eugene S. Blease, Esq., of Newberry, has been representing Mr. Evans and it is presumed that he will appear for him in the trial here next week, although no positive announcement along this line has been made. Goodman to Appear? The indictment which was- returned against Evans in the Richland county court charged him with having accepted a bribe from Goodman, and some speculation has been aroused as to whether or not Goodman would be 4 here' to testify against Evans next week. Goodman himself was at one time under indictment for bribery, perjury, etc., but these charges were dismissed after Goodman turned State's evidence and turnd over some valuable information and data to Attorney General Lyon, which have been of use to th-e latter in the "graft" trials. Goodman V formerly lived a Savannah, Ga., but is now a resident of Cincinnati. It is said that he is at present representing some Cincinnati liquor house with California as his territory. "Label" Case. The "label case," that of the State vs. Towill, Boykin and Tatum, is set for next Wednesday and the Evans ^ y;ase, will not probably require much time, so that the label case may be called on Wednesday, if the case against Evans can be disposed of in one day. Whether this can be done or not remains to be seen, but at any rate it will not take very long to try the Evans case. The "label" case once before resulted in a mjstrial and it will take several days to dispose of it To will and Boykin were directors of the dispensary at the time when Evans was chairman and Tatum was dispensary commissioner. Towill, Boykin and Tatum are charged with having entered into an agreement with a label house, whereby the State was overcharged several thousand dollars on a label purchase, something like $22,500. Kicked Goodmaii, Says Evans. It is interesting to recall that Evans, when testifying here before the dispensary investigating committee recently, staed that once when he was on the dispensary board that he had kicked M. A. Goodman down the steps at a local hotel because Goodman offered him money. Evans said he had gone to the hotel to avoid the liquor drummers, but Goodman followed him ? ? there and when he offered him money he (Evans) kicked him down the steps. This is the same Goodman who swore that he gave .Evans a bribe of $50 and on this an indictment was returned against Evans in the Richland county court and this is the case which will be called for trial on Tuesday. Evans to Oppose Lyon. Evans has announced that he will . be in the race this summer against Mr. Lyon as a candidate for attorney gen- i eral, so that more than the usual amount of interest will be taken in the trial of this case on Tuesday. B. L. Abney and W. F. Stevenson were associated with Attorney General Lyon in the prosecutions of the other so-called "graft" cases, and it is presumed that they will appear in the same capacity next week. ^ Ready, So Far as He Knows. Mr. Eugene S. Blease, attorney for Mr. Evans, stated to The Herald and News on Monday that if the case 4 against Evans is called in the Richland court ?ii Tuesday the defence will be ready, so far as he then knew. "When Evans was under indictment in Newberry," he said, "he pressed for a trial at every term of court and the case finally nol prossed on motion of the defence for lack of prosecution by the State."

It has been reported to me the blind j j tigers, whether local or walking, are; getting to be pretty numerous in our city. I know Sheriff Buford and his two constables, Magistrate sample ana j his constable, Mr. Cannon Blease, are; always on the alert, when duty calls them. I advise them to sleep with one eye open.
