ter is to appeal to the members, foriMA

The South Carolina Tribunal Says
Charges Made by Disbarred Man
Against Saluda Sheriff and Others
Ai*a All Pal?a
Columbia.?Barnard B. Evans is indefinitely
suspended irorn the practice
of law and deprived of the rights
and duties of an attorney, with the
right of moving at the end of two
years for reinstatement upon satisfactory
proof that he has not used intoxicating
liquors for two years. This
was unanimous verdict of the Supreme
Court. The opinion was written by
Acting Chief Justice Woods and concurred
by Associate Justices Hydrick,
Watts and Frazier and Special Associate
Justice Nichols. .
That B. B. Evans endorsed and
misappropriated to his own use a
check for >189.90 belonging to George
L. Salter, wMch he had secured for
Salter as his attorney, and that he
'misapplied to his own use money
wihich he had collected for the Murray
Drug Company from J. E. Dowling
were conc'uslons reached by the
ooart.
The charges which Evans made
against B. W. Crouch and E W. Able
lattorMysof&iUida that they were
wMrralse and
the court In this connection:
*'I? It for this court to animadvert
upon the prevalent exaggeration an<?
excess1 In public speech so discreditable
and misleading? Allowance must
be made for weak men who drift with
a current into untrue statements and
who assume one character In private
life and another In public speech. A
charge of falsehood against an attorney
so weak as to meet expletive
with excess in the heat of political
campaign would rarely be considered
by the courts la disbarment proceedings,
but untrue asservationr
without probable cause made by a
member of the bar that certain citizens
have stolen or burned specific
property Is a serious ofTense, going to
the foundation of character, must be
weighed by the courts, especially
w^hen coupled with other offenses
Showing reckless disregard of professional
duty."

Most of the planters point to the feet
that last year up to about the 5th of
June, owing to lack of rain, it looked
as if the erope would perish. Just at
that time heary rains set in and the
best all round crops were made in
this county last year, with the exception
of the banner year, two years
ago, that hare been made since ltd.
