John pafy Evans at Abbovillo said (if
conoctly reported) that "Tillman had

litical slaves. Tho North boasted that
Lincoln and Potor tho Groat had sot

about Lincoln; Peter, howovor, Is
hardly entitled to so much credit; ho
'oad about a million of his bonightod

nd thus indeed woro they set free.

How to get there is the question.
Many aro bound to get left. "The
wisest plans of mice and men gang aft

vice in this case but relate a classical
anecdote and tho problem may bo
solved If too many don't tako hold.
Two darkoys went hunting and found
a cave. One entered the small cavity
to explore; a bear, tho owner of the
cave, appeared and immediately fol
lowed him. Tho darkey who remained
outside solzod him by tho tail and
hold hard. Tho darkey inside cried
out, "What darkoo do hole?" tho out
side darkey answering, "Nebbor you
mind; If dls tall holt break loose you
find out what darkeo do hole."

Tho call for tho meeting of Laurons
Reformers to "consider the Collotou

bo candidates this year.

OUR COLUMBIA LETTER.
EVANS HAS A WALK OVER
AT ABBEVILLE.
Found Want in-; When Com
pared to Ben.
Colukuia, March 10th.
That Abbevlllo meeting was in part
a failure and in part a success. It
demonstrated to the peoplo of Abbo
villo that John Garv Evans is an agress
ive little fellow who talks stiff talk.
He was able to show off to considera
ble advantage as compared with Dr.
Popo, whoso candidacy ovorybody
mirthfully regards, and Dr. Tiramor
man, who is an honost old gentleman
and very much of a truo man, but to
tally dovold of oratorical spangles and
tho political tinsel which draws tho
votors. Evans had no difficulty in ex
emplifying himself as tho dashiest
man in tho crowd and that was tho
principal object of the mooting.
But in two things Mr. Evans failed.
In tho first placo unassuming Mr. W.
D. Evans, plain Mr. Ellorbo and doco
rous Mr. Tindal were too clover to
pormlt themselves to appear as a part
of the stage sotting for tho Alken
star. Thov know that ho would bo a
twinklor in old Abbovillo and so they
declined his offer of battle. Thoroforo
Mr. Evans had no recourse but to
gougo his thumbs in tho sod, liko tho
follow in Georgia scones and show tho
Abbovillians "what ho could ha' done."
In tho seeond placo, Mr. Evans failed
to establish a strong resemblance to
to Tillman. Judging from all the re
ports of his speech, it was liko blue
john to oggnog as compared with the
Cyclopean blows of Bon. I think it
was intended to show that Evans was
tho very impersonation of Bon, Bon in
a now edition full-morocco and gilt
edges, but yot Bon, bravo clamorous
and oxecrativo. Mr. Evans cannot play
successfully in such roles. Thoy aro
above him. Bantam weights can t cut
high jinks in hoavy woignt caparisons.
It is out of tho 11nest ion. In tho Son
ate chamber Evans is an astonishor, a
dazzling jot of flamo, but In tho soni
bor gloom of tho big outside ho flares
and lliokoi'8.
Senator Jno. Gary Evans would not
bo a very dangerous man, another
Tillman as Governor. Ho Is educated,
a lawyer, and is not a stranger to busi
ness life. He knows something about
railroads, having practiced somo for
thorn. All his associations until tho
recent past have been such as to imbue
him with Conservative tendoncios and
were ho elected Governor It is safe to
say that declarations mado in tho for
vlil heat of oratory would bo some
times forgotten whilo ho lent a re
spectful oar to tho demands of the bus
iness Interests of tho Stato. A hard
hearted stubborn man, who went into
office with his tooth sot and his ga/o
fixed would prove a much moro dan
gerous Governor than Jno. Gary Evans
and therefore more displeasing to the
Antls.
