Evans, whom we mentioned in our last issue as being at the point of death as the result of a stroke of paraly sis, died early on Thursday morning. His remains were in terred in Trinity Episcopal t hiirchyard at Society Hill, on Friday, Rev. A. A. Me Don no ugh, the rector of the church, con ducting the services. The fol lowing gentlemen acted as pall- beareis : Messrs. E. T. Coker, W. C. Wilson, T. H. Coker, A. M. Sompayrae, C. H. Race, J. T. Rogers, J. J. Mdver, E. M. Griffin, Bright Williamson, E. M. Williamson and R. E. James. The church was crowded with friends who wished to pay their last mark of respect to the mem ory of the deceased. William Henry Evans was 1 orn at Society Hill in Septem ber, 181!), and was, consequent ly, it the time of his death, in the seventy fourth year of his age. He was the son of Hon. Josiah J. Evans, who was one of the most eminent of South Carolina’s ante-bellum Judges and who was also a distinguished United States Senator. Col. Evans was graduated from the South-Carolina College in 1839. He began the study of law, but soon abandoned it for in which vocation he gat ed until his death. While a very young man he represented Darlington county in the Legislature for several terms. At the breaking out of the war he was elected Captain of Company F, of the historic and gallant Eighth Regiment. He went with his command to Virginia and participated in the bloody battle of First Manassas. In the fall of 1861, owing to im paired health, he had to resign the Captaincy and return home. As an evidence of the high esteem in which Col. Evans was held by his comrades-in-arms, we will quote from a letter which the late R. E. James wrote to his family at home while in camp in Virginia. The writer was a brother of Gen. W. E. James, who kindly- furnished us with the letter and was a member of Col., then Capt., Evans’ command (Co F. 8 B. C. V.) and also his messmate. The letter was writ ten from “Camp Bonham” Centerville, Va., and was dated November, 30, 1801. The quo tation, reads as follows : “We have lost our captain f W. H. Evans] at last and he leaves us universally regretted. He is one of the few men for whom the daily contact of life causes a growing respect on the part of his associates, without the temptation to Undue familia rity ; eminently endowed with the capacity of commander, while he possessed those quali ties of heart which equally fit him for the every day duties of the responsible position he has just vacated.” After he returned home he was appointed a member of the Governor’s Advisory Board. The late M. L. Bonham was Governor at the time and the duty of the board was to advise the Governor in the grave mat ters of State which so often arose in those turbulent times. Subsequently Col. Evans was made Lieutenant Colonel of the State’s reserves. During the dark days of Re construction Col. Evans re mained, like all true sons of Carolina, in private life, but when the horde of dishonest Northerners and ignorant ne- grois was driven from t>’e con trol of the State, the white peo ple of Darlington county, in 1878, elected him School Commis sion er, which position he occu pied until death claimed him. In June, 1842, Col. Evans mar ried Jane, daughter of Mr. John D. Witherspoon. His wife, his helpmate for over fifty years, survives him. Three sons also survive him, Messrs. C. D. and J. W. Evans, who are residents of Darlington, and Mr. W. H. Evans, who lives in Florida. The Realization of the Great S$F«ety j The l*l«n of the Republicans to Make Event Exceeds all Anticipations.

Rogers, who has been Sheriff of this county for the past fourteen years, has en tered the race for United States Marshal for the District of South Carolina. Should he re ceive the appointment we can guarantee that he will fill the place acceptably and creditably. He was a soldier with spotless record and to-day bears on his person the scars of seven wounds received in battle. We believe there are few men more favora bly known in the Pee Dee coun try. He is, in manners, genial and affable, and yet in duty al ways firm. We believe he will receive the endorsement of his acquaintances almost to a man. The ball, which was given by the people of Sumter, on Wed- desday night of last week, in compliment to Darlington, was successful to a degree that ex ceeded even the brightest antici pations. The visitors were most hospitably entertained by the good people of Sumter and nothing was left undone that would tend to add to the pleas ure of the occasion. The at tendance at the ball was unus ually large, a great many from other places, besides Darlington, being present. The occasion will furnish the participants many pleasant recollections in ■ the years to come when the present will be among the mem ories of the past. The following ladies and gen tlemen from Darlington attend ed : Mrs. R. W. Boyd, Mrs. F. E. Norment, Mrs. R. C. Starr, Jr., Mrs. W. M. Haynsworth, Miss May Ervin, Miss Josephine McCall, Miss Alma McCown, Miss Annie Williamson, Miss Nonie Williamson, Miss Emma Williamson, Miss Anna Rogers, Miss Clara Ward, Miss Meta Williamson.

Gur readers were furnished in the last issue of Thk News with the long list of premiums received by Darlingtonians at the recent State Fair. There are some features attending Darlington successful exhibit that are worthy of special men tion. Mr. J. N. Kervin made exhibits in eleven driving rings and secured premiums in nine. Ho exhibited twenty horses and fifteen of them took prizes. No other single exhibitor at the Fair was as successful as this. Jim Wilkes, Mr. C. S. McCul lough’s county raised stallion, took the premium for the best single harness stdlion. This premium was open to the world and there were twenty-one en tries, including fine Kentucky bred animals. In the horse ex hibit as a whole Darlington out stripped every other county. Another exhibit from this coun ty worthy of special mention was made by Mr. C Mooney. The mantels manufactured by him received the highest praise from the visitors and the press and secured first premiums. “White” machines for $1,50 at Blackwell Bros.

Whipple and Willie Sellers, two young Bos tonians who are making a tour of the United States on horse back, arrived last week at the residence of their uncle, Capt. Paul Whipple, in this county. A description of their journey was given in a recent issue of The News. They left Boston on October 10 and hence made the ride to Darlington in little over a month. They took their time, stopping at the different cities of interest on the way. Their baggage was carried along with them by means of a pack horse, which they led. The young gentlemen will re main with their uncle for some time, enjoying the pleasant climate of the “Sunny South.” They will then continue their ride through the West, visiting the great cities of that section, and will return to their homes in Boston through the North western States.

Every year Congress is called upon to make good a deficiency in the amount of appropriation. Ig norance cann >t, therefore, be pleaded as an excuse for legis-, lation involving vast payments without any adequate provision for meeting them. When the Dependent Pension bill was under consideration the Democrats in Congress proposed that provision should be made to cover the expenditure by levy ing a special tax on income, or by reviving the duties on tea and coffee. But the Republi cans would listen to nothing of the kind. In Congress, and the Administration, they laughed to sCorn the estimates of exnendi] ture asextravagantand absurd. They declared that the revenues of the Government would be more than sufficient to meet the cost of the measure. Instead of making any provision for it, they swept away $50,000,000 of fiscal revenues from sugar, and put a burden of $10,000,000 be sides upon the Treasury in su gar bounties. As a result, the surplus of the government is gone, and the government is confronted with the imminent danger of a deficit. The Secre tary of the Treasury can do no more than express the hope that no deficit will arise before the close of the fiscal year. In the meantime the parti- organs intimate that the Demo cratic party will obtain no help from the outgoing Administra tion in the work of lifting the finances from their present con dition. So far from it, threats have been th’own out that the Republicans v. ill do all that may lie in their power to obstruct and defeat the Democratic poli cy of tariff revision. It may, indeed, be suspected that the repeal of the sugar duties on the one hand, and the passage of extravagant pension bills on the other, without any provision of revenue to meet the new de mands upon the treasury, were intended to make tariff reform impossible. Unless some check upon expenditure shall be de vised the yearly revenue must be increased to $550,000,000.
