COL. W. H. EVANS.
His Death at a Good Age—A Sketch
of His Long and Useful Life.
Col. W. H. 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.

UNITED STATES MARSHAL.
Marlboro's Efficient Sheriff a Candi
date for the Position.
fBennettsville Banner.]
Col. B. A. 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.

tlemen from Darlington attend

AT THE FAIR.
Darlington Unusually Successful in
This Year’s Exhibit.
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.

ON HORSEBACK.
The Arrival of Two Young Men Who
Rode Here from Boiton.
Messrs John R. 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.

It is a peculiarity of pension
legislation that expenditure al
ways outruns estimate. 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.
Like evicted tenants, the re
publicans go out of power ma
licious and revengeful, deter
mined to leave the premises in
as bad a conuition as possible
for the new coiners.

The Town of Hartsville Will Have a
Journal of its Own.
Darlington county is to have \
another newspaper. It will be
located at the progressive town
of Hartsville and will be pub
lished by the Hartsville Publish
ing Company, which is incor
porated under the laws of the j
State, with rights to establish a
newspaper and do a general
printing and stationery business
at Hartsville. The incorpora
tors are B. S. Lucas, R. A.
Matthews, D. H. Wadsworth,
IjiCoste Evans, W. V More, J.
S. White and T. J Drew. The
last named incorporator has
been in the newspaper business
for a number of years and was
until recently connected with
the Darlington Herald. We
suppose, therefore, that the
newspaper will be comhicted
under his management. We
have not ascertained what
name will be given the paper.
