J. A. W. Thomas, the “Grand Old Kan of Marlboro,*' la dead. He retired last night One Square, first Insertion., ■very sabseqneat Insertion The editorials in this paper are writ ten in the singular number, the editorial ‘we” haring been discarded. apparently as well as usual- and was found dead in his bed this morning. He spent Saturday at the re-union of Confederate Veterans, and delivered an elo quent address describing the battle of Battery Wagner. He’ preached an able sermon in the Baptist Church at Tatum yes terday afternoon, and drove eight miles home. No one had ever lived in Marlboro who commanded more respect, esteem and love than Capt. Thomos. He was born in this Dr. C. W. Kollock, of Charles ton. in a communication to the News and Courier, last Friday, says that John Gary Evans ought to have Gen. Watts and Rich burg court martialed if it be true that the one has been drunk and the other has been making money by failing in business. Dr. Kollock quotes the military law on the subject, which is, of course, all right but how can he or anybody else expect John Gary Evans to bother himself about any such law. John Gary Evans knows full well that he ought to be impeached by the Legislature for taking commissions and violating the law in- other ways, but not even he would have the audaci ty to punish Watts and Rich- burg for the comparatively small offences of which they are said to be guilty. It Is eminently proper to call on the Governor to have these men court martialed and to county more than 73 years ago, has lifed here all his life, and has been pastor of churches here for more than half a cen tury. He has kept a list of all he has married and buried since 1865. He has been writing a history of Marlboro County for several years. He was captain of a company in the 21st South Carolian regiment, Hagood’s brigade He was wounded at Drury’s Bluff and Battery Wag ner. On last New Year,s Day a number of friends called at his home, and Judge J. H. Hud- sou, acting as their spokesman, presented him with a gold pen Capt. Thomas, replying, said that he had used the pen quite extensively in his life, for his prepared sermons would make seventy volumes of four hun dred pages each, and he had preached from 3,600 texts. He is the father of Dr. A. J. B. Thomas, of Greenville, editor of the Baptist Courier; C. P. Thomas, of Floriils; W. E. Thomas, of Bennettsville; Mrs. Lock McLaurin, of Gibson; Mrs. J. R. Sampson; and Mrs. D. D. McCall, of Bennettsville. Thj funeral will be held tomorrow at 10 o’clock.—iVetcs and Cour ier. »■ — THE KITTLI. j TW»V nuuiy * home of fTMHtoo* With turret, tower and dome, Thai knows not peace or comfort And doea not prove a home.

Ill o U- 11 o arouse public opinion to demand that some thing; be done with officers of the militia who are making such disgraceful spec tacles of themselves and the State—but we can never hope to do anything until the present crowd are ousted from office.

Duncan turned, and advancing a step towards Evans, held up a little slip of paper on which were written these words: v If Mixon says what Duncan ascribed to him on the stand at Barnwell, he lies.” “If you will put your name to that,’’ said he to Evans “Mixon will show you up.” Evans truned his face slightly to one side with a sneer on his Tips and made no reply. Duncan, returning to the front, said, "You see, boys, he don’t dare to do it" (Cheers.) Evans —I don’t notice you, sir, or any thing yon say. If Mixon knows any thing he is a trablic officer and it is his doty to use it. Do the doubting want any further proof that John Gary Evans said that Ben Tillman had been lining his pockets with rebates and that Duncan has been telling the truth about Mixon and Evans? It is indeed fitting that Tillman’s little man, whom he boosted into the Gov ernor’s mansion, should now betray him to the world. “Tne chickens are coming home to roost.” There is one thing which ought to be mentioned to the credit of John Gary Evans: He never hedges or trims when asked why he voted for Judge Wallace against Judge Y. J. Ptope when the two were run ning for the position of Associ ate Justice of the Supreme Court. Judge Wallace, it seems, was kind, on one occassion, to Gen. Evans during the war, and John Gary Evans considered that he owed him a debt of gratitude.
