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

officers of the militia who are

DUNCAN DARES EVANS AT UNION
AND EVANS TRIES TO TREAT
HIM WITH QONTEMPT.
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. I have never before

John T. Duncan has done
more to show up the depravity
of those in high places than any-
other man now running for
office in South Carolina,, and,
therefore, deserves some cobsid
