r ' \ ALL A SORREL MARE AJVJPJTE AS TO THE OWNERSHIP WILL BE CARRIED TO COURT. Mr. Barnard Evans Says Governor Ellerbe Made an Election Bet With Him PUdglug Hie Blooded Mare "dally," Which the Governor Oenlee. Columbia, April 7. There is a beautiful chestnut sorrel mare that is s^en t?7 often on the streets of Columbia. She is a neat and spry aaimaJ, aud knovs how to make a mile in quick time. There is a bit of history back of this oaareth^t is not generally known, although it has been whispered about the city for several months. The mare, Sally, by name, is the occasion of a lawsuit that promises to he quite interesting, both from the facts that are to be brought out, as well as the personnel of those who make up the principal parties to the suit. It is not a usual thing for the Governor of a State and the brother of a former Governor to go to law about the possession of a horse, but such is the case io this instance it is more usual for the contests to be for offices. By way of preface, Mr. Barnard B. Evans, now of Columbia, is driving and claiming ownership of the mare Sally. Governor Ellerbe contends * most emphatically that the mare be bugs to him, and that Mr. Evans has no claim whatever on the aforesaid mare. Tnis morning about 9 o'clock Governor Eilerb9 was seen at the execui>alaiivAtn th? matter, ar-d asked for bis side of the litigation. lie . promptly said taut the mt'terwasin the courts, and that he did not think that it was rigat for hiai to have any thing tossy about the matter as long as the issue was pending in the courts of the State. He said that there were others who were familiar with his side of the case. When asked the point blank question whether he had made a bet with Mr. Barnard B Evans, on which the horse is contended to have been won, he most distinctly and une quivocaliy said that Mr. Evaos and he ^ bad never made a bet involving this or any other horse, and that Mr. E rans bad no right, title or claim whatever on the mitre, and that this he expected to prove in the courts at the propsr litnc, and that was just as soon a* it was possible to do so. The contention on which Governor Ellerb3 claims absolute possession of Sally is, he wever, given from entirely satisfactory sources. It appears that Governor Eilerbe bought the mare "dally," from the stock farm at Pendleton, with which Major Augustine T. Smythe, of Charleston, is connected. The mare was oi fine stock, with a record of 2.22 Mr. George W. Height, a horse train Of, wno Q&a naa cnarge 01 me training of horaes for people in this State, om here and Governor EUerbe turned "Sally" over to Mr. Haight for ttie xrarpcse of having her trained. Mr. Haight also had for the purpose of training a brother of "Sally," named "Ely," belonging to Major Smythe, of Charleston. It was suggested to Mr. BTerbe, after Mr. Haight had had his snare for some time, that he might hare trouble in getting his mare oack from Mr. Haight, and Mr. EUerbe understood that Major Smytbe had experienced considerable trouble in getting back his horse "Ely," that Mr. Haight had put up one of bis horses, and that when Mr. Smythe wanted his hone there were heavy charges for feed and the like, but Mr. Smythe finaft; managed to get his horse back. Mr. EUerbe then became worried ?Kr?nt hia animal and kent a look out for her. Mr. Ellerbe found that Mr. Haight had taken his racing stable to Savannah, and among the bsrses taken was "Sally." About this time Gov. Xllerbe was in Columbia, and he says that he met Mr. Evans at the State H*UM( and the two got to talking ntoatitho mare. Mr. Evans told Governor Ellerbe, so the story of this side JfOes, that he was going to Savannah on a free pass. Governor Ellerbe re masked that he might get "Sally" while he was down there. Mr. Evans suggested that he be given an order on ^ Mr. Haight for the mare. They went * V into ihe Comptroller General's office, w and toe order was duly given for Mr. \^vacs to get the horse. Governor Elja be did not think that Mr. Evans . no. Id be able to get the mare, as he feartu' fhat Mr. Haight would have all kinds < charges for feed and the like for toe bat to bis.surprise Mr. Evans got \ he mare, and had her brought to C&Umbia. Governor Elkrbe, it is ssid, -promised Mr. Evans that be could drr ~ the mare for a monih or two. or uo ' he wanted h?r. if he succeeded in ^t-ci??w^i^r^rom Mr. Haight, and on this condition, and vhis aioGovernor Ellerbe is said to-1 avo *ven the orderGovernor Eilerbe, it is understood, contends K:at he never heard that the ho??e njb to be regarded as & wager until ^;er he came to Columbia and J claim fcr it. After Mr. Evans ie horse for a while he thought ight as welflethim hold onto itil he came over as Governor, remor Ellerbe will Rwear when se comes to trial that he did not nmT, w'th M* Fcrane and /JiaAC duj wck nnu maa. u . that the horse was never given ko Mr. Evans for any consideration whatever, and that the distinct understanding was that he was to get the horse as soon as ne wanted her. Governor Ellerbe will say that he may have jokingly made a wager with Mr. Evans that he would do this or that, but thai he has never in his life made a wager with Mr. Evans or anyone else. There is even the intimation that Mr. Evans had an idea that the case would L.>tgoto court,, as Governor Ellerbe did not want even the suggestion that he wagered on elections. Governor ililsrbe, however, it appears, has put the case in the hands of his counsel, Mr. J. T. Barron, of this city, and has instructed him to push the case to tne end and to recover the horse at any aost, and that he will bring suit for damages to cover the use of the horse under the protest of Governor Ellerbe. a Governor Ellerbe, when he came to Columbia, asked for the horse to drive with the fall sister of "dally," but the return was refused apparently much to bis surprise. Under an arrangement, which seems to be in dispute, Governor Ellerbe obtained possession of thi mare. Governor Ellerbe says tbiit. AM tiis buggy bad not arrived, and he hvt obtained tne one to which the m*re had been driven he told Mr. Evans tbat he would lend him the in ire waenever he wanted to use her out of courtesy for the u?eof the bu*gy. Mr Evans sent for the mare to uke h five ?? iie trip in the Country, and Gov rnor E.lerbe sect him word that he could have the sister to "Sally" as "Sally" was being treated for her legs and that be did not like her to be driven for so Ions a distance. On the following Saturday Governor Ellerbe drove dowuto the barber shop with "Sallv," and while he was in the shop Mr. Ev^ns went up to the negnin the butgy, and it is stated, took pos session of the turnout, and ctrried it to the stab'es where it was put up. Governor Ellerbe then brougnt action for claim and delivery, as it is called. Mr. Evans gave bond for $300 for the horse, and it is over this that th?? suit is being brought. The case has not yet come to trial, and it is not known when it will come up. It is understood that Governor Ellerbe says that Mr. Evans has as much right to any mule on his plantation as he has to the mare "Saily^aod that he is very much outraged at the turn the case has taken, and the contention of Mr Evans, in which there is he c intends absolutely no foundation in fact. Now for the other side of the matier, and just here it is to be said that tie very best sources of information were used and the facts here given as best thev could be derived and without any favor whatever. Mr. Barnard B. Evans was sevn at nis insurance office early this morning, and asked about the case. He said that he would not have anything to say about the case, as it was in the courts, ind he did not think it right for nim to come out and say anything at this time, but added that he would be heard from when the case came to trial, and that be expected to hold on to the horse and that it was his property by every right and title. He, however, referred to a friend who could and would give all the information that was solicited. It was learned that Mr. Evans's side of the matter is like this: In the campaign of 1894, when Mr. Ellerbe and Mr. John Gary Evans ran forGover nor in the State primary, Mr. John Gary Evans mapDed out his plan of campaign, and told his brother, Mr. Barney Evans, that he wanted him (Mr. B. B. Evans) to look after Anderson County, and see that everything possible was done to have the c.-mntv on for him. On Saturdav when the campaign party was at Lexington court house, the Gubernatorial candidates did not attend the meeting. Mr. Barnard B. Evans was on the train going to Florence, ancfGoyernor Eilerbe was on the same train going to Marion, his home. They got to talking about the near approaching primary, and Governor Eilerbe, the contention is pulled out an envelope on which he had a list of counties which he said be would carry in the primary. Mr. Evans questioned his carrying these counties, and went on to say that he noted that Anderson was on the list, and that he was certain that his brother, Governor Evans, would carry the county. Mr. Eilerbe did not a^ree with his idea, and Mr. Evans will contend that before the discussion closed Governor Eilerbe said: "I will give you a fine chestnut sorrel mare, against $5 if I don't carry Anderson County." Mr. Evans will hold that he ask^d Governor Eilerbe if he was in earnest, and he replied by saying. "I won't make a bet with ycu, but I will give you that fine mare against 25 if I do dot carry Anderson County. Mr. Evans proposed that they 4 shake" on tnat. Governor Ellerbe agreed to this, and they, it is said, shook hands. Mr. Evans contends that this was a bona fide agreement and as such he proposed to keep the horse, which was given him under the terms named. They ate breakfast together at Flor ence. Mr. Evans, it is said, cut his visit short so as to return to Anderson County and see that all possible work was done for the carrying of the county for his brother and the winning of the mare. The primary was held, and Anderson County went for Mr. John Gary Evans. Subsequently, Mr. Evans will contend, he met Governor Ellerbe in the city and asked him 44 What about that horseI" Governor Ellerbe gave him an order for "Sally" in due iorui, Qb\. r" fo Savannah and got the torse that he won >n Anderson Comity, and under tali. Mr. E\ ans> says, he has a p^r'ect rfviit to hold and ktep the mare, and will light the case to the end. Governor Ellerbe when he came to Columbia asked for the return of the mare. Mr. Evans refused to return her. Then, it is said by Mr. Evans's , side, that Governor Ellerbe asked Mr. i Evans to come up to the Mansion to see him about the matter. Mr. Evans went there with his friend, Mr. Bones. , Mr. Evans refused to "ltnd" Gover[ nor Ellerbe the horse, as be requested, so it goes, unless he had something in writing. Governor Ellerbe refused to give anything in writing to show that i he had borrowed the horse, hisconten tiou beine that the horse belonged to him. "You can have her whenever i you want her, on the word of the ; Governor of the State," was the state1 ment of Governor Ellerbe, is the coni tention, and on such a plane Mr. Evans, it is stated, gave the use of the mare to Governor Ellerbe. A few i days afterwards Mr. Evans wanted the mare to take a trip in the country, and tent for the mare. Governor Ellerbe sent back word that he was having 4'Sally" treated, and offered the use of "Sally's" sister. Mr. Evans declined, and took this as a refusal to return his horse or let him use his own property. A few days after this Mr. Evans saw the mare and took possession of her. This brought on the proceedings for claim and delivery, the bond for the mare and the proceedings in the courts for the possession of the mare. Mr. B. L. Abney, of this bar. has been employed t^ represent Mr. Evans in the litigation, and Mr. Evans also expects to see the fight through to the finish, and contends that Governor 1 Ellerbe will never from the facts of tne case get possession of the mare. It is said by Governor Ellerbe's side that Mr. Evans has offered, since ttie litigation began, to buy the mare and other compromises. All of these Governor Ellerbe has dsclined to entertain in any way, as he wishes the matter settled once for all as a ques ' * ? - 1 - J ucq lias oeen raisea, aua ou iue uiucr hand the represeatati\esof Mr. idvans contend that they have made absolutely no overtures to purchese "Sally" or anv other kind of advances, but are anxious for the case to be tried.

VANCE WAS ELECTED State Liquor Commissioner b/ the State Board of Control. Columbia, S. C., April 9. The State board of control was in session nearly all day yesterday, but it was not until about midnight last night that the results of the day's work could be ascertained. During the day, at noon, the members of the board visited the executive chamber by in vitation of Gov. Ellerbe and a conference was held in regard to the matter of the granting of hotel and beer privileges. Gov. Ellerbe frankly told the board that he did not consider that the Constitution and the act gave the beard or any one else the right to crant such snecial nrivileces. His position was that the law should ap ply to every citizen of the State equally. The conference was a pleasant one. Last night th& board announced that it had decided, in view of the governor's attitude, to grant no more such privileges, though several have been applying for them, until the matter can be definitely settled. A case will j be arranged at once and carried before the State supreme court, the object being to have the question judicially determined forthwith. In the meantime all privileges heretofore granted will stand as they are. It is expected 1 toat the case can be heard next week. Last night the board went into the much-talked-of elections. Practically all of them were disposed of save that 1 for clerk of the board. In the meantime Mr. Scruggs, who has been the 1 clerk of the board since its formation, will continue to discharge the duties j of that office for a month, and his two assistants will remain 'in their re- ' spective positions. One ballot was taken lor tne cnairmahship of the board now held by Col. Wilie Jones. Tne ballot resulted ! as follows: Jones 2, Williams 1, Douthit 1, blank 1- The last vote was cast by Col. Jones. There was no election, and the board decided to let 1 this matter go over to the next meeting. Mr. Samuel W. Vance, of Laurens, the efficient assistant clerk of the ; house of representatives for several years, was elected State liquor commissioner. On the streets this selection met with general approval. Mr. Vance is a popular man and is well qualified for the duties of the office. There were numerous candidates for the position. Mr. Gaston, who has 1 been acting commissioner, it is said, did not receive a single vote. Mr. D. A. G. Outz, who has been the shipping clerk of the dispensary 1 since its establishment, was re-elected to thaLposition. 1 Mr. K. ?. Blakeley was likewise re- , elected clerk to the commissioner. The office of superintendent former- ; ly beJd by Mr. Gaston under Col. , Mixson's administration, was abolish- ' Hi/1 fko nneihnn r\f fnrAmnn rrftAt- 11 ed in its stead. Mr. T. EL Dickson, of ' Oconee, was elected to fill the new po 1 sition. His salary was fixed at $75 a ' month. Mr. John B. Dorn, of Edgefield, was elected as head drayman of the 1 dispensary, succeeded Mr. Ward, who has held the position for several years. The usual purchases of liquors were ! made, but no information as to the amounts purchased or from whom purchased was made public. It was stated on the streets yesterday that Messrs. Dosher and Mantoue, two well-known wholesale liquor \ dealers, were ready to make a proposition to the board to have them turn 1 the entire business over to them, guar- ' auteeing to pay the State $250,000 cash annually and give a bond of $500,000 for complying with the law. Tnis otfer was not officially made to th? boaid, ar.d it been it would not have been within the power of the board to consider it, sucn a proposition being a matter for the legislature alone. State. Opened hj Cubans. New York, Ap41 7. A special to The World from Havana says: Calabazar, in this province has been raided, the Spanish jail forced open and eighteen insurgents, who were to be snot this week, released. Most of the Spanish guard of fifty wore killed or wounded. Among the prisoners was Senora Isabella Teresa Montezi, said to be a relative of General Acosta. She is nearly fifty years of*age and has been confined in the vile dungeon more than three months. She disap* peared from her residence, two miles from this place and her friends had made many attempts to ascertain her 1 whereabouts, but without success. When found she was in rags and emaciated to a shocking degree. She was very prominent in that section, < had been raised in afiiuence and her i imprisonment almost destroyed her I reason. The insurgents were so wrought up i by this discovery that they fired the i held where they had the fight and hacked the bodies of their fallen enemies relentlessly, so as to be sure that no spark of life remained in any of them. % I f THE PENSION BOARDS. Th? Organization of All Work fortbe Virion* Boirdi< Pointed Oat. The following rules for the guidance of townsaip and county boards of pensions have just oeen issued by the State Board: The pension boards organized in 189t5 will at one 5 call together the soldiers and sailors resident in such township in their respective counties, fixing ihe time and place for each meeting in each township. Those soldiers and sailors, when assembled, elect one of their numbers chairman and another secretary. Ten days after this township organization tne chairmen of these township boards meet at the county seat and elect four or their number and one physician as a county examining board of pensions. Pensioners now applicants for pensions cannot be elected a member of township pension boards. When old soldiers cannot be found in the townships, reputable resident citizens may be e'ected If any to wnship shall fail or refuse to organize as required by this act, then the county board should recommend three good men, not pensioners, to the 8tate Pension Board, who will apointsuch township board?. All pensioners resident in the townships must appear in person before the township boards. Those already on the pension roll need not prepare and file new applications. All new applicants must be presented to and have the approval or disapproval, of the township boards and county boards before the State Board can approve. Township boards can drop from the roll of pensioners, as now constituted, the name or names of any party or parties which in their judgment are not entitled to a pension under the laws, and add to the roll only such names of new applicants as may file such applications, with proof of service thereon, as indicated by the blank forms prepared by the State Board. Applications defective or not filled up correctly in each particular, although approved b? township and county boards, will be disapproved by the State Board. Applications approved or disapproved by the State Board cannot be returned to the county or township boards after money has been prorated and paid out. Township and county boards will notice that the law provides three classes, "A," "B" and "0," (with five subdivisions of class "C," at frlJows: Class A. Those who have lost both arms, or both hands, or both legs, or both eyes, or whose absolute disabili ty arising from wounds are equivalent to toe loss of either. This does not include soldiers whose disabilities arise from d seases or causes arising since the war . x Class B. Those who have lost one arm or one leg, or whose disabilities fmm nnnnrlt am prmivftlent tf> the loss of an arm or leg. Class C. (No. 1) Those soldiers and sai lors disabled by wounds, but not suilhient to bs placed in class B, whose inc3mes do not exceed $250. Class C. (No. 2.) Those who have reached the age of sixty years and whose incomes do not exceed $100. Class C. (No. 3.) Widows of those who lost their lives in the service of the State or Confederate States and whose incomes do not exceed $250. Class C. (No. 4.) Widows above the age of sixty years, whose income does net txceed $100. Class C. (No. 5.) Widows of pen sioners. This class is not mentioned in the printed Act sent out, but by the act approved December, 1894. Blanks for the reports of township and county boards in accord with these classes and sub-divisions have been prepared and mailed to Auditors to distribute among these boards. Class A gets $6 per month or 172, and will be paid in full thin amount; Class B, $4 per month O" a n itL ...1. .'i. ...u t*0; HUU C1U9V W1U1 CWUUl 1U9 BUUdivisions, 13 per month or $36. After class A is paid, the balance will be pro rated between B and C on the basis of $4 to $3. This money will be sent to the clerks of Courts as heretofore provided in the appropriation i Acts each year, and will be sent just as soon as the roll for the State can 1 be corrected and completed. I, Township boards cannot be too careful in these matters of "income" and 1 physical condition." It is a very pcor j man whose gross income from'labor i and other sources, does not exceed i $100, or poor lands, if any, which does not produce this amount. Property in applicant s or his wife's nam 3 debars them. Where soldiers or widows dispose of their property by giving or selling to their children, they are debarred from receiving a pension. The question of service to the State in connection with the various classes i of reserve cirried into the service of the State just at the close of the war, will depend much upon the evidence submitted to the State Board. When real service was rendered, ghe pension should be allowed. Any citizen of the State over sixty years of age, and otherwise qualified, is as much entitled to a pension as that class of her good citizens who merely met and or- 1 ganized on call, without real service. Let township and county boards act J prompuy anu iairry, giving tuo uw?ic Board full information with complete reports by township for each county 1 writing names full and clear, with particulars for approving or disapproving each case. Township boards ] must first approve or disapprove, in i writing, each new application, and then county hoards and afterwards 1 the State Board. ; When old boards (1896) have acted under laws then of force and approved or disapproved applications for pen- j sions, let such applications be sent to township boards, then to county boards to be approved or disapproved under the Act of 1897 amending for j trier Acts. . j Respectfully, D.

The condition of affairs in this section of the Mississippi river continues serious. Want is today at the door of many laborers. The Yazo, Miss., delta embraces ten counties with a population ot nearly 400,000, people, 70 per cent, of which are farm laborers. The secretary of war has kept himself in telegraphic communication with the governor of Mississippi seeking information concerning the needs of the flooded districts. Governor McLanrin in turn has kept in telegraphic communication with the representative men of the delta, and yet he has advised that assistance was not needed. Today's advices gave a more extended report of the prevailing condition, and the leading planters and business men of Washington county sent a dispatch to the governor appealing for government aid. The Mississippi floods continue and there is great suffering among the people of the flooded sections- The call for help has been answered by the National Government appropriating two hundred thousand dollars for the protection of the life and property of the sufferers.
