COLUMBIA, 8. C., May 14.—Governor Evans has Issued a lengthy address to the cit- izens of South Carolina in which he deals very harshly with the recent decisions in the d'spen- sary and registration cases, He refers to the political history of his state since the war and argues for the right of the state “to manage and direct its internal affairs without national interference. people of South Carolina have always been law abiding and respect the constitution and courts of the United States, but when the Judges of those courts wantonly invade and our people, guaranteed by the federal consti- tution, they have a right to assert them- #elves and maintain their sovereignty and in- dependence. This they have ever done, and will_continue to do, and will resist with all the means within their power the usurpation and tyranny of partisan politicians in high places, who disgrace the judicial ermine. We cannot, nor have we the desire, to resort to arms to resist this unjust decree, but we can and will exert the united efforts of a liberty loving people to thwart the conspirators who are plotting to overthrow our civilization. In this struggle we confldently rely .i the sym- pathy and moral support of all lovers of good government and states’ rights througlout the union.
