Only for the Unborn.

WHEELING, w. VA, Jan. 12.-Thc
will Of Michael Rollly, the Wheeling
millionaire, who died last Friday, was
filed to-day, and is tho most remarkable
document Of the kind ever made in this
State, if not in the country.
By its terms his last surviving grand
child must die before the estate can bo
touched, and then it must bo divided
among his grandchildren descendants
only. AS the youngest of the grand
children is but six months old, and the
family is known for its longevity, tho
prospects for division of tho property
within the next seventy-fve years are re-
mote.
The will is the sensation Of the hour
and it is said the county clerk, Hook,
will refuse to probate it. AT least it is
certain that Mr.. Reilly's six children and
other relatives innumerable will contest
it. He does not leave dollar to any of
his children. All of tho Immense for
tune is to be held in trust by Bishop
John j. Kain, of the Catholic diocese Of
Wheeling, Mgr. Sullivan, and their sue
cessors, until the terms are complied
with.
Reilly's children, who are all grown
and married and eminently respectable
may only become beneficiaries ofthe es-
tate in case they become destitute. In
this event the executors may ayrelieve their
wants, but in no case use for the purpose
more than is necessary. Lawyers here
say that will of such character as to
provide exclusively fora generation two
degrees off and yet unborn is unprece-
dented.
All of Mr.. Reiily's descendants live
hore except Michael Roilly, Jr., who
lives in Chicago, and is said to be promi-
nent there in sporting circles. Mr..
Reilly was in the wholesale grocery and
liquor business, and with the exception
of the one in Chicago, his sons were in
his employ. They have nothing of their
own, and were living in great expecta-
fiopc

there still remain on the pension rolls
the names of a few widows of the
gallant veterans. Nancy Raines. of Car.

Maria Young, of Easton, Pa, aged 1Ol
are the oldest on the list. They must
have been very young when they mar

there is chance for some ipgenica;

The Woman Said No,

SPARTANBURa, S. c., Jan. 14.-At tho
great Spartan Mills to-day the Register
correspondent came upon an item OF
news that is as peculiar and uncommon
as ever given to the public. 1t is in the
shape Of a breach of promise in mar
riage contract, and runs about as follows :
On Sunday last an operative in the mills
was to be married to woman also en-
ployed in the mills. Every arrangement
had been made. \ dinner had been pre-
pared, the would be bride had purchased
and made her costume, and the crowd
and preacher were on hand. This was
not all. The man and woman were be-
fore the preacher. The man had gone
through the vows, pledging protection,
etc., and the preacher began the part of
the ceremony in which thei woman does
the talking, But the beginning was all.
To the surprise of man, preacher and
friends the woman drew her arm from
the arm of the man, and declared her re-
fusal to marry the man. The man urged,
the preacher urged, the crowd urged and
the woman still refused, and still refuses,
and there is no chance, so the correspon-
dent was informed, to effect "a change OF
determination. This city has never been
favored with the happening Of so roman
tic an event in its history. The man has
gone to his work in the mill and the wo-
man to hers, and, although they came
very near being man and wife they are
further removed than ever before.

: A company has been formed in

A company has been formed in
Chicago with capital Of five hundred
thousand dollars TO manufacture tho
Todd cotton harvester, which machine,
it is asserted, will rcvolutioniZo The cot
ton industry Of the South. The machine
will not be sold outright but leased.
- The Mobile Register is of the opill-
ion that it is waste Of time to advise
farmers in tho cotton belt to plant less
cotton because they arc not going to ac-
cept the advice. Cotton isa money crop
and for that reason it has attractions
which they do not seem to be able to re-
sist.
Governor Ti!lman has declared his
desire for reelection. Ho has warned
his friends and supporters that "mocca-
sins" fdriftwood" and "Haskellites"
will seek to induce some farmer to op-
pose him. lie gives all such to under
stand that he is the only man i'll all the
State that has right of way to the ES-
ecutive Office. All who oppose him arc
cncmics Of the State. That is The plain
meaning fthe Governors announcement
in Laurcns. 1t remains to be seen whetE-
cr the farmers will be owned Or controlled
by him.-CurolinG Spartan.
-Wo sincerely hopo al tho Alliance
leaders in this State arc not going to bo-
como candidates for big Offices, with fat
salaries. at the next election. The oppo-
nents of the Order are constantly declar-
ing that the leaders arc only after Office,
and if all leaders arc candidates this year
it will look as if the charge is we'll found
ed. fthey (the leaders) love tho farm
ers' cause as much as they profess let
them look among them and fine fitper-
sons for Offices with salaries ard go on
working for the cause in a spirit of self
sacrifice. No man is unselfsh who is
candidate, that is seeking by his friends
to get big Office for himself. He can't
love a cause much who wants reward
for his services in it. A living salary
ought to be attached to every office and
no man should be putin Office who can t
mako living withoutit, and any man
who seeks an Office for living by it
thereby conclusively shows his unlitness
for it. When will the people teach aspi-
rants for Office how to behave them
selves-make them wait till they are
called for.-S'Umter Freeman.

More Confidence and Less Croaking,

The Atlanta Constitution several weeks
agc had an interview with Col: r. F.
Maddox, who expressed very decided
opinions about the large amount OF
croaking in these days, and suggested a
remedy in the following remarks:
If the merchants would stop croaking
and give attention to the collection of
their debts, the farmers would soon com.
mence to look to the preparation of an
other crop. That is what we need, and
what will largely relieve the depressed
condition of things. I think this will
come soon after Chri, tmss. These croak.
ers alarm the cou L., 4 great many
people want an oppol >. to lie down
and let their debts sleep. There is
money enough in the lsnd-just as much
as there has been for several years. The
country is we'll supplied with it. The
bulk of one of the largest crops of cotton
ever made has been sold, and while the
price is low, money enough has gone to
the country to largely relieve the debts.
But there is still considerable cotton
being held in the country, and when it is
marketed, even at the low price, there
will be much less depression.
The farmers made fine crop of cora
and of everything else they planted
enough to supply them. The last crop
was made with less borrowed money by
far than any crop since the war, and, as
I hsve said before, if they will stop COM
planning, go to work and talk less about
hard times, We will have better times.
After Christmas l expect tc see a very
different state of things. People will
then commence preparing for another
year and shaping up matters. The banks
will furnish money to those who are en-
titled to ii. OF course, at such times as
these it will take better class of paper
to get it than when times are flush. Our
guano merchants have paid upon their
notes all the money they hsvo collected
from the planters, snd in many instances
more than they have collected. Taking
the situation all together. as l have said
before, confidence is what is wanted, and
less croaking, and for the farmers to 60
to work with renewed energy.
There is growing evil in the land.
The Southern people are dealing iu cot
ton futures, aud that alone has no little
to do with the depression of the present
time. The South is universally bullish,
and the downward course of the market
has caused heavy losses to our people in
both future aud spots.
The South has had uninterrupted pros
perity for several years, and we might
reasonably expect some reverses, but they
will be only temporary, as the South is
bound to move forward.
