Tillman the Only Issue.

Tillman the Only Issue.
We have been taught TO believe that the
great moving doctrine Of the Farmers ALI
ance aud Farmers Movement-not half n
hairs breadth diffsrence-was "principles
not men," but the leaders of the Tillm.n or
Farmers Movement party have gone square
back on their professions, and demand that
the candidates shall ignore principles and
make the man they will support paramount.
The Greenville News thus aptly exposes
the arbitrary, undemooratic and unmauIy
demand Of the Tillman faction of the demo.
cratic party upon candidates for Office. who
are supposed to be free men actuated by
principle and not bOssed by any man or m en- =.
Men who ask for Office in this county are
not to be asked what principles they repre-.
sent, what they can do or will try to do for
the people, or as TO their fitness or charao-
ter. Old Thomas Jefferson gave as the three
questions to be asked ofa candidate for pub
lie office, els he honest? Is he capable? /,
he faithful TO the constitution Greenyill.
county democrats are now instructed that
they must overlook all such matters as that.
The important questions are:
a'o you peeu an expressed and an
avowed Tillmanite from March, 1890 to the
present timer
"Did you vote for Shell or Duncan in 1890
in a primary?
''Will you vote for the.tselve men nomi
mated the LIST Of August by a conference Of
Iillman men to represent this county in tho
September convention?"
- are yYu in layor OF, Inc re- eiection OF IiIl-
man and other State oficers?"
DO you belong TO Tillman OF an anti
Tillman club?"
Now we submit that it is just this kind of
thing against which the conservative move.
ment is directed.
Ii Will be observed that there is no cues.
ton OF farmers movement or democracy or
any OF the serious issues now before the peo-
pie. Loyalty and obedience to Tillman is
the only test, the one issue.

s@p While we think thu violent treat.
ment Of Maj. Z. b. Murray at The Cedar
Grove meeting in Anderson County last
Monday was great outrage and disgrace.
we cannot help thinking, a'so, that the
propriety OF Maj Murray's volunteer pres.
ence at the Tillmau meeting is very doubtful.
IL dOes not appear that the Tilman speak
ers attempted to impose themselves on the
Sheppard and Orr meeting, while it is
evident that the two meetings were under
separate and distinct calls. 1t is quite legiti
mate for two political factions to call meet

: stated the hgures.. Col. Orr said that MI.

A SENSATION SPOILED.
Tho Woods win Case Compromised t

Tho Woods Will Case Compromised to
shiold Family Secrets.
LONDON, March 23-This was the day
fixed for the hearing OF the Woods will
case before Justice June, in. the probate
division Of her majesLys court of JUS
ticc. Mrs. Wood, the testrix, died some
years ago, leaving fortune Of about
100000 to her niece, then Mrs. O'Shea,
but now the widow of Charles Steward
Parnell. The other nieces and nephew
brought suit to have the will set aside,
alleging that undue influence had been
used upon Mrs. Wood to get her to
make her will in Mrs. ParnelPs favor.
After Justice Jeune had taken his
scat upon the bench and the court was
formally declared open, Sit. Charles
Russell, counsel for Mrs. Parnell, who
by the popularity OF English law was
tho plaintiff in the case, announced
that the case had been settled by
family arrangement. Ever since the
trouble over tho will first arose, it was
predicted that this would be the out
come oflcgal proceedings. Tho decision
was based on the fact that ii the case
came to trial and testimony was taken
there would be many scandalous revel-
atoms that would be painful to all the
parties concerned. The terms of the
settlement have not been made public,
but it is believed that Mrs. Parnell, to
whom everything was left, has con-
scnted to relinquish to the seven
claimants considerable share OF her
inheritance. ..4

A REMARKABLE BOOM

Which Has Forced Itself on 4 Faismont.
Factories Located = Tho Suw Town.
Enormous Increase OF tho Coal nnd Coke
business.
Business moro than politics Is oc.
cupying tho attention OF our people
this year." said Mayor Thomas W.
Fleming last night to IN IyLELLlcEScEn
reporter. Everything is on tho boom
in and about Fairmont, and this year
will witness important operations. The
mines are all running full aud the de-
mand for tho coal and coke product OF
tho Upper Monongahela field, OF which
Fairmont Is tho centre, Is constantly in
crcasing." #lI.ra
"What Is being done in other lines7'
"Thc new addition to tho town has
boon laid of by the Improvement Com.
pany and 1t will DO built up rapidly.
Moro than n hundred houses will be
built OH this addition this summer.
Yesterday tho Sloan Glass Company, OF
Cumberland, signed IN agreement with
the improvement Company to locate a
factory at Fairmont, and will begin tho
construction Of flint glass works for
tho manufacture OF fine table ware i'm
mediately. About seventy glasswork-
ors will DO employed ut tho start. A
Findlay concern will BIO on in n day or
two and sign a similar agreement, so
TINT before tho summer Is over there
will DO two glaas factories in operation.
An abundance OF the finest glass sand
is right on tho ground, and the cheapest
fuel in tho United States is at tho very
doors. M
"That isn't all; other manufacturing
enterprises are coming, attracted by tho
inexhaustiblo supply OF cheap fuel and
tho splendid shipping facilities. Tho
Monongahela River railroad (the Cam
don road) will. in few days, begin the
construction OF their separate limo into
tho town, and will no longer DO under
the Inconvenience OF using the b. & O.
tracks. The latter road is arranging for
increased traffic. Five years ago tho
coal and coke industry ut Fairmont was
insignificant. Now the shipments arc
over twenty thousand tons week. Tho
B. & O. engineers will be on tomorrow
to arrange for the building Of fine new
depot. -
"Thc now town, or South Fairmont,
as il is called, was made necessary by
the rapid increase OF tho population,
caused by this enormous growth OF tho
coal business. 1t connected with the
old town, from which it is divided by a
deep ravine, by a splendid new steel
bridge over 200 feet long and ninety feet
high. The new addition is beautiful
spot-practically Lowell, and will make
one of the handsomcst cities in the
state. 1t will accommodate popu-
lation OF several thousand.
"All this boom is not the result OF
sporadic effort. The resources were
there and tho capital just naturally
sought them. It literally forced itself
on Fairmont and has come to stay"
