Kg to gome of j oar leaders,
jfh as they have passed alnnstj
from the present history of the !
r, and yet arc still such an im!
element in this city's growth
pelopmeut, I hare gathered np
acts in their history which may
e to some extent their present
? r?/\ti?irtn in enripfv- wf)ir,h is
WW (.?!..? ..
Hist a unique one, and give^ou
idea as to how zealously they
to guard the more salient features
leir religion, such as dress, manner
peech, and so on.
[is quite an interesting fact to note
' they have preserved almost intact
distinctive features of their man
im of Jife for so long a time and with
Hth close and intimate contact with
H progressive tendencies of our civHLation.
Instead of being assiiniHted
with the masses of the people
Kcially and losing mnch of that which
m so quaint and suggestive of the sevenleenth
century life and customs, they
not only do not allow themselves to be
absorbed, but exact this tribute of
xheir~convert-;?that they conform to
their manners as- well as their creed,
thus furthering that which has not
only given them prominence as a religions
sect, but which has peculiarly
distinguished them as members of
f society. It might possibly be interesting
to know that they number about
140,000 adherents.
There are now two sects or divisions
of Friends?one the orthodox who are
all the word implies, and the other the
"liberals," who, while still retaining
much that is considered orthordox,
especially in dress and other minor
matters, yet tend to a more liberal
system of theoloy, holding a creed
H somewhat analogous to tnc unitarian
Jm Church.
Their "meeting house?," never called
churches, are marvels of architectural
simplicity?there being an utter lack
of anything like an attempt at adornment?plain,
rectangular, brick strnctures
reminding one of the old rime
H meeting houses of the country genHs
H Marriage o inside of "meeting" is
nitt nrllutflitT.
yue oi uiu i ,
HE but'tis s?i<l thata Friend sometimes
H| oversteps .he conventionalities of
Br tits matrimonial ventures.
One of the most striking virtues of
the Quaker is, I suppose, his honesty,
which is proverbial, thongh he is none
W the less proverbially j>nrcwu, ami it is
Iff said that he geneially gets things for
Kg what they are worth--never over it.
Anil to those two traits mnst be acSL
counted his splendid business capacities,
for whatever he may lack iu advanced
social ideas the Quaker lacks
"" I""" !? o r?rrurr#?ssivfi financial
Iiuililllj 1.. - l" "jy
I spirit. It was somewhat of a surprise
| to ine to find that seme of the most
y reliable and largest business houses in
this city were owned and controlled
by Quaker .and in almost every reputable
phase of business life they have
their representatives.
There are also a number of charitable
and educational institutions here which
have been endorsed and supported by
them, and an immense amount of good
work thus done for the city at large. *
They intermeddle but little in politics,
bat there is no question as to the
fact that ihey have been a strong conservative
element in shaping the social
and political life of the city, and have
had a great influence in miking Philadelphia
of a'l Northern cities the most
distinctively American in its life.
The Russian exile system with its
attendant horrors has stirred up iu
many of these cities considerable feeling,
due principally to the letters and
lectures of Geo. Kennan, who has devoted
so much lime and study to the
workings and effects of the system,
and it has resulted in the formation
of anti-Siberian Exile Association?,
wtiose object is to endeavor to
get the Czar to lend his authority and
influence towards a correction "of its
evils. Thev write out a memorial

evils of the system and its antagonism

aud petition him in the interest of
humanity to abolish it or correct some
of its many evils. With what success
they may attain remains to be seen.
Apropos of Russian affairs, there is

It seems that during the '

THE IDOL SHATTERED.
A Farmers Movement, for Farmers, of

Tillman Movement, for Tillman, ofTill- I
man and by Tillman.
(From the Greenville Seicx )
(Confession ami penitence promote
tranquility of mind, and therefore we ;
desire to own up frankly and Ireely on 1
the Tillman question.
We hoped against hope until the last i
minute that our first opinion ofOaptain j
Tillman was right. \Ve thought him a j
somewhat extreme and violent man, j
but believed that he was entirely conscientious
and was induced to make
rash statements and take positions he
could not hold by honest zeal for the
good of his State and the righting of

ginning of his career that, lie was a
candidate lor no office but trustee of
an agricultural college and desired 110
other we swallowed it whole aud believed
it implicitly. We have resented
and repelled the charges of opposition
ni>roer\?n?re that Tillmnn wsj wrirkincr
chiefly for Tillman's advancement.
We believed that we had at last found
a patriot who was giving his time,
breath and labor for pure love of his
State and his class.
The dream is over; the idol is shattered.
Captain Tillman stands forth as |
rs of I VIA f\f .
a vaiiuiua.c .u. (
the movement lie has done so much
daring the last five years to give shape '
to. The Farmers' Movement, for the |
farmers:, of the farmers and by the
farmery, has been twisted into a Tillman
movement for Tillman, of Tillman
and hv Tillman. What we thought
was patriotism we And to bo politics.!
Wo non nnlv oct t ho f'nlnmhift lfpmsfrr
and other esteemed contemporaries
who have all along treated Captain
Tillman as a candidate in training for
a race for the Governorship to pass
along our dish of^ crow as gently as
possible in the circumstances and will
then untie witn a vast number of honest
and confiding people in the doleful
chorus, "sold again."
We are sorry to lose the disinterested
and sturdy patriot in whom we hare
believed all these years, but we are not
sorry for our part in it. We would
rather think too well of ninety-nine
men than to fail to srive one credit that
he deserves. We prefer to err on the
side of charity and confidence in human
nature. We are glad that to the very
last we demanded fair play for Captain
Tiliman and that he should not be
judged in advance of his acts. Now
that he ha? by his own 'act confirmed
the charges his enemies have made
against him the responsibility is on
him.
Nor do we charge him with any
crime. If he wanted to be Governor,
he had the right to work for that end
and tn tpcnrc nil fhft hnf.kinor he flOtlld.
It is now for the Democrats of the State
to say whether they approve his methods
and his candidacy. He has put
himself beore them for judgment.
The outlook for him is not very good.
He has resigned his claim to be a disinterested
patriot working tolely for
the good of his fellow farmers and he
has cot established a stauding as a
brilliant or successful politician. He
was practically beaten in his own
game witn an me carus in rns nanu.
" -i.ilv" 01 uicsiiu w? cauc\i
by Captain Shell, who is Captain Tillman's
warm friend and devoted advocate.
It was called as a convention of
all whe were in sympathy with the
Farmer's Movement to make nominations.
These farmers and those who
were in sympathy with them met at
their County seats and by their actions
proved that they opposed the making
of nominations.
The first vote on the question in the
convention was a defeat for the nomination
plau. There was a majority of
one against nominations, inclndinsr the
vote of Mr. Farley, of Laurens, as a
part of the Spartanburg delegation,
which was withdrawn when a protest
was made against it. Excluding that
vote, the motion for nominations was
defeated bv a. maioritv of two.
Among the votes for nominations
were those of the four delegates from
PickenB, who were elected by a farmers'
mass meeting which adopted resolutions
against nominations. The four
men who"went to Columbia voted for
nominations, but their votes did not
rub out the fact that the farmers ot
their County opposed such action.
To make the majority of one there
was also included nine votes from the
city of Charleston. Those rotes were
cast by delegates elected two nights
before the convention by a meeting
called at a day's notice.
How the farmers of Spartanburg
County feel cannot be known because
all who opposed nominations were
rnled ont of the County meeting by
Senator It. M. Smith, a ruling which
was reveised by the convention when
it admitted the Barnwell and Smnter
delegations instructed against nominations.
Any fair-minded man considering
these' facts must conclude that the
farmers and their sympathizers vit^
tuallv declared against nominations in
March. I
It the convention had been the regular
Democratic State Convention and
the result had been secured by the
votes of delegates in opposition to the
expressed wishes of those who sent
them and of other delegates hastily
chosen in Charleston at short notice

kick from one end of the State to the
other. If when the farmers come to.
consider the matter and investigate the
facts they do not kick energetically
against the action of this convention
and the attempt to commit them with
or without their consent to Captain
Tillmairs candidacy we will be much
surprised.
Captaiu Tillmau, as be declared
himself, carried the platform to Columbia
in his pocket. It is a very fair
platform?much more moderate and
conservative in its tone than many of
the preceding utterances from Captain
Vitlmon onrj Ponlaill Shpll Tfpnplv
jverybody can endorse it, and, for that
matter, there is no special objection to
;ho gentlemen nominated on it, so far
is they are personally concerned. The
sveakness of ihe ticket is in the mode
ind manner of its nomination and the
net hods used in promoting it.
"WHAT THE STUDENTS SAY.
Whereas it lias been brought to the j
notice of the students ot me ^ouin
Caroliua University that certain damaging
statements have been circulated "
in regard to the actions of some of the
students on the night of the 27 instant,,..'
therefore, be it.
Resolved., That the following statements
are false: (a) that a body
of students followed Captain Tillmaii j
to his hotel; (b) lhat they sang "vile"
A ,1 fU/v
songs; (c) that tnev inreateiieu - lu
do personal violence to his person."
That immediately after the convention
adjourned a number of students
were in a crowd together, with delegates
and others, and indulged in a
demonstration more boisterous than
politic; that the students intended no
disrespect whatever to the convention.
That the account published in the
Ao /i'>i ri f1nuri.fr of March 29th is I
complete and true in eveiy detail.
That these resolutions be published
in the leading papers of the State.
