WADDY THOMPSON. Editor. Tharsday, March 8,1894. disappeared the memory of the heroic Confederate soldier will be kept green in the hearts of all true sons of the South. THE FUN HAS BEGUN. Governor Tillman in his last interview endorses the “Colle ton plan”. This is virtually a back down on the part of the Governor. A month or so ago he sided with the Irby faction by announcing in unequivocal terms his opposition to an early convention, at the sam£ time giving a number of reasons for his position. Now he has flop ped over to the other side and tries to cover his fickleness by calling the Colleton plan by the attractive but deceptive term of compromise. As he did when he announced his opposition to to an early convention, he gives a number of reasons for his new position. The Colleton plan calls for an early convention and all of the Governor’s plausible excuses cannot acquit him of the charge of having made a change of base. Just as we predicted be has gone over to the stronger side. The Alliance people prov ed to be in the majority and the Governor went with them. It was not with much-ado eithei that he deserted the Irbyities. He was shown on which side his bread was buttered and he tumbled as easy as falling from a log. We have also predicted that as soon as Governor Tillman discovered which is the strong er faction he would pull the GENERAL NEWS. Item* of Interest From All Over The World. Calvin Carter, a negro of bad character, killed two white men at Screven, Ga., on Friday. Gen. Jubal A. Early, the fa mous Confederate General, died in Lynchburg, Va., on Friday. During a frolic near Asheville.. N. C., on Sunday night of last week, George Hensley killed Riley Shelton. Thomas Douglas, a thirteen- year-old boy. was lynched at Sherman, Ala., last week for killing a deputy sheriff. Will Dunn, has been arrested at Tampa, Fla., for murdering his wife by pouring oil over her and burning her to death. In a riot among several hun dred laborers on a Mexican ranch on Friday three persons were killed and fifteen wounded. weaker side over with him. If the course of politics be closely watched it will be found that this prediction will be verified. The Conservatives should not count too much upon a split in the “reform” ranks, for the dictator’s lash still wields its power in that faction. There will be lots of fun, how ever, during the campaign. It began on Monday at the meet ing at Abbeville, when the candidacy of John Gary Evans was given a boom. Sampson Pope and W. H. Timmerman were also present and made speeches, but the meeting was clearly gotten up* for Evans. The other supposed candidates for Governor gave various ex cuses for not attending the meeting. W. D. Evans pleaded other engagements and W. H. Ellerbe was detained in Colum bia on account of official duties. The letters of regret received from Governor Tillman and J. E. Tindal are models for their mystery and have put the poli ticians to speculating as to their significance. The Governor wrote that he is not a candidate for a third term, but so expressed himself that he need not refuse the nomination if offered to him. Tindal would not say whether he was a candidate or not and urged that conservatism prevail in this campaign as both sides are tending too much towards bitterness. < He enters a warn ing also against the terrible ‘‘ring rule” taking control of the “reform” party. Politicans are anxiously asking, where do Tillman and Tindal stand? Gladstone, the great states man and premier of England, has resigned his office on ac count of his advanced age. Lord Rosebery succeeds him. Louise Kellogg, a famous ac tress, was killed in Pittsburg, on Wednesday of last week, by her sweetheart, named McNabb, who then killed himself. John Jenkins, a colored S reacher, in jail at Groveton, fa., for wife-beating, burned himself to death last week in an attempt to burn his way out. The revolutionists of Brazil capiured the town of Lappa last week. The fight was furious and the town was almost de stroyed before the garrison was overpowered. Anderson Carter and Bud Montgomery were lynched last week in the jail at Mountain Home, Ala. They were charged with having committed an at- trocious murder. The dead bodies of two Amer icans were found a few days since in the mountains in Mexi co where they had gone hunt ing. They were partly devour ed by wild beasts. James Hickman was cutting down a tree at Glascow, Ala., on Wednesday of last week, when it fell on his two daugh ters, killing them both. Hick man has since gone crazy from grief. The people in Starr county, Texas, are starving. Their con dition cannot be described. Many ranches have been desert ed and a number of deaths have occurred. Cattle and other live stock have died by the thous ands. Hon. 8. A. Jackson, a promi nent Democratic politician of Mississippi, was killed at Koski- osko, in that State, on Saturday, by Rev. W. P. Ratcliffe, a Pop ulist. In the encounter the parson also wounded two other men. Jas. J. Corbett, the champion pugilist, was tried at Jackson ville; Fla., for his recent prize fight and was acquitted on Thursday. The cases against Mitchell hnd others connected with the fight were then nol pressed. Miners at Eagle, W. Va., are giving trouble. Last week they attacked employee^ at one of the mines and one man was killed and nine wounded. The Governor has declared martial law at the scene of the trouble and has called out troops to pre serve the peace. THE COUNTY NEWS. FROM ALL SECTIONS AS TOLD BY OUR CORRESPONDENTS.

GEN. JUBAL A. EARLY. The death of Gen. Jubal A. Early removes to another world a leading spirit of the immortal army of the Confederacy. Years have passed since the great struggle and the ranks of the survivors of those who wore the grey are rapidly decreasing. One by one the old soldiers are surrendering to death, which they so often boldly faced upon the battlefield. Of these brave men not one was braver than “old Jube Early,” as he was af fectionately known by his sol diers. Although generally unsuc cessful in battle he was abso lutely fearless, and his very bravery gave him a strong hold upon the Southern people who will ever pseserve his name with reverence. His death breaks another link of the chain , binds us to the past, that chain has entirely A very improbable story comes from North Carolina. It is said that in Green county, in that State, lives a seven-year- old boy, named Lassiter, who has the word “America” writ ten legibly in the pupil of each eye. This wonderful phenome non is a birth-mark.

CYPRESS. In the drawing of the present jury Cypress is again not slight ed. Messrs Smith and Houston were here last week with a lot of fine mules and horses. Our farmers are hauling guano in dead earnest and it looks as if they can’t get enough. The early oats look a little scorched by the recent snow, but no severe damage has been done. On account of high water in Lynche’s River not many fish have been caught lately in the seins. A correspondent asked in the last issue of The News for Mr. J. H. Kelly’s address. It is Lollie, Ga. Some of our early birds speak of planting corn this week. They had better save their seed a little longer. We hear very little about politics. Everybody seems just now to be more interested in making a living. We think it would be well to establish a bone yard at this place, so that the large crowds that gather here on Saturday afternoons may amuse them selves by swapping horses. PHILADELPHIA. We are glad to report our sick on the mend. Mr. P. A. Truett has been made postmaster at this place. There has been some inquiry as to who this correspondent is I wonder if they want to lynch him. Some of our smartest farmers have been talking of planting corn. Had they not better wait until the winter is over? Dr. J. M.

When we notice the unusual amount of building, fencing and We think it passing strange that our women are being in truded upon by Tillman’s con stables. The way to think about these outrages is to bring them home to ourselves and im agine either our mothers, wives or daughters in the position of these women who have been mistreated. We would then see the wrong in its true light. CLYDE. Some of us are going to plant corn next week. Mr. D. D. Johnson has been uite unwell for the last few ays. Mr. J. P.
