WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12. The Sumter Watch-man was founded ID 1850 and the True Southron in 1866. The Watchman and Southron now has the combined circulation and influence of both of the old papers, and is mani? festly the best ad vert?ais g medium in Sumter. ??TWO-EYBD JUSTICE." The spirit of the communication signed as above is absolutely irreproach? able. lt is surrounded by an aureole of sweet charity, and girdled by an at? mosphere as of gentle benediction. It moves on the high plane of personal at? tachment, and disarms criticism by rea? son of the evident partiality of the writer for his friend who is under dis? cussion. Let it be remarked here that we dis? claim any desire or intention of sneer? ing at the personal disfigurement of Mr. Tillman. Such a misfortune as the loss of an eye is too serious to become the subject of jest, and too sad to be made the butt of a sneer. We only adopted and used a pet name for Mr. Tillman, which we frequently heard used by his admirers two years ago. The bit of personal history whereby Mr. Tillman first became famous, is de* cidedly interesting. It shows that the mao bad the consciousness of t missioo to be performed; but his ability, albeit no questioned, is the ability of a mao who bas not the broad view of the statesman, bot the contracted vision of the partisan and the agitator who sees ouly the wrongs, real or imaginary, of his own class in the community. Society, io its broad sense, is a vast and complicated mechanism, the compo? nent parts of which are mutually, aod many of them equally, interdependent. To attempt to make men think other . wise is either not to know the nature of the social organism, or it is to create antagonism aod promote ill-feeling where good will aod harmonious actioo ought to prevail. It is oo this broad principle that wc have ali along con? demned asy and every attempt ai class legislation, and class antagonism. For the benefit of Mr. Tillman and all others who thiok as they think, aod especially of our correspondent who ex? udes Scripture at every stroke of his pen, we beg to reproduce here the o beer- , vations of a certain old writer whose services to humanity entitle bis remarks | to due consideration. Speaking of the unity in diversity of the parts of the , human body, as paralleling and illus? trating the nature of the social and ecclesiastical organism, St. Paul writes as follows, (1 Cor. 12: 20 eto ) -?For } the body is not coe member, but maoy . . . Aod the eye caooot say uoto the , hand, I have no need of thee : nor again . the head to the feet, I have no need of i you. God hath tempered the body to- t gether, that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care one for another. And if one member suffer, all the mern- , bera suffer with it ; or one member be i honored, all the members rejoice with it." Herbert Spencer bas evidently sat at the feet of St. Pani, for io all his work oo Sociology, he has produced nothing as laconic as this, and his whole elabora? tion proceeds upon the Pauline founda- , tion, as here laid down. Wheo our correspondent and his bril- ' liant leader shall have demolished Spen? cer and refuted St. Paul, we will set about making the necessary alterations ' .io our conception of the social organism to accommodate it to the revised version of sociology. Meanwhile we will con- * tinue to hold by the views of these * rather intelligent writers aod thiokers. ( Aod now, having put ourselves right oo the record, we proceed briefly to re? view the communication itself, it is a most ingenious defence, but not an un? familiar one. It is the old ruse of abus- [ in g the plaintiffs attorney, when the ' defendant's case is weak. It diverts, ' or seeks to divert, consciously or uncon? sciously, the attention of the reader J from the rea! points io issue. "Two-eyed Justice" makes two poiots: ( 1st. That Mr. TilSmao cor Mr. Shell j ever made charges of corruptioo against j aoy member of our State Government. \ Our reply is, we deoy that we made !* any such allegation ; the article speaks for itself. We furnish the id<*as, intelii- j I i gently expressed, but we are unable io j ^ furnish the capacity and the attention j. necessary to comprehend them. We commeod to our correspondent a closer ? ^ perusal of our article He will then |. I i discover that be has set up a mao of j straw by making os say what we did j not, aod tb?t he bas completed his ?Hog | ical performaoce by issuing to us a chal? lenge to prove something we never said. If he will chai' nge us to prove what we did say, we will accept his gage. 2. He seeks to throw duet into the public eye aud divert attention from j Tillman as the exponent and represe*- ^ tative of a movement, to Tiiiman asa , man and a citizen. j With bim as an individual we have , ( no dispute. He may be and doubtless j ?8 the paragoo his friend makes him out. | On this point we affirm nothing ?nJ!( deny nothing. With Tillmanism, as it j bas beeo termed, we are concerned, and j are not to be turned from oor purpose j by any amount of "aneieot history" or *'Sunday reading,** as the facts con- I nected wirb Til'.i au's personal history I may be designated. As to Tit?mantsm f and Sbellism we have expressed our '? ] opinions. Our correspondent is entitled 1 also to hts. We do not conceive it to 11 bc our SJ?S?OU to set the world right, a* ! < Hamlet did, and therefore are always wiiliog to let others have and express their opinions,even when they differ from oar's. Io this way we live aod leam. We commend the same course toothers lt works well; it prevents monotony, mediocrity and barefaced assumption from coming too conspicuously to the front, and gives mankind an opportu? nity to enlarge the boundaries of their information and develop into lovers of their country and their kind, instead of dwarfing them to the dimensions of a partisan, and confining their ideas to a range wholly local and limited. SHELL'S MANIFESTO. Shell-or Tillman in miniature-is stricken in the house of his friends. The Cotton Plant, published at Green? ville, under the shadow of the Green? ville News, condemns the Shell scheme for March nominations That paper is the recognised organ of the Farmers* Alliance. The Alliance, says the Cot? ton Plant, bas superseded the Farmers' Association. It simply eliminates Ben Tillman-flings bim off as Sinbad threw off from his back the old man of the sea. But the wily old agitator is too shrewd to become a sacrificial offering. He now stands behind Shell and makes gestures from under the latter's arms and practices a ventriloquism that is wonderful in its powers of deception. Like Banquo's ghost4 *he will not down" at any man's bidding, he merely steps aside, but keeps one eye 4'to wind? ward." The Cotton Plant thicks the precip? itancy of Mr. Shell might alienate many strong and influential friends of the Farmers' Association who have, in the past, fought so valiantly for the princi? ples urged by that organization. Another objection advaoced by the same paper is that the Association is disorganised, and superseded by the Alliance-implying that Shell had no authority to make the call or issue his manifesto. The whole thing smacks of old time politics. On sales day a mass meeting of citizens, without credentials as dele? gates to any convention, at the bidding , of a man who has no authority over I them and no official position in any or? ganization to which they are supposed to belong, shall send men over to Co? lumbia to nominate a ticket represent- i ing nothing, to be crammed down the j throat of the democracy of the State. ! Who or what does Shell represent? The Farmers Association ? It is disor? ganized or superseded by che Alliance. The Democratic party or a faction of it? The party has no factions Does be represent anybody or anything ex- J sept an ultra and radical opposition to 1 sill existing institutions ? There may < be abuses that ought to be corrected, , but they will have first to be pointed out f [f our party is to be disintegrated by 1 Shell's manifesto and loud-mouthed ? indiscriminate abuse of everything-by . the cry of wolf before the wolf appears. c then is our plight greatly worse than 1 c sven Mr. Shell pretends it is. 1 A man who is nothing, representing c nothing, jealously clinging to the hoi low title once bestowed by an organiza-1 " don now defanct or at the best mori- i bund, issues his call, forsooth, for a J convention to be made up of delegates 1 to be chosen by mass meetings, without * any basis of representation-without s iny subordinate organizations-but just H ?imply to be made up 4'promiscuous ^ like." Yet he talks about oligarchies, f rings and what not. r Mr. Shell attempts to put io force " the very practice he condemns by the 1 proposed modus operandi. He would t rum the cause of the farmers bv bis ar- 8 J t bitrary methods. Mass meetings repre? senting no organization, composed of * anybody who might see fit to attend, \ ?lect aod accredit delegations to a con- 0 fen ?on representing no party and no e organization, hence unallied with De- * aiocracy. Alliance or Farmers' Associa i t :ioo, meet in Columbia at tbe behest of! 1 >ne man and put forward a slate which ; s t is proposed to make the Democratic j' jarty of the State swallow. The < leglutition would split the party to \ >ieces Such a convention would be ! f ike Mr. Lincoln's mule-without pride i g )f ancestry or hope of posterity. j v Since the above was put in type. Mr. shell has re-stated his case, or tersely 'summed it up" in a letter to the News j c md Courier. Some of the grievances jet forth by Mr. Shell are substantial ind call for reformation. Jb?f-o??cially is ! f F here rooai f?>r improvement in our K ? r ti laws, the management of the peu- j " tentiary, and the apportionment of [l? presen fat i ves and Senators in the General Assembly. We are heartily n sympathy with bim in these matters, ind think it well that conventions and j [ mass meeting? should b*i held and what ?ver cause ot grievance the people nave 1 s iiscussed lt would be weil, too. for :he farmers to meet in general conven- * ;ion at Columbia and endeavor to se- j < jure the benefits and remedy the evils i !j illuded to in the call. j v We do not wish to be understood as j ( )npo?ed to the fariner?.' convention. : We are not. We pimply oppose tho j ( proposed nominations by that conven- j ion in advance of the regular party ? vomioations. ! 1 I Such action would ;>e ruinous to tho ?au?e of the farmers as well as to the * partv to which th?? farmers belong, : would antagonize those who are n<>w in ? r sympathy with the farmers and make . ?nemies where they now hav>? friends. 1 t The Washington I* >st is showing it- : i ?elf a redoubtable champion of the I National Capital as the proper place for molding the Three Americas' Exposition, a X has lately issued a spleodid supple- ? * peut containing large pictures of the i great buildings at the Capital and the comments of prominent newspapers and eminent men endorsing the views of the Post. We wish the completest success to our distinguished contemporary. Washington ought to be the elect city. A WORD FOR TILLMAN. WEDGEFIELD, Feb. le th, 1890. Mr. Editor: 1 read your editorial in your last issue oo Mr. Shell's manifesto. The whole editorial was one lang sneer, with a little wit on the name of Mr. Shell. You accused Mr. Shell and bis colleagues of making charges of corruption against our State government like the ' one-eyed Ben." Now, sir, since you challenge him to the ptoof, I deny that either Mr. Shell or Mr. Tillman ever made charges of corruption against any member of our State government, and I challenge you to the proof. Mr. Tillman lost his eye in an attack of fever, when his life hung by a thread ; it was a great affliction to both bim and his family and since it was an affliction sent by God it was unkind, cruelly unkind, in you to thus sneeringly and abu8?Tely call him the "one-eyed Ben." Your uncalled for personal abuse of Mr. Tillman shows that with both eves you can only see one side of this question and of Mr Tillman. Wben Mr. Tillman attended the meeting of the Agricultural Society at Bennetisville he was unknown, and. was the youngest and most unpretentious looking man in that as? semblage. He looked what he was, a common backwoods farmer. He told some of the sleek looking gentlemen that be intended to make H speech and asked them to support him. They pointed him out and told it i round as a good joke, they anxiously waited t ie fun. He 'rose and in a few minutes the funny grio was changed to earnest attention and when his speech was finished, he was among the best known and foremost men of the State, and found hirosHf at the head of a great body of farmers. There is no question about it Mr. Tillman's "voice crying in the wilderness" roused the farmers all over the State to thought and action. Now this shows the stuff that is in the man. He bas been for years the best abused and despised man in the State, he has almost single-handed fought the battle for the rights of the farme.r and friend and foe know him to be an honest, pure and able champion There is no use for you to point out his one flaw by calling bim "the one-eyed Ben." He stands well ai borne, bis people love to honor bim. he was for years the President of the Edgefield democracy, he is now the President of bis County Alliance and he has never asked his people for a political office, though I per? sonally know they have sought bim. I see he is again nominated for Governor. ? hope and believe he will decline, for the world over it is difficult to elect a great re? former to office, and if elected, I believe it would be b 13 and our misfortune, since we could not replace bim in the Seid, though per? sonally. I would like to see him Governor, for we would have a man with a master in? tellect, honest, and.'proud of bis calling, and we would be proud of him. Don't abuse him. He is simply crying out for the rights of the common people, against the politicians and lawmakers, wbo oppress the common people. We know of that greatest, that divine re? former, who went in with the common peo? ple around Jerusalem, against the politicians ind the rulei? aud the cry was, crucify him ! :rucify him I When that other reformer, Martin Luther, was going in to the Diet at Worms to battle ?ingle-handed for the cause of Christ against he kings and princes and nobles of the world, and the high ecclesiastics and bishops jf the Roman hierarchy, that brave German (night, Prince George, placed his hand oo n's shoulder and said to him, what we farm? ers say to the hero, Ben. Tillman, "If thy leart is right, and thy cause is just, go on in sod's uaoteaud He will not forsake thee " TWO-EVED Jc8TfCE. The Monument to Jeff Davis. SCMTER, S. C. Feb. 8, 1S30. Mr. Editor: Ever since Jeff Davis was aid away to his rest, over two months ago, have waited with interest to see what steps vould be inaugurated by the people of ihe ?outb for raising a fund to erect a great nonument to his memory, and I must con ess that I have been mortified at the result, t seems, that, as soon as the first wave of rnef, caused by the recent death of the old :hieftain, bad passed over the land, and the mpulses of gratitude that were awakened in mr homes, as we 6tood aud looked back >ver his past life, with a mind free from ali ?rejudice, and softened by the circumstance if his death, as soon as this is tempered by he lapse of time, it seems that we have ettled down into an apathetic state of mind, ;nd have almost forgotten our duty to our llustrious dead. Mr. Editor, when Jeff )avis was buried away out of our sight, the ast relic of the Old South passed away ; the ast link that bound us to the Old South was trok?n forever. Jeff Di?vis was the embodi uent of those principles for which the South ustained an unequal contest for four years, ind. by her indomitable eonrage and ex? ited heroism, won the plaudits of all nations. ?Ve ?vere forced to suhmit to superior Dum >ers and resources of war, but the principles or which we fought arni which Jrff Davis epresents are as imperishable and enduring LS the everlasting bills, it is true we need io monument to perpetuate the memory of eff Davis and his principles, but we owe it o posterity and to the world at large. I bink, Sir, all that is uecessary for the .ccomplisbment of this end, is for some one o rouse up the people and they will respond. it seems toae that the editors ot the land an do more for this otj'-ct than anyone else, yet them "boom" the monument and shout t up from one end of the country to the ther. Let them open subscription lists, and plan, which seems to me might be more ffeetive than any other, would be to let ?me one in authority, appoint committees o pass around among the peo? J and give hen, ao opportunity to subscribe, and let it ie clearly understood, for the benefit of those rho are constitutionally opposed to all sub cription pHj>ers thai ?bey are not being egged, hut simply the opportunity and invilege of subscribing is given them. If his were done in every city, town, and tarntet, throughout this broad Southland, I lelieve that it would not be long before a und necessary for erecting a great inonu nent would be forthcoming. Your oorre pondeut, as poor a man as he is. would be villing to give five dollars, ?nd if you cun't ;ive ?en dollars, or five, or three, give ono, .r fifty cents, or anything. 1 understand that an entertainment will be ;iven here shortly for the benefit of this it.ject.
