The watchman and southron. (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, June 25, 1890, Image 2

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25.
The Stouter Watchman was founded
ia 1850 and the True Southron in 1866.
Tho Watchman and Southron now has
the combined circulation and influence
of both of the old papers, and is mani
festly the best advertising medium in
Sumter.
LOOK UPON THIS AND THEN
UPON THAT.
We h*7e laid before onr readers in
this issue, the reply made at Green
ville, by Capt. Tillman, to Commis
sioner Butler's demand, the former
having requested all the newspapers
of the State publishing the Commis
sioner's article to give publicity, also,
to his reply.
The omissions are immaterial to a
clear understanding of tbe case. Any
candid mind will readily understand
the shifts and quibbles of Capt. Tillman
ia this arraignment and the complete
sod overwhelming refutation of these
charges, so derogatory to tbe chief of
the Agricultural Department of our
State.
If this defense does not set at rest
the most fastidious questioner, and
cover those with obloquy who attempted
thus to traduce him then we are ready
to exclaim :
"Oh Justice thou art fled."
THE CAMPAIGN.
The week just past has been an inter
esting and exciting one in the great po
litical contest now agitating the State
from mountain to seaboard. A trial by
fire, as it were, and the lines are daily
closing around the arch-political trick
ster, who by the employment of his
talents for producing discord and con
fusion, threatens to throw back our be
loved old commonwealth where, once
before, she travailed in the throes of
dissolution.
The war-horses of the true Democ
racy are close upon Tiilman's heels and
winding him up slowly and steadily
with telling efleet, all through the up
country. General Bratton, in bis calm
and masterly manner, is sounding the
warning notes of alarm, that we can
have no lawyer or doctor democracy or 11
any other, but one of the entire people,
and reminds us that the Government of 1
the United States stands readj, still, to 1
farther concentrate its power over us. j
But perhaps the clearest bugle-blast of (
the campaign, thus far, was Gen.
Earle's very able effort at Union C. H. a
Capt. Tillman evidently felt as though f
his hour had come, when dodging the
question and swinging aronnd corners
would avail him nought.
In the light of quiet and intelligent
consideration it is passing strange, that E
so large and respectable a following o
should lend credence and their counte- I
nance to such flimsy charges ; more es
pecially, when the eloquent pleadings
of Gen. Earle, oft repeated, have sig
nally failed to wring from Capt. Till- t
man and his party a word or a line of (
proof. But this darkness is giving ri
place to the light of the morning. Fol
lowing close in the wake of these fear
less expositions on the part of our faith*
fui champions is a steadily rising tide
of inquiry and active organization that ^
muse and wilt sweep all before it on 0
election day.
A eaase that will not stand the press- I j
are of investigation does not deserve
the support of any people. Gens.
Earle and Bratton have bad to endure I ?
many annoyances, while it would appear
that with tbe boasted strength of the
opposition, it ought to have power
enough to insure them a respectful
hearing. Taese discussions are healthful
educators of the people and should
by oo means be fettered.
THE SHELL SECRET CIRCU
LAR.

The following is a copy of this re-1l,
markable campaign document:
Lauekms, S. C, Jane 4, 1890.
"Dbar Sir: The defeat of Kolb for L
Governor of Alabama by a combination of c
political tricksters should teach the frieods of
Captain Tillman that 'eternal vigilance is
tbe price of liberty." As they value their
lives, liberty, homes and repytation, so should
they be ready to guard against tbe insidious
devices of 'be r opponents.
"fiverr township and neighborhood to tbe
State.should be thoroughly organized into
Democratic c ubs. The officers should be
truly loyal to the platform of principles
enunciated by tbe March Convention.
"Tbe battle cry of "anybody to beat Till
man" must be kept constantly in view, and
every voter must be at his post first, last and
all the time lo controvert this hoped-for
result and none must be permitted to pass
unless they are properly vouched for.
**Very respectfully,
''G. W. i**hkll, Chairman.''
Capt. Shell says tbe letter was ob
tained from his office surreptitiously.
Suppose it was ; tbe deeper damnatiou
lies at tbe door of the man who penned
an epistle so false, so monstrous in its
insinuations, so inconceivably bitter in
its tone against men who are honorable,
true, devoid of trickery, and loyal to
the State and the Democratic party.
Were Shell and Tillman fighting the
Republican party of 1868 76, such
language might be pardoned, but it is
simply monstrous when it comes from
tbe pen of a so-called Democrat, and
is directed against Democrats. Is this
what Tillman ism means? Charges of
favoritism, nepotism, perjery, political
leprosy, n ade by Democrats against*
brother Democrats. Friend arrayed
against friend, and brother against
brother, and now an appeal by the
Chairman of tbe Tillman party to his
henchmen *'as they value life, liberty,
borne and reputation'' to guard against
tbe ''insidious devices" of their
brethren who are opposed to Tillman.
Their leader spoke of some of his sup
porters at Kidgeway as "jackasses ?
he is alleged to have spoken of his
Anderson supporters as '*-fool8.,,
We felt sore that ia so speaking of
them, he was slandering the farmers
of South Carolina. If they shall
blindly follow him and Shell any longer,
after such a declaration as this, we
will be obliged to think he is not guilty
of slander.
A GREAT DAY FOB EART.E.
In company with about 250 others from
this city and coun ty a reporter for tbe W. and
S. attended the campaign meeting at Golem?
bia yesterday. Col. Earle went over on the
same train, arriving on tbe Fair grounds
where tbe speaking took place in time to bear
the conclusion of Senator Hampton's speech
Col. Earle'8 arrival upon the scene threw tbe
immense crowd into tbe wildest and most
enthusiastic excitement. Col. ?. C. Haskell
rushed from tbe stand, grasped Earle's band
and waving bis bat in tbe air, led him io a
semi-circle half around tbe crowd amid tbe
wild shouts of tbe multitude, a sea of waving
bats aud hankerchiefs, and tbe loud rattle of
drams. It was a glorious and inspiring
scene. Hampton was for a moment forgotten
and every heart and voice turned to pay their
homage to tbe man whom this ovation clearly
showed to be tbe bero of the day. Old
veterans of 76 wept and hurrahed as tiey
bave never done since tbe days when tbe
intrepid Hampton and the chivalrous Haskell
led them.
After the conclusion of Hampton's speech
which we did not hear. Genl. Bratton was
introduced and received with flattering de
monstrations. His speech was delivered in a
calm, dispassionate bnt exceedingly earnest
manner, and impressed every thoughtful man
that tbe noble old gentleman is striving more
to avert disaster from the party and State
than to elect John Bratton Governor.
Bratton was followed by Capt. Tillman.
Tbe crowd bad been disorderly throughout
tbe day?the enthusiastic anti-Tillmau men
applauding on the slightest pretext and the
Tillmanites, ia a little band to themselves,
jeering tbe speakers and shouting for their
champion, ont it was not until Capt. Tillman
began to speak that these disorders became
nocontrolable and annoying. We walked
about the crowd carefully noting tbe sources
from wbicb tbe clamor and disorders arose
and found that io almost every instance they
came either from boys or drunken men from
the country, provoking answering jeers and
angry demonstrations from the little knot of
Tillmanites. The large majority of the as
sembly were orderly and attentive.
We cao not pretend to convey aoy adequate
idea of tbe bitter, denunciatory and even in
cendiary character of Capt. Tiliman's speech.
He spared no one. Hampton, Haskell, Goth
ran and many others whom our people have
heretofore delighted to honor came io for
their share of abase.
Col. Earle was not down on tbe program
for a speech?bis place having been given to
Hampton?bat the audience would not let
him off. Id response to repeated and clam*
oroos calls he came to tbe front of tbe stand,
bat was pulled off by tbe crowd and forced
into an open buggy standing about fifty
steps in front of the stand. From that hastily
improvised stand be made the speech of the
jay, punctuated time and again with wild
jhouts of approval from tbe immense throng
whose close attention he held to the fin'.sh.
It is generally conceded in Columbia that
.he day belongs to Earle.

PURELY MUTUAL.
INCORPORATED 1847.
THE FENN MUTUAL
Life Insurance Company of Philadelphia.
ASSETS, $15,174,078. January 1st, 1890. SURPLUS, $2,626,198.
THE COMING INVESTMENT.
The matter of investment in life insurance is now attracting
the South, as it has already absorbed the Northern savings.
The matter for providing for one's family an immediate estate
and accumulating a fund which will be available to one's self in
cash when the working years of one's life have passed, is now
recognized as a public blessing to all, and has proven a more
profitable investment than government or State bonds or savings
banks, especially as the leading insurance policy embodies all
the elements of a savings institution.
Policies issued by the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company,
of Philadelphia, have printed upon the second page a table
showing the cash values of the policies every year, so thv .he
policy is always available. It was the first company in the
world which went before the Legislature and petitioned for the
non-forfeiture law of policies, which law has saved so many mil
lion dollars to helpless widows and orphans. It issues every
plan of insurance, from the term "insurance," that costs a man
30 years old $12 per ?1,000 up to the 6 per cent, guaranteed
and annuity bonds. Terms and results of policies of any de
scription may be had on application.
FEATURES OF PENN MUTUAL.
They are Incontestable.
After two years from issue of policy there are no conditions, limitations or res
trictions. The insured may travel or reside where he likes ; he may engage io
any avocation, no matter bow hazardous ; be may die from any cause or under
any circumstances; the only requirement is the payment of premium as stipu
lated in the policy.
They are Non-Forfeitable.
Every dollar paid the Company secures the member full value, in an equi
table form, after three payments (io most cases after two).
The Company's plans for ' Extension" and "Paid-up" provide against loss to
members who discontinue their policies.
Cash Surrender.
Many forms of policies permit a member to withdraw at any period of five
years, others at the end of longer periods, as selected, taking with him in cash,
the full reserve-value of his policy, inclusive of all surplus accumulation.
Cash Loans.
Certain policies contain the agreement to lend the member upon their security
3ixty-six per cent, (being not less than $100 ) of the reserve value ; thus
guarding against their lapse, and enhancing their value as Marketable Collateral.
There is nothing which is safe and desirable in life iosurance, no new and
commendable feature, that is omitted from the revised forms and plans of this
well-tried and enduring institution.
Are you insured by an incontestible, non-forfeitable policy, with liberal feat
ires such as the Penn Mutual issues? Is your estate secured, is your family
safe were you to die ? Are vour own later years provided for against want and
;are ? If not, get our plans?any form is open to you, and invest a few dollars
with us annually, semi-annually or quarterly, and you may safely enjoy the
balance of your income. For information apply to,
