WHAT IT SIGNIFIES.

1t must be CALLING to the democratic
editors who have been seeking to
create a feeling against Governor
Allen because of his alleged misrep-
re%sentation of the conditions as they
actually exist in the island, to read
the accounts cabled from San Juan
of the reception rendered him by
the Porto Ricans upon his return from
this country, last Thursday. Were
he personally as unpopular as the
Observation-Disclosures have endeaw
ored to make it appear, or were the
administration of which he is the
agent and representative so univer-
sally condemned ana disliked as
those same gentlemen would have
their readers believe, no such dem
onstration as was witnessed at San
Juan would have occurred or been
possible. The joy manifested by the
islanders upon his return and the
enthusiasm shown in welcoming him
home must be taken as meaning
something other than a manifesto
ton of disapproval of the govern
ment's policy in reference to the
island and a show of dislike to the
governor. The only reasonable in
depreciation that can be placed upon
it is that the Porto Ricans are be-
coming satisfied that the United
States is acting with due regard for
their best interests in everything it
has undertaken in the island and
that conditions are improved since
American domination displaced Span
ish rule. A people so wholly dis
contented and dissatisfied as the dem
ocratic press would have it appear the
Porto Ricans r would not unite in
such a demonstration as that which
took place at San Juan a few days
ago in honor of the return of the
man who is their governor and the
embodiment of the power that is over
them.
But testimony is not wanting, and
testimony furnished by natives at
that, that conditions in the island
are improving and that the claims
OF suffering and disagreement are
wholly the creations of prejudiced
and untruthful persons. The only ma
tives who are still manifesting hos
tility to the United States are the
federalists, who pose as the aristoc-
racy of the island and whose sole
cause of enmity is their hatred of
the government because it has under
taken to disseminate knowledge
among the people and in ~furtherance
of that purpose has established
schools where the children of the com
mon people may attend. These self
styled aristocrats do not want the
common people to be elevated intel
l~ectually above the plane which they
have occupied, but want them kept in
ignorance and darkness SO that the
management of the affairs of the
island may be retained within the mar.
row limits of a select few and con-
tinue them in power and supremacy.
Like all aristocrats they oppose edu-
cation of the masses, realizing that
with increased knowledge comes in
creased power and in proportion as
that power of the common people
grows their own lessons and the ad.
vantages and benefits they once en-.
joyed gradually vanish until it be.
comes, as it should be, net a matter
of birth and social position, but a
question Of intellectual and moral
worth, a battle where manhood and in
tanning success.

REVOLT AGAINST TAMMANY.

The fight now on between the two
factions into which the democratic
party of New York City has been split
is IN interesting spectacle to the rest
of the country. Headed by a few
men of the party who claim to be
better than the Tammanyites and who
say they are tired of the existing con-
dition of affairs, the reform element
has issued the fiat that Tammany
must go and that the political and
social atmosphere of Gotham shall
be cleared. The new democracy. as
it may be proper to designate the
reformers, appeals to all members of
the party who are not in sympathy
with the gang to render their as
sistance and help weed out the ele-
ment which now d%isgraces the city
by it's corrupt and venal rule.
The task undertaken by the men
who would give the city a better and
cleaner government is one that COM
mends itself to all good people, re-
CARELESS of political affiliations, and
the wish that they may succeed is
universal. But it seems that they
have cut out for themselves more
work than they can do. History tells
us so, for this is not the first time
that the democrats of the city have
split on lines the same as those that
mani tho procnr% o1oouoro Eco1h
time that a revolt has occurred the
revolutionists have made the same
patriotic appeal issued now, and each
time the same confidence of success
which marks the present effort has
been expressed, but invariably when
the fight was over it was found that
Tammany, possibly a little disfigured,
was still on top and all who desired
political recognition were esrced to
bow tt it and acknov'edt tsov-
ereignty. &
In making their app. LADDERS

they have formulated | nounce
that the new party "sta-5 )r the
protection of the democra4 nasses,'
thereby ignoring the existence of the
republican masses, of whom there
are some in the city. Prudence would
naturally have suggested, if the re
formers are in real earnest, a pledge
of protection to all persons or masses
regardless of the fact whether they
are democrats, populists or republic
cans. Upon such a pledge it would
be much easier to obtain the support
asked and thus afford greater assur
ance of ultimate ucces Confined
to democrats opposed to Tammany
the attempt now making to dislodge
the Crokers and other leading lights
of Tammany hall will result in the
same failure that has attended pas
efforts in the same direction. It is

success may be expected. Unit

Campaign of Education.

The Spartanburs Herald has moi
been partial to McLaurin. 1t ha.
freely criticised him, and, a
times, harshlv condemned him,
but it does justice to his magnifi
cent Fourth of July grafton il
Spartanburg. Of thatspesch IT
says:
"Hs touched upon all of the
vital issues that are now befor.
the country, expansion, ship sub
sidy and other issues that have
grown up in recent years. Sena-
tor McLaurin showed a thorough
familiarity with the subjects dis
cussed, and his address was en-
tsrtsining throughout. Tho large
audience listened for two hours
with rapt attention, giving gen
oral applause at times. He made
a splendid impression.
"Whils the Herald does not
agree with everything the ssna.
tor said, we realize that his argu.
nents we're logical an that great
deal can be said ON his side of the
question. His defense of the ship
subsidy bill was particularly clear
and convincing"
That last sentence is especially
just. There is more doubt upon
the subsidy question than upon
any other of the doctrines advo-
Gated by McLaurin, because there
is less Information upon that sub
jsct. But when McLaurin speaks
as he did at Spartanburg, and re-
ceives the attention he was given
there, he makes converts, because
of the strength Of his arguments.
He is conducting a campaign of
education, devoid of personalities
and abuse, and it is having much
effect. t.-Colum bia Record.

Congressman Stokes
Dies in Orangeburs
DR.. Stokes Had Made Many
Friends by Faithful Work
While in Washington.
Special to The State.


Orangeburg, July 6.-The
death of Congressman j. William
Stokes, which occurred ut his
home near this city this morning
ut 3 O'Clock, was great shock to
the whole community, though not
! unexpected; for it was known
several days ago that little IF any
hope was entertained of his final
recovery. He had been in de-
clining health for months, yet his
desire to serve his constituency
caused him to forget self and con
tinue at his official work until
short time since when he was
forced by weakness to give up all
of his labors. His private secre-
tary was brought here, however,
and attended to all matters Of
pressing Importance.
In the death of DR.. Stokes the
State and county have lost good
citizen. He was enterprising and
pushing, and in church and mat
ters of State, he had drawn to
himself thousands of faithful
friends who will sorrow at his un,
timely taking off. He was un-
ostentatious and faithful to every
duty; and while it may be said
with truth that ut one time in his
political career he had many op-
ponents of his advancement i'm this
his native county, it can be as
truthfully asserted now, that at
the time of his death there were
few who opposed him. so closely
had he identified himself with the
people by his faithful service as
congressman.
Congressman Stokes leaves sur
viving him a wife and mother, and
one brother, Rev. Edwin Stokes,
of the South Carolina conference,
M. E. church, south, and two
sisters, Misses Anna and Lula.
To all of these 60 out the unfeigLed
sympathies of rowing people.
A special election will be held =
to fill the dead congressman
place, but the time has not been
fixed yet, of conrse. 1t is safe
to say there will be no primary,
but simply general election
Politicians here mention as can
didates Senator Brantley, T. M.
Raysor and w, O. Tatum, of
Orangeburg, and Altamont Moses,
of Sumter. There will be others.

Inside Facts About
The Fertilizer Deal.
Why the Combination is Consider
ed Necessary-Armuur to En-
ter the Field.
The State.


ber of the cotton oil mills in this
and other southern States by the
Virginia Carolina Chemical com.
pany has neeu the chief theme of
conversation during the past week
among the mill men, and many
theories have been advanced as
to what viii he the ultimate out
come Of this combination of cot
ton oil mill properties.
A well known gentleman who
has beer connected with the oil
mill business for number of
years, hut is in no wav connected
with the Virginia Carolina Chsmi-
cal company, stated yesterday that
he considers it a wise move on the
part of the Virginia Carolina com
pany to p"rchase these mills, and
In doing So they were hut provid-
ing themselves with plentiful
supply of meal to he used in the
manufacture of their commercial
ammoniated fertilizers.
1t is well known that meal con-,
tains ammonia in Il desirable pro-
portion and has been extensivel,
used far number of years for
this purpose. The Virginia -Ca1 o.
lima Chemical company hereto-
fore owning no mills had to rely
upon blood and fish scrap to sup
ply their ammonia, the farmer Is
largely produced by Armour &
Co., and Swift & Co.. and often
times the supply is inadequate to
the demand.
1t is we'll known that Armour is
erecting large fertilizer factory
near Atlanta and proposes to enter
actively in competition with the
Virginia. Carolina Chemical COM
pany in the manufacture and sale
of fertilizer in tho south; apart
from this Royster has two large
factories IN Virginia and is erect
ing a new and extensive one near
Columbia and these, to say moth
ing of the other independent fac
tories, will make it lively for the
fertilizer trust as well as consum-
ing large quantltiss of blood,
which supply at times must be
limited, therefore the purchase of
these oil mills in the cotton belt
became almost necs ssity.
The gentleman went on to say
that from his knowledge of the
Virginia Carolina Chemical com
pany's people he believed that
they would deal fairly with the
people of the south, and would
not, because it is now in their
power, run the price of guano and
meal up, nor pay for cotton seed
less than their market value.
Zone thing sure,' he added,
'there will be no wildcat busi.
ness in the cotton seed market this
fall, yet there will be plenty of
competition
The Virginia Carolina Chemical
company, he thought, did not
desire the ownership of all the
mills in the State, but these des-
iring to sell will find in them a
ready purchaser. Enough of the
mills have already been secured to
answer the company's demands
for the present.
The farmers in the eastern part
of the State arc watching coming
developments with interest and
after all are masters of the situa.
ton. L, they are not offered what
they consider fair price for
their cotton seed they need not sell
but can use the seed rs fertilizer
