Man, as well as all other supe-
ri0r animals, has been given five
senses, through which he puts
himself in communication with
the outer world. These senses, we
might say, work as mans serv-
ants, which to a certain extend,
help him and protect him quite
faithfully. Notwithstanding the
good intention Of these mans
servants in performing their func-
tions properly, there is an old
proYerb that says: appearances
deceives.''
Any one who comes to San Juan
and were to judge by appearances,
that is, by what his five senses tell
him, would believe that Porto Ri
co is an island that can not longer
be mentioned among the Latin
American countries, but rather
as a part of the great anglo-saxon
family. Yes, one who comes to
San, Juan and. Judges by appear
ances, would say that, for amer
icaniization can be- seen, can be
felt, can be heard, can be tasted,
and even can be smelled. The vi
sff6r will notice further if he is an
observer, that San Juan, instead
Of having the appearance Of a
Latin American city, looks more
like a Spanish suburb of large

& subject, which perhaps has
been under discussion ever since organized them
selves into cans tribes and nations the subject is moth
ing less than the transmutation of races.
OF course not going to say anything about races
the subject is very slippery one and if many anthro
biologists and ethnologists fell fiat when discussing it,
there is reason why we shouldn't also fall since
are scientific of that any other kind We shall
make brief comment as we see the point in the light
of History and let the reader draw his her
clusions. ~
It is proven fact that no people be compelled by
force to change her national characteristics this holds
true of civilized peoples and applies well to barba
Tians and savages The two latter classes can ex
ermined but not changed. The Poles, and the people
of Alsace Lorraine could not be changed into Germans
and it that when the Germans invaded Belgium
lately remembering the story and having definite sub
lection of the countryin their minds resored to
emascuaton In Viscount Bryce's other official
IepOrts have read of innumerabe cases. when such
thing happened
Not only it would be impossible to make Americans out
of Porto Rcans in the implied by Mr. Vera but
progress in culture shall absorb the Americans
that come. 1t happened that way in Spanish America,
where the Indians absorbed the Spaniards in England
where the Anglo Saxons absorbed the Normans etc In
other Words the conquered people finally conquered the
cOnquerOrs who lost their identity though leaving traces
in language, religion, uses, etc. '#' t.,'t
But Porto Rico can be americanized l. e., we can
tany assmiae the best things that the United States
can offer us, such political and social IDEAS become
bngual people, and progress till able become
member of the family, exactly happened with the many
millions of emgrants that have gone to the United States
Although they continue to be raclay (read nationality
what they were, they nevertheless amercanzed and
able to understand the American ideas and IDEALS and
that is just what intelligent Americans about any
way. We shouldn't worry shall he americanized, all
right to such extent that other section of the melt
ing pot will have right to point finger to us and tell
swe are not Americans. For Who Americans, after
all?
Like Iberia and Gaul were romanzed, though their
inhabitants remained Iberians and Gaus and were not
changed into Romans the inhabitants of Porto Rico
will some day be aericdpised and still Porto Rcans
trick like that done before and IT CAN BE DONE
here.

Kidneys cause backache? Mo-
They have no nerves, therefore can
not cause pain. Listen! Your back
ache is caused by lumbago, sciatica
or a strain, and the quickest relief Is
soothing, penetrating "St. Jacobs Lini-
ment." Rub 1t right on the ache or
tender spot, and instantly the pain,
soreness, stiffness and lameness dis
appears. Don't stay crippled! Get a
small trial bottle of "St. Jacobs Lini-
ment" from your druggist and timber
up. A moment after it is applied you'll
wonder what became of the backache,
sciatica or lumbago pain. "St. Jacobs
Llniment" stops any pain at once. 1t Is
harmless and doesn't burn or discolor
the skin.
It's the only application to rub on a
weak, lame or painful back, or for

2-DAY SUMTER
FAIR DECIDED
ON; FREE GATES

ing of the board of directors of the
organization, held this morning at
the chamber of commerce at the call
of President c. c. Hawkins, for the
purpose of working out details of the
project. Among other things it was
determined to make it free attrac-
ton, no admission fees being charg-
ed.
The date was set at October 16 and
IT, which is in the week of the South
eastern fair at Atlanta and imme-
diately precedes the state fair at Ma
con. 1t is planned to prepare as fine
Sumter county exhibit as can be
gotten together and send it directly
fl ON the Sumter fair to the state fair.
1t was stated, that while the pre-
MUM list is yet to be prepared and
will contain a full list of prizes for
individual exhibits, instead of county
sweepstake prizes being offered, there
will be district sweepstake prizes.
Each director was given authority
to appoint local district committees
to assist in encouraging exhibits from
the various districts, and competition
among the nine districts will be fos-
tered.
The directors will meet again next
Wednesday at 10 a. M, and Oh the

tbusiasm on the part of the Officers
and board was shown at the meeting
