TI COMMERCIAL DEMOCRATS. New York Tribune. Those who rernember the :iercenez with which Senator Tillman turne severai years ago on his former co league, Senator John L. Mcbaurin fu adopting some miidly advanced view on the supject of protection to the col ton industry and the promotion of trad in cotton with the Far East by givin postal subventions to American steam ship lines are somewhat nonplussed t :ind Mr. Tiliman now far outrunnmn Mr. McLaurin in devotion to the idea c advancing trade and industry in Sout! Carolina by no les incriminating l4 publican or seni-lietublican expedient Mr. MoLaurin ca!ed himself a Commr cial Democrat. Mr. Tillman callei him an Assistant Itepublican and drov him out of the Democranc organizatio in South Caroimna. In arguing for protective duty on-a South Carot!M product--Mr. Tillman -aid the othe d:tv in the senate. 'There are tho;c who have con., tA belicve and they are in the majo-it now in this chamber and probab- i: the country for the time being. that addition to levying a tariff for revenu, it is permissible :.nd lawful to levy tari:f so ely to encourage Anierican in dustries or to nrotect American labo against foreirn labor. .And again.

If he were tiive, Mr Tillmar would clearly.owe it to appearances ti invite him back into the party ani to propose that they renew policatl ac tivities together as Comiecial Dnmo cra:-. The Tribune is not alone it commenting on the inconsistency of Tilinan. the people through out South Carolina, and the Na tion are wondering why it was, they iet Mr. Tillman work the -grasy pig" game upon them, and thereby deprive theniselves of the.- services of an honest pub lic servant who promised well tc rank high in statesmenship. A the Tribune says McLaurin's protection views extended only to th.- cotton industry, and the promotion of trade in the staple of the South with the Far East. McLaurin was laboring to ex tend the markets for cotton that the demand might be greater. and the price better. He was working for Southern inter ests. ~'illman. however, has been voting for a protec tive tariff, not only in the present revision, but the records will show that he voted right )long with the Republicans while the Dingly-bill was being :onsidered. Both the Senator ind his brother George D. Till man made no secret of favoring protection, but when McLaurin lttempted todo something for the teople of the South,Tillman rea ized, if hie succeeded it meant nore strength for McLaurin,and vith this jealous spirit actuating im, he sought McLaurin's po itical destruction. He pointed o McLaurin's advocacy of pro An Outpourinq of Mei inM Trhat's a strong assertion, Sale justities it.

Don't mistake the AAR' IE STORE tection legislation. and pro, nounced it Republicanism. Till man was in the saddle at that a time. and everything he said went. It was a veritable cry of Sstop thief" that he started after McLaurin. and the little court house politicians carried on the refrain until the noise they made so dis-usted McLaurin's sensa tive nature, that ie decned to stand for re-election: the very thing Tillman was working for, because he knew a campaign by McLaurin explaining his position and showing up TillIman's sup port of the protected trusts. would have exposed an hypocri sy that would have ultimately r culminated in Tillman's repudia tion. The Tribune has lost track .1of McLaurin since 'is retire mient toprivate life. No, we are 2 happy to say McLaurin lives, is !.in good health, and is waiting Li for Time to prove his statesman ship, and to expose the hypocri sv of his detractor. We do not know that McLaurin will ever return to politics, but we do know he has many admirers I who appreciate his good mo - tives, wisdom and broad states manship. PRESIDENT DAVIS OPPOSED TO PRO HIBITION. An open letter from ex-Presi dent Jefferson Davis written in l!-i7. in opposition to prohibition. is being used by the anti-prohi bition press at this time for the purpose of the effect it will have on the voters in August where elections are to be held. The Prohibitionists would make a mistake to deny the distinguish jed Davis' letter, they should readily concede it to have been his views at the time, but since 17, conditions have changed, then prohibition in the South would have been laughed at. now it has the serious consider ation of men of all faiths and creeds. It is not a unanimous I sentiment by any means, some of our very best and wisest citizens doubt the wisdom of prohibition legislation, but admit the abuse of liquor is an evil, and the sale should be under strict regula tions, then there are equally as good citizens who religously be lieve it is the duty of the State to enact laws prohibiting the; sale of intoxicants, then there is - :lass who feel that such ques tions cannot be settled by statu tory laws. The differences in opinion can be sincere, with all except the "political-prohibition ist whose stand is not based on: principle, but seltish policy, andl this kind are intolerant to the' - obnoxious stage. IIt matters not what views were entertained by the Presi dent of the late Southern Con-* federacy upon the liquor ques ton. even were he living today, they would only be his individ ulthought, and we cannot see rchandise Never Equalled anning. but the results of our Whirlwind en profit. in a mad3 scramble to ito money. mn wears that you can't buy here is stirring up business with a efore the stock melts away. k with the Broom of Prices. 1c word, how well we obey the rices we quote, by the hurry-up 2 a yurchase eyes, feel of the quality. place. ali Look for the I ON [fIAT FLIES what influence hs uner nces should have upon the prese"nt conditions. Whil e we hold someiiwhat sim ilar views on the liquor question, and would prefer safe guarded liquor selling regulations to prohibition, vet we recognize that the majority seem anxious to try prohibition, and as major ities rule. the dragging forth of expressions from distinguish ed men of the past. who lived in another century. with altogether different conditions, is in our opinion, irrelevent.and can have no potential effect. AN EDUCATIOAL RALLY. The educational rallys through out the State. under the auspi ces of The Educational Campaign Committee. is going to have the effect of arousing a renewed in terest in the cause of education. The date selected for Clarendon is August 6th. and this event should be made a holiday: men and women should attend the rally. No school district should be without a full representation. County Superintendent Browne is anxious to have the rally in Clarendon a great success. but it will not be unless the people, whoare to be benelited take a full hand. There is not a school district but that needs improvements, some have ideas and plans that others have not. an interchange of these ideas will result in a wonderful amount of good. We build modern school houses, levy special taxes, and do other things in the name of educational advancement. but all of these while necessary. are wasted en ergies, if the people themselves do not tke an active inte-rest in the actual work. School improvement is a problem to be solved: it cannot be done in a day. the best mind of the country is at work to create better facilities at a re duced cost. At these rallys all of the vari ous difficulties of school manage-: ment will be taken up, those who have suggestions looking to im provement in the school system will be welcome to give the ben-: efit of them, in fact the rallies are to extract wisdom from the multitude of thought. We hear tily endorse the movement, and assure our county Superinten dant of Education. that if we have any influence it shall be used to help him make his rally on August 6th the success it de serves. We want it distinctly known: that the educational rally for Clarendon, is not a "meeting for men only," the ladies are urged: to grace the occasion with their presence.

It occurs to us. that in as much as the President of the South Carolina University is at the nead of a State educational In stitution, it is in bad taste for him to be stumping the State in the interest of partisan politics. it is especially so. since this dis tinguished educator is not a citi zen of the State, and has no vote in the election. There are many who would deplore any antago nism to the university. and they believe. when the president of the institution takes part in a political controversy he invite-s an antagonismu to the institution1 he presides over.

There is a disposition with ma ne' Of our ariers to be teinnted by the prive oliered fo. future (.e liverv cotton. It is not our purpos.- to runil other- people's business. but w' d. o O think it well ,, caution azainst that which we believe to bt. injurious to their inte'rests. The indications are fojr cttn to bring a splendid prici-.everythingl points that way. The mills are bare, and the demand for manufactured goods is the greatest ever known Cotton goods. in anticipation of the high price is advancing dai lv. the manufacturers have their agents in the field to make con tracts for the fall delivery, and with this condition it does strike us that the ,,rowers of cotton can alford to wait for the markets to open. and not tie themselves to speculators. Ev.ery bale of cot ton sold for future delivery aids n keeping the price from reach ing the value that supply and demand cret, and those who make these contracts hurt themselves as well as their fellow farmers. We therefore take the liberty to advise against selling future delivery cotton. The pennant won by Charles Lon's ball teau.. in the dim, dis tant past will again be flung to the breeze at sunrise on the orning of August 1tth. It is a beautliul white flag and will be an appropriate emblem for a prohibition (?) city. The Washington correspond ant of the News rnd Courier this morning reports. that the inter View with secretary of agricul ure, had by Col. Watson. Messrs DuRant and Davis. relating to ocating a tobacco experiment station at Manning was not al ogether approved by Secretary Wilson. but. he thought best to ;end a tobacco expert to go Lbout from place to place among hie farmers, and perhaps put a :uring barn at Manning. We do iot regard this at all discourag ng, but on the contrary, we take t to mean a concession which il ultimately accomplish -ets.

In all opera lious.es. seats .:r.' provided for colored people. usually in the .aileries. separated entirely from the Whites, and it is not consider.-d. nor is it in any way bordering upon social equaliy, rio more so. than are the "Jim C'row." cars on the railroad where the two races occupy the same car. but separated by a partition. Even in churches, it is frequently the case that colored people are provided with seats in the gallery, and there is no thought of social equality. We understand there are some people here who excepted to the management's provision for colored people, but when this became known, the sale of seats to negroes was countermanded, and on onday evening an an nouncemnent to that effect was made from the stage.
