SPELLS REFORM I I Thai Is the Meaning of the Landslide and Not a Mere Slap at Teddy. t ?ROOSEVELT A HUMBUG fc ' ?+ <> the l-'irsi Water Is the (louerul Opinion of ltepublicnns an<! lk>m<HnUN, Hut .Many Democratic I leas Which Ho Stole and I're? -adcl to Stand for Are Good. j iSach McGheo, the accomplished (Washington correspondent af The State, who iv.ado ait extensive tour of the country Just before the election and gave hiy impression of - - ' ? - i . . 'pi... liftings ponucai in hmois* iu i .iu State, is back on his jo J? at Washington, and is now writing once nor- his interesting letters from the cap? al of the nation to The State. 1{ ;] says of course the one topic of tiLscussion in Washington is the Democratic programme. Hut, coupled with this e(iual]y. of course, is a consideration of the the meaning of the Democratic landslide. As already noted in this correspondence, certain influences are being brought co bear to persuade or to scare the Democratic house into making a fool of irenlf. This influence will he exerted with unremitting endeavor from now on, and it will require no little nerve and strength of character on the part of the Democrats who have been elected to the Sixty-second congress to rtwtHt it. No effort will be spared by the Now York press to dominate the situation. And the Xew York yapers are particularly influx ntial iu the South, w here, unfortunately, many people, including not a few newspaper editors, take their cues from what these New York papers say. These New York papers, it should be l?4?Mrue in mind, really know less about: the real sentiment in the country as well as about the conditions west of Hie Hudson river than perhaps any other newspapers in the whole United States. Hut just because New York is big anil the news papers there are big. the people, especially, I say, iu the Sou'th, and more especiallytho.se in newspaper offices, read them and are influenced by ill em. Furthermore, most of these New York newspapers get their own prevailing sentiment, honestly in most cafcUMS. 1 believe, but surely, from the financial districts of the great metropUis, rather than from the rank and file, the ordinary, overy-day cii? I '* ( ? r> Tbeeo papers have sot. out now, and honestly again I am willing to concede, but mistakenly, to make the whole country believe that th recent Democratic landslide is a triumph for what they term "conservatism,*' for the "safe and sane Democracy," which ought to he termed the "inane Democracy." This means nothing, while the trusts, the financial sharks and other marauders loot the people. This is the meaning o; the continued harping on squelching of Roosevelt. Now there are those hereabouts and they are among the keenest observers of politics in the country, who think that this Democratic vie- , tory means nothing of the sort, ii.D... r i > .. ......ii moans not t\ ropiiuiaiiuu ui nuuMfv.'i! at all, i>ut a repudiation of the dominance of tlie Republican party by those who uro supposed to tie the enemies ol Roosevelt. No o. please, tbo word 'supposed". Roosevelt is h humbug of the first water, and that fact is practically admilted by everybody hereabouts, la moerats and Republicans of all shades. , It lias been so recognized hereabouts for a long time. But at the | same time the things which Roosevelt has been saying lie is in favo** | of are generally ail right. The conn- ; try want., them. The leaders of the Dcniooratic party wants them, so far . a# they can be brought about within the constitution Roosevelt has failed to got them. lie only k?N?ps on blustering about them. Thus he is a humbug. The ono towering leader, to whom the Democrats in these parts are turning now is Wood row Wilson, just , elected governor of New Jersey by a tremendous majority aftet conducting a campaign of leadership which really led somewhere. Prmuiueut Democrats here who are trying to Influence the Democratic programme with respect to the inea uros which have been before tb country the past year, especially the tariff, are eonsid- i tvring the desirability of calling into fc^eir conferences the New Jersey governor-elect. Now 1 can say of my own knowledge that Dr. Wilson is not itt any senses what has been termed n "re actio nary." He does not favoi and does not have any tolerance for Hie methods of Roosevelt, having more rctopect for the law aud the constitution and a tlrct regard for the truth. ButdU the same time he does favor a very decided and a very definite programme of governmental reform ia^tyhMng most of the measures that Rowvelt himself bus pretended to hg/r^ndly u>.

Out in Memphis 'the other day a well known minister who once lived in this state was making an address before a large gathering of fanners. Me told them the story of how Jerry Moore had produced over 22S bush els of corn on one acre of land and a re'iilt. tho well known preacher h-is be mi placed in ?tho Ananias club. The people don't believe that so much corn can bo grown on one This minister realiin? that he had; much to do to prove his stafment] immediately addresses a hotter to this state asking for the document- j ary evidence. The affidavits have' been furnished to the minister with a statement from Mie I'nited States government expert, substantiating tbe large yield of Jerry Moor?. A South Carolinian in Virginia also has placed himself apparently in the Ananias Club and he makes rhe following appeal to the South Carolina depart men t of agriculture. "A Virginia gentleman was re- j ceutly 'mlratlng' over a yield of 1 60 hu. of corn per acre, which was mail?' by a Virginia farmer. Under the' impulse of the moment (and which j 1 now realize consisted chiefly of indiscretion) I remarked that that yield had been exceeded in South! Carolina, where a yield of two huti-j dred and fifty bushels had been made I several years ago. "The Virginian?being a Virginian?was t.oo polite to speak his thoughts, but the expression of Ills face, indicated clearly that I hlh*d all the essential requirements for eligibility in tlie Colonel's Ananias, club. 1 now appeal to you in the name of a badly mutilated reputa-j tion, to furnish me with proof to sustain my statement either ia whole or in part.

The yiofd referred to was that by Capt. Drake of 255 bushels on one arce of lanrl. The information has been furnished. One day Senator Smith was discussing agruculture with the members of the agricultural committee of the senate. He mentioned the Drake yield and was promptly doubted by the other members of the senate committee.

The Fertiliser Tag Tax Iluns Up Into a Big Sam. During the past year there were 843.334 tons of fertilizer and 140,705 tons of cotton seed meal us(m1 by the farmers of the State, according to a report submitted Saturday by Clowhoq College to the department of agriculture. This Is a total tonnage of 975.039 tons, which is valued at approximately $20,000,000. taking the averago price per ton for last year as a basis. Clemson College dorlvea a tax of 25 centB on every ton of fertilizer sold in the State and will recel/o approximately $260,000 this year. It Is expected that there will be a measure introduced in the general assembly asking that the number of scholarships be increased for the institution. The State farmers' union placed Itself on record as favoring the increase of scholarships. Inasmuch as the fanners piv this entire tux, it does seem to in mat their sons should got more benefit from Cletnson College than they do.
