The Columbia State has invito<l each of its correspondent* throughout the State to tell in a short article?two hundred words, \we Iwlieve, is the limit?why his town is the l?est town in South Carolina. The State's Kiugstree Correspondent lias not as yet submitted his contribution in this unique contest. ' It may l>e that the local correspondent of The | State thinks it a work of superero- j , gation to expend the time and | energy necessary to explain in two hundred words what he and every one else capable of niak-j ing an ? intelligent comparison j holds to be a ^elf-evident truth, I namel)-, that Kingstree i? the! / liest town in the State. While it does seem superfluous! to take the trouble to emphasize \ a truth so palpable, still we are! rather inclined to think that the Kingstree correspondent i> a>-> suiuing a little too inneh, if our presumption is correct as to the . -*- cause of? Ins not thrusting our town into the lime-light -of newspaper publicity. There are a ' great many people s in the State | ^ ?esjxvially the up-State folk? who confuse Kingstree with Kingstreet," Charleston's fashionable l>oulevard, while others, who really ought to know lietter, are so ignorant of State geography that they not only have never heard of the "liest town in South Carolina " alias Kimrstree but even confute Williamsburg County ? with an area of nearly one thousand square miles?with a little puiup station somewhere in , Anderson county named Williamston ! Such crass ignorance is of course appalling, hut the chief mission of the press is to educate the people, and we doubt * not that in opening its columns to this competition The State had in mind the bringing alnnit uf :i letter understand in? and knowledge of "tfie names and local habitations" of places and I>eople remote from one another in point of distance^ and assdciation. / For this reason we regret that a waiting, anxious public was not enlightened why and wherefore historic Kingstree, the capital ??f Williamsburg county, which snugly nestles along the willov^ I fringe 1 I tanks of tin* stream the altoriginees gave the name of "Wee Net\" i- hy *x|(l< the 'test i town within the l>orders of the | proud Palmetto State. !
