To the F.ditnr
In a recent letter to the
editor an appeal was made
to the Gamecock readers to
have the Confederate flag
destroyed. As a native Texan
and a resident in several
. "Rebel" states throughout
my lifetime, my first
reaction was a feeling of
, being slapped in the face by
j a Northerner who was
j totally unfamiliar with
Southern pride.

forth is weak. He twists
