Xpe Great City of Charleston Against- ^ the "Country"' People of the State. ( If the citizens or Charleston are human ( they will next year have a candidate for gov- ' ernor (not necessarily a Charleston man) i whose competency as well as wishes they " ruay rely on and they will vote for him i whether or not he receives another vote in ; the State. Charleston properly has shown a ' conciliatory disposition. Now that she has been disgracefully Imposed upon by Governor Ellerbe acting from motives whose snowy purity and sincerity are beyond suspicion, 1 she should at least command the respect of mediate ny reseouug it iu iuc uui; ?aj ou? can. Home rule Is issue enough for Charleston at least to make (he kind of fight that Charleston is capable of when she Is thoroughly around."?Greenville News. If the citizens of Charleston are crazy, they "will attempt something of this sort and find | the entire State solidfled against them and their indiscreet adviser powerless to help them in his own county. This intimation tbat Charleston must do this in order to command the respect of the rest of the State Is moonshine. The rest of the State Is not losing any sleep over Charleston's disappointments and this pushing of Charleston Into an attitude of hostility to the rest of the State, ? ^11~ ? ?>i " to ininrtmia?Charleston wiiiic ncn uicaui) 10 IUJM? ivw? Evening Sun. We think the whole State of South Caro. Una would make the cause of Charleston Its cauee, If Charleston 6bowed less of a t rebellious spirit; and If that city appeared ( more in sympathy with the laws of the Statej ( aud more In touch with the "country" people Charleston would And her truest and best ( friends outside the limits of that city. I While we have no doubt of the loyalty of f the newspapers that have In the past espoused the cause of Charleston?even If misrepresenting that city?but they have done more to , create suspicion, antagonism, and distrust of ? that city tban all else besides. y The course of the newspapers of Charleston have beeu exceptionally unwise In their treatment of tbe rest of the state. In adopting a line of policy wbich baa been irritating to tbe last degree no good has come to the t city. I The efforts of the newspapers of Charleston ^ in behalf of tbe foreign born illicit liquor dealers?in disregarding tbe laws of their s adopted country?is. as far as we have been t able to learn, without a precedent in tbe an- i Dais of newspaperdom. f Tbe Reform leaders have been treated by the Charleston News and Courier In a way a that has seldom been accorded to popular i leaders of any other people. v No other city, as far as we kuow, has declared open defiance to the laws of their State. f The newspapers of no other city have ever t shown as little respect for people outside ol y Charleston as we believe that Charleston's morning newspaper has shown to the people of South Carolina. t Ib the literary, the social, the commercial or the business circles tbe people of Charleston have no superiors. Aiid, with all this, it is astonishing that these excellent people will allow their daily newspape s to misrepresent ? tbem in politics and excite opposition to tbem in every conceivable way. \ On a dead level, and wlaen not moved by personal dislike or contempt of others, we believe tbat tbe people of Charleston are the finest and best specimens of Individual citizenship to be found in America. The fact is?except in theU contempt for law and other people, together with sympathy for dirty foreigners?Charleston is a 0 city of which all of South Carolina would be b very proud, if they were properly treated by ^ those excellent people. , We quite agree with the Charleston Sun in ' its opposition to the act of "pushing Charles- t ton Into an attitude of hostility to rest of the State." Charleston having run over this State so long, and having kicked up such a dust over * hnr Holormlnollnn In h??lr S laws of the State, that, speak log for this J newspaper, we are now afraid of anything p that comes from Charleston?or is proposed by that city. l There is no need for Charleston to attempt I to open illicit Italian bare in that city. The 1 probability is, that the people will see to It that the liquor law is enforced, even ,, in that great and mighty city. If Charleston could sit down a little while ll and behave herself, and stop the course of the y News and Courier in stlrricz up Btrlfe, it | would be only a short time until Charleston v would occudv her Drooer dI&ca in tha nnlHin* of tbe Slate. ^ Under the circumstances, 11 Governor El- t lerbe had removed the Metropolitan police, ? he would today be looking into his open political grave. If Governor Ellerbe had gone back on his t' friends to placate enemleB who bad no friendship for him, he would, in the minds and hearts of tbe people, be so dead that he I would be unable to appear on tbe morning of ? the general resurrection. Asa native South Carolinian, who loves ev. ery part of her soil and who is proud of her v % history, we protest against tbe suicidal policy which has been pursued by the News and b Courier in creating a distrust of a city which is entitled to our love and confidence. Charleston is so full of herself and her metropolitan ways that all tbe rest of the J State is deemed "country." In publishing j news from the more enterprising and wide awake cities of the State, the News and Cour- ? ier daily beads that information with "Our 5J Country Mail Bag." The Ilea of the old dead city of Charleston, with not a single prosperous manuiaotury within its limits, deeming ? letters from Spartanburg as contributions by way of "Our Country Mall Bag."

Spartanburg and Greenville, with all tbelr J thrift and enterprise are only suburban placeB j which contribute letters to the great metro- . politan dally. 11 Tbe people of tbe various small cities may g be country folk?and they may live a long way from tbe battery, but in tbe struggle of life tbe small cities teem with men wbo are J Just as able, Just as good, just as manly, and ^ Just as intelligent as tbe majority of the citizens wbo assume to sneer at and dub tbelr " equals "country" folk. ? v A Real Dlnmand, iu n Setting of 81 Gold.
