"s Among oiuer mings mat me cnariesion Post said Monday of last week was tbe following: Our Abbeville friend further remarks: ' But, neighbor, suppose we bury the past.! and let the city of Charleston and the rest of the Mate become reconciled? Can't we have peace? You have been relieved of the metropolitan police. Why try to widen the breach betweeu tbe city and thepeoplt?" This Is In better spirit and we must regard It kindly. Truly we see no reason lor widening the breach between tbe city and the rent of the state and we have every desire for harmony, but before this can be fully reached,! the Press and Banner and others of Its kind,! must cease Its abuses and misrepresentations of our people end we must have In our state offices men of tact, ability and common sense. Instead of demagogues and weakllnis. It tbe Press and Banner will Join In an effort to secure such a consummation, we will have no quarrel with it. Now, you seeourfrlend will quarrel. When i we propose peace betweeu Charleston and the j reetof the State, he charges us with "abuses | and misrepresentations," without saying! that be would lay down his arms and treat the | rest or the Slate fairly. lie further says: "We must have In onr State officrs men 01 tact, ability and common sense, instead ol demagogues and weaklings." The Press and Banuer doesn't agree with . the statements above. We think our State) officers have common sense, and that they are neither demagogues nor weaklings, but j why raise issues of that kind, neighbor? Just such a course Is what keeps up strife. | One of the State officers at least is Charles- j ton's choice?the Adjutant General, for in-1 stance. But we will not quarrel, even if j Charleston has changed her mind In that par- i ticular. Let us all be friendly, neighbor. It Is so much more pleasant to us all. Get your people to go out amongst us now and then. Let | them improve their vision, and their Ideas about people who live outside of Charleston will be changed.

But Charleston ought not to expect us to capitulate entirely. We will hardly do that. You recollect the story about the lion and the lamb lying down together?the lamb, It will be remembered, lay down Inside. There are too many of us to lie down inside of Charleston. We have hopes of the Post. That editor seems to be willing to leta little light into bis soul, and as soon as that editor and other Chariestonians can recognize that there are other people in the State than those living in Charleston, tlie.dawu of a better.day will benefit ns all.

If the Post could once manage to get iuto its j bead that it would be well for Charleston to give tbe rest of the State no cause for "abusing" the city, it would be well. We would not do like the Post in laying down rules, but would suggest that hereafter we don't rake up old things. Let the Post recognize the rest of the State as people, and for the sake of harmony let the good old city yield the externals which would lead us to believe, that the city would deal fairly with us ?that fairness which is based npon theequality of citizenship with equal rights in every respect. Nobody has made war on Charleston, except for cause?real or imaginary. Xcw York Knckot Store I.ovnN. Huy your eroceries, notions and tinware from tbe new Racket Store.

Tbe Register a^aln refers to tbe fact that some printers copy from that paper without giving credit. We do cot know who are the sinners In this particular respect, but we believe that about three times out of four the country printer makes a mistake in copying anything? credit or no credit. As a rule, pieces that are copied to fill up a country weekly paper, are not half as Interesting as local Items or editorials written on subjects which are oflntereat to that particular community. A paper that Is largely made of pieces copied from other papers cannot answer the demand for local news. When a country paper makes Its edition a country edition of the city dallies a mistake has been made. A dally newspaper that aspires to be a State paper can advantageously copv short pieces from Its country exchanges, as showing a recognition ot the different communities, and editorials that are copied from the country press may tend to show the trend of public sentiment. We are unable to understand how any editor can object to the use of his matter by any other editor. The fact that such matter Is used by others often furnishes the best evidence that the borrower ought to do a little more hustling himself. If be worked more ne would have less occasion to borrow. THE WALLACE SHOW, ItN Attraction* are no Clreat That They Draw Saints and Sinners ? The Clown Will Entertain All?The An. linalH Will be o! Interest to Plows People and Sunday School Scholars. "Truthfully advertised and hoDorably conducted" Is tbe motto tbat the Great Wallace Shows claim to live up to. This tented exhibition will exhibit in Abbeville Tuesday. November 2ud, and if half of the promises set forth by the management are true the Wallace Shows then deserve to be classed with the largest shows of this kind in this country. This aggregation has for the past 15 years toured the south and west, and their reputation in this section of the country is of the very best. Each year tbe enterprise has enjoyed a steady and healthy growth until, at tbe present time, the pinnacle ofashov/man's ambition has been reached. It is said that over one thousand people are carried, WO horses,50 cages and dens ol wild beasts, 100 principal acts and a spread of canvas, that will i swxoa*. 1 O lirrt An.?rnf>aKln st.xr.-.. Tlie shows reeeutiy exhibited In Ashevllle, N. C. The Gazette haw among other good things the following published in Its editorial columns: After all, there Ih nothing In the amusement i line to excel! the circus, especially such a cir-, cus as exhibited in this city yesterday. As In ancient days, it is the show for all the people, i Nearly alt the people went to It yesterday, or I came to town to see its chariots and horses and bands, dromedaries, elephants and caged beasts and riders and athletes parade the streets. Iiarnutn used to say that the people , "liked jo be humbugged," butthe people have i been humbugged a good many times, and I they like It better now when in the circus the ! element of humbug is lacking. It was lacking j In the circus that exhibited here yesterday, j The managers advertised the show as a "moral" one, and It certrlnly taught a lesson in morality, in being honest in fulfilling Its promises and decent In all its features. This i was so noticeable as to be praiseworthy.!

Every performer wan a specialist, In his line, ami showed to a wonderful degree the capacity of the human body for development to do extraordinary feats. This was specially true of the Nelson family, whose remarkable performances were oneof the best features of the show. The entire family? grandfather and graudmother, their sons and their son's children?were "born in the circus," their ancestors before them being acrobats, and their feats of strength and agility J are the result of constant training that began in early infancy. In the Wallace show, the people of this vicinity saw the first genuine horce racing under canvass, and the charriot races were truly thrilling. Mr. Wallace's circus Is deserving of much praise for Its refinement, honesty, excellence and enterprise. It Is ceriuinly the best of the great tented shows that has visited Asheville. m l m Put up your fruit with the American Pre j serving Powder and Liquid. For sale at j Speed's.

Every soldier of the Lost Cause must feel proud of any part which he may have taken In the greatest of all the battles?those between the South and the North. . While we respect the prejudices and canvlctlons of those who object to the word "Rebel," and while we fully believe In their patriotism and In their desire to honor those who fought for the Losit Cause, yet, as far as this editor Is concerned, we have no objeotton to the word "Rebel." According to our way of thinking it la the word, above all others, of which Southerners should be proud. We "rebelled" against ac- ^ tual or imaginary grievances, and no people ever fought with more determination or ware t ever more true to their convictions. F Of course there may be venom and tnlsrep- 8 ! resentation In stating the history of the past, j and the word "rebel" may be used la a way I that may be offensive to truth and contrary ^ j to the dictates of good manners, but as a plain I historical fact, there is no word that so clear| ly Justifies the action of the South. Rebel, i roholllnn onrl almllor trnrHo r?nntrov thA IHon ; within themselves that there was wrong at i a In i the hand of e,n actual or imaginary oppres-1 j sor. ! We conceive "Rebellion" to be quite a cllf-|? ferent word from "Insurrection." Without "Rebel," what would we do with the "Rebel Yell," and "Johnnie Reb ?" a We appreciate the motive that would save s the Confederate soldier from odium or censure, but as for the little part that this editor took In that struggle, we accept the term "Re- c be 1" with pride. We aie very proud of being * a "Rebel," and we are more proud or the little fi ! part In which we acted, but have no word of ? I complaint to make against those who object $ to the word, Rebel. The word "Rebellion," h i carries with It the Idea of honor In resisting ? oppression, and we are willing to be forever counted as a Rebel against wrong. That word could not be used, except with Idea that n wrong was being imposed, and that it was resented. Snetesllon. If our esteemed brethren of the Georgia press will dow expend half as muoh energy in behalf of the convicts of that State as thej' have hereloforegiven to .South Carolina's whiskey business, they may be able to stop a brutal system of treatment of coDvlctf. which has disgraced the State of Georgia for the last few years. If they will cease to Intermeddle with our whiskey, and sweep before their own doors as to Georgia convicts, they might do a good work. We have plenty of whiskey advocates in South Ciroilna, and the foreign stillers ot corn liquor have many misnionarles doing their work in this State. But If the temperance people remain true to their convictions they will come out all right. ????1 The Pleken* Sentinel.
