The Charleatou Post.
"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. The rest of the |
niaie hcknowleuues uie excellence or tlie peo-(

Iter What
fumy
pie of Charleston. Now, If Charleston can see
any good in people up this way, we will be a
united and friendly people.
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. Wlifn the Pout. InvpRtltrnfPK fnlrlv
and impartially into the facts that paper will
learn to its wonder and amazemen t that there
are very respectable people in tbe country j
wbo don't eat rice.
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.

Still Protest iiijf.
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.

"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

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

canvass, Ik certainly the acme of the mummoth
exhibition that now (joes under the
name of circus. 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.

Tlie Term ''Rebel."
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.
