THURSDAY, JULY 23. 1908.
Charleston as of Old,
Doea a newspaper mould the|
thought of the community in!
which it circulates, or does the
community mould the thought of;
the newspaper, or do they both
act and react on each other? In j
^? ?o..l
eitner case me quesuuu jo a yiuh|
one. The feeling of Charleston I
toward the small remainder of
the American continent has long
been a matter of public informa- |
tion and general comment It!
would seem that with the prog-!
ress of learning and the in- j
creased facilities for communica-!
tion and travel, even the remotestj
backwoodsman should learn to see
over is. own yard fence, but
none are so blind as those who '
will not see. When such an idi-!
osyncracy becomes so astoundingly
conspicuous, it would seem but i
just and proper for one to inquire
why it is and how it is
that one of the most highly favored
sections in lower South <
Carolina persists in prepetuating!
generation after generation with;
idea? no larger than its own tiny!
individual shell. Do the news- j
papers control the idea, or does
the idea control the newspapers? j
A striking illustration of this,
and one that commends itself for
serious reflection to the thoughtful
and unprejudiced mind, is
found in the opening and closing
paragraphs of a four-inch
news item in the New6 and Courier
of July 15th:
"Those Charlestonians who have
friends and relatives in Creat
Britain will be glad to hear
that, after October 1, the postage
between the United States and
that country will be reduced
from five cents for the first
ounce and three for every additional
ounce, to two cents for
every ounce or fractior of an;
ounce." * * *
"As many Charlestonians have
traveled and are traveling in j
Europe, and have friends in that I
hemisphere, this improvement in
postal facilities will be welcome
news to them.''
These two paragraphs present
a pitiful and pathetic picture of1
that old fashioned SDirit of ex-1
clusiveness that has so long enslaved
the inhabitants of the
little triangle across from Mount
Pleasant. Such suburbs of Charleston
as Boston, Philadelphia, NewYork,
Chicago, New Orleans, New
Haven, and one or two others
around on the edges of Charleston
will have no interest in this
piece of glad tidings because
they have no "friends or relatives
in Great Britain" or because
none of them "have traveled"
or ever will travel "in that
hemisphere."
But this is not all ! Let us i
analyze and examine a little fur-!
ther. To whom will "this im- j
provement in postal facilities be;
welcome news ?" Aus. To "those:
Charlestouians who have friends
and relatives in Great Britiau."
?"C harlestonian s(that) have j
traveled and are traveling in Eu
rope, and have friends in that j
hemisphere." Only "those"! This
1
is a long stride. It almost takes
ones breath. That Charlestonians
generally bear the reputation of
thinking and feeling that they
are it, to the exclusion of the
small remainder of the rest of
this continent has loug been '
known, but that a Charlestonian \
should be guilty of the sin of
excluding Charlestonians is un
heard of until now. It is a long
step back toward the sea and a
sign of dangerous conformity to<
the habit and feeling of the inhabitants
of the shells on the
sea shore. We are loath to believe
that in this case the ideas
of the people mould the thought
of the newspaper.
Mr News and Courier, if the
rest of us have no friends or
lelatives in Great Britian, have
never traveled and never expect to
travel in that hemisphere, aud
even though we shall never have
any occasion to address a business
letter over that way, ""Jo
not deny us the pie
honor of rejoicing wii
Charlestonians" who ;
graciously favored and wh
earnings may hereafter be
ed of the strain of such e
ing demands.

For Railroad Commissioner.
I beg to announce my candidacy
for re-election to the office of Kailroad
Commissioner.
1 am making my campaign, not on
promises as to what I will do, but
on what I have done. Those who
have had business with the Railroad
Commission will testify that I have
ever been ready to discharge the

and to the best interest of
the people of South Carolina, and
that I have always been courteous

1 am the ouly Railroad Commissioner
who has moved his residence
to Columbia, so as to be in immediate
touch with the work of the office.
During my term of office 1 have
personally inspected every line of
railroad in the State, often walking
crossties that 1 might be assured
that the condition of the roadbeds
and tret ties were safe.
I have been often m every county
in South Carolina, looking into the

proving the conveniences for the
traveling public.
I have stood for lower freight and
passenger rates* better schedules,
and safer modes of travel.
The handsome majority you gave
me formerly has always been appreciated
and has been an incentive to
a faithful performance of my duties.
I hope to have your support in the
coming election, and I shall strive
ever to render you faithful service.
Respectfully,
BanksL Caughman.
