Kind Words About Charleston.
In its issue of Wednesday, the Lexington
Dispatch says:
The daily Charleston papers give accounts
Of energetic and careful measures on the part
of her citizens tD arrest the disease. They
have our profound sympathies, and we are
sure the whole State is watching the progress
of the disease with the most intense anxiety.
Charleston is justly dear to the heart OF the
State. To no one more than ourselves.
The Newberry Herald comes boldly forward
and tells its country f.iends to help themselves
in helping Charleston. 1t says:
We are rejoiced to learn that the yellow
fever has not assumed al epidemic form, but,
on the contrary, is abating. This is truly good
news, for Charleston is South Cardinals "Cty
by the Sea-" and in her prosperity the noun
tains and the midland. should rejoice, and
when she stands in shadows, We should stand
there too. In unity there Is sympathy every
where among true men, and no local preju-
dices restrain the tributes Of true sentiment.

generous citizens everywhere sympathlze
deeply with her. Last year was not over

busy fall season, and to this end began

ton will the merchants OF the up-country

No they will not. Charleston has many mer-
camille friends In Newberry. Now, the mer-
chants of the State outside the city can do
lasting favor to Charleston in her extremity
It is this. The city Is, without doubt,
full of goods. Let the country merchants
who are North buy lightly for the present,
and, as circumstances warrant, order from
Charleston or walt such time as they may safe
ly visit the city. We are sure this favor Will
be fully appreciated, for friends IN need are
true friends. This may make Charleston's ex-
tremity her best opportunity. and lead TO
very broad plane of commercial fraternity
throughout the State. We regret to close this
article with an obtrusive thought, but will
venture: If there Is q merchant In the State
who is selfish, then the above remarks may be
an appeal to his most selfish motives, for
Charleston must have custom even at sac
