The Centennial.

The recent Centennial celebration
seem to have inuugurated an era oi
good feeling between the North and
the South. In tho historic scenes
OF revolutionary events, the two
sections can meet with common
feeling and united sentiment. They
remember on'y those days in which
their fore fathers stood side by side
with truly frateroal good. Soon
after the Inauguration Of the Union,
the two sections began to differ in
politics, and these differences finally
oulmiuatod in the Lutte civil war
Revolutionary ground is therefore
about .he only ground upon which
they can stand in uuity. 1t is po
cul liarly fortunate that these oonten
nial celebrations have oome at thit
time. Fully decade was required
after tho civil war for sectional pass.
ions to cool down. Had tho cen.
tonnials come sooner they would
have been failures. But everybody
is weary of tho old war spirit
and is willing to accept some other
political issue. 1t is therefore lust
the time for fraternal' in intermingling
This ia proven by the kindly spirit
displayed at Lexington, Charlotte
and Bunker Hill. -.
The South can at last begin to
feel that sho has ome,l,ing in com.

fore worry desirable that the South
be represented fully at the philadel
phia Centennial. This will be q
worlds Fair, and tho world will yisi,
1t. There can be no better adver-
tiscmcnt than full representation in
this exhibition. We wish tho ad
vantages of Sou'h Carolina especially
to be made known--her fine soil and
climate and the character of her
people. In this way i'm migration
may be induced to come within ou:
borders.
AS set South Carolina has taken
no steps to secure representation, aud
there is not much mvre than year
