The ssDefcnSe'' Of South Carolina and
the APOLOGY" for the Solid South.

If there is one thing a thousand times more
mortlfying than the malicious reports rs to
the conduct of her military on the ccntcn-
ial parade in New York, il is any attempt OF
various editors and newspaper writers to "de-
fend" South Carolina and her troops. South
Carolina needs no defense, and we regard II
rs an assumption on the part Of any man who
attempts to defend her. 1t is emincntly
right and proper to have the facts stated. II
would be an act of gross injustice to withhold
them, but anything like defense" is us vul-
gar as it is presumptuous and unjust. South
Carolina being the peer Of any State in the
| Union, needs no defense. The South
| is as much part of this great Union rs any
other section of the country, and she has nc
| need 10 "apologisc" to the North for being
solid. The day, if it ever existed, for trim
ming our sails to meet the popular breeze al
| the North has passed. The time for trucking
| to the Northern conQueror may we'll be con
sidered among the days that are gone. Being
the peer of any other people, we owe nobody
any apology for being "solid." If we were
anything else than "solid" our condition would
be lamentable indeed and 1t is impudent in
NoLhern politicians to assume to censure US
70. acting for our own best interests. Let
| them sweep before their own doors by at
tending to the interests of their own UNITED
North" and let them not bother themselves
as to US and our affairs.

The ROOk Of par<lOns.

From the Ne,cS and Courier we learn that
some of the Northern newspapers have been
commenting on the annual report OF par
TO the Legislature.
Wedo not know what was said by the North
ern newspapers, but, Judging from what the
Ne,Us ana Courier said, and knowing the char
acter ofthe reports of pardons, we are inclined
to the belief that the Northern editor would be
excusable for almost anything he might
say.
We believe that the book of pardonS furnish
es the key 10 facts which the State oi S"uth
Carolina would not like TO go to. the world,
Without intending to say anything unkin
we would suggest that the DRIFT of the reason :
moving the governor to grant the parGonS
and commutatons, has too much the appear
auce of an effort on his part TO Justify him
self for these official acts. lie need
not write boolfull Of apologies TO tho
people OF South Carolina for doing n simple
duty. Instead of publishing the damaging
admissions of Solicitor. Judge, or Jurylnan,
that they did not believe the testimony war
ranted the convictions in the first place, lei
him simply state that he granted the pardons
or communications on petitions Of citizens.
He can hold back the specifications of those
who may acknowledge their error. The Gov
ernor has no need to go OH the defensive, be
fore he is assailcd.
If the book of pardons Is correct. and WI
have not the slightest shadow Of n doubt or
the subject, it is a fearful commentary OH the
the Courts of this State.
We arc quite sure that the Governor wouit
not like to have the criminal records of thi'
state examined too closely by n diSintercstet
expert, and if the Court, do justice there
will be no need for defending either the
Governor or the State In this particular.

paper, and their appreciation Of the change

We are surprised at one thing. That paper

Cheek Pure and Simple.
We are in receipt of the following letter:

we are IN receipt Ol Ine following letter:
WESLEYAN FEMALE INSTITUTE.
STAUNToN, VIRGINIA, May l3, 1889.
To the Ab6eDilte Press-Editor or Publisher:
Enclosed we send you notice of our Com
mencement Exercises. II you will publish 1t
for US free Of charge, we will esteem 1t q great
ciate. II you decide to show US this courtesy.
please send us copy OF your paper contain
the notice and oblige. Yours { truly,
For downright cheek the above will CON-
pare favorably with anything that we have
seen. II we are not mistaken, this same in
stitution sends its little picayune advertise
ments to some Northern Agency 10 be insert
ed In Southern papers for tritle.
Generally, when business men write TO
others on their own business, they enclose o
postage stamp for q reply, but President
Harris Of the Wesleyan Female Institute, eX.
poets US to pay for setting up his programme,
to pay for the sheet OF paper on which il is
printed, and then to pay either the post
age or swipdle the post office department.
For our own part, we think 1t Of no partic-
ular advantage for a public institution to try
TO beat country news paper out OF its legiti-
mate advertising, and no amount of grateful
appreciation" will lead US into doing so fool.
ish a thing, as complying with such an un-
reasonable request as President Harris
makes.
The editor Of this paper Is not specially IN.
terested in the Wesleyan Female Institute,
and we venture to suggest the editor is the
only man In town Of whom the President OF
the Wesleyan Female Institute would ask a
favor that would involve the outlay of Mon
ey, without offering to make good the actual
cost Of comforting the favor.
We own type, rent an office. employ print
ers and give our time and attention to the
business Of publishing the Press and Banner
for the purpose of making living. 1t is our
business to publish the paper, and yet man
OF sufficient intelligence to be President of q
Virginia Female Institute, has the effrontery
10 ask us to set the type Of his programme, to
crowd out Of our paper Interesting reading
matter that II may have place in our paper.
without even proposing to pay for the sheet
OF paper which he wants sent to him and
without the slightest mention of postage. 1t
would naturally seem that President Har-
riss early training would have suggested to
him the propriety of at least enclosing
the return postage from man from
whom he expected an answer on his own
business. We take it therefore, that Pres
Harris is wanting in proper respect for coun-
try editors, and in consequence he will find
1t exceedingly hard to beat the Press and
B1nenr out OF any free advertising. If he
had had the consideration to send even
enough money to pay the actual cost of set
ting up his piece and the price of a single
copy OF the paper, with the postage, we
might have been willing to do our part of
the work for "grateful appreciation"
licinstitutions will find 1t difficult to
beat us out Of legitimate pr ice for adver-
tising.
