The Story OF Nlr. Schubert and tho New
York SJsst5 Il stuuc


CHARLESTON, S. C., Sept. BIN its
issue of last Monday the Deutscte
Zeitung prints q long and interesting
Story regarding Mir. w. Schubert, of
YorkViIle. The Deutsche Zeitung says
that its readers have frequently heard
of Mr.. Schubert, as he is one Of those
unluchy people who are never out OF
trouble. Some time ago Mr. Schubert
lost hi5 house by fire and the Dautsche
Zeitung took up a subscription il MS
behalf.
More recently Mr.. Schubert was raid.
ed by dispensary ccnstaOies, and later
still he came before the public with a
still more serious grievance. He al
legged that his wife had been unfaithful
to him, and in consequence he institu.
ted legal proceedings against county
commissiraer of York county, whose
name is lot given. Tbe public official,
however, was rich and influential and
Mr. Schubert was poor and had few
| friedns, so that he never succeeded in
getting any satisfaction from the
courts. a month or so ago Mr.. Schu-
bert came to Charleston and appealed
to the Zaitung for aid. The editor of
the Zslrung provided him with lodg-
ings and appealed to some of the in
illentlai Germans of the city to aid
him. These gentlemen, however, de-
cllned to do anything in tAe matter un-
til they had some guarantee Of Mr..
Schuoert'5 COOS character and proof Of
the story which he tod, so be returned
to his hone 10 York7i!!e.
Mr.. Schubert has recently come 70
the front again with letter which was
published 10 the New York Staass
Zeltung. In it be goes over ali of bis
troubles and puts up a very pttiful
story. The Stats ZeiJung Immediate
ly started subscription In his interest
which was headed by the paper with
one hundred dollars.
Thus far the Stats Z9iGung appears
IL very good light, but not content
with aiding Mr.. Schubert that paper
makes his letter the occasion for Bit
ter and violent attack upon the South.
1t pretends to think that all OF Mr.
ochubert'S troubles grew out of a p re-
jddice existing in this State against
people of foreign birth. The Stats
Zeitung says editorially that it has al.
ways warned Germans rot to settle in
the South, and it now gives Mr. Sch u
bert's case as proof Of the wisdom of
lis advice. ltiudulges in quite TRADE
along this line, characterlzlng the peo-
pie of the State as 'those scoundrels."
Il is just here that the editor of the
Dautche Z9itung of this city has come
to the defence of the South in general,
and of this State in particular, in a
very excellent article. He refutes all
OF the charges made by the New Y ork
paper and asserts that in no part Of
the Union are foreigners more re-
spectei or more kindly treated than
they are in the South. He explains
that in this city of $1,000 Inhabitants,
of which about 1000 are Germans,
the Mayor, several member of Coun-
Gil, the chief Of the fire department
and other officials are of German ex-
traction. He says that South Carroll
na offers one of the best homes in the
world foc Germans, and he advises as
many Of them as possible to come
here. The article is au excellent one,
and is a complete refutatioa of the
charges and denunciation Of the New
York Stats Zeitung.-NeSs and Cou-
