Let the Governor BE Just TO Charles

We think that those who know this paper
will not accuse US Of blind partiality for Char
lesion, and none will deny our friendship to
the best liquor law that we have ever had.
For these reasons, If for no other, we feel
warranted in asking the Governor not to be
precipitate in the matter of exercising his
right to put Metropolitan police In the city OF
Charleston.
1t Is reported In the newspapers that he
may exercise his extraordinary power, If the
Chief OF Police is not re-appointed or con.
tinued in Office. The reason for this action is
based upon fear that the dispensary law
will not be enforced under the new admins
tration.
The Press and Banner hopes to see the Gov.
ernor conservative and conciliatory to the
people who hate him and despise the dispen.
sary law.
Let him deal cleverly with the people OF
Charleston. Give the new city government
chance 10 do their duty, and let the Cover.
nor use no more force than is necessary. II
the city authorities fail to enforce the law,
then let him use all the force that is necessary
TO make the liquor element respect the law.
The Metropolitan police should certainly
be appointed in case the city police refuse to
do their duty. The people will thoroughly
endorse and support the Governor in using
all ,the power necessary, but let him not act
too hastily.

The Citadel.

This old institution hangs In the balance-it
was saved last week by only three votes. 1t
will yet, however, have to run the gauntlet on
the appropriation bill.
Nobody doubts the excellence Of the insti-
tuition, but it seems TO US that the necessity
for its establishment does not longer exist,
and the purposes for which 1t has been main.
tained have passed away, namely: The edu'
cation of the children OF "un fortunate fami.
lies," aud the training OF soldiers for the
army.
Clemson College Is good institution. which
can there accommodate all the boys, and do
It at much less expense than at the Citadel.
South Carolina has no need OF trained sol.
diers, and as the necessity for showing favor
iteism 10 her sons is not in evidence, we see
