The South Carolinian has always ar
rogated to himself the name Carolinian.
aud he has never been on very familiar
terms with his northern neighbor His
feeling for his southern neighbor, the
Georgian. is also one of mere tolerance,
for the latter has long been called the
southern Yankee and fairly deserves the
appellation. He has much of the
shrewdness and push that mark the
typical down easter" and he has a
considerable share of that worthy's
moral earnestness In addition he has a
good deal of the Virginian' geniality
and love of comfort, of the North Caro-
linian's unpretending democracy and of
the South Carolinian s tendency to ex-
hibitions of fiery temper
But over and above everything else he
has an honest and hearty and not IN.
founded pride in Georgia. and sort of
Masonic utilization with every person,
animal. institution, custom-in short,
thing-that can be called Georgian. He
may not always stand for culture, but
he does always stand for patriotism,
state and national He loves success,
strength, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and the
solid virtues generally-neither is he
averse TO the snowy ones-but above all
he loves virtue in action Though pos.
sessed Of a strong. clear intellect, he is
more particularly man Of five senses,
OF which he makes as good use as he
can. He may not always taste the
sweetness or see the light of the highest
civilization. but he has good healthy
appetite for life. w p Trent in At
