One of the leading qualifications for
success in journalism is to have the
moral strength to reject one fourth OF
the articles you are asked to PRINT: ana
then to tear up one half of the articles

Amid the rush Of work and many
| callers, the past week We failed tc note
all the pretty cards from pretty friends
that came dropping in from the various
schools: but they were not forgotten,
nor unappreciated: you bet on that!

difficulty. One report says DR.. w. J..
Emmett made a valiant resistance; while
another states that he is In the hands OF
two physicians for treatment, We have
had two letters giving different accounts;
but do not sec that any good to either DIR
Emmett or DIR. Murphy can come from
continuing the controversy. Our Breth-
rem of the Wilmington ReUieao, and Gold
sboro argus, speak highly Of DR.. Emmett
as an Ex Confederate and good citizen.
We know many good people who speak
highly Of DR.. Murphy. As to the facts
we know nothing and after all what are
"facts?" Nobody knows all the truth
the whole truth, in any case from the
Heavens above, to the Earth beneath, OF
the waters under the Earth. And hdl
a truth often amounts to a lie, or worse
a slandering lie!

Us that the testimony taken 10 court sus
tains his story. But, as we said, eact
side holds its own opinions.

ing the rounds of the press, turns out t.
be a huge canard. Minister Jarvis say.
