BLACKBOARD JOURNALISM RE.
BUKED.

The Durham Globe Of the Esd inst. |
makes most wanton and cowardly at
tack npon fEv.~ BAYLUs CADE, editor of |
the Progressive Farmer, which the press
OF the State cannot afford to let 60 unre-
buked. We say the attack is cowardly
for two reasons:
FIRST. The Globe insinuates that the
editor of the Progressive Farmer might
go elsewhere than in North Carolina by
some other name than the one given
him by his -purents, and which he has
never disgraced by questionable action
during a public professional life of
twenty five years. The editor of the
Globe knew that he dare not charge
upon Mr.. CADE what he meanly insinu-
ates. Now, any man who insinuates
against another delinquency waich he
dare not charge against him, o. enly acts
like coward.
SECoND-The editor OF the Globe
knew that Mr.. CADE's character forbade
him to resent any attack the Globe
might make upon him, no matter how
dirty that attack might be. AXd we say,
that man who attacks another, when
the character and calling of that other
forbids him to visit his assailant with
corporal punishment, acts like coward
This dirty attack upon REV. BAYLUs
CADE was entirely unproyoked. The
Globe attributes to the Progressive Far
mer language which the Progressive
Farmer did not use, and then says the
editor of the Progressive Farmer "lies
| like horse thief" The annals of jour.
nalism in North Carolina might be
searched in vain for anything that will
equal in baseness this attack upon
the editor of the Progressive Far
mer. For one, we desire to
record our indignant protest against
this attempt of an unknown lnterloper,
upstart and blackguard to come into this
|
ters Of good men; and We call upon the
citizens of Durham, and upon the peo
pie of the State in general to see to it
that the editor Of the Globe finds no op
portunity to use an alleged neWspape,
to defame the men who are trying tt
elevate and ennoble every class of ou
citizenship.
If man of such pure and upright lif
as Rev. BAYLUs CADE cannot escape th
detraction of the Globe, whc is saf
from its stream of misrepresentation
and foul slander2 Mr.. CADE came t
North Carolina five years ago to becom
, pastor of the Baptist church at Louis
, burg, and is still pastor of that church
About month ago he added to hi
labors and his field Of usefulness by b'
] coming editor of the Progressive Farmer
r He is highly esteemed by all wh
4 know him, and is upright, sincere
courageous and able. Outside of Wax
| and Franklin, and among the gre;
q army of Baptists of the State, Mr.. CAI
9 is not generally known in North Car
u lima; and if it were not for the fact th'
+ detrac!ion by the Globe is sure sign
: integrity and honor, this base sland
a might injure Mr.. CADE where he is n
Known. AS it is, the slanderous artlc
II Of the Globe is proof positive of Nj
J. CADE's high character and pure patrio
he ism.
II If this dirty attack had been MAJ
Z, upon US, we would not have noticed
h But when it is made upon one OF o
OF friends, and also threatens the dlgnltl
and decencies of journalism in the Stat
we cannot do less than hold the auth
e of it up to public scorn and contempt.
