attack will publish that newspaper
in my black Inst al defending swind-
| lers.r
If this is Mr.. Heywoods intention he
is arrogating considerable to himself
and if the statement ia meant as
threat to keep papers from expressing
| disapproval of what he says if the oc-
| casion requires it, we think it will not
take hin long to find out his mistake.
Beyond Mr. Heywood's generalities
| against swindlers, dishonest assignors,
etc., in 1.-THE South" and in "Norsh
| Carolina" las far as we have read North
Carolina is the only State he has singled
out in this connection by name) we fad
cept an airing Of his own personal affair.
That 10 the only specific occurrence to
| which he alludes. We said at the first
if Mr.. Haywood bill Of $75 was just
lain it ought to be paid, and if Mr..
Hollywood believed his claim just one
the law was at his service for it's collec-
ton and would have sustained him, but
the Edeuton side of the story is that it
ia not just, for Mr.. Hey wood emily gave
them about one-fourth the space in his
book that they contracted for, and mis-
cradle, unrecognizable pictures of prom
inent places of Edenton instead of good
engravings as he agreed.
We believed then and believe still
that the people of Edenton would have
seen Mr.. Haywood paid without any
recourse to unpleasant m easures if they
belieYed he had fulfilled his part Of the
contract.
"Is IT BUNCo?-Our esteemed
friend, Southern Progress, has done
us the favor Of putting Southern
Times on black list.
The Progress is a neatly gotten up
monthly, devoted to HIGH PROTECTION
and abuse in general. It is cloud"
On regulators, and says "they have
destroyed the credit of every South
ern State
We are not personally acquainted
with Mr.. Frank A. Haywood, the
fashy editor, (who no doubt is the
very SOUL OF HONESTY HIhsELF) and
have no use for personalities.
Is it true, that the credit of every
Southern State has been destroyed?
IT rs NOT TRUE!
But it came very near being true
at one time. Who caused it?
Directly aft the war and during
reconstruction, horde of political |
barbarlans from the North came down |
here and while two thirds of our best |
citizens were disfranchised and the
ballot given the negro, they got con-
troll of every Southern State.
Debt after debt was piled upon us,
our POOR land was pillaged. The
stock was stolen and corrupt officers
in high authority let the offenders go
We had nothing left after these cor
mOrants had been dislodged but our
land and honor.
They took up their beds and walk
ed, some of whom left between the
suns.
The republicans are in extremis
this year, lest they fail to elect the
next President.
Protection is the cornerstone of
that party. 1t looks as if the South
ern Progress is simply a forerunner
playing political bunco.
The black list and boycott is the
last resort of viciousness, and the ia.
vorite weapons of criminal minds.
To all good people from the North
Or West who come here to live with
Is In PEACE, sharing our sorrows and
the, Times extends the
'lght hand of cordial welcome and
raternal fellowship. +
From al! who come here bloated
With vanity squirting their venom for
Idvlce, charging wholesale dishonesty
IN our people, We say good Lord
Ieliver us.-Southern Times, Norfolk.
