FRANK Haywood AGAIN.
Some Things the Newspapers are Saying
ABOUT Him and his Southern Progress.
Ihe Carolina Dispatch says Frank A.
dey"ood Is a hater OF the South, and
IS doing nothing more than trying to
rundown the South, etc.
ire Southern Times, Norfolk. Va.
atfoot Of the Haywood resolutions pass
ed by our city council, says: I'VE print
the above resolutions with pleasure. and
at the same time assure our friends in
Edenton, N. c., that we will ALWAYS de-
tend the integrity of our people from
the wild assaults of all men, especially
STRANGERS. Mr.. Haywood has done
himself great harm. People like he
never bring any money to circulate in
south. They generally come here to
make 1t. Lookout for sharpers, a
sarlated Bunco.
Perquimans Record: "Having since
learned more of Mr.. Frank A. Hev-
wood and his antecedents, we are sorry
to believe that he is suffering from a
disease of the mind near akin to clepto-
mania, but more degrading, wiz q
moral incompetency to tell the truth,
and therefore we must, most respect
fully decline to handy words with
olackguard Or degrade our calling by
accompanying with gutter Snipe, (a
olrd that fattens on filth. One word
before we part. Such characters as Mr.
Frank A. Haywood, from their we'll
known propensity to prevaricate. are
the most harmless creatures in the
world. No one believes them. Good
bye.
norfolk Chat says: Chat has been
henored by being placed at the head of
the black list in the current issue Of that
blot on Southern journalism, Southern
Progress. This, because Chat honestly
and vallantly espoused the honor and
far fame of the citizens of our NEIGH
boring State OF North Carolina. whom
as class, the editor Of the Southern
Progress vilcly trsduced. To intrude
personal grievances into q public print
and make use of the columns Of q nsws
paper to vent ill-disguised, venomous
and rancercus feeling for real or fan
cied wrong is not journalism. It is
olackguardism, which degrades the |
honored calling and deserves the sever
est censure Of the press throughout the
South. Chat has no quarrel with the
southern Progress, nor do we desire or
feel equal to the task of entering into
any discussion which may still further
invoke the vituperative literary ability
of it's editor upon cur poor inoffensive
little patent inside"
The New Berne Journal. Commenting
upon the second number of Southern
Progress, says:
1t has very little to say about the rea-
son given why the council of Edenton
refused to pay Mr.. Heywoeds bill. be-
yond the bare assertion that they are
misrepresentation but Mr.. Haywood

sonal abuse Of the mem Der of the cour"
