The editor of the Charlotte Observer
and the Baptist convention have not yet
become straight on the question Of the
editorial There Is Danger Ahead"
There was a committee of three ministers
appointed TO wait on Mr. Caldwell. the
editor, and they made an oral report
TO the convention, stating that they
were received graciously by him, but
they saw by the paper that day that
ne had failed TO correct misstatements,
and had also misrepresented the COM
mittee Mr.. Caldwell says editorially that
such accusations should be accompanied
by specifications. He says there were no
witnesses to the conversation between
the three gentlemen composing the COM
mittee and himself. Therefore. he says
II he had never been careful OF his
statements before In his life, he would
under these circumstances. have been
exact as to his facts, through fear OF
being convicted In the unimpeac sable
testimony OF three ministers of the
Gospel of being a falsher."
