LAKE CITY, s. Gully 15.- Last week
l again failed to get the CAUCASIAN.
l don't like to miss copy. Our
mail comes through the hands of q
lot of Cleveland's ebony hued postal
clerks who hate US worse than satan
hates holy water.
l learn that that "Eagle-eyed"
sheet, the .Goldsboro Argus, has gone
into the hands of a receiver. l
think it would be good idea for
our friend Joe to 90 before Judge
Golf, of injunction fame, and get out
a bill of that kind against our
"Maryann" for making such inroads
into his territory and converting
nearly all:of his patrons into thorough
going Populists. There should at
once be some means adopted by
which Populist could not be per-
mitted to bust a Democrat without
said Democrats consent. Long may
you live and contiue to "Trip EN- up

Wake up, And Tell Where You Stand.
For the Caucasian.
GREENv1LLE, N. c., July 14.-Wlll
you please do us the kindness to
wake up the News and Observer
AS soon as it gets awake, gets its
eyes open good, and gets in its right
mind CD, ask it, where do you
stand on the money question:"
Sometimes we think it is for free sill
yer, then again we do not know. We
know where the CAUCASIAN stands,
and we want to say right here that
we are "agin" it, but still we want
to see every man or paper have an
| honest opinion on every subject of
interest to the people, and speak out
that opinion and stand by it, right
or wrong. We had rather see man
with wrong opinions than with none
Our people seem to be constitu-
tionally opposed to giving to the
public honest opinions on any sub
ject. May God give US more of thai
spirit so beautifully expressed inIsong
| "Dare to be Daniel
Dare to stand alone,
Dare to have purpose true.
And dare to make. it known"
We say dare to have an opinion O
your own, and to express it.
Tell the News and Observer t.
take one side or the other, ''hot O.
cold" and that if it continues to b.
"luke-warm," we will "spew it out
of our community.
