TOUGH ON NEWSPAPERS.

We were surprised to note in
the Asheyille Citizen d severe ex-
eoliation of the Raleigh papers
about their account of the state
fair, Some of the expressions
used should. itappears to us, have
been left out or else accompanied
with sworn afiidavits. For ms
tance, read the following sent
ance: 49,.
"One of the most astonishing
things about the state fair to those
of Us who don't get to take it in,
is the story printed in the Citizen
to the effect that the Raleigh
newspapers required 'greasipg'
from the exhibitors before they
would write up the exhibits, Lo
matter how extensive OF how ex-
cellent."
Farther on the citizen says:
"From the recital about charges
during fair week it would seem,
too, that the Raleigh people tale
advantage of this one chance a
year to perform the swine act.''
We do not assume to be the
champion of Raleigh papers or
Raleigh people, and since the
election there Tuesday could not
be induced to undertake the job,
but We submit the above criticism,
to say the least, was illadvised,
indecorous, and unprofessional.
But there is yet II tougher in-
situation in the article alluded to
an iltimation of attempted
black mail. The Citizen says, in
explaining why the Biltmore and
other exhibits were not written
p; "The Biltmore people wouldn't
be bled, so the notice went unwrit,
ten." Pretty broad that last.
