The much talked of libel case
against the Sampson County Popu-
lists, which came up for trial at Ke
Evansville, at the Duplin Superior
Court ended quite tanely, and was
no doubt, disappointing to the public
N Ut that the public was anxious for
the prosecution, but because the pub
lie was anxious for the facts which
would have been made public by
full investigation at the trial. This
prosecution was brought against the
Sampson County Populjsts for expo
sing the election methods iu the Au
gust election, through the columns
of THE CAUCASIAN, and of course,
write up of the fraud, force and in
timidation which characterized that
ele ction, was necessarily hbellous
AS it always takes strong and forci-
BILE language to expose crime, and
while this write up by the Sampson
County Populists, was in strong Ian
guage, yet al investigation would
have easily indicated them, for the
truth is always q valid defense and
ample justification. THE CAUCASIAN
regrets that the case came to such
an untimely ending.
Since the prosecution had chosen
to bring the suit, and had taken the
defendants with at least one hundre
and seventy-five witnesses to a coun-
ty where none of the parties or their
witnesses reside. and since all that
mass CT evidence as 10 election
frauds in North Carolina was on the
verge of being made public. We re.
peat that the CAUCASIAN as we'll as
all other lovers of truth and honesty
in North Carolina are somewhat dis
appointed that this notable case
should have closed before the evil
dence was given to the puolic. 1t
would have made interesting read
ing and served to enlighteu the
world on the ample methods of force
fraud and theft of ballots resorted
to by the Democratic machine in
North Carolina to carry the August
election. We are not surprised that
the prosecution plead for continu.
ance of the case when 1t came up fol-
trial, they were no doubt advised to
that course, and the fact that the
suit is now ended and finally dis.
posed Of. will no doubt give relief to
some of the beneficiarles Of that cleo.
