Mr. F. H. Whitaker, Chairman indie

bOrO, n. C.:
Dear Sir: | have the honor to ac-
knowledge your letter of the first in
slant. think the State has reason
to be congratulated upon the spirit
of independence in political thinking
and acting, which seems to benow SO
general with the people. 1t means
criticism and analysis, both of public
men and public measures. The truth
has never yet been hurt by criticism,
Just or unjust, and it is the truth
about both men and measures that
the electorate of the State should
at all times be well informed. The
negro issue has created in the past
an intellectual thralldom, which pre-
vented the independent exercise Of
our intelligence The constitutional
amendment marks at era of change.

yet an examination of these do not
disclose that TACT, but show that n
majority OF them have happened to
be a favor Of such enterprises. II
has been fashionable for some years
in certain circles by inuendoes TO
question his fidelity to public duty.

quite superserviceable in their devo-
