"The Caucasian devOtes its whole
paper this week to helping circulate
the ISLANDERS of the Morning Post.
The negro and other Radical papers
are doing likewise. "Birds of a
feather" -Friday's News and OBJ
server.
Never touched me. The CAUCA-
SIAN did not copy anything from
the Morning Post last week. The
only article we copied from demo-
cratic paper was from the News and
Observer and we beat him at his
own game. AS to being similar
to the negro organs we deny the
charge. The only negro political
paper we know Of in the State is a
DEMOCRATIC paper published at
Asheville, and it is a mongrel-a
white editor and a negro editor.
AS to the birds of feather "
that does not apply to us at all.
"Birds of a feather" flock to More
head City in the summer time to
get free board at the Atlantic Hotel
at the expense of the State and
private stockholders. The writer

main in that exalted position long,

We also look for some remarkable
disclosures if all the facts are given
to the public after the investigation
is made. But if the public is to be
given all the facts brought out in
this investigation why have all the
meetings of the committee been
held behind closed doors, and why
is it that the Governor is to proof
read the committees report before
it can be given out to the press.
There may mot be any whitewash-
ing done, but from present indica-
tions things certainly point that
way.
The stirring up Of the democratic
management of this road has Great
ed an awful smell and seems that
the odor has permeated the whole

Charlotte Observer will show:
"The whole business is rank; it
smells to heaven. It is seen already
that this receivership is the best
thing that could have happened, for
it has resulted in the disclosure of a
scandalOus state Of affairs, and pub
lie opinion will enforce a reforma-
tion if this road is to continue in

forbid!"

in one statement-they think the

everything possible to rectify her error. The
fact that these Chinese. before talking even TO
