The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1905-03-26
BY CICERO w. HARRIS.

/ want to say something of the
newspaper editors of North Carolina
of the period between 1868 and 1885.
Those were the years i'm which I did
the bulk of my work on the State
press. 1t is unnecessary to try to be
formal and arrange the names in any
particular order for reminiscential
matters of this kind loses by formality,
and injustice is often done by such
classifications. Therefore, let me write
with a free hand, showing no especial
fayors and attempting no close analy-
sis of abilities or appraisement of
services.
At Raleigh, where it is natural to
begin, during this period of sixteen
years, there was coterie of men of
talent and enterprise, some of whom
won high distinction. The Raleigh
political daily, going to all parts of
the State, enjoyed an advantage which
for a long while gave the writer's on
the capital papers more reputation
than "spondulacs." The local adver-
Using was small in amount and paid
low rates compared with the advertis-

ing of larger places. Besides, the
local and vicinage circulation was not
extensive. Notwithstanding these
drawbacks, however, there was glory
to be won by the Raleigh editor, if not
by the Raleigh publishers, and he
won and enjoyed it. l should neces-
sarily (and | do it cheerfully), accord
the very first place of honor to Josiah
Turner. the fearless chief of the Sem
tinel, and one of North Carolina's
foremost public men. His long service
at the bar, his acquaintance with poll
tics and knowledge of his public, fitted
him in a singular manner for leader
ship of the press at that peculiar
epoch. North Carolina and the South
were just coming out of the agonies
of defeat in the civil war, and endur-
ing the agOnieS of reconstruction.
There was a fawness of public feeling,
an insufficieney of public means, and
the people were really impoverished.
But the people of North Carolina,
never long depressed and never
ashamed, for their conduct had always
been exemplary compared with some
other communicable people of
North Carolina were ripe for action
under the right leader. and for while
Turner was that leader. He has been
called q demagogue. Once l may have
thought he had qualities of the arch
him gross injustice. Beyond doubt
he meant well. He loved to attack
He was the representation of Storm.
His spirit was highest when the po
litical elements ragged iiercely. Then
his face wore an aspect of calmness
except that the eagle eye flashed out
a dangerous fire. Mr.. Turner used to
go to the county courts III various
counties. / remember he would regu-
lary attend those held in Granville,
where l then lived and that he regis
tered at DR.. Sam Williams hotel in
Oxford i'm q firm, bold hand. People
fiocked around him, and scores of
them subscribed to the Raleigh Sem
tinel, inspired by his devotion to
popular rights and the nervous, plain
common sense of his utterances. His
style was his own. 1t will never be
initiated closely. His homely phrases,
his curt and terrific criticisms, are
cherished by old-timers as a choice
part of our newspaper annals. Hit
him in the stomach with a pone of
bread; 1.-THE General fell down at
u.s., etc, etc. These were racy and
characteristic. There was in their use
no affectation or oStentation. The
public gradually came to know that
these editorials were corrected. put
into better shape, but not materially
altered by one who was in entire SYM
pathy with the political views of his
chief but who had what that chief
lacked, a polished style and broad
reading. l think DR.. Kingsbury made
as few changes as possible. and only
obvious and glazing faults We're
eliminated
Mr.. Turner's associate in editorial
labors supplied all that he himself was
deficient in. Theodore Bryant Kings
bury. of Oxford, long connected with
the press of the Old North State, has
the widest acquaintance with elegant
literature, combined with adequate
learning of the graver sort, of any
man who ever filled a chair in a

badly the remark is true, strictly

establishment of the Raleigh News is
due to him as publisher.
Elsewhere in the West the striking
ly good writer's, so far as / recall
them or am able to estimate their ca
liabilities, were Randolph Shotwell, OF
Rutherfordton; Willoughby f. Avery,
and Joseph p. Caldwell, of Charlotte;
DR.. George Walter Sites, of Salem,
one or both Of the Peppers, of Dam
bury; John r. Webster, of Reidsville,
at a later date than some of the 9TH
ers mentioned; =. Fl. r. Duffy, of
Greensboro; Rev. John l.. MichauX, of
the same city; and Stewart, of Sails
bury. Some of these / cannot pass
over with merely a word of characteri-
cation. Avery, Shotwell and Sites
We're cut off too early for the good of
the State; the last named | believe
however was a middle-aged man. the
first two We're young men. DR.. Sites
had been trained in Richmond on one
of the daily papers, and his style was
greatly above the average. He was a
man of culture, sense and observation.
Avery had fine newspaper gifts; he
steadily rose in popular favor. Shot
we'll was as brave q man as ever lived.
Duffy was, like Stone, eminently prac
teal. He afterward did most excel
lent work on the Wilmington Star.

curing to Mr.. Caldwell.
There was a class of incisive edi-
tors in the State, most of whom, /

bright and interesting it deserved to
live longer.
Later came the Observer with two
captains, Hale and Saunders. The
first named had won his journalistic
spurs on the upper and the latter on
the lower Cape Fear. Major Hale was
the all-round newspaper man, up in
the technique-as we'll qualified for
the blue pencil as the Faber or the
goose quill. He could sit up all night
and then, after breakfast. be in the Of
flee fresh for another fray with the
difficulties of the printing Office.
Saunders was the politician and po-
litical writer but he was great in
those fields, none better in his time,
although he came late into newspaper
life. Colonel Saunders was noted for
his virility of style which, however,
had a measure of elegance. He was
a careful writer His English, Some-
times massive, was thoroughly good.
There were few blemishes. During a
part of my connection with the VIII
mington press Colonel Saunders was
associated on the fine old Journal with
his brother-in-law, Major Engelhard.
Perhaps there was never in North
Carolina an ADLER writer of political
leaders than William L. Saunders.
Captain Samuel A Ashe merged the
News and the Observer, and edited
the new morning paper with signal
ability. He conducted the editorial
department with conscientiousness
force, discrimination, taste, tact ana
industry. Occasional articles showed
his scholarship.
But | have left a small range only
for the State at large-for Wilmington,
Charlotte and smaller towns, having
devoted more space than / intended
to Raleigh. Other capable Raleigh
editors | am obliged to omit, including
the present fearless chief of The News
and Observer very remarkable man
who entered the lists about the close
of the period
AT Asheville, in charge of the Citi-
zen, there were three men, all of
whom had achieved reputation else
where as writer's and publishers.
Robert NJ. Furman began his career
as a STRIPPING on the Louisburg Eagle
which he transplanted to Henderson,
and renamed the Index. I succeeded
him there. From Henderson Mr..
Furman went first to Portsmouth,
thence to Ridgeway. He died recent
ly, much lamented. Furman had turn
for public life and served the State
acceptably. as his contemporary. Col
onel Saunders. had done. He wrote
best on politics. Major John d.
Cameron, besides his work on the Ctti-
zen, had edited with fine ability the
Raleigh News and other journals. His
style was flowing, graceful, elegant at
times, and he had a competent knowl-
edge of affairs. l place him among
the ablest writer's of the period named.
His associate. Jordan Stone, was a ca
pable newspaper man who knew
something of every part of the print
ing business. A practical printer of
ability he was also an active. vigorous.
popular business man. AS editor of
the Weldon News he was a pronounced
success, and much of the credit of the
