PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH.

The News and Observer Of yesterday
published the editorial of The Times of
the day before making an apology for
and retraxit of statements in former
editorials regarding the railway rate
conference committee of the legislature
land admitting that the statements
therein contained were not true, but
failing 10 give the name of its inform
ant, and makes this comment Oh that
statement Of The Times:
This leaves the public as much in
the dark as ever. The specific and cir
IcumsJantlal statements published in

ly cOpi - arc admitted - pc false and
untrue, but the authors CI the false

tthem at the expense of tie honorable
gentlemen who have been uniustIy as
lSauted.
Now the people would have move

position on such questions if it would
"h"I A. pledCueS. 10 Snow
,that 1t does not we will call attention
TO circumstance of few days ago
IN which that paper failed to do what
1t criticises The Times for not doing.
THAT paper published through It's
Washington correspondent a yerv
serious charge against the Atlantic
Coast Line. The president of the
company wrote to the editor of that
paper a positive denial of the charges.
Two days later The News and observer
contained an editorial in which it
said the rumor came from q member
lof congress, but gave no name, at The
isame time admitting that the denial
of the president of the company could
not be doubted.
Does any one suppose that The News
and Observer would publish the name
lof that congressman? If asked to do
so it would claim the same rights
and privileges as does Lr. Simp ION.
Here was a serious charge against a
party Of honorable men. That paper
ladmits that it is untrue; still it does
not give the name of it's informant
Why does it not do so? Who wrote
