CONFESSIONS OF A
NEWSPAPER EDITOR/
Or why I think Rev. Andrew
Yeuag b a Graat American
It bothers me that I have to
say anything out loud. Hard
ly anyone can read between
the lines anymore. The mu
ted. understated, view, most
times, is not perceived as it
was intended.
But. unlike a statement to
the contrary by a local politi
cian, Andrew Young is a great
American.
I went to see him last
Friday night in Fayetteville
and Young inspired me anew
as he has done for many years
now.
I first heard of him years
ago as a done and valued
adtlsttr and associate of Rev.
Martin Luther King. And. as I
see it, Martin Luther King
was a great American too. As
matter of fact, I truly admired
the man and the movement
non violence- that he espous
ed. I followed him avidly,
even to the moment he was
shot down on that Memphis
halconv.
I remember it clearly. 1 was
in prison with mostly Black
prisoners. And, at the time, 1
was too cocky and concerned
With my image to let it show
even though I was as hurt and
embittered as they were.
And Andrew Young was by
King's side, even in Mem
phis. And in Selma and
Montgomery. Alabama and
wherever men walked and
worked against the evil- doers
in our midst.
We need more Americans
like Andrew Young who are
unafraid to take a chance and
say things outloud that need
saying. So, as I see it. Rev.
Andrew Young, now the
Honorable Mayor of Atlanta.
Georgia, is a GREAT
AMERICAN! It is interesting
that America was not involved
in War, nor was the volatile
situation in Lebanon allowed
to disintergate as it recently
did while he was Ambassador I
to the United Nations.
WHO AM I SUPPORTING
FOR CONGRESS
I'm not an Andrew Young,
no way. He's big spiritually
and has a broad view of
things. Sometimes I get down
hearted and get mad at ifiy
opponents. And sometimes
my provincial notions hold me
back from realising my poten
tial as a Human Being. But I
do get the same kind of
criticism. A lot of people are
going about the county saying
I am support wg Ed Johnson
for Congress, having turned
my back on Charlie Rose.
Ahem. J
And where did that notion
come from? I agreed to co
sponsor a trip to this area-by
A. David Lester, the director
af.ihe Native American Pro
grams in Washington. D.C.
Thai's all. and. wed. yea. I
have allowed Ed Johnson and
his supporters to express
themselves in the Carolina
Ipdian Voice And I have
Johnson too. And I am
grateful far h. Advertising!

press following his speech

lie Reee [D.-NCJ
Unlike my use sal bcllige
rent self at a presa conferen
ce, I blurted out, "Mayor
Young, I want to any that I
think you are a GREAT
AMERICAN! (Bruce 'Barton ,

Well, A. David Lester,
according to Johnson's cam
paign staff, wili be in the area
today, touring LRDA in the
afternoon and, tonight, parti
cipating in the a town hall
meeting in PSU's Moore Hall
at 7:30 p.m.
I like to communicate with
people period. A letter to the
editor and/ or an honest
conversation is better than the
negative feedback of a shot
gun blast. Johnson and I talk,
always have. And I like the
man although I reserve the
right to agree or disagree or
disagree with him as I see fit.
What about Charlie Rose? I
believe he has been a good
congressman. And I count
him as my friend. Always
have.
But we ought to always
hear both sides of an issue ,\
and we ought to have a
dialogue with all candidates.
We should never allow politi
cians to take us for granted,
no matter how much we like
them.
Who am 1 supporting for
Congressman from this dis
trict? If you haven't figured it
out by now I believe I'll leave
the issue in suspense. But I do
promise to vote for who I want
to. And I hope you will too.
AND ABOUT THOSE ED
JOHNSON ADS IN LAST
WEEK'S ISSUE
Ed Johnson ran three ads
in the Carolina Indian Voice
last week. And he paid for
them too. Anyway, my staff
inadvertantly forgot to put
Johnson's campaign organi
zation's name at the bottom of
the ads noting that they were,
pure and simple, political ads.
They were Johnson's pos
tures. not necessarily those of
the Carolina Indian Voice. In
spite of the paranoia now
sweeping the county that's all
there was to it. No ulterior
motive, no unstated posture...
We simply forgot to note who
paid for the ads. Honestly!

W ARRIORS ROMP OVER PENDER COUNTY
39-21
4
. After P9?r performance^
against Clinton and West|
Columbus, speedster Lee
McRae rushed for 213 yards
and two touchdowns to lead
the Pembroke Warriors to a
39-21 victory over Three Riv
ers 3-A conference Pender
County in the annual home ?
coming game last Friday U
night. U
Equally effective in the C
Warriors' most productive ft
game offensively of the sea- ft
son were quarterback Devy 1
Bell who passed for 139 yards w
and three touchdowns and &
end Steve Jacobs who caught ^
six passes for 78 yards and C
two touchdowns.
The flow of the game was ft
much like Pembroke's last ft
home game (August 27 ag
against South Robeson) when U
the first half was quite C
different from the second ft
half. In Friday's game, the ft
Pembroke fans had little to be ft
cheerful for at the end of the ft
first half as Pender led 21-19. ft
The Warriors started fast. &
capitalizing on a fumble on G
the opening kickoff and mar- ft
ching 23 yards for the game's 91
first score with only 2:25 MB
seconds gone in the quarter, ft
However, the Patriots were jQ
able to stay with the Warriors 0
as they scored on passes from ft
Rodney Jones to Bernard ft
Henry of 28 yards and 3b ft
yards. This passing duo prov- ft
ed a thorn in Pembroke's side ft
throughout the half as they G
combined for 110 yards. O
When Tony Logan scored ft
from eight yards out with 53 ft
seconds left in the second ? MB
quarter, the fans in the ft
stadium looked more than IJ
ready for the halftime activi- " D
tics. Q
The second half proved to I
be all Pembroke, however, as p
McRae started the Warriors ?
off much as he did against
South Robeson, in that game. L
he began the second half with n
a <>5 yard touchdown run. ft
Against Pnder he scampered Pj
80 yards on the first play from ?
srimmage to put the Warriors ^
ahead for good as Pembroke jjw
scored on three of their five G
offensive possessions. The ft
final two scores came on ft|
i passes from Bell to Jacobs M
and James Bird. ft*
In the meantime, the War- .ftj
rior defense was putting a halt O
to the Patriot passing game* H
I which had hurl ihem so much ftj
I in the first half After1 allow ing-W
* 144 cards and two touchHC
* W"
s
Adpwns early, the Pembroke
?defense 6eld Jones to only 30 '
yards in the second half while
forcing two turnovers.
The turning point in the
game may have come on
Pender's first offensive pos
session of the second half
following McRae's long run.
' During this drive the Pa
triots moved steadily down
field from their own 32 yard
line on 14 plays to the Warrior
eleven. Then on a fourth and
one. the Pembroke defense
stopped Jones on a quarter
back keeper turning the ball
over to the Warriors.
From this point the Patriots
could manage no sustained
drive of more than five plays
as the defense of the Warriors
proved to be too much for
them.
The win brings Pembroke's
record to 4-2-1 overall and 1-2
in the conference. Wins in the
two remaining games could
provide the Warriors with
their first ever play-off berth
in football, although some
help is needed from other
teams. Both East .Bladen
(whom the Warriors play
ne*t)> and West Columbus
must lose twice to assure the
Warriors of this plav-off ber
