Two Neutral North Carolina Newspapers Speak For The
People Regarding The Cancellation Of A Court Term!
The following editorials, BOTH OF THEM WRITTEN ON THE SAME
DATE, were published by two different North Carolina newspapers, neither of
which have any interest in Robeson County's Court Terms.
. THEY PRESENT THE HUMAN SIDE OF THE ISSUE.
THEY SPEAK FOR THE RANK AND FILE CITIZEN
From
GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS
May 7, 1948
OTHERS BESIDES LAWYERS INVOLVED
No disposition has the Daily News to barge into the
argument over cancellaiton of the May Term of Robeson
Pounty Superior Court down in the seventh congressional
district where at least one of the candidates for the seat to
be left vacant by Representative Bayard Clark is essaying
to make it a political cause celebre. But there does seem
to be an element of general public interest and account
ability in the incident. s
Robert Young of Harnett County has charged that the
term was cancelled in order that Solicitor Ertel Carlyle,
his Robeson County opponent for the congressional nomina
tion, might give his full time to campaigning doww the
home-stretch. While Mr. Carlyle dismissed the allegation
as "political propaganda," friends assert that the term was
palled off because of heavy farm duties in Robeson at this
season of the year. They point out that because of the late
Winter planting season in Robeson, a predominantly agri
cultural .county, falls just at the May term of court and
that farmers should not be interrupted at this time. Offi
cially the term was cancelled by Governor Cherry at the
unanimous request of the Robeson County Bar Association.
Without going into the merits of the argument or be
coming a party to any of the political implications, the
Daily News does think that this matter of cancelling terms
of court, especially if and when a docket awaits disposal
and defendants may be lounging in jail awaiting determi
nation of their guilt or innocence, should be approached
advisedly and dealt with gingerly. Fairness, the expedition
of justice and the public interest should be determining
factors. It seems to us that court business, schedules, pro
cedures, et cetera, are left too largely to lawyers, their
wishes, recommendations and conveniences to subordination
of the general public and its consideration as such. After
all the courts are essentially public business in which plain
tiffs, defendants, witnesses, jurors and other lay folk have
a transcending stake.
Consideration of the Robeson County bar for farmfolks
of the community is duly appreciated. But wouldn't it have
been better if farm organizations, say, Grange, Farm Bu
reau, county agent, board of agriculture or what have you
had taken the initiative in asking for or at least concurred
in such a cancellation? What we are talking about now is
not the seventh district congressional contest but the man
ner in which lawyers run a branch of the government
which the general public established, pays for and patro
From
THE DUNN DISPATCH
May 7, 1948
MR. CARLYLE IS SOLELY
RESPONSIBLE FOR ISSUE
The issue of whether or not a criminal court term in
Robeson was cancelled for the political convenience of
Hon. F. Ertel Carlyle, the candidate for Congress, is still
going back and forth.
J. Robert Young of Dunn, another candidate for the
office, has charged that the term was. cancelled in order
to give Solicitor Carlyle an additional two weeks in which
J.o compaign.
Politicians of Robeson?including the court officials?
are taking off the two weeks from court to ride around
in a motorcade urging citizens of the district to vote' for
the Robeson candidate.
The Dispatch is not concerned with the issue?who had
the term cancelled or why. Whether Mr. Carlyle was per
sonally responsible or not, we are inclined to feel sure his
Robeson friends had the term cancelled for that specific
purpose.
Our observation is that, if Mr. Carlyle had resigned as
solicitor to run for Congress?as he should have done??
this issue would never have arisen and he and his support
ers would not be so hard-pushed to find an explanation.
Mr. Young set an example by resigning from his office
as city judge to run for the office. It seems that Mr.
Carlyle could have done the same.
It certainly appears that if Mr. Carlyle had any hopes
of getting elected to Congress that he would not insist on
hanging on to a job that pays less than half the salary of
the high office which he is seeking.
. His resignation would have also given other lawyers
of the solicitorial district the opportunity they deserve to
run for his job in the forthcoming primary.
"It is grossly unfair,"- pointed out Mr. Young, "for an
official to hold on to a job and campaign on public money
and public time while seeking another office that pays
piore money."
With that statement, The Dispatch will agree. We
have absolutely no patience with those candidates who
insist that the taxpayers finance their political campaigns.
Friends of Mr. Carlyle deeply regret that he has
brought this issue upon himself. As a solicitor, as an at
torney and as a citizen, Mr. Carlyle has a fine record and
is held in the highest esteem. But to allow such an issue to
creep into the campaign isn't helping him get elected to
Congress.
Mr. Carlyle should resign; furthermore, he should re
imburse the State for the salary he has drawn while devot
ing hi3 time to campaigning. Then, he can campaign at
ease.
