question but tbis Is act the place

The proposition is so ridiculous o?n
Its face as, to be somewhat pathetlc.j
The dun* of South Carcthici, lnd'_ 1|
the courts of the United States
, wouli not f<<r a moment "stomach"
such a repudiate:? of public ' rights
by a small group who apparently
holl. although elected by the people
that the people no U tiger have right
to Knew -what goes on within the
sacred portals X-f the Blaeksburg
oounofl chamber. , ..
With our boasted; constitution guar
aiitecung freedom unci) rights, with
tur democracy placing the government,
large ctr small, i'n the hands ol
the people, It 1st ama2lug to realize
that In tildes good dav such echoes i-f
n.iiilevol times can lie possible. Sure
ly the members of the Blaeksburg
council believe in rhe co???Ututtcn
of the United States. Surely the
members of that bedy realize that
it is to the pec pie they owe their
high office. Surely they cannot succeiafuUy
challenge the right of the
people to knifw of the operation of
- thtfir own affairs. ? ?
Blaeksburg people are Intelligent;
The m'rtaken idea of its council
members cannot be taken as representative
tcf the best thought of the
community, , , ...
And! certainly the members of the
council who voted! In favor of an ordinance
denying the right of the
people tto know what Is going on
must have acted without mature deliberation.

Perhaps by now they have realized
their mistake.?Shelby Star.
