TOEDGERTON'S
QUESTIONNAIRE
Lillington, August 31, 1921,
Editor Harnett County News:
--... . ' '
In last week s issue of your paper
you announced that on the third
Sunday in September the Reverend
Sidney A. Edgerton would preach a
special sermon in the Baptist church
in Lillington upon some subject re
lating to county politics. The en
clQr correspondence may be of pub
lie iglpt in tnis connection.
I to be involved in the pub
lic prints with anyone, and especial
ly a minister ot the Gospel; but when
one's private and " official action is
made the subject of discussion from
behind the pulpit, a mere layman is
necessarily driven to the press for
defense.. When I mailed my reply to
Mr. Edgerton last Saturday, T ad
vised him that if I heard nothing to
t he contrary from him before today,
I would presume that it was still his
intention to pursue thi matter
through the pulpit, and that. I would
seek redress through the press. He
has now had my letter for several
days, but has indicated no desire to
change his course. Being denied ac
cess to the forum which he has cho
sen, I therefore turn to" the press,
and abide with confidence the judg
ment of the public.
Sincerely yours, " ,
CHAS. ROSS.

Mr. Chas. Ross, Lillington, N. C.
-Dear Sir: The writer is seeking
some light looking toward a 3ermon!
for the Lillington people -on "Public
Morals and Corrupt Politics" and
will greatly appreciate it if you will
answer and return enclosed sheet
questions. I am fully aware that
your reply will be a matter of simple
accommodation and that-you are not
rt'vuired as county attorney to ans
wer either official or private matters
for a private citizen when he atks,
not as a taxpayer but as a r.:inister
of the Gospel.
I :mi trusting, however, that you
arc one of those who believes with
me that a preacher should be inter
tsteu in every social alia political
activity and should be bold to speak
his convictions against sin whether
it strikes friend or foe when it is
done for the public good and to the
glory of God. Letters and replies
wiliHbe considered, not as confiden
tial, rut for public publication unless
there is some information you can
give which you specifically ask to be
held as confidential, in which case- it
will be sacredly held as such -
Thanking you cordially, I am, . -Yours
very truly,
SIDNEY A. EDGERTON.
.1. Regarding the Sanford-Dunn
State-maintained road, please give
your personal preference.
2. Your preference as to the pub
lic welfare and in;either case- (west
s'de Cape Fear river contra via Buies
Creek) why?
3. Your opinion "as to why Com
missioners reversed their recommendation?-
. ".
4. Do you. own property near or
adjacent either route and how much?
5. Were your property taxes for
1918, 1919 and 1920 paid by July
1st, 1921?
6. Do you have knowledge or sus
picions that intimidation or bribe of
any kind were offered any Commis
sioner in regard highway under con
sideration?. -
7. In your opinion how would this
route be located if left " to vote of
citizens of Harnett county?
Lillington, Aug. 26th, 1921.
Reverend Sidney A. Edgerton, Buies
Creek, N. C.
Dear Sir: Your letter bearing date
of the 23rd instant, but postmarked
at Buies Creek" at 3 p. m. today, has
just been received, and I hasten to
reply. - .
I quite agree, with you that the
fact that one is a-minister of the
Gospel in no way, limits his rights or
duties as a citizen; but I do not con
ceive that a minister speaks with any
more authority, upon political ques
tions by reason of his cloth. In fact
I have always thought that the Mas
ter s example, when his enemies
sought to involve him. in a political
controversy, by. simply admonishing
them to "render- unto Caesar the
things that are Caesar's," and then
went ahead with his spiritual in
struction I say, I hive ' always
thought that a pretty safe example
for a minister to forlow. x - - -It
is apparent, of course, to any
f from the nature of,your ques
iljf&s, that you are seeking to make
a personal attack upon me under the
pretense of "serving the glory of
God"; but in reality totry.to gain
some advantage for the political par
ty to which you. belong, and at the
same time attempt in some way to
influence the location of a public
highway for the advantage of the
coPiinunity in which you happen to
live and through your family and
church connection have a very vital
personal interest.
r Now as to the questions: First as
to the payment of my taxes, I beg to
say that like a good many other citi
zens I did not'have.the money to pay
my 1920 taxes as soon as I would
like to have done, but I sought no
special consideration for myself . on
this account. As to the 1918 and
1919 taxes, a -considerable part of
this was paid in cash, and the county
' and State received full benefit for the
whole. TheTbalance was assumed by
Sheriff Turlingtonrand involves some
: purely private and professional 'tran
sactions between us. This question
seemed so gratuitous that I thought
- best to dispose of it first, and then
, proceed with the road proposition,
which is evidently the meat in the
cocoanut. " '
First as to my t'personal prefer
ence." Since I am absolutely with
out any authority, in the matter, I
cannot, see that my personal prefer
ence is a subject for public discus
sion; but I don't mind saying to you,
just as I have said repeatedly, that
my hope and desire has been that
the permanent State highway would
be built via of Buies Creek, but that
until that road could be completed
I should like to see the present es
tablished route maintained. In so
far as I. have any private interest in
the proposition it is largely involved
h the welfare of the' town of Lilling
ton. The value of the undeveloped
property .near Lillington in which I
Lam interested, is very much more de
pendent upon the progress and pros
perity of this town than it is upon its
location with reference to a State
highway. I am convinced that the
opening up of the country east of the
Cape Fear riv,er by the building of a
State highway via of Buies Creek
would bring a great deal more busi
ness to this town, than anything that
could be added to the already very
hgood road we have on the west side
of the river.
Now as to the second question, the
effect upon the "public welfare." I
am glad to believe that my "personal
preference" coincides with the pub
lic welfare. A State highway must,
of course, be distinguished from a
neighborhood road, and there are in
terests, not only to this town and
community, but to( the county as a
whole that seem to be of the utmost
importance that we should during
the next two years have the best
possible highway through the coun
ty, and particularly between tne sec
tion of Dunn and Duke and the
counfyseat. Forty per cent of the
county's population are dependent
upon that route for communication
with the countyseat, and the estab
lishment of through lines of traffic
are becoming rapidly established. If
there is a spirit of cooperation be
tween the people of your section and
the county authorities, I am con
vinced that the construction of a
State highway via of Buies Creek
can be under way early in 1922. Forj
about" a year while this work is in
progress, maintenance would be im
practicable on " that road, and the
traffic would detour by the route on
the west side of the river. The
maintenance of the Duke bridge
alone represents an average cost to
the county of a thousand dollars a
year. Harnett pays her share of the
maintenance fund, and I would like
to see her get her full share. Surely
none of us should be dog-in-the-manger
enough to deny the .county
benefits, just because our particular
road can't get it. When the furor
raised by some of those who, Deme
trius like, are seeking to serve their
political ands or satisfy their petty
jealousies by an attempt to discredit
me I say when this false clamor
has subsided, I dare say that the
sober second thought of the people
will make them realize that what
they want is not a patched up and
circuitous router-but- a real State
highway that will provide for and
attract the great truck-trains that
"will be the future carriers of local
freight, bringing the advantages of
freight service to a section that has
been denied adequate railroad facili
ties. When this time comes, if I can
be of any service to them in the con
test 1 want to assure them that any
service that I can render is at their
command without fee or emolument
of any kind-; my only compensation
being the satisfaction that I will be
serving the best interest of the coun
ty in which I live.
Answering your third question I
beg to say that the County Commis
sioners have not reversed thefr rec
ommendation. - This statement has
been repeatedly circulated, but it is
utterly false. I understand that it
has also been stated that after the
meeting of the. Board of Commission
ers on July 11th at the time the reso
lution was passed asking the high
way commission to change the route
between Lillington and Dunn so as
to run via of Buies Creek, that Mr.
J. C. Byrd and myself went to the
office of the Commission in Raleigh
ana sought to interfere with the
adoption of that route. This is also
utterly false. I challenge any man
to secure from any member of the
State Highway Commission, or any
surveyor, employe, or agent thereof,
a statement to the " effect that any
member of the board of commission
ers or myself, or any representative
of either of us, either by correspond
ence or personal interview has
sought in any manner to delay, ob
struct or prevent the adoption of the
route via Buies Creek.
Now as to four, another of your
personal questions: Yes, I am inter
ested in several . hundred acres of
land lying on the west side of Cape
ear river ana adjacent to the town
of Lillington, but this land is at Dres
ent well supplied with a good gravel
roaa duiu by the township.
Passing to your sixth question of
alleged intimidation or bribery. The
nearest approach to intimidation that
I know of is the effort of a minister
of a great denomination to threaten
to prostitute his pulpit to arouse his
congregations for the purpose of
bringing political pressure to bear
upon county officials, and thus influ
ence their official conduct. As to the
intimation of bribery, most emphat-
: ii i .
ica.uy.no. i ao not Know . whether
by "commissioner" you mean State
Highway Commissioner or County
commissioner; Dut whichever vou
mean, I want to say that there isn't
a man on either board whose well
known character ought not to be a
sufficient defense against such a base
less insinuation. No man who is
wortn a homestead or has considera
uon ior nis own good name, will
dare stand out in the open and brine
such an accusation against "either or
tnese gentlemen.
As to settling the matterbv a vote
of the people of the county, we
should not lose sight of the fact that
it. is a State highway and not a coun
ty highway that we are discussing
I The pride that the people of the
county as a whole take in the splen
did school and Buies Creek, and the
good wishes that are entertained for
this school, by people of all denomi
nations, parties and sections in the
county, would make a ereat major
ity of our people earnestly hope that
the State engineers find, a feasible
route for the location of the high
way via of that school; but I should
think the survey would "be necessary
first before the matter could be in-
euiigenuy cecided by a vote.
i miua. x nave answered your
questions more fully than the spirit
they display Justifies. When I read
your letter I thought you were really
seeking information, and I turned
with interest "lo your questions; and
I confess my very deep disappoint
ment to find that it was not informa
tion you wanted, but material to
support a personal attack from be
hind a pulpit bombproof to .promote
a purely secular political end.
Shades of Roger -Williams! Who
would have thought that a minister
of that great denomination founded
upon the " doctrines of human free
dom, whose very cornerstone was
bathed in the' blood of martyrs to the
cause of separation of church and
blazed by the fathers as to seek to
state, should so far forsake the paths
use his pulpit for such a purpose!
A simple inspection of the ques
tions will show that their Inspiration
comes not from the cloister, but from
a certan well-known, if somewhat
discredited Republican politician,
whose method of combining a discus
sion of public questons with personal
nuendo is too well known in this
county to pass unrecognized. Your
letter has the soft and silken touch
of the clergy, but your questions dis
close the discordant notes of politi
cal jackal. It may indeed be . the
hand of Esau, bat It is the voice of
Jacob.
Yours very truly,
CHAS. ROSS.

WHAT DOES A NEWSPAPER .
OWE TO ITS READERS?
The relation of a newspaper to its
readers is one that at times is worth
thinking about. Is it purely a busi
ness relation in which the subscriber
pays so much per year for the paper
and the publisher contracts to give
in his news columns accounts of pink
teas and lemonade socials, or that
Mrs. Jones took dinner, with Mrs.
Brown, and Smith's baby has the
mumps? Or .does not the average
publisher expect to give more than is
Included in a normal business rela
tion? And doesn't the reader expect
more? If it was a pure business re
lation, a matter of dollars and cents,
the average publisher would charge
more per annum for a subscription.
Eliminating everything but news few
if any of the numerous publishers of
the country could supply the paper
at anything like the usual charge per
year. We fancy that the average
publisher likes to think of his read
ers as all comprising one big family
"having many things in common and
who feel that when they. receive the
paper each issue that they are get
ting more than the two -or three
cents that it costs them. We are
inclined to think that between the
average paper and its average reader
there is a relation that is beyond and
above a pure business relation. The
paper should give that which passes
as current news, to be sure, but over
and above this it must give a com-
munity service that cannot be meas
ured in dollars. It must stand for
the best that is In the community
It mus have courage to condemn, as
well as courage to commend. A pa
per to command respect cannot be
spineless. It mus thave a code and
abide by that code. If it is a real
paper its readers will respect it If
they do not always agree with it. A
paper's great asset is a list of read
ers who respect it. A town's great
est asset is a paper that its readers
respect. A paper must be honest.
and as far as humanly possible it
should be impartial. A paper that
does not have the confidence of its
readers is incapable as a community
spokesman. A, paper that is run for
revenue alone cannot long maintain
the respect of its readers. These are
some of the things that a paper owes
to its readers. Sometimes, stop and
think what you, as a reader, owe to
the paper, not in dollars but in
way that is bigger than dollars.
