BUTLER THREATENS NEWS
AND OBSERVER AND EDITOR
Announces Will Bring Criminal
and Civil Actions Against
Both For Libel
NO RETRACTION, NO
APOLOGY," REPLY
Threat of Marion Butler I Be
cause of Publication in News
and Observer of Letter of
Judge II. G. Ewart In Which
He Denounced His Fellow
Republican
Two notices were received at
this office yesterday, both com
ing from Goldsboro by register
ed mail, one to the News and
Observer Publishing Company,
the other to Edward E. Britton.
the editor of the News and Ob
server. The language of each
is the same, and reads:
NOTK K.
Take not ire, that the undersigned in
teuda to liriujc criminal action and also
a eivil action against vou for damages
for the libel upon him f.y you hr rr
aon of your publication, id the edition
of Punday morning. Mreh lt, liflH. of
the daily Nfi ami Observer, of the
following article:
"Said arti.le a ..ppears on page two,
rolunina one, two ami thrcr if suid edi
tion and is entitled -
: "Judge H. ii. Ewart Deaonnrea Batler.""
"There are numerous statements in
mid article which are nitlmut four. la
!ion and ure false, but the following
rtatemitita in said Mi. le are false and
defamatory, to fit :
"In the Asbeille Citizen of the
Wth iost. aptiears an interview with
1 one Marion Holler, who so rue years
) ago misrepresented this State in
the I'nited Mates Senate"
"It needs nn answer in this State
for the people of the rMaie. with
nil regard te party, kaoss hi as to
I liar, ingraft ad inave.
"Self respecting Hcpuhlicana will
be slow to support any policy, or
party in any manner influenced by
the arch traitor, Maru.u Butler"
"This the 10th day of Mar. h. lWii
MARION H1T1.KK.
Ily W 6 (I'll R. it, in-. ii. Attorney"
A Formality For Retraction.
The foregoing is a formality
provided by statute, giving a
newspaper or an individual
charged with the uttering of a
libel 10 days notice before en
tering suit for damages, in
which it may publish "a full
and fair correction, apology
and retraction," and thus
escape a judgment for any
damages other than actual
damages.
"No" Is The Answer.
The News and Observer and
its editor have no correction to
make in Judge H. G. Ewart's
statement with regard to his
fellow Republican. Nor hae
the News and Observer and its
editor any intention of offering
either retraction or apology to
Marion Butler.
