Letter to Mr. Douglass.
The following letter was today mailed
to Mr. Douglass:
Raleigh, N. C, July 2. 1906.
Mr. W. C. Douglass, Raleigh, N. C.
Dear Sir: ,
-From a newspaper account of your
-' speech at Fuquay Springs last Satur
. day I notice that you objected to my
report Of your Garner speech and at
tacked The Raleigh Times for permit
ting me to serve in a reportorial capac
ity on that paper. In my eight years'
experience on Democratic newspapers
the only reputation I have made Is
for fairness and accuracy, and this
standard was not violated In my report
of your Garner effort.' I challenge you
to show a single instance wherein you
were misrepresented in that report. .
' Perhaps' you did hot make yourself
clear, .Mr. Douglass, on . one point In
your Garner, speech. , In ray report I
.said "Mr. Douglass is against whis
key, whether sold in a bar-foom" or a
dispensary, and he Is going to hit the
monster going and coming." Mr. Chas.
U. Harris, your opponent, in his reply
said that unlike you he was in favor
of letting the dispensary remain two
years longer; hence If I was mistaken,
in understanding that you intended to
wipe the dispensary out now, Mr. Har
ris and. others made the same mistake
as to your position. ' '
you object to a Republican holding
a position on' a Democratic newspaper.
My political opinions have never been
concealed. When I became or
ago a few days prior to the
election in S96, I was thor
oughly Imbued with the conviction that
the triumph of Mr. Bryan and free
silver would be an insufferable calam- .
ily: to our country, hence I supported j
. McKinley and aligned myself with the
Republican party. My political creed j Those who have subscribed for

It. Purnell was elevated to the bench At 10 o'clock any one can secure
I was appointed united states Jury season tickets at the regular price or
failed' to observe;' but I was kind and
charitable In ernltting some of the
things you did say. In thaf speech you
covertly attacked the state institutions
here. You told the people of Garner
that you demanded a rigid investlga-l
tion of every state Institution, . and
wanted to know "who ate at the tables,
who slept in' the beds and who rode
In the carriages." On top of this you
informed theGarner voters that t you,
had heard that an employee of an in
stitution told the head of that institu
tion that he' could save $500 in -a cer
tain matter. Tou said further that the
head of that Institution was reported
to have replied, "Save $500! no, spend
It. If we save money the legislature
will not increase our appropriation.''
You did not name the institution, Mr.
Douglass, so you left all the state; in
stitutions under the ban of your Insin
uation of dishonesty. I was kind
enough in my report of , your speech
to omit that portion of your remarks,
as did The News and Observer re
porter, because it was an attack on
your own party, and your friends did
not want it published,
I admire party fealty and loyalty
any man. But it hardly lies within
your province to auacK tne jjemoc'
racy of any newspaper or any indi
vidual, does It? In "fusion" days did
you not act as counsel and "coach'
for the successful Populist-Republican
candidate for solicitor (Mr. Seawell)
until he, was securely established In
his office? While Governor Russel
was In the executive office were you
not among his frequent counsellors,
and do not the stato auditor's books
show that the Russell administration
paldi you fees? Were you a Democrat
then? If you were a Democrat then
and sold your legal services to a Re
publican governor, are you the man to
denounce newspapers because forsooth
the politics of some reporter on the
paper happens to differ, from your pol
Itlcs?
Since you have seen fit to bring me
Into your Fuquay speech when I was
not present, I take this method of
replying to your attack.
I am, with personal regards.
Yours very truly,

For nearly three months Mr. Daniels
was kind enough to engage my ser
vices on his paper in .other capaci
ties. At another time my friend, Mr.
William Henry Bagley, brother-in-law
of Mr. Daniels and now business man
ager of The News and Observer, and
myself Jointly owned and published an
nfternoon paper here. At various times
I have served as correspondent at the
state capital for the leading Demo
cratic dallies in North .Carolina.
Mr. Douglass is the first man to at
tack my newspaper work on account
of my politics. I have never conceived
that any man can do honest, fair re
portorial work unless he eliminates the
personal equation from every subject
ho handles. That is the criterion on
every high-toned newspaper. I did not
suppose that my service on The News
and Observer and other papers was an
impeachment of the Democracy of the
editors and owners of those publica
tions. I never imagined that my
editor-in-chief would be held to account
A Dnnierons Runaway.
Mrs. Walter W. Fowler and three
children, one the child of Mr. A. A
Phillips, had a narrow escape yester
day while out driving on the Fayette
vllle road. The horse became fright
ened, ran away and pitched the occu
pants of the vehicle out. Mrs. Fowler,
with the baby In her arms, was thrown
fifteen feeet. Mrs. Fbwler .suffered
some bruises but was not otherwise
injured. Mrs. Emma Swindell was
passing and she brought Mrs. Fowler
and the children back to the city.
Todav at the noon hour Dr. Hamil
ton lectured in the auditorium on "Re
construction n North Carolina," at the
A. nnd M. Colleee. He has made a
thorough study from original sources
of this interesting period of the state's
history. - His thesis for his doctor's
degree at Columbia University was on
this subject. All who hav heard his
.scholarly lectures at the summer school
on American history have been proi-
ited. Kvery student of North Carolina
history should have heard his lecture
today.
Tonight at 9 p. ra. the Third Regiment
Band will give a concert. An admis
sion will be charged for this concert.
The proceeds will be for the benefit and
improvement of the band. This is the
finest military band in North Carolina.
No lover of stirring music can afford
to miss this concert.
Tuesday, July 3, at the noon hour,
Dr. Edward Mims of Trinity College
will lecture. Raleigh people know Dr.
Mims as an accomplished, scholarly
and entertaining speaker and a gen
tleman of rare literary gifts. At 9
p. m. or tne same aay ur. vv . v.
Poteat, president. of Wake Forost col
lege, will lecture. , He, too, is well
known to the teachers and to the Ra
leigh peop t as a scholar, a thinker
and an oratSr that ranks with the fore
most of the State.
Wednesday. July 4, at the noon hour,
Prof. Alexander Graham will join with
the teachers in celebrating the 4th of
July appropriately by talking to them
in his inimitable way on "New Light
on the Mecklenburg Declaration of In
dependence." Professor Graham prob
ably knows more aTjout this subject
and knows how to talk about it more
entertainingly than any other man In
North Carolina. The Colonial Dames
ought to be especially Interested In
Professor Graham's lecture, and will
be invited to attend in a body. 1
On the night of the 4th, at 9 o'ejack,
Dr. Redway will lecture. Dr. IVaWay

and an author. He has hn deliver
ing a series of most interesting, enter
taining and thoughtfuVlectures to the
students of the summer school on ge
ography. Those who have heard his
lectures will expect a rare treat on
Wednesday night, and those who have
not heard him will miss a rare treat
if they do not hear him at that time.
In style, he is unique and original.
Thursday, July 6, at the noon hour.
President Mofflt of Blon College will
address the teachers. President Mofflt
Is probably the youngest college presi
dent of the state. The ability that
he has displayed during his first year's
administration and his merited repu
tation as a bright man and a thought
ful student give assurance that he will
bring to the teachers and all others
who honor him with their presence an
inspiring message.
The remaining evenings of the week
will be filled by the concerts of the
department of music, under the direc
tion of Prof. Wade R. Brown, o full
announcement of which appear' else
where. .
The indications nre 'that the ummer
school will reacn us enmax in .merest,
profit, power and entertalnuent the
last week.
Notwithstanding the excessive heat
during tne past week, there has been
no. abatement of interest in the work
of the summer school, and no falling
off irt attendance on the various
classes. The desire for improvement,
the determination to utilize every op
portunity offered for improvement, the
application and the devotion to duty
manifested by the teachers attending
the North Carolina Summer School
this year has been unusual, Inspiring
and beautiful. '
' The members of the faculty, without
an exception, have manifested the true
spirit of the teacher by putting into
their, work knowledge, enthusiasm, ear
neatness, sympathy and energ$ They
have not spared themselves In mind,
heart or body. Many of them have
gladly given extra hours to teachers
desiring special work.
