Gentlemen : ;
Two weeks tiso the HiBhlander. in a
doublo column front pane editorial in
regard to the uufortunate incident near
Cusiir in which a ludy in an automobile
was desperately wounded by ahots al
leged to have been fired by prohibition
agents, mado h vicious assault upon the
oflicers and the rights of the government
to search automobiles, and in which De-
Priest went out of his way to make on
unjustified attack on me and falsely
stated niy position in regard to searches
and seizures.
I replied to DePriest, and osked hiin
to publish my reply. -rio for he has not
done so, and I do not believe he will pub
lish it. I handed Mr. O. M. Mull a copy
of my reply and asked him to hand it to
you and I am unking if you will kindly
publish samo to the end that the people
of Cleveland county may know the truth
of my .attitude on the subject.

Vicious Article.
Lincolnton, Sept
Mr. B. II. DePriest,
Editor The Highlander, Shelby, N. C.
Dear ir:
I am a regular reader of your paper.
One week ago today your paper carried
on your front pnge a double column edl
about the strongest encouragement to the
lawless element that I remember ever to
have seen published in North Carolina.
I have read that editorial several times
tong to square, its sentiments with the
utterances of a man entrusted with exalt
ed and responsible position of an editor
of a North Carolina newspaper. But the
more I read it the more I am astounded
torial entithvl "Bearching Without Wnrv
rants and Bhooting up tho Law" that isualked the kind of 'red" stnff privately
t its yiciousness, its Irresponsibility, its
mendacity, and the evil effect it is bound
to produce among the gnorant mid law
less element.
' Along with all other good citizens I
have the deepest sympathy for Mrs. Mil
ler who was wounded ni the tragic occur
rence near Casar in which both Federal
and county officers are involved, but
neither 1 nor any other good eitixen
should pans judgment on the merits of
the ease until the evidence of both sides
shall have been heard in court. Much
less does it become a neditor of a new spa
per to try the ease m its columns while
the matter is pending in the courts of
justice. . .
Mr. Editor," you make the broad state
ment that "the officers unlawfully
searched, an automobile . and
finding jo1' liuftrfiipeanii stt indignant
at being thus frustrated that they shot
up the car as it pulled out, and seriously
if not fatally wounded one of thfl
ladies.' If the sworn evidence should
develop the fact that no search of the
automobile ws in fact made and the
further fact that there were several jars
of whiskey in the car, it would be too
late then for you to undo the Injustice
you have dune ,or to overtake and , cor
rect the evil impression you have inndo.
How a man of your experience and posi
tion could ever so far forget hi nisei If as
to give way publicly to his evil passion
as you have dope iu this instance I can
not understand. v
Good Citizens' Doa't Talk Lynching.
You are very much mistaken when
you state that "good citizens seriously
talked of lynching the officers." Good
citizens do not lynch people in this coun
try, nor de they talk about it. If yon
that you smeared on your editorial pae
it may have aroused the lynching apirit
in a few of the ignorant and irresponsi
ble, but whether they know it or not they
are not good citizens, and I am of the
opinion their ' number was very small.
Like your good self they doubtless made,
a noise eut of all proportion to their
importance. Instead of , "ninety-nino
county," I dure nay that ninety-nine
per eent of your good people were shock
ed and grieved, at the occurrence -but
wer fsiir and reasonable enorrgh to await
the evidence from both sides in the case
before passing judgment on its merit's.
To Miy otherwise would be to slander the
peoplo of your good county, a great ma
jority of whom I know to be law. abid
ing .intelligent, aud fair-minded. '
Bootleggers Rejoice.
For the purpose of arousing prejudice
against officers of the InW, you relate in
stances whore officers assanltod men
either under arrest or whom they were
trying to arrest. 1 know nothing of the
facts in either case and one would read
your paper n long time before, he would
know anything of the merits of tjio cases
if he had no other source of Information.
At least in this editorial, fact is the, one
thing to which you pay scant attention.
Bo far, as I have observed yon have not
taken the trouble to relate the numerous
instances where our brave oflicers of the
law have ;one down before the onslaught
of criminals and assassins of the Inw and
our civilization, in defense of thp very
liberties of our law-abiding citizenship,
and ia. defeuse of th:it freedom which
permits men in your station to-fan the
names of lawlessness, to give comfort
to the thugs and bootleggers and reds
and midiught assassins in their warfare,
against the law and its enforcers. I
date say every bootlegger, every rapist
of the law, and every criminal of every
typo in, Cleveland and adjoining counties,
who could get hold of it, is now the proud
possessor of' this diatribe of yours
against law-enforcement, and I feel quite
sure of the fact that you are a herd in ;
the mind of the last mother's son of
them. , Of this proud eminence you
doubtless feel a degree of jiride.
Law On Searching Without Warrant.
I resent very strongly your gratuitous
draggiug of my name into the body "of
slime you poured out in this instance.
You had no right to state falsvly my po
sition on the question of the search and
seizure under the Volstead act and then
try to attack that position. If you were
possessed with 1he decent m an hood a
man of your position should possess, you
would not have done me this injustice.
Yon know very well you uttered a miser
able falsehood when you quotted nie as
saying that an "ofliecr is exonerated
who searches anything on rensonuhle sus
picion" or that an officer "could hold
up and search any one, any house, any
effects " .iind "o Rcot ' free.'
If you wanted to drag my name into this
mees, which you bad no right to do, why
did you not have the manhood to publish
what I lid- say on tlie subject and let
your readers- judge for themselves. The
only publie sentiment I over made on the
subject was published - in" the Lineobi
Times December .'list, 192I, but neither
to learn. And.; by the way' the 18th
amendment is as mnch a part of the
constitution as the fourth, aud it is a
strange coincident that eevry wet advo
cate and opponent of the 18th amend
ment throughout the land is a blatant
advocate of the strict enforcement of the
"noblo fourth." la fact, just as "pa
triotism is the last resort of scoundrels,"
ko the "noble fourth" and t' personal
lilierty " is the fetiah of every bootlegger
and blind-tiger in Ibc land. There is no
man who respects the constitution more
than I. do, and no one is more oppoeil
to the officer who transcends his author
ty under the law, nor do you outstrip me.
sir, in .seal tor toe protection er nie
rights and liberties of the people from
tryranny, and I challenge you to give
your readers the benefit of my own state
ment ii the subject if you desire them
to know my position.
ime you have questioned my position
in egard to search and seizure, 1 rail
your attention to the fact that the con
gress of the United States has defined
what is a reasonable search of property
other than cue's "person, house, papers,
and effects." Yon will find this enact
ment was passed November 2.1, 1921 (42
Btat. Chap. 134, Bee. 6; Barnes federal
Code. W22. Supplement. Se. S-l.i.lq)
and if you desire jour readers to know
the truth about it, doubtless they would
consider tho interpretation of the con
gress at least as valuable as your own,
certainly of ns much legal effect.
Personal Liberty and Boom.
If undei" no circumstances can one's
automobile be searched withoat a war
rant, than how can his plantation be
searched for blockade stills f How is
1 li imu unv Ittflfl cr ativ mnm ' ' nrnnprl IT ' '
than the other! Or how can the bank
examiner search every paper of the bank,
private property though it be! Or how
can the customs official hold up every
person coming into port and if necessary
search every trunk or piec of luggage
to ascertain If the law is being violated!
Or how ran . the narcotic agents of the
government inspect the books and prop
erty of every drug store and physician
in the land to see if the narcotic net ie.
being violated, or whether the whiskey
permits and alcohol permits are being
abused ! Yet none of tnese laws per
mitting the searching of private proper
ty are attacked by you and those of your
kind who ore long winded on the ques
tion 'of "personal liberty" when
"hze",is the sacred article that is be
ing searched for.
Asks Pointed Question.
