HARSH CRITICISM.
The critic no doubt has bin
place everywhere and a certain
amount of crticism is good and
necessary. For somebody to call
attention to defects and point
out objectionable features is im
portant, but harsh criticism is a
very bad tiling. Where in all
this world could be found more
harsh criticism than in Johnston
County ? The people have formed
the habit and keep it up. We
have become to a great. extent a
set of kickers. No matter w hat
moveineut starts, nor how inno
cent it is, nor how good its mo
tives are it will be attacked from
almost every quarter and in al
most every conceivable way. Not
only the movement itself, but
the men who are trying to push
it forward will be talked about
and misrepresented. Hven the
Southern Cotton Association has
been talked against and worked !
against all over the county. Of
course that was stupidity aud
short-sightedness on the part of
those who did it. Hut every oth
er movement gets the same
treatment.
Sometimes it looks like certain
people are against everything
It takes more courage and en
durance than most people have
to help lead a good cause in
Johnston County. Those who
try to lead get tired of having
their motives impugned and false
reports circulated on them.
There is nothing which pleases j
certain people better thau to
hear somereport.no matter how I
unreasonable and false it is, on
some school teacher, or preacher,
or political leader, or a leader of j
some good movement. Tfy re
port is diligently circulated and
changed to suit the place and !
people and added to in many in- i
stances.
Why is it that our people are!;
so harsh in their criticism of men
and measures?
1st. Prejudice. The people
have been taught to make no
allowance for a difference of opiu- i
ion. There have always been
differences of opinion about mat
ters and always will be, and ev
ery person should be willing for
every other person to have his
own opinion, but it is not so. We
regret to say it, but it is true
and we must say it, that much
of the religious and political '
teaching in the pa>-t makes to
allowance for a difference of opin
ion. The people have been taught
that other* differing with them
about matter* did so because
they were mean or not willing to
do right, in some cases this is
true but in many others it is en
tirely wrong. We take the posi
tion that every man should have
his owu honest opinion about
religion, politics and everything
else, and express it if he wants to
without having his motives im
pugned or his honesty question
ed. Let us have freedom of
thought and free speech. Let us
not be so prejudiced as some of
us have been heretofore.
2nd Ionorani k. Weareglad
our people are buying books
and subscribing for papers and
loosing at things in a broader
way. ignorance causes more
harsh criticism than any one
other thing When a man views
men and measures as he should
he cannot criticise harshly.
Mrd. because men douothave
the proper feeling for each other.
It is wrong to take a selfish view
of life. It is wrong to live for just
what we can get out of life. Life
is something more than money
making. All men are brothers
and should have kind feelings
toward each other and should
work for each other's comfort
and welfure. When a man gets
interested in the welfare of other
men and is trying to help them
instead of hindering them he soon
gets to a point where he has no
harsh criticism for them.
Farmers, Support Your Association.
It never was more important
than now for the farmers to sup
port the Southern Cotton Asso
ciation. Any money sent to Mr.
J. M. Beaty will be acknowledged
in Tin: Hkkalu and forwarded
at once to support the work.
The following letter explains the
situation:
Charlotte, N. C., Aug. JO, '0(5.
Mr. .1. M. Beaty, Smithtield,
My Bear Sir:?My work for the
Association is uphill business be
cause I have no funds. There is
a continual call for information
aud for my services in many
ways, several counties write for
me to go to talk and to encour
age farmer* to stand by the As- J
sociation, I can not go for the
want of expense money.
We can do a power of good if
we had aid from the farmers. 1
w ill be glad if you will write a
strong article for your readers
and impress them with import
ance of sustaining the work. We
have done too much to lie quiet
now when the speculators are
lighting down the price of cotton i
every day.
Any money in the treasury of
your County Association should
be sent to Secretary Barker by
September 1st, he has no funds (
at all. And how do you think 1
can attend the Hot Springs meet-1
ing? (Juess I must go on the
railroad and "step off" when 1|
meet a train.
1'lease get an expression from 1
your farmers as the price to fix
on cotton and their opinion as
to disposal of Secretary Cheat- 1
ham. I wish to know the wishes I
of the farmers.
Yours truly,
C. C. Moouk. i
