One whom I consider i very close friend. I was seeking . a small contribution to a very re ' 1 nous cause. I war asking nothing f jr myself. His abrupt answer ra f rred to an editorial I had in last v eek'a Times, referring to Kerr ott. . My editorial expressed my t ue feeling. If he wants to write n answer I surely will, publish" it, : lardless of bow strong it may be. 1 feel that an editor has the right tj say what he thinks; I also feel that he should give the other fellow a privilege to say what he. thinks, in his sheet, I think fai? play Is only Just However, I was not think lng In terms of politics when I tajlf ed with this person. I was thinking ; tn terms Of humanltarioniam. " Th Duplin Times has received tome : criticism recently. We wel come criiticlsm. We have no idea of wanting to dictate and when our Opponents come back at us it gives i Its reason for thought We want to " think and think right and present problems as they are. If we are wrong we are willing to accept it. A good argument in a frienedly way " la good for us all. Let's argue in food nature, not In court, and wa'll - find we progress slowly, but surely. fio two humans think alike. Also ' at the same time let's realize that the editor has the advantage, not gh the fact that he may have the capacity to think, but in the fact that he owns the newspaper and f can publish what he wants to. No one,, under, the Constitution, 'can -forbid him this privilege. But a decent editor will allow his readers the same access to his paper that he -. 'lias. Does the end Justify the means? , you,' gentle readers, will have to determine this. ' S, E.

Since December 29th there has been re ported to the Sheriffs office six robberies sfty breaking and enter ing. Moat of these robberies have been obmmltted by thieves who seenvuiteresti d only in money and not in merenandise. Some mer chants have reported losses of mer chandise,', but In , most instances where the thieves have failed to find money little else has-been bothered Following is a list of robberies reported since Decem ber 29th: Dec. 29, 1948: Seth Hill's Store and Service. Station at Baltic was entered and $30 in silver stolen. No merchandise reported taken. . Jan. 1, 1949: The store of L H.

TO OUR READERS Folks, we are very sorry that the Times la late this week. Through no fault of ours, but through the fault of our paper supply house in Rich mond, Va., who shipped our newsprint by freight instead of express rs orde.pt. Our frehjh shipment f M'U In transit; we wired for imma diaate shipment by ttjjies. The express siilpmcnt arriv ed at noon Friday, which la by far, too late to set ott three runs on the press, fold, stamp and mail your papers in time to hit the 5 o'clock mail. Chinquapin White, 129 bu., and $66.67; Colored, 111 bu. Wallace (White and Colored 134 bu., and $4 in cash). Rose Hill - White, 57 bu., and $22.28 cash; Colored, 133 bu. Magnolia - White, 30 bu., and $50 in cash; Colored, 140 bu. Total White, 1003 bushels, and $250.97 In rash; Colored, 937 bu shels. The corn from Wallace came on one truck and we did not know how much to credit each school there. This report shows that the job was well done by all, but it cleariy indicates that our negro schools did a far better Job in proportion to their numbers and. resources thin did the white schools. Their con tribution of 937 bushhels compared with the 1008 bushels contribute by the white schools is an lndlca - tion of their willingness to help all people; even the neighbor in Eur ope where there are very few of their own race. The figures in the table above does not include gifts of cash and commodities unless they were col lected by the schools. It is my sincere hope that y?ur Christmas will be made more pleas ant and more happy because of your help in this worthy undertaking. Cordially yours, O. P. Johnson, Supt. Duplin County Schools Store, Rose Hill, was entered and the iron safe stolen. It is reported the safe contained $125 in cash and about $300 worth of narcotics. The safe was found about five miles southeast of Clinton in the woods, broken open.The money was gone, but all of the narcotics were jtill in the safe. Three suspects are ...j.. .oct .nit in M t Clinton. UllUCa va rf - n.. ..f...nrff..Mntio. have been .r. returned to the owners.
