C., under the Act of March 3, 1879. Letters To The Editor ••••••••• <••••••••• June 18, 1948 Dear Editor: I was deeply interested in your editorial regarding Railroad Blackie. The one that did this un derhand act of shooting Blackie, should have his conscience so trouble him that he will always be reminded of the mean act. I know that a dog is man’s best friend and when my dog died I was no good for a month. Why is it that when a human life is taken they call it murder, but a dog is brushed aside as one of those things ? May the one who did this have cause to remember it for the rest of his life. Sincerely, W. C. Lange, Black Mountain, N. C. June 20, 1948 Dear Editor: After watching the arguing and quarreling which goes on at the so-called Sunday school soft ball league games at the grammar school field, I am not surprised that your town is not safe for a harmless animal as you described Blackie in your fine editorial of June 17. After taking several of my friends to see the games, I grew ashamed of the conduct of some of the players and decided to stay away for the rest of the summer. If this league is operated by the Sunday schools of the various churches, it seems that they would insist on better sportsman ship. After all the games were organized for fun and recreation. From what I’ve seen it it anything but that. You might help through the editorial columns of your paper by starting a campaign against poor sportsmanship. And please don’t blame the youngsters. In fact the young players seem to conduct themselves with more grace and polish than do the older ones. As a summer visitor I may have spoken out of turn, but these are my sentiments. Carl S. Geary, Black Mountain, N. C. Dear Editor: This being my first visit to Western North Carolina and to Black Mountain since leaving for "the army in 1942, would like to express my sincere appreciation for the wonderful time I have had while spending my furlough back home with people I really know best. In 10 more years I expect to re tire from the United States army and have my plans of making my Grove Stone & Sand Company SWANNANOA, N. C.
