Abstract:

In the early days of North Carolina beating up an editor you disagreed with was a common occurrence. Colonial officials were often instructed to keep printing presses out of their areas. But over times the editor and his paper became more acceptable. Caldwell discusses some of the early papers and three leading editors of the 19th-century.

Abstract:

Jesse Holmes, the Fool Killer, was a fictitious character invented by Charles Napoleon Bonaparte Evans, editor and publisher of the Milton Chronicle during most of the period form 1841 to 1883. At monthly intervals, letters to Evans from his alter ego Holmes were published in the Caswell County weekly newspaper. These letters, dealing with current topics, and often with local people, proved to be the most popular feature of the Milton paper.
