Abstract:

Archibald Johnson of Scotland County was a great editor, a great worker, and a great crusader who championed many causes. Almost his entire career was as an editor, starting in 1892 with the LAURINBURG EXCHANGE and later the RED SPRINGS CITIZEN. In 1895, his writing attracted the attention of Baptist leaders and they called him to Thomasville to become editor of CHARITY AND CHILDREN. He held that position until his death forty years later.
