Salisbury, N.C., May 26—“We do hope the editors will hesitate to publish such glaring stories until they have been verified,” is the closing sentence of a letter mailed today by the Colored Ministerial association of this city to the Afro-American” negro weekly published at Baltimore, denying that a lynching and other racial disturbances had taken place here last Wednesday, as reported in the columns of the weekly. The association’s letter declared that relations between the two races at Salisbury have been most friendly and that no trouble of any kind has occurred.
