Raleigh Times Editorial Praises Will Saunders, May 23, 1924

We Pluck the Rose and Leave the Thorns

Editorial from the Raleigh Times, Issue of May 17, 1924

Will Saunders of The Elizabeth City Independent is to our notion the most effective single-handed newspaperman in this State. He knows how to write a snappy news-story; he writes an editorial with punch and precision; he does features for nationally-circulated magazines that pay him well.

We also hold and will stoutly maintain while breath remains that he is a good citizen as well as a source of inspiration to his fellow craftsmen.
