ROCKY MOUNT — To the Editor:

One of the things I love most about returning home to my beloved Tarboro is escaping the grueling crush of northern Virginia and nasty Washington politics. It made me terribly sad to return home for a visit this past week to find such spiteful garbage splattered across the headlines of the hometown paper. What possible purpose can be served by smearing Sen. Jenkins’ personal financial burdens across your front page? Sen. Jenkins and his wife have been devoted members of the Tarboro community and have served faithfully in many capacities. If the purpose was to promote the newspaper, then I hardly think the extra dozen copies that may have been sold could have been worth the personal damage done to a local family. If the purpose was to serve the public and promote freedom of the press ... I don’t believe your “story” has done either.

If the flags in Tarboro are not flying at half-staff, then they should be as a true patriot, hero, and Christian has died.

Your coverage on the gun control debate was fair and accurate and I have fought against gun control my whole life. The sad thing is this time the American public is haunted by the ghosts of 20 innocent children and the claims by the proponents for assault weapons is making all gun owners look callous and uncaring.

What has Clark Jenkins done? He has served his town, his county, and his state for five consecutive terms in the North Carolina Senate. He has led a life of service to his business, his church, and his family. He has been a friend and a partner with me and my family for over 50 years.

After Christmas, and after picking up a friend at his house near Hartford, Conn., we were bogged down in holiday traffic.
