The Gazette received today the following telegram from David Clark, or Charlotte, owner and editor of The Southern Textile Bulletin.  It is self-explanatory.  This addition to facts given in Clarkís telegram Sunday to The Gazette, will serve to give the public some idea of the character of the man who is setting himself up as a leader in the All-American county.
