Hoorah, hoorah, for Southern rights!

Thank you, V.C. Rogers of the Independent, for your tribute to Jesse Helms (Peripheral Visions, July 9). Helms would be proud to have the “Stars and Bars” flying at half-mast in dedication to him. No finer tribute could be given or devised for a favorite son of North Carolina and the South.

Deo vindice.
