Just so long as we know that the
good people of Richland" believe
and know that this writer has never
said or limited anything that would
re1ect upon them as citizens of the
very highest type, it makes little diff
terence to us what the young Scribe
IRON that place may advance as his
{oplnion to the contrary. Opinions
: never affect the truth. The ugly
and unwarranted attack made on the
Seneca athletic team last fall by the
young scribe for not entering a relay
race when the mercury was hover
; ing around zero, and the mild re-
I joinder by this correspondent, have
{ brought on the little controversy
which has run good-naturedly
. through several weeks. AS It is no
longer interesting to the general pub
lie we close with this: Anybody in
terested enough to read the files con-
tanning the little controversy from
its ncipiency will understand the
: real truth OF the affair Though he be

" Sibie way OF miSconstruing anything
this writer has ever said in these
columns, ii the reader can under

then yours truly is not to be blamed
for that!
