SpOndent About Words With Cover


Washington. June a-Prcsident
William Coleman, of the Glen Lowry
Cotton Mill, at Whitmirc, passed
through Washington today on his way
to New York on private business. A
copy OF The News and Courier OF last
sunday containing two accounts OF
the incident between himself and
Governor Blease during the latter's
speech at Whitmire Saturday, was
shown to Mr.. Coleman and he was
asked if he had any comment to make
un the accounts, the first Of which
was contained in special from New
berry and the second in a special from
Whitmire. Mr.. Coleman replied:

was accused OF opposing a resolution
in his favor. This was not true, and
scores OF men who were there would
have contradictcd It, and no one,
feel sure, would have affirmed 1t.
Another matter was then brought
UP which I wished to explain. Tho
governor absolutely refused to allow
me to say one word by way OF putting
myself right. There was nothing left
for me to do except that which did,
namely, tell him to go to hell and
leave.
For a high officer, under cover o.
his position, to draw private citizen
into the limelight and then to abso-
lutely refuse to entertain any explana-
ton Is nothing less than tyranny

don't excel the opposition.
l know that not only are our games
faster and with fewer errors than
those of the opposition but in addition
with the high grade pitching staffs
that we have we are able to offer the

they are able to witness in the other

Even the opposition and the newspa-

that the two other major leagues are
deplorably weak in the pitching staffs
and this whole weakness can be laid
to the raids Of the Federals.
