Another o£ the white excursionists who arrived in the city Monday night on the Atlantic Coast Line reported yesterday that he had been robbed ol s3l in cash and a silver watch, but tin' ii tin c did give no idea of who re lieved bint of the things WRITES RATHER A SALTY CARD Waite has Bad Words for the City Editor of Journal “A COWARD AND A OUR” Says He Has Been Treated Wrong by Newspaper Man, Who is Safely Guarded by a Peace Warrant. Editor News: l do not think the newspaper is the proper place to air one’s cares, at the same time when a man is assailed by a member of the press, who hides behind that screen, then it seems no more than right that he should be treated to a dose of his own medicine. Without treating the subject that called for it, 1 found it necessary yes terday afternoon to chastise the ex cuse for a man. now acting in the capacity of city editor of the Bruns wick Journal. He had gone out of his way to bring my name into a matter that no decent journal would give space and when I called on him at his office, he did not give me that satisfaction that I should have had, and being protec ted with the presence of a lady, I advised him that, while I had called to whip him, 1 would forego the teiu tation as a lady was in the office. Later in the day I met him in the street and made good my threat and I regret to say that some gentlemen standing near, prevented me from ad ministering to tlhe coward the thrash ing that he merited. Today, resorting to the remedy of a coward and a cur, he has had a warrant sworn out against me charging assault and bat tery, he has also used the coward's route, by placing me under a peace warrant. However, in his sheet this afternon he denounces me as having assaulted him, and gives great prom inence to the fact that he was whipped, on the public streets. His conduct in this instance is that of a man who firsts ties the hands of his adversary and then fights him. This coward seems to want notoriety and I simply wish to say to him that if he will raise his peace warrant for only one day, I will give Ihitni all of that article that he wants. In the meantime, 1 here and now denounce him as a coward and a cur, who disgracess the name of man. If he does not like this I am at his dis posal at any time and in any way he may elect.
