ANOTHER SCOTSMAN.
(To tho Editor.) Sir. —Over this iioin de plume a correspondent last evening iries to make out that I had said Scotsmen, should* lead. Anyone unbiased can see at a glance that the old Scotsman I mentioned claimed for Britishers to lead as against foreigners, and 1 was only staling a fact, not giving an opinion. With regard to the attempted slur on my family. It is well known in Grey* mouth that one son early in the wartried twice to got away and was turned down both times on account of heart trouble, mid two others also got turned down. A grandson got shot through the thigh on the Somme from which he suffers to-day, and many others of the name sleejr in Flanders. 1 have been fifty-four years on the Coast and I defy any man to say that ‘one of tho name has not toed the mark when required.—Yours etc. FERGUS BARROWMAN.
