Tillett, state regent, is here, stopping at the New Williard. Tire state delegates will meet Tuesday. The annual congress will open with a lively row between North Carolina) groups over Miss Coitrane, former his torian general of the national society, because she omitted the name of Wood row Wilson in a reference to our great Presidents. In her last report as his torian general, to the continental con gress, in 1321, Misjs Coitrane said, "The mission of history i# not alone to record the past but to mold the future. There is no one who does not feel prouder of her native land because the august figure of Washington presided over it; no one but vows it a tender love because Lin coln poured out his blood for it: no one but must feel his devotion for his coun try demand# his loyalty as we fare a new era with President Harding.” This speech was approved by the state regent of North Carolina. Mrs. W. O. Spencer, before its delivery. In the au dience were delegate# from Gastonia, N.

Mrs. Gregory i# popular with the leaders of the Daughters of Revolution organization, and is a stout defender and supporter of Miss Coi trane. Many of the southern delegates al ready here think that Mis# Coitrane should have brought in the name of Woodrow Wilson, but they feel the omis sion i# no cause for barring their can didate. In a letter to Mrs. Gregory "Mrs. Re gan. who ha# aroused opposition to Miss Coitrane. says: "It i* being brought out that, you said your father read that Washington speech of Miss Coitrane. in which she failed to mention Woodrow Wilson’s name, and that he saw nothing wrong with it. “Now T tell you that speech has been received with poor grace, coming from a Southern Democrat, and that being his sentiment, the men and women of our old democratic state are ready to resent it with their vote#. Personally, I regret very much you made such a statement.” For months the tempest over the se lection of Miss Coitrane has raged in the state, and now it has been trans ferred to Washington, where it may make trouble bet ween the friends of the late President Harding and the late President Wilson. A North Carolina Daughters of the American Revolution convention held at Pinehurst, named Miss Coitrane for vice president general. The opposition charg ed that the election was irregular, and demanded another. Later a second was held in Greensboro, and Miss Coitrane wa# again declared winner. A battle royal is brewing. There being no contest over president general this year, the election of ten or more vice president general# will enliven the session here this week. $2.00 a Year, Strictly in Advance. latff IJALtS OF COTTON CONSUMED DURING LAST MOTH Total Used During March Showed Decrease as Com pared With the'Total Used In February.
