Meriwether was on the witness stand an hour and a half, testifying in detail as to the fight and the incidents that led to it.

Branch made an extra inspection of his room and had tried to get a report against him. Meriwether continued: The Encounter In Branch's Room. "That night after consulting my friends I went to Branch's room with Jaeger. I asked Pritchard if I could see Branch and was told that I could. I went in Branch's room and the light was turned on. I said that I had come to see him about what occurred. Branch said 'You aro a damn fool to come to sec me, you know that my class hates yon,' I said, 'That is not so, you are the only one who does.' "Branch then asked. 'What if I do' I said 'Then you are a damn sneaking coward and I will light you though I am not in fighting condition.' I added, 'if you get up I will lick you.' ; He said,. 'You mean you will try.' 'That's what 1 will,' I said, 'and if you get up I will show you.' He did not get up and after a little further conversation Jaeger left the room. "I called Branch what I did because I was told the custom was that a fight would end feeling and Branch had told ' me he was going to 'bilge' me, that is, make me fail, and I wanted to fight ami end the matter. I did not intend to fight when I went to the room, but he again told me that he intended to bilge me." Explains Failure to Hit Branch.

" The public is 1 I fully fits liim for the control of large railway systems, lie is a born railway man, nnd lias spent all his life conduct ing railway affairs..' He comes of a fam ily of railway people. He has never nia,do a backward step. His career has ever been onward and upward, each change of position having in the line or promotion. He has never been asked for his res ignation, though he has held responsi ble positions on some of the greatest systems in the West and Northwest. Mr. Coapman early began to reali.e the necessity of becoming a master of whatever ho intended to undertake. He knew the necessity of having a firm foundation on which to build, and as he had chosen the career of a railway man, he determined to learn the business from the ground up. All through his life, and he is now only forty years of age, he has seen the benefit of his thorough early training. He can en counter no obstacle w hich his perfect i knowledge of railroading does not. en-1 able him to easily surmount, and it all qualifies him most eminently for the' high and responsible position to which a great railway, system had seen lit to tender him. It was in June, 1(102, that Mr. Coap man came to (Ireensboro as superin tendent of the Danville division of the Southern Railway and he has held that position ever since. His management has, been such as win the highest confi dence of the Southern 'officials and ha led to the promotion w.hieh now awaits him. That he will continue to deserve their commendation goes without say ing that the great interests of a great railway will never suffer under his man agement is a fixed certainty.
