Young newspaper man and runs d
weekly newspaper at Fountain Inn.
He is bright and presumably an in
defatigable worker. How else could
he manage to run a weekly paper and
find time to entertain the nation on

field. Quillen writes the paragraphs

little office at Fountain Inn. Daily
he sends them to the Greenville pa

The Literary Digest "copies" them

In Greenwood, Here and Eisewhc.'

In the First Baptist Church at
Greenwood last Sunday night the
Rev. J. r. Jester, pastor, preached to
an audience packing the building a
sermon "called forth as a protest
against the recent dance given in the
city at. he time that the oratorical
contest was held" The IndeX-Jour-
nal Of Greenwood reports that this
dance 'is said to have been a most
iiisgraceful and shocking affair." y
"Dr. Jester discussed other condi-
tions which are calculated to make
Greenwood far from what it should
be-" describing the prevalence of the
sale of whiskey and it's drinking, and
gambling as evils seriously menacing
the community. THE Devil on the
Job in Greenwood" was the theme of
the sermon and the issue of The
Index-J ournal containing an account
Of i has an extended letter from Dr..
]. B. Green of the Presbyterian
church, of the same tenor.
DR.. Jester and DR.. Green apparently
differ in that the former condemns
dancing in general as "a relic of bar
barism" and, inferentially as quite
beyond hope of reform while DR.
Green is content with saying that
"thc amusement of dancing is in
danger in America from it's own vile
ness--in danger of suppression. The
ball the other night was about the
limit in offendingness. An open af-
fair, any one paying the price could
enter and take part. Had the devil
appeared and paid the price he would
not have been refused admittance.
And be sure he was there; it was his
performance"
While we think that DR.. Green has
made the stronger case in that the
points to the abuse of the amusement
without undertaking to place it
wholly under ban, both preachers
have served their community by

regarded as fragrant departure from
gentlemanly conduct.
Granting that dancing is not to be
prohibited, the simple way to regu-
late it is for good people not to
neglect it. When middle-aged men
and women attended entertainments
with their daughters or the daughters
of their friends, they lend to them an
atmosphere Of decent restraint and
the Objectionable incidents of the
ball at Greenwood are, seldom, If
ever, in evidence.
Youth must have amusement and
will have it and youth is impetuous,
sometimes rash. The obligation of
fathers and mothers is to share in
the play of their nearly grown up
children and their withdrawal from
its indulgence is selfishness, a sin
scarcely less reprehensible than the
excesses complained of.-IndeX-

speaking in plain terms. Greenwood
is not the only city in which the
tendancy to convert social affair
into revel has been in evidence
lately and there should be more
vigilance and more courage on the
part of teachers of morality and re-
ligion to check it,,
Of course. dancing will not be pre-
scribed as all amusement and we do
not think that it ought to be. Opposi-
ton that would put an end to it has
proved futile for centuries and eff
forts to protect dancing as whole
some form of entertainment are
merely hampered by wholesale con-
demnation.
While dances have been had in
Columbia in the last twelve months
which might have been improved in
their conduct, many other dances and
balls have been given that were beau
tiful, delightful and innocent. More
over, hundreds of such entertain
ments have been given in South
Caroina during more than a hundred
wears at which wines were served
and which were not marked by any
indecency, incredible as it is to
many good people. The drinking of
wine in moderation at a large and
festive gathering is entirely possible.
The serving of wine at dances hav-
ing been made impracticable by law,
the danger of execesses has been al
most eliminated-that is, provided
persons of good manners have direc-
ton of the entertainment. The time
never was when carrying of intoxi-
cants privately at a dance was
countenanced by gentlemen in South
Carolina. When it was done, it was

ONE MAN IN CONGRESS.

Congressman Pell, of New York
he has very good family name, to
be sure-expects to be defeated for
election to Congress. He had the
courage the other day to make a
9 eech in the House fatty opposing
all bonus legislation, the question
has caused so much discussion
in Washington. In speaking against
the robbery that has been proposed
in the name of patriotism, this man
among men said: 81 intend to vote
against this bonus. | am Going this
in the full realization that it means
the end of my political career, and |
can tell you frankly that it is a pain
full thing to commit political suicide,
but 1 do not think that honor will
permit me to follow any other
course" Instead of ending his polit-
ical career, the course OF this unus-
ual member of Congress siould as
sure a higher career for him for
many years to come, and that will be
the result if the voters in his district
have not lost the appreciation of
courage in high places, the sort OF
courage that was illustrated on many
battlefelds overseas when the SOL
diers of the United States were
fighting for their country and not for
money. Many years ago there was a
great man down in Mississippi by the
name of L. Q. C. Lamar. He was a
Senator of the United States. The
LEGISLATURE of his State directed him
TO vote for the free coinage OF silver

led the case to the people aW

THE BONUS BILL

Congress seems to have dropped,
for the time being at least, the pro-
posed bonus for soldiers in the World
War. The brick was too hot to handle
1t begun to appear to republicans
and democrats alike that there were
other people with votes besides the
soldiers. Perhaps the soldiers im-
pressed on some of them that va,cr
was it's own reward. At any rate it
is now stated that there will be no
legislation prior to the conventions
of the two great parties, and there
will likely be none afterwards, that
is, none looking to the payment of a
bonus to the perfectly strong and
healthy soldier.
The proposed sales tax did not ap-
peal to the people strongly. When
they were informed That the
wholesaler would add this tax to
the price of the goods to the retailer,
and that the retailer would add it
to the price of the goods to the con-
sumer and that the people would pay
the freight, as they generally do,
they were unable to see why they
should contribute to make whole
army of people idle at the very time
when the country needs the fruits of
cir labor.
On the other hand, while it was
proposed to tax big business again,
on the war profits, neither party was
ignorant of the fact that pig busi-
ness sometimes has something to say
in election years. While the big COR
porations have undoubtedly made
tremendous profits during the war
period, other people have cone the
same, The corporations have already
paid enormous taxes into the public
.casury, and the country will not
deem it just that their treasures
should be again raided, and the
country tries to be just,
It is as we'll that the proposed boz
us legislation Join the recent overall
brigade and disappear. The country
NIL take care of the soldiers who
are not able to take care o. them
selves because of wounds, hurts and
ills, and in time it will no doubt do
good part by all the soldiers of the
&reat war. The politicians may safe
ly leave the matter to the country.
Neither the soldiers nor the people
desire that political capital be made
out of the matter.

tie people heaped further honors' ,
upon him because he had been true
to himself and to them. 1t will be
the same way with Representative
Pell; that is to say, if the people of
his Congressional District are true
to themselves.
Mr.. Pell is not opposed to the most
liberal treatment of the soldiers who
fought IN the World War; he would
"vote for the most generous treat
ment possible for men that have been
injured in the service of the United
States, and also for proper care of
the descendants of those men who
have been killed; but I cannot" he
said in his speech, bring myself
:-.orely for consideration of political
&vantage to vote for q bill which
would impose tax of twenty dollars
a head en- every man, woman and
child in the country. There is no
conceivable way, or at least no way
has been suggested by which such an
amount Of money could be raised
which would not paralyze the indus
tries of the United States and preci-
pitate such a crisis as we have never
seen in our history. Hard times un-
questionably are coming, whatever
we may do, but while we cannot avert
difficulties we can tremendously ag-
gravate them.
Considering the low purchasing
power of money today and also the
General tendency of all classes to-
ward extravaganza, $500 means
about as much to a boy today as S75
or 500 would have meant 20 us, and
:e may rest assured that nine-tenths
the men receiving this money vii
spend it on a good time and not work
until it is all gone. After that they
will try to get back their JOBS that
they held and find that they no Ion
ger exist, so that their last state will
