ROBERT QUILLEN'S
FRANK CONFESSIONS
.Sna RIA nihurp Journal.

Spartanburg Journal.
One of the most remarkable state
ments that ever appeared in any
newspaper is the following from the
last issue of the Fountain Inn Trib-
une, whose editor, Robert Quillen, is
widely knownas a writer for maya
zines and newspaper syndicates:
"Of all hard jobs in the world,
that of making a public confession is
the hardest. But if it is the only
square thing to do, it must be done.
This, therefore, is an open letter to
the young fellows of Fountain Inn
the good fellows the fellows love
and loaf with at times-the fellows
I have taken drinks with and fellow
shipped with.
"All this while I have been a
member of the church-just that
and nothing more. And when my
conscience bothered me about taking
a drink when I could get it, l said
to myself: why, I am a liberal
supporter of the church; I pay the
tithe; I am a gentleman and a man
of intelligence; there's no harm in
my taking a drink when I want it.,
for 1 can handle it,
81 said that, but was liar. And
while posing as church member
and a follower of Christ and yet re-
serving the right to take a drink at
my pleasure. I was considerably
lower down than snakes belly.
"This is bitter dose to swallow,
fellows, but I had it coming to me.
And if my conduct has led any of
you to believe that man can retain
his honor while carrying water on
both shoulders, / want to make 1t
clear that it's an impossibility.
"I'm through. Pm "a years of age,
and have never struck a lick for my
Lord. From now on I am His, to use
as H thinks best, and I'll stick to
Him if it costs me everything have
and every friend I have.
I'm ashamed fellows. Forgive me
for not having been square.
Robert Quillen."

LISTEN LESTER" COMING
Musical Comedy At Opera House
Next Thursday. -.

An Ohio paper has the following
to say of Listen Lester" the musi-
cal comedy which comes to the
Opera House Thursday of next
week:
Listen Lester hodgepodge of
fun, nonsense, music and prettily
costumed chorus entertained a large
audience at the opera house last
night and will be repeated tonight.
"The much talked of part of Will
liam Penn, the fresh hotel clerk,
made famous by Johnny Dooley,
Fred Heider and GUS Shy was play
ed by Johnny Wright who is a
comedian well known on the Pacific
coast. His eccentric dancing re-
ceiving the encores justly deserving.
An excellent foil was Col. Dodge
played by Lynton Athey who has
played the part the past two seasons.
Lester was played by Thomas Bar
rett who has very good concep-
toin of the difficult part and had the
house in an uproar at his every en-
trance. Ralph Coleman, well known
juvenile man, played Jack in pleas
ing manner, his tenor voice being far
above the average musical comedy
star. Miss Dorthy Eden was re-
freshing as Mary. She has pleasing
personality and a true voice. The
part of Arbutus written especially
for Gertrude Vanderbilt, is diff
cult role, but in the hands of Miss
Dorothy Douglas lost none of the
sparkling comedy, the costumes worn
Miss Douglas shows clearly her con-
ception of the part. Miss Louise
Wolf was the marrying widow, Mrs.
Muinm, in reality, her acting as we'll
as her singing shows experience.

NEGRO CHILD KILLED
Mail Carrier Runs Over Body
With Car


News from Donalds is to the eff
feet that on the 22nd inst. Magls-
trate D. NJ. Humphreys held an in
quest over the dead body of a negro
girl about three years old, named
Louise Presley, three miles west of
Donalds. From the evidence at the
inquest, j. A. Tribble, a rural mail
carrier, was passing, the home of the
child's mother in a Ford car, and
was running about Is miles an hour.
Three children were standing On the
side of the road. When Mr.. Tribble
got within Is feet of them, the old
est, boy, ran across the road ahead
of the car. Mr.. Tribble cut off his
gas and applied his break. Glancing
around he saw little girl attempt
the same hazardous trick. He did his
best to get between them but he
struck the girl with his front wheel
hurling her to the ground and both
wheels passed over the upper por-
ton of the body. Mr.. Tribble picked
her up and carried her into the house
and rushed to Honea Path for doc
tor. He and Dr.. Williams were back
in half an hour, only to find the
child dead. The doctor found no
wound or bruise but gave it as their
opinion that the wheels of the car
passing over the heart, caused death.
Mr.. Tribble, who is an all round
good man, was terribly shocked. He
did all that was possible to save the
child and failing in that, paid all
burial expenses.

IRISH SETTLEMENT
NEWS UNFAVORABLE

London, Nov. 25.-The negotia-

that next week may witness their
collapse unless more favorable cir

A FORCEFUL CHARGE.

Hon. H. H. Watkins, Judge OF the
district court for this district, has
delivered what the newspapers would
call a forceful charge. In it he has
something to say about several mat
ters of more than passing import
.ance, but his remarks about the IL
ouor traffic are of most interest just
now.
Judge Watkins says that the selling
of LIQUOR can be checked, if not
stopped, if the members of the Chris
tian churches would join in the fight.
He does not ask that all these men,
bers become active in the fight. Con-
.cerning most of them he suggests
that they would do their part by
stopping the purchase OF liquor from
bootleggers. Now that is not an IN
dictment against the church, but it is
an awful indictment against the
members of the church. 1t is awful
principally because what the judge
says is true.
H
One other matter which the judge
calls attention to, and to which we
have before called attention, de-
serves notice. The Judge says that
certain citizens of the state and coun-
try, who do not agree with the pro-
visions of the national prohibition
law, ''think buying whiskey is res
pectable," yet at the same time they
condemn the bootlegger. We may not
be willing to follow His Honor all
the way when he says, "The buyer OF
liquor is as bad as the seller" but
We can follow him in the declaration
that the situation cannot be cleared
up until "the respectable people stop
encouraging the sale Of liquor by
buying it themselves.
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1921-11-25

Judge Watkins had something to
saw about another matter of grave
concern just now, and that is about
the payment of debts. The Judge be-
lieves that the failure of so many
people to meet, their obligations just
now is due in some part to a let
down in public morals. We are not
sure just what, the cause is, but it is
certain that a great many people are
not paying their obligations who
should be paying them. The last two
years have brought hard times to the
section. A great many creditors have
shown sympathetic disposition to-
wards people who were indebted to
them, in fact creditors generally have
done this. In many instances, no
doubt, the patience of these creditors
has helped the debtor class, and a
continuance of indulgence will as
sist many men IN finally pulling the
grade.
{ But some few people we know
have taken advantage Of the sltua-
ton and arc using it not to try to
get their debts paid and their busi-
ness matters so arranged that they
may continue to meet obligations, but
for the purpose of "feathering their
own nests so to speak without any
regard for their creditors. 1t is of
these people that Judge Watkins
speaks. We do not know just how it
is in Anderson County, but in Able
vile County we do not have very
many of these people, but the few
we have is too many.
If Judge Watkins might convince
the people that now is no time to
try to make money, not to take ad'
vantage of a bad situation to help
ones self, but the time when every
man should bend his efforts to pay
his debtbs, and might induce people
to pay every dollar they can get or
their obligations, he will have done
a good service to the country gener'
ally.

LEAD TARIFF SCHEDULE
IS TO Be RECONSIDERED
LIMIT AMOUNT OF LEAD IN COP
PER MATTE TO ENTER
FREE OF DUTY.

4 few months ago. following the
hearing before the ways and means
committee of the house on the metal
tariff schedules, it was announced
that the American Smelling & Rein
ing company, which has extensive
smelling interests in Mexico, would
insist upon a provision in the new
tariff bill permitting the free admis-
sion of lead up to a certain per cent
contained in copper matte shipped
from Mexican smelters to refineries in
the United States. Protest was nat
mally made by those lead producers
whose operations are confined to the
United States who pointed out that
such a provision without limitation of
imports might prove of great damage
tC the domestic lead producers by
flooding the market with the metal
produced by Mexican and cheap la
Dor The controversy finally led to
conference in Washington which was
attended by the following representa-
tives of the lead producers: William
Loeb and James L. Gary representing
the American Smelling & Refining
company; Jerome j. Day and Ravenal
Macbeth, representing the lead pro-
ducers of Idaho; Ernest Baumgartner
representing the lead producers of
Utah and others.
Reach an Agreement.
As a result of this conference the
lead men agreed upon the following
provision to be included in the lead
tariff schedule of the new tariff bill:
Lead bearing ores and MATES Of
all kinds, IL cents per pound on lead
contained therein; provided that such
duty shall not be applied to lead con-
tanned in copper matte until after
1000 tons of such lead shall have been
imported in any one year"
Following the conference the lead
men requested members of the ways
and means committee to permit the
lead schedule to be reopened for fur
Their consideration. Assurance was
given that this request would be
granted and that the subcommittee
would pass upon the special provision
agreed upon by the representatives
of the lead interests It is regarded
almost certain that the provision will
be incorporated in the new tariff and
will become a law.
