i _: KEY. SETTLES REPLIES. (Continued from page six.) kne*v of dealings with Mr. Nettles which reflected on his integrity. This man wrote him in reply that he didn't like Mr. Nettles personally, but that in all his business dealings with Mr. Nettles he had found him to be a man of his word, and that he had always paid what he owed. Last spring Mr. Nettles published a paragraph in the Advocate, which Mr. Cauthen took offense at. It apparent ly rankled him, and made him wince. He then wrote Mr. Nettles threatening letters about what he would do if Mr. Xettles didn't apologize. Mr. Nettles did not apologize. Everywhere Mr. Nettles went he heard of these rumblings from Spartanburg. He became tired of it, and demanded an investigation of his character by his presidk ing elder. The time was fixed, and T the investigation committee assem' bled. Mr. Nettles wanted each of the * witnesses brought into the room one B at a time so that he could properly by cross-examination determine the truth r of what they said. Rather than stand | for this, the Spartanburg contingent i refused to present their testimony ancl! returned home. Mr. Cauthen would not tell Mr. Nettles what charges he | had against him. He exerted himself! to keep his case under cover. Wednesday morning the conferencej celebrated the holy communion. All those who were in love and charity i with their neighbors were responding' to the blessed invitation and passing i up the aisle to partake of the ele- j ments. It was a sacred and solemn iteioment, when one would think that R minister of our Lord and Savior Klesus Christ would have put every worldly or petty thought from his r mind and turned toward holy things. But it was this sacred and solemn moment which Mr. Cauthen's messenger chose to hand Mr. Nettles a copy of the charges which had been preferred against him. ! There was a reason for this concealment until the last moment, I ^There must have been a sinister pur-| Ifcse in it. "vt?. vnttloc ir> thio nrtcihnn * i Mil yui iUl. 1U UUW fVUAwv~>. Be had to go to trial without a fair Hhance to prepare his defense or else; wnand time for that purpose. If he Hlmanded time it meant temporary uspension from the ministry because ^rhen a Methodist preacher is under charges he is automatically suspendBed. Furthermore, if Mr. Nettles asked Jfor time, and thereby . became suspended some one would have to be appointed temporary editor of the Advo^nte. Mr. Nettles decided to meet the ^Bsue then and there, and he did. Mr. Nettles is well known in South Hirolina where he has lived an honRable and honored life for 55 years, psfras done things which he regretV as has every other man. But Hre is no blot on his character.

Netiles. i Gives Out Additional In- j ft?Considers tlie Case j m as Closed. k Journal. piratically will be the last installment in the now famous Nettles case, so far as the Rev. A. J. Cauthen is concerned, was given out from the office of Mr. Cauthen this morning, i The disclosure of the letter from a j prominent Spartanburg banker which I Mr. Nettles, in his comment on the j case, is alleged to have only extracted ! certain parts, was secured by Mr. ! Cauthen's friends, to be published in ! full in order that an alleged misap! nrehension might be corrected. i It is charged that from this letter ; Mr. Nettles in his reply used only j the paragraph as follows: | This man (referring to the banker) | wrote him (referring to Mr. Cauthen) : in reply that he didn't like Mr. Netj ties personally, but that in all his I business dealings with Mr. Nettles he j had found him to be a man of his i word and that he had always paid ! what he owed. When Mr. Cauthen's i friends, who had stood true to him when the charges were being brought i against Mr. Nettles, heard that this ; letter referred to had something else j in it in reference to the accused except that which was quoted in Mi. | Nettles' article, chey at once took up j the matter of securing the full text i of the letter, which is as follows: The Letter. Spartanburg, S. C., Aug. 30, 1913. T-? A T rtev. o. v/a.uuu.cix> Spartanburg, S. C. Dear Mr. Cauthen: ? I have carefully read your letter oZ the 27th, and cannot promise you that I will be able to attend the next annual conference to testify in the matter mentioned therein. In the first place in all my dealings with Nettles in business matters I have never known him to be dishonest. or to fail to do what he has promised us. All your paragraph which was in quotations has been for some | years here a very common report [among all circles, except the last word, dishonest. We do not recall that this has been specifically charged against him. In my relations with him and in his relations here in tne bank he has been overbearing, obnoxious, dictatorial, thus rendering transactions with him especially unpleasant, and when it is known that he is a minister of the Gospel, his general conduct reflects only discredit upon the church. I would not allow our church paper to come in my home so long as a man who would support the dispensary system was its editor. As the editorial leader of the thousands of Methodists of South Carolina, he is a living source of reproach. Of this much I would testify before a committee here or send in the form o eorwrato nnnpr. or vou are at vt Ui www V- 7 ?- - ^ ? ? ? liberty to use this. As I have only heard the charges you enumerate, save the "dishonest" charge, and do not know the facts first hand, my testimony would be worth nothing. I can only testify to the general opinion of the man that prevails here in church circles, and it is as 1 have stated. As a church we can not afford to face the world any longer endorsii^ a man of this type as on'e of our trusted leaders. He may not be ev;l in life or in acts, at the same time the opinion current of him is one that would cancel any good that he might en'deavor to accomplish. As a minister his wings haye been clipped. These are my candid opinions given for the good of our church. Augustus M. Chreitzberg. Letter to Mr. Chreitzberg. The letter to Mr. Chreitzberg asking his opinion of the commercial standing of Mr. Nettles in Spartanburg,' was as follows: Spartanburg, S. C., Aug. 27, 1913. Mr. A. M. Chreitzberg, Spartanburg, S. C. My Dear Sir and Brother:? Ir the case of the Church vs. S. A. Nettles, the following specification is given: "It is alleged that the said S. A. Nettles has, in his business transactions in Spartanburg and Greenville, been guilty of practice unbecoming a minister of the Gospel, for which he has been severely criticized by leading business men and by which he has rendered himself an undesirable customer; habitually disputing accounts against him, postponing the payment of accounts, and in not a few instances refusing to pay just accounts until they were placed in the hands of attorneys for collection, and, in several instances allowing himself to be seen in magistrate's courts for debt. As a result he is spoken of as unfair, undesirable and dishonest". You have expressed yourself to me concerning these matters, but as I cannot go to conference with simple verbal expressions of opinion, but must have something reliable to sustain me, I write this note to ask: Suppose you are called upon by a committee to express to it your opinion nf the nrvmmPTv>ial standing of Mr. Nettles in Spartanburg, would you respond? Would you be able and willing to testify, that the above specification expresses about the truth? I will be glad to get your reply at earliest convenience as I wish to get this matter in definite shape. Yours very truly, A. J. Cauthen. In justice to Mr. Cauthen it should be said that he does not desire to continue the aftermath of the Nettles case and this in all probability will be all he has to say in reference to the case for the present. He may have to say something when the appeal is taken to the general conference, but until that time he will have nothing further to say. X FRIEND TO THE WORKING MAN Five years ago I was so troubled with kidney trouble and inflammation of the bladder that I had to lease working my farm. Ijfe looked dark to me until I heard of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root through a cured friend. I tried a bottle and began to feel better at once. After using five or six bottles I felt fine and (have continued to work as I had before my affliction.
