FIDBNCKH TO CLERGYMEN 1 MotU l'uitori Hold Tkoai 8aoc4 hen a Port of Bfrfritool Overnight Bharlotte, Peb. 21.?A large maBy of the clergymen of Charlotte Bvered "No" to the question: W?i J B Thomas P. Perdue justified in Baling the confession alleged to Be been made to him by Mrs. Bm Petty Gatlin, now on trial for , B life at Wentworth, that she had Bdered her father? Several of those interviewed deBed to express themselves on the Bific question, but voiced their Bvs generally to the effect that the Bfidenqe of a penient should be B inviolate. Bnly ohe minister felt that Rev. Bdue was entirely right in revealB the alleged confession. Btev. Robert B. Owens, pastor of Be Episcopal Church of the Holy Bnforter: "He had no right what- ( Br to betray that confidence. What Bo become of the relations between Bastor and his congregation if the minister fail* to bold inviplate the confidences of members of that coi?K'egation ? She came to him for advice and comfort. What he should have done was to do his best to persuade her to make her -confession public, lie had absolutely no right to reveal what she told him." Dr. John Fielding Crigler, pastor of St. Mark's Lutheran church: 1 don t think a minister ought to violate the confidence reposed in him a professional way. I think he should have laid the matter on her conscience, or secured her permission for him to divluge the secret she intrusted to him." Kev. W. W. Peele, pastor of the first Methodist church: Anything that is told me as a minister, a pastor, I hold as vary, very, sacred. It would have to be under very exceptional circumstances for me to divulge anything told me in confidence, as a minister. I am not saying what I would have done under the, circumstances, nor that I am blaming Mr. Pardue." Kev. G. Ray Jordan, pastor of Dilworth Methodist church: A personal and professional confidence ought to be very sacred. There may be certain circumstances and conditions that would make it necessary to persuade the individual involved that a public confession would 'be the right thing to do. There may be very exceptional extenuating circumstances, but in general a minister ought not to accept a confidence unless he intends to keep it." W. R. Tolbert Killed. Augusta', Ga., B^b. 22.?(Moonshiners' vengearne?| claimed the kfe of W. R. Tolbert, 26, federal prohibition agent, near Harlem, Ga., today, when he and two Columbia county officers were fired on from ambush after raiding two unattended stills. D. Fuller, another of the trio, was shot in the arm by the assassins, who fled through" the swamps, leaving a high powered rifle behind. Tolbert, Fuller arid W. S. Harrison were returning to their car after a series of raids when an unexpected volley rang out from an underbrush screen. Harrison, who had lagged a bit, ran to the scene to find Tolbert shot through the heart and Fuller wounded. Tolbert was a native of South Carolina, and a member of a well known Abbeville family. His brother is United States District Attorney for the Western District of South Carolina. The young prohibition agent had been a member of the University of South Carolina track team.

Itemii FumlitKtd by Pupil* of School ti Mr aim of Encouragement (The Chronicle in this week giving space to school news of the Antiocn community. The teachers and scholars expect to make this a regular feature of this paper? The Chronicle u**, ing it as time and space will permit)/ jv In starting out the pupils say thai they want to first express their thanks to the editor and force of The Chronicle for making this column possible and to the many readers would ask for their lenient sympathy and encouragement in this their first public appearance, trusting that later results may prove worthy of this leniency. History of The Class of '28. i When we entered high school," we had the same noisy set of Freshmen, nothing unusual to boast of. The 8th grade consisted of the following members; Khna Shiver, Alma Pate, Florrie Outlaw, Lloyd Davis, Olin Arnold, lsa Lee Stokes, Hill Marsh, Bell Pate and Henrietta Joye. After many "ups" and "downs" we finally pushed forward until /we reached the 9th. grade. In this grade we had some pupils from ths Schrock's Mill School to join us. These were; Sallie Wynn Johnson, Harry Johnson and Flora Pate. However; for various reasons, all these did not enter the tenth grade. The tenth grade consisted of: Sallie Wynn Johnson, Harry Johnson, Elma Shiver, Lloyd Davis, lsa Lee Stokes, Alma Pate and Henrietta Joye. We also had two others to enter this grade with us which were: Lawton Self and Irby Outlaw. Thus we trudged along until we reached the eleventh grade. All entered except two, which werg;,-Alma Pate and Inby Outlaw. But we also gained another one; Sallie Belle Hinson. The eleventh grade consists of the following members. Lloyd Davis Harry Johnson, Sallie Wynn Johnson, Lawton Self, Elma Shiver, lsa Lee Stokes, Sallie Belle, Hinson and Henrietta Joye. We all hope to receitfip our diplomas together this May. Henrietta Joye/i " 'a?. Being a Good Neighbor. To be a good neighbor at school we must not throw paper on the floor and keep around our desk untjdy. Do not hit each other. Be kind to your class-mates and do not shake one's desk while they are writing. To be u good neighbor at home, obey your father and mother and keep it spick and span. Always meet your friends with a smile. Never say harsh things about people. To be a good neighbor in one's neighborhood, we should attend church, be a useful member when called upon. If you have a cow do not let it go on his crops and destroy them and other things which he has worked hard to get to grow. - , Then they will think you are a fine Useful neighbor. Peggy Holland Grade Th ree. A live school newspaper or page in a local paper may serve a number of purposes. It may be an effective publicity agent, informing the general public as to the affairs and progress of the school. It may make possible a closer parent-teacher cooperation. It will serve as an educator to those who take part in its preparation. It's contributors will naturally practice what they hav^ learned from text-books The student finds in it a very satisfactory medium of expression. Unusual journalistic talent may be discovered. New poets, new novelists may make their beginning in the school paper. Its preparation will furnish a beneficial diversion from ordinary school routine. In other words a paper serves as an advertiser, an educator, and as a diversion, and should be encouraged. Lloyd Davis. Antioch Basketball. Antioch Feb. 10.?In a slow game of basketball on the Antioch court, the high school girls defeated the faculties Friday afternoon, 14-2. The girls outclassed their opponents throughout the game. No individual player on either side could be classed as a star player, but the work of Katie Arledge and Evelyn Branham was beat for the winners while Miss Caroline Burriss, and Miss Annie Pate played best for the teachers. The game was not witnessed by any visitors juBt the school children, for it was the first playing for the teachers since their high school days, and we considered it as A practice game. ' Personals " The mid-year examinations are now "a thing of the past," and we are perfectly willing to let them be in the past. The very bad weather Friday caused us to miss the Radio Program, but it has been announced again for Friday night, February 24th. Hope the weather man holds off. The H. D. C. Girls all went to Camden for Rally Day. They reported a great' time. Mr. Sanders, the county agent held a meeting with the boy's club February 24th.

Boy Killed I'nder Machine A Cheraw, Feb. 25.?Ray Long was instantly killed here last night when a Ford car with its front wheels off crushed the box that held it up and fell upon him. One part of the steering gear pinned the youth's chest down and another iron rod broke his neck. Ray and John, sons of Eugene Long, were working on their car in a garage and had the front part elevated and the wheels off. Both were under the auto. When nearly through Ray took hold of Borne part of the vehicle to ease himself out. The car swayed. The box crumbled.
