DEATH OF MRS. GODFREY

Death claimed Mrs. George w.
Godfrey early Monday morning, Oc-
tober 18th, 1920 at hospital in Col
umbia to which she was taken some
three months ago for treatment. The
body was sent to Abbeville arriving
here over the Southern Railway at 7
o'clock Monday night, and was taken
to the Godfrey home on South Main
street, where it rested until Tuesday
morning.
Funeral services were held at the
home Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock
being conducted in the absence of her
pastor by Rev. C. E. Peele Of the
Methodist Church.
Mrs. Godfrey was a daughter of
Mr.. Byrd Grant, of Oconee County.
Twenty years ago she was married
to Mr.. George W. Godfrey. Soon af-
forwards they moved to Abbeville
where she has since lived. She was
consistent member of the Baptist
church and had many friends among
it's members and her neighbors.

BRANDED FOR LIFE.

Joe jackson ana Clauoe WILLIAMS,
suspended baseball players of the
Chicago American club are finding
out that it is not profitable to be
crooked. The have just been refused
a lease of the ball park which they
sought from the Greenville baseball
club.
jackson confessed that in the
worlds series last year between Chi
cago and Cincinnati, he helped to
throw the games to the latter team,
being bribed to do so by a bunch of
gamblers who were out to make mon
ey by their crooked work.
We have heard lot of fifty cents
dollars, but Joe Jackson and Claude
Williams and the rest of the crooked
bunch will find that the dollars they
took from the gamblers in Chicago
were the cheapest dollars they ever
handled.
The people of the country will for
give a man for many things. Infirmi-
ties of human nature leading to GER
tain offenses not involving breach
of good faith and honest principles
are easily forgiven, perhaps too easi-
ly. But the public will not forgive the
crimen falsi. A man who breaks the
faith, or is unfaithful to a trust, may
as we'll make up his mind that he IS
branded for life. And that is what
these players did. They were guilty
of a breach Of trust towards their
club, towards the other men on their
team who had an interest in the out
come of the series, to their manager,
to the public which paid largesums to
see straight baseball, and most of all
to themselves They even broke faith
with the gamblers who placed money
On them believing that they might be
trusted to play the game as honorable
men.
And nowhere in the whole wide
world will such tactics and such acts
be more severely criticised and long
er remembered than in the Southern
country from which Joe Jackson
Eails. In the South if nowhere else
Joe had as we'll make up his mind that
he is without honor. If he will read
the account of the death of Benedict
Arnold and Of his last words to those
gathered about him, he will learn
that Arnold himself despised and
everybody despises a traitor. Certain
ly Joe may not expect leniency in
the South. The badge of dishonor is
upon him-forever.

CREENVILLE MAN CORRECTS
REPORT IN N. Y. TRIBUNE
(Greenville Piedmont.)


A. M. Jones, of Greenville, in a
communication to the New York Trib-
une, corrects published report Of
the proceedings of the convention of
the American Legion. The following
is taken from The Tribune:
"Your issue of September % con-
tanned a report of the proceedings of
the convention of the American Le-
gion, in which it was stated that
South Carolina voted negatively on
the question of bonus for veterans
for the reason that they did not de-
sire the negroes of the State to bene-
fit thereby. That impression is absurd
sufficiently to demand correction.
"This is the spirit that prompted
South Carolina's vote: We love our
country which gave US our birth and
which affords greater blessings than
those of any other nation. Our homes
are here and to US they are sacred
We do not demand, solicit or expect
money as reward for having defend
ed them. That would be 'Hessianism.
81 will thank you to give space to
this correction.

IMPORTANT CASE DECIDED
Supreme Court Holds Bondsman of
Road Supervisor MeComb of
Greenwood County Not Lii
able for Former
Defaults.

The Supreme Court filed number
of opinions Monday in cases argued
before it at the spring term Of the
court. Some of these were cases Of
considerable Importance. Among
these was the case against American
Surety Company and Fidelity and
Deposit Company, of Baltimore,
brought by the State of South Caro-
lima, for the recovery of alleged loss
es to the state and county on account
of alleged defaults of former Super-
visor and later Road Supervisor Nc
Comb of Greenwood County. 2
The American Surety Company
was bondsman for McComb as Road
Supervisor and the Fidelity and De-
post Company was his bondsmen as
County Supervisor. 1t was alleged in
the complaint that, as Supervisor,
McComb committed a number of
wrongs resulting in loss to the coun-
ty and state in large amounts. 1t was
alleged that as Road Supervisor he
was his own successor in the former
office and that it became his duty to
collect these losses from himself,
and that the bondsman of McComb
as Road Supervisor is responsible for
the losses occurring during the term
as Supervisor, :,
The American Surety Company
demurred to the complaint so far as
it was concerned contending that it
was not responsible for the defaults
of McComb as County Supervisor
and that under the law it was not
his duty as Road Supervisor to col
lect moneys from himself or recover
property which had been misappropri-
ated during the former term of Office.
It also demurred on the grounds that
the suit should have been brought in
the name of the County of Green
wood and not in the name of the
state, and that there was defect of
parties in that the personal represen-
tative of McComb was not made. a
party defendant.
The action was brought in Richland
County and was heard there last
spring by Judge Ernest Moore, who
sustained all the contentious of the
American Surety Company. The Su-
preme Court opinion is by Associate
Justice Hydrick. 1t is held that so
much of the order sustaining the de-
murrer as held that the suit should
have been brought in the name of the
county, and that the personal repre-
sentative of McComb should have
been made party to the suit, was
erroneous. On the merits of the case
the courts holds, however, that no
cause of action is stated against Am
erican Surety Company, and that it
is not liable for any of the defaults
of McComb as, County Supervisor,
and no defaults being alleged during
the term of office as Road Supervisor
it is not liable at all. The complaint,
is, therefore, dismissed so far as that
company is concerned.
The action was brought by Solici.
tor Blackwell and Hon. VIM. N.
Graydon as attorneys for the state.
The American Surety Company
was represented by VIM. P. Greene.
