Big Verdict Against Firestone.1The
biggest verdict ever given py court IN
day afternoon by a jury, of which w.
b. Fletcher was foreman, by direction
of Judge Peurifoy. 1t was for Sl2l,-
392O5, in favor of the Marlboro Cotton
mills against the Firestone Tire ana
Rubber company Of Akron, Ohio.
II was stated by Claude Gore, presi-
dent of the Marlboro Cotton mills, that
in 1919 the Marlboro Cotton mills con-
tracted to sell to the Firestone Tire &
Rubber company lot of tire fabric at
Sl55 Il pound. When the decline IN
prices came in 1920. the Firestone COM
pany failed and refused TO take large
part Of the fabric contracted for. by
reason of the decline in the price Of 90
cents a pound, and the failure Of the
FireStone company TO take the fapflc,
the cotton mills claimed a loss OF aoout
$4,000. This with interest amounted
To the amount of the verdict.
The cotton mills were represented by
ID. ID. McCOll. The FrCstone company
was not represented. In fact, ii ignor-
ed the trial, claiming that the cotton
mills had no right To sue them mere;
thai the South Carolina court had no
Jurisdiction of the case, and that theE
could be sued only in Ohio.

the attention to the Sabbath schools
that they deserve, according to a
prominent layman. A superintendent
of Sabbath school work has been need
ed for some years. but nothing has yet
been done Last year there were 1850
persons received on profession or falth,
which is the largest number ever re-
ceiyed. The general assembly has urg-
cd the Gynods to employ full time
synOdical manager to be responsible
for putting on the annual every men,
ber canvass" for benevolent funds.
This campaign has been managed for
several years by the Rev. E. h. Giles
pie, D. D., pastor of the First Presby-
terian church Of Yorkville, and this
synod has been ore Of the leading
synods in beneficent work. DR.. Gill
Iespie having done most efficient work,
at the same time carrying Ion bis pas
toral work 1t is thought by some that
the business depression is going to al
feet the beneficent subscriptions and
that this work should be followed up
through the entire year in order TO
secure the best results and this will
take q mans entire time. The hrst IN
dication that the church seems to be
! facing a decline in benevolent receipts
was the report Of the foreign mission
| receipts for August, the reporIS sHo"-
ing a falling off of $4,000 in the Au-
gust receipts and $4,000 in the Sep
tember receipts over the previous year.
The assemb'y's home mission COM
mittee reports a decrease in receipts OF
| $4,000 for August and September.
| Church leaders are giving much con-
Germ to the shortage Of ministers.
There are 293 Presbyterian churches
in the synod of South Carolina, Sc OF
which are without pastors. Many
pastors have two, three and four
| churches, so there are many churches
that have no services and many more
that have only one or two services
month. Some feel that a larger use
should be made of the layrnen OF the
church, though there seems 70 be some
opposition and much indifference to
the development Of laymen for this
work. it is said. There are several
laymen's organizations in the south that
are doing effective evangelistic work,
and the movement seems to be grow
ing. There are some that hold that
one reason for the small membership
of the Presbyterian church in COM
parison with other churches is due to
the fact that the best use is not being
made Of the laymen. The average
pastors salary in the synod is S1,S64.
