Widow of Quarles Will Sue
County.

Mccormick. Aug. 23.-Through
her attorney, F. A. Wise of the local
bar, jamie Bell Quarles, the widow
and administrator Of Herbert Quar-
les, negro, has formally made de-
mand upon the county of McCor-
mick for the penalty of $4,000 for
the alleged lynching of Herbert
Quarles in June of last year.
Herbert Quarles was the negro,
who it was alleged, criminally as
saulted a highly respectable white
woman as she went to a mail box
ear her home about one mile from
Plum Branch. The negro was hunted
for two days and n night and when
found admitted having committed
the crime and was put to death.
The widow now makes demand up
on the county for a penalty Of ST.
900 and states that unless the mat,
ter is compromised suit will be in.
stituted for the full sum.

The Layman's Viewpoint.

I read in many newspapers and
magazines that the church is losing
its influence, and l believe this to be
true. 1t is true because the mar in
the pulpit has not developed as rap
idly as the man in the pew.
Years ago, when the people were
ignorant and superstitiops. the
preacher and the doctor were the
great men of the community, and
their opinions were swallowed whole.
Preachers Of today are doubtless
just as able as those who preached
in earlier generations, but the folks
out in front have been to school and
have learned to think. Most of them
think they know as much as the
preacher knows. Some of them think
they know more.
This is a condition, not a theory;
and the only way to restore the wan
ing influence of the church is to fill
the pulpit with men big enough to
demand the respect of the men in the
pews. All men, everywhere, respect
brains; and while the Book speaks
of the foolishness Of preaching,
cannot believe that God desires
preachers who are foolish.
How, then, shall we obtain great
preachers? Well, how do corpora
lions obtain great executives? This
is a practical age, and a salary OF
$4,000 hires a three-thousnd-dollar
man. So with one thousand dollars
and twenty thousand dollars. One
price buys a jitney and another price
buys a Packard. And congregations
that scold because their preacher is
MT much and then travail to raise
six hundred dollars wherewith to pay
him give me a large three cornered
pain.-Robert CUTLER in Baptist
Courier.

Our State Shot Putter:

# has remained for a South Caro-
lima woman to do what nc South Car
DINA man has done-win honors in
an international athletic contest.
Not only did Miss Godbold, of Estill,
a graduate of Winthrop college last
year, break a worlds record at Paris
contest in putting shot, but she was
the outstanding star of the Ameri-
can team, winning a greater number
of points than any of her American
sisters. She flung the shot a distance
of more than 20 meters and did it
with either hand, showing remark
able ambidextry. By comparison
with Ralph Roses or Pat Melon
AIDS shot putting of SIS meters Miss
Godbold's record throw does not
seem excellent, but it must be re-
membered that she is a woman and
that women can not near approach
man in the field events of sport. No
other woman has done so well with
the shot.
Rarely does an athlete qualify
both in field and track events, but
Miss Godbold proved to be a runner
of some ability as we'll as an expon-
ent of muscularity. Ralph Rose or
Pat Mcdonald probably could not
sprint 800 or 1000 meters in a day,
but Miss Godbold finished fourth
in both these contests although she
had not had special training for the
competition. Some of her cohorts
who were expected to scintillate in
the running matches fell by the way
side. Had they come up to the expec-
tations the American team would
have finished first instead Of second
in the meet.
So far as The News athletic know
ledge goes no South Carolina man
has represented the United States in
Olympic contests. The honor of Miss
Godbold is therefore significant be-
cause it was not only an achieve
ment for her to be eligible to COM
pete in Paris, but it vas an accom-
plishment of the first magnitude to
break a worlds record and to be the
Individual star of the meet upon her
first appearance. Miss Godbold has
brought fame to the state as well
as to herself and to Winthrop col
lege. If her career should ever lead
her into matrimony she will doubt
less be able to WELD a rolling pin in
a convincing fashion.
