RURAL SURVEY OF VITAL IMPORTANCE Religious Statistics Are Secured From County To Be Used By Local Churches HEARTY CO-OPERATION ASKED jlnformation To Be Gathered In Every Part Of The County According To Communities Will Have Large Significance ??? The rural survey department of the. jlnterchurch World Movement' has I [been organized to assemble informa,tion and analyze conditions from a religious standpoint in every county in the state, according to J. A. J. Brock, rural survey supervisor for the state of South Carolina, with headquarters at 904 National Loan and Exchange Bank Building, Columbia, S. C. In order for the churches of a community to carry on their work of evangelizing the territory in which they are situated and to contribute their share towards the complete evangelization of the world, which is the ideal in every Christian heart, it /Is necessary that the actual conditions which exist in each county be discovered. Because of the vital importance of this work, the movement is calling u*>on the pastors of all d3nominations and others who are informed relative to religious conditions to render all the assistance possible towards the completion of the work. This information, after being tabulated by experts, is taken back to the comities, where the several Protestant denominations with churches in the county co-operatively study it and decide on the county's church , needs. Recommendations are made by the county churches of each denomination that so desires, to the denominational home mission, Sunday school and other boards so that these boards can co-operate intelligently and effectively with the local county church organizations. The Interchurch World Movement is attempting to do its work on a democratic basis. It is neither dictating nor attempting to dictate to any church or denomination what shall be done. The denominations in each county must decide unanimously among themselves on any joint county program for church betterment before it is adopted or undertaken with the co-operation of the Interchurch World Movement. The survey department is designed to help build up and meet the needs of the local churches through the local and county denominational interests. An Interchurch World Movement survey of a county develops facts as to the county's geographical location and | the general character of its agricultural, commercial and industrial life, its road system and means -of intercommunication, public school system and other educational institutions, wel iare ana oenevolent institutions, other organizations and individuals engag ed in public service for the entire county. Accompanying a general survey ol a county is a more detailed survey ol each community, a community being ! regarded fs a unit of territory anc population characterized by common economic and social experiences anc 'interests. The community survey designates the outline and location of the com munity on information acquired from storekeepers, bankers and other in formed persons. Territory not defi nitely included within the limits ol any trade community is considered ir connection with the communities tc which it is contiguous and to whici ;it is most closely related. Thus nc area is omitted:,in the enumeration olj ! population and other statistical in ; formation. The survey takes accounl of the community's economic condi tions, such as natural resources, chiel sources of income, soil, climate and ;market conditions, relations of farmers and business men, industrial data etc. The social life and organizations of the community are covered in detail, together with other information to throw light on the state of the social mind.

The triple surveys?county, community and church?assemble all information that'may be needed to aid the individual churches and denominations in working out their present problems and future programs of de velopment, so that wasted effort may be eliminated and unproductive activities of each denomination may be transferred to productive fields. The need of such a systematic study of church conditions is apparent by the results of investigation already made in some sections of the South, if the churches are to accomplish the greatest possible amount of good. The conditions found to exist in some quarters are rather startling. In one county in the South, for instance, ther? are 44 churches, of which 14 are dead and only 16 of which saintain Sunday schools. AAMK IS TO EXPRESS PURPOSE Columbia, February 14.?That it might more fully explain the idea for which it was organized and is functioning, the board of control of the South Carolina Landowners' Association has changed the name of the organization to the "South Carolina Development Board." and the attorney of the board. Charles H. Barron, of Columbia, will apply to Secretary of State William. Banks Dove in the next few days for an amendment to the charter of the association carrying out the purposes of the resolution. The board of control has added three new names to its membership: Charles H. Barron, an attorney of Columbia: Courtney Campbell, of Forreston. general manager of the Carolina Stock Farms: IT. F. Barkerding. Chairman of the Committee on marketing of the Charleston city council, and J. a. Padgett. of Walterboro, State Senator from Colleton County. f There were three purposes for the changing of the name of the organization : 1. It was in response to requests from governmental agencies and civic, commercial and trades organizations, who desire to clear general developmental purposes through the medium of the association. 2. That the name might give a clearer idea of the purposes for which the organization was formed and is functioning". 3. To clear away a misconception in certain quarters that the oranization was for the purpose of promoting real estate propositions and disposing of "cut over" lands. The board of directors of the Columbia Chamber of Commerce, in resolutions passed by the body, has given endorsement to the South Carolina Development Board and its activities. These resolutions read: "Whereas, the board of directors of the Columbia Chamber of Commerce, after hearing a full explanation of the broad, general plan of the Southern Settlement and Development Organization, of Baltimore. Md.. for the development of the entire South, and. "W^hereas. a further and full explanation of the South Carolina Development Board, successors to the South Carolina Landowners' Association, was made by George R. Wheeler. Manager. and especially explaining the for mation and the great need of home cash markets to take carc of the diversified farm products the educational forces of the State are teaching the LEXINGTON PROOF Should Convince Every Lexington Reader.
