C.—Defeat of Presbyterian union — already shown by an independent poll— may come by an even wider margin than the pollsters expect. That, as least appears to be the trend in the Presbyterian Church, U. S. (Southern) where Dr. Herbert Spaugh Everyday Counselor Every so often we read something about the “forgotten man/’ Sometimes he is designated as the working man and once I saw him designated as the minister. Usually the forgoten man is a group the public generally takes for granted or overlooks. I wonder if our men and women in military service don’t fall in this class. Those who have the responsibility for the church’s minis try to service men and women say that the indiffer ence of the church to this need is one of their great- 11 est problems. Writing on this subject, the editor of one of our church magazines says, “Very few de nominations are doing anything to keep in touch with service men or to provide adequate helps for the chaplains. The Roman Catholic church is one group that is really on the job in this matter but most Protestant churches are woefully negligent. Earlier this year the National 'Denominational Ex ecutives’ Section of the National Council of Church- I es’ Division of Christian Education gave this matter Dr. Spaugh top priority on the agenda but time and again it was admitted that what the denomination does is largely dependent on the local church. Do you pray—and back up your prayer with ac tion—for service men?” As a former GI, and later a chaplain, the service man has a warm place in my heart. Each Sunday at the eleven o’clock service in our Little Church on the Lane we set apart a portion of our service as a period of prayer fo our service men, for the nation, for peace, and for those who are ill in body, mind, or spirit. We pray for our ser vice men by name. Each day at the noon day prayer call, which is announced by chimes from the church tower, we do the same. May I make an appeal to the readers of this column to urge that prayer be offered in your churches for your service men. They are a very important part of yoiir church. If it were not for them and those who have worn the uniform before them, youl would not have your comfortable church in which to worship. Don’t forget our service men. Christmas is coming, and many of them are going to spend it on foreign shores or at bases and camps far removed from their homes. Now is the time for you to be think ing about them. Their Christmas gifts should be on the way, if they are stationed overseas. At twelve o’clock each day you can hear Charlotte's radio statiohs issue a prayer call for our servke men,* for peace in the world and our nation. President Eisenhower has already issued his proclamation for Na tional Thanksgiving Day. He urges that prayer be an important part of our Thanksgiving observance. Be sure that your prayers in clude our young men and women in military service who are holding open the doors of our churches. They are doing it subject to many trials and temptations. Give them your best. the poll showed union would be defeated in failure of unionists to capture the necessary three- fourths majority. At stake is the proposed union of the Southern Church, the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A. (Northern) and the United Pres byterian Church of North America. The poll, conducted by the Presbyterian Outlook in Rich mond, Va., showed at that time the union would be defeated in the Southern Church. The Outlook, generally regard ed as pro-union in editorial poli cies, polled all the ministers and one elder from every church in the^ denomination. On the basis of the presby tery-by-presbytery straw ballot, 35 presbyteries were seen frown ing gn union with 49 favoring if. To win the union issue, the pro-union side would have to carry 63 presbyteries. To date, m actual voting, 11 presbyteries have voted against union and only one for the merger. At that, the voting within the presbyteries them selves has been far greater in ration against union than the poll had indicated. Results of the church-wide poll showed that, of those who re sponded, ministers would favor union 1,145 to 499 and clerks of session (the elder polled) 949-556 agkinst union. However, 1,310 ministers and 2,228 elders did not respond, an indication, anti-union leaders say that they did not wish to take part in the poll conducted by a pro-union publication and ac counting for the wide margin by which results of the poll have missed the actual votes taken. For example: East Alabama union recently; whereas; the poll Presbytery voted 55 to 10 against showed only 29 negative votes but reported all 10 favorable votes in advance. And, in Central Mississippi Presbytery, the vote was 64 to 9 against union, while the poll showed an expected vote of only 43 against and 17 for. In the only presbytery favor ing union to date, Texas-Mexi- can Presbytery voted 19 to 8 in favor of union while the poll showed a 19 to 4 vote. The poll was published May 31, 1954. Since that time, the op ponents of union already have won half the minimum number (22) of presbyteries required to defeat the union.

Laurens, Nov. 12—Before final adjournment of general sessions court last week, the following grand juriors were drawn as holdovers to serve on the 1955 grand jury: James W. Culbert son, Jesse L. Poole, J. H. Patton, A. W. Wallace, Dial C. Gray and S. B. Owens, Jr. In its final presentment the grand jury mixed praise with some criticisms, recommended that the three chain gangs in the county, “whose condition, gener ally speaking, are bad”, should Crop Volume Outlook Drops 2% In State Columbia, Nov. 15 — South Carolina’s prospective 1954 crop volume dropped another two per cent last month. The Federal-State Crop Re porting Service said yesterday ; lower expectations for the com yield than was predicted a month ago counted for the drop from 36 to 38 per cent less than 1953 crop volume. This also would be 44 per cent less than the 1943-50 10-year average. Agricultural Statistician Frank O. Black said the severity of the year’s crop drop, due to drought was lessened by good to excel lent production of spring grains. He anticipates that the final 1954 ‘figures for crop volume will be not more than 25 per cent less than last year. Reduced acreage' for many crops, coupled with the drought, has been the deciding factor. Oates, rye and grain sorghum are the only crops larger than last year’s. Preliminary estimates on pro duction and prices indicate the total crop volume this year will be worth about 260 million com. pared with last year’s 324 million. be consolidated into one. It re commended that the consolidated gang be at the present site of the wtute gang, “provided, however that the races be kept separate and apart.” The recommendation was made in the report of the chain gang committee, composed bf Jim J. Collins, chairman, Jesse L. Poole and T. L. Johnson, and which, along with other com mittee reports, was made a part of the presentment. Reasons for the consolidation were given as economies in the number of guards and the sav ing on equipment and maint enance. Other recommendations of the chain gang committee included discontinuance of a “prevailing custom” of allowing prisoners weekend furloughs, and that some system be set up whereby the public work “for the benefit of the public generally could be more equally distributed, rather than doing too much special work for special beneficiaries”. The committee praised the guards in the Fork Section gang for their “good services and for keeping everything in first-cUss condition” considering the avail able supplies. The jail committee commended the supervisor and commission ers for the excellent paint job on the jail; commended the sheriff for the excellent shape of the yard and grounds; said the jail was in sanitary condition; re commended that the ration al lowance for dieting prisoners be increased in accordance with the increased cost of foods, and sug gested the installation of hoisters or elevators for carrying food to prisoners which, the committee said, now has to be carried up three flights of stairs. The committee on law enfor cement recommended that the sheriff be given two extra de puties so that the office could be kept open all night and that the sheriff shall have “a sufficient force at all times to keep the county patrolled and the law properly enforced”. It also re commended that the pay of grand and petit jurors be in creased from $5.00 to $10.00 per day and that they be paid mile age for every day they attend court. The audit committee reported that after examining the county audit they found that “our county government has been operated on a business-like and efficient manner during the past two years, with a few minor ex ceptions”. An audit was not made last year. The committee made reference to several offi cers and page numbers but as the audit was not made a part of the presentment the recom mendations are not included in the newspaper report. The com mittee directed attention to what it called “particular reference” to recommendations in the audit as to “purchasing and dispensing petroleum products, also in re gard to feeding prisoners on the chaingang”. tion and sale of 1966 autos.
