Defeat Of Presbyterian Union May Come By
Wider Margin Than Poll Indicated Last Year
Weaverville, N. 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.

CLINTON, 8. C.
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”.
