Rev. J. W. Spillers, pastor of Cal vary Baptist Church, extends an in vitation to the people in the vicinity of Davidson street to attend this church. Mr. Spillers states, “For a num ber of years we have been looking forward to establishing of a Baptist church in this part -of the city and now we are happy to begin this work." He also said, “The membership of Calvary Baptist Church has made an unselfish sacrifice in order to build this mission church and it will mean a reduction in the total pro gram of Calvary Baptist Church. But the people who stay with the mother church are ahowing a won derful Christian spirit. They feel that the two churches will do a far greater work than just one church.

These, he said, have received our cordial reception and have re ceived our earnest attention On the other hand, we have submitted a list of suggestions for the approval of the staff and have never heard from them. The letter from Mr. Boyd to Dr. Walker, made available to the press, said; Doctor James Walker. President Laurens County Medical Society Clinton. South Carolina Dear Dr. Walker: Laurens County Hospital is faced with the prospect of having its en tire active medical staff with the exception of one doctor stop render ing services to charity patients in the hospital after October 18th. Ef forts are being made to settle dif ferences that have brought the threat of this action by this group of the medical staff, and K is hoped that they can be settled before that deadline. In the event they cennot be, it would be appreciated very much if you would advise the Laur ens County Medical Society that un less notified otherwise, we will not have an attending physician to care for staff patients after that date “Staff patients will continue to be admitted on the same basis as pre viously, except for the assignment of the attending physician.
