THE WORLD S MOST WIDELY USED DEVOTIONAL GUIDE
Read Acts 5:1-11
Unto whomsoever ranch is given,
ranch required. (Luke 12:4$)
of him shall be
The above verse speaks to us of our accountability to God. We
have been, and always are, recipients of God’s love and bless
ings. Unfortunately, we do not ghre Him back the best and Hie
most that we have. We tend to become Hkp Ananias Sap-
phira; we try to hide from Him what we can give and ought to
give to advance His cause.
It is very easy to sing:
“Had I a thousand hearts to give,
Lord, they should all be Thine.”
Ye$ we find it very hard to give Him the best that we have
in life—talent, time, strength, service, money. Often we give
Him only our scraps.
In consideration of all God is ever doing for us, we need to
recognize our accountability to Him and think what it means.
If every Christian would be willing to give himself and his all in
the advancement of God’s kingdom, what a different world this
would be!
. . PRAYER
Our heavenly Father, help ns to be aware that
Then art the giver of every good and perfect gift.
Then hast continued to bless our lives, though we do
not deserve Thy divine blessing. Forgive ns of our
selfishness and self-centeredness. Gnat that we may
give our best and do onr best for Thee. In Jesus’
name. Amen.

Letter To The Editor
Editor, The Chronicle:
There are three things that
ought to be called to the public’s
attention in connection with the
.present GREAT COMMOTION,
EXCITEMENT. ETC., ETC.
about CIVIL RIGHTS, ETC.,
ETC.
The first is that we don’t want
to go so far so fast that all of
us, white and black, yellow and
red, etc. and et al, lose all our
rights to a dictatorship and pre
pare ourselves as a perfect prey
for communism, facism, etc.
Ask the Jew who helped Hitler
and Communism.
We must not permit our over
zealous preachers, extreme re
ligionist, dogooders, social ex
perimenters, those who are so
broad minded they have no depth
of thought, those who think so
deep they have no breadth of
thought and consequently are
wandering around in the lunatic
fringe ignorant of the stern real
ities of life, under the lash of
the demagogic politician siphon
the leaders of our negro churches
away from the negro churches
to our white churches and leave
the masses of the negroes with
out leadership. It would be far
better for this white group above
described to leave their white
churches and join the colored
churches. By doing this they
would save their white churches
from dissension, prove their sin
cerity, have a great opportunity
for leadership and service and
achieve their original objective
quicker.
We must^not allow the extrem
ist on either side create an at
mosphere of distrust, antagonism
and you may say hatred between
the races. That is exactly what
the agitators, the organizer for
money, etc. are doing. They are
trying to make the negro look up
on the white man as his natural
enemy, who plans and plots his
destruction and has never done
a thing for the negro. There is
a concerted effort by the dema
gogic politicians of the rest of the
country and the press, et al to
paint the South as a ghetto for
the negro. A yankee told me re
cently that before be came South
he 'thought a negro had to slip up
from a side street .and peep
around the corner to get to see
the main street. This makes it
very necessary for all of us,
black as well as white, who must
live here together, to do every
thing we can to maintain the
fine fellowship and friendship be
tween the individual white and
colored person that the South
has always been noted for. We in
the South have always been
known for our individual friend
ship for the negro while the
North has been known for its
official friendship.
I was born and reared on the
farm with negroes, worked with
them as a farm hand, had them
on my farms, been thrown with
them all my life and have never
had a “hard word” or quarrel
with one. I have always treated
them just as fairly and respect
fully as I have white people. I
charged them cash prices for fer-
tiUm just as I did white ten-
naats, furnished cash for their
Vocwy money without
helped to provide them
far superior to what I had, equal
or superior to what the white
youth has today. I have had a
great part in helping the negro
of the South have a higher stand
ard of living than that of most
people of the world, and I can
not “sit idly by” while the
white man, is being painted as
the ENEMY of the NEGRO just
because he does not eat and
sleep with thee.

ASCS Committeemen
To Be Elected In
Sept. Mail Ballot
Agricultural stablization and
conservation community com
mitteemen will, for the first time
in Laurens county, be elected by
mail in an election to be held in
September, according to H. A.
Ropp, county office manager.
Even though the elections are
some time off, plans are now be
ing made for these elections.
The present county committee
has the responsibility for holding
the elections. ^
A community committee com
posed of a chairman, vice chair
man, regular member, and first
and second alternates will be
elected for each community
Each township has been desig
nated a community, and the
community will follow the exact
lines of the township. The nine
communities (townships) in the
county are: Cross Hill, Dials,
Hunter, Jacks, Laurens, Scuffle-
town, Sullivan, Waterloo, and
Youngs.
The present xommittee shall
nominate at least six farmers as
candidates for community com
mitteemen for each community,
and they may nominate more
than six if they desire to do so
Farmers of the county may nom
inate candidates by petition, pro
vided the nominations are in
writing and signed by at least
six eligible farmers. In addition,
the county committee may nom
inate additional candidates for
community committeemen, if
they desire to do so‘. Community
committeemen must make their
nominations by August 15, and
farmers must make their nomin
ations by August 5, and mail or
hand the nominations to the
county office manager by August
5th.
No one may vote for more than
one slate in the county. If a
farmer has farms in more than
one community he has a choice
as to which community to vote
in. He will be mailed a ballot for
only one community, but if he
chooses to vote in another com
munity in which he has a farm
he may return the ballot and
request a ballot for the other
community. There will be no
voting by proxy. A partnership
vote may be cast by a partner, a
corporation’s vote by any duly
authorized officer.
The final date for the county
committee to complete the slate
of candidates is August 21, 1963.
In mailing ballots to farmers,
the ASCS office will enclose a
self-addressed envelope and a
blank envelope, along with a bal
lot form containing a list of can
didates.. The candidates will be
listed in alphabetical order ac
cording to surnames, and there
will be five blank spaces on the
ballot for write-in votes. The
farmer will vote his choice froi
the list or write in names of his
choice. He must not vote for
more than five, but he may vote
for five or less. If the farmer
votes for more than five of the
candidates then his ballot Is void,
if he votes for five or less then
his vote will be counted.
When ballots are returned to
the ASCS office sealed in the
blank envelope, the ballots will
be segregated according to com
munities and placed in a box
unopened. All ballots must be re
turned to the ASCS Office, P. 0
Box 478 Laurens, S. C., by or
before September 13, 1963. The
ballots will be tabulated public
ly by the county committee, be
ginning at 9:00 A.M., September
18, by first opening the self-ad-
dressed envelopes, leaving the
blank envelopes unopened and
placing them in a separate box
so that they will lose their iden
tity. After the blank envelopes,
containing the ballots, have been
removed from the self-addressed
envelopes the county committee
will then open the blank envel
opes publicly and tabulate them
The person receiving the highest
number of votes for the com
munity will become the chairman
of the community committee
delegate to the county convention
to elect a county committee, the
person receiving the second high
est number of votes will become
vice chairman and first alter
nate delegate, the third highest
will become the regular member
and second alternate delegate,
the person receiving the fourth
highest will become first alter
nate community committxnn^
and the person receiving the fifth
highest number of votes will be
come the second alternate com
munity committeeman. If there
is a tie, the tie may be broken by
lot, or the county committee may
call another election to break the
tie.
The newly elected chairmen
wfll meet at the ASC& Office, at
9:00 A M., September 20, 1000 to
elect a county committee to seii*
for the yoar beginning Oct
