COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
Are the courts beginnig to meddle in church affairs? Some
days ago a Presbyterian elder brought me some news; he has
a connection with the Baptist and had just read in a Presby
terian paper something that was a puzzle to him. Frankly,
it was incredible to me and I began to imagine how the
courts of North Carolina became interested in a bit of dis
sension in a Baptist church.
Perhaps a word of explanation is in order for our friends
tober, Georgia now has a sheep population of 22,000.
Farmers wanting to import sheep can get a loan or make
arrangements for 100 per cent of the c6st, at an average in
terest rate of 6 percent with 18 months to pay. Some South
ern banks have made the great bulk of $150,000 in loans so
far for sheep importing. 1
About 30 farmers a day query a bank, or the University
of Georgia to ask about getting into the sheep business. And
several dozen farmers a week stop at the experimental farms
for a closer look at sheep prospects. Besides providing a day-
by-day research lab for the budding sheep industry, the
farms are good advertisements for the buildup campaign.
When crop restrictions first began to idle thousands of
acres of land, many farmers turned to beef production. But
the Georgians argue that lambs are a better bet than beef.
For one thing, lambs can go straight to market from grass
pastures, by-passing the costly finish feeding necessary with
cattle. Also, the nation’s beef supply has been built up in all
regions since the war, and cattle priqps have taken some
sharp spills.
Dixie’s farmers think their climate will enable them to
succeed where Westerners failed. Georgia’s mild crimate and
ample rainfall produces lush pastures .that will support four
sheep to the acre. In the arid west, one sheep has to graze
over eight or nine acres to find enough to eat. Southern
lambs fatten to market weight in five to six months, eating
nothing but grass and their mother’s milk. But their West
ern sheep ranchers must hire extra help to watch flocks

who are not Baptists so there may be a clear understanding roam i n g across thousands of acres, while in the South, small
of the issue. Each Baptist church is completely independent;
there is no authority in or over a Baptist church except the
membership of that church. The Baptists have Associations
and Conventions, which are meetings of delegates, but such
bodies have no authority over even the smallest church.
In order to promote the general religious causes the chur
ches cooperate; such cooperation is in and through Associa
tions and Conventions and the Boards, Committees and Com
missions chosen by such Conventions. But the absolute au
tonomy of each church is part and parcel of th6 Baptists.
Let me quote a report published in the Southern Presby
terian Journal of March 10:
“The N!orth Rocky Mount Baptist church, in North Caro
lina, by a majority vote, withdrew from the Southern Bap
tist Convention. As to the issues involved and the wisdom
of their withdrawal, I have nothing to say. It is their legal
right to withdraw that is the important point. The minority
went to court and the court awarded them the property. The
i§T-
judge claimed that he did not rule on religious beliefs. But
the court defined what a church is, and held that a Baptist
church could not withdraw from the Convention and be in
dependent/. Now, certainly, the definition of the church is a
religious belief on which denominations differ. The Baptists
contrary to the Presbyterians, have always held to indepen
dency and have claimed that there is no ecclesiastical au
thority superior to the local congregation. But the news re
ports say that the North Carolina supreme court has made
it illegal for Baptists to conduct their affairs in accordance
with Baptist doctrine. In spite of the fact that the minority
has won a legal case in favor of the Southern Baptist Con
vention, we wonder whether the Convention in good cons
cience can accept the verdict. Will they insist on retaining
the local property at the cost of having their beliefs on the
nature of the church‘settled by the civil government?”
The Southern Baptist Convention has nothing to do with
the property of any Baptist church. The decision of the N.
C. supreme court is clearly founded in ignorance of a cardinal
principle of Baptists.
I know nothing about the dissension in the Baptist brother
hood in North Carolina, nor am I concerned about it, be
cause, as a Baptist myself, I have no right to participate in
the affairs of any Baptist church except the one in which I
holl membership. Very likely the learned judges thought the
Southern Baptist Convention was a Supreme Court for
Baptists; but they don’t know us Baptists, we have no Su
preme Court except the majority of the membership of each
church, present and participating.
n jYea, verily!
Do you know Walterboro ? Although a spacious boulevard
runs through the town, one of the g?eat highways of our
State, most of the retail business is carried on in a narrow
street which brings to mind Charleston and the towns of
Europe. i
I walked the length of that street and was attracted by
the handsome places of business, broad inviting store fronts.
I began my little walk after calling on Editor Smoak, who
had the good fortune to be out, probably getting items for
his extraordinary paper. And the people on the streets spoke
as though I were an old*friend, courteous and hospitable folk
that they are. I had the pleasure of a few minutes with my
esteemed friend, L. M. Neale, in his sanctum in the radio
station. I had just passed through the splendors of subur
ban Walterboro, whose multiplicity of tourist establishments
make of it a white-way of its own.
I did not see my old team-mate, Joseph M.’Moorer; nor
did I see another former associate, Col. Heber Padgett. I
wondered if the W. C. Pearcey is the man I knew so pleas
antly in Orangeburg.
I am planning a few more such trips—to Beaufort, Aiken,
Bennettsville, Greenwood, Newberry -(most happy to have
you Colonel—Ed.), Clinton and Greenville.
On my way home I dropped by the sanctum of Editor Ma-
gill, in St. George. And we swapped the time of day, though
I had to leave before he could tell me all the great things of
old Dorchester county.
My occasional visits to my newspaper and radio comrades
always refreshes me and renews my zeal for our fine old
state, now breaking out in a new and more vigorous youth.
| If we may not plant tobacco and cotton shall we raise ^
sheep? As most of you may know, farmers are given allot
ments which entitle them to plant a certain number of acres
of tobacco, or cotton, or both. For example, I have in mind a |
farmer who bas 212 acres of cropland; he may plant y 3.1
acres of tobacco and 48 acres of cotton. What will he do with
the remaining 160 acres, more or less? Shall he plant corn,
oats, wheat? Even then he would have acres idle. Shall he
use the land for sheep?
' “More than 100 farmers scattered across Georgia are con
vinced they can make a go of sheep raising, a farm activity
that’s discouraged many of their rural neighbors in the
West. The Georgia farmers figure they have two big fac
tors working for them: Land diverted from cotton under
Federal crop restrictions and a cure for a parasite that’s kill
ed sheep in the South since Civil war days.
Sheep can turn grass into wool and meat, giving us a new
cash crop,, explains one of the converts to sheep raising. He
pastures 200 sheep in lush grass growing on a worn out hill
side fields diverted from cotton by acreage restrictions.
Many Southern farmers face the same problem—finding
a cash crop for land they’ve had to take out of cotton. Geor
gia’s 1955 cotton allotment is 950,000 acres, against 1.2 mil
lion acres last year and a 1941-50 average of 1.4 millions.
Thruout the South, cotton can be planted this year on only
7.9 million acres, compared with a 1941-50 average of 10.9
-Inu-n. The folks who farmed this idle land are keeping a
eye on the attempt by Georgia farmers to become
part-time shepherds.
Here are some of the things being done in Georgia to
build up a sheep industry:
Sixteen experimental sheep farms have been set up in
past few months. Some 7,000 sheep have been brought |
the State by nearly 100 different farmers since last Oc-
