COM Quite MENTS ON MEN AND THINGS BY SPECTATOR v a question has arisen over the accuracy of press reports of the Southern Baptist Convention in Chicago. One report widely circulated in South Carolina, declared that the Convention adopted resolutions endorsing inter- gration and calling for prosecution of those who persist in maintaining Segregation. Some Ministers tell us that there were no such resolutions. So great a slap at the South cer tainly deserved careful handling by the press, even though the noise and confusion of ten thousand delegates made accurate reporting difficult. The question is whether a re porter was misinformed by some Convention Secretary, or delegate, or merely misunderstood what was being said and done. • I reproduce a second newspaper report as follows: “A move to alter the Southern Baptist Convention’s constitutional provision for autonomy rights of member churches was defeated last week, Dr. Noel M. Taylor, the convention’s second vice president, said, The proposal, by the Rev. James M. Bulman of Spencer, N. C., received only a scattering of votes from 8,600 de legates at the convention’s annual meeting when it was presented Wednesday for passage. There was no debate. Introduced at the convention’s 1956 Kansas City meeting, the amendment had to wait one year for a vote under con vention rules. Commenting on last week’s Chicago convention action, Dr. Taylor said, “There seemed to be no real issue raised; the autonomy clause was considered adequate, and the changes suggested were felt to be unnecessary.” “ A highly reputable minister says that this is inaccurate and misleading; that the Convention really had no such proposal before it. There are so many Baptists in South Carolina that they are as the sands of the sea. Before anyone throws a rock at me let me say that I, too, am one. However, I have the good fortune to know so many saints of other churches that I rejoice in our comradeship in religion. Really I ought to be broad and liberal, yet understanding, sympathetic and fully cooperative, for my brothers and sisters married Catholics, Lutherans, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, and Met hodists. I am a Baptist, but spent ten years in close fellow ship with my Catholic brethern in South America and was President of the Examining Board of a Catholic Univer sity. | - —■ ’ - *** . „ Now about my brethern of the Baptist churches. Churches, not just' church. Do you know why I say that? Each Bap tist Church is a law to itself; each church is wholly, ab solutely, irrevocably independent. Each Baptist Church, whether it be The Citadel Square Church of Charleston, the First Baptist Church of Columbia, or a little church on Santee. Baptists cooperate to form Conventions and Associations, and they have Mission Boards and Commiss ions, but no Board, no Convention, can tell a little remote Baptist Church what it must do. The Pastor has no aut hority and the Deacons have no power. The Baptists have set up a complete democracy, unafraid and unassailable. Now don’t you see that no convention can change that? But I would warn my brethern to be alive, alert and jealous of their rights, for just as surely as the big or little Baptist church is a Sovereign, so are the States (in theory), sovereign, being the pillars on which the Nation was built. Among Baptists Grahamville and Gillisonville are just as independent as the First Church of Greenville. Building Permits July 8: Thomas M. Halfacre, re pairs to dwelling, 2019 Glenn St., $200.

Extension Information Specialist BETTER HOUSES Several years ago Mrs. Marion Paul, our state supervisor of Ne gro home demonstration work, was instrumental in having “Dem onstration House” built deep in a rural area of Williamsburg coun ty. A substantial donation from a national foundation and many gifts from local grbups and indi viduals, both white and colored, made this house possible and fully equipped it for modern living. Better earning power had come ta her people. But folks have to be lead and taught to want the better things that increased earn ings can provide, she said. Hous ing, better housing, was a real need of many. So “Demonstration House” was built and has been constantly used for groups of home demonstration women, 4-H girls, and families to come to for a few days and get their hands into the ways of better living through better housing and better equipment. This house has had far-reach ing effects already, Mrs. Paul tells me. Other states are watch ing it,- and many families have been inspired by visiting there and have gone home and made im provements or built new homes. Some of these use the identical plans of “Demonstration House,” as did the Fausts down on High way 321 in Bamberg County. In a current monthly report the Negro home agent of Cherokee says: “The women who spent the week at the Demonstration House were greatly benefitted, and Mrs. Moda Mathis plans to build her home similar to the Demonstration House.” The Demonstration House idea has gone another step in Fafr- fidld, where the Willing Workers home demonstration club has se lected the home of Mrs. Ella Murphy as their Demonstration House. She has already installed running water, kitchen sink, wall cabinets, and is now applying sheet rock to her house. Ideas are great things. Good ones can accomplish wonders. Looks like Mrs. Paul had a good one when she conceived “Demon stration House.” ARE WE MISSING SOMETHING? A college professor told me he asked a class of 33 freshmen where Chesapeake Bay was. Not one of them knew. Three ventur ed a guess, all wrong. And he said he had a sopho more Who didn’t know the A, C’s. He could read, of course, but had never learned in which order the letters came. Therefore, it was very hard for him to look up a word in the dictionary. Surely those fellows had missed something, as they came along, a sort of satisfying something that gives awareness of things in this world where we live. CHANGE IN GREENVILLE I often speak of change, change in our agriculture. It is every where. Look at Greenville. Coun ty Agent Jones tells me they grew 89,500 acres of cotton in 1928. And the record shows they ginned 51,472 bales from that crop. This year Greenville was allot ted 15,591.6 acres. The put 7,- 887.6 acres of this in the Soil Bank, leaving 7,704 acres to plant. Yes, from 89,500 acres in 1928 to 7,704 .in 1957! And the state planted well over two million acres then. This year we have a bare half million! Change? Boy, we are seeing it. And what’s happening bn cotton’s lost acres is the interesting story now. I write and speak constant ly on that. BEST IN U. S. “The best job in the United States on pasture building is be ing done' here in' South Carolina.” That wasn’t some of us bragging. That was Dr. L. G.

Mrs. Kitchens was the daugh ter of the late John Belton and Mrs. Nettie Neal Moore. For a number of years she had made her home in Whitmire but was a former resident of Newberry. She was employed by the Ara- gon-Baldwin Mill of Whitmire and was a member of the Pen tecostal Holiness Church. She was also a member of the Women’s Auxiliary of the church.

We have gone far with grass since a few years ago when we knew it only as a pest in the cotton patch. And we have a lot to learn about managing it. But that is coming from experiment and experience. We know time holds a splendid destiny for us with grass. For its livestock and soil saving potentials are needed and great.
