M.OE SIX THE BUTLER HERALD, BUTLER, GEORGIA, MAY 5, 1968. UNION GROUP SWAMPS FOES IN BALLOTING Negro Suestion Placed Foremost As Anti-Unilicationists Storm , At Vote PRESS ASSOCIATION PLANS MEETING AT SWAINSB0R0JINE8 Emory University Faculty Member Will Serve As Field Manager Bi railing'll am, Ala., April 29.— Southern Methodists voted over whelm: ngly Friday for union with other branches of the denomination, despite warnings of “secession” by deep South opponents of afTliation with northern adherents of tho church. .The vote in the 23rd quadrennial conference of the Methodist Episco pal Church, South, was: For unification, 434; against, 26. The group opposing the “plan ot union,” already approved by Metho dist Episcopal (northern) and Meth odist Protestant bodies, remained steadfast in its assertion “the South ern Methodist church will not perish.” A spokesman for the Laymen’s Organization for Preservation of the Southern Methodist church said the “defeat today was just about what we expected.” * ‘We will ask that our counsel be allowed to present our side of the case before the judicial council,” he *aid. If the council holds unification legally enacted, the laymen’s group has announced it would appeal to the civil courts. The new church which will have a membership of approximately 8,000,- <100 will include six "jurisdictions,’’ five on geographical lines, and one genernl jurisdiction for negroes. “Destruction of the Methodist church in the South,” was forecast by opposition speaker, who brought before the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, memorials and telegrams from doz ens of churches asking that unifica tion be sent back to annual con ferences for vote. Dr. T. D. Ellis of Louisville, flooi leader of the union forces, forecast overwhelming victory for union after failure of an opposition move to have the prviilege of the floor extended to Collins Denny, Jr., son of the bishop. Former Governor Jno. M. Slaton, of Georgia, chairman of the board of stewards of the Trinity Methodist church of Atlanta, forecast the "de struction of our church,” if unifica tion is passed, in a telegram intro duced by Jere Wells, school super intendent of Fulton ( Atlanta) county. Wells, lay leader of the North Georgia conference, asked that uni fication be sent back to the con ferences for ratification. "I know 80 per cent of <)ur mem bers are opposed to passage of this' .plan before they understand it,’" Wells said.

Valley and Roberta. Modern cot tages are being constructed by the operators, and negroes are being brought in from Mississippi and Louisiana to work the pines. It is said this is done because of their ex perience in the modern way of tur pentining trees. In some of the old turpentine farms trees were hacked and sashed and practically ruined by the untrained operators. Today the outting is done in a way intended to prevent injury and to get a maximum yield Since the discovery tha* the tur pentine flows in only the outer lay ers of the tree new development! have been provided for confining tha cutting to the surface rather than letting it go into the unproductive wood.

Its plans are such that when it has put in a hundred thous crop ait 9,680 cars. Orchards general ly were reported in a “vigorous, healthy condition” and the quality oi the crop was expected to be good. The exchange reported carlot ship ment of early varieties to northern markets is expected to begin the first week in May.

The slash pine cannot stand the effects of burning. When fire touches a young slash pint it curls up and dies right now. As result of the recklessness with fire we have destroyed the slash pine many communities, and now we hav only the loblolly, or shortleap, that will not produce turpentine. In this county we have some long leaf and Borne slash, both of which will pro duce turpentine and afterwards make lumber.

The first payment on the deficit was made last week, amounting to more than $17,000. A committee named by the governor to determine the 1 total deficit said it exceeded $70,- 000. our resources be destroyed through such ignorance. I really believe if it were not for the danger of fires, pine tree planting would become tjie moft popular of all of our agricultural in terests. I'heard a Dodge ioui/ty man say recently that a hundred acres of his pine land pays every expense for his farming operations. What he makes on his farm is absolutely without cost to him.
