When 1 could do *o, I have left such matter out, or have given the main facts, without going into details. To my way of thinking, there is something wrong with a journalism that brings tears to the eyes of an old man, or causes a mother to feel stabbed to the heart by publicity given to an er ring son or wayward daughter, 1 do not, however, mean that a newspaper phould entirely sup- Preses crime news. A hard and fast line between what news to print and what to omit cannot be drawn. The mitigating circum stances, and the far-reaching ef fect, must be studied and decid ed upon. Raper Is Safeguard, In the main, it is the province of a newspaper to print the so called crime news as it occurs. In so doing, it provides a safe guard to the community at large, which is invaluable. Men are de terred fr»m criminal actions by fear of publicity, Judicious use °f printers’ ink can do more' toward law enforcement than a dozen peace officers. Newspapers, like all human agencies, make mistakes, but such errors are generally traceable to misinformation given the news men.

Spier The following item taken from Thursdays Savannah Morning News tells of the serious accident in which Sheriff Spier was driving one of the cars. Four persons were injured, one seriously, when two cars crashed head-on near Midway yesterday in a collision attributed to a cow straying across the Coastal High way. The injured were Mrs. A. D. Vance, Homer and Margaret Vance, all of Bristol, Va., and Sheriff Wylly Spier of Bryan county. Mrs. Vance was badly bruised and cut about the face and body, one rib was fractured and internal injuries may be found after further examination. The Bryan county sheriff was cut on one side of the mouth and chin, but did not appear badly hurt, according to Mr. Vance. Mr. Vance was cut on face and hands, and Miss Vance sustained u broken foot. Sheriff Spiers’ automobile was demolished, the Vance car wag badly damaged- The accident occurred about 1 mile south of Midway when Sher iff Spier swerved across the road to avoid hitting a cow, Mr. Vance stated. FIRST OPEN BOLL R. E. Williams, one of Bryans progressive colored farmers is the first to announce an open boll of cotton. This is a little early and he is to be congratulated on his fine crop. All in all this has been a wonderful crop year for all the farmers in this section. supports a friend in politics, ex tolls the virtues of a famous native son, stretches the truth to praise a local prima-donna-to-be. or gently lays a metapherical wreath on the grave of the de parted, he seldom hears a ' ‘ I hank you.” Rarely does anyone say, "Well done.” Almost never does he hear, “We appreciated that.” They Go to Heaven! But let him make a slip. Let him say that Sam Jones did some i thing he didn’t do, or Mrs. Smith Brown said something she didn’t say! Everyone in town then takes a whack at him- And that ।is why I believe that all news paper men go to heaven— thev get their share of hell on earth. Jt is surprising how much people expect a country »ews paper editor to know, A week never passes but what there are many calls for varied information, facts, “nd figures, and i f they are not instantly supplied the editor is put dow" m W™ ramui Official Organ County of Bryan and City of ‘Pembroke Baptist Church News Arthur Harrison These notes are being written on Sunday night. The writer has just returned from the night service at Lanier Church, aad must leave early in the morning for Corinth Church, Effingham County to preach in a series of revival services. We rejoice greatly that the Lord has given us a good day today. There were three fine services at Lanier the usual morning ser vices, a baptismal service at 4:30 at Black Creek, and a glorious young peoples’ service tonight, with a reception service following, for those who were baptized. Good congregations were present at all, and we were glad to have visitors with us at all the services. Tha beautiful and impressive service at the water's edge, under the shade afforded by the Black Creek bridge, the fine breeze, the reverence on the part of all at tending, the s riousness in all who were present for baptism approached the s service, and pre sented themselves marked it as a service long to be remembered- Nine candidates were baptized, including one who came during the services by the water. Only one of the number wag unable to be present, and arrangements will be made in respect of this one for the holding of another service in the near future. The Olive Branch Lanier Bap tist Training Union met at Lanier, and with other worshippers al most filled the auditorium. A fine doctrinal program was ren dered, in which about a d<z s young people took part. At the conclusion of the pro gram. the pastor spoke principally to the baptized candidates, and then to the singing of the fine old hymu, “Amazing Grace” by the entire congregation, they were received into the full fellowship of the Church, and given the right hand of welcome by the pastor and members. After wards members of Olive Branch and other churches extended the right hand of Christian fellowship to those who had been received. This Training Union is a source of great joy to the pastor and also to the two churches who main tain it- The progress that is be ing made is most encouraging. Twe of our Olive Branch members run school buses for the benefit of those who otherwise would have no means of transportation to and from the services, and Sunday School, and B. T. U, meetings. This is genuine mis sionary work undertaken in a true missionary spirit and the re sults are far-reaching. On Sunday, a week from today, the services will be at Pembroke Church if the Lord so wills. Shall we not make it a record day both at Sunday School and also at the worship hours by being present and by throwing our whole soul into ths day’s efforts? What a day we might have in the Master’s service! Let us plan ahead of time and make it such a day. The Lord be with you all during the days of the coming week, and may His power be up on the Church to which we so, and upon His servants as we break the bread of life to hungry souls- Will you remember us at the Throne of Grace? We shall pray for you m our services- GO TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY! The editor and his family spent Monday in Statesboro renewing old aetuaiMtauces aad visiting re latives. ' J Pembroke, Georgia, Friday, July 23rd 1937 Grice Will Not Have Opposition Now that it is not long before another election will roll around there is much speculation about who if any will make the race for Judge against Judge J. T. Grice and o’hers that will have to make the race nex t year. We du not believe that any m: n will tackle Judge Grice, he woo d be foolish to do so. Wo do rot believe that there is a uk.u in the Atlantic Ci’cuir that, can hold Joe Grice a light to rjn by. He has mide a good judge and has proved on occasions that demand ed it that he was a judge with a heart in him. The same situation is true as to the Solicitors job. there are many that would like to have the place, but we doubt if any of them gets up enough courage to tackle J. P. Dukes, they all know that Perry has made good and nis re cord as a prosecuting solicitor cant be beat in the state. He has! done his duty at all times and at; the same time ha not meddled in little affairs that prove costly and never amount to anything. Yes, we iirndy believe that after the next ekc’ion that it will still be Judge Grice and Solicitor General J P. Dukes. That would he the be-t for our people. The race ror Congress shows more signs of opposition than any other ore , several are feeling out the s ; tuation and and we would not be surprised to see Conress man Peterson with his hands full next election lime. Now, do not get us wrong, we are not making any fight on Hugh Peterson, al though we have never been his supporter, theie is no reason why we could not support him in the next race, he has been as nice to us as has been possible, and pei sonally we have no fight to make on him. Our only wish is that he get “ sufficient opposition” to make him remember to visit us before election time and to make him place his announcement in the county papers, as we can’t help but remember that in bis last race he failed to send in his aanouce ment and alse failed tojeven come into the county before the election- Any Congressman that expects the papers back home to carry publicity lor him about this bill and that bill that he is “working” for, and then fails to give that paper his announcement whan he makes the race, is not doing right. Outside of being treated that way by Hugh Peterson, we have no special kick on him. He is about as good as any ot the rest, and so far as we know, we believe we could get along without one and never know the difference, Dr. K. J. Kennedy On School Board The appointment of Dr. R. J. Kennedy of Statesboro as a mem-, her on the State School Beard re- ; presenting the First District will meet the universal approval. There is no better man in all the state than Dr. Raymond Ken nedy of Statesboro, he is a big man and will serve the state with credit and honor. He was a staunch supporter of Governor Rivers in his race and was entitled to recognition at the hands of him. If the other mem bers of the board are of the same calibre as Dr. Kennedy, then there >b no need to worry, as the affairs of the school hoard will be well taken uaia &L । SPECIAL RETURN DANCE DY POW-O-LIN RAMBLERS “Off To Atlanta” ■MM ill Mayor A, 8.

Editor Visits With “Cousin” Otis Butler On Tuesday afternoon we went out and had a visit with “cousin” Otis Butler at his h< me near Pem broke. Os course cousin ©tie thought that we wanted some thing and he just couldn't let us com# away empty handed. We first visited the garden and ! gathered a l®t of tomatoes and a; bunch of hot peppers, then the] smoke house where we were given 1 syrup, all of which were very welcome and the “yunguns” was mighty glad to see us w,hen we got back home. Otis has une of the finest crops that we have seen anywhere, in fact he has the finest peanuts and sweet potatoes that we have ever seen. He is a hard worker and! always have fine crops and this year is better than usual. We are always glad to stop and chat with Otis, he wag the friend of the father of the editor of this paper and has always keen our friend, he makes you feel g lad*that j you stepped and regret when the time comes to leave. He is a good citizen and one of our best subscribers. Unly wish that we had more like him. Mrs. C. B. Harrison and little Carter B. of Cays, eS.

Chickens Help Make A Success When you drive up to a mans house and he has modern chicken houses with large flocks of white lejphorns and other chickens, you can just put it down in your little black book that that fellow is living at home aad boarding at the same place There is no question but that any man that will try can have a success raising chickens in Bryan. The trouble with most of us that is having a hard time to get along successfully is tbat we are not trying hard enough. Toe many farmers live out of paper sacks from the city stores, and have too little to carry in to these stores in exchange for their needs at the store. Its alright to live out of paper sacks, but a farmer should exchange eggs, chickens, lard, syrup and meat togethra with fresh vegetables for their coffee, sugar, rice «nd other necessities. When they do this they are getting ahead.
