Religion Is Practical
There are those who believe
that religion is all right in its
place, but that it has no busi
ness in the everyday life of the
practical-minded man or wo
man. I
That’s what the Nazi j
thought. Including the Nazi j
doctors. “Let nothing,” tihefcr
said, “stand in the way of
scientific progress.” Result:
their grisly experiments on the
hapless inmates of Dachau and j
Buechenwald. Human vivisec- I
tion in the name of science!
But what was wrong with
those experiments? Nothing
that science could pronounce
for science has no standards of I
moral judgment. If the Nazi
horrors are to be condemned,
it can only be according to the ,
principles of right and wrong i
which are the business of re
ligion is relegated to the once- |
a-week affair—nay the once- I
a-year affair—that it 1s tend- |
ing to become in our society, j
Human vivisection is wrong on
Monday, too.
In any rational scheme
therefore, religion is seen as
the most fundamental and im
portant of the areas of know
ledge. This is a good time to
remind ourselves of this simple
fact, for this is Religious Book
Week (Oct. 24-31)—and a good
time to do something about it
by reading religious books.

Berryion Message
Jealousy surely is cruel and
dangerous.
Solomons 8-6: Jealousy is as
cruel as the grave the coals
thereof are coals of fire which
has the most vehement flames,
remember Jacob’s boys, they
were all jealous of Joseph for
the father loved him very much,
they ate before Joseph and sold
him to the travelers to dispose of
him, but he became great and
they had to come to Joseph in
a depression and get com for
bread, before they died, and then
the prodicle son, his brother was
jealous because his father killed
the fatted calf for to make merry
and King Saul was jealous of .
David because Ddvid grew,
mighty in the Lord, and Saul
sought to slay David but had no ■
success.
Then it seemed that King
Heriod was jealous of the Christ!
who was to be homed and he '
proceeded to destroy the man
child but he failed and died
himself.
Dear friends in your gift don’t 1
be jealous, if you are a preacher •
and someone passes you in the
race just pray for them and give !
them a little push upward and i
humble yourself and the bless
ings will overshadow your heart.
If you are a old Jealous hide and
try to slay someone in your daily:
conversations and ruin their in
fluence’and hatch up slight re
marks to pull them down, then
you are going down yourself for
how can God bless a old jealous
hide who is a gosslper. In the
Bible no jealous person made j
progress.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Editor’s Note: This article
was delivered by the person
whose name appears at bot
tom and it does not neces
sarily reflect the views or
opinion of The Summerville
News.
In your article of last week
concerning an injunction which
I filed against the city in an
effort to prevent what I and
many others regard as a flagrant
and shameful waste of city funds
in destroying the present terra
cotta sewer system now in use
on Washington St. and replacing
it with cast iron just because the
present sewers needed cleaning
out and serves the home of the
mayor.
I do not feel that your story
covered the matter completely
i and w for the benefit of your
readers I would like to explain
more fully.
In the beginning, I was driving
up Washington St., with Council
man Leroy Alexander when we
noticed the vast array of iron
I pipe leading from the railroad to
a point directly in front of the
Mayor’s house. I asked Council-

-'man Alexander what the pipe
'was for and he said he did not
know. We saw the Mayor and
j Councilman Dennis Cox of the
j 4th Ward standing in front of
) the Mayor’s house so we stopped
I and I asked the Mayor what the
, iron pipes were for. He told me
> that it was none of my business,
■ but when he saw Councilman
; Alexander was with me he re
r luctantly explained that the iron
pipes were for sewers. Council
l man Alexander asked if the
’ street did not already have sew
ers, the Mayor said yes but they
1 had been having trouble with
; tree roots and he, the Mayor, was
i tired of having stuff back up in
t his house. We then asked the
1 Mayor what Councilmen had ap
t proved this installaton and as
’ near as we could learn no one
1 ether than Councilman Cox knew
> anything about it and he prob
- bably learned in passing just as
• we had. I then informed the
Mayor that I considered it un
fair, unjust and illegal to take
funds that had been borrowed to
■ sewer sections that had no sewers
5 and use it in this unnecessary
and selfish manner just so he,
1 the Mayor, would have no furth
er difficulty and I expected to
■ try and stop him if possible. I
immediately caused an investl-
’ gation to be made of all existing
■ contracts and found there, was
none nor anything on the min
utes concerning this job, thereby
making it appear that the Mayor
planned to pav for this in an
1 illegal and unlawful manner. I
immediately applied for an in
junction and understand that
the Mayor called a Council
meeting in the hope that two of
them would vote to do what he
was already doing and they did.
Now everyone knows that one
Councilman is elected for each
ward and that the Councilman
elected in each ward is responsi
ble for representing his indivi
dual ward and obtaining such
improvements as in his judge
ment the ward needs, but in this
meeting Councilman Alexander
of Ward 3 and Councilman Wil
liams of Ward 2 voted against
. installing better sewers on Wash
ington street than are being in
stalled elsewhere in town, but
Councilman Dennis Cox and Joe
Gaines, representing Wards 1
and 4 voted that Wards. 2 and 3
must have cast iron sewers
whether they wanted them or
not, knowing full well that the
tremendous cost of installing
cast iron to the Mayor’s house
would come in part from their
wards and also knowing that
’ this uncalled for gesture to do
: the will of our mayo*- would de-
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS
1 prive many good people in their
; wards of any sewers at all. The
I injunction was given a hearing
: before Judge Nichols in Rome,
• Saturday a. m., and the judge
[: ruled in favor of the cast iron
sewers. We immediately carried
\ the case to a higher court and a
, hearing is now pending, but in
jthe meantime the cast iron sew
| ers are being installed regardless
of what the higher court may
rule. James and the Councilmen
of Wards 1 and 4 have said that
Wards 1 and 3 will have cast
iron sewers -whether they want
them or not and despite the fact
that they cost more than six
times as much as the clay sew

To The Voters
Os Chatt ioga County
On November 2, 1948, the voters of Chattooga
County will decide, among others, who is to be their
Sheriff for the next four years. We have decided to
put the facts before the good people of Chattooga
County so that they will know just where we stand.
First of all, let us say that we are running an abso
lutely "independent" race. By independent, we
mean that we are not affiliated with any political or
ganization, nor are we backed by any political "ma
chine."- Be believe this is the opportunity for the peo
ple of Chattooga County to take the office of Sheriff
out of politics and place if on an honest, efficient level.
Our records are open for any one who cares to
compare:
W. 6. TALLENT—Was turned down for U. 5. Navy.
Was drafted for Army and placed in limited service.
Worked in defense plants (Hercules Powder Co., and
829th Air Depot). Has served on the City of Summer
ville Police Department for the past fifteen months.
J. W. ARGO-Worked for Trion Company from 1927
until 1937, Interstate Life Insurance Company and
Southern Railway Co. Volunteered for U. 5. Army in
1942, shortly after outbreak of World War 11. Honor
ably discharged from Wells Convalescent Hospital,
Daytona Beach, Florida, in 1945. Entered plumbing
and heating business in Summerville in 1945.
Due to the short space of time before November 2,
we may not be able to see each and every one of you,
but we promise that, if elected, the people can expect
fair dealings at all times, that they don't have to be
afraid of the treatment they will receive. We promise
that we shall do our best to give the people the best
administration in the history of Chattooga County and
one of which they may well be proud.

r ers installed In the rest of the
3 town.
I j For myself I would like to add
JI do not have sewers of any kind
3 i and have never tried to get
1 sewers for myself but only a fair
1 ! share and a fair deal for my
i fellow citizens. At one time a
1 man came to me and said that
-! the Mayor was willing to run a
5 i private sewer line to my house
'at a cost to the city of approxi
r mately $5,000.00 provided I would
-hush up. I told him to tell the
> Mayor that the only way he
; could hush me up would be to
: give the town a square deal and
: that if he dared start a private
• [sewer line to my house I would
! file an injunction to stop it. At
a later date when sewers were
I being installed around me why
I they did stake out a line to my
- house but later came up and
‘ ’ pulled up the stakes. I under
stand this was done on orders of
| the Mayor. For my own use I
have an excellent septic tank
[ and know how to keep it up and
I certainly do not want any
better sewers than is available
for my fellow citizens but I do
hate to see a hundred families
deprived of even clay sewers, just |
so his excellency, the Mayor and
a handful of others may have
cast iron.
