Exhorted To
Praise God
Psalm 67
The first verse of this great
Psalm should be our fervent
prayer. We should continually
have this prayer of praise on
our hearts and lips at all times.
We stand in need of the mercies
of God more than any genera
tion in the history of the world
and mankind. This great nation
has abused the privileges which
God has granted unto her. The
people have gone astray. They
have looked unto themselves
for comfort and solace. They
have sought the vain things of
the world and now they are dis
content with the frivilous, short
lived pleasures. We are a rest
less people, who have lost the
perspective of faith upon which
this nation was founded.
Because of the waywardness
of the people, we are living in
a time filled with chaos, malice,
and injustice. The Bible speaks
of such times before the second
coming of Christ. If the peo
ple of this nation were to be
gin to praise the Lord as we
should, we would receive a
spiritual uplifting, such as the
world has never known before.
Friends, with the Psalmist, I
would like to take this oppor
tunity to urge you to plead
with God to be merciful unto
the people of this nation and
that the hearts of men and
women would be turned from
sin back to the Lord. We, as a
chosen people, need the Lord.
We stand condemned before
God and the world. The atti
tude of the people has not been
Christ like.
Friends, let us pray and
praise God with all of our
hearts and let the manifesta
tion of His presence and love
shine in our lives. When we do
this and humble ourselves, then
God will bless us and heal our
land.
Mrs. Otis Butler was admit
:ed to the Candler General Hos
pital last Saturday afternoon.
Her many friends and relatives
wish for her an early recovery.

July Term City
Court Doing A
Job On Docket
Monday morning the July
Term of the Pembroke City
Court, which was a Jury Term
met with a full house, making
it look as if “Big Court” was
in session. Due to the illness
of Judge Drexel a visiting
judge was asked to come in and
hold court and help in away
to clear the docket of al) the
old cases “in one way or anoth
er,” and Judge Richard Phillips
of Ludowici was here and did
an outstanding job of doing a
judges part to try every one
that was there for trial, and to
sign bench warrants to bring
in many that have been on the
docket for a long time and was
not in court. Bonds was for
feited, and many pleas were
entered.
It was the busiest day that
the City Court has ever held.
Solicitor John Harvey had the
papers in order and the State
stood ready in each and every
case to do its part at the bar
of justice. Our sheriff, Harry
Williamson and his entire force
of deputies was on hand and
there was no “dragging of
feet” anywhere.
There were many cases on
the docket, some of which had
been paid on and just where
the “money went” was hard to
determine, many of these cases
were “wiped out” in an effort
to do justice to all the defend
ants, and to once more get a
clean docket and make an ef
fort to keep it that way.
The jury worked fast in each
case called on and there was
much accomplished at this one
lays session. Judge Phillips
<aid that when these bench
warrants were served and the
various defendants get lined up
that he will return again and
finish his part of the job.
Judge Phillips did an outstand
ing job presiding over our
court, he was sympathetic, yet
firm in doing the job. Ye Edi
tor has known him since he
was a young man, and before
he was a lawyer, and although
our age made it possible for u»
to not serve on Monday. We
did so due to our esteem for
the visiting judge, and at -the
noon hour Mr. and Mrs. Miller
had 16 Court officials, lawyers
and friends as their guests in
the Green Room.

Makes His
Announcement For
Superintendent
It has been known for some
time that Mr. Billy Mock
would be in the race for
Superintendent of Schools of
Bryan County. Mr .Mock
told us some time ago that
he would be in the race and
would announce later as he
felt like the time was too long
to make his announcement
I earlier.
I He is a native of Bryan Co-
I unty, is well educated and has
I all the necessary degrees to
I hold the office, he has been
teaching in the Chatham Co
unty Schools for several years,
and at the present time is one
of the Chatham County School
teachers. He is Commander
of the American Legion at
Pembroke and makes his home
with his parents near 1-16
just beyond Black Creek on
Highway 280.
Mr. Mock visited the Journal
office on Tuesday and said
that he felt that it. would be
good for the voters to have
an opportunity to make a
selection between at least two
men for this high office to
the people of Bryan. We see
nothing wrong with that. Mr.
Mock said that he would make
an active campaign for the
office, but would do it on a
high plane, and wanted to
make friends instead of losing
them, regardless of the race.

Yes Strange
Things Happen
In Bryan County
The unbelievable happened in
Bryan early Tuesday morning
when a pickup truck belonging
to Mr. Robert P. Fanning of
Pembroke RFD 2, with three
colored men in the truck with,
him, Clinton (Rooster) Porter
of Pembroke RFD 2, the only
one to sustain an injury suf
fered a broken arm, Marion
Shaw and Carlos Porter two
colored men who live on Pem
broke RFD 2 were ininjured as
was Mr. Fanning.
It seems as if the Helicopter
had run short of fuel or was
forced to land on the highway
for other reasons, where it re
mained from about midnight
until it was run into by the
Fanning pick-up truck. We un
derstand that three soldiers
were left on guard, but whether
that is true we do not know,
however it was established that
no red lights or warning signals
were displayed near the Heli
copter on the highway.
The Patrol said three Ft.
Stewart soldiers guarding the
Huey helicopter were in the
aircraft when it was hit by the
pickup.
An Army spokesman identi
fied two of the soldiers as Sp.
4 Allen Helm and Sp. 5 Pat
rick Kaiser, both of Co. B,
575th Engineer Btn., at Ft.
Stewart. The patrol Identified
the other soldier as Paul Hig
ginbotham. Helm and Kaiser
were shaken up and returned
to duty after examination at
the Hunter Army Airfield Hos
pital, the Army spokesman
said.
Shaw was taken to a Bulloch
County hospital. A report on
the nature of his injuries and
condition was not available,
officers said.
Porter was admitted to
Memorial Medical Center
with arm fractures. A Memo
rial spokesman said he was
in good condition.
An Army spokesman said
the student pilots who were
flying the aircraft were not in
jured in the precautionary
landing on the paved road.
They landed after an instru
ment panel light indicated the
possibility o f transmission
trouble.
The helicopter was on a
training flight from Ft. Stew
art when the apparent diffi
culty-developed, the spokes
man said.
The student pilots were iden
tified by the Army as Warrant
Officer candidate. Richard T.
Bois and Michae D. Emer
tom.
