THE DEVASTATION
OF THE LAND
Psalm 74
One hundred years ago the
southland lay in a devastated
state. Southern soldiers had
fought and died for what they
considered to be a worthy
cause. There were many great
men who gave themselves un
reservedly for what they be
lieved in. The South was sound
ly defeated and the land was
laid to waste. The people of
the South were destitute. Peo
ple who had lived in the lap of
luxury were forced to work as
field hands to eke out a bare
living. After the war the car
pet-baggers moved in and prey
ed upon all of the people of the
South. They took advantage of
any and every situation which
presented itself to gain a fast
dollar. There was no compas
sion in their hearts for the
destitute or the sick.
After taking a backward
glance we know that the Union
forces tried and did keep this
land intact as one great nation.
These forces also fought for
something in which they believ
ed. But we are not discussing
the Civil War per se, but we
are looking at the after effects
of this war upon the South. The
people who moved in would
have to be considered the ene
mies of both man and God.
They did damage to the land
and to the people, which hind
ered the prosperity of the
South for many years. Even to
day the South is still trying
to overcome the stigmatism of
those dreadful years.
The Southern States are
known as the Bible Belt of
the nation. The people of the
South know the Bible better
than the people of any other
part of the nation. But, know
ing the Bible does not make
the situation in the South any
better. The knowledge of the
Bible must be put into prac
tice if things are to improve
in the South. The Land is still
in a state of devastation, as
far as the Southerner is con
cerned. This situation will have
to be worked out in the hearts
of the people, by, God. When
Jesus is proclaimed Lord, then
God will heal our land.

BCHS held its first basketball practice Sept. 1, 1968, with
38 boys and 26 girls reporting for practice. Coach Van Brunt
: eports he was pleased with the turn-out and impressed with the
youths of both teams.
For the girls, returning stand-outs from last year’s team
were Darleen Butler and Betty Hughes. Other girls who saw
plenty of action last year and whom the Coach will have to
rely on are Linda Williamson, Debra Raulerson, Donna Jones,
Marilyn Wilson, and Carolyn Warnell.
According to Coach Van Brunt, though they might be some
what weak in experience, they have the desire and potential to
develop into a strong team.
For the boys, returning stand-outs are Douglas DeLoach
and Michael. Butler. Transferring from Pembroke High are
Johnny Miller ai d Gerald Roberson. Danny Bragg, a sophomore,
also played much ball last year ard is expected to be called upon
to strengthen the rebounding game. Other players returning
are Glenn Miles, William Lane, Buddy Miller. Danny Barnard,
and Herbert Warnell.
Although Coach Van Brunt does not predict the outcome
for this year’s season, he does commit that no player has earned
a starting berth. There are eight men fighting for their lives
to earn a starting position.

Methodist Revival
Now In Progress
The fall revival of the Pem
broke Methodist Church is un
derway, having started Sunday
night and will close Friday
•night. Rev. Bruce Wilson is
bringing the messages and his
many friends here are enjoy
ing this outstanding preacher,
who served the local Methodist
Church for four years, and had
a big part in the church get
ting out of their old wooden
building and into their fine new
brick church and Sunday School
rooms.
Ye Editor went out to hear
his friend Rev. Bruce Wilson
preach and to again hear Cy
Wood lead the singing, as he
does the job just like the May
or thinks it ought to be done,
and we would walk a mile any-'
time to hear him lead one of
the oldtime favorite revival
songs. We were doubly repaid
for going out Monday night,
for when we looked around dur
ing the service and saw one of
our favorite pastors of all de
nominations, Rev. Tom Watson,
who is now in Savannah, but
he too served the Pembroke
Methodist Church for four
years. We have told many of
our good friends, had Tom
Watson remained in Pembroke,
that they would have had to
make room for Ye Editor in the
Methodist Church.
Yes, we consider Tom Wat
son and Bruce Wilson two of
the leading preachers of any
church that we have ever
heard. They were our good
friends during the time they
lived in Pembroke and have re
mained that way during the
years since they were here. Two
finer Christian men could not
be found anywhere.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Pul
liam and family spent the
week-end with Mrs. Pulliam’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ben G.
Brewton. Joining the Pulliams
at their parents home for Sun
day dinner were Mr. and Mrs.
Clark Anderson, Debra and
Derrell, Mr. and Mrs. Ben
Brewton Jr., and Mr. and Mrs.
Jimmy Mock 'of Savannah.
Miss Martha Jones has re

Army Band Will Be On Hand
At Dedication Os Steel
Mill To Entertain Crowd
Our Friends
Have Rallied
To Our Plea
When we came to the end of
the row, and there was nothing
else left for us to do, either
get our friends to come across
and get their subscription to
the Journal in better shape, or
else we would have to “sever
diplomatic” relations with
them. It worried us, for after
forty years running a newspap
er in Pembroke we have made
many friends, many of them
were just downright careless
to let their subscription get be
hind, and we were afraid that
we would have to remove many
names of loyal subscribers for
the past years from our list.
But such is not the case.
Yes, there are those that will
have to be taken off. But not
any such number as we were
afraid of. Monday was the
deadline, and that afternoon
after the wife had left the of
fice our good friend Earl Lanier
came to the house and paid for
5 years, another good friend
came up and paid for 2 years,
and we went to church on Mon
day night and our good friend
Gordon Smith paid another two
years on his paper, the second
time he has done this, during
this week.
Yes, it is friends and sup
porters like that that makes
Ye Editor feel like that it is
not all too bad after all, for
surely we have the most loyal
bunch of subscribers that any
one ever had, they ask us to
their family gatherings, and
remember us with the finest
vegetables that we have ever
had, and for the past 40 years
we know that we have had more
total good subscribers and
friends than any one is entitled
to in a small little city and
county like we have.
This week has been a bright
one for Ye Editor and his wife,
and we are sure that those who
are going to have to be drop
ped from the list will soon be
back on our mailing list, we
will be a looking for them.
Mis. Charles Daniel is re
cuperating at home after a
short stay in the Bulloch Coun

friends wish for her a complete

Those actively behind ar
rangements for the dedication
of the Pembroke Steel Com
panys large plant have been
assured that the Army Band
from Fort Stewart will be on
hand to entertain the crowd.
Along with the Band will be
some of the “high brass” of
Fort Stewart - Hunter Army
Base.
Plans are for the huge barbe
cue to be cooked at the plant of
the Steel Company, and Harley
Surrency, veteran barbecue man
of Pembroke has been given
the job of preparing the meat.
Those of our people who know
Harley and his barbecue busi
ness know that it will be “just
right” with Harley in charge.
The officials of the City of
Pembroke, the County Officials
and the people of our commun
ity are actively behind this big
dedication of our new plant,
which will be honored by hav
ing Governor Lester Maddox as
the main speaker of the occa
sion.
There will be a fine program
worked up for the day, and
the entire program probably
will be televised and sent out
by radio to the neighboring
counties.
The new Steel Company will
mean a great deal to this entire
section, and those behind the
company are pleased with the
reception that are receiving
locally and from the orders that
they are already receiving. It
certainly paints a rosy picture
for our section, and should put
Pembroke and Bryan County
on the map in a big way.
The plant is rapidly going up
and it will be possible for the
speakers platform to be under
the shelter at the new plant,
and the barbecue will be cook
ed and served under the shelter
of the huge plant. Make your
plans to be on hand at 2:30 in
the afternoon of Friday, Oc
tober 25, when the big doings
start out at the plant of the
Pembroke Steel Company.
