HERROD WRITES TO CHILTON COUNTY VOTERS Editor Union-Banner: Please allow me a short space in your paper to say a few words to the vitera of Chilton County. First, I want to ask all. the. voters to come out on May 11th and vote for the men of their choice, and as I am in the race for County Commissioner for the third district, your vote and influence will be appreciated. As I have served the people for two terms I have' done the very best I could.

My service ia a public record, and I am not ashamed of any vote that I have ever cast in the Commissioners Court. I would be glad for any one to look into the records if you wish 'to see how I have always voted on different subjects. Mr. Walker and Mr, Abbott are my opponents, and both are nice men. If either of these meiy are the choice of the people of the county they certainly will be my choice and I will -'get-behind them and help to elect them along'with all the rest of the Republican ticket Now, in conclusion, I want to urge all the voters again to go to the polls on May 11th and let's roll up a good vote for the Republican ticket in old Chilton County.

Clint Connell, charged with violating prohibition laws; fined $300 and costs. ference of Chi ton County, held on Monday, May -i the very important question of gijbupmg the churches together and by so doing locating pastors to live on tl le field, and give their; tvhole time to tl work, was fully dig- i ussed. As thd result of the cenclu-ions arrived, at I was requested by he conference; to write this article nd through the kind courtesy of the mon-4Sanner lay the matter before the churches of the county for their Ume The subject was outlined by the iter, touched upon the purpose, the ssibility and the method of pro- iire. 'T- The.

Purpo.e. Every Baptist Pastor of Chilton ounty who 1 limited to a fourth time field or once a month preaching ii ne or more, localities- has come to laliza- that It is" impossible to properly develop their own churches in this way, visiting them only on Saturday and Sunday once a It is aho recognized by the brethren that no uastor who has to manage a farm or engage in. some other form of secular laboT vfor the means of a hyclihood to the inadequate support received from the churches they supply can do efficient pasto'ral wfirk. Hence the churches, the cau-. of Christ, and the Denomination ate suffering as a result.

f. The Plan. I The plan as outlined by the'meet-ing is grouping of two churches geographically situated, and the, locating of a pastor to give his entire time; to the oversight of these churches. Two -half-time fields is the igeal, but necessary qne or two nkore- 'churches might be added to provide an adequate support. It is obvious to all that such an arrangement would be of great benefit Jto the.

churches. There would be more preaching, hatter congregations, a closerr fellowship between pastor and people, and, between each individual member of the church. With more services and greater interest the mem-bersh and income of the churches woulo naturally increase In this way he pastor could 1 not only do more-f visitation work, but organize and supervise the other of j4a ma.tn Qllnan Cnknn meeting, B. Y. P.C, Sunday School and W.

M. U. The WitH the proper co-operation of the churchts and pastors the plan is quite easibla. There is hardly a church Thorsby, May 8, Editor Union-Banner: As this will be the last opportunity to 'anytliing through your paper before the primary election on May 11th, please allow me a small space. I feel that it is my" duty to say a few words to the voters of the county.

Four years ago 1' made the race for Tax Assessor and got a good vote, and now I am asking ydu people for the same place that I asked for I want each and every one to inves tigate my past record and if you feel that I am worthy of, the office I will appreciate it just as much as any man you could vote for. Now, I want to ask the voters to come out to the polls on May 11th and vote for their choice, and the Republican ticket will be elected by a big majority in November. I want to say again that I would Jbe glad -to have the support of, every voter that votes in the Republican primary. -v, I feel that I am competent to fill the office for which I am asking, and if elected will conduct the affairs of the office iir'such a manner that you will never regret voting for me. Now, I want to ask you all again to come out on May 11th and give us a big vote.

REFORM DELAYED Not long ago, Mr. Lansing, while Secretary of State, wrote a letter to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in which he submitted facts which revealed a startling congestion, with facitilies utterly inadequate to handle the tremendous increase in the work of the Department since the beginning of the war. One of the significant facts about the matter is that the former secretary should have waited untiLhe was no longer a member of the President's Cabinet, for a Republican Congress, before taking measures of correction. Probably he knew that Mr.

Wilson would certainly disapprove any recommendation that he might make, and that the administration leaders in Congress would likewise deny him the means -for making the reforms. Tommie Taylor of the Company, says that business is picking up down on Chicken Avenue since the Postoffice has' moved down that way. ta MINOOKA NEWS Dear Editor: Please give us a little space in your paper.

to make use of MEMBEEI OP FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM The Modern Bank in the County but what has sufficient membership and financial strength to support la pastor for at least half time work, and with more efficient pastoral work the numerical and i-1 nancial strength would increase. The Method of Procedure. This perhaps is the most important phase: of the whole matter. In brief the following would be about the method of procedure: a First, to geographically group two or more churches together who would agret to call and support the same pastor. Second, to present the matter to the Individual churches at a special conference called for that purpose.

It isj clearly recognized by the pastors pnd workers present that every churdhis a unit unto itself, and has its oji'n self-governing powers. That no njan or body of men has the right to dictate what the chcurches shall do otherwise. Therefore it is simplyl the desire of the pastors to lay the matter before the churches and after due consideration let them decide what they shall do. There are many details to be worked out which cannot be embodied in this article. The main desire of the conference is to.

secure first of all the hearty consent and cooperation of the churches 'Endorsed by the Pastors. With a splendid christian spirit the plan was unanimously endorsed by the pastors. To do this means a considerable sacrifice on tthe part of many of the preachers, who have their, farms and their homes which would have to be disposed of some way of other either by renting or by selling. Regardless however' of the sacrifice it might entail present expressed the willingness to make whatever sacrifice necessary in order to better and more adequately serve the churches the glory of God, and the good of the church and denomination. The plan will be further duscissed at the Fifth Sunday Meeting.

In the meantime the earnest and prayerful consideration of the churches is requested with the elimination of all Selfish motives, seeking to promote only the glory of God, and the progress of the church and Kingdom. SINGING CONVENTION- The Chilton County Singing Convention using' the Sacred Harp and Christian Harmony Music Books will hold the Bpring session at Hampton, known as Zion's Rest Church, on the Fourth Sunday in May, and Saturday before.

For the past year or more I have been the deputy sheriff of your county and have made an honest effort to fulfill my duties according to law and the welfare of the people.

If I am nominated and elected to the office of Tax Collector I shall try my very best to fill that office with the same consideration. In concluson I wish to say again that I will appreciate your vote in the primary of May 11. I have made as mucht canvass of the county as I could and seen as many of the people as I could, now I leave it up to the voters to choose, Hoping the ultimate result will be to the best, welfare of the Republican party.
