Church To Be Americanized

The Greek Church built on DUPONT
Company land, between Justices cor
ner and Forked Hickory Cross Roads,
in which the Orthodox Russians wor-
shipped, has been a place Of e~cclesi-
astical contest the past two weeks. A
former priest took the vestments.
The bell was sold for the war orphan
fund, but is reported to be in the pos
session of some one. Efforts are be-
ing made to get it in the hands of
the Church treasurer. A former priest
was not noted for his sobriety as he
drank all the wine as is the custom in
the old Greek and Roman Churches.
A young priest from Wilmington,
who claims to have a commission from
a bishop, but only the secretary's name
is signed to it, has about half a dozen
followers. 1t is reported the bishop
has gone to Canada where there is
more prosperity.
About thirty Greek Church mem
bers, some of them substantial
Americanized farmers, living near
Center Square, over Oldmans creek,
prefer a priest from Philadelphia.
They are taking action to American
ize the Church government. In Greek
and Roman Church governments the
properties are held in the name of the
Bishop whose will is law and the priest
is the treasurer and custodian of all
moneys and properties. The members
have elected their own trustees and a
treasurer under the civil laws of the
State and decided to choose their own
priest to preach and administer the
sacraments, which is Americanism.
AS peacemaker during readjust-
ment Chief Marshall A. B. House
worth is the pope.
While Russia had a Gar he was
the head of the Church as well as
State. Since his death, having been
killed by the Bolshevists, the Russian
people have been foundering and flop
ping like a chicken with its head off.
like the French did in the French Rev
olution after the head of King Louis
XVI was cut off, before the people hac
confidence in each other to elect
officials who would be honest and eff
cient. The real cause of the failure
was that the clergy were more inter.
ested in preaching the kingcraft ano
legal formality of religion than the
moral and ethical laws of living.
The whole world is in the ira
vail from the system of kingcraf1
both in politics and religion. After
the new birth of democracy, and we
see it's growth in State and Church
most people will better understand
the meaning of what is transpirine
now.

The Globe
The following is a contribution from
a reader of the Record: Being a
theatre fan, | nosed around until |
was granted an interview with the
Manager of the Globe. | wanted to
know what we could expect from him
this winter. He said he had made a
promise to the people Of Penns Grove
to produce the highest grade of vaude-
vile from all the big circuits backed
by the leading offices in New York.
No matter how hard the times we will
use our best endeavors to carry out
this pledge and only ask the support
of the public in return. This is what
| call a frank and consistent pledge
for a man to make and hope he will be
supported in it,
Playhouse, Wilmington
Willard Mack has taken the great
Southwest as a setting for "Her Man,"
his latest dramatic offering, which will
be presented at the Playhouse in Will
mington the first three days of the
week of January 3rd. "Her Man" is
not a conventional western melodrama.
1t is colorful and romantic, rejecting
the beauty of Southern California
ranch life and tells a story that re-.
lates drama as well. as pathos and
comedy. But it is not a play of strut
ting cowboys and gun-play. Miss
Joel is we'll known as an emotional
actress, having PLAYED the Jane CowT
part in "Within the Law and the
leading role in Willard Mack's war
drama, "The Big Chance"

The Farmer As a Business Man

The other day l met a business man
and when he learned that l was a
County Agent, he said: "You know
the farmer is the only business
man in the world who buys at retail
and sells at Wholesale" That little
statement stuck in my mind as the
most striking thing about the farming
business.
AS farmers, you kick as individuals
because what you sell is too low, what
you buy is too high, labor is scarce,
markets are poor, the city man doesn't
understand farming conditions, legis-
lation is ~unfavorable, but with no re-
suit, because. there is a lack of eff
cient organization.
This need is being met by the Salem
County Board of Agriculture, the New
Jersey State Council Of Boards of
Agriculture and the American Farm
Bureau Federation. +.
Success in improving conditions sur
rounding farm business and farm life
at this critical time depends upon
united effort and constructive action,
not upon individual kicks. Capital is
organized; labor is organized; far
mers must organize.
1t depends upon joining the Salem
County Board of Agriculture; then
you become a member of the New Jer-
sey State Council of County Boards
of Agriculture and of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, all farmer
controlled farmers organizations
whose objects are. to accomplish the
things you want done. Over 1,300,-
900 farmers in 81 States already are
members of the American Farm Bu-
reau Federation. Your County, your
State, your Country depends on you
to Join Your County Board of Agri-
culture.

an expert accountant before the days
of adding machines.
A few years ago he was retired by
the directors On a pension.
He studied law and was admitted TO

Those unfortunate guests to whom
onions in any form are poisonous can

leaves the onion out altogether.

I've been a farmer all my life
But never before
Did l realize
1t meant so much
To be organized.
Every year
| grew my crops
But never knew
If they would bring
Enough to pay
For raising them.
But now it looks
To me
That this Federation
Is just the thing
To help us out.

And so is Ed Smith,

And so am l.

The Nashville Tennessean notes
that a Nashville man grew five
pound Nancy Hall Sweet or his back
lot and the paper refers to such an
abominable jumbo as a "fine" potato.
If the Nashville man grew many OF
that kind he has our sympathy, for
the jumbo is wholly undesirable, be-
ing not marketable and poor keepers.
Further, this Nashville man seems to
think he did something extra by
growing potatoes at the rate of 200
bushels per acre, when the possible
maximum is over a thousand bushels
per acre. Supt. J. o. Brown, right
here in Lexington, grew 10 bushels of
Nancy Hall sweets from 100 slips, at
which rate an acre of slips set three
feet between the rows and Is inches
between the slips, would make $50
bushels-and Charlie Little at Sardis,
told us that he made over twelve
bushels of the Porto Rico variety
from 100 slips. West Tennessee is
the finest place in the world to grow
good sweet potatoes-not even ex-
cepting Florida, the original home of
the Nancy Hall, there called the
Florida yam.

for the condition of Henderson coun.

that all possible means should be tax

may not fail to understand the situa-

gested continuous publication Of the
finances Of the county, we were met
with the argument that the books of
the officials are constantly open to
inspection-which everybody knows
is an impossible or at least i'm

The Lexington progress. (Lexington, Tenn.) 1884-current, 1920-10-29

In these latter days the Republi-
cans are not so cocksure of success in
the November election as they were
just a few weeks ago. In the early
days, even before the "Marionette'
candidate was put before the people
to be manipulated by wires pulled in
the background, they said that the
most "onery" cuss in their ranks
would be elected almost without eff
fort, but they have come to realize
that it takes a man who stands for
something to gain the respect of the
American public-in spite of the fact
that Big Money is behind Harding,
just as it was behind poor General
Wood, who violated the eleventh
commandment" and was found out
too soon. The tide is turning toward
Cox and the Big People instead of
Big Money may yet win the day.

David Lawrence reports good news
from Kentucky, Notwithstanding the
Republicans have presumed to claim
it because the State elected Morrow,
Republican governor. The league of
nations is gaining ground every day
and race conditions have spurred the
Democratic men and women to action.
The Republicans have registered a
large number of negro women in the
city of Louisville and are counting on
a heavy vote from the women in the
Eastern and mountainous section,
which is heavily Republican-but the
full strength the state is Democratic
and the work of the Republicans has
spurred the Democrats to get their
strength to the polls. There is sim
liar conditino in Tennessee, as shown
by the fact that in Nashville three
negro women have registered to one
white woman. 1t seldom happens
that one party can be active without
arousing the other.
