There were about IS Demo
Gratis present for the meeting
which is much larger than the
usual handful of party faithfuls
who meet and choose delegates
Interest has apparently been in
creased this year over the possib
bility of a fight on how to in
struct the state delegates to the
National Convention that viii
meet this summer to choose a
presidential candidate. There is
also the overture of a politica-
fight within the State, setting
Byrdmen against Anomalies
These battles may or may moi
materialize. but the possibility is
always there.
John C. Steck was chosen
chairman of the meeting with
W. B. Wall as secretary.
A series of motions were made
by Frank Nat Watkins that were
adopted by the Prince Edward
group. The first resolution i'm
posed the unit rule on the dele
gates. This means that the county
will have to vote all II votes one
way CT the other, rather than
having the votes split.
The second resolution provides
that the delegates attending must
cast all II votes of the county
Thus if ore delegate is absent
the remaining delegation can
cast his vote.
The third resolution gives the
delegates the power to appoint
alternateS or proxies. A final
resolution states that the dele
gates go minstructed in any mat.
ter" This gives them freedom
of action to represent the county
as any fight develops on the con-
vention floor.

BAPTIST DEACONS ORDAINED
IN SWAN QUARTER CHURCH

The five Baptist churches in
Hyde County joined together No.
vember 6 in the Swan Quarter
Baptist Church for an impressive
service of ordination for three of
their members chosen by the
churches to serve their church as
deacon and deaconess.
The Rev. Joe Lang, pastor of Bap-
fist churches in Fairfield, Engelhard
and Sladesville delivered the Ordi-
nation Sermon, pointing out the
great need for them, and all other
deacons and Christians alike, to
conduct themselves in such way
as to bring credit and glory to the
name of Christ. The Rev. Ector
Hamrick, pastor of the Swan
Quarter Baptist Church rendered
the Ordination Prayer. After the
singing of the hymn, How Great
Thou Art, by Miss Linda Harris of
Fairfield, Mrs. Dan Berry of Swan
Quarter was ordained as the first
Deaconess ever to serve in her
church, an honor to one who has
served her church faithfully and
devotedly through many years in
which she has seen as few as two
members active. Earl Berry and
Max Hodges were ordained from
the Engelhard church and both are
very active in their own church.
Mrs. Berry, the newly ordained
Deaconess, gave the benediction.
Churches represented were Rose
Bay, Engelhard, Fairfield, SHADES
vile and Swan Quarter.
