- By Bob Dill, Publisher

The Slater-Marietta Lions Club was joined by more than a hundred leading citizens at Marietta First Baptist Church, Saturday afternoon, to honor a true gentleman and a living example of honesty, integrity. charity, modesty and unconditional love as described by his pastor, his barber, his friends and neighbors, his children and grandchildren.
Brock Adams will celebrate his 99th birthday this month. A farmer and textile worker for most of his life, Adams has arguably had a positive impact on more lives than any living resident of the Slater-Marietta community.
His County Council member, state Representative and Senator read proclamations enumerating his many accomplishments and contributions to his community, proclaiming a day in his honor.
His current pastor commended him for not being a “church hopper” and moving from church to church because of disagreements. Being disagreeable is not a part of Brock Adams. He has been a member of the same church most of his life and at age 99 continues to serve as a deacon.

The 16th SC Color Guard of Honor presented the Colors. A biography of William Dennis Crain, Jr. was presented by Mrs. Dot Bishop, Past President, Travelers Rest Historical Society. Part of Private Crain’s biography read as follows:
“William Dennis Crain, Jr., had five brothers at the start of the Civil War. When the war was over, he had two. Two brothers, Jasper and John, were excused from military duty because of their occupations. Jasper was exempt based on his textile mill duty in Augusta. The south needed cloth for uniforms, blankets and the like, so Jasper stayed behind. John was a bridge designer and builder and was exempted from military duty because the South desperately needed bridges and railroads for troops and supplies.

Greenville County GOP Executive Committee Discussed Support of RINOS and their Opponents
The Greenville County Republican Party Executive Committee spent most of their Monday evening August meeting time discussing rules governing county and precinct officers and the requirement that they refrain from openly supporting opponents of the party nominee in the General Election.
A planned resolution to wave a rule that would allow Executive Committeemen to support a petition candidate challenging United States Senator Lindsey Graham was never presented to the committee for consideration.
The rules state that a party officer forfeits his office if he supports an opponent of the party candidate.
The only motion that made it to the floor was one regarding the primary winner and Republican Party nominee for Superintendent of Education.

Lisa Benson, Talk Show Host Issues “Call to Action”

Lisa Benson, host of the Lisa Benson Radio Show for National Security, was guest speaker at the July Luncheon of the Greenville County Republican Women’s Club. Her topic was The Bible belt Under Shariah Assault: A Call to Action.
Lisa Benson described herself as a “conservative Jewish woman” acknowledging that most Jews in America are socialist Democrats.
She quoted Franklin Graham saying that a majority of Christians did not vote in the last presidential election. That contributed to the election of Barack Obama to a second term and contributed to the problems we face today.
