Rev. L. G. Elliott,
Pastor First Baptist
Church, Did Not Send
Out Salesmen
Rev. L. G. Elliott, "pastor of the
First Baptist church, denied from
the pulpit Sunday and also in a
signed statement given this news
paper yesterday that he had never
endorsed certain magazine sales
men working in the community.
Rev. Mr. Elliott said: "certain
magazine salesmen, alleged to be
students for the ministry, are go
ing in the homes of this commu
nity and telling the people that I
sent them.
"I have never sent a salesman of
any kind to the homes of our peo
ple, and I do not intend to unless
I am convinced that it will be wel
comed and appreciated by the peo
ple. These young men in our com
munity last week did not come to
see me and ask that t endorse them
and their work. I have never seen
them, but they have deliberately
used my name without my knowl
edge and consent."

The general condition of tobac
