Excerpt from The Church in a Southern Mill Town: The Church of the Messiah, Mayodan, North CarolinaOf pure anglo-saxon extraction they have in a measure been cut off from the outside world for generations. Possessing little or no property and with limited school facilities they have grown up in poverty and ignorance. In the country they are renters or tenants, and having to pay from one-third to one-half of their crops for rent of land and tools they are able to maintain but a bare existence. In this section tobacco is the chief crop and whole families, including women and small children, can be seen working in the fields. On the whole they are a fine class of people - honest, hospitable and intelligent. From them have sprung some of America's substantial men. All they need is a chance.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
