I THE PRINCIPLE IS WRONG local newspaper that goes out to its subscribers is an advertisement of the home town and county. And it should be remembered that the more business houses that are represented in the ad vertising columns of a newspaper, the better advertisement for the home town. Discussing the worth of a news paper, the Fayetteville Observer says: “A newspaper is the most unique ‘Hen- He quotes also from part two of ry IV.” ,, The president of Hampden-Sydney denies that Southerners say “you all” when they mean one person. To affirm that they do is simply to set up a man of straw “for the fun of knocking it down,” he thinks. He tells of a man who “has been in every state of the "South and talked with people of ev ery grade of society * ♦ from the most illiterate to the most intelligent” institution ^in the history of the world.; without once having heard ‘you all’ It is the only business enterprise, con-1 this way.” ducted upon business lines and in a perfectly legitimate manner that ac tually serves the progressive life of AT CALVARY BAPTIST Regular services will be held Sun day morning at Calvary Baptist church with the pastor.

LET’S FINISH THE JOB Announcement is made in the news coFumns of today’s paper that the final wind-up of Clinton’s campaign for Presbyterian college will be made on humanity. It seems to me, as Mr. Guest pointed out in his article, that those who believe in and attend church have something in their favor. I go to church because it is a relaxa tion to my physical body and a re freshment to the spiritual side of my life. I go to church because I am selfish tomorrow. It will be recalled that a drive was recently inaugurated here ; and that selfishness is partly whipped to raise $50,0000 as the community’s ' out when I hear a sermon on “The No- for you, brethren, as it is meet, be cause that your faith groweth ex ceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth.” The expression occurs also in the first chapter of the first Epistle to the Thessalonians, The Herald points out, where is found the verse begin ning: “We give thanks to God always for you all. The Herald editorial was written by J. D. Eggleston, president of Hamp den-Sydney college. The Greek, as lit erally translated, he said, would be but “the translators w^re vou contribution to the debt liquidating bility of Self-Surrender,” or “Great-j j'n translating the Greek into ness Through Service.” After hearing' » because the exi#ression was sermons of that kind the better part of my pature is more apt to respond.

I and tomorrow’s drive is to see these want my clrildren to have a share in iiMlividuais and get their subscrip tions. As we have before stated, there is no attempt on our part to say to any ' one just how much he should give. It is the duty of each one to determine that for himself. But we do^ say that in this love-offering for our college that we should all be interested and have a part in the undertaking by re making the world better and I know of no more suitable institution for that than the church. Then, I want the church to contin ue. If no one went to church, she would not last. She is perpetuated by those who attend her services. I go to church because it was in and through the church that I found .ny- self. Ther^ a richer resolve was made. a not uricewmon one in literary cir cles in England in 1611, the time of the King James version of the Bible.” Mr. Eggleston cites other passages in the Bible in which “you all” is em ployed • in the idiom of the' South, and he points out that Thackery used it twice in “Henry Esmond in exactly the same way that it is employed in Virginia, and put it upon the lips of Viscount Castlewood; and he quotes from Jane Austen’s “Pride and Pre judice” the question put by Lydia: “What has happened to you all since you went away?” Whereas the Apos tle Paul in his Epistles to the Thes salonians was addressing a large grroup of people, Lydia, he explains, jS was speaking either to two persons' jSS or to three.
