The Tithing Habit W7ould Raise
The Thirty - Threev Millions
Sought For Education
J Southern Methodism is looking
i largely to the "spread of the tithing
habit among her membership for the
financial success of the Christian ed
ucation movement which is now
claiming the interest and attention of
that denomination.
Already more than 12,000 Metho
dists have signed stewardship cards
signifying their intention of setting
J aside one-tenth of their incomes for
charity and church work. The month
oj. March has been designated as
stewardship month throughout
Southern Methodism and on every
possible occa'sion during month the
j 17,000 congregations of this church
will be urged to adopt the principles
of tithing.
Leaders of the church have made
many interesting comparisons and
contrasts showing just what might
be accomplished if every Methodist
church member would tithe system
atically. They show that the collec
tion of $32,000,000 would be a very
simple matter if they could count
upon the tithe of all Southern Meth
odist income. They say that the low
est wage of any groupe of workers
recorded in the 1910 U. S. census is
that of the Alabama waitress, 57
cents a day, and that if the member
ship of the Methodist Episcopal
church, South, had only the per cap
ita income of the 1910 Alabama
waitress, and tithed it, there would
be available for religious work each
year $46,811,250. This would pro
vide all the money needed for the
maintenance and current expenses of
the church each year, pay the total
! annual payment of the centenary

A young white man, Ellis Deal, ef
fected a dariner escape from the
Burke county jail last Friday evening
between seven and eight o'clock. He
had been-allowed in the corrider of
the jail, which has in the ceiling a
comparatively small , elevator hole
into the attic. Those "who know the
size of the hole . wonder at his being
able to wriggle through it into-the
attic. Once there he went out
through the dormer window at the
front of the jail, cahying with him
two blankets which served mm as
ropes to lower, himself to the roof of
the north portico, from which he
jumped to . the ground. It was really

RUTHERFORD COLLEGE
This beautiful Easter Monday has"
called about all the industrious peo
pie to the gardening operations, and
the young people to creek banks fish- -ing,
and other forms of holiday
amusement, so that I can pick up but
little news.
Mere than half of the student body
has gone heme for the Easter holi
days, and quite a goodly number of
absentees are home with their loved
ones for the same purpose, some of
them bringing schoolmates with them.
Among the latter I note Misses Lu
cile Albright, Emma and Elizabeth
Howie, of. Davenport College, with
Miss Elliott.
The welcome presence of Mr. Lem
muel Clegg and Mr. J. F. Stough, for
mer students, were noted on our
streets last week.
Either the types, or my pen, made
me tell one" thing last week that was
not true. Three of the voune" mpn
'licensed to preach at the district con
ference were not teachers, but stu
dents, in the college here.
" I also noted the visitation of our
beloved Eishop U. V. W. Darlington,
but this did not come out in The
News-Herald, and I have been twice
asked why I did not make the report
of so vital an affair to our little town.
My guess was that my report was too
late getting in and so had to ho
printed only in part. Anyway, he
came, and though too tired from
overwork to preach, he baptized three
sets oi twins, and delivered a most
helpful address to the poor boys and
gins wno may think they have a hard
time working their way through col
lege. He had the same experience.
xne saying "where there is a will
there is a way" is nearly always true
with the young person who determ
ines to get an education.
On April 7th, at 7:30 p. m., the Hon.
B. L. Lunsford, of Marion, will deliv
er the regular monthly address in the
college auditorium. Subject: "Folk
lore in North Carolina." The public
is urged to come out and hear this
timely address. Those who claim to
know say this address is something
more than ordinary.
The Rutherford-Weaver debate was
pulled off at Weaver College March
19. Our team consisted hf M
tion of the Blessed Virgin Mary.. A
marble slab with a Latin inscription
in the north wall of the crypt will
mark his resting place. A Washing

the death or uarumai taiDDons was

universal sadness. '

THE POWER OFADVERTISING
G. A. Nichols, in Printer's Ink.
The January business in Marshall
Field ,& Co.'s retail store in Chicago
was the biggest in all its history.' It
was the biggest, in the amount of
money received for goods. And most
important ot all, it passed all records
in number of individual sales. You
know what Field, Carson, Pirie, Scott
ez uO Manaei .Bros., and the other
Chicago department stores have been
doing in the way of advertising since
the first of the year. They kept at it
day in and day out. As a result State
