" In what better way could Gastonians celebrate the glad Thanksgiving tomorrow than by helping the Orthopaedic Hos pital? Numerous calls are coming in from the orphanages all over the State, and they are deserving calls. Man must be hard hearted indeed if he does not respond to the cry of the fatherless and motherless children who are dependent on public charity for food, clothing and education. The various fra ternal and denominational orphanages in the State ought to be remembered by those who are able to give. The Orthopaedic Hospital here in Gastonia presents a cause just as worthy and needy. The directors are just now begin ning a campaign of building and they need every cent available. Would it not be fine if there could be found a hundred in Gastonia who would give the sum of ten dollars each? The N. C. Orthopaedic Hospital needs your assistance now worse than at any other time in its history. Help it get firmly started in its work for crippled, homeless children. THANKSGIVING. (By Mrs. G. Frank Hovis.) ine rustling oi tne golden autumn leaves and the tinge of frost in the air makes us feel the nearness of Thanksgiving. Never since the little band of Pilgrims on the bleak AtlantiV coast ceased their work for a day and gave thanks unto the God who gave them, has there been a time when a Thanksgiv ing should be more hallowed than our Thanksgiving of this year. j While some turmoil is still prevalent, still the chaos of the j great war ceases to be and peace has gently settled over the I world like the soft mantle of the evening shades. The long ' lines of khaki, who this time last year were marching to and i fro in foreign lands have been safely landed and the bovs are once again under the parental roof-to enjoy the Thanksgiving j viands of the old homestead, and not to subsist on hard tack I and corn beef doled out in small quantities. Does it not be- j fcoove us to set apart our work and make Thursdav a strictly lnanksgiving day and show our gratitude like the oeciman. of the Mayflower? THE RETAIL MERCHANT. We hear nowadays a great deal of discussion among some people, who think they know, concerning the profits of the re tail merchants in Gastonia and other towns. Some think that the retailer is altogether to blame, that he never runs the risk of losing a cent. Let's see about that. The Wilmington Dispatch in an excellent argument for the retailer says : "The retailer gathers the fruit of every climate, every land, and every country under the sun and he displays it on his shelves for you to select from as you may approve, or reject as you disapprove. He takes all the chance when he buys, you take none. The man who sells him gets the cash for what he sells him. The retailer then, takes all the chance again. He is the avenue through which every man who produces anything on the farm or in the factory finds a steady flow of current trade into the homes. of consumers. You are under no obliga tion to buy what your retailer offers you. The manufacturer or producer is under no obligation to take back what he buys. When he buys it he must sell it, or lose all he puts in it. You take no chance. The manufacturer or producer takes no chapee, "And yet, we are told, the government agents in some sections are openly seeking to try to make the retailer the goat! "Think a moment before you seek to hamper the man who is the mainstay of your community, and of the world of in dustry and commerce." NOT A COUNTRY WEEKLY It is not a country weekly, as it is so often called, but a com munity newspaper. That's what the home town newspaper is even if it is published in a small town or city, says The Ohio Newspaper, ihe new publication of the department of Journal ism at Ohio State University. Just because it is printed in a town or village, the sir. ill newspaper should not be character ized by the term "country weekly." Continuing the student paper says : "The implication is offensive and wrong. No newspaper that is properly conducted lacks importance. It is the voice of the community in which it circulates, reciting the news of the locality and helping to form the public opinion necessary to its progress and its cooperation with other similar com munities. It is not a thing to be belittled, or to be ashamed of. The newspaper published in a town or village is as im portant and necessary, in proportion to the size of its field, as is the largest city paper, and it may be even more worthy of respect." All party differences arising from the primary are forgot ten. All are united on Hoey and expect him to give More head a worse beating than the popular Yates Webb ever gave an opponent. There are hundreds of orphans in the State who are wait ing for a generous contribution from you tomorrow. See that you get it ready. Gastonia needs a Y. M. C. A. building. Gastonia needs more houses. What Bapti lav B(0)i SOME CENTRAL BAPTIST TRUTHS Jesus, Man's Only Saviour. Absolute religious liberty for all, Jew and Gentile alike.

Through Joseph Hughes, Baptists founded the first Bible societies; B. F. Jacobs, a Baptist layman of Chicago, originated the International Uniform Sunday School lesson system, Marshall A. Hudson, a Baptist layman of Syracuse, N. Y., originated the Baraca Sun day School Class Movement. The U. S. census shows that during the past ten years Baptists have increased more rapidly in this country than any other denomination.
