Continuing along the same line the
, gentleman said: Some publishers
say they will lose their list II they ad'
vance the pricS Of satscfftt'ons. This
assertion is not borne. out by the facts,

have tried 1t and they know. What,
really, Is the result? II is this: The
advance In subscription will, In some
cases, drive away few subscribers,
but they will not stay away. Every
body wants the home paper, and few
can live without j.. In proof Of the
latter assertion I point. you to the
hundreds OF men and women through
out the country who borrow their
neighbor's paper because they can't
get credit for 1t from the publisher.
Raise the price TO 81 per year on all
newspapers OF the larger size, and take
no subscription for less than si.j0, no
matter II you print paper no larger
than 4 postage stamp. Do this and
you will make something. Fail TO do

be guide and light on hill for all
publishers who have been selling their
papers 50 weeks in the year for less

That the price OF blank news print
has materially increased during the

who has Investigated the market, can
deny. II makes no difference wheth.

refuses to consider anything less than

MEETS WITH CLERGY.
Bishop Beckwith ConferS with Minis
terS of Alabama Diocese.

Greensboro, May 14-(Special) ,
Prior to the meeting of the annual
council of the Episcopal Church do
cese of Alabama. which opens formal
ly here tomorrow at 1890 a. M, the
Right Rev. Bishop Beckwith met the
clergy both morning and afternoon in
social session.
Clergy day was ushered in by a
communion service for clergy only at
$3.50 o'clock. About thirty clergymen
are present and number of delegates
from all parts of the State. Rev. w.
+. Evans, u. D. of the Church of the
Advent, Birmingham, sustained his
reputation as a fine pulpit orator and
preached forcible and beautiful SER
mon at the evening service
st. Pauls was taxed to it's utmost
capacity to hold the large congrega-
tion which came in the pouring rain
The text was taken from Acts l, s, "Ye
shall receive power after that the
Holy Ghost is come upon YOU"
DR. Evans introduced the subject by
referring to the pointing of prophecy
to the descent of the Holy Ghost on the
day Of Pentacost. This descending of
the Holy Ghost was the baptism of
power. Prior to the day of Pentacost
the apostles were not prepared to
preach the gospel and so the Savior
commanded them to tarrY at Jerusalem
