This will enaole the candidates to Put out into the sections that have ,bec.ii isolated because of the bad roads. Ail contestants have agreed to this and are well pleased to have the additional time. The above is the comparative stand ing of aT Candidates for the week enu.ng Saturday, January 16th, in The Record's race for the Essex coach and trie Ford Touring Car, and the otuer valuable prizes. The next spring will be made Saturday Jan. 23rd. Saturday, Feby. 6th. Saturday, Feby. 20th. Those are the two dates all Pitts boro and surrounding territory are watching wTh interest. Th6 hrst marks the close of the present big “Second Period” vote of fer, and me second is the closing day oi the Record's Salesmanship CiuD Campaign. Reference to the calendar will show that both days are not lar otf —they ’ wi.l be here and goxie almost before you reaLze it. Four weeks from next Saturday night and the most exciting and inter esting race ever staged in Chatham county will come to a close. There are many of the contestants right up at the top of the list. The d.herence in their standing is oi small consequence. A day’s harn work would make a great difference in the standing of any one of those at or near the top of the list. All sections of Chatham county are npw more or less interested in the; outcome of this race. In fact, there is not a spot left in the territory where you will not find an enthusias tic booster for one of the candidates, j Day by day the race gets warmer. Wno will win tne Essex Coach or Ford Touring is a burning question, and will soon be decided by tne votes of the subscribers of the Chatham Record. This is the closest race, thus far, that the Record's Club Manager has ever experienced in the conducting of •circulation drives. Campaign Will Soon Be Over The candidates know it only too well. That’s why they are exhibiting speed and hustle as never before. For the greatest newspaper campaign ever conducted in this section will soon be over and the next sixteen days of the present vote period may de cide the winners *of the many valu able awards to be distributed to the winning candidates in the campaign. Every effort is now being centered on the present vote period, as most of the candidates realize the urgency of getting the votes now to hold their position during the home stretch of the campaign. The present vote offer is the big gest and best remaining vote induce ment of the campaign. Up to Satur day night, February 6th, subscrip tions will count many more votes than they will later on. The wise candidate will get in ev ery possible subscription before the close of the present offer and amass a good vote total. The Hcnor Roll Every candidate in the list should try for the Honor Roll each day. Send The Chatham Mecord - in subscriptions just as fast as you secure them. Try to get your name on the Honor Roll column at least once during the week. Show your friends that you are working hard—show them that you are deserving of success. The Honor Roll column shows just who the hard est workers are. The Honor Roll winners for this week are printed above. They are the candidates who turned in the greatest amount of collections this week. The candidate turning in the most received the Special Distinction of Honor Roll Candidate and also got 50,000 Free Honor Roll votes. Counts More Now Votes piled up now when every subscriptions counts more votes, will be hard to overcome. Every time a candidate turns in sls, besides the big schedule of regular votes they get 100,000 extra votes. After Saturday, Feby. 6th, the regular vote schedule takes a big drop. In every section candidates are working like beavers so as to put on the books to their credit the largest possible number of votes. A beautiful race it is—between every community and its representa tive candidates —all going strong and full of enthusiasm, all confident of winning. And the early termination of the second vote period offer is just why every candidate in the, list should be doing his best. Get Busy—Keep Busy—and Win! Throw your whole force into the campaign and make doubly sure of winning the prize of your choice. It is truly “anybody’s race” up to this time and a few long term sub scriptions turned in right now wopld make new leaders. Honor Roll N During the second period, from Jany. 18th to Feby. 6th, the Honor Roll will be established, and the fol lowing will be effective: I For the best cash daily report, e I certificate good for 50,000 extra votes will be issued. For the best daily report on subscriptions, a certificate good for 50,000 votes will be issued. It will be possible for a candidate to win both these extra certificates in one day. Contestants should, by all means, make an effort to get on the Honor Roll. This will show to your friends that you are working. Extension Subscriptions Monday morning, January 18th, the Second Period started. Workers will now give their time and attention to EXTENSION SUBSCRIPTIONS. This is a most important announce ment. Read it carefully. A subscrip tion extended by a subscriber who lias given a subscription in the first period is called an EXTENSION SUB SCRIPTION. For instance, if you get a subscription from a subscriber who has paid a subscription in the first period you will be entitled to take credit for a two year sub scription. In other words, add the number of years one extends his sub scription to the one he has already paid, then take credit for the full number of years. ' EXTENSIONS WILL COUNT UP FASTER THAN ANY SUBSCRIPTION YOU CAN GET. Go back to -your friends and show them how they can really help you now and they will be glad to EXTEND THEIR SUBSCRIPTIONS When you write an EXTENSION please designate same on report sheet PITTSBORO, N.

O.” “You can bank on me for one of the Big Frraos,” »aya llrs. Clara Har rison. “Balfrvs me, I need a ear, too.” Yes, the campaign is developing into a pretty race, with changes in the line-up each and every day. Honk! Honk! HONK! And the Second Period Aids, Satur day Night, February 6th And, unless the “dope” is wrong, the next automobile eensws taken in Bear Creek i« going to show an in crease. If you don’t think so, then just ask ?4rs. Leola Fitts Brooks. She says she KNOWS! Watch these out-of-town candidates go—they are in the race TO WIN. DON’T WISH— ACT! And don’t be afraid of having too many votes. The subscriptions you secure in the next sixteen days may decide the Prize You Will Win. Remember that the Second Period ENDS ON SATURDAY NIGHT, FEBRUARY 6TH, AT 9 BELLS. Don’t overlook the day and date! Keep your weather eye on Mr. B. D. Thrailkill. He is in to WIN, and his entire section is with and for him. Mrs. M. Mann says that the roads around her territory will be in ex cellent condition for her New Car.

Keep your eye on some ox tnose ; w h o m ay be down in the list now— you cannot always, sometimes tell, you know! BUILD CLUBS AND WIN! Re member this: The unknown strength of candidates is what puts them OVER THE TOP. If your voting strength is Ever Known, you Will Never Win! There can be no mistake about that. Don’t be afraid of getting too many votes. That Never Did Happen. The more votes you get the more it will take for the others to win. Listen! —Do not underestimate the other fellow’s vote-getting power. That sometimes beats a Real Worker. Yes Sir, when you meet a worker who has a smile on his or her face, you are more than likely looking into the eyes of a Winner.^ MRS. ANNIE H. EUBANKS Mrs. Annie H. Eubanks, widow of the late Rom S.
