THE COUEIEE ISSUED WEEKLY PRINCIPLES. NOT MEN ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR VOL. 46 Asheboro, N. C. Thursday, September 9, 1915 No. 35 T"""" j i : . ! THE VERY BEST OFFEROF THE CONTEST "BOOSTER PERIOD" BEGINS TODAY AND THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN THINKING OF ENTERING THE CONTEST FOR THE AU TOMOBILE SHOULD DO SO AT ONCE THE TIME TO INCREASE YOUR STANDING CLOSES THURSDAY NIGHT, SEPTEMBER 23RD, EXTRA PRIZE. WHAT A CLUB MEANS. In The Courier's Automobile and Piano Contest. Every club of twenty annual subscribers entitles tlu contest- ant to a certificate good for" ",00,000 bonus votes. This means that 20 annual subscrip- tions will count 070,000 votes. Clubs count more EXTRA VOTES now than they will at any other time during the con- test. This is positively the biggest and best bonus vote offer to be made during the contest. There is no limit to the num- ber of clubs the contestant may 6ecure. They should get as many as possible. A few clubs will put any con- testant in line for a big prize. The EXTRA VOTES make win- ning easy. Clubs are made up of three months, six, months, and one year subscriptions, old or new. The contestant starting an active campaign for votes right now may become a leader. The "club flush" is a good hand to hold in the contest. It is pretty sure to be a winner. Get your friends to organize a club for you. The more clubs the more votes. This period begins today and extends to September 23rd, at 12 o'clock p. m. ' .' (Today fl the beginning of BOOST- ft PERIOD in The Courier's great subscription getting contest, which means that friends of the candidates in the great race can boost for their favorite by paying a subscription and secure more votes for them now than at any further time in the contest. "Booster Period" meaii3 that it is Positively the best period in the con test for readers of The Courier to pay their subscription and boost their favorite. Booster Period means that every club of twenty annual sub scribers turned in before midnight, September 23rd, will count for 000, 000 extra votes over and above the regular schedule. This means that a subscriber who pays a yearly sub scription during this period will count a total of 18,300 votes for some can didate in the race or some person who wishes to enter. Twenty of these will mean 370,000 votes for some enter prising candidate. Remember that "Booster Period" ends September 23 ihnt never aeain during the con test will so many votes be given for a club of subscriptions. This is pos itively the biggest and best offer that will be made and it behooves every candidate to take advantage of the opportunity to boost his or her vote. Why Extra Votes are Given. Extra votes are given at the be ginning of the contest so as to insure the prizes being awarded to candi dates who actually secure the largest amount of business and to prevent persons with money coming in at the last of the contest, paying their own money on subscriptions and attempt ing to win the prizes over those who have worked hard and loyally for the paper for weeks. Under the vote of fer system, where the vote is several times greater in the beginning of the contest than it will he the last week of the contest it can be rt-adily soon that r.o person with sound mind would attempt to put in money the hist week of the contest because it would re quire several times the amount. This five.; the candidates who secure ac turl business early the advantage. The Courier wants the subscriptions, and not money. Every person wish ing to get into the contest should make a start during the "Booster Period" and every candidate already in the race should make hay, NOW, luring the "Booster Period." Their efforts during the next two weeks mean much towards success, i Now is The Time to Enter. ' The time is "ripe" to enter the con test. We want your name in the next published list of contestants. It is easy to get it there and it means much to you. Write the Contest de partment today that ycu want to win one of the big prize?. It is i n easy matter to do this. While the biggest vote of the whole contest is on you can easily get enough clubs to place your name among the leaders. Be gin now to get the clubs. Get your friends to make up a club for you. They will be glad to help you win a big prize. Now is the very best time in the entire contest to get busy. Just sit down and figure it out. Just think where a few clubs of 20 would place you.

At the time of going to press the case is still in the hands of the LATE WAR NEWS GREAT BATTLE BEING WAGED FOR RIGA GERMANS AD VANCE BIG ARTILLERY DUEL IN WEST. The fate of the important Russian port of Riga depends upon the big battle that is being waged in Court land. The Russians have stiffened their defense in this quarter and are stubbornly resisting every aggression of the German armies. The possess ion of Riga would place the German armies in a splendid position to ad vance on IV.rograd from a most fa vorable route. A! ng the rest of the Eastern front fierce fighting is in progress with the Germans gaining ground in the South. At other points in the line the Russians are deliver ing heavy counter attacks and have succeeded in holdi'ig the Germans in check. Alor.tr tlu Galician frontier the Russians are contending for every fo.t o-: g The great artillery duel in the west continues unabated. For a fortnight the Allies have been bombarding the German linos and at times following this bombardment with infantry at tacks. It is believed that the Allies are preparing for a big drive before the cold weather sets in. The Italians continue to advance along the Austrian frontier though at considerable cost of men. There are rumors that the Pope is making a strenuous effort for peace and these peace rumors are exciting considerable interest in England. Representatives of the English gov ernment declare that there will be no peace until the Prussian military ma chine is destroyed. Meager reports come from the Dar danelles. Slow progress if any is be ing made against the Turks. MOFFITT ITEMS Mrs. B. B. Brooks who has been visiting for the past week in High Point, returned home Monday. Misses fsther and.

ALLIES PREPARE FOR BIG DRIVE The :.'iimunition shortage of the Russian army seems tt have been cor rected, a -id the forces of the Czar, who is him-i-if in personal command of his armies, are more than holding the Gorman invaders in check. Some of the iT"-t sanguinary fighting of the war is in progress on the Eastern front. In places the Russians are for cing the Germans to fall back and at other points the- Geimans are hold thoir lines. General Joffre has made a vis:t ti the Italian front to confer with the Italian commander and it is believe-! that the Allies are prepar ing to make a big drive on the West ern f or. and age'n-t the Austran lines.

They are going to have a social on Wednes day night, September 15th, at which the parents will have an opportunity to meet and talk with the teachers for the coming year. It is hoped in this way that the patrons and the faculty will come to know and under stand each other better and be able to work harmoniously for the good of the school. It is not to be a formal meeting just a sociai hour. Nobody will be expected to wear fine clothes or fancy clothes. They want every parent to feel free ami have a good time. Re freshments will be served. The general public is not invited be cause the limited accommodations will not permit Invitations are being sent out to all patrons who will have chil dren under Prof. Wharton or any of his assistants this year. If any such have been overlooked it is simply an oversight and they are asked to come just the same. But there is not room for oven the children. It is hoped that as many as possible of the pat rons will go. It is to say the least an interesting experiment, and success is hoped for it. B'G SUIT IN BUNCOMBE Prof. H. H. Craven.
