A Large List We have added a large number to our subscription lis-t lately, and it is possible that among them some name may have been incorrectly reported, if such is the case please advise us as we want every one to get the Leader that is entitled to it. A Fine Lot of Walnut Lumber. Mr. Charles R. Bayns, is hauling a quantity of walnut timber to the freight yard at Mebane, for foreign shipment, that is the best of its character, we have ever seen. The logs are from 20 to 24 inches in diameter and contain a fine hard black heart to within a short distance of the bark. We do not belive there is any walnut lumber superior to this in this country. Owing to its very hard texture this lumber is not so desireable to cabinet makers but for this very reason it must be regarded as « superior wood. Mr. Bayns will make a shipment of between twelve ard fifteen tiuMsand feet. It goes to Germany. THE CONTEST CLOSES. To A Card of Thands.

S^ins Thanks For The Buggy Mr. EkJitor:- I want to express to you my sincere thanks for the nice rubber tired buggy the judges awarded me in your subscription contest, I worked for the piano, and wanted it, but as the other party had the most votes I could not win.

I worked hard for the piano, but I did not get votes enough to win it. Sincerely, Lottie Satterfieid. Depriving Electors Of Their Rights. There has been two elections in Meb- ane in which a number of its citizens have been depiived of their rights of suffrage, and it is some ones fault that such is the case. There is a newspaper in Mebane, and its editor is always anxious to give its citizens any in formation that would be of value to them. Notices should be published stating what is required to qualify a man to vote. In no sense can it be regarded as the correct thing to neg lect, or fail to give the public this in formation. Nelson Cooper Lumber Company changes their ad in this weeks Leader! This company make a specialty of finished lumber for interior or exteria house work. Sixteen thousand and two hundred and fifty dollars was awarded a man in Tennessee court a few days past for slander.

Coble-Bradshaw Company, Hardware Dealer Burlington, announces buggies, surries, harness, Davis paint, and Milwake binders in this weeks Leader. This is a popular firm who enjoy a splendid trade. Farm implements of every character. Chesnut Ridge Institute Closes Saturday May 6th. The Chesnut Ridge Institute will close Saturday. A very intersting program has been arranged for that date. Ex Governor Aycock, will deliver the annual address, and it is unnessary to ad that those who hear it will listen to something both interesting and instructive. There has been much talk about a local election to sustain the school. This is favored by fifty per cent of the people. There are about 80 scholars at this school Death ot Mrs. ^Ihurcli. Diei Sunday night at 9 P. M. Mrs. Ellen wife of T. A. Church. Mrs. Church was ill only for one week prior to her death. She suffered with com plications, and a week heart. Mrs. Church was 47 years old, she leaves 12 living children and her husband. Her remains was intered in the Pres byterian cemetary Tue&day morning. Miss F. B. McPherson a trained nurse from Salisbury came Sunday morning, but too late to be of service. The Leader tenders its sympathy to Mr. Church and family. Etiand Items Messrs Oswald Mayes, J. J. Brown, G. C. Thompson, Ernest Forrest and Marvin Pratt all attended commence ment exercises at Orange Grove last week. The Leader subscription contest clos ed Saturday evening with the follow ing resul's, Mias Daisy Miles 750,000 votes this being the highest she was awarded the piano; Miss Vivian Oakley 533,000 votes this being the next high est she was awarded the rubber tired buggy. Miss Lottie SatterfieJd had 455.000, this being the third ^highest she was awarded the ring.^ Miss Maggie Mitchel had 326,500 vot^ and viras given a handsome paize. Mae Reynolds had 105,000 votes bit had withdrawn from the contest ^ before it closed. Miss Ida Wilkinson 38,700 The manager of the contest extends thanks to all who participat«d, and is quite sure that no reasonable man who has the slightest regard for truth could say other than the most liberal and fair treatment was accorded to each contestant. In fact more than one hundred dollars in prizes was given away at its close, than was pro mised at the beginning. Every one could not get a piano, or a buergy, and necessarly some one had to be disa- pointed, but equal and exact justice was measured to all and sacrifices made to meet the asperity of disa^ pointment. Mr. W. W. Corbett and Mr. B. F. Warren two splendid young men in | whom the public have implicit confiden ce acted as judges and awarded the | prizes. | The first contest the Leader polled off something over a year ago j was simply for one gold watch, and the contest was closed in 30 days, in that time those who worked^for the premium brought to the office more than 200 anual subscriptions at $1.00 each. We were so gratified at t^e ^ result that we bought, and presented after the contest two handsome rings to two of the contestants. It cuts down the final benefits to us in the contest, but it is alright. If we do more than our duty, more than we promise to do, we are trusting for re- s ilts in the final making up of the account where the red line balance is drawn.
