EXTRA PRIZES AROUSE NEW ENTHUSIASM Nine Days Remain To Pile Up Votes End of Extra Prize Period Also Marks End of Second Period in Vote Earning Power of Subscriptions Offering Double Incen tive to Effort. In view of several Inquiries made I over IIm telephone it seems advis-1 able to emphasize the following facts i in connection with the added prizes that The Advance has announced in 1 connection with its "Everybody Wins" Auto and Prize Campaign. The added prizes, consisting of , three orders on the Jewelry firm of Louis Selig of Elizabeth City for $25.00, $15.00 and $10.00, res pec-1 tlvely, will be awarde'd to the three contestants who from Wednesday, October 17, till 9 p. m. Saturday, Oc tober 27, turn in the three greatest amounts of new subscription money. May Win Two Prizes. Winning one of these added prizes In no way interferes with a contest ant's winning one of the regular awards, whether It be one of the two automobiles or a cash award, and all the votes earned naturally help con testants in winning the regular awards. Contestants are also reminded that an extension, or "second pay ment," of a new subscription Is con- ' sidered new in so far as counting to ward winning one of the added priz es, and also earns more votes for the big prizes to be awarded on Novem ber 3. In fairness to the subscribers, con testants are urged to turn In all new subscriptions with as little delay as possible. An Attractive Display It should prove an Inspiration to increased activity and energy, to glance In the windows of Louis Se ng's attractively arranged windows and see the many and varied beauti ful articles that the winners of the added prizes will have to choose from. Whether the winners wish to pick something for "Him" or for "Her," for Dad or for Mother, or wish to celebrate the occasion by getting something Mor themselves, they will find that making up their minds as to just what to chooee will be possibly harder than was the win ning of the prize.

Circus Eliminates All Gaming Devices A Few Members of Club; How ever, Indignant at Stand Taken, by Advance All wheels of fortune or drawing 1 schemes were eliminated at Wednes- [ day night's Shrine Club circus show and the various acts were the only j attractions.

Running the circus on the new basis is expected to put the local Shrine Club in the hole ?ir-the prop osition of bringing the circus here. . Some members of tho club accept the situation philosophically, appar- j ently taking the position that the venture wax a bad bargain; but that there now Is nothing to do but to see it through and take such loss as may ensue. Others are indignant, blaming The Advance (or the fact that the shrine Club will lose, and taking the posi tion that this newspaper's stand was |entirely uncalled for. "The Shriners knew what they .were getting," said E. F. Spencer to jan Advance reporter Thursday morn ling. "Nobody wenj into the tent ex , i>ecting to get their money's worth from the chance features. They went there to donate their money to a charitable cause. Chance devices were operated unhampered at the District Fair and all the money went out of town. In its criticism of the Shrine circus The Advance has made jit necessary for us to go down In ;our pockets and pay for goods that , we bought and proposed to sell for tho benefit of charity." "I wouldn't adverHw* In your pa per again if my goods rotted on the ?helf," said W. P. DufT, chiming in on the conversation. "And there are many moro," he added. However, only two advertisers have been heard from In this vein so far; though a prominent member of the Shrine Club did accost the editor I of The Advance Thursday morning to know the name of the writer of the editorial and news Item relative to the circus In yesterday's paper. The editor promptly assumed re sponsibility for the authorship of both editorial and news item. There was also an anonymous communication that would not have been worth printing even had the writer cared to give his name. ROBERT GARRETT BEGINS DEFENSE I'rotMTiition (iloned I. a ?
