One of the unique features of this campaign is htat suoscriptins turn ed in during the early period will count for more votes than in the fast stages of the contest. A steady decrease in vote value on subscrip tions will take place as the campaign progresses, and as a result suoscrip tions will count less the last week tl.an at any other time. The man agement is very anxious for all tiie members to understand the big ad vantage gained by early work in the unve. r^sitive assurance is given tnat this is the very biggest and best vote opportunity of the drive, and never again will subscriptions count as many votes as during the present period. Votes Well Win ihe prizes will 03 awaided at tie end of the campaign stnily upon a vote uas.s, and not on the number of subscriptions turned in. it is pos sible for a member to win one of the cars with a smaller arncunt of subscriptions provided tney are turn ed in during the early stages of the contest. Therefore it will be to ev ery member’s advantage to get in as many subscriptions as possible while they will count the moot VOTES. Votes, and votes alone will win. Without a doubt the member that is far sighted ann fortunate enough to get a comfortable lead in votes by the end of the present period will have a decided advantage to win first prize, as they would be hut 1 to over take by any competitor after vote Officers Ordred To untorce License Law According to Deputy Commission oner of Revenue, J. H. Norman, to uay is positively the last day in which users of 10d0 license plates ill be allowed to remain unmolest ed. The deputy commissioner display ed a letter from the state depart ment of revenue at Raleigh, to the •t-rfect tnat such a proclamation .w,uid go into effect all over the _iate today. All police officeis and sheriffs are notified to enforce the law.

A. E. Akers treas urer, and it will be promptly for warded to headquarters, according to Airs. Thos. Al. Jenkins, chairman. value has been reduced on subscrip tions. •wore Members Needed Outside More workers are needed in the outside district and the opportunity is great for some live wire to enter and win a car. Due to the fact that one of the cars must be awarded to someone residing outside of Roanoke Rapids and Rosemary makes the op pbrtunity even greater as they will j not have to compete with the work ers in the Twin Cities insofar as I winning one of the beauti'ul cars, j Folks living out of town are cordially i invited to send in their names and share in the distribution of these J splendid prizes. Act now and get the advantage of an early start. We need good workers in the following town ships: Halifax, Scotland Neck, En Brinkleyville and others.
