BATTLE OF BALLOTS BEING WAGED
AS CLOSING HOUR DRAWS NEAR
Efforts Final Week
Will Decide Winners
GLORIOUS RACE IN PRO
GRESS?ALL HAVE
EQUAL CHANCE
The Franklin Times Subscrip
tion Campaign Has Only
Eight Days More to Run. A
Week from Tomorrow Night
And the Winners will Be
Announced. Who will they
be? Candidates Must De
cide These Few Remaining
Days. Stout-hearted, De
termined Contenders Will
Surge Ahead to Break Tape,
The Winners. Every Sub
scription is of Vital Import
ance, So Close is the Race.
Judges Announced Today.
Now comes the big week of the
campaign. The big week that the
candidates have been waiting and
working for. The week that will de
cide who will stand or who will fall
in the battle of ballots for the big
prizes to be awarded a week from to
morrow night.
What a wonderful race it Is. As
the remaining contenders toe the
mark for the final spurt to the finish
line where stand the prizes, we see
no handicaps, no advantages for any
in tne list. All stand equal-all have
an equal chance. As yet no one can
didate has accomplished enough to
give her an advantage, or a lead that
might hold till the close. It means
that those who have worked hard dur
ing the campaign must double their
efforts this final week if they expect
to win.
We all love to see a good, clean
race. We are absorbed, thrilled, fasc
inated. As we watch the racers their
glorious efforts are transmitted In
part, it seems, to us, and we restrain,
with an effort the, urge to dash down
to the track and help our favorite on
to victory.
This campaign has all tse elements
of such a race. You wish to help
your favorite candidate in the race to
win. You can help by subscribing,
first of all, and by encouraging by
word and deed her efforts.
Never, in all his experience, 'has
the campaign manager witnessed the
equal. Has never conducted such a
close, such an exciting race, with so
many contenders striving mightily,
straining every nerve to obtain the
load, maintain the lead, to corral the
precious, the winning votes, as the
closing hour draws nearer and near
er.
No doubt the folks of the county
also have caught the enthusiastic
spirit of the candidates, aa they wateh
from the sidelines, as it were, the ef
forts of their favorites. The candi
dates who make the mightiest efforts,
display the most enthusiasm, and
who convince their supporters that
they are in the race to win that first
prize, will attract and hold the atten
tion of the public.. The progress of
those candidates from now on will be
reflected in the practical support In
the way of subscriptions that are giv
en them as they make their final ap
peal.
All are deserving of suocess in
measure to the amount of effort put
into their individual campaigns. Nat
urally the public wishes to know Just
bow its favorites stand, what are
their chances of winning f Only the
candidates themselves can answer
that question. How? By the sub
scriptions they are able to obtain
from now to the closing night, a
week from tomorrow night. By the
help they get from their friends and
supporters and those who have prom
ised to give their subscriptions, or
pay part or all of what they owe on
arrears. Just a few, short days to
go. Too short, but much can be ac
complished by a determined, enter
prising contender. Places in the race
will change, the leadership will
change, and the final answer must be
made by the candidates themselves by
the unsparing devotion they give to
their Individual campaigns every day
until the close of this great race
In their q4*"t tor extension sub
scriptions candidates are advised not
to overlook new subscriptions. There
are many folks In the county, not now
taking The TIMES who would be
clad to take their home paper, THE
FRANKLIN TIMES, in order to help
you win an auto. All subscriptions
go toward the twenty dollars for the
big extra 80,000 votes, and those ex

expected to return to his old home
at- Dignn on that data. However, be

hilt heretofore he has shown an un
willingness to leave Shelby where In

8CCH IS LIFE
Ita a constant thing for people to
call on the local newspaper for free
advertising, boosting something they
expect to profit from and Immediate
ly send paid for printing to out of
town printers to do. They don't re
alize that it costs the local printers
real money to produce the free ad
vertising for which they show so
little appreciation. They don't real
ise that a paper la published at con
siderable cost and If local Interests
don't give it support it cannot exist
to handle the free advertising. It
takes cooperative spirit to build a
good newspaper for a community.
But what hurts the local printer most
la the lack of appreciation of his ef
forts to cooperate. But such la life.

est to the tobacco grower. This la

entomologist Ten thousand copies of
the circular were printed and thoao
who desire a copy may have one fee

the principal insects affecting the to
bacco crop and suggests methods of
control. Mr. Brannon says that the
methods advocated have been used by
practical tobacco growers and have
been found effective. That the dam
age by the Insects may be recognised,
a number of photographs are used
showing typical damage by a particu
lar pest.
Tobacco Insects cause the loss of
many thousands of dollars each year
