Will J get a prise, if so what one?" "Will Miss Blank be a. prixe winner?" Just a if the contest man knew, or could tell h'm If he did. It shows the wide spread Interest of the contest, though. It fhows how anxious some people ar to help their friends at the last show down: and It pleases the management of the New and Observer to know that 'he close of this contest will mark the close of the greatest, fairest anil largest popularity contest ever held in the Carr.liuJs.

The Burroughs Adding Machines are known throughout the world for their reliability, simplicity, and with the ease with which a large amount of work can le turned through them The management of Tlie News A oil Observer was very glad to take ad vantage of the generous offer Mr. Pearce kindly made, and feels sure that 11 candidates will have greater reliance on the accuracy of the ma chines than they would have had on human addition.

(Special to News and Observer. ) Inolr. N. C. April 22. Tday about noon the businese section of the town was a scene of excitement, oc casioned by a difficulty between a white man named Blair Bryant and a negro. The cause of the trouble is said to be the out cropping of a diffi culty between the negro and a boy of Bryant's, who was driving a team on the streets to a scraper filling up a sewer ditch. The negro was handling the scraper. The negro abused the boy by applying vile epithets a-nd threatened to do him bodily harm, and had his pockets Ailed with rocks In order to he ready for a fuss. The trouble commenced on College avenue, and the negro ran several hundred yards with the older Bryant in hot pursuit with a pistol In his hand. He fired several shots at the fleeing negro as he crossed, the busi ness section of town. The negro was arrested and Bryan submitted. The trial was set for Saturday after noon. Bryant . is out on bond and the negro U in jail, being unable to give 'security. i Registration -books ckme Katun toy t. sunset- Every Democrat' In -xrold reayeiuber It la new (Jet your same on the ywwa pwr o rote la the Hay elty , : THE Mill S7SD " 'GMIIID PiQ Piano of Tone, Quality and Finish THE piaho The Tliirxl Grand Prlxe in the Newa j and Observer Popularity CoiitCMl , , tlie S75U Miller Grand Piano. ur . j cliaHeU fom liriM-ll & TlMtfim' MuhIc Store, Raleigh, a Beautyj In purchaxing the Henry K.

Muscles and Tendons of His Foot strained. (Rockingham Post.) Hon. Martin C. Freeman of Hamlet. Uichmond's popular nnd efficient pepresentative in the Legislature, met with a very painful accident last week. He was at his saw mill and was on flop of the boiler busily engaged In -sf rewing up a loose bolt. The wrench slipped, throwing him to the ground. Where he fell with his whole weight rm one foot.

The Ford car, offered as one of the leading prizes in Tlie News and Observer's big contest. Is from one of the largest automobile factories In the world, situated at Detroit and repre senting an outlay of over one million dollars for plant and equldrnent. This faotory has prepared to build 25.000 Ford automobiles in lSK-'J to partly supply the demand for a low-prices car. With a day and a r.lght fore, and with every department working full time, no order can be tilled within three to four weeks. Henry Ford, Je- slgner of the famous Ford car. an-1 president of the company that builds them, says that the present year, de spite the recent panic, w'll show more sales of automobiles th.tn any four preceding years combined. . The Ford was the first low-priced high-power, light-weight automobii- to lc placed on the American market, and still holds Its popularity in th face of many other low-priced cais which have subsequently appeared. The 1.000 pound runabout which appeared in 1104 under Ford s name is still considered an up-to-date tar, although onlv a few changes have been effect ed In its construc tion. There are many trophies and prlises which have been won by th Ford, embracing hill-climbs, races nnd endurance contests, not only in this country hut (n every civiliz land where automobiles are known. It was a little 15 -horse power Ford car that John Park, of North Caro lina, drove from Raleigh to Morehead in 108. at the time of the eastern floods, through a country whrfch. no other automobile had ever traversed before, nor has any one done bo since. The remarkable part of Mr. Paik's long journey was the fact that no repairs or adjustments of any kind were required on the car. even thou'i it fell through a bridge and was to tally submerged in a river at one time. Two little Fords will leave New York on June 1st for Seattle. Washington, for a trip across the continent in com petition for the Guggenheim trophy. Their light construction and high pow er will show up their ull value in this gruelling test. Vanadium steel, which has been used in Ford cars for three years, will be the main dependence in this trans-continental run and will prove that Fords are built of the risiit kind of materials for hard service. It is not a very difficult matter t build an automobile and make it heavy, but the 'designer's "skill is fully tested in building a light-weight -ar that will "stand the racket." A liglit car means more power, better hill climbing and speeding ability, easier up-keep. less gasolene. fewer tires and longer service. The Ford touring car. which TU" Xews and Observer is going to giv to some fortunate person represents the highest type of development which the Ford Motor Company, with all Its capital, its skilful designers and workmen, and its modern plart. can produce. Twenty full horse power In Its engine, with only l.'OO pounds of weight for the entire car is cer tainly a desirable feature to the man who wants a car for service. The.-'-is a magneto included In the equip ment, making the power plant almost Infallible under any conditions of ser vice. Tltc News and Observer Ford car is fully guaranteed by the Carolin -. (Jarrase and Machine Company, of KaletKh. who have the car on exhibi tion at their garrage.

Don'ts of Reading In lied. A German physician, in order to In vestigate the exact kind of injury which reading in bed inflicts upon those who practice it. used himself for experimental purposes. He found thus, by personal experience, that th eyes are made to suffer when in this position for two reasons first. be cause the light is usually insufttcler.i and badly placed, falling on the eyes instead of the book or paper; and sec ond, because it Is difficult while re clining to hold a book so that the ben- fit of the use . of both eyes lie obtained. This ratter is espe cially the case when the reader is ly ing on one side. Another bad habit is that of holding the book too near the eyes, thus producing myopia. No one under 18 years of age should be allowed to read In bed. Since a lare number of persons, especially, chronl? invalids, will insist upon reading in bed, suggestions by which the .inju rious effects can be minimised are as follows: The llsit should be suffi ciently brilliant, with the eyes shaded from It and the reader should lie on his back with his bead and shoulders raised. For both daytime and. night reading the greatest care must be tak en to have the light fall on -the. book or paper and not. on the eyes.
