The next scoring will be made Jan’y. 30th. With the close of the “Second Vote Offer” in The Record’s gift-giving campaign getting to be a matter of a few hours away, contestants are put ting forth their greatest efforts to win the leadership in the race for the Essex Coach and other valuable prizes. F? h club member in the race is] striving now to outdistance his or her rivals and to accumulate a sufficient number of votes to be the undisputed leader in th's race for the Essex r-ach and other prizes. The cam -rign is growing more and more keen r "he end of the present BIG VOTE draws near. _ : .s big offer pos'tively ends at' nine o’ lock Saturday night Feb’y. 6. j Many Changes Taking Place Candidates who have been slightly down in the list of standings are climbing steadily toward the top. This is, armor ntiy, making the ones who had a fwv more votes to their credit realize hat the margins of leadership are very narrow, and that it’s any body’s race for the Essex Coach or Ford Touring, and all other prizes in the list. Saturday Night, February 6th Is Last Day of Big Votes Coming out victorious in this race is the aim of every “live-wire” can didate, and from the activity that friends of contestants are showing it appears that there is intense rivalry every hand. Each candidate has h’s or her circle of friends who arc boosting for their favorites—and these “factions” are “up in arms” in earnest, pitching in with enthusiasm and energy, trying to put their favorite candidate “across the wire” first. Saturday, February 6th, is the last day of the present big vote offer, the biggest and best offer to be made in the entire campaign. Really it’s nar- j rowing down to a matter of only a very few days, and soon —almost be fore you know it —the closing hour of the big votes will be only a few min utes away. There is no time to lose —every single moment is of vital importance, and should be the means of pushing you just that much further toward success. 1 4 Big Subscriptions Count Most BON LEE WOMAN’S CLUB The Woman’s Club of Bonlee held a delightful meeting on Wednesday afternoon with Miss Myrtle Phillipis as hostess.

What Is Gossip Gossip, is a little insect that buzzes around, makes a terrible noise, and stings—but the sting doesn’t go deep. Did you hear that, “Mary Lizzie-Jones has 100,000,000,000 votes in her pos session?” Well, there’s nothing to it. These stories originated in “Oshkosh,” j and are designed by members of some | horseman’s club who are opposed to the automobile and who .further don’t believe in “woman’s rights.” . Discredit Such Stories , 1 Don’t think that any information as to how many i subscriptions you have turned in will be giten out. Every contestant will be fairly treat ed in this respect as well as in all j others. No favoritisnf will be shown anyone. V JUHNSOiVS STORE ROBBED^ When Mi*. S. D.

Evidence showed that he had tied a string to the trigger of his rifle, with the other end attached to the .door and so placed himself that by felaniming ■ t-Jie door the bullet, from the muzzle would enter his head Death was evidently instantaneous as life was extinct when a few minutes later his wife went to call him to dinner. ” A singular incident is the fact that only a few months ago, Frank Sears, a brother-in-law of the deceased fell dead from apop’exy within ten feet .of the spot where Mr. Dowd commit ted suicide. . , Attending the funeral which was held Thursday afternoon at Bethle hem church in Moore county were Lev.

National Highway 17 t Efforts Being Made to HaVe North- South Route through Pittsboro so Designated L --"Concerted efforts are to be made ioy towns a.ong tile proposed U. S. f highway No. 17 to -make the routing J a reality. For several weeks there f lias been a commotion ‘ in highway F erncles over the designation of North t i ano T ’Outh routes to be designated on f | U. S. road maps., as National High- ;• ! v ays. Raleigh won ever Durham. 1* : -this means that the proposed high- ,• , way maps would designate the Ra_ ;. | leigh-Sanfcrd highway as part of the b \ tourist routing through th : s section i, j es the state, while the Durham-Ritts- y ; boro route would scarcely appear ■ upon, the map. That does not please Durham,Ewh’ich. claims that the short i est routing from the Northern cities ■ to Jacksonville, Fla., is through that city, and of course through Pittsboro. * Accordingly, the *>eople *>f that -good city have begun an agitation to se cure an additional North and South routing on the U. S. maps, tb' be : designated as No. 17. A committee, composed of Lieut- Governor Elmer Long, W. L. Foushee, Mr. Budd, and another not just now | recalled, was appointed to visit the South Carolina towns on the proposed route and stir up an interest. The excursion, according to the Durham * Herald, Vas successful, and' a con- > certed effort will be made by those towns to get the S. C. highway com mission to approve the project and to recommend it to the U. S. authori ties directing the making of the map. V Likewise, on February 9, when the N. C. Commission meets, appeals are to be made by the N. C. towns on the proposed route for the endorsement of that body. Pittsboro citizens are expected to be in Raleigh that day and add their voices to the plea. The natter is urgent. When the maps are made the towns not on the designated routes will be at consider, able disadvantage with regard to tourist travel, and as the proposed route is estimated to be at least 75 miles shorter than the Richmond-Ra le gh-Columbia route the omission would be costly to the tourists too.
