NO EVENT OF RECENT YEARS HAH ATTRACTED SO MUCH AT TENTION AS THE AVIATION MEET TO BE HELD HERE SO. VEMBER 16 AND 17. ' Raleigh, X.' C., Nov. 1.?Interest In the Glenn H. Curtlss News and I Observer Aviation Meet Ib still un abated. In fact, the already intense interest manifested everywhere in North Carolina is declared by peo ple from every'section to be unpre-' cedented. The "Aero-Bug" has made his ap-j pearance and the "flying fever" is I now a State wide experience. The News and observer's Aviation manager's mall is something enor mous. and 1b growing with each day. Each mall brings hundreds of let -n every seotlon of North Car olina, and every writer is enthuslaa lastlc over the great event. One letter received yesterday from the mayor of a small town In Eastern North Carolina, says: "Our people are wild with enthusiasm. Every body here Is talking the flying ma chine language,'' and from the pres ent outlook it looks as though oui town will be depopulated on the 6th and 17th of November. This is only one of the many like expressions which are being received with each mall. Special low rates will be given on all railroads, and ample accom modations will be provided. The railroad people are preparing to handle large crowds, and they say it will be necessary to put on unusual equipment to take care of them, but they aay they are ready to meet the emergency, and will hive plenty of cars and special tarlns. Raleigh Is making every prepara tion to take care of the visitors and .will be ready for the big event. Up to the present time only one person has stated that- he did not want to fly, and his' reason, given in verse and printed in Sunday's paper, ended with these lines: "But If the thing should quit flying, I know I'm no bird." Notwithstanding thfs sound rea son, many requests from those who do not wish to fly continue to come. Among the requests received reetor day were several from men of state prominence and a number of IsJiee. If you want to fly send in your name to the News and Observer Aviitioj Manager, and it will be given to i?fr. j Curtlss' special representative with Other equeets. Reports frcqa every section of the] state indicate vone of the Mgg<wt ?vents that was ever pulled off in North Carolina.

Important Information por Everyone?Still Hope Remains? Race Close! The announcement of the special offers of this the period of flna? hopes final efforts and final reward ? In the News' European tour conte-jr. was greeted with great enthusiss.-i by the contestants, and every Indica tion points to the present period be ing the one of crowning victory for those who will but take advantage of this last opportunity.

Here are three distinct chsnnels through whlcU lout oppor tunities may to an extent be redeem ed. When the double vote offer was made we told you that never again would subscriptions count for so many votes, and you see now tftat | we told the truth. Those who wait ed for the "last minute offers" Bee now thpt they are not getting them 'any better than the ipcond period.
