Stanly county folk are overlooking
some "easy money" in the form of
big prizes in the Salesmanship Club.
In fact the interest that has been
hown thus far in The Albemarle
Press' great offer is negligible only
three people have come forward up
to this time and requested receipt
books. If the first prize was a pair
of roller skates instead of a 1926
model Buick sedan and the second
uri2e was a dollar watch or a sand
wich instead of a classy 1926 model
Chevrolet touring car one would not
wonder why more people had not en
tered the race. The prizes are the
most attractive that have ever been
ff0roH in this section before and
there :s a larger number of them. If
nlv nri7.e in the list was the
W1C w.t.j x t
$300 diamond ring that is on display
at Starnes jewelry store, that prize
alone would warrant at least a score
entering the race to compete for it.
But that is only one of the prizes
and the third one at that. There is
a beautiful three-piece living room
suite at the Morgan Furniture com
pany that was purchased to reward
someone for his or her efforts during
the short five-week period of the
campaign. There are seven big
prjzesany one of which would jusi
fy many times the effort that will
be necessary to win it.
Campaign Plan New.
The plan of the Salesmanship Club
campaign is an entirely new one in
this section and all who have investi
gated it have complimented The Press
upon its fair and impartial working
basis. All subscription votes are
counted at the end of the race in
stead of during it, thus assuring all
of its absolute secrecy regarding the
relative standings of the workers un
til after the race is over. Many en
tirely new and novel features have
been injected into the working plan,
all of which have a strong appeal to
the person who is accustomed to in
vestigating a business proposition
closely.
Ha Not Yet Started.
The rules of the campaign provide
that the race is to start with the an
nouncement of the candidates' names.
Probably there are some who have
been thinking seriously of entering
the race and are "on the fence" so
to speak. Let it be stated here and
now that the opportunity to win a
big automobile in five weeks' spare
time was never brighter than in the
Salesmanship Club and opportunity
never knocked louder. There surely

County School Given Final Opening
Date Oct. 19 Board Applie
for Building. Fund.
The county board of education, in
addition to its routine work, had
many items of importance coming be
fore it Monday in its regular ses
sion.
Final opening date for county
schools was fixed at October 19. This
was due to the early season and
harvesting of crops.
The board made application to the
state board of education for $3o,000
from the third special building fund
for a buildine at Oakboro, and for
S20.000 for a building at New Lon
don, and $15,000 for completing the
building at Richfield. This would
bring these schools to a very advanc
ed point of building needs.
The salary of all truck drivers was
definitely fixed at $15 a month for
two trips, and $10 a month for one
trip.
The board also discussed at length
the Droblem of varying district terms.
district tax rates, and tuition. The
hoard baa for some few years volun
tarily provided eighth and nintn
grade work in a few consolidated six
month school terms. While such high
school work is not recognized or ac
cepted as standard high school work,
ye- it has helped many communities
o get a little hign scnooi training
above the seventh grade. .ven
though all such pupils must be re-
,mrtt.H nt the end of the year to tne
state board of education as enrolled
in elementary schools, the only solu
tion the county board could make at
present was to otter eigntn ana ninm

There will be seven presiding elders
who have served out a term of four
years, and out of the clerical mem

many ministers who have completed
four years of service to their pres

about quite a "shaking up," and no
forecast of the work of the cabinet

be made at this time.

Farm Lands Need
More Hay Legume
A large acreage is being seeded to
harry vetch, oats and barley for an
early hay crop. This is a very wise
move and more farmers should sow
these crops. One of the great needs
of the county is more good legume
hav. Those desiring to sow harry
vetch should be certain to innoculate
the seed. Harry vetch is one of our
finest winter legumes and will do well
on almost any type of soil if innocu
lated is provided. Otherwise it will
turn yellow and die. This inocula
tion can be had by putting in a re

secured from a field that has grown
harry vetch successfully. The seed,
if they have been inoculated, should
not be subjected to the sun light or
drilled in with fertilizer. Either will
kill the inoculation. The seed should
be sown either late in the evening or
on a cloudy day in front of the drill
or harrowed in.
Fertilizing the fall crops should
be studied very carefully. The small
grains require fertilization high in
percentage of phosphoric acid and
three to four per cent of amonia pot
ash. On good clover sods, from 400
to 600 pounds of 10 per cent acid
has made very satisfactory yields.
With the average type of unim
nroved soils a complete fertilization
has proven to give best results with
small grain. From 200 to 600 pounds
of high analysis fertilizer like 16-4-4,
12-3-3, 12-4-4 should be applied per
acre.
In studying this fertilization prob
lem it has been found that the high
er grades are nearly always the
cheapest. For instance, an 8-2-2
sells for $26.00 per ton while a
16-4-4 sells for $39.50. One ton of
the 16-4-4 is equivalent to two tons
of the 8-2-2. This would be a sav
ing of $12.50 per ton in favor of the
16-4-4; in addition to this there would
be less tonnage to haul. The amount
per acre could be decreased.

The county board of education in
regular session Monday, October 5, is
sued an order that all schools
Stanly county begin not later than
Monday, October 19.
As attendance officer of the county
I want to urge that all parents take
notice and make it a point to start
children in the first day so that no
time may be lost. There are some
people, not many, who make it a point
not to send the first two weeks of
the school, whether it begins early or
late, it makes no difference. These
same people find excuses for stopping
their children in the spring about a
month before the school closes. There
is no law for this and it is a viola
tion of the law just as much as to
keep children out of school the first
dav as it is any day during the school
term. This neglect on the part of a
few people brings down the average
attendance for the year and thus
shows the school up in the wrong
light. It is my intention to look aft
er this class much more closely this
vear than ever before. I am, there
fore, constrained to give this note of
warning. Have children go tne nrst
day and every day during the school
year, if it is possible for you to do so.
We had about three hundred chil
dren in the county last year who
made perfect attendance and were
awarded certificates. This does not
include Albemarle, Wiscassett-Efird,
or Badin. I hope we can have five
hundred this year who will make per
fect attendance. Z. V. Moss, At
tendance Officer.
The trial of W. B. Cole for his lifo
has continued with unabating inter
est since it began on the first of last
week, and continues to hold first place
in the minds of North Carolina folks.
Mr. Cole shot down W. W. Ormond
on August 15 last. His prominence
and wealth have called forth a great
array of counsel, and every effort has
been directed towards giving Mr.
Cole benefit of anything that offered
ray of hope for aiding in bringing
about an acquittal, and his presence
in court was surrounded by what
money could buy or bring.
The man he stayed was W. W. Or
mond. A poor boy, with a fair to
good army record, but little else to
commend him to notoriety. He was
the son of a Methodist minister, and
e was "Bill" to his friends. He seem
ed to have been popular with his
friends, and a likeable fellow. Friends
of his father and of himself joined
hands. As an expression of this
friendship, the man who could not be
present to raise a voice in his own
behalf because of the action of the
one who slew him, yet he spoke
mightly through his friends.
The contrast is apparent. It stood
out boldly. And the greatest of
fense of young Bill Ormond was that
he dared to love the daughter of
William B. Cole against the latter's
wishes.
The Press attempts no resume of
the evidence. Content to say that
in the great mass of evidence intro
duced one may find the very thing
he looks for.
Cole pleaded not guilty. He at
tempts to prove it by showing self-
defense and emotional insanity.
The State asks for a verdict of first
degree murder. Does not recognize
emotional or transitory insanity; but
does recognize general insanity. If
Cole was insane at the time, he must
still be insane.
The special veniri of 200 Union
county men appeared before the
court on Wednesday. Out of the
number, 65 were examined and the
12 trial jurors selected from that
number. Since their choice, the case
has continued speedily on, offering
but few surprises and varying only in
degrees of interest as the various
phases developed.
The State made out a clear case
against Cole in that Cole fired the
shots that killed Ormond; that he did
it by stealth stealing up from be
hind and to the side of the car
wherein Ormond sat, and that Or
mond had no means of defense.
Cole and his daughter Elizabeth
both testified in behalf of the defense.
And as the evidence unrolled itself
under cross-fire and direct examina
tion, it is apparent that one can gain
any version of the story he seeks.
Cole would have you believe that
he started after Ormond with his gun
only after Ormond was making for
his own, and that it was necessary to
shoot when he did to save his own
life. It was the testimony of a man
who wanted to save his own neck
and this part of it has convinced
none, only serving to weaken the case
for the defendant.
Cole was pictured as a praying
man. His chief trouble began in
February when he resented a letter
from young Ormond. The letter was
a plea from Ormond to be permitted
to marry the girl he loved, and with
whom he alleged that he had had the
relationship of husband to wife.
Cole believed in the virtue of his
daughter. He resented in mind the
intimation that his daughter was any
thing but the virgin he believed her
to be. And Bill Ormond stirred him
to a finish.
When his daughter denied the
charges made in Ormond's letter,
prayers and plans of Cole figured in
so many ways to show that he was
in good way to go crazy if not al
ready crazy. He prayed for divine
guidance, and weeks after the "scan

DR. DUNLAP IN NEW YORK.
Norfolk, Va. An epidemic of
diphtheria at Hatteras, N. C, is

control. There is no physician at
Hatteras, and naval station a Nor

Dr. Dunlap has been doing this each
