CHARLOTTE NEWS, DECEMBER 31. 1902 I I V EY'S $50 for Charity We want you to teIl us where to give it, We have $50 to give to three of Charlotte's deserving charities, viz. Charlotte Day Nur serv, Alexander Res cue Home andThomp son Orphanage. We frankly admit that while we are glad to help these institutions, still our main purpose is to boom our trade during January and February. But these charities will get the money ali the same. This is the plan: We will divide this $50 into three parts; $35 will be given to one. $10 to another and $5 to the other. For every dollar traded with us in January and February you will be entitled to one vote. Write on ticket, we will give you, which insti tution you want to get the $35. The one getting the most votes will get $35 March 1. The one getting the next largest vote will receive $10, while the next will get $5. This will not interfere with the premiums. You will get your premiums just the same. We will get enough ex tra trade and extra advertising, we are sure, to make up the $50. Neither will you pay a penny more for whr.t you buy. On the other hand we propose to conduct during Jan uary and February, a series of special sales, that will be intensely interest ing from a money-saving point of view. We are reducing lines every day to clean up. We are hustling for business. Now Ladies show your interest in these charities by voting for this con test. If you are not particular which gets it, vote anyway, as it will give your approval to our gift to deserving institutions. It costs you nothing, only a scheme of ours to boom trade and keep our force of clerks busy during the usual quiet months of January and February.

Governor Aycock Sends a Mecklen burg Prisoner a New Year's Gift. There was one glad heart at Mc Laughlin's camp today. That one beat in the breast of Jack Hardy, a young white man who, two years ago. was sentenced to ten years on the chain gang by the late Judge A. M. Moore f'ir the larceny of a watch, tho proper ty of a Mr. Mason, of Gaston county. For some time It has been thought by many that there might have been a greivous mistake made in the con viction of Hardy. Those who believed in Hardy's innocence, asked Governor Aycock to pardon the man. This morning when Mr. W. F. Moody arriv ed from Raleigh, he handed to Mr. J. A. Dunn an official paper and said: "Here is a New Year's gift I brought J&ck Hardy. It is from Governor Ay cock, and I know full well tha; he will appreciate it." The big envelope was opened and its contents was a clean, bright pardon, signed and sealed by the Governor. Mr. J. A. Dunn did not wait any time before he procured a horse and set out for McLaughlin's camp to deliver the same to Hardy. The poor fellow'3 feel ings can be imagined when he read the paper that made him again a fre? man. During Hardy's stay at the camp, he has been one of the best of workers, always attentive to his duties and has caused the keepers not the slightest trouble. In other words he has been a model prisoner and all connected with the camp are glad that he lias been pardoned. UNION SERVICES. Churches To Hold Special Services Next Week.

Tomorrow night Sergeant Orr will again ring in the new and ring out the old year, but this time he will have to go to the new graded school build ing as the old bell has been taken from the old court house lot and transferred to the school building.

Ordie Ware, a young man from King's Mountain, came to Charlotte to day to have the mad-stone applied to his right thumb. While Ware was standing in his yard last Friday, a strange dog came along and jumped at him. The dog caught him by the hand and bit a hole in his thumb. The animal acted so strangely that Ware's people think it was mad. The young man went to ur. u jjuii oghue's office and had the famous mad stone applied. The bite on the thumb is an insignificant looking injury but the fear that the dog had hydrophobia has caused the young man and his fam ily much anxiety. Book Found On Battle Field. Mr. L. N.
