Since last week a large num ber of votes have been issued, while a number of new candi dates have been entered by their friends. Many new subscrip tions and renewals are coming in, and subscribers and patrons far and near are becoming in terested in the contest. Some of the girls are starting to work for themselves, and this is a strong indication of success. Some of the girls consider it great fun to be in the contest, and are asking their friends to help them. Nearly everybody takes the Reporter, and every body ought to, and everybody ought to be paid up in advance. Every dollar paid on subscrip tion, advertising or job work counts for 100 votes. The votes are given away by the publish ers of the Reporter, and every person should vote for the favor ite young lady. Cut out the coupons and send them in for your favorite young lady. The publishers of the Reporter are learning of many young peo ple who are expecting to accom pany the elected party on the trip to the ocean, for a seven days outing next spring or sum mer. We say the ocean, but the place is to be decided by the majority of the girls elected. However, it may almost be as sured that Wrightsville or More head City will be chosen, as these are counted among the most delightful places in the United States, ranking very high with the leading sea coast resorts of the whole country. All of the contestants running at present that we have heard from, prefer the seacoast to the mountains. It is sure to be a most jolly and happy party, and and a really charming and de lightful occasion. It is highly !)robable that the party will be arge enough to fill a car, and that a special car will be charter ed with no changes from Wal nut Cove to the ocean. The Re porter management desires to make this the pleasantest affair of all the girls' lives, and one that they will remember ever afterwards with intensest pleas ure. Among the delights of the seacoast are suif bathing, sail* ing, trips out on the ocean, danc ing, fishing parties, rowing, and allkinds of games and sports, and visits to neighboring places of interest, etc., etc. The most delicious fare of oysters, fish, and all kinds of sea-food will be a feature to be contemplated with great relish. There are many young people, friends of the contestants, young men and young women, as well as older ones, married and unmarried, who have never seen old ocean in all of its splen did majesty, who have never ridden on a sailing vessel, nor bathed in the delightful surf, which yearly affords pleasure and health to millions of pee#le in the United States. This will be the rare opportunity of sseing and participating in those pleas ures while in company with friends and acquaintances. If those who wish to go on this trip, with the Reporter's party of elected lady teachers, will notify the publishers in time efforts will be made to get a reasonable rate for the crowd at the hotels and also the lowest cost of transportation. It is now time for the contest ants to begin to put in some work for themselves, which they will find will yield wonder ful results. There are thou sands upon thousands of votes to be due to patrons of this paper within the next nine weeks, and your share of these may be had for the asking. Request your friends to save all their coupons for you, send word and write to your friends everywhere, at home and abroad, to subscribe for the Reporter and cast their votes in your behalf. If already subscribers, ask them to pay in (advance a year or two, or as i long ahead as they wish, for you. Remember, advertising and job work counts big and fast. The management gives out votes for advertising and job work, same as subscription. Ask your friend merchants to stick to you. Remember, somebody is going —eight ladies are sure to make this delightful trip and outing of seven days and all expenses paid. We hope you may be one of the winners' AT MEADOWS.

SOME CANDIDATES REPUBLICAN POT SIMMERS Election a Year Off, But in Stokes the People are Beginning to Think ; and Talk of the Candidates to Be Nominated For the Offices Next j Summer —Prospectives. This time next fall, only a little over eleven months, ail, the county and legislative of ficers are to be re-elected, wit h ' one exception, namely Clerk of! the Court M. T. Chilton, whose! present term does not expire until two years after next De cember. Those whose present terms of office will expire next fall are Sheriff C. M. Jones, Register of Deeds Dr. W. C. Slate, Treasurer Geo. W. Neal, and County Comissioners John W. Gann, Chap Bodenheimer and T. M. Lawson. Representa tive J. M. Fagg is to have a successor in the legislature also, while all the minor county of ficers, such as Surveyor, Coroner, etc. r are to be re elected. There is an unwritten or written law in! the statute books of the Repub lican party in Stokes, or in- i scribed elsewise on the tables of their hearts, that no officer shall hold more than two terms of: the same office in succession. This law may or may not be binding in the organization, but it is pretty strictly observed in these latter days. On this j principle, therefore, Charles M.: Jones, Wesley C. Slate, James' M. Fagg and probably some of! the other officers must step down and out and allow some of | the balance of the faithful to! come in. Sheriff Jones has held two' terms of the Register's office! and as many of the Sheriff's, ! and this time he retires. He owns a farm near Walnut Cove, and tells the Reporter that when his present tenure is out, he will betake himself to the quiet seclusion of his plantation i where, away from the turmoil of politics, he will revel in corn | and grass, potatoes, watermelons i and tobacco. Sheriff Jones as- j sured the Reporter that while he was deeply appreciative of the kindness of his friends who have stuck so close to him, that nevertheless he had enough. He said he had made no money, but was thankful, just the same. Into Sheriff Jones' shoes several leading Republicans of i the county are aspiring to step. The list of candidates for Sheriff is always large, but not within recent years perhaps have so many of the leaders of the party been mentioned for the \ place. First comes County Com-1 missioners Chap Bodenheimer, 1 who is an avowed candidate. Mr. Bodenheimer, as commiss ioner, has become acquainted ! with a large number of Repub- J licans in all sections of the j county. He will run very strong ! in the convention. Next is Dr. |W. C. Slate, who, while he will ! not admit that he is a candidate, j takes tho position that he is at i the mercy of his friends, and i ! should those who supported him ! for the present office desire him to I make the race for Sheriff in the I interest of the party, he could not decline. Dr. Slate says that a number of his friends are urging him to run. There fore, it is generally taken that Doc is a candidate. Next, Mr. D. V. Carroll, of Mizpah, is talked of prominently for Sheriff, and no person will deny that all others will have to stand up and take notice if Dee enters the lists. These are the three most prominent candidates the Reporter hears talked of, and they are among the Republican party's strongest leaders and cleanest men. A scrap between ' them would mean the rallying ■of a large following for each, ! and odds pretty nearly even on the result For Register of Deeds there are also a number of candidates mentioned, among them being R. Frank Bondurant, of Fran • cisco; J. R. Voss, of Walnut Cove; J. Walter Tuttle, of King Route If T. S. Petree, of Dan bury ; James M. Fagg, of Red Shoals. All are young men, and either one of them can rally a good crowd of friends. For the office of member of the House of Represent*" R. L. Nunn, of West r 'V is mentioned very pre Mr. Nunn is Presi" of the Stokes County Far- Union, and thereby enjoys large ac quaintance in the county, and would be hard to defeat for the nomination, if he wants it. For the Senate they are talking Mr. R. J. Petree of Germanton. Mr. Petree has had a lot of experien ce in the legislature, and this is strongly urged in his favor by his friends. For county commissioner to succeed Mr. Bodenheimer, should he be nominated for Sheriff, there are a number of prominent Republicans discuss ed, among them being Mr. R. F. Fulk, of Pinnacle, and Mr. James W. Owens, of Quaker Gap township. It is generally agreed that Treasurer Geo. W. Neal will have no opposition for re-nom ination. From now on politics in the Republican camp will wax warm er. It is only about seven or eight months until the conven tions will name the nominees. HONOR ROLL. Subscriptions Received From All Over the Wide Country, Near and Far. The Reporter returns thanks to a number of patrons for re mittances on subscription during the last few days, as follows: C. O. Hall, J. w. Denny, Mrs. Mary A. Eaton, J. W. Thore, J. L. Merritt, C. N. Kallam, Joe Powell, Alex Flippin, M. B. Griffin, I. D. Knight, Miss Lvdia Martin, D. E. Nelson, Mrs. P. D. Webster, Mrs. Malissa Manring, John Bostick, W. T. McDaniel, Wm. H. White, S. F. Thore, J. E. Thore, R. S. Coleman, Carrie Hairston, C. R. Simmons, J. N. Highfill, E. J. Styers, Benjamin Knight, J.

Mabe, Willie Col lins, Miss Nannie A. Peterson, J. R. Joyce, H. O. Sams, W. R. Hicks, W. H. Hartman, C. H. Maybery, W. C. Paris, C. L. Slawter, J. W. Simmons, J. J. Shaffer. We are revising our list, and dropping those who are behind considerably, as the United States postal laws do not now permit a newspaper to be mailed under the regular rate to sub scribers who are in arrears several years, but the same must be stamped for mailing which makes it for too expensive. Therefore the only thing to be done in order to comply with the law, is to make a clean list, and this we are now at work trying to do. The Reporter has the best list of subscribers of most any paper anywhere. It is composed of high-toned, honorable and straight men and women, who appreciate the value of their county paper, and take a pleas ure in paying for it. Of course, we are troubled now and then with a few crooked folks, who will subscribe for the paper and then after taking it a year or two, order it stopped without paying up, and when requested to pay, they get mad and claim that they did not subscribe for longer than 3 months, or 6 months or a year, and refuse to pay. A man who will take and read a newspaper and then re fuse to pay for it on the ground that he did not want it longer than a specified time, is no better than the fellow who obtains good merchandise in any other dishonest way. But, as said above, the Repor ter has but little experience with this class of people. We drop them, and send their names to the Publishers .
