Miss Venetia Smith The Milliner South Main St Tuesday Night Sept. 30th Marks the Close if a Very interesting Contest -Yon Can't Win Without Work Don't Be Too SureIt Will Take More Votes Than Many Are Count ing On to Win Out The My Way Is to Go the Limit Important Mat ters to Consider. Just ten more working days and the big Dunlap Pony Contest will be a thing of the past for on Tuesday night, Sept. 30th the- ballot boxes will be closed and the votes will be turned over to the judges who will complete their work as rapidly as possible and the result will be an nounced through the columns of The Review the following Thursday morning if it is possible to get the result by that time. Remember the boxes close at eleven o'clock the night of Sept. 30th and if you find some of the voting places closed remember that you can deposit your votes at any of the places and they will count just the same. It is more than likely that the Matton Drug Co, D. F. Staley, jeweler, The Review, ThackerVShoe Store, and perhaps other places will remain open until eleven o'clock but DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MOMENT to cast your votes and say you didn't get a chance to cast them for some of the voting places will remain open until the closing I hour. ' Another thing don't talk too much, it will do you no good, don't accuse tfr's or that person wrong fully of "seemingly" favoring this or that contestant because we know as far as we are concerned and others that there is absolutely no favoritism shown but an honest de sire for the one worthy of the spurs to wear them or m other words the "best girl or boy to win." All can't win the pony and you know that and because you don't win is no reason why the winner was favored and besides words spoken in an unforgetful moment sometimes bring trouble to say nothing of remorse of conscience. The committee in charge of contest will be only too glad at any and all times to answer any question it can and do anything to ensure an ab solute and impartial decision on all things concerning contest. It is little, it is mean, it is ungentleman ly and unwomanly to stab in the dark. These remarks are intended only for those who the shoe fits and is out of consideration for those in contest who are above reproach and who will ladly. at any time, see that the.right is done. The next week, dating from Wed nesday morning, Sept. 17th until Tuesday night, Sept. 23rd one and one-quarter votes will be allowed on every cent purchase. For instance you buy $10.00 worth of goods, you will be given $12.50 in tickets or 1250 votes. This week will be the last to get extra tickets for the final week, beginning Wednesday morn ing, Sept. 24th and ending Tuesday night Sept. 30th at eleven o'clock, the closing day and hour of contest, only one vote for every cent will be given, except in the case of The Re view which is allowed to give 500 votes for the final period and 625 votes on every dollar for this week's period closing Sept. 23rd. Please get these facts into your head right and work accordingly. REMEMBER THE NEXT WEEK'S PERIOD IS THE ONLY TIME YOU GET EXTRA VOTES, THE FINAL WEEK JUST STRAIGHT ONE FOR ONE VOTE. We are surprised that more of the $5.00 cash tickets have not been sold when this is one of the greatest vote getters yet. These tickets are good for merchandise, printing, ad vertising or trade with any of the firms and are redeemable any time during a year but you get your votes right now, just as soon as the $5.00 for each ticket is handed in. And there are scores of business houses, factories and the like that can use several of the tickets month ly to say nothing of the many that could be used during the year. Bet ter get on your job at once and wake up to a full realization of the vote HotHnrf nnwpr ftf ' these $5.00 cash lllUg And as a word of warning from us, those that expect to win. those who have assurance of a large vote to their credit already, better not be too confident because as first stated it is going to take a big vote to win out please bear this in mind and remember we told you so. Now aWt say we "give away" anything for we have not, we are simplyjput ting you on your guard. It doesn't take a .Philadelphia lawyer to as certain that when several boxes are full to overflowing with tickets that there is something doing, a big vote. As before stated the pony and harness arrived several days' ago and a wire slated that the vehicle would be here last week but another wire stated the shipment was de layed and that it would arrive to day sure. The outfit will be seen on the streets just as soon as we can get the vehicle . out of the ex press office. It is safe to say that at least one thousand children have seen the beautiful pony now domi ciled at the R. B. White stable and have admired it greatly, by patting the little fellow, riding on its downy back, and otherwise showing a child's affection for such a sweet little animal. Remember the pony's name is WOODROW and that it was named after our great Democratic. president. Keep your eye on the pony and rig and hustle the harder because you know you want to own' it at the end of contest.

Unanimously Ordered by Council Determined to Close Up the Hell ; Hole's in City A Wise Step Mayor Rings Clear on Immorality .and Vice His Action Applauded By All Good Citizens Respecta ble Colored Citizens Ask For Re- . lief.r At a called meeting of the City council Monday among other matters considered was the. subject of better law enforcement among the worthless law . breaking class of people, both black and' white who congregate around and irv certain places located in different sections of the city. "A strong delegation of the re spectable element of our colored citizens came with petitions signed by more than 200 of their people, praying for relief from the demor alizing effect of the negro theater on E. Washington St., as well as the disorderly cafes in the same neigh borhood, and after a strong endorse ment by the members ot the City Council in favor of breaking up these places, it was ordered by unanimous vote that the license of the picture show be immediately revoked,, and the' Mayor was authorized to have a more rigid Sunday closing ordinance prepared for enforcement. "Yiayor Tate took occasion to say that it had been his policv dur ing his administration to insist on the police force using extreme kind ness and gentleness in the handling of all persons arrested rather rhan to use force in bringing such culprits to the lock-up. He stated, however, that this method had proven a failure in so far as the handling of a certain class of rough, 'disorderly-! persons who invariably resist by force, arrest and when being brought in, subject the neighborhood to dis graceful spectacles, and that for this class in the future the police force would have positive instruc tions to use their clubs in order to promptly subdue any unruly person. Mayor Tate stated turther that had nil fsrmethotf ' been pu rsue;o; in making the arrest of the negro on Saturday night last, there would not have beenany occasion for Officer Witch- . ' . . 1 i tUsi j pr's ornincJ to ine assistance ui mc -w. - p other officer, which was in a meas ure the cause ot his 'leath. it was I the opinion of the Mayor that officers of the law had just as much right to Drotect themselves from bodily in jury in making arresfs as any other nersons. and if in the performance of his sworn duty it became neces sarv tn use his coin or club, he would be expected to do so. "TIip Msvor took this occasion to sav that the better class of our col ored people, who by the way are the largest maioritv of their race in High Point, deserve much credit for their thriftiness and that they were de serving of every reasonable consid eration afforded by the protection of the law. He also stated that it was a noticeable fact that much of the eriticism heaped upon the adminis tration and'especi&lly cn the police department came from a class of law breakers or their friends, and that in the future this class of persons, who as a rwile are ot little use to the com munity and who load up on cocaine and mean whiskey at every opport unity, might expect in the future less gentle and considerate hand ling than has been accorded them heretofore. James W. Witcher Dies from Woutii Monday Morning Early- Who Dil the Shtatiog, is the Qaestioa? A Deplorable Affair Saturday night near the stroke of ten James W. Witcher, a special of ficer of the city, received a wound from a pistol ball in the ahdomen, which caused his death early Mon day morning following. The ball plowed its way through his stomach, severing two arteries, and puncturing a v kidney, but not withstanding it was seen that there was no hope for him, Witcher made a brave fight for life. He was taken to the hospital im mediately after the shooting where an operation was performed in the hope of saving his life. The young officer was a son of Wm. Witcher and like his father was a fine specimen of manhood and brave as a lion. He leaves a wife and seven children to mourn their loss. The inquest over the. body was held Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs day the remains werq taken to Hickory Chapel for interment. The dead officer was a member of Pied mont Camp No. 62, Woodmen of the World and a delegation from the order accompanied the, remains to their final resting place. Saturday night Special Officer Witcher was on duty at the moving picture show in the eastern part of the city. Between nine and ten o'clock Chief of Police Ben Ridge and Patrolman E. A. McGhee also went down to the show place. A few minutes after their arrival Lorenzo Turner and Lindsay Reed, two negroes, became engaged in an altercation. Turner was arrested by Patrolman McGhee while Witcher had Reed. It was soon learned that Reed had done nothing and he was released. Turner showed fight after taking a few steps and Chief Ridge and Officer Witcher went to the as sistance of McGhee. The negro trip- ! ned McGhee .and . started towards v. j ' j iiTir -"trtrri:r it-,..- Kiage ana wiiuuer. vvime uie suui- fie ensued a pistol was fired and the ball struck Ridge's finger and mor tally wounded Witcher who cried out that he was shot and Ridge re leased his hold of his prisoner to look after his fellow officer. The negro made good use of his liberty and took to the tall timbers followed by McGhee. There were at least two hundred negroes around when the shot was fired and it seems no one could tell, or did not tell, just who did the shooting. It is a de plorable case and it is a great pity no one could vouchsafe the needed information. The Inquest Coroner W. W. Wood, assisted by County Attorney Wilson made a thorough investigatian of the deplor able affair. A jury was empannell ed consisting; of J. L. Sechrest, G A. Matton, H. A. Moffitt, R. E. Blair, W. A.

They de clared it their belief that he is feign ing insanity pursuant to carefully made plans of a master criminal mind. To the Rev.
