We do not know who these'Nthree will be. We have no way of know ing and it it better that we hove not. The members worked hard and deserve great praise, win or lose doe to the risky and libelous statements made by local knock ers who persisted in declaring that the cars would not be deliv ered if won. Some of these men may regret this later. It has in jured the prospects of all the members to accomplish what they set out to do. The Gazette has been injured into the thousands of dollars. - A run can be started on a bank by such statements a8 was made in this campaign. Men have been prosecuted for a lesser offense, certainly sued. Enough said for the present.

' RADIO INCREASES CATCH OF ENGLISH FISHERMEN London, June 15 —American fishermen off the Grand Banks and jthe Atlantic eoast may find it pro fitable to emulate the .example of their brother fishermen in Eng land, who have equipped their ves sels with radio. The purpose is to enable them to communicate with the shore or with sister trawlers whenever they discover a shoal of fish too large for their capacity. At a time when a remarkable shortage of fish is reported from tbe North Sea, some thirty steam trawlers have been fitted withVwireless ap paratus. , It has been found' that with the use of radio communication huge hauls, which otherwise would cer tainly be missed, can be taken in a short time by vessels which are in constant touch with each other and .-with the shore. The cost of radio installation is insignificant compared to the great •atehes of fish it makes possible. Also, the value pf constant com munication between the trawler ; owner ashore, who M°Wi the con dition of thd market, and the skip per at sea is obvious. If the sup i pHes at one port are heavy, the ; owper can send orders for the catch, to be landed at another port If the catch k unusually heavy, he can make arrangements to facilitate un M Close of Gazette Salesmanship, Race Tonight; Judges Begin Count to* Determine Winners PISHING CREEK BRIDGE* ’ridge below Fishing Creek, has een passed on by the Board of ’fflgaty Commissioners. ’ Certain sople were not satisfied with he location and asked for an in unction, which Judge Shaw ro used to E*»nt> This .paper stands squarely be ind the duly elected authorities t this county, and wishes to say his, it does not approve of the lethods being used to hector he Board ounty Commission rs, nor do we approve of anony 'ous circulars and advertise tehis< GIANT ZEPPLINS MAY SOON OPERATE ACROSS ATLANTIC London, June 16 W)—Details of' the first Atlantic airship service be tween Spain and Argentina have just been made public by the Lon don Daily Chronicle, which says that it may soon be possible to bridge the 5,000 miies between the | wo continents in three and a half ,days.

The Tri-City Gazette’s Saleiraan ship Club will come to a close promptly, on the stroke of nine to night. A few words relative to the manner employed in winding up big event may not be out of place. No doubt today will be one of the big gest days of the campaign. It is not unusual in events of this kind, con sidering the prizes at stake, the val ue of them, etc., that the business turned in during the last day and night of the campaign to be equqal or exceed, the entire amount turned in during the entire time of the race previous to that day. Consequqently the management has arranged every detail in such a manner as will be absolutely faif and impartial to each and every Club Member in the list of workers. There promises to be a fierce fight for the honor of winning the three automobiles—the biggest and best ■ prizes ever offered by a newspaper in Rockingham county. < Now, all this week and until the closing hour, all business has been placed in envelopes and sealed then placed in the ballot box in the bank. No one, either inside or outside of the Gazette office except the Club members themselves can possibly know what these envelopes contain. They will be opened by the judges tonight. FAIR-AND SQUARE The ipethod ef rtoriugtbe -eam. paign is absolutely-fair and square to every one for even the "club man agement itself hag no way of know ing what any Club Member has turned in until the event is ended. OUR BEST THANKS The campaign manager wishes to thank the Club Members, one and all, for their assistance in making this campaign the success* it has prov en to be. Our only regret is that in stead of three, there were not six or seven cars to be distributed among the workers; the earnest workers who have been the means Qf giving the Tri-City Daily Gazette an exceedingly large, paid in advance* circulation.

Jones, Mayor, Town of Leaksville, A. E. Millner, Cashier. COMMUNISTS AWED BY HOAX OF SOME SWISS STUDENTS Geneva, June IS <4>)—The re cent assassination of the Russian di plomat Voroiwsky, at Lausanne, had a rather curious aftermath hfere, not without its humorous aspect. The day after the murder the communists of Geneva organized a meeting of protest at the Apoite Theatre. A group of University sha ll onts had it in mind t0 break up the meeting by force when one of their number conceived the idea of play ing a practical jojke, designed to al leviate the possibility of bloodshed and gain the desired end at the same time. Just as the communists were a bout t0 assemble, the student with the hIi'h telephoned to the theatre and asked for the communist leader. “Chief of police speaking," said the student *n 8 stern voice. “I’ll give you exactly one hour to finish your meeting. There must be n0 pro cession, no communication to the press; otherwise you go to jjail.” An hour later a band of students from a neighboring cafe watched the communists disperse quietly, with no sign of a demonstration. FORD CAR ON WAY FROM CHARLOTTE TODAY The Jones Motor Co. was Oto opointed in car shipments arriving on time and found themselves with out a Ford Car this morning, but Mr. Jones at once called the Char lotte agency and arranged to have a car here tonight about the time the campaign closes.
