G, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1914. v. - ,;fR A YEAR, NOMINATIONS COMING IN AT RATTLING RATE SUBSCRIPTION" CONTEST WILL BE BIG EVENT OF THE FALL. Handsome Priies of The Journal At trading Wide and Favorable Al tent ion More Than One Hundred Nominations In Before Contest Opens. Business ProKMition of The Journal Is Sound and M ill Be A Great Success Liberal Terms to Contestants and High Value of the Paper Together Make Work Easy and Successful. The world is not coming to an end The country is not going to be ruin ed. And people are not going to Mop work because a war is goins on three thousand miles away among people who have not learned enough to cease warfare. The unanimous response to The Journal's great subscription contest told about in the last issue of the paper shows that hundreds of people are ready and anxious to forget wars and rumors of wars and to go right on with whatever business that is at hand. We are alll in more or less of a pinch now, but things are begin ning to right themselves and after a while the war clouds will have van ished in thin air and Americans will be going right on in the even tenor of their way. Over one hundred nominations of contestants in the race have already been received and before next Wed nesday when the first names will be announced, there will be many more nothing but a sound business prono sition could secure such quick and enthusiastic response. It is in line with the belief that folks should keep busy and cease to take counsel of their fears. We have bountiful crops and no body is going to starve. No matter what European countries do Ameri cans will go right on in their umal avocations of peace, and we shall have no wars or foars of war. Things are bound to straighten themselves out soon. In the meantime tlu hap piest man Is he who runs right along and does the best he can, reads his paper, keeps up with the times, and helps by his actions to cheer up the drooping spirits of his neighbors Get busy! That is what our con testants will do. and that is what will win for them the finest set of prizes ever offered in this section. Here's How They (Jo. The first general prize Is as hand some and solid a gift as you could find in a week's travel. If you were to go to buy it you would have to take one hundred and twenty great big round dollars with you in order to carry it home. There Is nothing better in Union county. A bedroom set fit to adorn the chamber of a princess, such as this is, is not often secured by any one, much less for a little work in securing subscriptions for a great twice-a-week paper like The Journal. But that is the way some one will secure the set. Look in at Dillon's furniture store and examine it. If it is not as good as we say it Is, we'll call off the con test. And while there also look at the second prize. It is almost as great a wonder, and so good that in fact we hardly knew which to make first and which to make second. This Is the set of parlor furniture, mahoga ny, with solid leather upholstering, five pieces a settee, two rockers and two rhalrs. And the third prize is all that one could desire. It is, aa was pointed out in the last issue, one of the new est of the famous New Home sewing inachir.es, with all the latest improve ments. Nothing better carries a nee dle. See It at F. B. Aslicraft's. Then comes the twelve sparkling bracelets, solid gold, and of your own selection, all guaranteed, and all of them right up to date in style and beauty. These will be on exhibition at Hudge's. The three general prizes will go to those receiving the first, second, and third largest number of votes re gardless of district or place of resl dence. Then there will be twelve districts as follows: Monroe City, Monroe township outside of city, Marshviiie township, Lanes Creek township, Buford township, Jackson township, Sandy Ridge township, Goose Creek township, Vance town ship, New Salem township, Chester field county and Lancaster county. Thus, a contestant from any dis trict may enter for all ct the three general prizes and for the prize for the district in which she lives. Each one then has four chances at prizes. Should you miss the first prize, you may get the second. Should you miss the second you may get the third. Should you miss the third you still have a chance to lead in your dis trict. Ix't the Nominations Come On. If you haven't sent in a nomina tion yet, do so at once. Use the blank for nominating printed else where. While nominations may be sent In any time during the contest, it is far better to have them in at the beginning. Send in the names of some of your friends or acquaintan ces. It will not cost you anything and wil put them in the way of tak ing part In a fine contest In which they will win something worth while. Remember, there are fifteen hand some prizes, every one of which will go to some one. And those who re ally work in the contest and do not get one of these will be paid for the work over a certain small amount necessary to show good faith. Let the contestants get in the race I .?: them win the prizes. Help The Journal extend Its subscription list among your neighbors.

Point Out How They Will Help the People I Yrxonal IVoperty Under $30O Should Not be Taxed. Mr. J. W. Bailey of Raleigh, who was appointed chairman of the cam paign committee for carrying on a campaign for enlightenment on the subject, says that he is very much gratified by the outburst of interest in the constitutional amendments fol lowing the meeting there last week. He has received already offers of campaign services from a large num ber of prominent leaders, and he is prepared to make speaking appoint ments upon request. Mr. Bailey believes all the amendments will carry, as they al ready have the endorsement of repre sentative leaders of all the parties, and not only political leaders, but representative men in the more pri vate walks of life. "All that is nec essary," said Mr. Bailey, "is that the people shall be informed of the truth about these amendments. They will do the rest. We intend to wage a campaign of Information. There will be no controversy; there will be no abuse. Every man is entitled to his opinion and all that I ask is that he shall inform himself." Speaking of the taxation amend ment , Mr. Bailey pointed out a sig nificant statement from Dr. Charles L. Raper of the chair of political economy in the University of North Carolina. In this article Dr. Raper says: "The present taxation system has placed a very heavy burden upon the tangible forms of property and a very light burden upon the Intangible forms. Live stock and machinery, for instance, are assessed with fair accuracy. Moneys, credits and secur ities escape the most effective assess ment, and when moneys, credits, etc., bear the tax, it is more often paid by the helpless than by the rich. Widows and orphans seldom escape the effective burden, while many a rich man pays little. Ileal property that Is, land, and the more tangi ble forms of personal property car ry the burden of taxation at pres ent." TO CORRECT ABUSES. Mr. Bailey said he regarded this as mi actual statement of the Ine qualities of our present taxation sys tem. "Now," said he, "the proposed taxation amendment will give the legislature power to reach these in tangible forms of property,, and if tne taxation amendment shall be in telligently opposed, I believe it wil! be opposed by those who wish in tangible property to continue to es cape its share of the common burden or taxation. I cannot see how anv owner of real estate, or any other man wno is now bearing the burden of taxation, can refuse to vote for the proposed change. "Dr. Raper, by the way, is open to engagements for the campaign. He could be heard. with profit anywhere in ;orin Carolina." MAINTAIN TAX RATE. Mr. Bailey said he wished to make it very emphatic that the proposed amendment maintains the present mini on uie tax rate. It not onlv does this, but It fixes a definite limit on the tax rate. In the present con stitution there is no definite limit Mr. Bailey also pointed out that the proposed amendment will permit of a personal property exemntlon as high as $300. The present exemption is oniy "Whan the present constitution was made the State was poor and it had to fix the exemption very low. We are getting alone better now. nnd the man with only $300 Is entitled to more consideration." "I am hopeful," the new chairman continued, "that all the amendments will receive hearty support. We want a bit? vote. It will do the people kuoii 10 siuny tnis subject. It is one of the best opportunities In our re. cent history to do a public service, and all public spirited citizens of all parties are urged to co-operate with us in the matftr. We will want some good men at each nrecinct In the State to explain to the voters the meaning of the amendments, and al so to mark the ballots." LYNCHING THREATENED IN STANLY COUNTY. lltEECK M.

Negro Charged With Assault Was Carried to Wadoboro For Safe Keeping. Wadesboro Ansonian, Wednesday. A negro man, Howard Craig, was brought here early this morning by Sheriff T. R. Forest and County Treasurer R. N. Furr of Stanly coun ty and placed in jail for safe keep ing. The negro Is charged with com mitting an assault on Miss Odessa Coggin, the 14-year-old daughter of Mr. W. Harris Coggin, who lives one mile from New London. The crime was committed yesterday morning about llo'clock and the girl was at tacked in a cotton field where she was picking cotton. She gave the alarm at once and in a few hours a crowd had gathered. A negro an swering the discription given by the girl was found walking the railway tracks near Old Whitney, two miles from the scene of the crime. He was arrested at once and gave hi3 name as Howard Craig. When brought be fore the girl she appeared to recog nize him as her assailant, and im mediately some one demanded that the negro be lynched. This fright ened the women near by and then, it is said, the girl said the might have been mistaken. The negro was hur ried to Albemarle and then it was learned that a mob was forming to lynch him last night. Sheriff Forest slipped Craig out of the jail in the early part of the night and mem bers of the mob were allowed to go In the jail and see that he was not there. The Sheriff kept his prisoner In the woods last night and accom panied by Mr. Furr, arrived here at about 8:30 this morning. There is little doubt but that the mob would have put a quick end to the negro if it had not been for the quick work of Squire James Mauney of New London and Sheriff Forest. Members of the mob stated that they were willing for the negro to have a trial but it must be quirk. The Sheriff was told of what was taking place and sent a deputy to the scene. The citizens refused to turn the ne gro over to the deputy and the sher iff went to the scene and brought the negro to Albemarle, later bring ing him here for safe keeping, as stated above. There is some criticism of Mr. Mauney for aiding the Sherlrf to pro tect the negro charged with the crime. The negro has a wile living near Whitney. He Is a medium-sized man, looks to be about 35 years of age. Miss Coggins, it is said, stated that her assailant wore a hat in which there were a number of holes and Craig was wearing such a hat when seen this morning by a representa tive of this paper. He denied the crime when arrested and has made no statement since coming here. The unfortunate girl belongs to an excellent family. A large number, probably one hun dred, went to Albemarle last night in automobiles and buggies and a num ber of pistol shots were fired on the streets. The mob was unable to get to the prisoner, as Sheriff Forrest had him searched and lef in a short time for Anson county. Organizing In ltehnlr of Constitution, al Amendments. A State organization has been formed to carry on a campaign of in formation In behalf of the proposed Consitutional Amendments to be vot ed on by the people of North Carolina next month. These amendments were proposed by a commission composed of representatives of both politic?.! parties and submitted to the people by the Legislature of the State rep resenting all political parties. Con sequently, both political parties are represented on the committees of pa triotic citizens who have interested themselves actively In the adoption of the amendments.

Body Was Found Yesterday in Partly DeconiMNPd State Indications all Point to Murder Some Days Ago. The body of Mr. Reece M. Hay wood of Stouts was found at noon yesterday, partly decomposed, lying in a clump of thick pines near the Providence road in Myers Fark. near Charlotte. The body was discovered by Mr. W. Brown Little who lives within a few hundred yards of where the vic tim of foul play was found. Mr. Lit tle was following a blind road through the woods, taking some feed to mules working In a close-by field. He saw the body lying ahead of him in the road and after making sure that the man was dead, he retraced his steps and telephoned Coroner Ho vls that there was a dead negro out there in the woods. Coroner Hovis went to the scene as soon as possible and ordered the hearse of a colored undertaking es tablishment. As soon as he turned the body over, it was evident that it was a white person. The Coroner searched the pockets of the man and found papers indicating beyond a doubt that it was the body of Mr. Haywood. The coroner communicated with the Clerk of the Court here and Mr. Lemmond notified relatives of the deceased In the county. Mr. liudolph Haywood, who works at the Hender son Garage, is a son of the dead man, and he went to Charlotte yesterday afternoon and soon verified the fact that there had been no mistake in the Identification. Relatives of Mr. Haywood living in Charlotte pay that he went to Charlote Saturday with considerable money, probably for the purpose of paying some to his sister from the estate of their father, the late J. Frank Haywood. He and his brother, Mr. Doss Haywood, were ex ecutors, and were due to pay certain sums In cash to other heirs. Mr. Haywood lived at Stout on a farm left by his father. He was ra ther erratic in his goings and com ings, and the fact that he had been away several days had not caused his family to make any alarm. Th" body was brounht here and fu neral was held at Shiloh today by Rev. E. C. Snider. CERTAINLY MURDERED. More particulars of the affair are thus reported by the Charlotte Ob server this morning: That he was victimized by foul play Is not to be questioned. His bodv was found lying about 200 yards off the Providence road In thick pine", the wooded land of the Steph ens Company. It was directly across a blind road that traverses the woods and almost Immediately to the rear of Mr. Lum Harkey's residence. The face was partly embedded In the mud. Blood stains were perfectly apparent about the premises, two big pools be ing dlsernable near the spot where the body was found. The surround ings Indicated that Mr. Haywood, af ter receiving a fatal blow, started to walk and dropped to his death in a puddle of water and mud in the road. His clothes were muddy. The body was so decomposed that It was diffi cult to tell from the appearance of his skin whether he was a white man or black. The papers in his coat pocket were colored with blood and stalnd with mud. In his pocket was a wallet containing a few cents in change. Tie wore a nice suit of blue serge and n dark-colored shirt. HAD TWO BAD BLOWS. The only theory advnnceable Is that Mr. Haywood, under the lnflu erre of whiskey, was deooyed into the. woods end murdered. He was a man, his relatives here ray, who drank seme whiskey at times and who "alwpyr brnped about how much money he had when he was drink ing," as one of them said. Mr. Hay wood had two bad licks on his head. The condition in which his body was when found prevented a cloe exami nation of the wounds. It was evi dent that his kull had been fractur ed. There was, however, no sign of a heavy instrument anywhere around the premises. Both licks which he appeared to have suffered were diree ly on top of the head. As to the time he was killed there Is considerable question. Relatives here who saw him Saturday believe the murder was committed and Mr. Haywood robbed Saturday night. Coroner Hovis thinks otherwise. The latter bases his conclusion entirely upon the fact that he could discern blood stains near the spot where the body was found and he does not con cede that these would be visible af ter the washing rains of Saturday night and Sunday. He thinks the deed was committed circus day, last Monday, and perhaps that night. FERHAPS KILLED MONDAY. Mr. Key, his nephew by marriage, said yesterday that on Saturday morning Mr. Haywood came to his shop and had $150 which he was showing, stating that he expected to put It in the bank. He promised Mr. Key that he would spend Saturday night with him, but never came in n.id was not seen by any Charlotte friends since Saturday morning. This fact is taken to Indicate to some that he was killed Saturday night, but the vast burden of evidence Is to the con- tray, considering the character of the rains that fell that and the following day. Nothing can be positively told as to when the foul deed was done from the condition of his bodv, the county physician giving It as his opinion that it was three or four days ago. 1 POOR LIIILt Belgium. SLAUGHTER OF INNO CENTS GOES ON. GERMANS WILL PROBABLY SOON OVERWHELM THEM. AH Eyes Now Turned Before the IV. fense of Antwerp Where All the Belgium Forces are Making a Ijt Stand Before the Invaders Will Effect the Battle in France. While the immense armies of the belligerant powers of Europe are en gaged in a death grapple along lines hundreds of miles in extent ia bat tles which, for the numbers engaged, fierceness, and stubbornness, have no precedent in history, the little army of Belgium is making a last stand be hind the forts of Antwerp, one of the strongest fortified positions in the world. For the moment at least the strug gle around the chief port cf Belgium attracts the most attention for the re sult of the engagement there must have a considerable effect on the bigger battles bet we. n the Anglo French and German forces, which extend from the Swis3 frontier across France, almost to the North Sea. The Germans, while attempting to cross the Schldt, south of Antwerp, made their main attack from the east and broke some days ago, with the aid of their 16-inch guns, through the first line of forts. Between the first and second belt of forts, according td their own accounts, they defeated the Belgian army and captured a number of guns. Last night shells began to fall in the city Itself and from reports com ing through Holland the railway stations, the palace of justice and several oil tanks have been dam aged. At the same time six Zcpnelin dirigibles flew ever the c!iy, drop ping bombs, but it has been Impossi ble as yet to ascertain the d::mage they have done. Kins Albert has called on nil men of military iv:e o nscist in th" de fence of the city. Thousands of others. womn, children .vni old men, have left Antwerp hurriedly. Amonir the non belligerent remainint are the American consul pen'eal, Henry W. Diedriche, and his star'f. REFUGEES CROWD HOLLAND. The towns of Holland already are crowded with refugees. The mayor of Rotterdam has sent out a warning that there is no more room there for the harassed Belgians, end steamers for England are crowded with refu gees. More than 30,000 refugees arrived at Folkestone today and were taken In charge by committees. Many are penniless. GERMAN GUNS CUT TATII- , Five German army corps are tak ing part in the siege of Antwerp, which Is defended by the Belgian army. The outer forts, like those of other fortresses which have fallen since the war began, have not been able to withstand the fire of the big German guns, but the Belgians rtill are hopeful that, with inner forts, a flooded area and mobile field army, they may hold the city until assist ance may come by the defeat of tli? Germans In France. Such a defeat, all realize, is an enormous task, but the official com munication Issued in IMrls li te today gives the allies hopes that the lon:; waited decision is about to be reach ed. Not for many days has such a:t encouraging report from the ailie.' point of view boon published by t! i irench general stuff. ALLIES MORE HOPEFUL. The strong German reinfercemen's which appeared on the Belgian fronf ler in the region of Lille, hecordin;; to this report, "have made no prog ress at any point," while "at certain points the enemy has moved back, particularly to the north of Arras, where fighting la developing under conditions favorable to us." As an offset to this favorable French statement, the German ac count, issued last night, bays the French attacks in the Argonne and to the northeast of Verdun were re pulsed while no decision ha3 been reached in the fighting on the Ger man right wing. GERMAN STATEMENT HOLDS. This latter statement remains true today, for, although the French claim to have met with success, there is nothing to indicate any definite re sult has been attained and there probably will be much more fighting and a further extension of the wings possibly In the direction of Antwerp, before either side is compelled to give way. The other big battle line between the combined Austro-German armies and the legions of Russia extends from the Galiclnn frontier near Tar now, north of the east Prussian bor der. Another Russian force Is be sieging Pryzemsyl in Galiria, and still another is Invading Hungary. STANDSTILL IN PRUSSIA. On the east Prussian frontier tho fighting appears to have come to a standstill. The Russians, having driven 4he Germans back after their advance to the Niemen river, found on getting to the German border that reinforcements had been brought from Koenigsburg, and their further progress was arrested.
