MONROE, N. C, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1914. ONE DOLLAR 'EAR. WHO WINS THIS WfEK KPWUL TIUZK PERIOD NOW OX Contestants Who Work Hani for Two Week Will Hun lp Th-lr Vote in Final Contest and Some of Them Will Win tiold King .el Week and Beautiful Ciold Necklace this Week. The contest is sailing smoothly on. Some of the contestants are waiting, waiting. First for something to hap pen and then to see if someone will do the work necessary to win for them. Neither will win a prize. Some are hesitating because they think they cannot win, but the same gener al rule that governs destinies of the human race will apply to contestants, for our destiny is largely in our own hands. A great number of contest ants have grasped the opportunity of winning some beautiful prizes and are beginning to make things hum Several new contestants have started up this week and by Tuesday there will be many more. Right now is the best time in the whole contest in which to enter but this will be the case for only a short time. A new- contestants can catch up and success fully cope with the ones who have been working by beginning right now THIS IS SPECIAL PRIZE WEEK Don't lose sight of the fact that there is a beautiful Locket and Chain to be given to the contestant who pets the greatest number of subscrip tions between now and Monday night. Somebody is going to win it. Will it be you? Your friends are expecting us much of you. Tliey are willing to stand behind you if you show that you desire it. if you r.Ul In winning the prize Monday night, remember that what you have done counts on (lie two weeks' period at the end of which the one who has gotten the highest vote in that time In each district will re ceive a beautiful Cold King, and even if you miss that you have added sev eral thousand votes to your standing in the race for the Grand Prizes to be given at the end of the contest. Nothing Is worth while that costs nothing. To win means to work and work Is a part of our every day life Now Is the time when you can get the mcst handsome returns for what you do and the successful contestant always tries to win the Special Prizes as well as the Grand Prizes, "Peg o' My Heart." When a real human interest, a play that appeals to the masses as well as the classes, Is scheduled for presentation in Monroe, it is a pleas ure to announce its coming and en courage our theatregoers to patron ize it. In this instance the commen dation goes for the engagement of Ol iver Morosco's play of charm, "Peg o' My Heart," which comes to the op era house on Wednesday next, Nov. 11th. Probably no play produced on the American staRe in the past decade has created so much favorable discus eion from people in all walks of life as Manners' Interesting comedy. This has been emphasized most conclusively by the large at tendance accorded this attraction ev erywhere, and by t he glowing trib utes in the pres reviews. The action of the l iny which takes place In Eng land, tells of a Utile carelessly raised Irish girl, who, when she is trans planted into an aristocratic home of unknown relatives, meets with a chil ly reception. She is unwelcome and tolerated simply for the income they derive through her, a legacy left her by the will of a wealthy uncle, she fi nally overcomes their dislike, and wins for herself a titled husband No theatrical offering in the past twenty years has left such a lasting Impression upon our playgoing pub lic, as has Oliver Morosco s fortune making success. This delicate little comedy with Its mixture of fun and pathos, presents life In Its true light, with a deeper motive than can be at tributed to any of the other plays Mr. Manners has given to the stage. Ev ery stage generation or so, there comes into the life of our theatre a play so real, so human, so true to all characteristic drawings and narra tives, that its brilliancy dazzles us by its drawing power. Never in the history of Monroe has such a dis tinguished company appeared here, and a capacity house should welcome this event. Ui: KKEADY FOR THE FA I It. Candidate' Hard Luck. Fayetteville Dispatch, 3rd. A. L. McCasklll, candidate for the house of representatives In the elec tion held today, lost his home on the Wilmington road near the city with all Its contents this morning. Mr. McCasklll was doubly unfortunate as Indications are tonight that he was defeated In the election. First Stenog How de you like your new boss? Second Stenog Great! He don't know no more about grammar, spell '1n', and punctuation than I do; he's Jest out 'er college! Committer U Working to Make This Fall' Effort the Best Vet Irrare to be Present With an Exhibition. The indications are that this sea- 's fair Is going to be the best ever. Vat re has just been harvested the finest crop of corn ever grown !n the county, and many farmers have for years been selecting their seed in the Geld and selling seed corn to other farmers, and consequently there is lots of pure bred corn in the county. The corn exhibit promises to be ex ceptionally fine. There will be two exhibits of corn, one by the adult farmer, and one by the boys. Every farmer, and every boy under eighteen years of age, is expected to be at the fair with ten of the best ears of corn he can select. And then there are the pumpkins and potatoes, the wheat and the oats, the cabbage and turnips, the peas and the cane seed, the butter and the mo lasses, and a whole lot of other things all of which will be interesting fea tures. The general farm exhibit by indi vidual farmers will be a prominent feature of the fair, and some good ex hibits are expected. There is always an inspiration and a desire to do bet ter farming in loo kin;; at a good ex hibit of this kind. The woman's department Is going to be better than ever. This has been a good year for filling the pantries. and some fine exhibits are expected. The exhibition of needle work cakes, bread, and fruit, will be prom inent features of this department. The poultry exhibit has always been one of the most interesting features of the fair. All indications point to the best poultry exhibit ever seen in the county. The live stock, horses and mules. colts and fillies, cattle and hops, the sheep and goats, will be abundantly in evidence. This will doubtless be the best exhibit ton of livestock ever shown in the county. It is to be regretted that the coun ty has no suitable quarters as yet for holding its fair. However, the mana gers have done the best they eouli in securing the hall over Mr. F. 11 Athcraft's store for the exhibition of farm products, pantry supplies am poultry. The live stock will be quar tered in Mr. It. C. Griffin's stables. The hall w ill ho open all day Thurs- dnyday, the day before 'he fair opens, and some one will be there to assist in installing the exhibits. All farm products and pantry supplies should be sent in this day if possible so that they can be properly arranged before the fair opens Friday morning. Poul try can be brought in on this day if desired. Exhibitors to furnish feed and watering cups, and attend to the feeding and watering. All exhibits in this hall to be in place by ten o clock rrlday morning. Exhibitors of cattle, hogs, sheep. and goats must have them In quar ters at R. C. Griffin's stables by 11 o'clock, Friday morning, and not to be removed until after two o'clock Saturday afternoon. All will be re quired to feed and water their own stock. A night watchman will he employed without expense to exhibit ors to guard stock at night. Exhibitors of horses and mules need not bring them until Saturday, he last day of the fair. They will as semble at It. C.Griflln's Mable at ten o'clock, and the Judging will take piace immediately. The managers are offering as lib eral premiums as circumstances will permit. About four hundred dollars n premiums ere oiTered. The Stale epartment of Agriculture gives two hundred, on condition that a like sum s given by the fair management. About one hundred dollars was car ried over from last year. So there Is bout one hundred to he raised by the managers, besides incidental ex penses, hall rent, expenses of Judges, etc. To provide this amount, a fee of ten cents Is charged, and a ticket given that holds good for the two days, and allows the holder to pass In and out at will at the hall and the live stock department. No one con nected with the management receives a cent of remuneration for service, or derives any pecuniary profit whatev er. But every cent that is left after paying premiums and expenses, should there be a remainder, will form the nucleus for a premium sum for next year. Let's all pull together and make the fair a great success. Put something on exhibition. Patronize the fair. Mingle with the crowd that will be there. Get Ideas. Cet inspiration Drop the cares of life for a couple of days, meet old friends, renew old ac quaintances, and make new ones. For further information call on T. P. Dillon, Dr. Watt Ashcraft, T. J. W. Broom, or R. C. Griffin. Remember the date, Friday and Saturday, Nov. 20th and 21st. m:gi;o steals cow. But Is Captured Trying to DKms. of It. Othtr Waxhaw and k inity Sews. Waxhaw Enterprise.

The Seward com pany, as well as all other manufact urers of Petersburg, has endeavored all along to keep its factories run ning despite the stringency of the money market, and the present de mand for military equipment may possibly be an unexpected source through which the factories may be kept going.

Mr. Jenkins said there are many sunflowers about his place, ana tins connmed the opinion that flat, side of the egg resembles sunflower.

"All the trains are on time. Some one's hampered with the bulletin board!" declared the clerk, and he rushed to the platform. He stared for a moment at the board. then at the old negro. Slowly his face relaxed into a broad erln. The bulletin read: "All trains on time Sept. 1." Republic an Mitde Gains Hut IVmo. rrats Will Still Control the (inv ent ment.

Marked Republican liis all over the country were appar ent, Whitman and W'adsworth sweep ing the Empire state by 115,000 plu rality. 1 lie Progressive vote was al most tq the vanishing point, the mos notable Progressive victory being the re-election of Hiram Johnson as Gov ernor of California.

In the tenth district Congressman oudger s campaign manager admit; the election of James J. Britt, his Re publican opponent. Confirmation of the loss of the Tenth Congressional District to James J.

Reports to Democratl c headquar ters show that a number of counties heretofore Republican have given Democratic majorities, these includ ng Washington, Ashe, Burke, Mc dowell. Democrats lost Harnett county by a small majority through local nght. Other telegrams to Democratic headquarters show that are county elected a Democratic herilf and county commissioners and Jackson county gave 150 Democratic majority. With the exception of that given by Sampson county no overwhelmingly large maporlties have been returned against the amendments, and border counties of the Piedmont, such as Forsyth and Durham, are thought to have given small majorities for them In some of the close counties, how- ever, Democrats and Republicans seem to have Joined to defeat them The chief feature of the election was the sweeping Republican gains. These were such as to give the ut most encouragement to the Republi cans who are now convinced that not only ran they come back but actually have done so. Other features were the dwindling Progressive vote and the tendency to a large socialist vote, which may re sult in the election of three socialists to the house, one of them being Vic tor Berger of Milwaukee.

Young Prince Killed in Ljttle First Member of British Royalty to Fall in Modern War. Boston Transcript. Prince Maurice of Battenburg, cou sin of King Ceorge and grand-son of Queen Victoria, has died of wounds received in action. He has by his death earned the sad distinction of being the first member of Britirh roy alty to fall in battle in times we call modern. Though the son of a Ger man prince, he was a British officer and in his first and last campaign had won the commendation of Sir John French. Very young, only a lieuten ant, he probably sought to prove that prince that he was. he had other claims to distinction than those of birth and kinship. If he possessed other talents higher than those qual ifying mm ror the discharge of rou tine duties, he owed his gifts to his father's line, for the Battonbergs are a military family. His father, who died young, wa3 certainly a cr.nable officer; his uncle, when Prince Alex ander of Bulgaria, proved himself a good commander aud for a time fo cusscd the world's a'tertion. Priiue i.ouis is a British admiral. Another incitement to n" Rati, n- berg to show the still." that is in b in may be found in hi ronseiousn-ss that the British regard Battenbei "s as upstarts who have married Ir.to royalty. They spring from a mor ganatic marriage of a Hesion prince. a circumstance that mr.y account for their beauty and brilliancy, such un ions often illustrating the theory of "natural selection." Prince H-it-v who founded the family's fortune in iMigund by his marriage to Prince-s Bearice, was one of the handsomest men or Ins time, tall, erect, soldier ly. He fairly loomed up among the British royalty by contrast. He look- the prince. With all his good looks, intelligence and charm, he failed to conquer popularity in England, the t olid Entiish conservntinn regard ing the marriage or Princess Bea trice as a mesalliance affecting the dignity of the realm. If British princes have not been en rolled hlt;h up on casualty li.ts ii is not fjm lack of pluck. T!:o house of Harevcr has abundance of ni.vsi- cnl coinage, but its military capacity not high. A army leaders its princes do not sfar.d con-pinions in its.ory. I he duke of York of luo years ago was a brave blunderer. The hue duke of Cambridge was n brave mediocrity in the Crimea. Th duke of Connuught saw service in Egypt in his early manhood. Perhaps it is Just as well for Great Britian and for British royalty that no tnili- i.uv tenuis nas developed among British princes. A prince who should come home crowned with the worthi ly won laureals of a distinguished general would not be acceptable to that great mass of British opinion that is jealous of military power and that is perpetually fearful of the ap pearance of "the man on horseback." British princes who are wise will not grasp too boldly at soldierly renown. Great Britian is not Germany and does not Intend to be. It Is determ ined that the monarch shall not gov ern too much. It would not relish the Identification of the king with the army, and it has absolutely no use for a military cast capnble of in fluencing policies. British princes who are soldiers are only secondari ly soldiers and must be nrenared to endure with what equanimity they can such sneers as that Bismarck is said to Have leveled at King Edward when Prince of Wales: That he l ad more uniforms and less militnrv knowledge than any other roval per sonage in Europe. TURKEY NOW IN Ih'vAR E.M.LWD AMI Fit A N't K DECLAR ED WAIS AtiAINST HEK. The South is Xet n Begi'iir. Manufacturer's Record. The Fouth is not a beggar. It does not need to beg and it can take enre of itrolf, or if it cannot do so then the sooner the people learn that fact and bring in others who can take care of themselves in Mich a heaven- favored land the better it will be. No other country on the face of the earth has so many advantages as the south, ixo other country upon which me sun snines is so rich in resources. iso other country is so well eouinned by nature to produce the foodstuff s of grain and provisions and vegeta- Dies ana iruits for man s sustenance. and no other country Is so rich in mineral and timber and water power resources so susceptible of develop ment. If In such a land as this, w here the farmers for the five years preceedln? me present crop received an average of largely over 12 cents a pound for neir cotton, yielding very large nro fits, one year's complete failure of the cotton crop, or one year's Inability, as at present, to sell the cotton crop, brings about such a condition as to nood the land with plasters begging for charity to "help the south,'" then It is time for the people of this sec tion who have backbone and stami na to take the lead and try to stem ne current. The south of olden days did not do so. The south blasted bv a four veur war never asked for charltv. and nev er In those days was the country plas tered with appeals "to help the south. In the ten-year period be tween 1892 and 1901, when cotton sold at from 4 to 5 and six and seven cents a pound In different years, the south suffered much, but It endured the situation and fought its fight without any such appeals as are now being made by politicians and others who are try ing to make the south be lieve that it ought to be a beggar and the world believe that it is a beggar. liuvsinn and Turkish Annie Fight, lug With Heults Clouded In France and Belgium the Annies Still Stand Each Other Off Ex perts lxMk For ltuUin Success to Force (iernians to Relax Efforts Against France and England Five Gennan Cruisers Defeated Three British Ships. Both France and England yester day officially and formally dn-lured war upon Turkey, and the Turkish and Russian armies are already en gaged in battle. It has become known that a naval battle look pL.ce last Sunday off the coast of Chile in the Pacific between a squadron of five Cerim ii cruisers and three British cruisers and a transport, in which the English were deHaK'd. Their ships have not since been heard from and may be lost. Tut light look place during a storm and the German report is thai one of the Lnu.-h crui sers went down with fourteen hun dred men on board. It is .-aid t!i;:t the German ships we.e iitwer than the British and had longer range guns, and thus had an eas victory. in northern France and Belgium where the great German armies lace the soldiers of France, England and Belgium, the conditions remain un changed. Though the Germans have been prevented from accomplishing their purpose in taking the coast towns, their enemies are not able to drive them back. A London dispatch of yesterday says: On the eastern frontier more wide sweeping movements ate being made by the opposing armies. The Russi ans, from all reports, have driven back the German ccnier to the river Wartlie in Russian Poland, have held beck a German olfensive move ment from East Prussia and are straightening out their line fur a more vigoroiis off end va aj..Ju.-i the, Austrians who lu.ve been tryii.g to beat their left wing in l.nui.i. II is to the Uittlis in tii:. region that the r.iiltiaiy men ;i leaking, fcr they declare if the Rii'slaiis wn ke p up their r.icccssf.i lighting against the Au.-trians and Gei'inns, relief will come to Ihe All.ea n.niies in tiio West Ixci.us: or the necessity for a withdrawal of i;ei.ii;ii army corps from Franco and GtliJiim to protect. Silesia and East Prussia. These military observers express be lief that the Turkish threat against Russian Caucasus will wec.Uen the Russian armies by withdrawal from Poland but the Russian authorities say they have sufficient troops on the spot to deal with Turkey. The first reports of the fighting between the Russians and the Turks are as conflicting as were the first Austrian Hnd Russian accounts of the warfare in Galicla. Each contender claims to have Invaded the other's territory and to have defeated his frontier armies. These fights, how ever, probably have been only ad vance guard affairs and it is thought here that some time may elapse be fore a pitched battle takes place. The Anglo-French fleet continues to Bombard the Dardinells forts but the Turks say the warships have inflicted no damage. In other parts of Turkey, British war-hips aro busy. The government, however, has ordered that linly places shall be respected by th:; l!ri;i:ii sun fin1 as the Indian subjects visiting them are not molo.-tej. This necessity fcr respecting th feelings of her M;, iem subject.;, it is considered here, may d;:mi,e,' England somewhat in the prosecu tion of the vi-.r i. gains t T::.-y h it with her large Moslem i opuiatloti It cannot be disregarded. In ad '.i Hon to assurancesi from the L.dicn Princes. England lus been informed by Moslem leaden in th Mal; y States that her war again t Tnrkty will not affect tha loyalty of the Moslem to the Empire. The result of the naval battle in the Pacific between British and German squadrons, deta.ls of which still are lacking here, naturally is the most discussed subject of the wr in England. It is realized that the worst accounts, which include the Finking of the Monmouth and serious damage to the Goodhope, probably are true. "It is the price of the Admiralty," says the average Englishman of this and other losses to ships since the war commenced. The balance thus far is on the side of Germany but every Britisher seems confident when the main fleets meet this discrepancy will be moret nan wiped out. It Is expected here that should the German fortress of Tslng-Tau fall, the British and Japanese vessels en gaged there will start out in an en deavor to round tip the eight or nine German cruisers still at larse. Shrouded in Mystery. The origin of the phrase "G save the king," la threaded in mys tery. It occurs In Coverdale's trans lation of the Bible, 153.1. Frondn has also quoted it as a watch -d o the navy as early ns 154! wi. i the countersign, "Long to reign ever u. " Another but little known version waa published at the time of the Restora tion. It begins God save Charles the King, Our Royal Roy; Grant him long years to reign In peace and jcy. In a manner of speaking, the den tist is a dealer in "ettracls."
