No. 76. MONROE, N. C FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1911. ONE DOLLAR A YEAR. THE CROWN OF SUCCESS SPECIAL PRIZES WERE FIRST SKIKMISHKS. The Main Bailie is Now on and This Week U the Time to Work llecause the .Weajons For Winning are Sharper Now Subscriptions (Jet More Votes The Charming Win. era of the Prizes 1 jit Week. The Monroe Journal is proud of the forty or fifty young ladies who are working for subscriptions for the pa per and for prizes for themselves. These young ladies are among the most accomplished and popular in their respective communities. They are working in an enterprise that re quires tact, good Judgment, energy and ambition. A young woman who has the grit to thus work has got the thing upon which success is based and these will make places for themselves in the busy world of today. The Journal so much appreciates the work that they are doing that it is spending every possible cent to give them a number and variety of pres ents worthy of their efforts. Already fifteen prizes have been delivered. These, with the three grand prizes and the twelve district prizes to be awarded at the end of the contest, will make twenty-eight in all that shall have been distribut ed in this contest. This is mighty fine for these hard times. Of course no contestant will do half the work she would have done had times been normal, but that Is our loss, not theirs. The prizes already awarded have been won as follows: special general phizes. Miss Myrtle Illy I In1 of Jackson township, and Mrs. W. It. McManus of .Monroe. These prizes were gold love chains. That won by Miss Wy the had as a pendant a gold locket. The one won by Mrs. McManus had as a pendant an exquisite cameo. It is not the money value of these pret ty things which will he most remem bered, but the fact that they repre sent victories won In hard work and In honest competition with other en ergetic and popular competitors. The laurel prize which signifies success if, always more valuable and more high ly prized when It has been won over bard and honorable competition. It has always been so in the history of the world and will always be. Win ning means not only personal work but the possession of friendships and the good will of others without which no one can win in anything worth while. WINNERS OF DISTRICT PRIZES. Besides the two general prizes thirteen district prizes have been awarded. These have gone to young ladies who not only have proven their own energy but have shown the pos session of undisputed popularity and good will In their own communities. The gold rings are pretty enough and valuable enough so far as money goes for any one to wear, but those quali ties are more than quadrupled by these other things. We congratulate these young ladies most heartily on their standing In their communi ties, llut they must remember that their competitors though unsuccess ful for the time being, also possess their loyal supporters, and that the special prizes have no relation what ever to the final distribution and test of rkill and popularity. The district winners are as follows: CITY OF MONROE Miss Myrtle Price. MONROE TOWNSHIP Miss Mary Jones. HANDY UIIh;E TOWNSHIP Miss Clyde lielk. LANES CHEEK TOWNSHIP Miss Sarah Itaker Miss Eula Phlfer. MARSHVILLE TOW XSH I P Miss Rena Moore. GOOSE CREEK TOWNSHIP Miss May Austin. IU'FORD TOWNSHIP .Miss Ma) me Ilelk. VANCE TOWNSHIP Miss Dora King. NEW SALEM TOWNSHIP .Miss Ola Modlln. LANCASTER COUNTY-. Miss Ethel Taylor. CH ESTEHF1 ELD COUNTY Miss Maud Funderhmk. THE GREAT TIME FOR WORK. The Extra Vote Period Is rapidly clipping away. What are yon doing, contestants? With only three weeks of the contest yet to run there Js ev ery reason why your time should be 4 , well spent. Half-hearted and unin terested work will not make winners'. . N matter what has been the appa rent ease of Dome of the contestant in winning nihh-IuI prixes, it is going to take work to win at the last. Contestants can least afford to slow down now, for some contestant who has not been in the field la like ly to open up and make things warm f ' the old contestant In her district, i . i't console yourself that you have the district prize "sewed up." for it is right at the last when wonders take place in a popularity contest. Good generals spend more time In making preparations for battle than in the battle itself, likewise good con testants. They lay out their work carefully and deliberately and then set about accomplishing their task. Friends of the contestants are im portant factors which are consider ed in this preliminary arrangement. A few contestants have lost their nerve and are giving up. This is not a good recommendation for this par ticular young lady inasmuch as her friends are expecting her to do something. The contest is the chief topic of conversation among the readers of The Journal. Not only are they tak ing it up but they are beginning to act it and In just the Identical way that the Irishman sypathied with the unfortunate man they are hand ing over their subscription or renew al and wishing their favorite well. Occasionally her from a con testant who says that times are hard. Just like we didn't find out that lit tle insignificant part of the program at about the saim; time she did. Now. what we are trying to io, is do our part In making them better. Another contestant says that the people in her community have no Money the wors't kind of reflection o- her neighbor. and friends. She is inactive and l:i trying to pit the blame on her people and If the man ager were heartless enough to inform her neighbors of this fact there would be "something doing." It all amount to this: Some people have Initiative and lasting energy, others haven't. The ambitious, energetic young lady who has some will power of her own and does not have to run out and See what MUs So and So thinks of anything before she acts, is the one who Is going to win. Of course getting subscriptions Is work who said it wasn't? Hut even play puts on some of the aspects of work after one has played awhile. Winners of special prizes should not for a moment think that the same amount of work and number of sub scriptions will win one of the CHAM) PRIZES. Never. You must couple what you have already done to ev erything you can possibly do during the remaining weeks of the content. Better take some time off and get them this week and next. Following Is the scale of votes for this week and next or up to Monday night, November 30th: t FOR FIRST WEEK ENDING MOX- DAY NIGHT, NOVEMBER 5M. NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS.

The Ansonlnn'a announcement to adopt and stick to the cash in ad vance system for subscriptions, begin ning Jan. 1,' 1915, is meeting with better satisfaction than we had ex pected. We were afraid that some people would complain, but most peo ple say they would rather pay for a newspaper that way so as to avoid mistakes and misunderstandings so common with subscription ac counts. Then, too, a subscription ac count of three or four or five dollars is a mighty hard debt to pay. By the cash in advance system your paper will be discontinued when your time la out and then you can subscribe again if you wish to, but the paper will not be continued without your orders, even though the law allows the publisher to collect so long as you continue to receive the paper. We are sure that all of us will like the pay-as-you-go plan much better. Behold, a Few Grains of Wheat. Ansonlan. You want to sae MrCCBowman's exhibit of wheat. He attended a vet eran's reunion up In Virginia last year and pulled a head of wheat from a field. He planted the 21 grains and has an interesting story about how much It made. A quart of the wheat will be on exhibit and you may guess at the number of grains he has made from the original head. The Fire in The Journal Building:. The fire which broke out in The Journal building just before press time last Tuesday was scantily men tioned in the paper that day for lack of time. The fire furnished a good deal of anxiety for a while until it was subdued by the firemen. It orig inated from a flying match head which fell upon some cotton samples and spread over the room before you could say "Jack Robinson." The dam age to the building was about five hundred dollars. The Messrs. Fair ley, who occupy the office, lost a pile of cotton samples and some of their office fixtures. The fire ate through the building in one place and the whole building was enveloped in a dense smoke that made it look like the vhole thing was burning. The Western I nion Telegraph Of.ice, which is in the room adjoining the cotton office, Mas also damaged by water. The Journal desires to express its appreciation to the fire company for their work in saving the building. Our company works as faithfully and efficiently as any volunteer company can. The members receive no pay and they save thousands of dollars to the people of the town every year. They work willingly, gladly, and bravely. It has beeii said that this fire was not put out as quickly as it might have been. Perhaps a paid fire department, with its members standing at the fire house waiting day and night for an alarm, might have done it more quickly. But that is not the point. The point is that if our volunteer boys had not been on hand there would have been no Journal building and office at all now, and that fact Is good enough for us. This paper was burnt out lock, stock and barrel ten years ago, and one experience of that kind Is enough for us. When the next fire occurs, the firemen will gather from their various occupations where they will be at work making their own support. and save the property of some other citizen as quickly and willingly as they have heretofore. And in behalf of the next man, as well as in be hulf of ourselves, we thank them. Mr. Austin Lost His Dogs. Mr. John A. An: tin of the Sineeri ty neighborhood has been forced to kill two valuable shepherd dogs which he prized very highly. They were Linen bra mad dog, and though it grieved him to do so, he promptly killed them. On Tuesday a strange dog appeared at Tom Cuthbertson's near Mr. Austin and bit his dog. It t hen went by Mr. Austin's and bit both of his dogs. Mr. Austin phoned to his neighbor, Mr. R A. utontz, mat the animal was headed that way, and when it ar rived Mr. Clontz was ready for it and shot and killed it. The head was immediately sent to Raleigh for examination and the following day a telegram was received saying that the head showed that the dog had rabies. Then Mr. Av.::in killed his pets. The Journal happens to know what value Mr. Austlu put upon these dogs, for only a short time ago we saw both of them in action In Mr Austin's large pasture, where, under his direction, they drove the cattle wherever he wished them to go. Ev ery man loves his dog, but when that dog Is of real service like these were, the loss is doubly felt. Almost Made in Germany. If you had a household article which had been In constant use- for one hundred and thirty years and pust now needed mending for the first time, you would feel that the mi'ker had one a pretty good Job wouldn't you? Mr. George E. Flow came by the Journal office yester day wiih such an article, which be longs to his mother. The article is a pair of chimney tongs, one leg of which showed signs of a title rheu matism and had to bo taken to the blacksmith shop to be straightened. The tongs were made for Michael Crowell, Mrs. Flow's grandfather, one hundred and thirty years ago. They show that they were made by a skillful artisan, who was probably a country blacksmith of Rowan county. Th"y were not "made In Germany," but the next thing to It. Mr. Crowell himself was a native German, and the blacksmith who made the tongs was probably one also. They have been in constant use in tho family all these years and are good enough to last as many more. Some Cotton and Corn, Fourten wagons from the farms of Messrs. B. A. Sustare, J. E. Sustare, and J. R. Benton, who live in the Mt. Harmony section on the Union and Mecklenburg line, came to town In a bunch Wednesday and delivered fifty nine bales of cotton, which were sold to Arm field and Williamson, at seven sixty for short staple and eight cents for Rowden. This was only a part of the crops of these gentlemen, who are close neighbors and friends. The Messrs Slstare live on the Mecklen burg aide and Mr. Benton on the Union side. Last Friday night Mr. J. E. Sls tare had his corn shucking. The corn pile was 99 feet long, ten feet wide and three feet dep. It was estimated to contain 1250 bushels. There was a big crowd of shuckers and after the work was finished some went home. But a little bunch of one humhvrt and twenty people staid and took of the big supper that was spread. It took a hundred pound sack of flour to feed them, with "other things according Death of Mrs. Nan ford Si:iith. Mrs. Mi llie Smith, wife of Mr. Sanford Smith of Lanes Creek town ship, died last Monday, November 16th, after an illness of long dura tion. While the death of this good woman was not unexpected, its real ization came as a sad loss to her community. She was a woman whose usefulness will be greatly missed. She was noted for her goodness of heart, her helpful and devoted spirit in all the various sphere of life. The home, the church, the community, have all sustained a loss In her pass ing. The funeral was held Tuesday, Rev. J. A. Bivens. the veteran pas tor, and Rer. E. C. Snider and Rev. M. D. L. Preslar all taking part In the services. The deceased was a faithful and life long member of the Baptist church. Mrs. Smith Is survived by her de voted husband, and three sons and four daughters. The sons are Messrs. Marcus, Cvrus, and Roy Smith, and the daughters are Mrs. Ada Griffin and Misses Eva, May, and Annie Smith. Mrs.t Smith's maiden name was Cox. the was a sister of Mr. J. B.

Session Just Closed nt Greenville Re-elects Old Officers and AdopW Forward Resolutions. Greenville Dispatch, Nov. 19th. After mapping Its legislative pro gram and electing officers, all old of ficers being re-elected except S. H. llobbs, who declined to serve and was succeeded by R. H. W. Stone on tho executive committee, one of the most successful sessions in the history of the State Farmers' Union has closed The union is in a vigorous anil healthy condition with over $200 rain In (Iip treasury over last year. The legislative proirnm demands a legalized primary for a!l officers from President down on the Vame day. Land segregation between races is demanded, permitting any commu nity to limit future sales of land. The repeat or the crop lien law was strongly advocated, also a 50 per cent reduction in cotton. Farmers are urged to organize mutual fire insurance companies and get Torrens deeds in all land transfers. Great Interest was shown In Com munity Service Week and all edu cational maters, compulsory edit cation of children from eight to 14 years of age being advocated. A committee on ruarl credits was nam ed to evolve plans for the State and Nation. Other resolutions favoring abolishing the office of county treas urer, larger Inheritance tax and In conie tax, demanding that public ser vice lawyers resign such positions be fore taking office. Bring It to Monroe. Ansonlan. Almost every day wo hear farmers complaining about the need of a flour mill in Anson county. A great number of farmers In the county are raising wheat and carrying it across Rocky river to have it ground. Oth ers want to raise wheat but this lack of milling facilities is holding them back. Only a part of this conn ty Is adapted to cotton; in fact, this is only an ordinary cotton county compared with a number of others in this State. Instead of nppreciatine the fact that Anson is a good grain county the farmers are being for-'ed to grow cotton for a money crop when wheat should be more profitable. Who will build a roller mill fcr Anson county? SNAKE l HIS KID. Paseland Man's Rheumatism Cured When He Fo'ind an Unwelcome Belt-Fellow ;HUer News. Pageland Journal. Mr. C. J. Funderburk had been suffering Trith rheumatism and was in b'd yesterday afternoon when an ugly snake was discovered on his bed. His condition improved so rapidly that in a jiffy he was out of bed and doing a man's work putting an end to the snake, which had probably been brought into the house by the children as they brought in wood for the night. Fire was discovered in Mr. T. A. Gulledge's ginning plant here last Wednesday morning, but it was ex tinguished before very much damage was done, and the gins were running again in a day or so. Mrs. Nellie Gordon, of Mineral Springs, returned to her home from Chester, where she underwent an op- peration for tumor, and also one for appendicitis. She Is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Melton of Mt. Croghan, R. F. D. 1. In the last issue of The Journal was printed an article telling how to keep weevils out of corn. Mr. P. H. Arant says he has a remedy that will beat it. He says that sassafras roots mixed along in the corn will prevent weevils just as effectively as any of fumigation plans recommended by the agricultural writers. Mrs. Minerva Funderburk died at the home of her brother. Mr. John E. Funderburk, nt Dudley Monday morning at 1 o'clock. She was about 85 years old and had. been in poor health for Fome time and had been almost helpless with rheumatism for sevf ral months.

Thirty-live Days of Fighting on Coast By Germans, English and French Shows Xo Results The Great Struggle Between Russians and Genitalis Now the Objeet of Inter est Burying the Dead. London Dispatch, Nov. 19th. Public interest now is centered in the battle of Russians and (Vrmans between the Vistula and Warta Riv ers In Poland, for it is believed the outcome there will have a marked ef fect on the operations elsewhere and on the duration' of the war. Both German and Kussian head quarters are very sparing with infor mation. All that is definitely known is that the Russian advance guard, consisting largely of cavalry, which advanced right up to the ' German frontier after the battle at Warsaw, met superior forces and has fallen back more than half the distance covered in the advance. The Germans are tending forces into the country between the two rivers where the battle must be fought, hoping that in this confined area the Russians will net be able to deploy their enormous armies to ad vantage. The Russians, however, now can choose their own ground for the battle, and it is probable they will select it as far as possible from the German lines of communication. In Galicia, before Cracow, and In East Prussia, the Russians are push ing their advantage, apparently dis regarding the fact that their centre has been compelled to fall back. They also are showing much activity In the Carpathians to prevent the Austrians from retiring into Hun gary. It Is stated tl.ey already have cut off 800,000 Austrians, who will now be compelled, If defeated, to re treat westward. In Flanders and Fiance the bat tle which has been going on for 33 days has ii('a;n d vi loped into an ar tillery duel. This doubtless u- due to imbilify of the infantry on either sid to operate successfully over the ni'.'ddy ground, and to the extended liood area between the oe;ut end DixMiiude. While th.y are moving men eastward to oppose the Ri'-vdnns, me uermans are reported to be bring ing more big guns to the western front. Kussian nnd Turkish squad rons have met in a long distance duel off Sehastopol and both claim virtory. The Russian report rays the Turkish cruiser Goebcn wns damaged, while the Turks claim a Russian battleship suffered severely and that the other Russian warships lied. A Swiss who is doing Red Cross duty at Brussels has written a letter home, part of which Is published in Le Sulss, in which he says that "cem etery" trains continue to arrive from the front with the bodies tied into bundles of four each to facilitate transportation. The bodies are burned promptly in furnaces which have been erected outside cf Brussels. The Swiss also says that the number arriving in Brussels Is "unimaginable." ., Tts not what man does exalts him, hut hat man would do. Browning. A ImhI Creamery. Waxhuw Enterprise. Mr. J. E. Howard, r.i) industrious ritiz.Mi of thin eoii'munity, Is prepar ing to operate a creamery at his farm near Waxhaw in a short while. The creamery will cater primarily to the Vaxh;:w trade. We understand that this new industry will be con ducted on the lale't and most ap proved plans. The Enterprise hopes that Mr. Howard will meet with suc cess In the undertaking. President Wilson, who spent Sat urday night and Sunday In New York with bis friend, Mr. E. M.
