December 18. Then the three grand prises of the whole contest and the twelve district prlies will be awarded. There Is only one thine certain about the winning, and that is that the contestant who turns in the most subscriptions and thus se cures the most rotes will win. The contestant who thinks she can rest on what has already been done is as cer tain to lose as anything can be, for there are workers now who are wide awake. ETen the district prizes are as uncertain as ever. Now we are Riving a diamond ring and twelve gold brooches as special prizes this week. These will be award ed next Monday night, and like the other special prizes that have been awarded, these will have nothing to do with the count in the final con test. Those who win the special prizes this week win them solely on amount of work done this week. A contestant who is away behind in work in the whole contest may spur up and beat some of the leaders this week. Or the ones who have been working right along way win the special prize. The special prizes tjils week depends solely upon work done this week, but all work done counts in the full contest as if there had been no special prize. Contestants who up to this week were inactive and quiet have opened up their big guns and are spreading consternation among some or the old contestants but with all this work going on some insist on waiting to see if somebody will not come In and vote for them, or depend ing altogether upon their friends. Contestants have the privilege of ask ing their friends to come in and vote for them and quite a number are do ing it but prizes will never be won by this work alone.

Mysterious Affair Occurs in Allnntit When Shoo .Manufacturer Kills His I neinl. Atlanta, Ga., Dispatch, Dec. 2. James P. Callaway, prominent At lanta broker and clubman, was shol and killed here before dawn today by W. P. Carhart, president of a local shoe maiulaeturing company. Tho shoot ing occurred as Callaway was elimlmi;; over the balcony of the rear porch of an apartment occupied by Mr.and Mrs. Carliart nnd their son In a fiti-h'oniible reel ion of the city. Investigation of the t raged v liv a coroner's jury resulted in a verdict of jus'tilliible homicide. Carliart lesii- l tied that he thought Callaway wns a uuiKiar wnen ne nred at him w th a revolver. The bullet took effect near the heart. Only one other witness was examnined and with the an nouncement of the verdict the police released Carhart.who surrendered af ter the shooting and who had been held in custody pending develop ments. J. W. Goldsmith, who occupied a first floor apartment directly under that of the Carharts, testified' that he heard some one moving about in the upstairs suite shortly before Mr. and Mrs. Carhart returned home at one o'clock from an exclusive club, where Callaway aUo had been earlier in the evening. Louis Carhart, the son, was absent from the city. No evidence was introduced which tended to show how Caiaway gained entrance to the apartment. An ex amination of the keys found on his person revealed none that would fit any of the doors. The dead man lived more than a mile from the scene of the shooting. It was understood tonight that fur ther attempts would be made by the police to solve the mystery of Calla way's presence in the apartment. So licitor General Hugh M. Horsey said he did not contemplate calling the at tention of the grand jury to the case pending further developments. Mrs. Carhart, who suffered a nerv ous collapse arter the shooting, re vived sufficiently to go to the under taking establishment where the cor oner's inquest was held. She remain ed in a nearby room, holding herseir ready to testily if called upon. When she later returned home she suffered another nervous breakdown. Before the inquest Mrs. Carhart made a statement, saying Calawav was not a member of their nartv at me chid last night. "He Just drop ped around to our to our table cas ually and had a few drinks then left," she said. Mrs. Carhart went on to say that after they had reached home she left her husband's room to go to the bathroom and as she rass ed along the hall she saw, through the open door of her son's room, a man fumbling in a bureau drawer. I screamed and Mr. Carhart came to the door," she declared. " 'Get your pistol. I cried. Mr. Carhart then entered my son's room with his revolver and I soon heard wo shots. Then he came back. "I've Killed whoever it Is, he said." Callaway was about 38 years old nd a bachelor. He was a friend of he Carhart family and had been In the latter's home many times as the guest of Louis Carhart. He was a brother of Frank Caiaway, president r the Atlanta Southern Association Baseball club and prominent lit vari ous business affairs. Carhart is about fifty years old. while his wife Is younger. . If we could leave our experiences Instead of worldly goods, our chil dren would be richer. The reason we can't have peace in Europe is because none of them are satisfied with the piece they have. PAGEI-AND NEWS. Fx-Piicvland Cop Is Hounding 'Fin I n in Kershaw.

PIGS TO .MECKLENIil'Klj HOYS. Twenfy-Siv of Tb.iii Given Out in Form or Awards for Exhibits of Corn. Charlotte Observer. Twenty-six members of the boys" corn clubs of Mecklenburg rounty yesterday received pigs of a prized breed for their successes at ihe Char lotte Fair in corn exhibits. The pigs were distributed from the Selwyn Farm south of the city where they were reared and were given bv the mnrintte fair Association of which Mr. Edgar B. Moore, president of the Charlotte Fair Association, is propri etor ana own. The boys ventured their way through the disagreeable- ne.s or the day to receive their awards and these were handed out by Mr. Moore and Mr. R. W. Graebel who had charge of the corn exhibits. With the pigs that were distributed yesterday the boys are expected to continue their efforts, the majority or those who received these prizes hav ing Joined the Mecklenburg pig club which was instituted here last Satur day by Mr. J. D. McVean of Raleigh who came to this community esne- cially for that purpose. Through the instrumentality of a number of agencies that are working toward the same end. interst in seri culture among the younger people of me couniy is being steadily stimulat ed and it is believed that there never has been a time when the farm held such alurements and attractiveness for the boys and girls. The organi zation of these various clubs in the several communities of the county and by which the efforts of one town ship are set over against the efforts of another, all working toward the same general plan of accomplishment. nas been having the very pronounced effect of stirring enthusiasm among the boys and girls and in the end even greater achievements are an ticipated than have so far been re corded. WAi: ;OES UNDECIDED. The Lull in FratH'e Omtinufs Also the Uncertainly of HoMilts in I'M. land War W ill ; On. AH parties seeai determined that the great war shall be fought to a finish. The loll in the fighting in France continues, awaiting the re sults in Poland between the Russians and Germans. The Austrian have taken Bel grade, the capital of 5ervia. The German parliament has met and unanimously voted another huge war loan. At last the Russians have ap proached within firing distance of Cracow, their advance from Przemysl having proceeded without real check. They were reported today to be mounting heavy batteries around the town of Wielirsko, which they occu pied yesterday and from which th outer forts of Cracow can be reached. important as this is for the fail of Cracow would lay open the roads to Vienna, Breslau and Berlin the main interest in the East continues to rest with the operations on the irregular front through Lodz and Lowicz to the East P russian border Official pronouncement to the pro gress here are guarded and indefi nite, and it is difficult to arrive at a conclusion as to the course of events. It is apparent, however, that a new battle has developed souihwesf of Lodz, where the Germans have iormed a new line with fresh forces brought from Kalise and are again trying to penetrate the Russian cen ter. The Russians too, have had time to strighten out the line, and in the eyes of the allies, another battle fol lowing so closely (.hat just concluded In this region, must help them in the long run, for, it is argued, win or lose, the Germans must be further weakened, and in addition, soon will have to turn their attention to the Russian offensive against Siiesia nnd around Cracow. On the other hand, German experts believe that tho defeat for tle ;Us- sians would enable the Gerni.in gen erals to unite all their forces for another blow against the Allies In r ranee. CANNING GIRLS' SUt't INS. Their Made n Piolit of .s;:'i Products in Demand. Raleigh News nnd Observer. Mrs. Jane S. McKimmon. in cl'niT-e of the Girls' Demonstration Work tinder the supervisee- Of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture. has compiled a report of the opera tions of the girls' canning clubs nf the State. The report embraces 30 counties in which tho clubs operat ed, two counties failing to report. ine report shows that 83(1 girls were members of these clubs; that they put up 259,091 -packages of can ned fruits and vegetables in tins and glass, having a money value of $35, 688.50. In addition to this, they sold fresh vegetables and fruits amount ing to $3,019.65. The cost of rannini- the fruits and vegetables amounted to $9,704.16. From thin it will be seen that the girls made n net nrnfH of $25,983.64, which is a remarkable record for the smaller number, less than a thousand girli participating. The cost above is exclusive of the girls' labor, as it was almost impos sible to get anything like a correct estimate of the time consumed in canning nnd gardening. Mrs. Mc- Minmon Is now working on : ohm m remedy this defect net year. Mrs. .YlcMinmon is In receint of a elter from one ol the lending whole sale grocery concerns in t.v Vn,-v city, placing an order with her for i (.ii load ot rancy packncen of frnita and vegetables ror delivery nui .!.. tember, to be canned by the girls cf ne Aortn Carolina Canning Clubs k representative of th ited the various fairs in tho during the fall and was so imprcs-ed with the work of the Tar Hell girls that he immediately cot in tnn,.i, with hU house, recommending that the order be placed.

Always apply cold-blooded business to every hot proposition. Out of Eggs. Wadesboro Ansonian. It often happens that a dozen fresh eggs cannot be round in the stores of Wadesboro, even though the price ranges around 30 cents, often higher And yet many people living in Anson county complain of "hard times and no money in the country" to pay even their small debts. Is it any won der they are hard up when they give so little attention to such a readv n.oney product as fresh eggs and fry ing chickens? Tho Ruler at tho Front. London Dispatch, Dec. 1st. The battle in northern Poland is being fought out under the eyes of the German emperor on the one side and the Russian emperor on the oth er. These two monarchs left for the front today so that virtually the heads of the nations at war are with their troops. The king of England Is in France; the king of Belgium, as usual, is spending all his time with the sol diers, while President Polncaro of France started today for another vis It to the northern battlefields. .
