" The big prize voting contest is attracting more, attention ever; day,' so as an incentive to all con . testants we have decided to give the following special votes: v For every seven new subscrip tions 4,000 extra, making a total of 8,200. These subscriptions need not be for one party for seven years, or for seven differ ent people for one year, but must be new subscriptions for seven years,and must be handed in all at one time. For every seven renewal sub scriptions 3,000 extra, making a total of 6,500. These may be for seven different people, or all for one, but must be all renew als and must be handed in all at one time. The above special offer will hold good until the first count on Nov. 26th, at which tinfe votes will be counted by the judges who will award the $10 in gold to the contestant who receives the largest number of votes up to the first count. The ballot box will close promptly at 7:30 p m. on Tuesday, Nov. 26th. Remember the $10 in gold to be given to the contestant having the highest number of votes on Nov. 26 is a special prize offered by The Montgomerlan. It will in no way effect the standing of the winner of the contest. A few contestants thought that the winning of the $10 would effect their votes for the piano, It will not. All votes found in h& box on November 26 will be included in the final count.which '. will decide the winners of the pi ano and other prizes. Remember that each sub scriptaon I you ''receive either tew, renewal or.back will get a . certain number' of votes with each year and those votes with an extra bonus vote also. All votes to be counted must be in by 7:30 o'clock Tuesday evening, Nov. 26th.

Cnei BrOnM tl .TNT TnUT From WiflJtoil-Salem KiHed Tom Young In Tka County. "Yes, I killed the d: n ras cal and I don't bare who knows it." These are in substance the words of J. P. Cones who is now in jail here awaiting the next term o f Montgomery criminal court when he will be tried for the murder of Tom Young (we are informed this name is cor rect) which took place in t h e western part of this , county at Kirk's ferry a few weeks ago, Cones and Young were employ ed at Holland's saw mill in the Western part o f the county. The.y bad a quarrel over some personal matter. Cones claiming that Young had misrepresented him while talking with other persons, and this led to a fight The hostility continued between the two for several days and while at Kirk's ferry one day about three' weeks ago Young was unconsciously pounced upon by Cones who hit him in the head several times with rocks." Young was knocked unconscious and never" regained consciousness, dying in a short time. Cones went to Winston-Salem and after the death of Young he was' arrested on a warrant issued from this county charging him responsible for the death; of the latter. Sheriff McKenzie went to Winston-Salem last week and brought the prisoner to Troy Friday afternoon. Cones does not deny the killing o f Young and talks freely about the mat ter, saying that it was his in tention to kill him when he hit him with the rocks. He says h was justified in killing Young as the -latter had - made charges against him that were - false and disparaging to his character. As well a s can be learned there were no eye ; witnesses to the killinic; The dead ' man leaves a wife and-some small children. Neither of the men are natives of v,;a Annnf ir thoii tinmn hoinr in Winston-Salem. Predicted W2ai : Precdeut Joliet, 11.1. ; Nov. 7.

In a letter sent to Hon. A. S. Burleson, of Texas, in the Demo cratic national headquarters, M. A.

He spoke at Macon Saturday afternoon to a large audience, and it is the unanimous verdict that his is the best and most effective Democratic speech ever delivered in this county, and we have some good ones here. We are interested here in driving the mysterious stranger from our state and his speech has helped a great deal. He de livers a speech that will please anyaudience and make votes in it. Large labor centers ought to hear this man, Give him the audiences, and I feel safe in say ing that the Democratic party has not a single, speaker on its list of campaign speakers who can do more vote getting for the. party and I care not of' what class the audience is "composed.

C, Nov. 11th. 800,000 Red Cross Christmas Seals have been shipped into North Carolina through the State-Red Cross Seal commission with headquarters in Charlotte. These are being sent out to the various cities of the State to be placed on sale during December; 80,000 have been sent to Wil mington, where the sale of the seals is being prompted, by a "committee under the leadership of Mrs, Cuthbert Martin, -President of the local Chapter of the American National Red Cross Society. Charlotte is planning to sell 100,000 seals. 50,000 have been sent to Asheville and the same number to Winston-Salem. Ra leigh gets 40,000 and other cities in proportion. The smaller eiti rs are falling into line also. Troy gets 2,000 seals, Oxford 10,000 and Elk in 1,500. No community is too small and none too large to have its share. All the mon ey received from tne sale of these Christmas stamps goes to nelp fight tuberculosis. The seals are used as decorations on Christmas letters and packages sent by mail or express, and are much more decorative than much of the fancy papers and ribbons used. They are very decorative and deservedly popular. Every one who buys these Red Cross Seals is helping to stamp out the dread disease, tuberculosis. Somebody Was on the "Bom.

Rumor Afloat That Seaboard Has Pur- chased the Aberdeen & Rockfish Fayetteville, Nov. 11 What appears to be a fact, and one hitherto unknown and unsus- Decte J by the public, but of vital interest to this city and section has just been unearthed from sub surface railroad cir c 1 e s. From what has the appearance of good authority, though not official, comes the report that the Seaboard Air Line railroad will have, in a very few weeks, a railroad track, terminal facili ties and a substantial depot right in the heart of Fayetteville The report is that the Seaboard interests have purchased the Aberdeen and Rockfish railroad, which is now being extended in to the city. This road has purchased con siderable property here, includ ing a right of way into the heart of town, and is constructing a substantial and commodious freight depot of brick. From the business center of the town this new depot is not more than half as distant as the freight de pots of the Atlantic Coast Line and the Raleigh, Charlotte and Southern. Track has been laid to a point near perhaps within the city limits and constmc- ion work is being pushed to com nletion. Within a very few c weeks at the most, trains will be operated into the city, bring ing and receiving freight shipped via the Seaboard Air Line, re gardless of any question as to the ownership of what has al ways operated and probably will continue to operate under the name of the Aberdeen and Rock fish railroad. It was the Norfolk Southern's purchase of the old i Raleigh and Southport that moved the ; Sea board to purchase the Aberdeen and Rockfish, if such a transac tionhas actually been made, as M w reported vfrom; a leaves very little room for doubt.
