Flordia ranked next with seven deaths. : Flordia, with 91 injuries led that I column while Georgia trailed with <55, Jhe latter made up principally by the Nahunta accident and week-end accidents in Atlanta.

Wade has sent out the following in reference to Thrift, Week. , , , “Doubtless it has alreai y been brought to your attention th.it Janu ary 17th to 23rd has been designated as Thrift Week. “It appears to me that th s is an opportunity for our own Build ng and Loan Associations to take an active part and bring this to the aaentioij of our entire citizenship. Certainly, thrift must be installed into o n peo ple and the method of saving cannot have a greater medium than oir own local building and loan associations in their own respective comm imties. The shares purchased in buildi lg anil loan associations are tax-free and are as safe an investment as a Lnited States Liberty Bond. Could ai ything be safer? Do you know that the assets of our building and loan associations doubled | during the past five years and I am sure that if w e continue to bring i this subject of thrift to the attention -of our own people there wdl be no limit to the growth of these institu-; tions and we will eventually make oui State a State of home owners. \ “We want our people to own iheirj homes; we want to see more, and not less of private property. y\ e want | North Carolina known tor its- chrilt , and home ownership.

Eula Pearl was eleven years old, and she had been a sufferer of the Brights disease for some time, but pneumonia caused her almost sudden death which made it all the harder for h' r friends and relatives to bear. Many have been tne token and ex pressions of sympathy tendered the grief stricken parents by numerous , kind friends, but the sweevesi. com fort to them is the blessed thought that their daughter has been trans planted from the sorrows of earth, to the joys of Heaven, and while sne cannot come to them they can go to her, if faithful and time to the lath er’s teaching*-. She leaves a taturi, mother, two sisters and two broth *! ■, to mourn her death. The funeral ser vices were conducted at Watkins Chapel. The interment was in the church cemetery.—A COUSIN The Zebulon Record Mayor Daniel’s Appeal to Join The Red Cross 0 " I As Mayor of Zebulon and a citizen j of eastern Wake county, I appeal to all men and women “To answer the call of those who suffer in times of disaster, and to extend a helping hand to the unfortunate in our com munity and all over the world at all times. Everyone should take this op portunity to renew his allegiance to this humanitarian organization, and have a share in its great work. “The American Red Cross repre sents the highest ideals of service in our community, and no more fitting j tribute can be paid us than to say j that we are closely linked with htis great force for human welfare. “I therefore call on every citizen to have a share in it sbeneficent ac tivities in every part of our land by answering the Roll Call which opened Armistice Day and closes on Thanks giving.” E. C. DANIEL, Mayor. SENIORS ENTEKTAINED Misses Justine Davis and Ida Ga boon entertained the Senior Class and High School Faculty to a Hallowe’en party Thursday night, Oct. 29 at the home of Miss Davis. Upon their arrival the guests were met by a ghost who silently led the ! way to the back yard where there j was a huge bon-fire. Each one was blindfolded and asked to take some article from a table. This article signified their fu.ure occupation. After this Hallowe’en games were played around the bon-fire. Then they were led up mountains and down streams by the ghost. Miss W ilia Horton won the prize for the best costume, after which fortunes were told. Then they were led into the witch’s den where many gruesome sights met their eyes and amid howls and shrieks of fear parts of John! Brown’s dead body were passed i around. ' Apples, pop corn, and roasted marshmallows were served. ..As the guests departed, the hostesses gave them each a good-night (candy) kiss. All the Seniors’ of the class of 1926 and a few of the members of the High School Faculty were pres ent. This is the first entertaiment | given the present Senior class and | everyone reported a very nice time, j No Mail Delivery On Christmas Day Washington, Nov. B.—An advance Christmas present for mail carriers and most other postal employes comes from Postmaster General New today in the form of an announcement that no delivery of ordinary mail would be made Christmas day. From midnight, December 24, to midnight, December 25, all postal op- | erations will be suspended except the: maintenance of specail delivery and the “relaying” of the mails so that they will .be ready when normal de- 1 livery is resumed. , • “It is rtialized that this experi ment is a great undertaking” said .M r. I New, “but it is believed that it is in line with the sentiments of the"public and if this can be done without tool I grea4 loss of service. ! “It is confidently hoped that it will ; succeed and that our large force ol ; workers in the field may for the first time have the benefit of a real hoh i day.” . To make possible the Christmas | shut-down, the “mail early” campaign has been launched already with re newed vigor. Postmasters have been directed to solicit the co-operation of newspapers, chambers fti Commerce, rchool teachers, theaters, motion pic ! ture b ",ises and every other publicity agent to stimulate co-operation.

Cole Damage Suit May Wait a Year Uuless there is a special term of civil court called for the trial of the Cole d image case, the folks who are excited about will have to calm a year, according to Clerk “Trucy” Roy ster, of Raleigh. Mr. Royster says there are 100 or more civil cases on the local cal endar and they will have to go off before the Cole case can come on. The fact that §150.000 is at stake will not necessarily hurry the is sue. Mr. Cole is not gaing to rush things and Mr. Ormond cannot. It is not likely that special le«m will be called. Governor McLean hur ried the criminal case and had a judge working on it within 45 days. That issue was settled with a judg ment of not guilty. But the finding of the Union jury turns out not to have been very generally popular. A wait of one year will take a world of popular interest away. It should work to the advantage of Mr. Cole who got off lightly at the other hear ing and then ran into a very savage public sentiment. The defendant is said to be in Ar kansas, but his friends do not believe the recurring rumor that he is going to move away from Rockingham. Different Kind Red Cross Membership The following statement was issued by Mrs. W. K. Phillips, Chairman of the'Red Cross membership camp ign which opens here Arin: lice Day Nov. 11th, explaining the different kin us of )nembe r km and the disposition that, is made v.‘ the money. “There are four types of member ships, she stated, ' involving 825 810, §5, and 81 membership fees. From each membership only fifty cents goes to National Headquarters of the Rod Cross to carry on its nati onal and international work. The rest of the money remains in the trea sury cf the local Chapter to finance the work in the community. There fore, from a $25-membcrship §24.50 is. spent locally, while lifty cents goes inio the National Red I ross treasury. Similariy, with a §1 -membership, 50 vents goes to National Headquarters and fifty cents remains for our Ch; p | ter. The Red Cross holds no tag 'days The Roll Call is its only means 1 of support for either local activities or for the work of the National Or ganization. Since we do not now have an active Red Cross Chapter, our part of the proceeds from this year’s Roll Call will be used under the di -1 rectiori of tho Welfare Department of , the Parent-Teachers Association. The details of organization have been completed and a 1 plans effected , for a speedy solicitation of the entire ! community. Red Cmiss off ia l state that prospects are good for a record enrollment, an . they confid .. ly expect this yea memborH::;.* to be a substantial intreas" over that of last year. A goal of fifty mem bers no keen sot for one comuiu- it;, this year. If ever; intimately th: work hat the Red Cross is carrying < no trouble in err:." mg twice that number. State May Lose Warehouse Loan 1 i The State of North Carolina stands ] I to lose 86,500 which was loaned from j the Cotton Warehouse Fund by the State Treasurer B. R. Lacy to the j Warren County Cotton Warehouse Company on account of the fa lure] | for nearly three years of the State i j Treasurer to renew a mortgage given j as security. i Judge Garland E. Midyette has i I signed a temporary order re- i straining J. E. Banzett, trustee uti- i der a later deed of trust to the Bank of Norlina covering the same land, from selling the land at auction. The deed of trust was filed ahead of the mortgage. The mortgage to the State was given on November 10, 1922 but was i not recorded until October 17, 1925. j The deed of trust given in March 1925, as security for a loan of §7,500 was recorded immediately. The State 1 contends that the deed of trust was oqj uo aSuSjaotu puoaas e su uoa:3 property. Judge Midyette cited the defend ants in the case, the Warren County ! Cotton Warehouse Company, J. G. | j Ellis and R. T. Watson, receivers for j the Bank of Norlina and J. E. Ban- I zett, trustee to appear before him in 1 Louisburg and show cause why the order should not be made permanent. The affidavit in the suit was signed bv W. F. Moody, deputy State treas urer. A bond of §250 was given by Treasurer Lacy, Commissioner of Ag riculture Graham and George Ross, chief of the division of markets. The suit was brought by Attorney General Dennis G. Brummitt. Will Issue Bonds In Sum of SIOO,OOO The paving plans for Smithfield upon which the City Fathers have; been working during the past few j months begin to take more definite i shape, and the prospect now is that! work will begin in early spring. Ihe | ! finance committee composed of Mr. j ' R. P. Holding, and J. D. Underwood,! i recommended to the town board at ' its regular session Tuesday night, the issuing of a 8100.000 worth of bonds to take care of the paving program. Their recommendation was approved The bonds will be serial bonds, and will be retired with funds collected from property owners along the streets to he paved together with one third put up by the town itself. In creased taxation for this purpose is not anticipated. Certainly this year nor next year will extra taxation be necessary, and it is thought the fund will have augmented by that time sufficiently to take care of the interest and retirement. A number of our citizens are in trested in seeing the paving get under way, and will be gratified to learn • hat details of the undertaking will probably be settled within the next /thirty days and the bonds advertised | i for sale- —Smithfield Herald.

THE RECORD WILL AWARD $2,000.00 IN PRIZES AND CASH 1926 CHRYSLER TOURING CAR, VALUE $1,120 CAMPAIGN STARTS TO PUT HOME PAPER IN HOMES 1926 CHRYSLER TOURING CAR AND CASH PRIZES TO BE OFFERED Greatest Subscription Getting Campaign Ever Con ducted in Wake County Is inaugurate; Cam paign to be Conducted on Straight-For ward Business Lines. GET IN AT THE START AND STAY TO THE END This is to be a memorable event. It is to be a Friend-Making Campaign. a In addition to the big automobile and the purses, the Zebulon Re cord is making i( possible for every man, woman, boy and girl who takes part in this distribution to be a prize winner. “Everybody Wins” is the slogan. And everybody does win. That everyone participating in this election may know in advance that “Everybody Wins” Tho Zebulon Record has set aside a sum of money to be paid in commissions. This is over and above the capital prizes. SOMETHING DIFFIiRKNT To every reader who participates and who does not win the big automobile or one of the big prizes, The Zebulon Record will pay a cash commission of twenty per cent on all subscriptions turned in during the event. That means The Zebulon Record readers who ac tively participate are guaranteed at the very least o ndollar of very five dollars received for subscriptions during the election. Did you ever hear of anything more fair? No, and no one else ever did. Today the Zebulon Record inaugurates the most stupendous “Every body Wins Something” one automobile-and-goid gift distribution. Clifts totalling over $2,000.00 including one big, handsome, speedy automobile, Chrysler Touring Car, value $1100.20 and three great bags of gold and silver (containing as high as §200) are to be dis tributed among the men and worae ,nobys and girls of Zebulon and surrounding territory. Now, why docs The Zebulon Re cord pig up 52.000 in gifts? Why! does The Record guarantee every reader who is active in this election va! lable prizi ; for his or her efforts? There arc two reasons: First, this is «. fri nd-mvl.ing elec tion. Second, only by conducting a fair and liberal election with gifts of value to everyone who participates, will it be possible for the Record to j accomplish its aim. And what is The Zebulon Record’s j aim? How can the Zebulon Record! afford to give away absolutely free, I without one cent of expense to the contestants, $2,000 ? In the election the Zebulon Record hopes to secure more subscriptions— to enlarge an already large list. To secure renewals. To make a good paper we naturally need circulation. If) this election The Record hopes to add to its great family of friends. This will be accomplished not only by the addition of new subscribers, hy the renewal of subscriptions, but by the manner in which this election is conducted. Every render who takes part in this election will, when it is over, be a living adverticcment for The Zebulon Record. That is the aim. Os course this election will not pay the Record immediately in dollars and cents. It would be unreasonable to expect that. Then why. you may a k. do you put up so much money when you know in advance that you can not get it back from the subscriptions received? And tl r* answer. There are things more valuable to! (Jet More Than Money a newspaper than money. Subscrip-1 tions are more valuabh. Subscrip tions give a newspaper prestige, pow er, and enhance the value of its ad vertising columns. The Zebulon Record is taking its ■ own medicine. It is advertising. It j is spending money to create subscrip tions —spending money to add to its I advertising patronage aid to create a greater good will. It will not pay Th" Record in dollars ted*y. Rut !ho effects of this election, the subscrib ers who will be g- ■ aed, the friends arid we (irnable b .e-’il. The Record 1 in vest ini i future, in ritory. Frankly, in the end, it will j profit The Record. Circulation Necessary Circulation is absolutely necessary! to a newspaper. But it is always an j expense. No newspaper ever made! money on its subscription list. Your; Record costs the publisher more each i year to produce and deliver to you I than you pay. However, if by the spending of. $2,000 will increase its subscriptions 1 list to the point where more advert!: -' ers will use its columns at a higher \ rate, to reach a greater number of; people then, in the years to come, th:.. $2,000 will be returned time and again to The Record. A Ba.sine.v-; Preposition It is simply a business proposition. No one loses, not even The Record I This paper will not realize too bene t • ;>.nd cash in oo ih; ;n as soon as j !do our read r who carry on with usj in this gi k distrib i&ion.

All this goes to make up the gigantic gift list to be presented its friends and renders in just r fcv. weeks. Then too, in order to insure an equitable distribution, two districts have boon made, w th special gifts set ".side for each district. Two Districts District No. 1 is all of Hint, terri tory ii.flic city limits of Zebulon. District No. 2 is all of that territory lying outside of the city limits of Zebulon. Then the next highest can didate will be awarded a s2<'o prize. Then to be more liberal and to insure equitable distribution of two purses— of $75 —are set aside to be awarded in the two districts. This will he a purse of 575 for each district. This assures that participants living far thest from the Record office will re ceive gifts of automobile and gold and silver a ; large as those living in Zeb ulon. It puts all irrespective of place or residence on even terms. It's Fair and Square Th- Zebulon Record's plan for this great gi f t distribution .s nl m'utely fair arid square.
