and Duplex Phaeton, Hudson Coach and Chevro

Offering the residents of Concord,
Cabarrus ami surrounding counties
the greatest array pf awards ever
given by a newspaper in the history
of this section, The Concord Daily
Tribune and the Concord Times to
day announce a SIO,OOO distribution
of prizes with its aim the securing
a reader in every home in the district
this publication covers.
It is a campaign of such importance
and opportunity that no person living
within miles of Concord, who has any
desire whatsoever to win a beautiful
motor car, can disregard the dazzling
galaxy of awards, comprising four
splendid enclosed automobiles, of the
most popular makes and standard
values, and a sum of gold and silver
which absolutely guarantees every
worker in the campaign a nrize—
either a car or cpsh.
-This is without question a stratling
announcement and full details of it
may be found elsewhere in this issue.
Any person of responsible age and
character, whether a reader of The
Tribune or The Times, or not now a
subscriber, may enter this competi
tion. To every interested person
•there is a special invitation to enter
at once and participate.
To participate will mean that one
will be in competition to acquire in a
few abort weeks one at four beau
tiful and popular enclosed automo
biles a Bnick Master-Six Roughen,
value $2,100.00; a Special-Six Stude
baker Duplex Phaeton, value sl,-
010.00; a Hudson Coach, value sl,-
3.15.00; and a Chevrolet Sedan with
special equipment, value $938. Sure
ly these are prizes worthy to attract
those of the highest tastes in motor
cars.
It is freely predicted that the popu
larity of The Tribune and The Times
and the liberality of this offer w;ill
make this campaign by far the most
successful in the history of newspa
pers in this part of North Carolina.
No Red Tape.
There will be no “strings” on this
campaign. Red tape lias been
abolished. The handsome motor cars,
the wonderful cash awards will be
awarded to the successful workers.
Any resident of either sex, regardless
of how long they have lived here ,is
eligible unless they are • employees of
The Tribune and The Times or belong
to the immediate families of such
employees. Correspondents living in
suburban places are not considered
employees and may become candi
dates.
Upon analyzing the offer you will
find it amazingly liberal. So much so,
in fact, that people will puzzle them
selves all through the campaign, ask
ing over and over the question, “How
can they do it?” The ease with
which even the largest awards may be
won is sure to arouse interest with
any persons bearing of the campaign
and having any desire whatever to win
a car for him jor herself.
Prizes Are of First Magnitude.
Any person outfit to be proud to
own one of the beautiful cars to be
given away. Certainly never before
and probably never again will you
have the opportunity thrust -upon you
to* win a high-value motor car through
a little spare-time effort on your part.
That you can. use any at the sums of
money offered to all other workers in
the campaign is admitted.
Cars and cash are our only prizes
and any one can use either. Every
body wins something. Application of
spare time, careful planning and dili
gent use of your ability can win the
grand capital prize of your district
for you. One of the beautiful cars
is worth several years of prudent sav
ing. Then it is worth all the spare
time you can exert. There will be
no blanks. Every active candidate
who remains to the finish is abso
lutely guaranteed to win a car or a
cash prise.
To become a candidate Is an easy
matter. To win a big prize, or the
biggest of all, is easy, too, especially
to the early starter. Make use of
your spare time and get ta car worth
having.
Elsewhere in this issue appears an
. entry blank dr “Nomination Coupon."

paign office of the Tribune and Times
. or mailed to post office box 431, will
start you in the race with 5,000 votes.

' Votes are issued in large numbers for
■ each subscription payment, whether it
■ bo from a brand-new subscriber or
i from a regular subscriber ejeteiuling
; or renewing his subscription.
The votes are valued according to
the length of the subscription. These

I No increase of votes will be made in

Opportunities Equally Big.
The location of your home makes
; no difference so far as your chances
: of winning one of the mofor cars is
. concerned. The distribution of the
I cars and cash prizes has been ar
> ranged in districts, so that candidates
i living in remote places, removed from
. Concord, can compete successfully, as
i has been proved consistently in times
• past where this method is used. Each
candidate will have an equal oppor
> tunity. This is positively guaran
l teed.
- * - Candidates living outside of Con
- cord do not/ compete with candidates
, living inside for the big cars, except
. for first choice. That is all.. A
- separate campaign is being conducted
- in each of the three districts. The
i highest candidate over all gets his or
. her choice and so on down, according
■ to the rules and regulations. A full
• set of prizes is guaranteed each dis
trict, one or two of the cars and as
. many cash prizes as there are separate
i districts. A candidate is not held
l within any bounds whatever in solicit
t Ing subscriptions. They can work
- anywhere, but their votes only com
pete against their own district. Thus
a candidate from Kannapolis, for ex
j ample, could do some work in Con
i cord, some in Kannapolis and in the
, rural sections ‘anywhere and all of
» their votes would be used to build
. their standing in their district.

e At the close a committee of judges
3 selected from the advisory board.
whose names will be published some
time during the campaign, will count
and tabulate the entirp vote totals,
and those who poll the heaviest pote
will be the ones who will glide away,
in their motor palaces—their very l
own luxurious machines. All the rest
will receive cash sums in proportion
to their vote totals, as explained in
the announcement. The judges will
make the awards. Their duty will be
to compile all the votes in the ballot
box, add them to the reserve votes
held by the candidates and the pub
lished vote in the paper at the close
of the third period, and the result will
be known. Thus, until the judges an
nounce the winner, it will be impos
sible to determine who wins the cars.
But remember “Everybody Wins
Something,” for this is our guaran
tee.
Candidates Can Help.
Persons who have never taken part
fit a voting campaign of this magni
tude have no idea of how fast the
votes accumulate. Once the start has
been made and the friends begin their
work of supporting their favorites, it
becomes a genuine task in the cam
paign department to compile all of the
votes. Vote coupons count for some,
subscriptions for a great deal, and
those who feel that they will have to
depend upon thir own efforts will be
surprised how they get help from
friends they little dreamed would as

It is not expected that the candi

TESTINEBS SEEN
IN MARY’S LETTER
Bath Negress Manages to Put Good
Deal of Force in Missive!
Kinston, Sept. 3.—Mary Johnson,
a negress of old Bath, in Beaufort
county, may have an interview with
postal authorities, it is reported, as
a result of the testiness she mani
fested in a letter to nu “in-law” up
the country. Mary’s daughter, it
appears, visited the addressee, a wom
an married to a male relation of the
Johnson women, and returning home
stated that she had been badly treat
ed. That caused Mary to wax wrathy.
The letter found its way to the hands
of local authorities and now, it is said,
is in the possession of federal offi
cials.
Whatever action the agents of the
law may take, the epistle will be
generally admitted to be one of the
most amusing on record. Mary John
son wrote:
“I have found out how come that
you treated .Todia when she was there
and if I had ben her I wotiUlnt
iiave stayed witli you to saYe your
red beaded life.”
It does not follow that the object
of her ire was read-headed, but Mary
was seeing red. Just how .Todia was ■
treated is omitted, but it is gathered
from the next paragraph that Jodia
was treated badly:
“Oh yas she told us all about how
ypu treated her. I wish to my,God
ft hadder ben mC; ’ Affot 'that "you
talked about my mother and you
called Jodia a peas of trash. Youre
a big mouthed peas of trash yourself.
You started to pour hot water on her.
I wish you had poured it on her.
I know I would shore come,there and
beat the devei out of you lots worse
than Bud Jim did. I had no idea
you would treat Jodia like you <fuU
The next time she to stay with \

I dont care what you say about me.
I know I am a well raised lady. * * *
You may as well go back home to old
lady Mary Brown yo old black short

every word I say. Come down here
and call me a peas of trash and I
make you go back so fast your back

the men took an automobile. Mr.
Fisher is of the opinion that they were
white men but whether their purpose
was robbery or murder is not clear.

on lines of safety accepted as entirely

reliance upon which nir officers had

most sanguine of the dirigible enthu
