Don’t Miss This Wonderful
Opportunity To Win a Car
The Time to Get Your
Plans Laid and to Open
Your Active Campaign
Is Right Now.
CAMPAIGN OFFER
IS STARTLING
Why Not Cash in on This
Big Proposition?—lt Is
Worth Money to You,
and Big Money.
Although four days have elapsed
si hoi' the first announcement was
made by The Concord Tribune and
Times of the greatest campaign of its
kind,ever undertaken in this part of
the state, and in which these newspa
pers will give away SIO,OOO in auto
' mobiles and cash, the response Ims
been woefully backward. Really,
the only thing that The Tribune and
Times can do to impress the people of
this county and surrounding terri
tory with the wonderful opportunity
which they are offering is to point to
the fact that ambitious workers can,
within the next few weeks, earn dur
ing their spare time even more than
the heads of the majority of families
make in a year. Surely this should
have an appeal to the live-wire citi
zens of our circulation field.
The time to get your plans laid and
to open your active campaign is right
now, when there are scores, yes even
hundreds, of people who will be will
ing and glad to see you get started to
ward one of the beautiful and expens
ive automobiles or your share of the
$1,400 in cash which will be distrib
uted. All that it requires for success
is the personal desire to do bigger
things than are possible under the or
dinary run of every day affairs. And,
we know you must admit that this
campaign offer is so generous that it
is really startling. These publications
have SIO,OOO at stake which must go:
you have nothing but your spare
time, and this will be rewarded in di
rect proportion to what you do with
it. It is worth money to you, big
money. Why not cask in on it when
the occasion presents itself?
Remember that there are three
districts in this campaign and each
one is carrying on its own smaller
campaign within itsyjf. A candidate
in one district is not compaUnit against,
a worker iu’ another other than for
choice of ears. Each leader of a dis
trict must have one of th" automo
biles. and one of the districts is going
to receive two of them. Which die
will get this double award is up to the
district as no ears are allotted to any
certain section. Then there are three
cash prizes of S2OO and the same num
ber for SIOO. And for all workers
who do not receive one of these capi
tal prizes, there is a 10 per cent com
mission guaranteed to every active
candidate. You can not lose. There
is something here for each and every
one who actively participates.
We know that there are scores of
people who have read of tics wonder
ful offer and have, in an off-hand man
ner; thought how fine it would be to
get one of the big prizes. Hut these
have not applied it personally in a
serious way. You can win ns well as
anyone and you will do it so. It is
the ones who will act of their desires
who will drive away in their big,
powerful ears at- the end of this cam
paign. It will not be those who sit
back and merely wish that they might
win something.
Then enter your name or the name
of some favorite friend in this cam
paign right now. You can not do any
thing better for yourself than to fol
low this advice. Campaign headquar
ters is located in Room 209. Cabar
rus Savings Bank Building. It is on
the second floor. Take the elevator.
Or, if'you can not get in to the office
personally telephone 579 and a repre
sentative will call on you and start
you on the road to success.
As a means of eo-operatiug with the
candidates the management has had
printed cards which will be furnished
the workers free of charge to be mail
ed or given to prospective subscrib
ers. This was done at the suggestion
of one of the two or three active can
. didates who have made an effort at
getting started in this great oppor
\ tunity and. shows that when the mind
is once made up Concord haa people
with good ideas second to none. The
only thing that is puzzling is the
small number of responses.

WHEELER'S HISTORY
The Second Edition of 1,000 Copies
Is Practically Half Gene.
Hickory, N. C., Sept. 7. —OP)—De-
mand for copies of Colonel John
Wheeler's history of North Carolina,
long since out of print, is being met
by the John Hoyle Chapter, Daugh
ters of tlie American Revolution,
sponsored by the state organization,
through Mrs. E. L. Shufford, of
Hickory, state historian with the re
publication of 1,000 C'lpu's. which
were readily disposed of •.‘trough ad
vanee subscribers.
The second print ot 1,900 copies is
practically half gone.
Wheeler’s history of this state is
the only standard one th • state tins
possessed, it is said. It was iwritteu
by the author at his home at Beatty’s
Ford, in Catawba county, and covers
the period from 1584 to 1801. The
work is preserved in many librarie s
but for a number of years additional
Copies have not been obtainable.
At the state convention of the
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion held in Asheville in 1924, the
scarcity of copies of Wheeler’s his
tory was brought to the attention of
the women, and plans for its repro
duction were advanced by Mrs. Shu
fortl. Her proposal received the
hearty endorsement of the body.
The reprint of the original addi
tion, with 20 pages extra and a ,
foreword by Mrs. Shuford, contains
the names of state officers of the D. i
A. R. from 1919 to 1925-27; the
government of , North Carolina for
1925; and the names of the jadicinl
and administrative exeeeutive de
partments. It also embraces lists of
tlie members of the lower house of the
legislature for 1925, by counties;
senators, by districts; and the gov
ernors ofthe state from 1851 to the
. time. . ... >.
Otherwise, the book is an exasf
reproduction of Wheeler's history,
with the first and second volumes
hpund in one. It contains <l2O pages.
The book was published by Frederick
H. Hitchcock, New York.
The military and civil service
records of hundreds of Nortli Caro
lina pioneers are to be found in this
old history. In many case, the dates
of births, marriages, and deaths are
given, information to be found no- 1
where else, in some instances.
Mrs. Shuford was urged to include
in the volume historical facts which
would bring the history up to date,
from 1851 to the present time, but
her decision was to leave the history,
in the main, in its original form. The
inclusion of appropriate data con
cerning the present state government
was perhaps the only department
from her desire to reproduce the
book just as it originally appeared. ’

Caldwell, 0., Sept. 7.—Labor Day
saw no cessation of activity planned

Friederichshafen. Germnny. Sept.
s.—The report from America that
eight of the safety valves were re
moved from the dirigible Shenan
doah before the fight which ended in
her destruction is regarded at the
Zeppelin Works here as a logical ex
planation of the disaster.
It is believed that* the dirigible was
hampered in maneuvering after the
removal of so mnuy valves, as the
remaining ones could not discharge
helium gas kuickly enough when the
ship was forced suddenly to a high
altitude.
Tlie Zeppelin directors also believe
that the valves' in themselves were
too small as they were intended for
hydrogen, the specific gravity of
which is less than that of helium.

Harrison Noel. IS, son of a New York
I lawyer and formerly a college stu

asylum, was held in jail here today.
The motive for the kindapping was
ransom, but why the girl was killed
is not clear. Part of the confession
is withheld by authorities. Noel con
fessed lie also shot Raymond Pierce,
a negro taxi driver, to get an auto
mobile different from his own. and
then shot and wounded another chauf
feur who gave chase after the kidnap
ping. At first it was thought that
a negro had abducted the girl.
Grinning and with a tingle of boast -
I fulness he stood over the girl's body
in a clum of bu-shes on Preakness !

he had led the police. Noel said:
“Well, I put two bullets into her."
The body was laying face upward.
Mary's hands wore crossed on her j

the head and neck. Noel said he ,
led the girl out of the car at 2 o’clock 1

—Standpipe and Reser

Water continues to boa scarce ar
ticle in Concord. The supply, while
remaining practically unchanged at. its
source in Cold Water Creek, is still
scant and continued clear weather
gives no indication of any relief from
the shortage which the city is experi
encing.
In an effort to enlarge the supply,
one of tile artesian wells, the one at
the Water Station on Kerr street,
lias been connected to the system and j
was used for a time Saturday evening j
and night. The flow from this source
is only thirty gallons per minute
and gives only small relief from the
shortage.
The air line at the artesian well on
the Central Graded School grounds
was broken and it has not been pos
sible to connect this yet. Work has
been done on it today and it,is proba
ble that it may be used by Tuesday.
A little more water was noted in
the creek this morning, according to
Supt. 1,. A. Fisher, but he was dubious
as to any continuation of the increase
in the water, declaring that by night
it would probably be back to its orig
inal size.
Persons in the city are asked by
the water officials to conserve as much
as possible tile water during this cri
sis. Cntil heavy rains fall, there is
no prospect of any additional supply.

This is shown by figures compiled
I by the State bureau of vital statis
tics. The first six months of this
! year showed an increase of births ov
j cr the same period in 11124. and the
i comparative figures for the t\yo pe
riods show that there were fewer

of 42,030 birtrs in North Carolina
during the first half of 1024 as com

The deaths during the first six

i Deaths the first half of this year to-1
taled 16,828. a decrease over the same
period last year of 918.
Os this number of deaths—for both
periods—the bureau estimates that 3,-
000 were infants, that is babies under
one year. In other words, of the
42,030 babies born during the first
six months of 1924, 3,000 of them
are dead now.
