If Yod Are Not In The Big
Subscription Campaign
Better Get In Right Now
But Little Progress Has
Been Made So Far by
Some Contestants Who
Have Entered Names.
BIGGER VOTE
OFFER ON NOW
How Could You Spend
Your Time More Profit
able Than in Working
In This Campaign?
It is indeed puzzling to the cam
paign management why so little prog
ress) has been made by some contest
ants, who have signified their desire
to enter and compete for Hie many
fine prizes offered by The Concord
Tribune and Times by bringing in
their nomination blanks and accept-
A ing their receipt book.
1 Although the campaign department
has several nominations entered, but
few have shown their desire to win
by turning in subscriptions. The time
to secure your votes is now, while each
subscription counts for so many more
votes and also while the field is not
being worked by so many contestants.
The campaign department would in
deed appreciate it very mui* if those
who have not reported and who really
intend to be active would signify
their intensions by reporting at cam
paign headquarters at their first op
portunity.
The names of those nominated will
be published within a few days and
it in to the interest of all those who
intend being active to have as high
a vote standing as possible. The
higher your name is in the vote count,
the more your friends will help you.
Let's get busy at once and show our
friends that we mean business.
Surely there should be as many ac
tive contestants as there are prizes.
Surely the prizes are big enough to
interest any of us. Taking all things
into consideration, there are several
live wires in Concord and vicinity who
arc missing the opportunity of a life
time.
Just remember this one thing—all
them* prizes will be awarded and (hat

first- all-important period. There Wttt
be absolutely no big vote at any time
during the life of the campaign other
than outlined in the beginning.
How could anyone attend his time
more profitably than in securing sub
scriptions among his friends to The
Tribune or Times, with a guarantee
of at least 10 tier cent, of every dollar
he collects in subscriptions and at the
same time accumulating an enormous
vote total toward these fine new motor
cars to be awarded the hustlers in a
very few weeks.
Not only do contestants have fore
most papers, but ones which contain
the full Associated' Press news serv
ice, embracing both national and in
ternational news as well as all local
happeilings. The Tribune and Times
also contain truthful editorial com
ments on all questions of the day,
which are of great interest to all read
ers.
It is only necessary to read one is
sue of these up-to-the-minute papers
to realize that their aim and ambi
tion is to serve the people of Concord
and vicinity in the most able manner
possible.
Whjle it is true that the two pa
pers already enjoy a large circulation,
nevertheless this docs not satisfy them,
nor will they be so until they reach
each and every home in this section
with their messages of progress and
stories of opportuuites, yet untouched
or undeveloped. '
Sruely it is a duty each citizen
owes his family and himself to keep
abreast of news and tidings which
The Tribune and Times send forth.
We can readily understand why
contestants might have difficulty in
i selling subscriptions to less popular
papers, but we cannot understand
why anyone would not consider it an
honor and a privilege to boost and sell
subscriptions to a paper that is at
all times ready and anxious to boost
the conditions of the community of
which Concord is the hub.

VETERANS RECALL SCENES
MARKING END OF CIVIL WAR
Soldiers Gave Vent to Their Rejoic
ing in Prolonged Bedlams.
Spokane, Wash., Sept. 11.—I/P)—
Scenes akin to those that tparked
the beginning of the armistice' that
endedMhe World War were enacted
at the surrender of General Robert
E. Lee at the dose of the Civil War,
George N. Stormee of this city, who
witnessed Lee's surrender, declared
recently.
“My, what a, rejoicing there was
when news enme that the ‘Johnnies'
had enough and that, the war was
over,” he Naid. “There was just one
big, prolonged bedlam. Everyone was
shouting and yelling at the top of
his voice, hugging each other, clap
ping each other on the back, stinking
hands, throwing cape, coffee cups
canteens, onl muskets, anything at
all that was movable, up in the air
or at each other, just so they could
give vent, to the world of emotion
that had been pent up within them
during four long years of harosnip
and sorrow.”
The actual surrender, Mr. Stormes
-aid, did not take place at Appomat
tox Court. House, but at Clover Hill,
about three miles away. However, he
declared, it did not actually euu the
hostilities in that locality.
“A short time after Lee had sur
rendered, 1 was one of a detail of
soldiers whit* was sent to» dig up
some 137 graves that the Confed
erates had made near the court
house.” he said. “In those graves we
found 1&7 Confederate cannon, and
not one of those guns was spiked."
Air. Htormes served in the 124th
New York regiment.

MOORESVILLE PREPARES
FOR MEETING OF SYNOD
One of Largest Bodies in Ule Whole
Presbyterian Church Meets There
Next October.
Mooresville. Sept. 10.—Rev. R. A.
White, D. D., pastor of the First
Presbyterian church, furnishes the
following information concerning the
meeting of the Synod of North Caro
lines :
The Synod of North Carolina will
meet in the First. Presbyterian
church, Aloorcsviile, October 13. This
is one of the largest bodies in whole
Southern Presbyterian church. Along
with the Synod of Virginia it is a
larger body even than the general
assembly, though as a rule not one
half of the possible representation at
tends. The territory covered is the
whole of the state east of the moun
tains. Some years ago thd mountain
section was cut off to enter the new
Synod of Appalachia.
The representatives are * composed
of all the ministers and an elder from
each church. There are 292 ministers,
530 churches and more than 73,000
members. Thus the possible represen
tation is 822, but no lnecting has
ever been attended by as many as
400; about 300 is the average. It will
probably go over that hero because
we are in the center of a large Pres
byterian population.

MYSTERIOUS ATTACK
REPORTED IN WAYNE
Woman’s Screams and Pool of Blood
Suggest Commission of Horrible
Crime.
Goldsboro. Sept. 10.—A woman’s
screams, the declaration of an eastern
Wayne county man that he saw a;
man throw the apparently unresist
ing form of a woman into an auto- j
mobile, and the finding of a pool of
blood at the place where the automo
bile was standing have led to the be
lief that a murderous attack was made
and possibly even murder committed
in the country near here early this
morning.
The man who saw the form of a
woman thrown into a car was James
Tyndall, residing a few miles east
of here. He hurried up to the place
and found there a pool of blood, a
wrench and a blood-stained pocket
book. Other blood stains were found
in the vicinity. Word also came that
a woman’s screams were heard at La
Grange.
County officers are working on the
mystery but have not been able as
yet to arrive at any definite explana
tion of the unusual happenings.

was_ to tile five airmen : "Tile whole
navy is rejoicing. Your - families nre
notified."
The other was addressed to the sub

the case in which an unknown white
man yesterday morning entered the
room of a (leaf and dumb woman in
East Durham and attempted to
criminally assault her.
The victim of the attack told the
police that she was awakened when
she felt the intruder's hands on tier
body. He then grasped her around
the throat and attempted the as
sault. Her efforts to attract atten

the room, scaring the marauder off.
The man was in his bare feet and
gained entrance through one of the
rear doors of the building.

Periods.
Greensboro, Sept. 10.—On account

Archer stated that the cut in time
is more or less indefinite—until it
rains to clear the air and perhaps
