In checking over Hie short lint of
people who have so far entered as can
didate* in The Tribune-Times $(0,000
automobile campaign, it has been no
ticed by the campaign management
that there are whole sections of the
city of Concord and the connty of Ca

a anyone who is working toward one of
■ the magnificent prices which will be
awarded at the end of a few weeks.
When we say sections, we mean for
blocks and blocks in Concord and for
miles and miles outside in the coun
ty- . *
Now please stop and read with ns
a minute or two. Do you know that
one-third of the total prise list after
the first choice of automobile* baa
been awarded, must go to each one
of the three districts? Do you re
l alise that they must be awarded if
a there are just enough workers to re
ceive Them? Do you appreciate the
fact that right now there would be
no one to claim the S2OO and SIOO
cash prises in a case or two if the
campaign were to end now? Surely
there must be a live wire here and
there who can see what this oppor
tunity can really mean for the one
who will step in and take advantage
of such a situation while It exists.
Come, people of Concord and Ca
barrus county! Don't put your wish

.150,000 Farms Equipped With Radio
Washington. D. C., Sept. 10.—OP)
—More than 550.000 farms in the
United States are mow equiped with
radio, the Deportment of Agriculture
estimates, following n nation-wide
survey through county agricultural
agents.
A similar survey last year showed
305,000 farms. This rapid increase
ini the use of radio by farmers is
due, department officials declare, to
the need for prompt market informa
tion in merchandising farm pro
duct»,tbe educational value of the
radio, and to its entertainment fea
tures. Many county agents .reported
that farmera have installed radio
sets primarily to receive weather and
market reports.
Southern farmers have been slow
to put in radio sets, the survey
shows. This is nrloarjted for by the
department by “natural conditions
which hamper clear broadcasting and
r wept ion.”

NORTH CAROLINA LEADS j
SOUTH IN FEDERAL TAX \
Is Ahead of AH States in the Union \
With Exception of Four.—Shows ,
Substantial Increase. ,
Washington. Sept. 15.—An inter- |
nal revenue bureau report on tax
collections today shows that four i
states paid more taxes in 1025 than 1
they did in 1924, and three of them I
are in the south. Florida paid 32 ]
per cent, more, and North Carolina 1
and Virginia, each, six per cent. more. 1
Utah paid one per cent. more.
This shows what these state* are *
doing in a business way. With the *
new tax law, reducing levies, in es- 1
feet, these four Btates go beyond their 1
totals for last year. North Caro- 1
lina’tr totals for the two yenrs were: *
1024, $157,073,303.05, and 1025, ‘
$100,062,875.15.
The taxe* for 1025 for North Caro- J
Una were divided as follows: In- ,
comes, $15,877,640.25, and misoellon- -
eons, $151,085,228.90.
North Carolina leads all states ex- |
cept New York, Illinois, Pennsyl- |
vania and Michigan. She has out- i
stripped Massachusetts and Ohio. She i
is far ahead of any other state in the i
South. Texas, nearest to her, pays
but $35,000,000.
Hoey Was Influenced By Rev. Mr. i
Ormond’s Appeal.
Shelby, Sept. 15.—Clyde R. Hoey. i
of this place, former congressman
from the ninth district and one of '
the State’s leading lawyers, this as- i
ternoon confirmed the report , that he
would assist in the prosecution of W.
B. Dole, wealthy Rockingham manu- i
facturer, who is charged with the slay
ing of W. W. Ormond, exservice man.
Mr. Hoey was employed, he says, by
former friends of young Ormond, at i
Maxton and by Rev. Mr. Ormond,
father of the youth. Friends of the
Ormond family at Maxton have for
some time been seeking the services
of the former congressman in the case,
but it wasn’t until Rev. Mr. Ormond
made the- request that be would like
to have Mr. Hoey prosecute his son’s
slayer that Mr. Hoey accepted. Mr.
Hoey is a prominent Methodist 1
churchman and was known to the i
Methodist minister through his Bible
class Work.
The entrance into the ease of Mr.
Hoey, known in congress as the “sil
ver tongue of the jSouth,” will add
mere interest to the already state
wide interest in the case and definite
ly assures those who desire an able
prosecution just what they desire.
Rated as Western Carolina’s best
criminal lawyer Hr. Hoey is not only
gifted in oratory but a matter of
cross examination and tUta on legal
technicalities.
Mr. Hoey in confirming the report
that his services had been engaged,
stated that he would meet with So
licitor Phillips and other prosecuting
counsel in Raleigh Monday or Tues
day for * conference and to outline
definite plans for -the prosecution.

were probably fit the postoffice at the
time.
According to Burgess, he was
alone in the office dispatching some
late rnnil. Four men came in the
back door, well masked. Two of them
pounced upon him and pulled a
heavy apron, which lie wore during
working hours, over his head.
The clerk offered combat and man
aged to draw- a gun. In the struggle
that ensued the robbers got the gum
and shot him through the abdomen
at elose rage'.-While two of the men

Davidson Football Schedule.
Dnvidson, N. C., Sept. 15. —UP)—
The 1026 baseball schedule of David
son College is now in the waxing
here, with Will T. Spencer, of Gas
tonia, student manager, booking ex
hibitions with the leading colleges
and universities of North and South
Carolina and Virginia. The David
son-Duke and Davidson-Carolina
games may be played at Gastonia,
next spring, the Davidson manager
says.
The biggest change noted in the
early workout, under the direction of
Coaches Monk Young and Tex Til
son, of the 1925 football squad of
the College is the shifting of Tom
(Brassy) Baker, 150-pound Wild
cat football star from his all-state
tackle position to a guard.
Baker was needed, it was felt, to
fill the hole left by Captain-elect
Ralph Boggs, who was unable to re

Mayor of New York City
Badly Beaten in Demo

That Uity Tuesday. ,
WHOLE TAMMANY
TICKET WON OUT
Waterman Had an Easy
Time With Rivals for J
Nomination on the Re
publican Ticket.
New York, Sept. 16.—Senator
•Tamos Walker, backed by Tammany
Hall and Gov. Smith has won a de
cisive victory over Mayor John F.
Hylan. supported by William R.
Hearst for the democratic mayorality
nomination. j
Repudiated as inefficient' and as a .
“puppett” by Tammany which had j
elected him twice for four-year' terms, j
Hylan went down by approximately >
100.000 voteo in the primary yester- £
day. Walker's load stood at '92.095
with 131 districts to be heard from
out cf 2.968. The vote was: Walker ,
239,213; Hylan 147,117.
Frank D. Waterman, fountain pen i
manufacturer and organization eandi- r
date, captured the republican nomina- j
tion for mayor with case over two (
rivals, John J. Lyons and William
M. Bennett. Waterman was leading j
his nearest competitor by 92,467 votes. t
The vote was: Waterman 108,887; f
John .T. Lyons 15.720; William M.
Bennett 4.174. There were 144 dis- j
tricts missing. ,
Tammany's jubilance this morning ,
was tempered with concern as to ]
whether Hylan will run independent- ,
ly. The mayor ignored demands of ,
Walker that he agree to support the
winners and retired without comment ]
on the results. (
The democratic vote was 67 per ,
cent, of the total registered. . |
Hylan's opponent charged in the >
primary campaign that the question ,
of his running independently in the
election on November 3rd would be (
determined by the margin of his de
feat.
The New York World says that ]
Hylan with the publisher’s backing
will seek re-election at the head of an
independent ticket. The remainder of
the Hylan city ticket, the newspaper <
says, will be new. John H. |
lirookly a leads', !>£_-Qia three. J
county ledders who suported the may- ]
or, said today his organization would j
support Walker. With an independent ]
Democratic ticket in the field republi- 1
cans would hold hopes of electing I
Waterman. i
The whole Tambiany Hall ticket i
scored a clean sweep. Their mayor 1
lost even his home borough in
Brooklyn, where McCooey supported 1
him. He carried the boroughs of i
Richmond (Staten Island) and the 1
vote of Queens (Long Island). Wal
ker ran up big leads in Manhattan <
and the Bronx. Democrats and re- 1
publicans alike said in speeches that >
the Democratic primary was really a •'
fight between Governor Smith and Mr.
Hearst. with potentialities as to the *
next Democratic national convention. 1
