Considering the prize list, and the fact that those active candidates who do not win one of tite big cal's or easlt |>r zes are paid 1(1 per cent, cash com mission on every dollar in subscrip tion they turn in. there should be many more candidates entered today. Tite response lias been pitifu). Every Prize Awarded. The big automobiles and all the thopsnnds of dollars in gold and silver must he given away just as announc ed. But it would seem that more peo ple. who are just as live as other peo ple in other communities, jus as wide awake, certainly just as intelligent, would realize the opportunity for profit before it is too late. What is the matter? "It's the times." says one man. No it is not the times. Conditions are as they are and they are the same for everyone. The SIO,OOO in cars and cash will positively be given away. It makes no difference what the times are. The "times" do not win for you. Votes aud votes alone will win for you.

Massey in Answer to Question Regarding Domestic Relations Says “It’s a Lie." Tom Bost in Greensboro News. Raleigh, Sept. IS.—“That's a damn ed lie." snapped W. P. Massey, for mer surveyor of Wake county, this af ternoon yhen Solicitor W. F. Evans, who was cross examining him as a witness for two young defendants, asked the high spirited farmer an im peaching question about his own treat ment of his wife. Tite farmer was in mood for any fate. He more than snapped his re ply to the solicitor; he poured out his j contempt for that style of imputation. Judge Garland A. Midyette repri | mamted the witness aud told him that the courts could not allow that kii.J |of conduct. The very next question j of the solicitor relating to the farm j era domestic life was met with “That's [ another lie." j At th : s juncture the representative j of the peace and dignity of the state | rose and asked Judge Midyette to re -1 tire the jury. The judge again repri manded the- former surveyor who was in a rage but was holding himself down pretty well. "You can send me to jail,” said Mr. Mase.v. "I would rather lie in there than to he insult ed this way. " Mr. Evans got the jury out and advised tlie court that never before had the solicitor been called a damned liar. .Tosiali Bailey, who was appearing for the defendants. Bud Fowler amt Russell Wat Iters, charged with assault with deadly weapons, observed that the defense witness had not called the solicitor a damned liar, but had branded the im peachment of the solicitor as such. ‘And the solicitor is bound by his an swer." Mr. Bailey said. It was pret ty hard lines for the prosecuting offi cer who proved with such vehemence and by a hostile witness, the furious falsity of the accusation. Judge Midyette took the defense's view that the attack of Mr. Massey was not on Solicitor Evans. "I re gard the incident as very unfortunate, hut I do not think it was personal to tite solicitor." Judge Midyette said. The court likewise expressed the opin ion that Solicitor Evans was within iiis rights ill asking that sort of ques tion. Mr. Evans declared that he asked it in good faith and on repre sentations of the neighbors. But farmer Massey harn't taken it back when court quit for the evening.

Certified Accountant Says the Gov ernor Seems Uncertain as to What He Wants. < Raleigh, Sept. IS.—Sharp and plen ary explanation of why the state pris on rejtort has been delayed was made tonight by Ralph Steel, of the firm of ; < Goodenough, Steel and Godord, corfi- ( tied public accountants, employed GO days ago by the state auditor to make ; tlie audit. ( The report has been promised for some time but has been held up somewhere along the line. There is disclosed almost an open break between Governor McLean and Auditor Baxter Durham. Mr. Steele said: ‘’The governor seems uncertain ns to what he wants. When we submit ten an audit, in August, the budget bureau, which we understood to be an agency of the governor, called for cer tain additional information, concern ing a six-months period and a three year. seven month period. We regret that we have been drawn ; nto the mat ter. We object to being a target in a war between the governor and the state auditor. “The state auditor wants an audit which will tie in with his own report, which we now understand is to be on a cash receipts and disbursements basis. In our opinion such an audit does not properly state the financial condition of the state's prison. As any business man knows, records of cash received and cash disbursed alone do not reflect profits or losses. “We will return the audit within the next week or ten days. We have other engagements which already have been deferred because of the many de mands for information concerning the state prison accounts. We shall prob ably give the state auditor what he requires. If there is available time we shall also give to the budget bu reau all the information it desires.” Mr. Steele, in answer to a question, stated that the state prison tiiis year has about 2.000 more acres in cotton than ever before and that a big crop not harvested and sold represents as sets that a cash receipt and disburse ment report would not show.
