Men Open Newly Made Orave But
Kind That It Is Empty.
Danville, Vn.. Sept. 2(l.—Discovery
of a well formed grave in a seques
tered nook not far from the Martins
ville road by squirrel hunters re
sulted yesterday in the grave being
opened for the purpose of seeing
what it contained. The diggers went
some distance but found no trace of
a corpse nor any other buried body
nor material. Inquiry developed the
fact that last May two farmers came
upon the grave and they too dug in
to it and discovered nothing. After
their futile investigation they re
placed the grave and it had a com
paratively new api>earanee when the
huntsmen found it. Nobody has been
able to learn how the mound first ap
peared as there is no burial place
and the grave was in a point diffi
cult of access.

if she , uttered a sound he would
shoot.
The baby, asleep in n crib near
his mother's bed, was awakened and

The Concord Daily Tribune
The Names of Nominees
Appears Today in Our Big
Subscription Campaign
The Nominations Are Not
Yet Closed and There Is
Yet Time for You to En
! ter Your Name.
nomiationTs
ONLY FIRST STEP
The Vote Count of Each
Contestant Entered in
j the Campaign Will. Be
Made Tomorrow.
r—
i Today it appears—the first list of
j nominations. Xnmes of nominees
received up till !) o'clock Saturday
night together with their donnmina
! tion vote of 5,000 is printed today for
candidates entered in The Concord
Tribune-Times great “Everybody Wins
Something" four-automobile and cash
prize campaign.
Nominations are not closed. In
fact, today there are more prizes than
there are active candidates. Oppor
tunity without a handicap is here to
day for new entries Who will “carry
on.”
This small list, published today
must not be misunderstood. The
names printed, are just nominations.
The list only serves to show who is
entered. It does not indicate tHe
LIVE. ACTIVE candidates.
Some who have jieen nominated
j have failed, so far, to turn in one
single, solitary subscription to T.te
Tribune or The Times. Some have
not even called to get an official re
ceipt book. Those are. so far. can
didates in name only, nothing more.
Subscriptions Will Win.
Candidates who will not produce
subscriptions can not hope to win.
The more subscriptions you can pro
duce the more votes you earn. The
free coupons appearing in The Trib
une and Times from day to day are
valuable only in the degree in which
you enhance your vote score by sub
scriptions. There is absolutely no
hope in coupons alone.
Coupons are printed, primarily to
stimulate interest. Os course t'hey
do have value, but it is questionable
when one considers that one subscrip
tion alone offsets a whole bundle of
coupons. '
Nominations But Start.
Simple nomination of a candidate
does not mean anything. The nom
ination is but the first step, the
starting point. Any one content to
rest after nomination can not get far
in his election. Active work, hon
est effort, constant attention to the
business in hand, and that alone can
get votes. Aud votes win. and sub
scriptions mean votes.
With so few candidates entered,
and so many of those yot*get, at least,
manifesting any LIFE or ACTIVITY,
the opportunity is here for some live
ones to enter and “carry on" to win.
In fact, the more candidates en
tered the less votes it will take to
win.
If two candidates are running for
office they must have all the votes
between them. The winner must
have a majority—over half—of all the
votes cast. But if five candidates
seek the same office the winner only
needs to have more vote than the next
higher candidate.
Then too, in this campaign, “ev
erybody wins something.” There is
the new Buiek Brougham, the new
Studebaker Phaeton, the new Hudson
Coach, the new Chevrolet Sedan.
There are purses of gold and silver
totalling hundreds of dollars. And
remember too, the cash commission of
10 per cent, paid all active non-win
ning participants. In an election
for office, but one candidate wins. In
Tiie Tribune and Times election “ev
erybody wins"—YOU IVIN.
To Contestants.
The vote count of each contestant
entered in the campaign will be made
public tomorrow. There are con
taptants entered who so f«r have
failed to make a single report, and
this will give those contestants an
opportunity to get in their count for
Tuesday's issue. All subscriptions
should be turned into campaign head
quarters by tonight to appear in that
count.
Any contestant who has entered
tiie race and the name does not ap
pear in the list of candidates kindly
notify the Campaign Department im
mediately. Phone 579.

ASK POSTAGE STAMP
WITH WILSON’S IMAGE
I Woodrow Wilson Foundation Makes
Request—New Favors Granting It
I “In Due Course.”
! Washington. Sept. 21.—The Wood
i row Wilson Foundation has asked
Postmaster General New to issue a
Woodrow Wilson jmstage stamp in
December. Norma a H* Davis of New
York made the projjosal.
Mr. New said that “such an iwue
would be entirely proper” and he had
“no doubt it will follow in due
course,” but the time since the
death of Mr. Wilson was rather short
if precedents were to be followed.
“The issuance of the Harding me
morial stamp was obviously proper, as
he died in office.” Mr. New wrote to
Mr. Davis. “The issue of the second
Ilarding stamp was made almost
compulsory by the act of February
28, 1025, which creates an immediate
demand for all-2 cent stamp.”
Mr. New said that he had caused
the records to be examined “to see
jii'd what has been done in the past
with reference to the adoption of the
portrait of an individual.” He con-
I tinned.
“I find, for example, that in the
case of former President Cleveland,
who died in 11)08. (nothing was issued
until this present administration is
sued on March 20, 1028, or fifteen
years after his death, a stamp bear
ing his likeness. In the case of Grant,
five years elapsed; in that of Hayes,
twenty-nine years; in those of Mc-
Kinley and Roosevelt, three >»nrs
each before stamps bearing their
likenesses were issued.
“I have no doubt that within a
reasonable time the memory of Mr. I
Wilson will be duty hoornl. as I
think it very properly should be.”
WOULD MARK THOSE
WHO GIVE BAD CHECKS
Secretary' Leonard Also Would Pun
ish Merchants Who Accept Them. ;
Thinks Law All Right.
Statesville, Sept. 20. “There
j should bo some way of marking men
and women who give worthless
checks, and then the merchant or
other bupiinees man who accepts
checks from tho*>e who are marked j
should be punished with them,” de- i
dared J. I*Blll Leonard; executive
secretary of the North Carolina Mer- j
chants association aud editor ot the \
Carolina Retailer, in an editorial ap- |
pearing in the September number of j
the Retailer in which ho discusses!
the constitutionality of the new bad
check law, to be decided by the Su
preme court.
Mr. Leonard says that the check
law is effective and has greatly re
duced the merchants' losses in bad
checks in those cities and communi
ties where there is sufficient public I
sentiment against the giving of
worthless checks, and where mer
chants have the nerve to bring in
dictment, and officers and courts have
the erve to enforce the law.
“If bankers and court officials
continue to express publicly their
opinion that the law is unconstitu
tional. it is natural for the scamps
who give worthless checks to feel .
they have a free hand. All the e
seem to forget that the old check
law has never been repealed, and
the new law is still in fore until it is
declred unconstitutional or repealed,’*
remarked Mr. Leonard last, night.

CHRISTIANITY r»
HOPE OF COUNTRY
Says Already Teaching of
Christianity Has Had a
Great Effect in Changing
Bad Japanese Customs.
Definite* assertion that Japan is
not preparing for war with fht United
States was made in the course of a
sermon yesterday by Dr. Z. Hinohara,
pastor of the Methodist Church in
Kobe, Japan, and teacher in the
I* vesanie Seminary there. Admit
ting that during the World War ihe
militaristic and jingoistic elements
were in control in Japan and sought
every means of preparing for war.
Dr. Hinohara declared there has been
a decided change in his country and ,
that Christianity is responsible to a i
great degree for the change.
“We are told in an article in the
Saturday Evening Post that Japan is
making airplanes at. the rate of 500
a month." the Japanese professor con
tinued, “the airplanes being part of
Japan's equipment. T do not be
lieve the planes arc being built and
J am certain if they were the author
of the article would not know it.
He speaks of seeing the planes being
made, yet I am certain if Japan was
preparing secretly for war with the
United States strangers could not get
admission into plants in which war
materials were being manufactured.’’ j
Dr. Hinohara pointed out further in j
backing his argument, that Japanese j
people pay huge royalties for foreign |
cars because they cannot manufac
ture engines. “If we could manufac
ture 500 airplanes a month, certain
ly it seems that we could make a
good automobile," he said.
“I admit a few years ago the mili
taristic leaders and the jingeists were
in control but there has been a change,
brought on by the teaching of Chris
tianity in Japan." the speaker said.
“A few years ago children sought
swords, guns, miniature battleships
and similar toys. Now they are
choosing other playthings, according ;
to a statement made to me by a prom- j
inent. manufacturer of Japan. This
shows the change in eentimept. Just j
before, during and just after the ,
World War many of us who preached j
peace were said to be unpatriotic, j
, Our people had been taught differ- \
1 cutty. They were unwilling to be
lieve there was any way to get peace
except through war. Now they are
seeing in adiffereut light, and Japan
is not preparing for war.”
More Christian teachers are needed
in Japan, Dr. Hinohara said, to show
j the people the folly of spending huge
sums for the army and navy while
I children lack school facilities. “Our
people are taxed so heavily for army
and navy that we must do without
schools, and some people must do
without real necessities. I plead!
for a Christianity that will show the,
people, especially the leaders of the
| people, the folly of such a program.” j
I Dr. Hinohara said it was the duty
|of Christian America to take pains
I to send its message cf light to the j
east, adding that “the more Japanese
| there are converted the closer will
I be the friendship between the two
nations. Christianity draws nations
together as it draws individuals. It

them anxious to aid one another, and
after all there can be no Christanity
i without a desire for co-operation and
i friendship. Ido not want an isolat
! ed Christanity, either between nations
or individuals.

Davidson. Sept. 10. —Elon’s hopes -
for an initial victory over the Wild
cats went smashing so ranother year '
when the Davidson eleven tore
through the Christians for a 34 to 0
victory today. The game, played un- ::
dot- a broiling sun that would have
j set heavier squads to the showers, was
! the first of the 1025 football season
i in North Carolina. Although the :
[ Wildcats had been predicted as file
j winner of the initial fray, the Elon
■ team had been played up as Elon’s
! best bet against Davidson and the ter
rific pounding that Coach Younger's
machine handed the visitors was lit- ;
tie expected,
Davidson paid dearly for the vie- ?
tory. Nick Sappenfield, brilliant i
quarter of last season, broke bis leg
after he had twisted through the Elon
line, the break coming as he was
tackled and fell. Sappenfield had his
team going at a fact pace and was
just entering the sacred ten yard gone
for the third time when the accident
occurred. The loss of Sappenfield is
a great one.

the speaker said that many of the
outstanding leaders in every-da.v life
in Japan today are Christians, and
j they are exerting a tremendous itiflu

"The greatest benefit we have had
: from Christanity 1 think, however,
is its influence on our people for
j peace, and more and more the peo
ple are becoming convinced that we
I do not need great armies and navies,”
: said Dr. Hinohara.
He pleaded with his hearers to
work at home for peace and for peace
the world over. "Do your part to
I keep great armies and navies from
being planned in other nations and
we will not need them,” he said.
“Then we will have more money for
schools and necessities.”
He said he hoped Christians the
' world over would strive to show his
people, by their action, that friend-.:
