Does It Mean That You

That Will Give You One
* of the Cars?
CLOSE OF FIRST
PERIOD IS NEAR
Candidates Are Putting
Forth Their Supreme Ef
forts to Win the Leader
ship in the Race.
Tup]vp o'clcok. a wcok from next
Monday—What dops that hour hold!
for you?
Dopk it moan you will have a vote
lead in The Tribune-Times SIO,OOO
Rift distribution? Does it mean yon
will have a lead that will hold anti
will allow you to i-hoove your own gift
from the list of bi, handsome, luxu
rious afttomohiles and purses of gold
and silver?
- It is tip to you. Yon ran, by put
ting forth your best efforts, “cinch"
t'.ie gift of your choice.
With the close of the first period I
right at hand, vote getting is now a!- j
most a matter of hours. Candidates!
are putting forth their supreme efforts
to .win the leadership in the race for |
the grand prizes.
Leaders’ Margin Small.
Candidates who have been slightly '
down in the vote score are "elbow- i
ing themselves closer and closer to |
the top. This is apparently making
the ones who had a few more votes
to their credit realize that flieir mar
gin of leadership is very narrow and
that it is anybody's race for the big
prize.
Today it is unwise to take any
thing for granted. Candidates must
guard against overconfidence. Don't
get into a state of mind where you
can sit back and wait for the others
to catch up. Y'ou know the story of
the turtle and the rabbit.
Be Up and Doing.
Not until tfte election -is over and
the gifts are distributed will the real
winners be known. Cntil that time
every candidate should be up and do
ing. Don't overlook an opportunity to
increase your vote score. In fact,
make your own opportunity.
Speaking of opjiortunity—it is here
now. All this coming week andjintil
1- o'clock Monday. (Ictober lllth, are
tlie days when you can establish your
self, wli*n yflu can pile up a rote'
wore that will stand the test. It can
be done. You can do it.
One thing that it is important for
contestants to bear in mind is the
value of second payments on subscrip
tions. In some cases it will be found
that subscribers will be willing to ex.
tend their subscriptions for a second
and even a third time during the
campaign. These extensions do not I
have to be taken by the same candi
date each time but will count, for]
anyone who gets them. This kind j
of business carries extension votes
according to the vote schedule of the
period during which the second sub
scription is turned in. Extension
votes are figured on the difference be
tween the vote schedule for the time
the first one is written and for the
combined time of the two subscrip
tions. Be sure and get all these]
that you can in the first period, or
that is, before midnight of Monday.
October 10th.
Yes, there is unlimited room and
genuine opportunity for new candi
dates in this election. Between now
and the end of the first period any
newpomer can lay the foundation of
votes to win any of the big automo
biles.

I been found necessary to go to that
length in the case, it is indicated at
tiic department that Col. Mitchell will
be required to stay in Washington
and subject to orders of the Inspector
general of the Army npntil the inves

|S<¥ STANLY SCPREVISOR
CAt'SED CONVICT’S DEATH
Charges Against Supervisor Cranford
Made by State Welfare Depart
ment.
Buckingham, Oct. 8. —Charges that
Cranford, supervisor of the Stanly
county convict camp, tied a prisoner
to an automobile truck and dragged
him to death are made in a report
by the State Board of Charities and
! Public Welfare which lias been re
ceived by Judge I*. A. MeElroy and
Solieitor Don Phillips here they
stated today. k
“All kinds of cruelty and irregu
larities are charged in the report."
Solieitor Phillips said. He stated
that he will institute an investigation
on the report “looking to the indlct
! ment of Cranford as soon as possible."
| He stated, however, that lie would be
I unable to do anything until Novem
ber 23rd when the next criminal term
of the Stanly County Superior Court
convenes.
An investigation will be made by
him before that time, he said, and
a bill of indictment against Cranford
will be sent to the grand jury at the
November term if the charges in the
report appear to be correct.
“They are charging him with all
kinds of things.” stated Judge Me-
Elroy. “They said lie tied a man j
to the back end of a truck and dragged
him until he died."
Judge McElory did not have a copy
of the report with him and Solicitor
Phillips stated that he would not
make the report public until after he
had investigated she charges.
The report was sent to the judge
and solicitor by Mrs. Kate Burr
Johnson, state commissioner of char
ities and public welfare. It is un
derstood to bave been based on the
findings of J. E. Whitley, prison camp
inspector recently jointly employed by
the State board of health and the
State board of charities and public
i welfare.
! It was stated here that the State
board of charities have also trans
mitted the report to the Stanly coun
ty commissioners with a view to the
removal of Cranford as prison camp
superintendent. Stanly county at the
present time maintains one prison
camp, it is understood.

Speak to the Jury.
It'chinoiid County Courthouse,
Rockingham. Oct, 9.—OP)—W. B.
('ole pleaded “toe nail insnmty” in his
defense for killing W. W. Ormond,
Harold Cooley said today, charging
that the plea "is a fraud against pub
lie justice."
The Nashville lawyer, the first to
address the jury for she State today,
reforued to evidence that Cole was suf
fering from ingrowing toe nail on
the day he killed the former sweet
heart of his 24-year-old daughter.
Elizabeth.
James A.-Lockhart will follow for
the defense. Larry Moore, of New
Bern, A. L. Brooks, of Greensboro,
and Solicitor Don Phillips were to be
heard before the court delivers I;is
charge to the jury.
History, the Bible and tales i,t
j American bravery in war today, won
i taken before the jury in whose bauds
will soon rest the case of W. I?. Cole.
The wealthy cotton manufacturer,
charged with the murder of W. W.
Ormond, heard James A. Lockhart tell
the jury that Andrew Jackson killed
two men for slandering his wife
“And yet you would condemn n
man for being forced to kill a man
who had slandered his daughter.**
“Jackson, a native of North Caro
lina. never said lie was sorry. The
prosecution has charged that a decent
man would not kill and not regret.
"The people thought him decent
enough to elect him President for
eight years and take his advice in the
election of another. He killed two
men and said-lie was not sorry,
i "H you convict Cole you ought -o
go back to Union county and change
the name of Jackson township:"
Later in the argument Lockhart
said lie did not intend to argue about
"the electric chair.” "I know you
will not send Cole there."

the Southern Exposition that Florida
( has taken (*.OOO square feet of space
! on the second floor adjoining space,
j that is being ’held for Alabama. The
j reservation was made by A. A. Conit.,
i general secretary rs the Florida State
Chamber of Commerce. The state
will make a comprehensive exhibit of
i all her resources. Active work is
j going on in other southern states to
j wards making displays in the Grand
j Central Palace.
; Last year three railroads took part,
' Seaboard Ait* Line, Southern Pacific
and Georgia & Florida. Two of
j these railroads have doubled their
! space for file next exposition. In
| addition to these the Missouri Pacific,
! Illinois Central and Central of Geor
! gia have recently made reservations.
: Other well known trunk lines and
; steamship companies are expected’"to
I come in.
The second exposition September
27th to October Gth, 1920, will be
much larger and more representative
than the first. Fifteen states are in
vited to take part as follows: Mary-1
land. Virginia, West Virginia. North j
Carolina. South Carolina, Georgia,!
Florida, Alabama. Mississippi, Louis-j
iiia. Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Ken- j
tuckytfcind Tennessee.
The governor of each of thesej
states has accepted appointment as!
honorary vice president. The orgatn-!
j ization will be incorporated within a j
few months with one prominent man
from each state as a director. The !
i list is not yet complete, but those who |
have acccepted are well known in in
dustrial and financial circles all over !
the country. The company will boa
mutual, non-profit-sharing organiza
tion. and all Lie funds after the pay
ment of debts and'expenses will be re
turned exhibitors. The ! corpora
tion will not be subject to state or
federal taxes.
The Grand Central Palace has been
engaged for the next exposition and
a branch office opened at the Hotel
Lorraine in New York. The execu
tive staff will continue at Greenville
in the president’s office until the
late spring so as to be in constant
touch with southern exhibitors.
The Manufacturers Record again
offers a prize of five thousand dollars
in advertising to the state making
the best exhibit.. Most of the l south
ern states are now arranging for
committee meetings to prepare com
prehensive displays. Alabama took
the prize last year, but she will have
strong competitors next . September.
The fall dates that have Wpen selected.
September 27th to October Grli. will
afford an excellent opportunity for the
south to advertise itself to the north
an deast. The weather at this time
in New York is invigorating, the city
is filled with visitors, the theatrical
season is in full sway, and the shop
windows are gay with fall and winter
styles.
The newspaper and magazine ar
ticles which have been printed about
the south since the southern exposi
tion was organized in the autumn of
1923 have turned the attention of the l
world to this section. Never before
has the country appreciated what the
South has to offer, to investors and
home-seekers. An exposition provides
not only the actual exhibit, but an op
portunity to talk about them.
