SJTOEW NIGHT
The Honors Thus Far Are
About Evenly Divided
Between Candidates.—
Straining Every Nerve.
WATCH OUTFOR
FALSE STORIES
Don’t Let Any One Dis
courage You by Rumors
That Are More Ingeni
) ous Than Accurate.
* With Honors thus far about evenly
divided, candidates in the Tribune-
Times prize campaign are preparing
‘ ysith feverish haste and intensity tr
make their final stand for victory in
the five days before 12 o'clock this
coming Saturday/ night—the close of
the second period schedule of votes.
Surging forward at the rate of sev
eral thousand votes a clip, all of the
leading candidates are passing through
the final days at tcp speed—straining
every nerve in their final efforts foT
supremacy.
Action Grows Faster.
More general and concerted action I
should take place during the next few!
days than at any other time since the;
contest began and with the race liar- i
rowing down each cf the favorites I
•are more determined than ever to be |
declared winners of first honors. I
Interest in the competition is run- ;
ning high and strong. And it lias not 1
been confined alone to this locality,
but has reached out until there are
hundreds, yes thousands of eager
watching friends who are waiting the
final outcome with intense interest.
False St cries.
It is no doubt natural, with such
intense interest being shown in the
great race that some would attempt
to discourage others by circulating
rumors more ingenious than accurate.
One hears tales thnt are so highly
embellished with frills, so utterly in
conceivable that their untrutiifulqess
is readily apparent. These exagger
ated stories hurt no one but those who
/ attempt to circulate them. The REAL
I eontfstams are those who aretoo
busy either to listen or to be bluffed
by these would-be bluffers.
So on the basis of pcrhonal honor'
the comi>etition is being waged xest
fully. shedding lustre on this inspiring
sight in the'civil pride manifesting it
self. This mighty factor is the bul
wark behind the various candidates;
its reputation for doing things is not
going to let some one else walk off
with the most desirable prize when a
little concerted effort will "bring it
home.”
With but five more days in winch
to turn in subscriptions nnd secure
“second period" votes, this race is
steadily being brought to a close and
the end may now be said to be in
sight.
Twelve o’clock next Saturday night
is positively your last chance to enter
subscriptions aAd secure “second pe
riod’ votes. Make every day, yes
every hour, count while the time
counts most.
Very Close Race.
The entire race is so close that any
one of the candidate can forge to
the front and cinch the coveted honors
while the present vote schedule ia in
force. Indeed tie outcome of the
whole battV depends almost entirely
upon what each individual contestant
qevompishe* during the next few days.
Some hard work and real hustling
will undoubtedly be seen this week.
And is it' any wonder? Some of the
are going to win the big
cats for their efforts these days,
othrr live contestants will receive the
cash awards. lus’t that sufficient
/ pnpensation for the very best liust-
Wlng almost “night and day” that one
can make for so short a period of
time?

Death of His Son.
Nashville. Oct. 25.—’Rev. j\. Ij
Ormond, Methodist minister of this

agains: W. It. Cole, of Rockingham,

nfinistrafor of hi« son whom Cole
shot to death early in August, being
later acquitted by a Union county
jury, •
Just when the summons will be is

Cole's return from a distant state
where, it Is stated, Cole has gone to

There has been no intimation of
the amount of damages that will be
asked by Rev. Mr. Ormond, and this

NON-STANDARD TEACHERS
In a Few Years Only Graduates Will I
Be Teachers in Our Public Schools, j
Raleigh, Oet. 2(l.—GP)—ln three j
more years there will be no teachers
in North Carolina's public schools who j
have educational qualifications of less
than grttdnation from a standard high
school, if the present rate of decrease I
in the number of these so-called non-1
standard teachers employed in the j
public schools continues during the
next three yea tv. at the same rate j
maintained during the past five years. I
This is shown by figures compiled
in tile office of the State superin
tendent of public instruction, and
published in tile current issue of Stale
School Facts, a department publica
tion, jpst issued.
The figures show a ylienominally
rapid decrease in the number of
teachers in the public schools of le.ss
education than graduation from a
standard ingh school. ’ The decrease
in the city schools. ' it : is shown, is
more rapid 11tan in the rural com
munities, but there i« a big decrease
in both types of schools.
In 1919-20 there wefe 5.348 non
standard rural white teachers and
320 non-standard city white teachers.
In comparison, during the past school
year the number had decreased to 1.-
653 rural and 67 city non-standard
white teaeherms. The percentage of
decrease in figures by State School
Facts was 6!) in the rural schools and
I 70 in the city school.
; 111 tlie negro schools there has like
wise been a decrease, though not so
rapid as in the white schools. The
percentage of decrease in the negro
rural schools during the past "year is
shown to have been 14.7, and in the
negro city schools 59 per cent,
i At the present rate, says the pub
lication, there will beno non-standard
j white teachers in the city schools in
| two years: in the rural schools, in
three years; in the negro city schools
in four years; and in the negro rural
schools it is estimated that, at the
present rate of decrease, it will take
29 years to eliminate the non-stand
ard teachers.

throwing shells into various parts of ,
the troubled district, while the Bulgar- 1
ians from- points of vantage, were de- ;
elated to be carrying out sniping op- 1

still continued the excited rush of the -j
frenzied populace in the war torn
areas to escape from the shells and f§
whistling bullets.

the situation and try to bring about i
harmony, report had it that the Bui- :

Greek invasion of Bulgarian teritory. |
Greece, it is said, still adhered to ’
her threat to hold all the positions her
troops have taken from the Bulgarians a
until full satisfaction has been accord- ;
ed in the way of reparations and apol- )
og.v from Bulgarian.
