November Series Now Open CITIZENS BUILDING AND LOAN ASSO CIATION The Concord Daily Tribune ‘Dutch’ Anderson Was Son Os Noble Danish Woman, Says Attorney SOUTH TO HONOR THE MEMORY OF WAR LEADER Will Pay Honor to Memory of Gen eral Abrose P. Hill., Richmond, Va,, Xcy. s.—Monday next will be the one hundredth anni versary of the birth of Gen. Abrose P. Hill, one o£ the -noted military chieftain* of the .South in the war between the states. In Virginia and in other states the centenary .will be commemorated by the Confederate vet erans and other organizations. In this city a pilgrimage will be made by the old soldiers to the grave of Gen. Hill, in Hollywood cemetery. Vo ere rest the remains of so many other noted leaders of the "lost cause." General Hill was born near Peters burg and was the son of Major Thomas Hill, a prominerft merchant and politician of his day. The son was graduated from West Point in 1847 and saw service in the Mexican war and in the war against the Semi noles in Florida. At the commence ment of the war in 18(11 he resigned his com mission and entered the serv ice of the Confederate states. He was appointed colonel of a regiment of Virginia volunteers and was pro moted to the rank of brigadier-gen eral for liis services at the’ battle of Bull Run. This rank he retained until the battle of Williamsburg in May. 1802, on which occasion he fought with such spirit and determi nation that he was nfade major-gen eral. • In the notable council of war which was held in Richmond on June 25. 1802, Hill was present, and his voice commanded a respectful hearing as coming from one who, even in the short exiierience of one year, had proved himself a soldier of more than common ability. Ilis sentiments re ceived approbation, and his opinions weighed well with those of Generals Lee, Jackson, Longstreet and other eminent Confederate leaders who par ticipated in that meeting. In the seven days' battles about Richmond Hill began the long and memorable series of engagements with the federal army under McClellan by driving the latter from Meadow Bridge, thus clearing away for Long street to advance. Throughout all the following engagements duripg the slo\y retreat of McClellan Hill occu pied the center of Lee's army, and conducted the force* under him with 'the utmost bravery and skill, secur ing thereby a reputation for himself which few of his fellow-officers equal ed. Hill's forces bore the brunt of the fighting during the whole of the campnign, and took the lead in ail the offensive movements. • At the battle of Fredericksburg Hil’.'s division formed the right of Jackson's corps, and during all that hotly-eontested fight Hill managed his force with notab'e success, and person ally distinguished himself by brave conduct. At Chancellorsville he oc cupied the center, and took a promi nent part ia the brilliant flank move ment that crashed Hooker’s right. In this engagement General Hill was severely wounded. Upon his recov ery he was made lieutenant-general and placed hi command of one of the three grand corps into which the army was divided. He participated in the battle of Gettysburg, and during the bloody three days' fighting was associated most prominently with all the move ments of the Confederate forces. Late in the summer of 1863 General Hill was taken sick and compelled to re tire from actitve service for a time. Before he had completely recovered he returned to the sent of action and while engaged in the struggle for possession of the works about Petersburg met his death at the hands of sharpshooters. In the light of history General Hill is remembered as one of the most couargeous, honorable and brilliant soldiers of the South. 76-Year-Old Man Believes Work Is Keeping Him Alive.

EIGHT MORE IRKING DAYS NOW OF HIGHEST ETC Also the Biggest Point Score From New Sub scriptions on Ford Coupe Special Prize. NOW IS TIME TO DO YOUR UTMOST If You Halt Now For a Moment You re Taking a Desperate Risk of Los ing in the Campaign. With only eight more working days in which to get the highest vote cred it on the regular prizes in The Trib une-Times campaign and also the biggesi j>oint score from new subscrip tions on the Ford Coupe Special Prize, aendidates should and seem to be awake to the importance of tin* possibilities of fhis next. week. Now. while the opportunity exists for a double winning of automobiles, or when a ehanee for new or late start ers is possible, is the time to do your utmost in this campaign of genuine opportunity. Each contestant in the race realizes that, the grand prizes representing ov er £IOO,OOO in actual cash—are prac tically within their reach, to be claim ed for their very own or forfeited to more aggressive opponents during the next few days, depending almost en tirely upon their filial supreme efforts put forth while the biggest remaining votes are allowed. If the contestants halt now for a moment —if they slack up or let their enthusiasm wane—if they overlook one opportunity to better their chances to win. they are taking the desperate risk of losing the big prizes already partially won and which really belong to them. A eanaidate who fails to do his or her utmost during the re mainder of this “period" is certain to bring dismal disappointment upon himself or herself as well as- upon their friends who are naturally in terested in their success as the candi dates themselves. Never again during the election will it be possible to secure as many votes on subscription as between now and 12 o'clock Saturday uight, Nov. 14. To hold back subscriptions now "5!- W depend ffrt to >nb-- scribe to a later date simply means that you will liave less votes on such subscriptions. We are putting it up to you fairly and squarely. If you would be declared the winner of one of the big cars, you cannot jiossibly afford to let this period pass without having done your very best. Now. during these last days of the third period, you can make sure of bo : ng the winner of the big motor cars now waiting to be driven away by their “live wire" winners. Bpnr in mind that you can pile up the winning votes these next few days. A little mathematics will prove it; before this Saturday night a new five year subscription to The Tribune will count 175,000 votes (clubs extra). A few of these would work wonders for anyone in the campaign. Contestants are warned that this is the lust week up until 12 o'clock Saturday. November 14th that “sec ond payments" will count for addi tional votes. Bear in mind that the third period vote schedule and the second payment vote schedule go out of effect prompt ly by 12 o'clock Saturday. November 14. Keep constantly in mind the fact that the big campaign closes forever one week front' that date. Scutliern Baptist Baptisms .Set New Evangelistic Mark.

Berkley, Cal., Nov. s.—Drainage of over-irrigated lands by pumping from dee;) wells is the latest method put into use by farmers of the Pacific Coast states in their fight . against alkali or water cogged soil. Drainage by deep ditches or by til ing had proved to cost S4O to SOO an aerse and had itusually necessitated formation of drainage districts and is suance of bonds secured by lands which were already part of bond carrying irrigation districts. The deep well pumping system was originated six years ago. but it has been adopted in the irrigated regions of central California until now more than 400 wells ore draining nearly 100,000 acres. The wells are 125 to 200 feet deep and the water is pumped by eleetrio driven rotary turbines. Each bump will maintain the underground Water at ony desired sub-surface level over approximately 100 acres. The prin cipal point in favor of the well-and pump drainage, is that it delivers to, the surface water available for irriga tion worth more than the current needed to run the eleetrie pumps.
