Charlotte, Nov. s.—Rural police
here share, the reported belief of of
ficers at Columbia, S. C., that the
woman bandit who assisted her fath
er in holding up a Myers Park street
car conductor Friday night baid the
South Carolina capital a visit Sun
day night.
The methods of a reported hold-up
of a street car motorman in Columbia
were similar to those of the Charlotte
holdup, and description of-the woman
bandit and her companion tallied with
the description given by Motorman
N. H. Jamison, of the Myers Park
line here.
Chis of Police Vic Fcspcrman, of
the Mecklenburg) county police, ex
pressed the opinion, after the hold
ups on the Myers Park car line and
on the North Charlotte line, the same
night, that the male bandit was the
same in both primes and that the
woman assisted only in the Myers
Park episode. Chief Fe|perman also
expressed the opinion that the ban
dits probaly were veterans.
Immediate investigation by rural
officers sent by Chief Fesperman on
report of- the robberies here revealed
no trace of the robbers, except the

YOUNG BUSINESS MAN
STRANGELY MISSING
John Duhling, of Durham, Probably
Suffering PYom Amnesia Attack.
Durham. Nov. s.—Mystery sur
rounds the strange disappearance a
few days ago of John Di|bliug, one
of Durham’s well known young busi

4ir. Duhling. who was engaged in
buying tobacco, working in connec

and operating a sort of independent
buying business between the two, left
’a is home several days ago, came down
into the business sections of the city
where he was seen by friends and
then vanished.

relatives instituted a search for him
but this proved of no avail and despite
the fact that an investigation lias
been conducted all over rtiis section,
no trace of the missing man lias been
found.
At times in the past Mr. Duhling
had suffered with attacks of amnesia
and. scouting the idea of foul play
though .thi missing man was known
to have had a considerable sum of
money on his person when he left
iiis home, relatives and friends think
it possible that he has again forgot
ten his identity and has wandered
to some distant point.
Police here and in every city in
the state have been requested to aid
In locating the missing man, if pos
sible. He has two children.

NOW IS THE TIME
TO WORK HARDEST
111 BIG CAMPAIGN
Business Worth More Now
Than It WiU' Be A fm
Present Period Is Ended
Next Week.
PILE UP LEAD (
AT RIGHT TIME
And It Wfflße" Hard for
Loafers to Catch Up
When Last Period in the
' Campaign Starts.
With only seven days remaining in
which to get the biggest votes to win
the prize of your choice under the
third period vote schedule and with
only that same week in which to take
advantage of the second payment plan,
contestants are working ns they have
never worked before. In just seven
more days the largest point credits
on the Ford Coupe Special Prize will
also dwindle to one-half of what they
now are. After Saturday night. No
vember 14, the votes will bo reduced
to the smallest vote offer of the en
tire campaign. It is victory or defeat
in the next few days.
The all-important day of the auto
mobile prize campaign “looms up" in
full before eveVy candidate who is
striving for one of the beautiful new
cars. The important is Saturday;
November 14, at 12 p. m. At that
hour the best offer of the remainder
of the campaign closes. Any of the
prizes may be won or lost from effort
or lack of effort next seven
days. It is all with the'candidates
themselves.
Subscriptions count more now than
they will later. Remember, after
Saturday night extension will not
count extra vdtes.
Now is the time to work on your
extensions, while they count you ex
tra votes. For instance, if someone
gave a one-year subscription during
the first period, and should now give
you the last four years now it would
count you 164.000 votes besides the
elubs. After Saturday night, Novem
ber 14th, extensions would not count
extra votes. All subscriptions secured
during the final week will be cast in
a icaled ballot box and counted by the
judges of the election according to
the last period schedule, whiqh is the
f smallest vote offer of the entire eam
; paten-
I Remember, this coming seven days
tell the tale if you want to win. A
good lead secured now will be practi
cally impossible to overcome the last
week with the’ smaller vote offer in
effect.
Every day counts vitally, from now,
on, Saturday night, November 14. at
12 o’clock is the hour. The third pe
riod vote schedule, the b’ggest of the
remainder of the campaign, is closed
forever at that hour.
