reach, to be claimed for their very
own or forfeited to more aggressive op
ponents during the next few hours
depending almost entirely upon their

Only a few hours remain iu which
candidates can gather enough votes
to assure them of one of the motor

Second Payments.
Second payments on subscriptions
will play, a prominent pars in
campaign of most of the candidates
these next few honrs. Every randi
<late should understand the'
second payments. Make it your busi
ness to confer with the campaign
manager o» Hits’ subject.. It should
he thoroughly understood, however;
shat no extra votes will be given for
second payments on subscriptions next'
week. It 1r this week or never.
Both the third period schedule nnd
the second payment plan vote offers
go out of effect promptly at 12
o'clock tonight and neither off will

successful ones these next few hours;
a little mathematics will prove it.
Mathematics of It.
Tonight it is poss ble to make new
, five-year sub.ci'iptkms produce for you
175,<)00 votes without counting the
club value. x A few of these would
work wonders for anyone in the cam
paign. ,
A new- one-year subscription (re
ceive*] any time during the campaign)
now lengthened by four years, would
count you, at the very least, 164,000
votes. See what a differeaee a few
of these would make.
Contestants are warned that this is
the last week up to 12 o’clock tonight
that second payments will count for
addit’onal votes.
Bear in mind that the third period
vote schedule and the second payment
vote schedule go out of effect prompt
ly nt 12 o’clock tonight. \
This period every one year sub
scription to The Tribune counts 6,000
votes, a two-year subset iption gaunt
18.000 votes, a three-year subscrip
tion counts 45,000 — a four-year sub
scription credits you 00,000 votes and
a five-year subscription entitles you
to 150,000 votes, iu addition to this
schedule 6,000 extra. vote* are given
for NEW subscriptions.
dust a mere handful of long term
subscriptions will be sufficient to put
the candidate ( wlth the lowest score at
the very top of the standings tonight.
And also remember tbe points allow
ed ob new subscriptions toward the
. Ford Coupe will be reduced by half
after midnight tonight.
The keenest and most v'gorous kind
of work U necessary from now on if
you hope to be declared one of tbe
big prise winners. There’s no other
way to win except by the hardest kind
of work every minute of the time
during the remaining few days of
the contest. *

with the pack is responsible for the
kill,” Mark W. Brown, who is asri
hers who stormed the county jail on
September 19th, declared today iu the

was the (mck that was behind those

and filled the jail and the jail yard,
trampling the law under its feet.
That park was a howling mass, de
void of conscience, reason or heart,"
he declared during the course of his
address to the jury which was a bitter
arraignment of those who would Bout
law and order.
When Superior Court convened in

hours of argument will remain before
Judge A. M. Stack, who is presiding,
starts his charge to tile jury and
places the fate of the twenty-one de
fendants in the hands of the men in
the jury box.

ing along for several days with a
great arruy of miscellaneous evidence
first for one defendant and then for
thethe other, suddenly rested its case
at the midday recess and when court
resumed its session at 2:30 o’clock
Mr. Brown arose to address the jury
for the State.
During his talk the attorney for
the prosecution took a list of those
defendants who had gone on the stand
in their own defense and one by one
stood them up in fancy before the
jury and riddled their defense with
a withering denunciation of their nl
eged conduct on the night of tin
trouble, as told by witnesses for both
State and defense.

■TAR HEELS”
One Story as to How North Caro
linians Came to Be Thus Called.
Raleigh, N, Nov. 14.—G4 s )
How did North Carolinians ever
come to be cnlled “Tar Heels?"
It is a question tlmt is repeatedly
asked, and there are perhaps various
versions of the origin of the term.
One of them is that found in an ad
dress by tlie late Major William A.
Graham, eliverqd before the South
ern Commercial Congress, at Musko
gee, Oklahoma, on April 25. 1915,
while he was commissioner of agri
culture in this state.
In his address on “Agricultural
Achievement ini North Carolina,./'
Mr- Graham explained:
“In 1862,” he said, “Tar Heels
was introduced as a term of rid
icu e." He explained that it came
into use in the Confederate Army as
the result of bantering*. To certain j
questions, he said, "the boys replied j
ip different styles—
“ Got any tar?’ 'No, Jeff Davis
has bought it all?'
“•What for?'
" ’To put on you fellows' heels to
make you stick.’
“The Fourth Texas,” continued
Major Graham, “had lost its Hag at
Sharpsburg. Passing the Sixth North
Carolina a few day- - afterward, the
called out. ‘Tar Heel', and (he re
ply was, 'lf you fellows lmd some tar
ou your heels, you would nave i
I brought your flag back from Slmrps-
I burg.'
I “It was recognized ns a term of
I affront until 1804. Governor Vance,
j when he visited the Army of North-
I ern Virginia, in. opening his speech,
said:
I "I do not know what to call you
follows. I cannot say “fellow sol

made early tomorrow morning by a
