Vote Standing Today Will
Be the Last to Be Pub
lished Until the Contest
Closes Saturday.
WHO WILL BE THE
PRIZE WINNERS?
Every Hour Is Highly Im
v. ’ portant hi These Last
Few Closing Hours,of
the Campaign.
Today's vote standings in The
Tribune-Times gift distribution will
is* the last urtfil the publication of
the winners and their standings in
next Monday's igsue of The Tribune,
and Times. All subscriptions this
week will be cast in the sealed ballot

Savings Bank. _/
At the close of the contest Satur
day night the judges will audit and
add all votes cast this week to the
reserve votes and to the standings of
the respective candidates as published
in today's vote standings.
The question now foremost in ev
ery one’s mind is “Who will be the
l)ig prixe winners when the judges an
nounce their official decision on Satur
day night?” As the big automobile
and gold race comes to a close all
the candidates are asking themselves,
“Will I have enough votes when the
iinnl count is made to put me over
Vue line, winner of one of the big
prises?''
Every hour is .highly important
these last, few hours of the contest,
lu fact, after today there are only
four days left—and every single
minute of these last fateful hours is
vitally important to the final success.
Not one candidate will admit the
possibility of defeat, for every one of
these live wires is working with might
and main to be one of the victors |n
the election. No one can deny that
t’iic race is a mighty close one and
that is the reason why the final hours
are crowded with intense excitement
and rivalry of the . 'keenest kind.
’ ,Tho-e final days are seeing some
’’battles waged for it, is a case of now
or never, Every candidate realizes
that what is intended to be done must
be done between now and 10 o'clock’
Saturday night—nnd time is slipping
by rapidly.
Get Winning Votes Now.
Today. Wednesday, Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday up until 10 o’clock
is sufficient time to get the winning
votes that will cinch the prize of your
choice. Keep in mind the fact that
every $lB club of subscriptions en
tires you to the club vote of 100,000
votes.
Remember that the long-term sub
scriptions count the greatest number
of votes.- New subscriptions this final
perfAi carry no bonns vote but do car
ry points toward the winning of the
Ford coupe special prize. The vot
ing power of a five-year subscription
without club votes would be hi 25.000.
Make a thorough canvass of your
friends and make positively' certain
tfcht you are not omitting any sub
scriptions that might mean winning
on* of the cars A few long-term
subscriptions might prove to be the
very Ates needed to win cue of the
attractive and valuable cars.
The ballot box, locked and sea’ed
has been placed in the Cabarrus Sav
, iiigs Bank, where candidates and their
friends may deposit their final votes.
No one but the candidates knows
the number of votes each one is pil
ing up there last few days of the
election. This assures absolute fair
ness to all and prevents any possibil
ity of favoritism being shown. Sim
ply put your subscription stubs in an

GIVE DINNER FOR
VETERAN EDITOR
Col. Wade H. Harris Honor Guest
at Charlotte Banquet.
Charlotte, Nov. 10.—Tonight Char
lotte, with representatives from among
the editorial writers from the state
anil with representatives -from other
professions in the stnte, assembled at
the Chamber of Commerce to cele
brate with Col. Wade H. Harris the
rounding out of his' fiiftietb year as
a' North Carolina editor.
It is believed here that Cftl. Har
ris’ career as an editor will chal
lenge any in the state for length of
■errice and for volume of editorial
matter written over a period of fifty
’JWUEfc ‘' s'-- ss, x- -r.. -i :
At first, a few friends of Col. Har
ris in Charlotte, learning that it had
been a half centry this year since
he entered Upon his career as an edi
tor, had planned a small, informal
dinner. C. O. Keuster, business man
ager of tile Chamber of Commerce,
and E. Randolph Preston, long-time
friend of Col. Harris, started the mat
ter when Mr.- Preston made the dis
covery as to the length of service
Col. Harris had put in as a North
Carolina editor.
However, the first plans were found
wholly inadequate, as others learned
of the affair and asked the privilege
of being in on it. The upshot of it
was that the occasion was made an
event for the city, with the Chamber
of Commerce sponsoring it. Conse
quently, handsomely engraved cards
tiave gone out this week from the
Chamber of Commerce, bearing its of
ficial insignia and inviting the re
oc’ver to be the guest of the Chamber
of Commerce and the city in an event
intended to honor one of the state’s
great editors.
Col. Harris put on the editorial
harness in 1875, and has never put
\bcm off. He is a fine example of
how one's occupation, if it is of the
kind to arouse enthusiasm, may prove
a matter of both recreation and labor
at the same time. He says he hns
gos lots of kick out of being an
editor fifty years ami “has had more
fun than most of the boys.”

I banditry in a small town today coot ■
i the life of “SUm” Anderson, the ban- l
I (lit. and caused wounds to Policeman i
Will Mangum from which his reeov- <
ery was tonight regarded uncertain. |
Anderson* was shot down by a vol- ’
ley of fire from police guns after he i

officers sought liis capture following <
a bold robbery of a man's clothing >
store in the heart of the business dis- >
triet shortly after noon. : 1
The bandit died in n hospital at '
5 :30 o’clock after having given direc
tions to the county coroner as to i
where his body should be sent. The
policeman was resting well at the
liospitaltouiglit, but definite informa- '
Hon as to his condition awaited the 1
completion of an X-ray examination.
The gun battle which caused the
bandit's death and Mangum's serious
wounds, followed a chase of. three
blocks in which many people partici
pated and which came near causing
another casualty when Anderson,
| nressed. fired-on his assailant and the
ball grazed the left ankle of Cleve
land Gill, young garage man.
Anderson, a trimly dressed man cf
about 35. seemed a good prospect when I
he entered the clothing store of King |
and Holding, on Martin street, across
from the post office, shortly after 2
o’clock, and asked to look at some
clothes. Willis Holding, one of the
proprietors, waited on hiih. and scon
a suit was found which he said he
wanted, explaining that he wished to
pnt it on and take his o’d one with
him.
After making the change of clothes.
Anderson asked the price, and then
I reached toward his hip pocket ap
' j parently for his wallet. Instead, he j
i 1 whipped out an automatic pistol and :
ordered Holding and two clerks to |
. back off. He pushed them to the i
rear of the store and stepped over
to the cash register. Finding him
, self unable to open it, he called for
Holding, and the proprietor did the
job. The bandit gathered up paper
and silver money to the amount of
about $47.
With the warning that if any one
left the store in fifteen minutes he
would Kill him. Anderson backed out
the door and ran. Holding started
after him immediately, calling for
help as he ran. Soon a considerable
crowd joined in the chase, which led.
three blocks to the new Professional I
build’ng at Hargett and MaeDowell
streets, just being put into condition
for occupancy.
