WHO WILL BE THE
BIGPHB
SMURDIY SIGHT?:
- !

nounce Their Official i
Decision in The Tribune-
Times Campaign.
EVERY HOUR NOW
IS IMPORTANT
All the Live Wire i Candi
dates Are. Working .With
Might and Main for the
Big Prizes.
The question now foremost in ev
erybody's mind is "Who will be the
big prize winners when the judges 1111-
nrmtee their official decision on the
Trbune and Times campaign tomor
row night? As the automobile and
gold race comes to a close all the can
didates are asking themselves; “Will
I have enough votes which the final
eonnt is made to put rah over the line,
winner of one of the big prizes?"
Every hour is mighty important
these last few hours of the 1 ion test. In '
.fact,' after today there are only 24 j
hours left—and every single minute
of those last fateful lihurs is vitally
iiuportaht to the linal/sueeess.
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 in
the election. Xo one can deny that
the 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.
“N#w or Never.”
These final days are seeing some
hot battles waged for it is a ease of
now or never. Every candidate rea
lizes that what is intended to be done
MI’ST be done between now and 10
o’clock tomorrow night—and time Is
slipping by rapidly.
Today and*Saturday, up until 10 p.
m. o’clock, in sufficient time to get
the winning votes that wfli “cinch"
the ffi'g automobiles. Keep in mind,
too, that for every $lB “club" of stfb
xcriptions you are given 100.000 votes
, in addition to the votes allowed on
each separate subscription.
Remember that the long torm-sah
■ script ions nf£ most valuable. Make a
subscriptions earlier in the contest
and get them to extend their sttbscrip
'tionif for Jwo, three or four year*. A
few long term subscriptions may prove
to be just the votes yon need to make
you one of the b ; g winners. *
The looked and sealed ballot box is
now in the corridor* of the Cabarrus
livings bank, where candidates and
their friends are depositing votes and
subscriptions these last days of the
contest.

number of votes he is piling up these
vitally important days. This assures
• absolute fairness to all and prevents
any poss’bility of favoritism being
shown.

The Christmas Opening at Cline’s
niarmacy.
A Christmas opening with features
that are quite unusual is that being
held today- and Saturday at Cline’s
Pharmacy.
' Besides the display of holiday
goods, this store is featuring on these
two opening days their sale V>f shop
ping bags. This idea, which was
i first put into execution by Ernest
1 Hicks, the proprietor'of Cline’s, two
years ago with such success, has been
taken up again this year, and like
the circus slogan is “Jtigger and better
than ever.”
The’shopping bags contain a score
or more of various samples, such as
face imwders, perfumes, ' chewing
gum, headache powders, tooth pow
ders and preparations of such char
acter, and besides these there are
placed in half of the bags some kind
of gift, sueb ns fountain pens, safety
razors, flash lights, and other valuable
articles.
A limited number of the bags will
be sold, and judging from the eager
ness with which these bags were sold
-the last bag day, and the way in
which they were selling today, they
will hardly last throughout the two
days’ opening.
Specials Friday and Saturday at the
Piggiy Wiggly.
The Piggly Wiggly, which is now
under new management, offers many
specials for today and tomorrow. All
kinds of canned goods, as well as fresh

The Norfolk Southern may become
a bidder for the Atlantic and Yad
kin running from .Sanford through
Greensboro to Mt. Airy, if that
road is sold under receivership, as is
now expected. It was indicated that
a decision as to bidding on this road
is not yet definite, but is being ser
iously considered. Its acquistion
would enable the Norfolk Southern
to reach Greensboro and the territory
beyond by connecting with the At
' lantic and Yadkin at Sanford.

severely injured had strength enough
to bring the animal to the ground and
got on its neck. Realizing that his
position was precarious, Mr; Zim
merman leaped foe an opening in the

Washington Nov. 20.—OP)—Re
sponsibility for the bcnd-oti collision
of two Atlantic Coast Line passenger
trains near Mango, Fla., on October
10th has been placeed on Conductor
Monger and Engineman Basses of the
Southbound train No. 80, in the report
•of the director of the Bureau of safe
ty. as made to the Interstate Com
merce Cgmmision. One pgrson was
killed and 31 injured in the wreck.
The misreading of a "meet” order
by the engineer was considered the
direct cause of the wreck. Failure of
the engineer and conductor to allow
subordinate train officers to read the
orders as required by law was held
in the report to have prevented a
cheek on the message which probably
would have averted a collision.

ed to the Legitimate.
New Y'ork. Nov. 19.—PreskMB
Coolidge tonight held out a promise t0.,1
business that it need fear no interfer
ence from his administration, so lon*
as it confines itself to legitimate ac*s
tivities.
Addressing one thousand New York |
business executives at the 157th; hth'i
trottf umKitwrof the state '*
commerce, lie emphasized the desira
bility of the ‘'largest possible inde
pendence between goveernment and
business"; declared that business
should be "unhampered and free”;
admitted that "proper regulation and
control” of business are “disagree
able and expensive." and expressed the 1
belief flint, judged by its conduct
during the last few years, business can
be trusted to keep its own house in
order.
Carrying out hix thought that gov- I
erumeut and business “each ought to *
to bo sovereign in its own sphere,” the ,
President said:
"When government comes unduly
under the influence of business/-the '
tendency is to develop nil administra
tion which closes the door of oppoV* -;
tunity, becomes narrow and selfish in '
its outlook, and results in oligarchy. '3
"When government enters the field
of business with its great resources,
it lias a tendency to extravagance ami j
inefficiency, bith having the power to,
crush all competitors, likewise closes J
the door of opportunity and results in i
monopoly.”
Repeatedly during his address the ’
President was applauded ,his audi- U,
ence giving approval to his expressed "
attitude toward business; to his ap
peal for continued government econ
omy and efficiency: to his appeal for J
American adherence to the world
I court.
. j "I can think ot no more assuring ,
, i action." said Mr. Coolidge. “than- the #•
. declaration of America that it will 1
wholeheartedly join with others in I
the support of the tribunal for the ad- ;
ministration of international justice J
1 which they have created.” *’**”
f Citing George Washington a- a, -
. leader who did not hesitate to meet '
peril, encounter danger or make Baa« J
, rifices, the President, appealing for ;
support for world court adherence, de- J
dared that "we must meet our peril*.;
1 we must encounter our dangers; we
. must make our sacrifices: or history
j will recount that the works of Wasli- i
I iugton have failed."
