* The opening period of the mam->
moth subscription drive running on |
tHe Roxboro Courier finds many per- :
[ . sons of this section trying hard to
win the handsome Chevrolet or
one of the other beautiful jA y that
are to be given away in the' ~* 4se of
the next few weeks .The person who
displays tWe best salesmanship qualities
between now and Nov. 4th will
1 be the proud owner of the Sedan that
is offered as the first grand prize in
the Courier's huge campaign. Up, to
the present time none of the Club"!
Members have secured a decided lead |
\ - -over the rest of the field, and ifo
present writing finds all of themj
closely bunched in the race, but the j
.. . largest extra vote offer to be allowed
closes this coming Tuesday night, j
October 17, and it behcoves each and
every candidate to get busy in these j
next few days, so that He or she may ;
get his or her full share of the extra
votes to be allowed. At the present
' ' thne and up until Tuesday a subscription
will average many times
fc.. more votes than the same subscription
if not taken until the last of the eei'ii-T"
paign. so don't fall down now, candi-'
dates, for every minute .means some-'
j* v thing to you and your fight for tHi J

vantage of the huge and splendid offer
while it is in effect.
Votes Not to Be Published.
One of tH? attractive features of
the drive is that Nat no? time during
the drive vfill the votes of'any candidate
be published in the columns of
this paper. AfteF a candidate ' Works
for his cr her votes, they are his or |
her own property and tlJj campaign !
manager does not possess the right I
to make TTnown to any one these
i votes. If a candidate wants any one |
else ho. know the number of votes he )
or she has, the right t) tell them, but |
that right does not rest with the man- j
ager of the campaign. No one. of the
Courier's force will make known the ;
votes that are in the name of any j
candidate until the final judges announce
this on the closing night. Ev- j
ery possible precaution has been tak- t
en to safeguard the interests of t)h |
Club Members, and nnv one interest- j
o
ed may rest assured that nothing j
will be left undone to make this cam- j
paign as fair to all parties as human i
ingenuity ran make it Every candid- I
pate is warned to collect all the aubr
# scriptions he cr she has before this
huge offer closes, for now is the time
r to work. "Make Hay while the sun
shines" is the old saying. You do it
H \ with votes and there is a ^nighty big
prise waiting fcr you at the close of
- _ this mammoth campaign. You will

Campaign Closes Nov. 4th.
The Campaign will close on the
night of Nov. 4th and under no consideration
will this date be extended
regardless of the number of subscriptions
collected or the amount of
money taken in. Every candidate
should bear in mind that no extra
time will b? allowed them in which
to secure additional votes. Take advantage
of this offer now, or forever
kiss this life-time opportunity goodbye.
Another thing that may possibly
confuse candidates is the number of
rumors that are or will be traveling
minded enough to take no stock in
them* for you know all of these could
not possibly be tra$. Sometimes tHjse
false rumers are^ started by the intimate
friends co-worker in the
campaign, iust in order to mislead
some one else. Candidates who are
easily discouraged will never win an
automobile: Only" the real stickers and
workers can hope for such a luxury.
Make that one yourself_aiid_jadii-thi8
hpndsome Chevrolet Sedan.
It is, not too late yet for a candidate
to enter the drive. In fact, we
expect to have' some ambitious persons
entering rigWt along. Most any
cue could enter the drive now and
still have a wonderful chance to win
cne of the major prizes. Remember,
."vir. and Miss Public, that the campaign
is not over yet, nor have any
rf the orizes been won by any of tW?
candidates already in the race. You
may do better than any one if you
will just try; so think tHs over and
then start out after-the subscriptions
that will mean votes to you in the
campaign. Remember, some one is
going t<3~wtn these prizes, and?rtr
nav as well be you as some other
person. Call .the campaign manager,
Phone 39. and ask any preliminary
question you may think of, and then
get your receipt books and start to j
work. But .remember that after Tuesday
til* votes will start to decrease,
and after Tuesday you will not get
the sum of 200,000 extra votes on
each and every $24.00 you turn in.

Manager' Sands in the East this
Week.
The flood gate*, of Cooperative
Marketing opened last week when
9,000,000 pounds, of tobacco from the
organized growers of North Carolina
and Virginia alone poured into the
Tobacco. Growers Cooperative Asaociation.
Members of the Cooperative in
North Carolina delivered 6,000,000
oounds of tobacco 4,500,000 pounds
in the old belt and Central market)
ani 1,600,000 pounds in-Eastern North
Carolina.
The Virginia growers placed 3,250,000
pounds of the weed on 18- cooperative
floors within four day)
time. All tH_> tobacco of 34 grade)
delivered oh the opening day to 2)
cooperative markets cf the old belt
were sold to leading manufacturers
before, the sun had set op the first
day of cooperative marketing iii Western
Carolina apd Virginia. Otfibi
heavy orders have reached the Association
since the opening of the old
belt markets and" according ta RtcMsrd
R. Patterson. manager of the
Leaf Department,' the Association is
selling at figures which are highly
satisfactory as compared to the average
prices on the auction floors.
With each day's operation the cooperative
system runs more smootMy
and the enthusiasm of the growers
within .the Association is proven by
the fact that 400 contracts of new
members reached Raleigh headquarters
during the past week, and tlfa
number of local organisations of the
association hah risen to 208 in Western
North OwrtHna.
Most of- these tools supply their
own detectives to watch for contract
breakers, but as yet not a single case
of contract breaking in the old belt
has been reported to headquarters.
Local organizations of the Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Association are
increasing in number throughout
E; stern North Carolina, and at a
series of meetings held last week
throughout the eastern belt association
members pledged their support
in reporting any cases of contract
breaking on the part of local warehousemen
or growers in their district.
Oliver J. Sands executive manager
of the Tobacco Growers Cooperative
Association will address mass meetings
of tobacco growers at Rocky
Mount next Wednesday/ October 18th,
at Greenville and WasH'ngton next
Thursday, October 19th, and at Kinston
and New Bern on the morning and
afternoon of Friday, October 20th.
Following the-recent rain*-tmd the
highly successful sales of Eastern
Carolina tobacco large deliveries^ are
expected this week from member? in
the eastern belt, while the cntH-isiastic
support and heavy deliveries of
the great majority of growers in Virginia
and Western Carolina* who make
up the membership of the association
insure its complete success throughout
the old belt.
Funds are- being forwarded from
tH? Rich rb "nd office of the tobacco cooperative.
to the friendly banks of
South Carolina, which have become
its depositories, and the second cash
advance will be paid to the soutn
Carclina growlers In the ne&i?future
according to recent advices from the
Richmond offices of tH? Association.

CO-OPS GOING' STRONG. I
Quarter Million Pounds Delivered
I.aat Week. Satisfactory Advances.
. V
The Co-Operative Market is surely
going good and strong in this tobacIco
town, and the farmers of this and
adjoining counties are bringing it in. ,
Last week there was more than a
quarter rf a million pounds delivered
here, and rarely did you hear a gram- j
'ble. Of course, there are some who
| would grumble, in fact they could not
be liuppy if they could not grumble
and kick, but that class certainly has
kept cut of the Association in thesei
parts for we have heard very little
complaint. This is very gratifying to
i the managers, for they are men of
i integrity, and well known in the to-,
i baeco business.
i Only one warehouse has. been in
i use, tHit is, one at a tithe; but they
have had to shift from one to anoth.
of, but we learn that it is expected
r to open the second house soon and
i 'receive at each of them daily.' -!
i On last Monday the largest deliv,
ery was made for thg season so far.
; amounting to 76,792 pounds, with a
; very satisfactory average advance. >

THOUSflND'LBS FRIDAY
\t an average of better
than Thirty four doj.i.abs a
Q I
VIore than Three Hundred and Fifty
Thousand Pounds Sold Last Week j
at an Average of $34. c
The tobacco business was the busi- '
less in Roxboro last week. The New
ftyco soW more than 350,000 pounds ^
it an average of about $34.00 per ^
hundred. With a little figuring you ^
will see that more than $119,000 was ^
lurned loose here to the farmers. And ^
tH'.a does not take into consideration c
'ho mnnov whirh tho Co.On* naiH out k
in advances for the quarter millipn c
pounds which they received. We have
been unable to get the figures from
the Association,'but it was no small
amount, for tH>. tobacco they are receiving
is of just as good grade as
that soli on the floor, so you see the"
two combined will make an ambunt
of large* proportions. The
sales on the open floor for
Thursday sas 81,798. Friday 77386
and Monday 51,064. We failed to getthe
other two days of the week, Tuesday
and Wednesday, but the sales
were heavy on tHose two days. The
sales are heavy everv day now, and
the puces are advancing every day.
P'arely have we seen a season in
which the farmeTs were so universally
pleased, but that is usually the
case where the tobacco is good and
coming in in good condition. And sucH
is the case this season, the tobacco j
is good and the farmers are handling j
if with unusually good care.
" Never during our long stay in Itoxboro
have we known as much tobacco
coming from neighboring coUntiei
els this year. There must be s reason
?probably higlter prices.

SHORT HISTORY
>f the Woman's Missionary Society
of Edgar Long Memorial M. E_
Churchi
We Have been requested to glee a
hort history of the Woman's Mi?ionary
Society of Edgar Long Memrial
M. E. Church, Roxboro, N. C.
lilts' auxiliary was organized by
lev. H. H. Gibbons, pastor of the
hurch, the twenty-fifth of September,
1879, under tHe name of Person
" ircuit Woman's Missionary Society
cith fifteen members, including the
olloaring officers: Mrs. Ella Webb,
resident, Mrs. Emma Reade, Vice- v
resident. Miss Pattie Satter&eld.
tecording Secretary, Mrs. Ella Fuller
lot-responding Secretary and Mrs. fhse
t.rrn-fiaU Tnimin, all ?/ bt.?
fflcers have passed to their reward,
ind only two of those, whose names
vere then enrolled, are now living.
We miss the presence af these
isinted woqnen whp Had the faith and
rision to believe that the united prayers,
work add offerings of women
vould advance the Kingdom* of God
hreughout the world. Their influence
emains with us. and has been an inipiration
to us to go foVward In thia
food work.
TWEs Society has never been dis>anded,
but Oh! how often discoorag-'
?d by the indifference and fear in
lumber who attended the meeting*.
So many seemed to think payment of
lues, when called upon, all that was
lecessary. But the faithful few nav?r
gave up, and have been rewarded
>y seeing tHi Society grow in ram>ership
and interest until we now
lave ninety one members.
In 1910 we entertained the Conference
Missionary Sjocietv, and fume
lad the District Meetings several
:imes. We have both Bible and MisLiuD
study classes using books in
Mission study recommended? We are
tow studying "Women and Mission*,"*
tot on the honor roll last year, and
fopr'-to do the- -aaffie this year. Fbr
fifteen years we have clothed a child
iU the Raleigh Orphanage. Hava aalisted
needy preachers and sent twen
:y anceu 10 orevara tnis icn.
We are gratefql and proud to. My.
i young: lady. Miss Mary Nichols, a
nember of our Society, who attended
Scarrett Bible Training: School, has
tow been appointed Deaconess at Key
Vest, Florida.
We have two meetings each month,
ind they are very well attended. Last
rear we decided to name our Society
he Mary Hambrick Missionary Soiety
of Edgnr Long Memorial Church
n honor of one of our most consecrstid
and devoted members, who died
wo years ago last June. . ,
We cannot close this meager report
vithout mentioning our splendid Disrict
Meeting W?ld September 7th and
Ith, presided over by our efficient
district Secretary, Miss Mattie Pttliam.
We were honored bjr-fravirtfe oar
inference President, Miss May Elda
>mith and Miss Sallie Lou McKinoon
vtth us, who-charmed a large aadi ? nee
with their inspirational mesages.
Miss Lillie Duke, Superintendent
of young people's wht, gave
ipirited talks, whicl.l all enjoyed. An
laborate dinner was served Friday
o all the guests. It was uplifting to
>e associited with so many good wonen,
and we all felt it to be a great
?ccasion.
Let us, as workers for our Master,
lave impressed uhon our hearts the
ollowing words quoted by Mjss Benlett
in her message at Richmond,
Virginia, in 1921:
"Be strong! We are not here to
play, to dream, to drift;
We have Hard work to do, and loads
to lift;
Shun not the struggle; face it.
'tis God's gift,
Be strong! Be strong;."
