But six days more remain for you to take advantage of the "Booster Period" offer, which gives the can didates in The Commonwealth's con test 30,000 extra votes for every subscription. This great oiler closes j Tuesday, October 21st, at U p. m. Contestants therefore have a double (incentive in doing their best work; now. Never f.gain during the con test will subscriptions be so valua ble. Let the remaining days of this great vote offer fairly teem with the energy you show. A determined effort during the remaining period of the Booster vote will give you an advantage over the ethers that will be hard to over came. Everyone can do something daring this offer: if they only will. In the contest where the vote schedule remains the same through out the life of the contest, where a subscription is worth just as much in voteg at the cloe as at the start, there is absolutely no way to pre vent the money spender from win ning, there is positively no chance for a contestant who has no money to pay for other people's subscrip tions to win out. The money spend ers then win out every time. Actual workers, not money spend ers will win the Ford touring car and other valuables offered by The Commonwealth to the people of Scotland Neck and vicinity. And that is as it should be. When The Commonwealth first considered launching the present contest, it demanded of the Contest Manager that he devise a plan where by the contestants without money, or the contestants who are the ac tual vcrkers and producers, who work hard and loyally for the paper for weeks, could not be defeated by someone entering at the last minute, who could pay their own money on subscriptions. Asa result of this demand, the fWest Manager laid before The Ccmrnonwealth a plan that he has always followed, a plan dividing the contest into extra vote penoas, votes as was award and no person wit would attempt to put in money so j little rest, early in the contest, for there is no The day telling how active the contest is go ing to be at this early date. We believe that contestants and their friends all heartily approve of our plan of operation, and that they have no fear that the prizes will go to the money spenders. , "Booster Period" is now on and will continue till October 21st. When we say that the "Booster Offer" is positively the largest vote value dur ing the remaining period of the con-x.-1:, we mean exactly what we say. Never again will you receive as many votes on your subscription as you will if turned in during booster time. nd you can afford to t This is a mistake, pass very quickly, a if- this;, ' mi a i V re,cr'ption prepared cppsciallv iSRJAor CHILLS & FEVER. litakJ fi, se8 wil1 break any caae and fetUra ?a as a tonic the Fever will no!

Clipping coupons may mean a ; great deal to holders of government bonds, but it will not win in this campaign. If you have a real friend that is not doing something for you, re mind him that now is the time he can help you most. Going over the same territory several times pays. Be popular, but be busy, and your friends wi;l tfike a deep interest in anything you undertake. Risk nothing to luck and remem ber that chance will not bring you a large vote. Give those you solicit to under stand that there is not a color of charity in this whole effort. It's strictly business from the ground up strictly business, too. There is no restriction on terri tory. If you haven't found a two-year subscriber, keep looking. There are a few of them in your neck o' woods, there may be many. Every time a contestant gets a man to subscribe for a paper real helpful favor has been conferred the one who subscribes. The secret of success is keeping everlastingly at it. When the old clock was vo-ms he said: "I am just s tired, I can't tick another toek." But you.'remem ber he went "tick-tock" for ninety years. He . did not win a prize for it. either, but you can. You have barely begun your race. Don't lose your breath. What is life without an auto? Would you rather be a winner or a loser? Get into the winning class it is easy. A Carelessly Treated Cold is the source or most slewed m5S pills, syrups and alcoholic mixtures are uncertain and unsafe.

One bottle usually Zats longer than a cold. Every druggist has it. n "The bird of time has but little way to flutter and the bird h on the wing." You should not be on some restful twi;r. There will be a time of rest when you have won the prize of jrour choice, Until then let your motto be: Haste, not waste. Do not waste a minute and you will not lose a prize. There are plenty of subscriptions to be had if you will only go after them. Every one ycu ever knew, every one you knov now, every one you may know in the future, are the ore3 you should ask for a subscrip tion in your favor. Keep your friends in mind that the "Booster Period" ends Tuesday, Oct. 21st. Why You Want It. It is easy to show every one to whom you apply for aid, that it may mean a very great deal to you. Tell them of the prize you hope to gain, and be sure that you fix your hopes high. The higher your aim the high er the mark you are apt to hit. If people know that you want some thing really worth while they will be very willing to aid you. If they give their help it will make you wish that much more to realize you wish. No one attains an?thing unusual who is not smhiuous. Now it is something unusual to get such valua ble prizes as you have a chance to. What you need to assure your suc cess is ambition and energy. All Money Counts Remember that every cent collect ed from subscribers counts in this competition. Also bear in mind that old subscribers who make pay ments to you also count in this com petition as well as the big voting contest. If there is any point that you do not understand, we will take pleas ur e in explaining it to you. Discredit Such Stories. Don't think that any information as to how many subscriptions you have will be given cut. Every con testant will be fairly treated in this respect, all others. No favoritism will be shown any one. The Com monwealth is running this contest to make friends, and not enemies. Don't seek to find out how many votes any one has in reserve. You'll find out that the Contest Man does'nt know, hasn't the slightest idea; in fact, has very poor memory. Above all else, pay no attention to rumors as to how many votes this and that candidate has. Such stories are going to be circulated, but run your own campaign to suit yourself and ;be "from Missouri" as far as the other candidates are concerned. Believe thatyouhave just as many friends and just as large a following as any one in the contest and have just as good a chance to succeed if 5'ou start at it in the right manner. TiDE of Fortune. This is the tide of fortune upon which the immoral Shakepeare wrote. If you take it at it3 flood it I will surely prove that the great 'bard was true, for its swell will win that car Tfor you if you jput forth the nesessary effort to win. i Start in Afresh. seem to think that their chances are small could know how little earnest effort it would take to place them in the lead of their most dreaded rival, we are sure that, as the saying goes, they would take a new lease of life, and soon they would surprise them selves by the amount they accom plished. Work thus done is never regretted. All Candidates Treated Alike. The contest will be conducted in a strictly fair and impartial manner, and the fullest investigation is courted at all times, assuring every one that everything is fair and im partial. No employe or member of his or her family will be allowed to compete, nor will any favors be shown to one that is not shown to all other candidates. The Contest Mana ger will assist all candidates in any way consistent with the rules of the contest. And remember "Booster Period" closes next Tuesday evening at 9:00 o'clock. DISTRICT NO. 1.

The first symtom usully noticed is a dripping of saliva from the mouth inability to graze, sluggishness of the cattle, a slight stiffness of gate and inclination to lie down most all the time. Upon making a careful examination, the mucous membrane would be found inflamed and red, or, if the disease has progressed far enough' small ulcers may be found. The first portion usully af fected is the dental pad, which takes the place of the front teeth in the upper jaw this becomes inflamed and raw' consequently, the cattle are unable to graze, not being able to cut the grass blades, but could eat feed already cut. From this poinr, if not properly treated, the inflamation will spread until the en tire mouth and tounge are envolved, becoming raw, making it impossible for the cattle to eat anything. In some cases the outer portion of the lips and nostrils are involved. In milch cattle, there is a great decrease in the milk flow, heavy milkers may completely dry up in a few days. Small red spots may be seen in the udder and teats. A tem perature of 195d F. to 197t F. is fre quently seen. If the feet are examin ed carefully small red spots or ulcers may be seen at the top of the hoof or between the toes. Treatment If the affected animals are on pasture they should be moved to some place where they can be prop erly treated and fed on bran, bran mashes, or other easily masticated food and given plenty of fresh water In each gallon of water put one tea spoon of chlorate of potash. The mouth should be well washed two or three times a day with a three per cent water solution of carbolic acid, or creoline or some other reliable antiseptic. The cattle should be kept in a dry, clean place, in order to keep the feet as free from dirt as possible. The feet should be washed several times a day with an antiscep tic solution. tant things is to see that the cattle get something they c-i- i eat. If con stipated, give a pouii'i of Fpsor salt3 dissolved in one quart of warm water If treated properly the loss should not exceed one or two per cent. Sapreme Court Refuses P'ew Trial to ran H'fto Killed Thomas Shaw. Raleigh, Oct. 8. R. W. Cobb, the Halifax county man under sentence of death for the murder and rob bery of Thomas Shaw, prosperous merchant and planter of Rosemary, Halifax county, is to pay the death penalty in the penitentiary here on Friday, December 12. This date was fixed by Governor Craig on receipt of the certification from the Su preme court that the conviction and sentence, as imposed in t.ho Superior Court, have been affirmed on appeal. The murder and robbery occurred the night of May 8 last, and the conviction and stntor.ee followed in June. The Shaw home was three miles from Rosemary and the store was two hundred yard. from the residence. Thomas Shaw and his son, Sbel- ton Shaw, locked the store at 10 o'clock and walked toward the house, Mr. Shaw having the money from the day's business under his arm. As they nearcd the house some one sprang up from the earner of the porch and demanded "hand3 up!" Mr. Shaw exclaimed "get out and quit your foolishness." The man, who was afterwards proven to be Cobb, fired. Shelton Shaw ran back toward the store for help, a number of men having h f t the store for their home.3 just as the place was closed. Thomas sliaw was found to be mor tally wounded and died three days later in the hospital at Roanoke Rapids. Cobb is a young man rdxut 25 years old and grew up in ihe neigh borhood where the murder was com mitted. There was evidence to prove that he planned the robbery, and murder, if necessary, to get the money, with the purpose of getting away on a bicycle so as to avoid be ing tracked by blood hounds. A young man, Gurkins, who wa3 ac cused of being an accomplice, was acquitted at the same time that Cobb was conviclei and sen tended. From a reader: "I send you what is called the cabbage snake. Are they dangerous cr poisonous?" No they are perfectly harmless. The little worm called a snae is Gordius aquaticus. It hatches in pools of water and as soon as possible gets into the body of a spider or grass hopper and lives on its host and when full grown seeks some moist place to lay its eggs. You might eat. them with cabbage and never know it. But they are usually in the outer leaves attracted there ly water and are easily cleared off. W. F. Massey, in The Progressive Farmer.
