thing Clip Coupons From Papers
i The various gifts that The Dispatch
? is going to award on August 17 should
cause intense rivalry. There' never
' has or probably there never will be
'.'.again an opportunity like now to se
". cure something worth wnne with com
vparatively little display of effort. The
'opportunity to secure subscriptions to
! The Dispatch should be greater now
. ' than there ever has been. Everyone
' wants to keep posted upon ,the hap
penings of the World Wide War and
there is only one way in which that
information of what is happening can
?lbe secured and. that is through the
medium of a newspaper. With the dif
ference of time "over there" from four
', r to five hours earlier than the time
'here, news of the war from the battle
' front of France is secured, and an
: - nounced in the afternoon newspaper.
;The Dispatch being an afternoon
newspaper naturally secures the very
latest news in time to announce it in
the different editions every afternoon,
and then the news can be read at the
supper table, on the porch after sup
- per, and in the twilight of the even
ting, and the news is secured and an
nounced while it is news.
More Readers of Newspapers Now.
- ' To illustrate our-point so the differ--ent
participants understand thorough
ly that more people are reading news
papers now than ever in the history of
'.his country, and subscriptions are
sasierto secure, which is not difficult,
" there is not a subscriber to The Dis
patch that probably will not renew
their subscriptions if approached.
Even if they are not readers of The
" Dispatch the participant by outlining
1 the points covered in above para-
graph will have no diff icvulty in se
"luring a new scriber who possibly has
v . lever been a subscriber to The Dis
u : patch.
rhe Dispatch and Merchants Extend
Invitation.
" The Dispatch previously announced
'- the various gifts that are to be dis-
tributed and again The Dispatch states
that Clayton & Lassitef, located at
111 Chestnut street, would be glad
lor anyone to call and view the grand
t capital awards, the Studebakei; Six,
ind the Chevrolet Five Passenger
Touring. Car that are on display at
their show rooms. The Wilmington
.. ; Talking Machine Company, from
: v yhom the two $215 Victor Victrolas
; vere purchased, and located on Mar
; :et and Second, would be glad to
lemonstrate these wonderfully per
fected machines, which are the first
division awards of each division. A.
O. Schuster extends a liberal invlta
tion. for everyone to call and view the
four chests of silver that are the
third and fourth division awards of
each division. The jewelry establishl
ment of A. O. Schuster is located on
Front street at Princess; The Singer
Manufacturing company, located on
Market street at Front, would be glad
for any one to call and view their
large asosrtment of sewing machines
of which choice of any two 'machines
this company manufacture, are, going
to be distributed in each division as
second division awards. There can
also be seen at the store of Northam's
the Eastman Autographic Kodaks that
are on display which are going to be
awarded as fifth division award for
each of the two divisions. Also at
the store of A. O. Scnuster the two
ladies' solid gold wrist watches can
be observed, that are going to be
awarded as the sixth division awards
of each of the two divisions. , After
these different places have been visit
ed, The Dispatch will gladly assure
every participant that remains active
to the end and does not receive an
award that they will be tendered a
check calling for 5 per cent, commis
sion on each dollar that they secure.
Now, does not the plan, seem a fair
one? The gifts are practically of qual
ity that the most aspiring would ap
preciate, and the way in which many
of the candidates can secure these
gifts is by taking advantage of the
present special vote offer, and for the
first $12 collected in new or renewal
subscriptions in addition to the regu
lar votes there will be issued a spe
cial ballot calling for 100,000 extra
votes. This extremely liberal induce
ment is good until Saturday, June 1st,
and each participant that sends in to
The Dispatch by that date $12 in sub
scriptions will receive 100,000 extra
votes in addition to the regular votes.
If an" yone is still considering
whether or not they will become ac
tive they should reach the decision to
day, clip the nomination coupon from
the paper, fill in their name and send
to The Dispatch without delay. There
will also be noticed a special free vot
ing coupon good for 300 votes, and
just as many of these coupons that Is
possible to secure should be sent in
connection with the nomination cou
pon. Do not delay giving this matter
attention. The awards are valuable

address in this city last Friday, was
accidentally shot at Robersonville last
Saturday afternoon.
Captain Campbell was demonstrat
ing with a captured German pistol.
The weapon had refused to fire when
suddenly it blazed away. The bullet
entered the top of one of his feet,
w.?nt through, struck the sole ani re
bounded, lodging In his foot. Regard
less of his injury Captain Campbell
continued his address and at the con

Joseph Ablen, special agent for the
government and who left a few days
ago for Camp Jackson, having in his
charge several deserters from the

While at Camp Jackson Mr. Ablen
had rather a thrilling experience. He
had turned his men over to the proper
authorities and had received a receipt
for them and was on his way to the
and can be secured with a display of
effort that will not interfere or incon
venience any young ladies' daily rou
tine of life. SO WHAT IS WORTH
WHILE IS WORTH EFFORT, but not
much effort will be required to secure
one of the New Era Gifts. WILL
THERE BE ANYONE TO APPRECI
ATE AND REALIZE UPON THIS
HINT? A word to the wise should
train to go back to Columbia:,- s. C,

wanted to know who he was and what
he was doing there. He explained to

would not take his word for it and he
was held for more than an hour while
an investigation was being made.
Finally everything was smoothed
over and an apology, made for the In
convenience that had bee' ncaused him.
"They are certainly in the job down
at Camp Jackson," said Mr. Ablen, and
there is no doubt but that such is the
case.
