Not all by one person, perhaps, but if you are one of those who have considered entering this big Cam paign of The Enterprise and have not yet started, you may find later that thin golden opportunity has passed. That will mean actually losing your share of the additional earnings and prize money which this interesting and popular drive is mak ing possible. Get In Now! Everywhere folks are talking about it. It has captured the interest at people throughout the entire county. The prizes may be won by any one, but all will profit. It may hon estly be said that everyone has an equal chance and that, in many cases, the winners will be those who now least expect to receive them. Handsome Awards! Every single contestant has an eye on the Big First Prize, which is $500 in Cash. There are three other prizes, all to be awarded in cash. And the least you can do is make 20 per cent, out of every dollar you collect. Contestants, now is the time to get in there and work if you expect to win. Work Wins Votes. While the response thus far has been gratifying, the fact remains that the work has really just started. All the workers are fully aware that there are literally hundreds of people all over the county who have not yet been contacted, but who will be and whose names will be added to the rapidly growing list of The Enter prise's subscribers. As a plain state ment of facts, the campaign is only at its inception and the field has not yet been scratched. Last week was "Entry Week" in the work and this week can be properly termed "Start ing Week." Have YOU started yet? Have you yet been jGsa signed the' Ehitry Coupon and then set down to rest before beginning work? Or have you just been "thinking about it?"

And here is a thought for all you good people who expect to give a subscription to the contestant of your choice during the life of the cam paign.

During the final week your subscrip tion will be worth only one third that amount. We are certain that you would not willingly deprive your friend of any votes, but the plain truth is that it amounts to the same thing if you hold back a subscription which you might as well make now while subscriptions count for the most.

TBEHiK>ney market. (Hugh S. Sims, Washington* Correspondent) Undoubtedly foreign affairs both in the Far East and in Europe have iccupied the attention of President 1 Roosevelt and Secretary Hull to a peat extent during the past few veeks. The President hu taken sains to assure the public of his de enpination to keep this country out )f war. He has given considerable [ study to the application of our Neutrality Act and has repeatedly 1 emphasized to American citizens that heir insistence upon trading with ' :ountries in the danger zone is at j heir own risk. This has subjected lim to some criticism from various groups but, at the same time, has , ended to stifle the criticism of vari es peace organizations. Apparently, he President's statements are intend ed to keep public opinion quiet and to i prevent anything like the beginning j >f violent propaganda intended to j sxert pressure upon the Government ? I Meanwhile, Secretary Hull ii 1 rontinuing his attempt to exert an nfluence for peace. Several weeks 1 igo we reviewed ;his declaration of . fuly 16th, setting forth certain prin- \ riples for world peace. This docu- , nent goes before the League of Na- j ions by the express order of the ( Secretary and is accompanied by the j ?eplies of most of the nation's of the vorld. Mr. Hull's move is viewed as mother step in mobilizing world ipinion for peace. His statement was ouched in general terms and was ipecifically applied to the Far East >y a subsequent utterance. However, the general principles ? lave an important bearing on the ? European situation, where the Medi erranean difficulties are causing frave concern. Generally, it is be ieved that warfare in the Far East an be restricted to Japan and China, >ut there is considerable doubt whe her a war in Europe can be prevent id from spreading to the entire world. While Secretary Hull's successive iteps do not involve the United States n any formal commitments, they smphasize to the world at large that he influence of the United States is indoubtedly on the side of the peace Jbly inclined nations and suggest rtrongly a disapproval of the tactics if aggressors who are willing to en 1 anger world peace in their efforts to ecure territorial expansion. This dea is emphasized by the declara ion of the President in regard to the 'jittery" condition of the nerves of >eople everywhere over the threat of var. Significantly, the President de dared that he could not speak for he others, but felt sure he could [peak for the democracies. 1 Without underwriting the interpre- 1 lation, it is interesting to point out 1 hat cert an observers are now sug- * resting that the Lewis-Roosevelt jreach is apt to prove advantageous it when gathered round the festal bowl, . if an account of the celebration staged ^ there after North Carolina had rati- g fied the Constitution is authentic. u According to this account, publish- ? ed in the State Gazette of North r Carolina of Thursday, December 3, P 1789, under the heading "Laus Deo"? ^ "A large company of gentlement din- f ed at Mr. Egan's tavern" and drank t no less than twelve toasts. P Further on, the account says that "in the evening the cupola of the A court house was beautifully illumi- b nated." It does not say so, but very a likely the cupola was not the only thing thereabout which was illumi- t! nated." ti Says the Gazette, a copy of which d is in the office of the State Histori- ? cal Commission here: P "On Tuesday list the happy even of our Convention having adopted the ? Federal Constitution was celebrated ^ in this town with that joy and felicity 1 which the happy occasion could in- * ipire." ?
