N. C. TO VOTE ON PROHI
BITION AMENDMENT NoU
TO THE CITIZENS OP NORTH
CAROLINA:
On November 7th, 1933, the people
of North Carolina are called upon to
vote on the question of repealing the
18th amendment to the Constitution
of the United States. The General
Assembly of North Carolina submit
ted this question to the people of our
State in the form of “Convention or
no Convention” to which delegates
are to be elected upon the basis of
representation of each county in the
lower House of the General Assem
bly. These delegates to be voted for
at the same time the question of con
vention or no convention is voted on.
Thus there are two ballots to be
voted in each of the counties, and
each delegate so elected must cast his
vote in the Convention in accordance
with the vote by which he or she
was elected. There will be one hun
dred and twenty (120) delegates in
the convention, each county being re
presented as it is represented in the
House of Representatives; some coun
ties such as Mecklenburg, Forsyth,
Guilford and Wake will have three
(3) delegates each. A number of
counties will have two (2) delegates
and each county will have at least
one (1) delegate. These delegates
will be elected on a ticket “For Re
peal” or “Against Repeal,” in other
words if a county votes against re
peal its delegate or delegates in the
convention will vote to sustain the
18th Amendment and keep it a part
of the Constitution. If a county votes
for repeal its delegates will vote to
take the 18th Amendment out of the
Federal Constitution.
Any elector holding an official po
sition either State or Federal, can
offer for delegate, holding office is no
bar to being a delegate in the Con
vention; any person desiring to be a
candidate for delegate shall file notice
thirty (30) days before the election
with the County Board of Election,
declaring he or she is “For The Re
peal of the 18th Amendment,” or
“Against the Repeal of the 18th
Amendment,” supported by a written
petition signed by qualified voters of
the county equal in number to two
per cent of the total vote cast for
Governor in said county in the guber
natorial election of 1932.
Those offering for delegates “For
Repeal” or “Against Repeal” shall be
selected by the County Board of Elec
tion (when there are more offering
for delegates than the county is en
ittled to in the convention) the per
son having the largest number of
signers on the petition in counties
having one delegate and the persons
who have the greatest number of
signers in counties entitled to more
than one delegate shall be the dele
1 gate or delegates in either case, to
be voted for in said election.
There will be but one degistration
day, that to be on the 24th day of
October, on which day persons who
have moved from one precinct to an
other are entitled to registrar. No
absentee ballots will be permitted.
The County Board of Election shall
choose and select one Judge of Elec
tion known to favor “Repeal of the
18th Amendment” and one Judge who
is not in favor of the Repeal of the
18th Amendment.
No markers or asistants are al
lowed in said election. Any voter phy
sically unable to enter a booth or to
m.irk a ballot may be assisted in en
tering such booth anjj in marking
the ballot by the election official upon
whom the voter calls for assistance
The election shall be held under the
general election laws of North Caro
lina, except in the provisions enum
erated above. The election will be se
cret as is provided under the laws of
North Carolina.
The State Board of Elections' will
supply the ballots for. “Convention
and no Convention” and each County
Board of Elections wifi supply the
ballots for delegates to "the voters of
their several counties. If a majority
of votes cast in said election shall be
“No Convention” then t^ere shall be
no Convention, if the votes are to be
contrary then the Contention shall
meet.
The pay of the delegates shall be
the sum of ten dollars ($10.00) each,
and the mileage to and from Raleigh.
The Convention should not sit more
than one day and cannot performI
any act except to vote u£on the ‘•‘Re

BIRDS OF ALLEGHANY CO.
HABITS OF THE WILSON SNIPE
(By Claude J. Smith.)
Near my home this esteemed game
bird is seldom seen, but I have evi
dence of its being found at several
places in the county, which I believe
will warrant it a place among the
common birds of the county. This is
one of our most interesting birds, ar
riving from Southern N. S. in March
and staying until July or August. No
evidence of a nest of this bird has
been presented, but it is seen during
each month while with us, so I am
led to believe that it breeds in the
county sparingly. This queer bird
may be observed near open brooks *r
along marshy places, out of the woods
Mr. Emmett Evans, of Stratford, re
ports five or six of these birds near
his home in a wet meadow. Possibly
a description of this bird would be of
help; it has long heavy bill, large eyes
placed near the top of the head, plum
age striped, varigated, and barred
black, brown and white. In flight, the
white forms barrs across the wing3.
The three outer wing feathers pro
duce a sharp harsh whistle in flight.
This whistle is often the only indica
tion of their presence. They dart out
from under your feet and wing their
way out of sight, pursuing a zigzag
course. The feeding habits of this bird
are very peculiar. It probes in soft
ground with its bill for insects; the
tip of the bill is flexible thereby en
abling the bird to grasp its food when
felt. I have seen several of these feed
ing places, which can be told by sev
eral small holes bored in the soft
earth close .together. I hope that gun
ners Will refrain from shooting this
splendid game bird at least until it
becomes more commonly found in the
county.

When ttfo can live
As cheaply as one
Eight Cylinders Will Be
As Economical As Six
1TB There's no law against believing
that “two can live as cheaply as
One." Neither is there any law against thinking
thfct eight cylinders can be as economical as six.
Use your own judgment—but if you want the
most economical car, just ask a few people who
own the new Chevrolet Six. Their cost figures
will be a revelation, particularly if you are
struggling to support a few extra cylinders for
the cost of six. You can save with a Chevrolet,
and if you want to find out why, go straight to
your nearest dealer. Look at the car and drive it
yourself. The Chevrolet valve-in-head 6-cylinder
engine works wonders with a gallon of gas, and
it doesn’t burden your pocketbook with extra
cylinders, extra rings and pistons, or extra valves.
Chevrolet has earned the reputation of being the
world’s most economic?1! car, but after all, it was
Chevrolet’s /bo first screed the good
