NINE DAYS MORE
FOR HUSTL|NC
HeraId's $4,000 Voting Contest
Comes to an End at
5P. NJ, June 80
BUSINESS MEN MAKE COUNT
All Ballots Turned in Go Into the
Sealed Box on the
Last Day

Just nine days remain of The Her
aids $4,000 voting contest.
Promptly at o'clock Thursday even
ing, June 30, a week from tomorrow,
balloting, which has extended over a
period of twelve weeks, will come to an
end and the ballot box and its precious
contents will be turned over to com
mittee of prominent bankers who Will
act as judges and make the count of
final ballots, upon which depend the
winners.
With the finish so close 1t might
appear to some people that the out
come should be more or less certain,
but exactly the opposite obtains in this
contest.
The condition has two causes. One
is that the present leaders apparently
decided a month ago that their totals
were safe and would suffice through
the end Of the contest, and the other
the apparent belief among tailenders
that leaders were holding back or re-
serving their votes.
The folly of this has been shown
and now that both present leaders ano
tailenders realize that nothing but per
sistent energy can mean success there
should be renewed activity all along
the line.
While leaders have been resting the
votes have been dropping steadily and
as a result of this inactivity, golden
opportunities were waved at tailend-
ers. Had leaders shown steady ad-
vances there might be possibility oi
the lineup at the finish being the same
holding good now, but review of past
contest history shows plainly that de-
velopments are to be expected at the
close.
The thing which has had most at
tention and caused most comment Is
the fact that six of the eight grano
prize leads have been stationary Tor
month and the additional fact thai
none of the leads are so large as to be
safe without further advances.
Whether YOU have been taking ar
active part in this contest or not, you
will be interested to know that the
following magnificent prizes are to be
given away to as many winners
June 30:
A s59Oo home. a $33SO Knox Tourabout
double trip through the Orient
($7S7.50) $3.50 Lindeman grand piano
-four capital prices, and
A 5000 mahogany dining room set. a

TO Honolulu. a 1856 double trip to Al
aska, $264 double trip to Alaska,
$3.50 double trip to Honolulu, S2oC
columbia graphophone, and S22t
double trip to Mexico City-eight graho
prizes.
When it is explained that each ano
every one of these prizes will go FOL
votes the attractiveness of this contest
| becomes apparent, and the mystery ol
present leaders remaining inactive 1ol
the past month becomes all the greater

WIRE CHIEFS ARE
RIGHT At HOME
Banquet Room at Alexandria Is
Transformed Into Miniature
Railroad System
FAVOR PHONE DISPATCHING
SuperintendentS Also Believe in a
Change in Present Telegraph
Delivery on Trains

The display of new instruments and
paraphernalia used in' the telegraph
and signal department of railroading
was the feaure yesterday of the second
day of the Association of Railway
Telegraph Superlntendents' convention
at the Alexandria hotel.
The banquet room of the hotel must
have reminded the delegates of their
own offices when they entered, for tele-
graph keys were clicking, signal bells
ringing, and a miniature railroad run
ming across the rear of the room sup
ported two small locomotives which,
travelling back and forth, operated a
number of block systems and sema-
phores along the line.
The reading of technical papers by a
number of the delegates was continued
from the day before, and some inter
esting points and questions were raised
and answered.
Several of the papers read dealt with
the introduction of the telephone in
train dispatching, and the consensus of
opinion among the delegates seemed to
be that the telephone will soon super
sede the telegraph for this department
of railroading.
Another subject OF discussion was In
regard to conductors delivering tele-
grams taken from the wires of railroad
companies to passengers aboard their
trains. The majority of the delegates
seem OF the opinion that most conduct
ors shirked this duty as much as possi-
BILE 1t is possible that before the con-
cluslon of the present sessions of the
organization resolutions tending to REM
edy this evil will be passed.
AS the reading of papers consumed
more time than was Originally set aside
in the program for them, the meeting
was forced to take a recess in order
that the delegates might have chance
to inspect the display In the banquet
room.
Yesterday afternoon the delegates
and their wives and families were the
guests of the Los Angeles-Pacifc COM
pany on a trip over the balloon route.
The party visited Santa Monica, ocean
Park, Venice and Redondo, returning
TO Bristol Pier at ocean Park in time
for dinner.
Sessions of the convention will be re-
sumed this morning at the Alexandria
at 10 o'clock and continue until noon.
In the afternoon the entire party viii
go to the ostrich farm at South Pasa-
dena and from there to Mount Lowe.

night, remaining on the mountain top
to come down by moonlight.

held duplicate celebration this
year, each having a celebration
in their respective locations. 1t
was what has been advocated by
all municipalities, a sane fourth,

of celebration. July 4th, 1910,
will long be remembered by the
good citizens of Um barger as one
of peculiar in this respect.

free dinner to all who wanted
one, that of itself is quite an un-

Reunion Mass Meeting,

On last Saturday in the Dis
trict court room, a mass meet
ing was held to make prelimin-
ary arrangements for the Annual
Reunion of the Confederate Vet
erans. Judge a. N. Henson was
elected chairman of the meeting
and D. X, Usery, secretary.
The chairman stated that the
object of the meeting was to
hear a report from the treasurer
of last years committee and to
elect new committee to manage
the reunion for this year Treas.
urer Travis Shaw, the chairman
of last years finance committee,
reported that there was on hands
S195.S1 of last years funds.
The meeting then reelected
last years committee, but upon
the declination of Messrs. Hen
son and Brandon, IT. F. Reid and
D. M. Stewart were chosen in
their stead. Then the new com
mittee selected as follows: L. e.
Cowling, R. A. Terrill, G. N. Har-
rison. o. G. Davis, Travis Shaw,
r. F. Reid and D. M. Stewart,
The sentiment of those pres
ent was that the reunion this
year should be held on the 10th,
18th and 18th of August. The
committee will probably organ
ize and appoint subcommittee
at once, as already quite a mum
ber of requests to purchase
ground privileges have been
made.

more willing to make sacrifices
to that end. Too many of them

government and the immigra-

hundreds of millions of acres of
