'i 4 5 Prepares an Attractive Sched ule Jot 20th Week Annual Emhrnideru Sale to Be a Kress new 5, 10 and 25-cent store, one of the distinctively fine stores of the South and which every Charlotte resident wm Ln.e pride in showing visitors during celebration week, is alive to tne obligations and opportunities of the occasion and will fully measure up to the hopes of its friends. An unusual array of values have been provided and the much-desired Kress specials will be very much in evidence. Jap China. Laces. Ribbons, Flower3, Jewelry, Candy, Post Cards, Souvenirs Toys and thousand and one little notions and accessories of the toilet which make this store so attractive to the general public will be shown in generous assortment, but easily the big card of the occasion, to the ladies at least, will be the annual "Big Em- i broidery Sale," which will open Mon day, the 15th, and continue througn the" week.

Lavish, apparently excessive quantities have been provided, sixty sales girls have been en gaged and five hundred feet oi counter space assigned for the sale of Embroideries alone on Monday. Nothing but the extraordinary value of the offering would warrant this unusual preparation, but the popular response to the special sales of this store have never been stinted and when values are secured which seem to outclass all which have gone before it seems to be the part of wisdom to provide for a response in proportion. This sale starts at iu o'clock on Monday and lasts through the week, or uhtil the quantities have been exhausted. The immense ship ment has been divided into four lots, to be sold at 5, 10, 15 and 25 cents a yard, prices which represent but a mere fraction of the value of a ma jority of the pieces. Truly a visit to Charlotte without visit to Kress-' would be incomplete.

This school is the last of all the schools of the county to close and the year has been a most successful iohe under the able direction of Miss Rosa White.

No one is allowed to pass without being challenged by the getter" and it issafe to say that not many will get away without lending their support. Works Systematically. Some are working very and it goes without saying that he who first plans his line of battle carefully will in the end be far ahead of the jone who goes here and there with no system.

The one will in the end make the biggest showing is the one who makes his mind to do so much, if only a little, each day. It is the steady pull that will reach the top without sliding back. It is a splendid idea to make a list of. all the people you know and all your neighbors. Call and see them as soon as.

If they are arrange for them to save the coupons for you and secure their promise of a renewal of their subscription.

Everyone knows that the News is a big money's worth and will not to give you their subscrip tion, especially- when they find out that by so doing they will help you to win the. pony. Keep Right at It. The most important thing of all Is not to become discouraged. It is sev eral weeks until the contest is decided and, if you keep rlgnt at it j-ou can make a showing before it closes.

A very few subscriptions will soon-count up Into thousands of votes and a few hours work might put you at the top of the race. On the other hand It won't pay to become too self-confident. The. best thing you can do is to have confidence in your ability to win.

Nothing was ever won without confidence. But don't ever think that some one else can't do as much and better than The boys and girls are not going to let this beautiful pony and outfit slip pass without a strong fight and every contestant will do his' uttermost to come out on top. The first list of contestants will be published in the News Wednesday. It will be surprising to some to see how many have entered. There Is stiil room for more, however.

The more, the merrier and the one who will win might be one of the last to enter. Name, This Pony. Several who have seen the pony have asked "what her name was. She hasn't as yet been named but we think it would: be much nicer for her to have a name and we invite suggestions from all the contestants as to a suita ble name." Think of all the names you can and select the one you like best and send it in to the contest manager. We will take all these suggestions and from them will make a selection.

Improvements In 7 he Clerk's Office Work of Rearranging Interior of The Clerk oj the Court's Completed Great Convenience Gained jor Officials and 7 he Public. The work of remodeling and improving the clerk of the court's office at the court, house has been completed and is a creat imnrovement over the former, arrangement, according to the opinion or the public generally. The main room, or audience room, has been improved by the erection of a partition from the door to aoout midwav of the room and a neat little office arranged wherein is located a desk for the clerk. This arrangement makes possible the privacy which is often necessary in the office, but which has been difficult to secure un der the old arrangement.

The office of the deputy clerk has also been made more secluded and free from interruption by being partitioned off into a separate apartment. A lavatory has also been installed in the front of the office which adds to the convenience not only of the clerk's office, but to the entire court house. Probably the greater benefit, however, from the new arrangement, is that' it admits a great deal more light into the vault. Heretofore the vault has been very badly lighted and insufficiently ventilated, but with the improvements recently completed this part of the office is now both well lighted and well ventilated. It is remarked by everybody that the arrangements are a very decided improvement to the officials and to the public at large.
