The good n3^r-: ed "battle of ballots" will end Satur-1 day night, December 2nd, and the names of the judges who will take k charge of the final balloting and the rules governing the close of the campaign will be published in Tuesday's issue of The Herald and News Good Work. Extremely good wor". has been done by most of the candidates from th<?, ^beginning. I All are doing their level best to ^ outdo their competitors within the next week. They are leaving no "turn unstoned and no stone unturned" to I secure every subscription possible, and as a result thousands of votes ^ will be aded to ear;U candidate's totals. The list in today's paper shows ^h^that a determined effort is being put Bptorth by each and every candidate to break all past records in securing W subscriptions and everyone realizes " that they must have votes in order to secure the valuable prizes, and a hard fought fight is expected. j >'o One Sbonld Feel Certain.

Cam Close Sat Dec. 2nd. - * - ' - 1- ~ A Vtt their goal is aooui 10 ue reaciieu. eryone appreciates the fact that the reward to be gained for all past efforts depends upon the effort put forth and the result obtained during the last stages of the campaign. Candidates: Tli? prizes are still be-i fnre vou to be won. in .fact, they are! just as far from being won as they were when the campaign was first announced. A little extra effort on j the part of any of the energetic candidates may. perhaps, turn the tables entirely. Just who will secure the prizes is the main thought of the hour, and as the campaign draws near its end, the interest, of course, increases. Many inquiries are riede each (lay! as to just how this candidate or that j candidate stands, and whether or not j she has a chance for the Maxwell j Touring Car or one of the other splen- i did prizes. Votes, of course, will be the deciding factors in determining who the winners will be and votes must be had and they are only issued on subscriptions secured by each candidate. Eight D?us More. A little more than eight days remain in which to jecure subscriptions and votes. If you are a candidate who aspirrs to secure any one 01 me prizes this question is asked you directly: "What will these eight days means to you?" They will mean the Maxwell Touring Car and five other prizes besides and cash awards which wil go to the ener-5::?i.\ Secu ring any of the rich prizes will be a viftorv indeed, but, the greatest victory will arise fn winning the best prizes. Joy will reign suprvmo!1/ ir. the ramps of J the successful. Do not overlook an fo jejure a subscription,} vv? but redouble your efforts and finish I with colors flying. The present indications are,, the race will be a very close one* especially for the greatest prizes, and a few more votes and subscriptions than you intended to get may prove of tremendous value to you. But now is the time to get them. It will be too late after Saturday, December 2nd. JOIST CTLEBRATIOX LITERARY SOCIETY Winthrop News.

Hendrix near Trinity was completely ^frnvo/1 hv fire Tuesdav morning at uvww* v v? J M. ? ? m 9 o'clock. Mr. Hendrix was on the farm away from the house when the fire was discovered. It came from a closet and as Mrs. Hendrix threw a busket of water on the flames she was burned about the hand and arm and had her hair singed, but was not seriously injured. Everything in the was'destroyed, save a very few small articles. The loss is about $1,;>vu with no incurance. Among the things burned were seven barrels of new home-raised flour and the meat of a big hog just killed. The fire is supposed to have originated from a rat gnawing a match.

ALL THE SEWS AROUND AbOlT PO V A RIA Pomaria, Nov. 22.?Pastor Ballentine is kept busy these Sunday afternoons speaking the words that unite two hearts to beat as one. On Sunday, November 12, at 5 o'clock Mr. Ernest Graham and Miss Eunice Rinwr drove to the Darsonaso where they were made man and wife. Mrs. Graham is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert G. Ringer. Mr. Graham is a son of Mr. W. B. Graham. At the parsonage on the same afternoon Pastor Ballentine married Mr. Eddie Wicker and Miss Belle Lominick. Mrs. Wicker is the daughter of Mr. W. B. Lominick and Mr. Wicker is the son Of Mr. D. T. 'Wicker. Both these young men are prosperous farmers of this section. The young ladies are also from tnis ction and have many friends who ie'i them mighty well. On the 10th of this month we had an t invitation to Jolly Street where we: were told that the people of that com- j rnunity would serve supper in appre- j ciation of the fine work done by the j chain gang in that section. We under-! stood the supper was being given iu j honor of Supervisor Sample, Capt. | ? ? * i Miller and Mr. Tom Kicnarason wnu know just what it takes to make a good road and of course we were anx- j ious to attend. When we reached the; place with several of our Pomaria friends we found about sixty-five; friends who had been invited to help; enjoy the feast. There was 'possum j with smiling potatoes, barbecue pork,; kid, hash, pickles and so on. Thej r~eats were fine and had that pecu-j liar flavor which compels any one to j ask for more even when he knows he! has enough. After supper had been j ^ - 1 <2?_ , served at tlie request 01 me uuvs , porvisor Sample, Sheriff Cannon j Blease, Hons. W. B. Boinest and H. | H. Evans made short speeches. The j occasion was a very pleasant one and i pne that shall long be remembered. I The roads in and around here are l put in the best condition they have j even been. We cannot be too grate-1 ftii to Mr. Sample and Messrs. Miller' and Cameron who have charge of the I gang and who are doing everything J possible for the best interests of the j county. We must also mention Mr. j J. J. Epting who kindly gave dirt of j his own free will and accord for a j forty foot fill to be built near his home, and which adds so much to the i mu? niona hPAn needing j ru, x iic ww* attention for some time. The bridge used heretofore was about 12 feet wide. The road coming in from St. Pauls and the road from Jolly Street interesct on the bridge and it was impossible for any one coming down the steep hill to the bridge to see more than a few yards ahead wiiicn ? -1^ r* o ,.ar,. flanffdrous Dlace. YOU ill'cX UC 11 a Tv* ? ? 0 ^ can now pass and feel safe, n we I bad more men like Mr. Epting who would open their hearts and help the county by giving new roadbeds and roads about to be widened *^nd so on we would have much better roads and less complaining. iWihile returning home from Colum' bia on Friday night Mr. H. F. Counts a ;<tc three of his friends came Tery near having a serious accident. They were driving a Ford car and they " 3 met another Ford car ana uie mu things just ran together.
