The list of nom'nees as given helow indicates that the people of Dillon county and other sections realize what an opportunity The Herald has placed before them. Indeed it would be strange if they did not appreciate and. take advantage of such a generous offer. If a firm should offer you the opportunity to earn from v100 tc $400 for a little work during spare time for three months you would ac cept in a hurry. This is just what we are going to do, and the sooner you realize it and get to work, the v better it will be for you. The people who live inthe country and the smaller towns have as good if not better chance than those in Dillon. Why? Simply because it is in those districts that the circulation of The Herald is smallest. Many of the farmers and merchants throughout the county will give you their subscription just for the asking. Try a few of them and see what success you have. There is nothing to lose and a great deal to gain, if you enter the contest determined to win. Work while the weather is good. The rules of the contest are published elsewhere. If any further ex planation or information is desired, call, phone, or write the Contest manager, Mr. A. T.

These certificates are transferable, but not more than two hun! dred dollars worth of certificates shall be allowed to apply on the ; purchase of one piano. Other Frizes: There are to be still other prizes, t but we don't want to talk about them just now: perhaps you might think it all sounds too good to be ( true. But remember, there are still I more to come. Rules CJoveming the Contest. Elsewhere in this issue you will find the rules that will govern the contest: read them carefully and then get to work. Get your nomination in and begin hustling for certificates and subscriptions right now. Get a \ood start while the ' j game is young: it will be too late j to hustle when the leaders in the contest will have turned into the home stretch. All you have to do ' is to cut out the free voting certificates from each issue and solicit subscriptions from your friends and j turn them all over to the Contest | Manager. The value of each free '' certificate is indicated o. it. Votes i i " | subscriptions will be governed by 1 j the following table: I Subscription 1 year, 1,000 votes ! ' Subscription 2 years 2,500 votes Subscription 3 years 4,000 votes Subscription 5 years 7,500 votes Subscription 10 " 20.000 votes j Subscription 25 " 50,0'?0 votes I Of all the pleasures which nai I ture has given man the power to ?nI joy the keenest, is that d? rivt d from , fair contest. To the inner in any fair rivalry where wit is pitted against wit, effort against effort, endurance against endurance, there i is a snt'sfaetior, not to be found in any Che,- pleasure. The sense of superiority thus acquired Is the only sense or superiority that is laudable and bears no resemblance to vanity j! which is engendered by wealth or | mere success of physical strength or charm. The loser in a fair con| test is yet winner by the mental de. | velopment acquired through conj testing gallantly against keen oppo, sition. To the winners in this pop. ularity contest the pleasure of the , ^jtrife will be equal to the magnifiI cence of the prizes.
