^o^jty Time" Has Been Extended Until Next Wed
ne*da y by Request of Candidates and This Extension
Gives ("lew Candidates a Splendid Chance to
Start Race Now Without Being
Handicapped.
Ever hear about /thy man who
lid there was thirty-nine reasoun
fry be couldn't gcr to Europe? The
nt rea*4011 waH? because he didn't
ire enough money, ar^d after that,
j said, the other ivahomh weren't
prth mentioning. (Now there are
ilrty-uiue roasons irtiy you should
Ake the most of you^ opportunities
your name In in thot content. The
ret reason la, that you want that
Passenger F*ord pouring Car,
id after that the other reasons ;trc
3t worth bothering about.
The co; i-est management cannot
tit too strongly the great advant
;e io bo gained by mailing a start
.the race this week. B*lve dollars
orth Of subscriptions would
ice you In the lead Iif the pub
ihed list.
there i? no speculation us to the
itcome of this campaign but it is
ir too early in the game to make
i j predictions whatever.
Any candidate in thp race can
iw take first position in the vote
inin by securing five dollars
rth of subscriptions. Al,no oth
tline la the contest will U be so
ij- to forge ahead. But six days

of the candidates have greeted
e contest manager with this re
ttk, "I asked So-and-so tar his
bscrlptlon and lie told mq/that I
pimply wasting my tjfhe as I
old not win anything."
Typical Dodge.
This Is the typical dodge resorted
by those individuals who, rather
in, cotne out with a flat "No,"
f to ^courage candidates with re
irka of this sort. In fact this
JBe perspu will say almost any
Jag to crawl away from giving a
ibscription.
if Noah Webster were alive to
Ofrhe would give the definition of
knocker as follows: "Persona who
we not the ambition to acquire
ijthing themselves and persist in
icouraglng others." If you have
>t already encountered this class
| persons rest assured -that you

?re of that person. Is his or her

Tke polling of votes has been
ceptionally heavy the past week,

Votes.
The Automobile.
The first grand prize In The
Chronicle's Contest. in a Five Phs
segner Ford Touring Car t lit' cur
that Is known an "The Universal
Car." The Ford car for the pant
ten yearn bus grown in: popularity
from year to year until the presont
model ? tho 19 13-*? hits won the rec
ognition unprecedented in the an
nals of commerce 1b tolling testi
mony to its Tightness. Uy all tll0
tests that time, hard usage and th?
greatest possible diversity of ser
vice can impose. The Ford has
proven its superiority. The new
1913 Model comes fully equipped
with extension top, automatic wind
shield, oil and gas lamps, kit of
tools and everything complete right
down to a hoisting jack. The Prize
Car was purchased from Tho I). C.
Shaw Motor Company, of Sumter, |
the Ford Agent for this territory.
Second Grand Prize.
Its a (400.00, Kimball! It is!
hardly necessary to say anything
about the good qualities of this'
well known instrument? the name
Itself is its own best recommenda- j
tlon. The fact that hundreds of
South (Carolinians qmd thousands of
people Over the Uhlted States have
selected' 'this piano out of perhaps
eight, hundred different nuvkes, is
evidence of its superiority. This
beautiful piano" is now on display
at O. W. Crosby's Ice Cream Parlor,
where the public has an opportunity
to go and see it.
The District Prizes.
The terrieory of the contest has
been divided into four districts. In
each of these districts a diamond
ring and a gold watch will be award
ed regardless of the vote in any
other district. Great care lias been
taken in selecting -these prizes and
tlvo diamond rings and gold watches
are exceedingly fine prizes. Evi
dence of this is the fact that they
were purchased at a local jewelry
store.
Diamond Kings,
The four diamond rings which are
offered as first prize in tho four
districts, were selected from the
stock of a local- joWeler. They 1
are indeed sparkling gems of
beauty, set in Tiffany mountings.
They will be placed on display In a
few; days where they were purchas
ed, where the candidates and their
friends will have an opportunity to
inspect them.
Gold Watches.
?_ Four gold watches, in the latest
&tylo cases, either Elgin or1 Waltham
movements, have been selected from
the stock of a local jeweler
as second prize in each dis
trict. The watches carry the guar
antee of both the Quaker and the
dealer and will be placed on display
in a short time where everybody
will have an opportunity to see
them.

l|e sure to save the 50-vote cou
pons printed In each issue of The
Chronicle. Put tho name of your
candidate on these votes and either

Heeding With tho Brute*.
At our hotel in Jericho was an
American who accompanied Murk
Twain on his camping trip through
tho Holy Land.
"No, sir," said lie, in the courab
of tjio .evening's conversation, "I
cannot recall a single instance when
the humorist was .cftllght napping.
Once we thought wo had him sure.
Mr. Twain was late to tho dinner
table when we sat down, and before
he appeared wo had invented a clov
er -trap.
"He was still several courses be
hind when the rest of us were rendy
for salad, but every one stopped eat
ing until Mr. Twain caught up. He
had started intently on n crisp leaf
of lettuce before ho noticed that
no one elso was eating. Ho paused
questioningly. That wan our oppor
tunity.
?" 'Now, Mr. Twain,' some one
asked, 'why are you like Nebuchad
nezzar?' expecting that the answer
would imply that it was because he
was eating grass like an ox. In
stead, and without an. instant's hesi
tation, came the retort,
"'Because I'm feeding with the
bruteB!' "?Judge.
