I if a contestant turns in $200 in subscriptions durH
ing the contest, and does not succeed in securing
- . fl one of the prizes, we will cheerfully give that conH
testant a check for $20. Do you know of an easier
Hj way in which to make $20 ?

counties know that The Bamberg Herald is one
of the best county newspapers in the' Palmetto
State. The standard of this newspaper is known
far and wide. To seeure subscriptions is very easy.
To the majority of people, it only requires the asking

a dollar and half and much more, compared to the
average county paper. All that is necessary is to

' or renewal subscription through you; You get
credit for the votes, and the subscriber gets the
best county paper in the State. "
. SOMETHING ABOUT THE PRIZES.
When we were about the task of selecting prizes,
we decided not to send away and get prizes about
, . which we knew nothing, but bought everything
from our home merchants. You know them. You
know that when they tell you an article is worth
so much, that it is worth everv cent of it. The
/
prizes will be on display soon. Don't fail to see

THE REASON FOR THE CONTEST.
Everything has a reason. The reason for this
contest is this: Last fall when cotton was selling
for two or three cents a pound less than it cost to
raise it, a large numbef of our best subscribers
could not pay for their paper. The Herald came
to their rescue and carried their subscriptions over
until this fall, with the result that we now have a
great many whose subscriptions are in arrears.
Aslo we have decided to add to our subscription
lists ONE THOUSAND NEW SUBSCRIBERS
this fall. We are willing to divide profits and give
to the young ladies in this and adjoining counties
VALUABLE PRIZES OR COLD CASH for doing
some work for us.
