j!|j 9 THE PLAN
The plan of the contest is very simple. There are
fi no strings tied to it. Just get out and secure subjB
scriptions, either new or renewal, to The Bamberg
fl Herald. Every 1 year's subscription counts 1,500
fi votes. The five receiving the highest number of
B votes will be awarded the five valuable prizes
1 : /fl .named below. To each contestant not receiving
fl one of the five big prizes, The Bamberg Herald will
f I &*ve> W^en the cpntest closes, a check for ten per
fl cent, of all collections tufned in by the contestant.
Therefore no contestant will lose. In other words,
flN if a contestant tbras in $200 in subscriptions during
the contest, and does not succeed in securing
> I one of the prizes, we will cheerfully give that confl
testant a check for $20. Do you know of an easier
way in which to make $201
fl NO VOTES ARE FOR SALE.
?.vi.'V.fl Votes in this contest are not for sale. No one
' can come in The Herald office_and buy votes in this
fl subscription campaign. Votes are given for money
I paid in on subscriptions, and for nothing else. No
fl. contestant may fear that another contestant can
buy any of the prizes. Votes will be given only on
bona fide subscriptions received at The He Aid
\ % fl office before the contest closes. The people of the
f fl county know The Herald. It has been here a long
fv ; fl time, and expects to remain at the same old stand.
f5'",/ ^ *"? No catch-penny schemes are recognized or employ- I
L fl ed by this newspaper under any circumstances,
fl Under no conditions would The Bamberg Herald
-rfl resort to any questionable means to collect sub- i
* ? scrintions. and The. Herald has been here long i
| - I enough for the people to know that when we say
I ' J we are going to have a contest, it means simply
that so many votes will be given with so much
money paid 'on subscriptions?and nothing else. It
also means that every contestant will be treated
H ftigB j with the same fairness, and that the prizes will be
Jot awarded exactly as advertised.

I right to work. It is easy and pleasant

THE BEST COUNTY PAPER IN THE STATE.
The people of Bamberg county and the surround.
ing 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 secure subscriptions is very easy.
To the majority of people, it only requires the ask-,
ing to receive a subscription. You do not have to
try to induce them to take the paper just to help
you. Everybody knows that The Herald is worth
a-dollar and half and much more, compared to the
average county paper. All that is necessary is to
tell the people that you are in this contest TO WIN
and they will be only too glad to send in their hew
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 every cent of it. The
prizes will be on display soon. . Don't fail to see
them. .
THE REASON POR T^E 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 number 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
~ ?^ -r-v
lists ONE THOUSAND. NEW SUBSUKJLJtlUKS
this fall. We are willing to divide profits and give
to the voung ladies in this and adjoining counties
VALUABLE PRIZES OR COLD CASH for doing
some work for us.
