RSONS Am e: ready-I week. NDS SATURDAY UR FRIENDS TODAY in next week's issue of The Sen tinel, and then this great'and 'most successful contest of the knd ever.. conducted in Pickens county will have come to a close. It-har been conducted in abso lute fairnessand justice to each and every contestant, and we are sure that the best of feeling will prevail all around, even if out of the finishing bunch of contestants only three can win. To them will go the prizes, of course, but to all others will also go the honor of having run a good race. Last Schedule of Votes In order that the contestants may keep a record of the num her of their votes as cast during this last Period -of, the contest, -which includes all of the days of this weekthe following sched ule of' votes now prevailing is succinctly given: ' Price of Sentinel. Total Vote. One Year........$1.00 15.000 Two Years...... 2.00 50,500 Three Years.-... 3.00 81,500 Fur Years...... 4.00 112.000 give Years...... 5.00 142,000 This number of votes is much ess than the number given dur ing the first period. The pur ose of decreasing the number during each period was to make it expensive for anyone coming in'at the last period-aud turning in a large sum of money forsub scriptions in hope of defeating thosb who had worked hard'and -honesty during the entire con test in an effort to win, As the 1500 votes now given for oeI year's subscription is just one half of the number that was givt n during the first period, it follows that anyone entering now in the hope of winning will have to put up tWice as much money for 30,00t) votes as the contestants turned in for that number of votes during the first period. This goes to prove thatr the contest has been conducted fair ly o the contestants. The same plan of honesty has-been follow- i ed in every detail of the contest Now let the contestants show ] their mettle at' the finish, for every vote tumned in increases the chance of the. contestant *1ningand to let up at all might be disastrous.

This handsome material has made a great success as a feature of spring mileinery. In big overtopping bows, in standing ruffles and plaitings, and In the body of hats, moire ribbon is one of the assured styles for the ap proaching spring. Other ribbons and other kinds of silk are used as much but not "fea tured" as taffeta is in the makeup of the new hats. For early spring nothing could be better than moire. It is elegance ex pressed in ribbon. The weave~ has the appearance of being heavi' ' al though it is not in reality hieavy weight, and. lends itself to the stand ing ruffles and plaitings and the :big, vigorous bows which designers :are using. with such good effect. On turbans, standing brims and coronets are covered with moire laid on plain, or shapes of straw or silk braid are provided with soft crown and trimmings of moire.

Which reminds us that a representative of the reenville News was in Picke'ns this week and the next day the following paragraph appeared in his paper: 'The present passenger car used on the Pickens line is a filthy affair, according to the version of many forced to ride in it or walk. The windows are dirty and the closet unfit for the use of human beings in its pres ent state." Or probably he rode in the Jim Crow coach. In March.
