A his- by The Ledger For Many Patrons. The publisher of The Ledger, with his usual enterprise, has arranged for the announcement in our columns of an exciting, interesting, and profit- j able contest, wherein, by the display of skill, some of our readers can be come rich men and women. The Ledger, always aiming to keep abreast of the times, endeavors to give its readers not only the latest new’s features, both telegraphic and local, but whenever it is possible to make the paper more interesting in other ways the management has spared neither pains nor expense. Through our Chicago representa tive we have arranged for the an nouncement of the Lion Coffe Con test, which appears elsewhere in this issue, in which details are given of how $50,000 will be awarded to the public, and those readers of The Led ger that display the necessary amount of pains, patience, research and skill may be made rich men and women. How $50,000 Is to Be Given Away. The Lion Coffe people will give the readers of The Ledger and the pub lic one or more votes in their con test, on mailing to them five lion heads taken from the Lion Coffee packages and a 2 cent stamp for each vote—one being based on the attendance July 4th next at the World’s Fair, St. Louis, in which $20,000 is to be awarded; the second contest is based on the popular vote for President (all candidates com bined) to be cast on Nov. Kth next. On this contest $20,000 will be award ed, and, in addition to this, a capital prize of $5,000 will he given to the one who is nearest correct on both contests. This makes $45,000, the other $5,000 being reserved for the grocers’ clerks that sell most Lion Coffee. Gaffney Must Win This Money. Some of this money has got to come into Gaffney. In the 4,270 cash prizes to be awarded there are $5,000, $2,500, $1,000 and $500 prizes and The Ledger would like to feel that it had been the cause of some one (NO NOW FOR THE GLORIOOS FOURTH!

St. Louis on its opening day had 178,423. This ought to have some bearing to show that St. Louis will draw larger crowds day by day than did Chicago. The July 4th attendance at the Chicago World’s Fair was 238,273. and it is up to you to estimate what the attendance on the same day will be at St. Ix>uis, although we remind you to consider the financial condi tions of 1893 and those of 1894. Eighteen hundred and ninety-three was a panic year. In 1904 every one has money. People are going to St. I»ufs who could not afford to go to the Chicago fair. Railroad rates were never lower; transportation fa cilities never better; farmers are prosperous, the whole world is awake to the wonders of the* great est of world’s fairs, and the result will be a wonderfully large increase in the attendance on July 4th at St. Ixuiis over the corresponding day at Chicago. Bad weather on that day is the only thing that can bring the attendance down to a lower number. ..How the Presidential Vote Runs. The contest for popular vote for President at the national election, which takes place on Nov. 8th next, gives Ledger readers a second oppor tunity to gather in a goodly lot of the Lion Coffee shekels, while the one •rho is nearest in both the World’s Fair and the Presidential contests will receive the grand special prem ium of $5,000 cash. As a guide to correct guessing we give the official figures of the popu lar votes for President during the past five Presidential elections, which were as follows: 1884 10,044,985 1888 11,380,800 1892 12,059,351 1890 13.928.378 1900 13,959,053 It will be noted that each four years shows an increase, and it is safe to figure on about the same av erage ratio of increase in the vote of 1904. Vote Early and Often! This advice has been administered many times, but The Ledger again wishes to bring it to your attention. Here is a chance offered its readers not only to make a big sum of money, but the excitement and skill entailed should bring interest to one and all.
