lo,o(M) EXTRA VOTi.s.
Until midnight; April 11?, tho
Srtl subscription turned In i>y or
for any contestant will be good
f??r 10,000 votes over and above
the regular scale. The subscrip?
tion may be ot any scheduled
length from three months to five
'ears. This offer will not ho
repeated or extended. This is
the most advantageous time to
enter the big Votin? Contest.
[-1 I
"I had no idea it was so easy to
get subscription votes," said a young
i lady who took advantage of the Sub?
scription Ballot Offer to enter The
Dally Item. Watchman and Southron
and Merchants' Voting Contest yes?
terday.
"1 knew that you had a tine list of
prizes and have intended for a week
to get in and try to win the auto?
mobile, but 1 never thought it would
be so easy to get votes. 1 have had
several of my friends saving ballots
for a few days and thought I eould
i make a good race that, way, but I
find that it ?s much easier to get votes
on subscriptions that it is to get a
much smaller number by clipping the
i ballots."
Others have had the same expe?
rience. It is not difficult to get votes
in this contest, and it will not be dif?
ficult to win. All it takes is confi?
dence and enthusiasm, ami each he
gets the other.
Subscription votes count so much
more rapidly, advance tin- voting
strength of contestants by so much
greater reaps, that the contest does
not really start until the candidates
J turn their attention to this method of
getting ahead. That is why the
Subscription Ballot Offer is the real
beginning of the race.
1 Miring the week that this offer is
on, the ilrst subscription turned in by
or for any contestant will be credited
jwith 10,000 extra votes, in addition to
the regular scale, The offer applies
equally to subscriptions of any sched
J uled length, from a 75c subscription
j to a |ll one, and as well for new
-nominees as for those whose names
appeared in the paper today's list, it
is also retroactive; that is, it applies
j to those few candidates who had al?
ready turned in a subscription before
the Subscription Ballot Offer was an
nouneed.
While this offer is on is the proper
time to enter the contest. After it
clones, on April 1!*. tiie 10.ooo extra
rates will not be offend. Consequently
those who come in later will tind
themselves under a handicap that it
will be hard to overcome. Ten thous?
and extra VOteS are not to be sneezed
at. A much smaller number than that
has in former contests, often separat?
ed the winner of a grand prize from
the contestant who "won a district
' prize.

DIL HARMS' ADDRESS.
I,a'go Audience of Men end Boys
Hoar Interesting Talk Sunday After
noon*
There was a large audience of men
and boys present Sunday afternoon at
?; o'clock to hear $he address deliver?
ed by Dr. J. Henry Harms, president
of Ncwberry College, at Newberry.
The address proved a most eloquent
and inspiring one and the speaker
held the undivided attention of his
audience for the fifty minutes that he
spoke.
The title of Dr. Harms' talk was
most unique, "The House That Jack
Built," and many in his audience were
anxious to see how he would expand
into a religious lecture. His subject
was character building and he show?
ed how* every man was what he made
himself, according to the material he
user! in his building.
Dr. II.unis commenced his lecture
by telling hin audience that tin- men
of the present day were t>?o far re?
moved from childhood, they were se?
parated from tin* ideals and ambitions
of childhood, they were too far re?
moved from their children and did not
take sufficient Interest in those things
that interested their children. He
told <>f how one could Und enjoyment
in the reading of the old "Lioosie"
rhymes which were so dear to childish
hearts. He told how one of his friends
had been forever freed from pes?
simism by reading one of the little
jingles, and how the same treatment
would cure others of the blues.
He then went on to show how the
little jingle about "The House That
Jack Built" was expanded and ap?
plied it to the building of one's char?
acter. Qood material must be used,
the timbers must be solid, they must
be straight and square, he said. The
tools must be purpose, a plan and
perseverance. The speaker quoted
from many authors and brought into
his talk many interesting anecdotes
and Incidents, throughout a wide
range of subjects, applying them to
his points in an apt and interesting
manner.
Dr. Harms made a deep impression
on his audience by bis address, which
no doubt will be the means of much
future thought in the minds of those
who heard him, as there was much
to think about in what he said. If
in- ever comes t?? Sumter again he will
m* et with an extremely favorable re?
ception, so heartily was his audienco
ph ased with him Sunday afternoon.
PISTOL DUEL IN LEXINGTON.
Negro Shoots Another and in Turn
is shot by Officer.
Lexington, April 13.?In a pistol
duel on the principal thoroughfare of
this usually quiet little town at 6.30
o'clock this afternoon, two negroes
received pistol shot wounds which
may result fatally to both parties.
P.oozer Strothers was shot by Hen?
ry Edwards, who in turn was shot by
Lester Miller, son of Sheriff Sim Mil
Irr. and Chief of Polioc Kleckh y. Edr
wards fired upon , the oilirers -wh^n
they went to arrest him. .Strothers,
who was shot in the left side und the
lower abdomeni was carried to a hos?
pital in Columbia. Edwards was shot
in the left breast, the ball barely
musing the heart and lodging itself in
the body, tin- extent of injuries can?
not be determined tonight.
Tin- shooting was the result of a
quarrel between Strothers ar.d Ed?
wards who claimed that Strothers had
a knife in his hand when he fired the
first shot. Fifteen or more shots were
fired. Edwards immediately after the
shooting made his way across a back
street followed by the two officers.
When he was told to throw up his
hands he drew a pistol from his pockot
and fired directly at the officers who
returned the lire. Not until the pistol
was empty did he cease to shoot. Ed?
wards was brought to jail, where his
wounds were dressed by Dr. G. Frank
Ho be i ts.

ANTI-TRUST LEGISLATION.
Wsshinton, April 11.?Anti-trust
legislation is to engage ihe attention
of the Democratic majority in con?
gress early In the regular session if
not during the session which is now
wrestling with the tariff bill. Several
bills amending the Sherman law are
in contemplation and one, already in?
troduced by Representative Baker of
California, has been referred to the
judiciary committee.
The Baker bill would specifically
define the law and public policy of
the government with respect to com?
binations.
Combinations in restraint of trade
would be defined as all arrangements,
without exception, limitation or qual?
ification, between two or more persons
which in any way or to any extent
limit competition or the freedom to
compete in trade or which create tho
dangerous probability "that the to?
tality of national trade shall be de?
creased for private profit." Such com?
bination in which unlawful means are
used to further the purpose of combi?
nation would be classed as conspiracy.
