The atlanta Constitution.

The Constitution announces a new
contest, beginning April LIST to run
until Adjust 31st, upon the number
of bales in the cotton crop for the
season 1898 SO. There are three
prizes offered for April the first 80,
500 for the exact, or nearest TO the
exact estimate of the number of
bales in the crop; $1,000 for the next
nearest estimate, and $1,000 for the
next nearest estimate, provided the
three are received during April; this
makes a totel sum of So, 1000, very
handsome prize for q newspaper
contest.
Last year the Constitution paid
$4,000 to Mr.. d. p. McLaurin, of
Clio, S. c., for his estimate (Which,
by the way, was tho nearest and
not the exact estimate) Oil tho cotton
crop, and eeveral other psizes were
paid ranging from $4,000 to $4,000
to other contestants.
We wish to state plainly for the
benefit of all our subscribers, that our
club rate with the Constitution is
,1.75-and all who subscribe to the
Constitution through us on the com.
bination offer will be entitled to en-.
ter the cotton crop contest. The es.
innate mus be given with the sub
srciption 30 that it can be forwarded
by US at the same time the name is
sent N. The Constitution is known
to be entirely fair and scrupulously
just in the conduct of it's contests.
The postal authorities have ruled
that these estimates based upon
figures and statistics that are obtain.
able and widely published, are ad.
missiole and do not constitute a
lottery in any way. A great deal
of good is being accomplished by
contests of this character; they cause
our people to think and figure care
fully upon the size of the cotton
crop and it's possible bearing upon all
other lines of business. The pres
ent is one of unusual interest, fol-
lowing iust after one that reached
yearly eleven million two huddred
thousand bales. 1t has been esti-
mated by experts to run as high as
twelve million bales, while some
have dropped their figures to below
ten million bales, and all have mod.
flied their views more or less, as the
time advanced. The question is one
of unusual interest, and we feel sure
that many of our subscribers would
like to participate in the contest
Do not send you subscription un.
der this combination offer to the
Constitution; this is our own offer
of our own paper with the Constitu-
ton, and The subscriptions that in.
clude our paper must be sent direct
ly to us and not to Atlanta.
The figures given by Latham, Al
exander & Do. of New York, are
generally received throughout the

HONORs FOR DEWEY.
The President to Give the Admiral n
Reception and Dinner.


President Mckinley will give a reception
to Admiral Dewey at the White House
when the latter arrives in Washington. At
first he was in doubt whether a reception
or dinner would be more appropriate, but
the former is likely to be decided on for
the reason that it would be more popular
in character and would grant to multi
tude of people an opportunity to meet the
naval hero and shake hands with him. The
management Of the reception will be very
simple and will differ in no important re-
spects from regular affairs of that char
acter at the White House, except that the
admiral will occupy place in the line of
the receiving party, the President coming
first Mrs. Mckinley next and then the adj
miral, the introductionS being made as
usual by Col. Bingham
Later on the expectation is that dinner
also will be given to the admiral at the
White House. and this, following the GUS
tom at state dinners will be festivity of
some elaborateness. The Vice President
and Mrs. Hobart, members of the cabinet
and their wives and some others will be in
vited. For this occasion the guests will as

is ready Admiral Dewey will escort Mrs.
Mckinley into the dining room, the Presi-
dent following with the wife of Secretary
Hay. AS the guest of honor the admiral
will sit at the right hand of Mrs. McKin-
ley, the President being directly opposite
to his wife. Between the President and
Mrs. Mckinley will stand an elaborate
work of art in flowers prepared by the
White House gardener. representing a
man-of-war, the cruiser Olympia probably.
