ADVERTISER CONTEST CAME TO

The 1O-Bushel Ballot Box Was Pack ed with Votes for the Favorites of the Electors - An
 nouncemcnt Tomorrow.

The contest is over. The polls have closed. The ballot has heen cast as wei. as the die. It all depe nds on the count veritablc cyclone of pallets appeared dur ing the closing hours of the contest fast mtdnight at The Advertiser office. Buach- rived to be deposited In the big ten- bushel ballot box stationed in front of The Advertiser office.
 They came all the way from single cou- pons to bundles of a thousand ued neatly in packages. Some were rolled, some were folded, some were torn and ragged while the majority were clipped neatly and tied in even packages.
 W hat job tor The Advertiser force to tackle this morning. It will be late IT, the. day before the final count is made, cor plete list of the standing of all can didates will be published tomorrow morning. Candidates and others are re- quested to have the patience to kindly wait for the correct count, for 1t will be correct.
 Never before has so much interest been manitested in any contest as this. All Advertiser had some comment to make about the contest, and up to midnight in- terested spectators remalned to see the last ballot cast, and the ballot box nailed tight and locked in the counting I oom of The Advertiser ready for the Rainbow Editor and his force of assistants to be- gin the count this morning Whoever proud that the contest has oeen waged honestly and fairly and that they are justly entitled to the credit O. being the most popular teacher, clerk or poll ,e- man in Montgomery. and it is doubtful but what such would have been the re- suit had the contest have originally in- claded the entire State of Alabama This latter assertion Is vcntured on account of the deep interest manifested througnout the State, there being scarcely village in Alabama but from which coupons have been received at some time during .he contest. Not only has Alsbama fur nished coupons, but many hundreds have come from adjoining States, and States ard cities from a distance. Miss Kate McLemore, the popular teacher. having registered the longest distance coupon, which arrived at Il o'clock last night from Case Cottage, Me, just in time to be deposited to her credit.
 Many speculations were made last night just previous to the closing hour on who would have the best of 1t, or in other words. who would prove most successful In keeping the most up their sleeve to play safe with.
 The six leaders played a long and anx- ious game of wait with the final vote. Both sides watched eagerly for any signs of & surprise until just few mo- ments before F. when the climax came. Bundle after bundle was deposited by both combinations until 1t was difficult to tell who was more surprised or who had the best of 1t. At any rate they cl eated an awful job for the Contest Ed itor and his crew.
