No more acceptable combination |
could be offered than this paper CIV
ing all the news of local and county
interest, and the Weekly Constitution
giving all the news of Southern and |
National interest, and the Sunny |
South, which is not newspaper, but |
is a literary paper of high merit, edi-
ted with especial reference to South
ern readers. We think the combina-
tion is ideal and we expect to add |
more than one thousand subscriptions
from this county to our large subscrip-
tion list.
The Atlanta Constitution will mail
to every one making application by
postal card, all the details of the con-
test. We state briefly that the prizes
consist of three large prizes of S. 000.-
90, 100000 and 100000 each.
Five prizes of $500 90 each.
Ten prizes of 5000 90 each.
Fifteen prizes of $4,000 each.
Twenty prizes of $50. 90 each.
Forty prizes of $40 each, and one hun
dred prizes of S. each, total of 203
set prizes amounting to $4,000 90 in
cash. In addition to the above the
Constitution offers 81, 10000 to be di-
vided equally among those estimates,
not taking any of the 203 cash prizes,
that come within a thousand bales
either way from the exact figure. In
the CONSTITUTIONS cotton crop contest
that closed in August, there were two
estimates that came within the prize
limit on the consolation award and
these prizes amounted to $4,000 each
In the present case the amount each
prize estimate will receive from the
81, 800 90 will depend upon the number
of estimates that come within the '
1900 bale limit.
In addition to the S17,5O0.O0 above
the Constitution offers prizes ranging
from $2,500.00 to 81 900 90 to be added
to the $4,000 90 first prize provided an
exact estimate be given during the
contest. These last prizes vary accord {
ing, to the month in which the exact
estimate may be filed, il any should
be filed,
Prepare your estimates at once and
send them in. The September extra
prize is 100000 and this will be a
nice sum to add to the $4,000 first I
pffze in case you should file an exact r
estimate during September. Should
your estimate not be exact and yet {
Should come within 1000 bales in |
either direction from the exact figure,
you will certainly get some of the
money. t
