BALLOTS ARE COMING IN

The Tee-Dee Summer Outing Tours
are rapidly becoming an absorbing topic
Of conversation.
A goodly number OF names have al
ready been listed. and will be announced
in few days. AS the plan is talked over
one with another, the rivalry becomes
more intense.
Ballots are beginning to run into the
hundreds and new names being entered
every day. 1t behooves every contest
ant to gather as many votes as possible.
SEND IN VOTES.
It Is important that the holders OF bal
lots should deposit them at once at The
Times-Dispatch office or at one Of the
voting stations. This will greatly facili-
tate the keeping of the records and assist
greatly in making an accurate count,
for the work of counting and tabulating
thousands Of ballots Is by no means
trivial undertaking. If contestants will
remember this and drop their votes into
the ballot boxes every day or so, they
will confer a favor on The Times-Dls-
patch.
WHO ARE ELIGIBLE.
Several Inquiries have been received by
mail and phone as to who are eligible
to compete for the week outings
Any lady mo statement of age is re-
qured) who is employed In Office, school.
store, factory or at home, and by her
own efforts contributes in part or wholly
to her own support, is eligible.
Two ladies must be voted for on the
same ballot, and the two having the
highest number of votes will have first
choice Of hotels; the next highest, second
choice. etc, until the fourteen parties
are placed. There are seven hotels on
the Tee-Dee list, and each hotel will ac-
commodate two parties each one week.
Each of the fourteen parties. of two
ladies each. elected, will have the priv
lego of inviting a. chaperone, making In
all fourteen parties of three ladies each.
or forty-two ladies in all.
The plan is simple. The offer Is most
inviting one. Ali that Is necessary to
snend a week at the resort of your
choice. free of all cost. is to get votes.
Especial attention Is called to the sys-
tenn of voting by certificate.
THE VOTING COUPON.
The voting coupon may be found on the
third page of The Times Dispatch, right
hand bottom corner, every day until July
18th, inclusive. There will be also issued,
from The Times-Dispatch office, n vot-
ing certificate, made payable in votes for
different numbers and counted as per the
following plan:
For each paid In advance subscription,
for n person not already a subscriber, a
certificate will be issued for half as many
votes as there are cents in the price OF
the subscription made. That Is. u cents
for one weeks subscription in Richmond
or Manchester would call for a certifi-
cate of six votes; so cents for one months
subscription, 25 votes; $500 for one years
subscription in Richmond or Manches-
ter 800 votes; $500 for one years sub
scription out Of town. $50 votes, etc.
One advantage of this plan lies in the
fact that when q subscription Is made
you get a certificate calling for an equiv
alent number of votes, and. then. also.
