take part in the contest. As, ot course, their papers are sent them free and they pay no subscriptions, they have been practically exclud- ed-a fact which struck Us as not being exactly fair. We have therefore decided to allow cores pondents to vote in the contest as follows: Beginning this week, twenty votes will be allowed for each communication published from a regular correspondent-one to whom we send stamps and sup plies. Thus, a correspondent who has a communication published each of the twelve weeks during the remainder of the contest would be entitled to a total of 24o votes. Simply clip your communication from the columns of this paper, be- ing sure to leave the date on the clipping, send them in from time to time, in the envelopes with your items, stating for whom you desire to vote. Communications sent but not published, of course, will not entitle the writers to votes, and to insure publication, they should reach us Monday after noon, whenever possible.

REHEARINGS ARE DENIED.
Supreme Court Finally Disposes of the
 Evans and Traylor Cases.

In the state supreme court Mon day, in the case of the St. L. I. M. Ss s. Ky. Go. vs. R. A. Evans, motion for rehearing was denied. This will end the litigation in this case, which has been pending in the courts for several years. MT. Evans, who lives i'll this county : near Quitman, was seriously in- jured by being struck by train at the Gap crossing near this city, in 1902, and recovered S75oo damag- es from the railway company.
 A petition for rehearing was also denied in the case of Jim Traylor vs. the state. Traylor was con victed in the White county circuit court of murder in the second de- gree for the killing of Sutton Thompson near Fl Paso, and sen-- fenced to fifteen years. The su- preme court reduced the sentence to five years.

INTEREST IN CONTEST GROWS
Considerable Increase in Vote
 During Past Week.
Several New Contestants in the Race Why Prizes are 0ffered-Correspond-
 ents May Vote.

Considerable increase Ill the ln- terest in The Log Cabin Demo- crat's $500 popularity contest was manifested during the past week. Several new contestants have been entered and the voting IS begin ming at lively rate.
 The young ladies who are in the race to win should begin an active and aggressive campaign for votes early ln the contest. Remember, every dollar paid on subscription to this paper entities the person making the payment to a certain number of votes. Not more than half of those who have paid their subscriptions since the contest began have cast their votes, for the reason that they had no particular choice in the contest, and no one connected with the office Is permitted to advise anyone how to vote.
 The prizes offered by The Log Cabin Democrat are valuable and are worth a good deal of effort to secure. The S35o Heller piano offered as the grand prize, is one of the most valuable instruments on the market. Any young lady who desired such prize could af- ford to devote all of her spare time from now until the close of the contest toward winning it. The Heller piano is now on display at ]. Pat Pope's music store. And one of the best features ,of the contest Is the fact that four other valuable prizes are offered, so that those who run a good race, and fail to win the piano, need not be wholly disappointed. Two S5O scholar ships in Central College will be presented, and are themselves we'll worth striving for. These scholarships are worth S5o in tui- ton in any department of the col lege, literary, music, art or eXpres- sion, and if the winner should find it impossible to use 1t herself, it may be sold, transferred or re- tained until the owner IS ready to redeem .it-there are no restruc- tions or limitations on its use. In addition to the scholarships, two fine gold watches, listed at S25 each are offered as third prizes. The watches are now on display at the jewellers from whom they are obtained-one at A. E. Living ston X Sons jewelry department and the other at C. H. Robinett' $. They are little gems and will last a lifetime. So that in all, five prizes, aggregating in ..value s5oo, are offered, and five young ladies of Fanlkner county will be made happy by receiving them.
The log cabin Democrat., 1906-10-04
Why the Prizes are Offered.

Several have asked us how we could afford to give away S5oo worth of prizes in this manner, and how we expected to reap any benefit from 1t. To these we would frankly say that we expect the young ladies who are in the contest and their friends to devote a little time to secure new sub scribers to The Log Cabin Demo- crat and to assisting us Ill collect ing renewal subscriptions, in or der to get votes for themselves. This they can easily do by asking their friends and neighbors for their votes, in collecting and tor warding their renewals to Us and in soliciting new subscriptions. The latter, of course, IS the most productive field i'll which to secure votes, and should be the one most esily worked. We will gladly furnish sample copies to any con testant who desires to solicit sub SCrlpuonS.
 It is in this way that The Log Cabin Democrat expects to re- ceive its returns for the valuable prizes. Each year in the past we have expended an amount almost equivalent to the value of the prizes in paying salaries of per sonal representatives ot the paper, commissions, etc. This year, as an experiment, we are simply in stituting a different method of collecting subscriptions and Sc curing new subscribers, by offering the prizes mentioned. No matter how little interest, however, IS shown in the contest, the prizes are already bought and will be awarded in exact accordance with the rules of the contest.
