Miss Mile Williams made a phe.
nomenal squirt yesterday, and again
this morning holds first place in the
Silver Belts popular piano contest.
Miss Millie improves every moment
and her efforts are always in the diree-
tion of big vote. While she appre-
ciates the clipped coupon votes, she
saves them as a simple incident TO the
controversy and expends her real en-.
ergy in securing new subscribers and
advancing old ones from four to twelve
months.
These facts are given out as tip to
other contestants, who can easily keep
in the forefront with the leaders if they
will only get out and hustle.
Miss Gladys Kelsey has also made a
great bound forward this morning and
with 4l09 votes is close on the heels
of the pace maker. Miss Gladys is a
good worker and Is supported by a
host of energetic friends. She is
candidate who will have to be reckoned
the real strong ones when the contest
ants enter the stretch and rush 10
the wire.
Miss Dollie Armstrong, Miss Gertie
o Conner and Miss Lillian Kinsman
have not materially changed their vote
today. They are working quietly, how
ever, and will be heard from again in
day or so.
Miss Norma Dixon, popular little
lady residing on Pascoe hill, made a
sensational record yesterday, jumping
from the unit column up into the four
figure blacks. Miss Norma brought in
many new subscribers and had good sup
port from friends. She is considered
one of the strongest candidates in the
race and has adopted methods of can
wasting that should terminate in vic
tory.
The Silver Belt wishes to impress
upon the candidates that the "square
deal" will prevail throughout this con-
test. The Contest Editor has sole
charge of the ballots and is playing no
favorites. 1t is his intention to count
correctly every vote cast and give the
candidate full credit. The Silver Belt
could not afford to pursue any other
course. We want all candidates to I'M
derstand this, and to go about their
work confident of fair, honorable treat
ment.
List of Candidates.
The list of candidates, entered at 6 |
o clock last night, with their respective
vote, is as follows:

masming his illegitimate child and

with whom he has been living, she
passing for his wife was ordered held
as a witness for the state.
When confronted with the evidence
that she was not married to Lambeth
the Hope woman broke down and con-
fessed, unfolding a tale Of cruelty and
inhumanity that so incensed the people
of the community that feeling ran
high, there was muttered threats heard
against Lambeth, and Commonwealth
Attorney White brought the couple to
Norfolk for safe keeping. There was
a strong sentiment in favor of dealing
summary justice to Lambeth.
The woman confessed that while in
drunken rage Lambeth snatched her
eleven-months-o1d child from her
arms, threw him into the open fire
and would not allow her to take him
out When the screams Of the child
crazed the mother and she attempted
to rescue It, he knocked her down
four times. He finally let her alone and
she pulled the baby from the fire.
Amputation Of both legs above the
knee was necessary and the operation
was performed in the St Vincent
