THE CONTEST

The Hustler's great Popularity
Contest is the talk of the town,
especially among the young peo-
pie. nfact a number of old pee
pie are more or less interested in
who will win the beautiful dia-
mond ring and other valuable ar
ticles.
Many material changes in the
standings will take place this
week. Candidates who have just
begun to work are going to do
their best this week. This is the
last week that the Daily Hustler
is going to be sold for fifty cents
for the rest of the season. After
this the price will be less, there
by reducing the number of bonus
votes. So here she goes, a word
to the wise is sufficient. While
we have added nearly a hundred
new subscribers to the Daily
Hustler and the French Broad
Hustler during the contest, yet
there are a great many more new
subscribers expected this week.
Late Saturday evening a young
lady phoned to the office from
one of the neighboring towns
saying that she had a bunch of
new subscribers that she would
send in today. Unless the can
didates get out and work for
themselves just a little they will
never reach the goal. What the
office wants, and what the can
didate needs, is results"
