The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1910-12-13

I'm order to make The Herald and
News contest more interesting and ex-
citing the popular and up-to-date mer-
chants, Messrs Caldwell and Haiti
wanger, owners Of Newberry's largest
departrneut store, have made a very
interesting offer of a handsome $500
silk paraso1 to be given to the contest
amt bringing in the largest number
Of subscriptions for The Herald and
News between today.s December l3,
and Christmas Eve, December "a.
Now this is a most liberal offer and
coming from this f1rst-class firm and
at this time Of the season is a big IN
dueement to spur you on to victory.
This excellent offer from these
popular merchants was made through
the contest manager while paying a
visit to this leading store, and taking
a peep at their wonderful stock OF
thoroughly up-to-date goods and mag
nifcent line of Christmas novelties.
This beautiful prize adds to the en-
thusiasm already shown by the en-
thusiastic contestants.
Much excitement, and hot yet
friendly rivalry is now being shown,
come in and help Us make things
warm.
OF all the pleasures that nadure has
given men is the power to enjoy, the
heenest is derived from fair contest.
To the winner in any honest rivalry
where wit is pitted against wit, effort
against effort, endurance against en-
durance, there is satisfaction not to
be found in any other pleasures. ..-
/, The sense of superiority thus Sc
cured is the only sense OF superiority
that is landab1e and bears no resem-
blance ito vanity, which is engendered
by wealth of mere success or physical
strength or charm. The loser In
fair contest is yet winner by the men
tai development a, Quired by contest
ing gallantly agajnIt keen opposition.
To the winner in our voting contest
the pleasure of the struggle will be
equal to the magnigcence Of the prizes.
Excitement is now ripe. You want
to get into the fight at once. Let US
suggest that you organize your
forces. Get in the lead and stay in
The lead, the prize is too valuable to
lose when it costs nothing to win.
No one interested in The Herald and
News will be allowed to vote, and
will have no interest in who Wis the
prize, it is a. fair for all contest, where
the most popular contestant must win
out.
Three of the representative citizens
Of our community will rul up tne
talley sheets and see that all the votes
are fairly cast, so it can not be any
thing but fair.
This week has developed number
of new candidates that have gone to
work with a vim and marked energy
that gives warning to those enthus-
iastic contestants now in the lead To
hustle, hustle, hustle. Although from
the standing Of the candidates It seems
that the first two have a good lead
but I Will say for the benefit OF 9TH
ers, when you note the scale OF votes,
it REQUIRES only few subscriptions TO
put you up, and beyond the present
leadere. To show you how earnestly
one contestant started to work, IN
less than ten minutes after being
nominated she turned in fifteen hun
drA7 ~ntas. Now this IS the spbr1t
that wins. So look out
Don't stop to argue why you
shouldn't win, but
Hang on, cling on, mo matter what
trey say,
P,eih on, sing on, things will come
your way.
Sitting down and whining never
helps a bit,
Best way to get there Is by keeping up
your grit.
