GREAT VOTING CONTEST.
First Count Postponed to March 9th
$40 in Gold Given Away.

Owing to the continued inclement
weather and the consequent inability
of the contestants to make an effort
to get out and get business, it has
been decided to postpone the first
count until March oath, at 7:3O p.
M, in order to give any and all con-
testants an opportunity to make the
showing that they feel that they can
make with anything like a fair
chance
Let us say to you contestants that
in a great many instances your
friends are making a determined ef-
fort in your behalf, and it only re-
quires little endeavor on your part
to place your lead to such a point
that it will be hard to overcome. A
great number of you no doubt en-
tertain the idea that any work on
your part entails lot of time that
you, especially those in school, can
i'll afford to give. This is an error.
The time that is required to make
this contest a successful venture for
you is very little.
We believe that We can say with
approximate correctness that any con-
testant that will devote one hour a
day to this contest Of determined
work will in the end win this piano.
Now, isn't this worth your while?
Here is an instrument that is worth
at retail $500 and is conceded to be
an instrument second to none IN
workmanship and tone by the very
best and most eXacting musical
critics. Now. why not get out and
win it and thus take advantage of
an opportunity of life time?
Your friends will all be willing and
glad to help you as soon as they see
you are making a determined effort
for yourself. All the votes you get
are not the ones you cast yourself.
Your many friends are continually
doing all they can for you and just
in proportion to the effort you make
will be the measure of their endeavor
in your behalf and this office will do
anything it can to give you assist
ance. Call on us and We will give
you any information that you may
not be clear on, furnish you with the
necessary receipt books, and get you
started so that you can make a sue
cessful campaign. We will also sup
ply you with a list of the subscrib-
ers whose subscriptions are expired
or that will soon expire, also the
names of all persons in Bamberg
that are not taking the paper, so that
YOU will be able to work intelllgently
and with the minimum amount OF
labor. Select from these lists the
names of your friends and then go
and get their subscriptions. Don t
you see at a glance how easy it will
be? And another thing, have your
friends trade at the stores giving the
voting coupons and then you have
them saved for you or voted for you.
The following bonus offer will be
given on all subscriptions that are
turned into this office between now
and 7:3O p. m, March Oath, 1913:
For every 7 new subscribers, 4,2OO
votes plus 1000 bonus-Total g.

Anderson Lady Attacked.

Anderson, March "a young lady
of prominent family was attacked by
a man as she was walking down East
Orr street on her way home, about
1870 o'clock tonight.
The lady described the man as be-
ing travelling salesman out of Bal
timore, whom she had seen several
times to-day in the Office building
where she is employed. The police
were notified and every precaution
was taken to prevent the suspected
man from escaping, but at 0 o'clock
tonight he had not been located.
The lady says she had gone only a
few yards off North Main street when
the man, from behind, grabbed her.
She jerked loose, bruising and
scratching her arm, and in the scuffle
she lost her hat. She ran as fast as
she could to her home, and on arriv-
ing there fell in faint. When she
had sufficiently recovered she gave
the officers a description of the man
and gave the name of the person she
thinks committed the attack.
The young lady is necessarily ex-
cited tonight, but no serious effects
are anticipated. The affair has caus-
ed excitement on the streets.

There Would Be Some Excitement IL
All the Laws Were Enforced.

In the April American Magazine,
in the department called THE Inter
prefers House." appears an exceed
ingly able and interesting discussion
of the police situation in our great
cities. Following is an extract:
IF the mayor and police of New
York should conspire to enforce for
forty-eight hours all the laws on the
statute books indiscriminately and
without respect of persons, there
would be lurid riot, and the militia
would patrol the streets. Doctor
Parkhurst Rabbi Wise and Mr.. Will
liam Randolph Hearst might grimly
stand their ground while, but ii is
ten to one that even they would be
swept into the temper of the mob.
For instance, there is law against
Sunday labor; but should the Obser-
yer, church member and vestryman
in regular standing, be hailed before
the magistrate though his clothes.
line on Sunday afternoon proclaim
to all Harlem that cleanliness is sup
planting godliness? No, we all in
stinctively felt that this irregularity
came within the purview of his con-
science and his rector. Or, there is
law against gambling-yet thing of
the Strong Arm Squad descending
upon a bridge party and battering
down the doors!
Inevitably, the laws which do not
represent the common conscience of
the race must be applied with discre-
ton and discrimination. II is a mis-
fortune of their unsound philosophy.
Discretion differs with executives.
Mayor van Wyck's discretion was I'M
like Mayor Gaynor's, and both are un
like Mayor Strong's or Mayor Lows
If Doctor Parkhurst were mayor, he
would discretion" heavily in some
directions and lightly in others. So
would Mr.. McAneny. Mr.. Tim Sulli-
van, Bishop Greer, or, for that mat
ter, anyone. But as long as this com
pulsory discretion exists.-as long.
namely, as the four-fush statute con.
fiicts with public opinion,-so long
the police, the working force of the
executive, will be subjected to more
severe temptation than society has
any right to put upon anyone. This
is no executives fault, and no exc
NuSA'O Noh iSiP IL ntot Ntlu pa
tons would be quite as urgent upon
the New York police force if Doctor
Parkhurst were mayor as they are
now. They do not depend upon the
character, energy or intentions of
any mayor. They arise-inevitably
arise-out of our hypocritical and
bungling philosophy of lawmaking.
AT present. our great and power
full cities are in theoretical bondage
to whatever general laws may De con
ceived by a rural majority in the leg
islature. Many such laws are incon-
sistent with sound economics, demo
cratic philosophy, or even democratic
ethics. AS such they are unenforce-
able, and the direct cause of the cor
ruption and inefiiciency that every
body deplores."

DECREE IN OLD PHONE SUIT
Judgment for Western Union in Ac-
