The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1913-04-17
SECOND COUNT, MONDAY, APR. 21
The Count For Special Prize Will
Have No Bearing Upon the Ques-
tiOn AS to Who Will Win At the
Final Count Which Will Be Made
About June.

On Monday evening, April 21st, at
7.30 o'clock the ballot box in The
Herald Popular Voting Contest will
be closed for the second count for
leadership in one of the most inter-
esting events which has been pulled
off in Bamberg. In this contest the
candidate who has made the greatest
gain since the first count of month
ago will receive the $40 trimmed
hat to be given by The Millinery
Store. No matter what your stand
ing may have been at the conclusion
of the first count, if you make a great
er gain over that count than any
other candidate you will win the hat
For instance, if you had but 35 votes
in the count made March Oath, and
you made a larger gain than the
leader, you will get the hat. If you
make a gain of $4,000 or 10000 or
$4,000, and the leader in the first
count makes gain of only one less
than you, you will have the hat cinch-
ed for yourself. So get busy and
bring in all the votes possible be-
tween now and Monday, April 21st.
A little exertion and hustllng
among the contestants is what is re-
quired to win, and the one who is the
most active and who uses the best
Judgment and business sense in her
canvass is the. one who will land the
prize. 1t will come without the ex-
penditure of a penny to the one who
captures the prize, but eternal hust-
ling will be the price of success. Are
you going to win it? Or are you
going to take vacation and let the
other girl beat you to it? And prob
ably by a very few votes at that?
Whatever number of votes you may
have in the second count will be
placed to your credit in the final
count which will be made in June,
but if you make the greatest gain
now you will land the $40 hat
which is offered as special prize
at the count on Monday, April 21st.
And all the votes cast during the en-
tire contest will determine WHO is
to get the piano-these special
counts cutting no figure in the grand
final round up. There is nobody so
far ahead, according to the first
count, but what little hustllng on
the part of the other contestants
would place them right up among
the leaders. New subscribers are
what count the most in this contest,
because for every new subscriber
brought in, the person bringing IT
in is entitled to 600 votes, and 500
votes is given for each renewal.
Bear in mind that the ballot box
will be closed at 7.30 o'clock Monday
evening, April 21st. Be sure and
nave all your votes in by that time,
so YOU will have had fair chance
to show what your standing Is. AS
soon as the ballot box is closed the
count will be made and the result
announced as quickly as it is known.
