ASK EXTENSION
Of STATE ROAD
VIA WAYCROSS
Several Counties Organizing to
Push Senator Sweat's Scheme
for Lengthening Line.

WAYCROSS, July 5.-Several
counties are discussing the organiza-
ton of an association for the purpose
Of promoting the suggested route for
the State railroad extension via Fort
Valley and waycross to st. Marys
and Jacksonville.
Right of way through nearly all
counties named by Judge Sweat in
his resolution before the Georgia Sen
ate will be given to the State, and
some counties have gone further and
agreed to use their convicts in build
ing the roadbed. This, II is argued,
will materially reduce the cost.
Waycross for a number of years
has hoped for the extension. Because
Of the low cost of constructing
road along what is known as the
ridge route of Georgia, which would
bring the road via Waycross, the ter
ritory traversed is among that in the
State undergoing most rapid develop
ment. The State owns vast termi-
nails already at ST. Marys and this is
a fact that it is thought VIII have
much weight with the commission IL
Governor Slaton appoints one.

AUGUSTA. July 5.--A large num-
Der of Augustans will attend the cor

PONY COMBAT REACHES
HOTTEST STAGE AS BONUS
CLUB OFFER IS CLOSE
Candidates Work Until Last Hour to
Take Advantage of Proposition.
Close Race Gives Every Youngster
Entered Chance for a Shetland.

1t is a weary office force in the
contest department Of The Georgian
and Sunday American.
Until midnight Saturday, the man
ager and his assistants tolled, re-
ceiving votes for the many boys and
girls who made strenuous effort to
take full advantage of the bonus offer
which closed as Sunday was ushered
In.
Generous offers of extra votes were
made for clubs of five subscriptions.
either yearly, half-yearly or quarter
~ and either for the daily alone, the
Sunday paper alone, or both in com
bination.
The contest manager gave his per-
sonal guarantee that no offer as gen
erous would be made from then on
to the end of the contest. Naturally,
there was every inducement for the
contestants to work their hardest
The result was gratifying, both to the
contestants and to the newspapers.
Hundreds of Subscriptions Come.
Literally hundreds of subscriptions
were turned in. Now comes the work
Of tabulating them, and grouping
each contestants returns into clubs
Of five. This will take several days
Of hard work. while the regular rOu-
tine of the Office must proceed unin-
terrupted. Possibly it may be next
Sunday before the bonuses will be
fully credited. But credited they will
be, and accurately.
Nearly all the contestants took a
day off" July 4, and were the guests
Of The Georgian and American at
Grant Park. At 10 o'clock Friday
morning the parade left the offices of
the newspapers in Alabama Street.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-07-06

There were nine of the % ponies in
line, all gaily bedecked with flags.
The contestants drove them, and it
IS safe to say that every boy and
girl who handled the reins made a
hrmer resolve to earn permanent pos
session of one of the ponies as a
result of this treat.
The ponies looked their best and
were the subject of admiring COM
ment all along the route.
Il know something about horses
and ponies remarked Darwin G.
Jones, manager of the Atlanta Clear
ing House, who made a special trip
to see the parade. Il want to remark
that it would be impossible to find
nine others as good in all Atlanta
They're fine little animals, among the
best | ever saw"
More Special Inducements.
While the great bonus offer for
clubs of five subscriptions has been
withdrawn, 1t is probable that there
will be early announcement of other
special inducements to contestants.
With the end of the contest rs DAYS
away, no one is to be allowed to loaf.
The pace from now on will be the
hottest yet made. From five to ten
contestants in every district are run
ming within a few votes Of each other.
And even the hindmost still has
chance to pass the leaders. 1t is any
ones race as yet in every district.
Perhaps never before was there as
close contest in Atlanta newspaper
dom, which is natural, since certain
ly never before were as valuable
prizes given.
Any boy or girl who wins one of
the ponies The Georgian and Amer
lean are giving away may we'll be
proud of the acquisition. And any
one who assists the contestants by
to The Georgian or
American will be satisfied at getting
the full value of his money.

SOUTH GEORGIA
To ASK SCHOOL
FOR 100 DEAF
Legislature Will Be Asked for Ap-
preparation to Establish Branch
of Cave Spring Institution,

Triton, July 5.-The urgent need
for a school for the deaf in South
Georgia is demonstrated by the sta
tistics furnished by the State school
census, which shows that of 362 deaf
children in the State, 1873 are in South
Georgia. There are approximately $50
deaf children in South Georgia who
are not attending school.
According to State Superintendent
of Schools NJ L, Britain the stalls
tics furnished by the State school CEN
sus taken in May are complete ex-
cept for four counties and twelve To-
cal systems, where the enumerations
must be made again. In LA coun-
ties there are 202 white and 124 COL
ored deaf children. OF these 102 white
and 81 colored are In South Georgia.
The counties and local systems not
enumerated will add twelve or fifteen
more to this number
Last year the total enrolment at
the Cave Spring School was 1888. OF
this number less than fifty were from
South Georgia, leaving approximately
$50 deaf children in South Georgia
to whom the liberal appropriation
for the institute at Cave Spring is
practically worthless. It is to rem
edy this that the Legislature will be
asked to pass a bill to establish a
branch school in South Georgia.
At a meeting held in Triton last
March an executive committee with
r. c. Postell of Triton, chairman, was
appointed to inquire into the need for
a school for the deaf in South Geor-
gia- Chairman Postell has called a
meeting Of this committee in the Tiff
ton Chamber Of Commerce rooms
Monday afternoon, July Z, at o'clock.
The purpose Of the meeting is to
frame a bill providing for the es-
adjustment Of such a school and to
arrange for its Introduction.

CredULity and Delay Dangers
That Front POM Contestants

Remember, there is not a contestant
in any district who can not be passed
mo one has a lien on a pony as yet.
All the world loves loVer-also a
winner. Get out in front and your
friends will be much more inclined to
help you.
1t is not the coupon clipper, but the
subscription hustler who will get the
pony in your district.
One six months subscription is
worth more than two three months
subscriptions, and a yearly subscrip-
ton is worth more than two six
months subscriptions. Direct your
energies accordingly.
1t takes work to Wn-We couldn't
give prizes worth while for nothing.
There are two slippery places for
the bows and girls who are striving
for The Georgian and The American
ponies. One of them is delay. The
other is credulity. The most danger
Gus is delay. for while the contestant
delays his rival is busy.
CredUlity is almost as bad. II Grip
pies boys and girls like paralysis, If
the contestant believes all he hears Of
the marvellous gains made by other
candidates it will take the spirit out
of him. and he will not be worth half
as much as before
Another danger is taking a day
off" There is not a day to lose! The
big bonus offer closes July o, and the
contest itself will be over July 81.
July 81 is not so far away.
There will be no sympathy for the
boys and girls who might have won,
but who took it easy" after they
thought they were safe"
No one is safe.
The winner in any district is likely
to come from the rear ranks.
Keeping everlastingly at 1t brings
success

To the candidate in this district
