The Hustler Democrat voting
contest is now on the final stretcn {
and will most positively close at
5 P. m. Saturday, April 25th.
just about three more weeks of
active work and some one viii
ride home In a brand new Rock
Bill buggy as the happy winner Of
the capital prize. Another con-
testant, second IN the race, will be
the smiling winner of the three
piece par1or set Of furniture and
the third highest In the race will
the purchaser Of $500 in mer-
lchandise from one Of the mercan
tile stores Of Henderson, vile.
From present indications these
prizes will be won with more ease
and less work than ever offered IN
a newspaper subscription contest
III this county In fact unless
someone not already In the con-
test enters (and from the new
scale of votes it can be seen that
by only little hard work any one
could get the lead into a three
weeks systematic work or if the
present contestants do not make a
considerable gain upon their pres
ent standing, this contest will
surely be an unsuccessful one from
"a financial standpoint.
Whether a financial success or
not the prizes have been purchas-
ed and will be given absolutely
free to the persons holding the
largest number Of votes Saturday,
April 25th at 5 p. m.
There was never an opportunity
Ike this for the securing OF so
handsome a 500 Rock Hill bug
gy at such a small cost. Read the
Gale of votes below and figure how
easy you could double. the num-
Der of votes of the highest con
testant in the race. It's simply
ridiculous if some live person does
not get busy and win this buggy.
The art of getting votes is nothing
new. You simply have to ask
your friends to renew his or her
subscription to the Western Care
lima Democrat or find some one
who does not take the paper and
get a new subscriber. ~
Specialize on 1ong-term sub
scriptions. Get several of your
friends to take the paper at least
5 years and every subscription Of
this kind you get 10000 votes.
For a ten years subscription yon
get 100000 votes, nearly twice
the number Of the leading con-
testant.
We expect quite number o.
new contestants this week whose
names have not been mentioned
before. 1t will be harder for Their
at first than those now in the race
but there is going to be something
doing in short order and those in
the race now had better round up
their friends and tell them do It
now or never for the votes will
positively not be changed from the
scale printed below according TO
the four periods.
Period "A" is by far the best
and should be taken advantage OF
at once by all the contestants.
Period "B" is not so bad and will
make many changes in the stand
ing of the contestants by April
18th. Period "C'' votes will be
getting very small, but owing to
The increased efforts Of the con-
5estants at this stage Of the con-
-est, they will make good count
1t the close of. same. April 25th, at
o. m. Period Cd" is simply the
original scale Of votes and will
prevail for hours before the clos
ng hour.
The votes will be counted by q
committee of gentlemen repre-
;enting the three banks of the city
md within a few minutes after
he close the successful winners
viii be announced.
It was only on account Of the
severe weather we have had the
,ast months that the contest has
asted this long. We do not
,elieve in letting it lag for one
minute. The weather is far bet
er now and several of the con
are making house to
louse canvass In their respective
ections. IF your friend IN the
zee should have not been to see
-ou yet, do not wait, but just call
d at the office and pay up your
