The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1916-03-25

II the reader is laboring under the
misapprehension that The Daily Item
and the Watchman and southron's
Golden Festival and Voting cam
paign's pot is not boiling" he should
spend a few hours with the Cam
paign Manager and be enlightened
about the number of candidates he
talks to, hear the stories he hears,
count the votes he counts, and come
in contact with the enthusiasm he en-
counters in the course of days bus
mess.
After having done this it would be
but little trouble to figure out that
only the willing workers, those who
will not allow the present opportun-
ity to pass unimproved, will share in
the distribution Of the magnificent
prizes at the close Of this campaign.
or course the only really important
thing just now is to lay away as many
Extra Votes as possible. Remember

teen Dollars ($15.0O) in Yearly sub

for 10000 votes in addition to the
regular scale will be given. Also re-
member all yearly subscriptions turn
ed in since the beginning Of the cam

You may turn in your subscriptions as
rapidly as you secure them. 1t is not
necessary to complete club before
the names are sent in to this office.
You may send in one subscription at a
time. and they will apply on this Of
fer.

Once upon q time, as all stories
start, there was a little girl by the
name Of Elizabeth, seven years of
age. who was starting her second year
at the public schools. AS the pu-
pills filed in the first day, they noticed
q motto which the teacher had writ

first you don't succeed, try, try again."
This motto haunted Elizabeth the day
through. and that evening as she
knelt to say her prayers, beginning:
Now I lay me down to Sleep" she
tackled on to the end Of the prayer:
Please bod, make me a good little
girl. If at first you don't succeed,
please try, try again."
Now this motto holds true with the
candidates in the Golden Festival
and Voting Campaign. If you don't
succeed today in securing enough
yearly subscriptions, to get one of
those 10000 voting certificates, and
q great many will not; then try again
and "keep-a trying" 1t is an oppor-
