as a result of the cash commissions
allowed, and there are five chances
for one of those glorious trips, be-
sides many other prizes that may be
won.
Everyone Gets Paid
This is not a popularity scheme,
not an ordinary subscription contest
with the winner taking all and the
loser getting nothing, but a bona
fide, high class business proposition
in which no one loses, all are paid
in cash for work done and
many win big extra prizes. There are
so many prizes that it will be easy
for the most energetic to win the
best.
Many persons will recall that two
years ago the Times-Recorder gave
away a bort automobile in similar
campaign, but in which there was on
ly one grand capital prize, and in
which the city of Americus was i'm
cluded. In this campaign the city
of Americus, the people of which
/ receive their papers on the independ-I
ent city carrier boy system, is elm
mated. This will assure no advant-
| age whatsoever against any worker
elsewhere because of population. In
addition, there ane five grand prizes
| instead of one, and absolutely to
equalize all competition the territoryI
has been divided into five districts
as follows:
DISTRICT ALI of Marion coun-
| ty.
DISTRICT 2-An of Lee county.
DISTRICT 3-All of Terrell coun-
ty.
DISTRICT All of Stewart and
Webster counties.
DISTRICT 5-All of Schley and
Sumter counties outside of city of
Americus.
How 1t Works.
The five free trips will be award
ed, one to each of the named dis
tricts going to the worker LIVING
WITHIN the district having the
highest number of votes. Subscrip-
tions may be taken anywhere on
! earth, in any other district, but the
trip contest is between those within
each of the districts. For example,
all workers living in Marion county,
or district No. l, will compete for
the trip prize against each other, and
not against those of more populous
districts, being thus assured that
someone living within the county will
be awarded one of the Ilve trips.
: However, any Marion county work
er may solicit and receive subscrip-
tions anywhere she may choose. 1t

among her own friends and acquain-

This raises the point Of nominal
tons. Any one may nominate her
self or she may be nominated by y
| friend. With the nomination goes an
| initial vote of $4,000. This declares
the entrant in the race for the prizes
in addition to the cash conf
mission which she will collect on
all subscriptions received, whether
she wins a prize on the votes or not,
For the first yearly subscription re-
ceived, or the equivalent in two for
| six months each, a vote of 100000 is
given. This is the starter, and is
made large because the first one is
the hardest to get and should count
more. After the first it is easy
Won Auto Fairly
Referring again to the Times-Re-
| corder's campaign of two years ago,
everyone connected with it probably
| remembers that the automobile was
won by Miss Matte McNeill, of Sum-
ter county. Miss McNeiIl won it fair
| ly and honestly as she knows, SIM
ly by keeping at WORK. In this plan
of campaign there is no vote buying,
no last minute entry, no chance for
any but the deserving to win. This
is assured by the fact that the largest
votes come early in the cam
paign, and they are gradually reduc-
ed in value instead Of being increased,
until they are comparatively low to-
ward the close. Under the rules
there can be no combination of work.

| throwing their votes to another All
workers stand on their own records
and will be credited with votes turn
ed in only by themselves.
Every effort will be made to as
sure the strictest fairness and inn
partiality at all times. Our previous
campaign proved that it is possible to
conducts fair race and that the
Times-Recorder does exactly that.
More will be said from day to day
in detail about the prizes. At this
time it will be only mentioned that
the trip prizes will take the winners
