date of the beehive picture contest.
| All answers to the contest must be
mailed on or before that date. All
| answers not received at this office
on or before Tuesday, must be post
marked at the office of mailing not
later than June 10th. Kindly bear
| this in mind, contestants, and be sure
that your answers are mailed in time.
The picture puzzle contest has
proved to be quite a popular feature
| in Bamberg county and surrounding
territory, and numerous persons have
found much amusement and enter
tainment in finding b-words.
Inasmuch as many of the contest
ants have waited until the last week
| to send in their answers, We offer
word for their benefit, as it may not
be possible to reach them before the
contest closes in any other way:
Read the rules carefully, prepare
your answers neatly, and use one
side of the paper only; although no
answers will be disqualified because
of using both sides of the paper, but
it will save us much time if only one
side is used Number your words
from 1 on up.
AS we have stated previously,
everyone, white or colored, may send
in answers, and all will be treated
alike, strictly on their merits. AS to
whether or not subscription is in
cluded will have no bearing on the
award of the prizes, but it will de-
termine the amount of the prize.
You may send in your answers
without any subscription if you like,
but by inclosing a one, two or three
year subscription, or one subscription,
for one, two or three years, the prizes
are increased according to the scale
published in the contest advertise
ment. There are positively no strings
tied to this contest. The editors Of
The Herald do not know the correct
answers to the puzzle picture and will
not know until the contest closes,
therefore we could not, if we wanted
to, offer any suggestions other than
those included in the contest adver-
tisement. A master list of words will
be furnished by the artist who drew
the picture, after the goth of June,
and this master list will be used in
arriving at the correct or nearest cor
rect list of words submitted. AS
stated in the advertisement, margin
of Is words will be allowed for an
honest difference Of opinion concern
ing any objects shown in the picture.
While all answers must be mailed
on or before next Tuesday, it will
probably be two weeks later before
the award of prizes can be announced,
as it will require several days to go
over the numerous lists submitted.
In the meantime, if any contestant
who has submitted a list of words
without enclosing subscription cares
to do so, he or she may forward a
remittance and thus qualify for one
of the larger prizes in the event of
winning. The Herald will accept re-
mittances until Tuesday, June 27,
provided the list is submitted by June
goth. If you. have submitted
List and sent no subscription,
and you care to take ad-
vantage of this offer, send your
subscription or subscriptions not later
than Tuesday, June 27> Subscrip-
tions mailed after that date cannot
be credited on the contest answers.
We want to make this plain, how
ever: Enclosing a subscription Will
have positively no bearing on Wlnn-
ing the prizes. If your list of words
entities you to first prize, you Will
receive a check for $500, If no sub
scription is sent, and if subscrlp-
ton is sent, the prize will be increas-
ed to s25, s35 or $50, according to
the amount of your subscription.
We think the matter is clear to
everyone now, and this is the last no
tice that will appear in regard to the
contest picture. Fix up your list, be
sure you have it according to the
rules, and mail it today, with or with
out subscription, as you see fit. The
winners will be announced just as
soon as possible; we cannot fix the
exact date at this writing.
And you may qualify your answer
with subscription not later than
June 27, or you may increase your
subscription already sent in, If you
wish.
