THE AID. SPELLING CONTEST.

Yes, the answers to the advertised |
mis-spelled words in last weeks Cou- |
rier came n-140-odd Of them. A lot |
were handed in at the office, more Of |
them came through the mail from |
all parts Of the county, and few !
from both North Carolina and Geor-
ga And, taken as whole, 1T was
well-gotten-up bunch Of replies |
that came into our hands for con-
sideraton.
Mr.. Gribble, tho advertising man !
who worked up the contest, left no |
instructions as to whether answers
were to be in manuscript or could be |
typewritten, and we found 1t abso- |
lutely impossible to grade manu-
script letters by the same standards
rs those that apply to typewritten
matter. Therefore, In justice, as 1t
seems to us, to all contestants, we
have taken the liberty of dividing
the prizes into two sections-manu-
script and typewriter specimens. We
believe this will prove satisfactory
to all contestants.
OF the 142 replies received, AZ
contestants gave all the mis-spelled
words along with the correct spell
ing Of them. Thirty-eight OF these
correct replies were In manuscript
and eight were written on the type
writer. OF the remaining 100 re-
plies no one had all the words cor
rected properly, the range Of inaccu-
racies being from one to nine incor-
rect answers.
So that each contestant who had
an error or errors in his or her list
submitted may see just wherein he
or she "fell down." we give below
the complete list OF advertisers. The
miS-spglled word and tue correct ed
spelling IN each instance tho worh

submitted, according to our judg-
ment on careful consideration OF the
three points Of accuracy, neatness
and time Of receipt, were submitted
by the following:

Walhalla - One-half Of tho
ocSOHu t'IlZo UU
(2d)-Miss Lila r. Reeder. OF
Westminster, S. G. = One
half OF Second Prize. 81 90
These prizes we're fixed by Mr..
Gribble at $500 for the first prize
and $2.00 for The second prize. But
since he failed to specify that the
replies must be In manuscript form,
and since we could find no way OF
accurately rcconciling Judgment
rs between manuscripts and typewrit-
ton matter. we have made this d.
vision OF tho prizes Otherwise we
would have had to throw out those
made on the typcwrIter. considering
only the manuscripts. This, 1t seems
to us, would hardly have been either
fare or fair to those who used
tho typewriter, since Mr.. Gribble did
not think to make the distinction.
Checks will be mailed out this az
ternoon to tho winners In The con-
test. We thank you! Now get to
work on the nve-weeks Palmafesta
contest for a representative at Palm
