Votes will be allowed only on paid In advance subscriptions, and a request for ballots must be mude at the time the subscription Is paid. Each district in the entire contest Is separate and distinct from all others, and all any contestant lm* to do to win a first prize is to secure the largest number of votes of all contestants In hi* or her own particular district. The candidate securing the second largest number of votes In each of the thirty districts will receive a scholarship or a 960 diamond ring or a watch. All Have Equal Chance. It should be borne In mind that when any candidate enters this race she Is not competing against all contestants In the contest, but only those who aro entered In her own particular district. Especial attention Is called to the .di vision of districts as published In the double-tmge advertisement appearing elsewhere in this Issue. Read It over •arefulty and determine wlllch division you are In !>efore sending In your name. According to the districts, as divided, those residing In country localities will not he competing against city aspirants, or vice versa. This ruling gives the residents of smaller towns In Georgia the same opportunity to win os resi dents of cities. Distribution of Prizes. The contest has been divided Into thirty districts so that eveiy lady who enters the contest will have the same equal opportunity to win as the other candidates. Women residing outside of the clt>\ of Atlanta will be given the safne chance to win one of the prizes, as the ladles of Atlanta will have, as the district prises Insure nearly every one who enters one of the prize*. The § district prises will -be awarded a* follows: Thirty candidates who receive the highest number of votes in their par ticular district will be given either one of the pianos or one of the trips to Uuba. this trip including all expenses from the time you leave until you return. These are the first prizes In each dis trict, but as there are only ten pianos and twenty trips every one can not have a piano who comes first in her district, so it will depend upon who gets the most votes among the district leaders as to who will carry off the hole© of the pianos and trips. In the state. Some of the scholarships will be good for a musical course and some for business, while others will be good for a course In telegraphy. The ones who stand highest among the sec ond In each of the districts will, of course, have a choice. For instance. If you are second In your district, but some one of the candidates In other dis tricts have more votes than you have and they are second in their districts, they will receive a choice before you, vice versa. For third prizes in each of the dis tricts we have secured fifteen diamond rings nnd fifteen gold watches, so that you may have your choice; that Is, If you are In the lead among those who are third In the district*. Anyway, If you come In one, two or three In your district you are sure to win some one of the fine prizes that are being offered Grand Prizes Worth While. The first capital prize will bo the 91,000 In gold, w'hlch will be given to the candidate who secures the large*t number of vote* In the entire contest, regardless of district limitations. How ever, the one winning this prize will have the privilege of taking either the cash or the touring ear. The 92,009 touring car Is second prize, and will be awarded the candidate securing the second highest number of votes In the •ontest, regardless of district limita tion*. The third capital prize will bo the runabout and will be given to the candidate who secures the most votes In the entire contest after the other apital prizes have been awarded. How ever, one of the automobiles will be given to the districts in Atlantn and one will be given to the country, pro viding that one of the other capital prize* has not been awarded to some one In one of the district* outside of Atlanta. Instructions for Entsring Contsst.

It Is not absolutely necessary that a nomination blank be sent In, but It would facilitate matters If candi dates would do so, as The Georgian and New'* desires to keep the contest up to a high standard, and to avoid all possi bility of persons of questionable char acter entering the race, each contest ant should send in one or more refer ences. This Is a protection to those ho are entitled to compete and acts as a safeguard to all concerned. The Geor gian and News, of rourse. does not know all the people In the state, and when reference* are asked for R should not give offense In any sense of the word.
