These are the winners of the extra
troney prises offered In The Georgian's
popular voting contest for the candi
dates who hn.l secured the largest
number up to Saturday, December 14.
at 1# p. wt\"* ”■ •' 1
In accordance. with, the extra prtxe
plan, as originally announced, the actu
al number nt votes secured by the win
ners la not given, tha reason for this
lMlng that to announce the vtflea would
be an Injustice to these candidates,
with all candidates who have the right
to w.lthho|d votes Issued them until
Just before the close at the main con
test If they so desire. As repeatedly
explained by The Georgian,' the votes
are Issued upon subscriptions when
brought or sent Into The Georgian con
test department, but every candidate
has the rigid to cast them at any time
U|> to tho close of the contest. The ex
tra prises were offered upon n basis "f
tho votes secured on subscriptions only,
whether cast or not, and the list of
candidates end their ’ relative stand-
Ing, printed from time to time, gives
only the votes nrtually cost by each.
A new list fa printed In this Issue of
The Georgian, giving the latest stand
ing of candidates, on votes actually cast
l»\ It.CM,
TMg explanation Is repeated In order
that there may be no misunderstanding
of the matter In the mlnde of any of
those Intereated In the contest.
One of the best features of the ex
tra prixe offer Is that even though all
did not get one of the extra prtxes, yet
.there lx hardly a contestant In the en
tire race that did not receive some ben
efit through the effort to secure one of
the. extra prises and also through tbs
extra vote offer. Thousands of votes
went out ae reserves to the candidates,
end they are now holding them for
further use. So. If you see some one
top the list with reveml thousand votes
soma day, do not be the least bit sur
prlMdt
The vote list wblcb appears In Ibis
Issue shows that thers was some heavy
balloting during the past few days, as
It Is only three days since the Isut list
was published, and yet In tills list there
are over a quarter of a million votes
cast since the last announcement This
shows that there has been some great
work done by the conteetants lately
and that they are very much In the
race with the determination of winning
one of the prises.
Some of the contestants ore bound
t„ be a bit disappointed because they
did not win one of J he prises, but ail
could not win. It was very close, how.
ever, and In some of the esses It was
necessary to go ovsr the lists three or
four times to make sura that no mis
take had been mado In the votes, und
then to take another look to make sure
the figures were correct before signing
the order showing who had won the
prises.
Along with the announcement of the
winners made In this Issue, we ure go
ing to giro noma of the otber candi
dates s chance to wlp , extra money
prlxes by offering more 6t these extra
prlxes. This time we are making them,
larger than before so as to give every
one In tlie race something worth work
ing for during the holidays. Here it
the offer:
To the candidate who secures the
largest number of new three months’
subscript Ions during the coming two
weeks we will give $78 In gold; to tbe
candidate securing the second largest
number of new three months’ subscrip
tions. we will give $60. and to the can
didate securing the third highest num
ber of new three months' subscriptions,
we will give $25 In gold. This means
that we are going to double our first
offer, and that we have divided the
prises so that there will be three win
ners. and yet the prtxes wilt be well
v orth every effort that you may use
to win one .of them.
How la this offer for a New Year’s
present T Don't yon think It would be
pretty line to win any on# of these
prises In addition to securing tho many
additional votes that your work would
bring, thus putting you nearer to one
of the capital prlxes? We whuld like
to be shown any lady In the eonteet
who wouldn’t work hard for two weeks
with »udh an Incentive. You may be
the last candidate. In the contest, and
atlll have the same chance to win one
of these extra prlxes that any one of
the leaders has.
It’s the holiday season—and the spir
it of helpfulness and liberality Is In the
air. Subscriptions should come easier
than ever before and the votes pile up
mighty fast.
More Extra Votes Offered.
And here la anqtjier extra vote offer
that will go hand In hand with the
extra money prizes offered above, and
both will work together very effecflve-
ly:
On every new six-month subscription

which you bring or send us, we will
give you three hundred extra vote,,
and If you lend us a new yearly sub
scription. we will give you nix hundred
extra votes, Ihe yearly eubecriptlon
counting as four three-months sub
scriptions on the extra prize offer, uf
course, the six months’ subscription
will count as two subscriptions for
three months, and subscriptions for
more than one year will count In the
same proportion.
Now do not think because you did not
win one of the other extra prlxes
that you hava no chance In this, for
you have the same a» those who won
the other extra prtxes. Theae may have
seen all of their friends, and, therefore,
they may not he able to get half as
many votes or subscriptions aa you can.
Don’t let this chance slip by without
at lenst making an effort to win one
of the extra prliea. Remember that
you have all to gain and nothing to
lose, for you get the. extra votes
whether you win one of the extra
prlxes or not.
Now- Is the time for a little effort,
especially If you have Just entered the
race, for some of those who have been
In the race for eome time have gone
to sleep and are waiting for the prise to
drop Into thetr hands. So wake up and
show some of the others that you are tn
the race. There le room for every one
In the race, and those who do the work
now will 1m) the winners In the end.
Opportunity for New Candidates.
Candidates who have Just entered
the race have a chance td win one of
the prisee. for they have not seen any
of their frlenda, while aoml of the
others have seen nearly all of their
friends and have secured most of thetr
subscriptions and turned them In.
There le also a line chance for those
who have been entered but who have
not been working thus far In the race.
Suppose you arc In some one of the
districts where there ere a number of
leading candidates, and you would Ilka
to win a prise. This te your very op
portunity to do so, for you have a
chance to get a lot of extra votes
and nt the same time win one of the
extra prices which are being offered.
IVe want onca more to call your at
tention to tbe fact that thle will be the
last extra prixe offer tnnounow.
so if you fell to take advantage of this
offer you wilt have lost the chance of
the contest to win one of the extra cash
prtxes and also to Increase greatly your
vote. A little work now Is the thing
for you to do. so get busy and see your
friends today.
The merry Yuletlde bring* cheer to
moat every one. so ere your friends now
and jft subscriptions from them. They
are happy and they will bo more than
pleased to make you happy tn turn by
giving you a year’s subscription to The
Georgian.
During the past year eome of your
good friends may have gone tn other
parts of the country, and they would I
be delighted to reed the hews from At
lanta. and you can readily see from
this that there is nothing more appro
priate then u, subscription to The
Georgian fnr a qhristmas present. Make
■unit of your friends happy and give
them a year's, subscription to the best
paper In Atlanta, for every one likes
to read a good, clean paper, and that la
what wo are offering. Make up your
mind to send them the paper today
for one year and rive the roles to
some one of the ladles now In the
contest, or enter your favorite’s name.
There It atlll plenty of time, and there
are plenty of prises for every one.
