INTEREST HIGH
IN LAST PRIZE
BALLOT RACE
It is apparent that the Second Prize
Great Subscription Campaign, will be
even more popular than the first. A'
great amount of this interest is at- |
tributed to the fact that both Districts'
One and Two will compete for the Grand
Prize Ballot which is one million votes
and also for the other nine. It is al
ways expected that competition, in
creases enthusiasm and interest, and
the race for the second Prize Ballots
is expected to be even keener than the 1
first.
These Prize Ballots which are now ,
offered are ten in number, the first one '
million extra votes, and so on down to ;
100,000. They are awarded to the can- !
didates turning in the largest amounts :
in this period, which ends April 19.
The candidates turning in the very
largest amount gests the one million
votes, and so on down.
The Extra Special club votes in this
offer are 200,000 for every club of
$20.00. This is also the last club
offer. After April 19 there will be no
more club votes.
The coupon vote which is appearing
daily, will decrease to 200 Wednes
day and will then run for two more
weeks, after which it will cease to ap
pear. Near the close of the campaign,
there will be no Club Prize, or Coupon
votes.
Those candidates, and there are a
good many of them, who are up and in
the running, and who feel that they
will be among the winners realize
that their best efforts these two weeks
will probably decide the race for some.
Some feel nothing stands between them
and success, since only one little sub
scription might be the deciding point
in the winning of the Dort car.
Some are complaining that their
fields are already closely worked. But
according to figures on subscribers be
fore the campaign, compared with the
number of subscriptions that have
been turned in, there is still even ;
large number of old subscribers who
have not paid.
In addition there are many new
prospects, some of whom probably’ are
new-comers to Americus and Shmter,
who are yet not well acquainted, who
would gladly take the local paper if
only asked. There is no doubt that
new subscriptions from now on to the
end of the drive will be the greatest
chance, and all candidates' ire putting
their efforts towards gettin gthese peo
ple.
If you happen to be among the num
ber who are not now subscribers to the
home paper, drop in today, or mail
your subscriptions and the votes on
the Dort Touring Car will be issued
and delivered to your favorite with
your compliments.

CHINA HAS fl VERY
IMPORTAHT ROLE
I
PRACTICALLY ONE HUNDRED AND
FIFTY THOUSAND COOLIES
SENT TO FRANCE.
What optimist a generation ago
would have thought that backward
China would have a hand in the settle
ment of a world war? But China is
having a very important role in the
great war that is just being brought
to a close. Not as soldiers—fighting
men—but as laborers behind the front
line trenches. And just so many al
lied troops have been released for
other duties. Practically one hundred
and firfy thousand of these cooltes
have been transported byway of the
Suez to France. This work has been
done under the direction of the British
Government and Church Missionaries.
Among these missionaries are many of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
which is just finishing the details of
its campaign May 18-25 to secure $35,-
000,000 to further work of the kind that
is being done in France and other
places-
