ONLY THREE MORE DAYS LEFT OF
LAST PRIZE BALLOT AND CLUB
OFFER IN THE GREAT CAMPAIGN
After today there remain only three
more days for candidates in The
Times-Recorder’s big subscription
campaign to get in subscriptions that
will count on the last prize and club
vote offers.
The prize ballots are ten in num
ber, from 100,000 votes up to one mil
lion votes,' and are to be given to the
ten candidates who turn in the larg
est amounts for the two weeks ending
April 19, regardless of districts, or
of what has been turned in before. For
instance, if a candidate in either dis
trict who had turned in very little
during the earlier part of the cai.
paign should turn in the largest
amount during these two weeks, she
would have awarded to her the high
est prize ballot, which is one million
extra votes, over and above the regu
lar and club votes on the individual
subscriptions.
The club vote, which is now run
ning, and which is also the last one
of the campaign, is 200,000 to the club
of $20.00. There is no limit on the
number of clubs any candidate may
send in. This offer also closes with
the last prize ballots, on the night of
April 19. It is understood in all the
offers that close on Saturday night
that candidates in District Two wil.
be givep until Monday morning to
get their business in. This is fair to
all, and gives candidates in District
Two the advantage of a working day
on Saturday.
Henry Stanfield, of Stanfield’s
Green Houses, is interested in the
Prize Ballot winners this time, and is
going to give each of the ten a mam
moth chrysanthemum plant.
The coupon vote appeared for the
last time yesterday, and all coupons
must be in by Saturday night, April
19. They will then be audited and
counted, and the last complete vote
standing will appear the early part
of the last week. This last standing
will represent the number of votes,
coupon and any others which have
already been cast by all candidates
This list will be given to the judges,
and the reserve votes the candidates
have on hand will be taken from the
ballot box and added to it. From the
total figures arrived at in this way
will the prizes be awarded by the
judges in the order in which they
come.
The last and largest surprise of
the drive is the Second Payment and
New Features. The announcement at
the beginning contained the rule that
a second payment on a subscription
during the campaign would receive all
the votes that the first one did. It can
readily be understood that since th
votes were larger in the beginning
and have since declined, a second pay
ment on a subscription which was
pair early in the drive will necessa
rily get a large number of votes. For
instance, if a* person paid $3.25 for a
six months’ subscription at the be
ginning of the drive and the candidate
be permissible for this person to pay
an additional $2.75 and get the paper
for the year. In this case the can
didate would get 25,000 votes on this
second payment, because it would
complete the year and the schedule of
votes for a year in the first period
was 40.000. She had already received
15,000 on -the first half, which would
leave her the 25,000 on the second
half of the

She’s Found Crazy
ATLANTA, April 16.—John T. Dor
sey of Marietta, Solicitor of the Blue
Ridge Curcuit, says that he believes
Mrs. Naomi Campbell to be sane, and
adds that if the luacy commission,
now probing her sanity decides her to
be of sound mind, that five other
charges of cruelty against her will
be pressed.
Mrs. Campbell, in her cell, declares
that she is sane, and threatens to
"tear up her cell” if any board or
jury declares she is not.
Mrs. Campbell, who was convicted
in Cobb county several weeks ago for
cruelty to children in the Undenomi
national Home for Orphans, conducted
by her near Marietta, is fading a
sentence of two years in the State
prison. She was sentenced to one
year in each of two cases involving
cruel and inhuman treatment.

Primitive Station.
1 There is in England a railway sta
tion which has only one train each
way a week —at Blackwell Mill, situ
ated midway between Miller's Dale
- and Buxton. Blackwell Mill consists
1 of eight workmen’s cottage’s on the
banks of the Wye. They are occupied
by railway workmen, and it is for the
convenience of the wives who wish to
journey to Buxton for marketing that
, on Friday mornings the 9: 10 train
i from Miller’s Dale stops at Blackwell
i Mill. The two uncovered platforms of
| the “station” are of the length of a
j railway coach, and composed of rough
| stone and gravel. The “waiting room”
is a platelayer’s hut, where the trav-
I elers are glad to shelter from the keen
, wind on winter mornings. The train
I carries the stationmaster, who distrib
utes the privilege tickets.
Loops the Loop in a Storm at Sea.
Looping the loop in a kite balloon
, was the hair-raising feat performed
some'time since by a young balloon-
1 , Ist when the government was testing
i the use of captive balloons on battle-
I ships doing convoy work, according to
• a story In Popular Mechanics Maga
zine. The balloonist in question had
been aloft in his basket several hours
despite very rough weather when a 40-
mile gale struck the fleet. Instantly
the gas bag made a spinning nose
dive, swinging the basket and occu
pant through a complete circle. No
sooner was one loop completed than
another and another followed —fifteen
i la all.
