scrlptions may be secured anywhere
In the United States, and votes will be
allowed In the same proportion as
though the orders were secured within
the district in which the contestant re
sides.
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.
Those who wish to compete In this
contest should clip out the nomination
blunk shown in advertisement, fill It out
properly and send to the Contest De
partment of The Georgian and News,
Atlanta, Ga., or clip out the five-vote
coupon following thl* article and send
to the above address, stntlpg that the
sender desires to compete In the 916,99a
contest. 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. If you desire to compete, there
fore, send In a nomination btank. or a
ten-vote coupon, together with as
surance of good standing from any
friend or relative of your community.
Instructions for Voting.
Votes are allowed on ail paid In ad

and News or coupons may Im» clipited
from each copy of the paper. The
number of vote* allowed on subscrip
tions of different lengths to the paper
will be found in the double-page ad
vertisement. The ballots issued on

only and must be polled before the ex
plratlon of the date printed on each
coupon. The ballots Issued on sub
scriptions may be polled at once or
withheld until the la*t day of the race,
If deidred.
Receipt books and advertising mat
ter will be sent to all contestants upon
request. This Is to enable candidate*
to tako subscriptions and receipt for
them themselves. There is nothing
compulsory about soliciting, but It can
bo readily realized that a new yearly
subscription, which counts for 2,400
votes, curries with It far more voting
value than the coupons clipped from
The Dally Georgian nnd News.
Enter the Race at Once.
Although the nominations do not
close in this contest until the race itself
has ended, It will be far better to get
Into the game right at the start and
make the most of every, minute, ns the
contest only extends over a period
eleven week*. November 14 to Feb
ruary 2, Inclusive—and those who get
the earliest start will have tho best op
portunity of'winning the main prize.

A thorough smi comprehensive report
lifcli shows wlmt admirable work has been
done during the past year by the Associated
nutrition wits made by the executive com
mittee of that urgmilxAtioir at the atintin!
meeting held Thursday afternoon In the
Council elmmber nt the c ity hall.
This meeting was the annual affair par
ticipated In by the member* of the organi
sation, nnd the report made to these mem
ber* called for the hearty approval of those*
present. This report was prepared by the
executive committee, consisting of !„ I?,
Hopkins, dm I rmn n; \Y. G. Raoul, It. J.
Guinn, II. L. Crumley and David Marx.
It Is easy to see that a vast amount of

Prize* Well Worth While.
The prize* offered by The Georgian
and News are the most liberal ever
made In a voting contest In thl* sec
tion of the country. The c apital prize
of $1,000 In cash I* large enough to
make the most skeptical sit up and take
notice. This amount of money will
place the recipient In business, buy a
neat little home, or serve as a nest egg
which will grow surprisingly within a
few year* If placed out at Interest.
Special Note to 8ubecribors.

OF COMMITTEES
The converting of takewood into a

the cemetery commission, members of
the cemetery committee, the assistant,

municipal burying ground.
No formal action was taken, but It
was the consensus of opinion that, if
legal objections do not prevent, Lake-
wood be converted Into a cemetery.
It Is proposed by the commission to
make the entrance in Pryor street and
to run the cemetery to Brownsville and
