THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY, MA Y17, 1913. Boys’ and Girls’ Letters Show Their Pluck and Determination to Win the Handsome Prizes Offered. t “Please send another book by return mall,” is getting to be almost aji hourly request in The Georgian and American office, where the let ter* from boys and girls in the pony outfit contest are coming in by the bale. The “book” referred to, of course, is the one used in recording subscriptions and votes. An out-of-the-State contestant writes, “I see I am ahead; believe me, I am going to stay right out in front,” and to make good his prom ise, he forwards a big batch of votes. “You bet your life my town wins a pony,” write another rather slangy young contestant. He, too, is making a great race, and his fel low townsmen are helping him, through friendship and local pride, which makes a strong combination in his favor. Another little girl from out in Georgia sends in 7,500 votes with the single word, “Hurrah!” followed by a big explosive-looking star. So it goes. Enthusiasm is increasing daily, the votes are piling up at a great rate. Names and standing of contestants are below: District Number One.

Threatened to Get Another Witness. “While in New York this week on a business trip." said a well-known Atlanta man, “I ran across an inci dent that was rather amusing. “A man who was apparently a lawyer was talking earnestly with a man at his side in an elevator in a downtown building In which there are many law offices. I heard the lawyer say: “‘Remember, court opens at 10:30 o'clock. I want you to be in my office at 9 o’clock, and if you are not there I’ll get another witness.’” The Requisites Of a Song Hit. “Fortunes in song writing.’’ says an advertisement now appearing in magazines throughout the country, and many are lured by it. But those who have tried know the disappoint ments of the song writer striving *.o induce a publisher to look at his work. For those who would try here is a tip from one who has made good: "If your song is to make a hit, the air must be hard to remember, though catchy and pleasing. If it can be tvhistled by anyone who hears it once or twice, it will not sell, and the publisher will reject it.” His Excuse Was An Excellent One. “I was visiting a friend in New York not long ago,” said a promi nent real estate man, “and he took me around a good deal. He Is a lawyer and frequently we visited the courts together. “One day a man who had been summoned for jury duty in the Su preme Court went up to the clerk before the names of the talesmen were called and told why he thought he ought to be excused. When the judge mounted the bench the clerk said: “ ‘Your Honor. Mr. doesn’t think he ought to do jury duty on account of his business.’ ‘“What’s his business?’ asked the court, gruffly. “ ‘He’s a faro bank dealer,’ said the clerk. “ ‘Excused,’ said the court.” 1740 Ross Greer 23530 1650 1585 Harold Hamby 13825 j O.
