25 DAYS MORE IN CONTEST
PONY COMBAT REACHES
HOTTEST STAGE AS BONUS
CLUB OFFER IS CLOSED
Candidates Work Until Last Hour to
I ake Advantage of Proposition.
Close Race Gives Every Youngster
Entered Chance for a Shetland.
It Is a weary office foroe In the
contest department of The Georgian
and Sunday American.
Until midnight Saturday, the man
ager and his assistants tolled, re
ceiving votes for the many boys and
girls who made strenuous effort to
take full advantage of the bonus offer
which closed as Sunday was ushered
In.
Generous offers of extra votes were
made for clubs of five subscriptions,
either yearly, half-yearly or quarter
ly, and either for the daily alone, the
Sunday paper alone, or both in com
bination.
The contest manager gave his per
sonal guarantee that no offer as gen
erous would be made from then on
to the end of the contest. Naturally,
there was every inducement for the
contestants to work their hardest.
The result was gratifying, both to the
contestants and to the newspapers.
Hundreds of Subscriptions Come.
Literally hundreds of subscriptions
were turned in. Now comes the work
of tabulating them, and grouping
each contestant’s returns into clubs
of five. This will take several days
of hard work, while the regular rou
tine of the office must proceed unin
terrupted. Possibly it may be next
Sunday before the bonuses will be
fully credited. But credited they will
be and accurately.
Nearly all the contestants took a
"day oft" July 4, and were the guests
of The Georgian and American at
Grant Park. At 10 o’clock Friday
morning the parade left the offices of
the newspapers In Alabama Street.
Credulity and Delay Dangers
That Front Pony Contestants
Remember, there is not a contestant
in any district who can not be passed
—no one has a lien on a pony as yet.
AH the world loves a lover—also a
winner. Get out in front and your
friends will be much more inclined to
help you.
It is not the coupon clipper, but the
subscription hustler who will get the
pony in your district.
One six-months’ subscription is
worth more than two three-months'
subscriptions, and a yearly subscrip
tion is worth more than two six
months' subscriptions. Direct your
energies accordingly.
It takes work to win—we couldn’t
give prizes worth while for nothing.
There are two slippery' places for
the boys and girls who are striving
for The Georgian and The American
ponies. One of them is delay. The
other is credulity. The most danger
ous is delay, for while the contestant
delays his rival is busy.
Credulity' Is almost as bad. It crip
ples boys and girls like paralysis. If
the contestant believes all he hears of
the marvelous gains made by other
candidates it will take the spirit out
of him. and he will not be worth haif
as much as before.
Another danger is "taking a day
off.” There is not a day to lose! The
big bonus offer closes July 5, and the
contest itself will be over July 31.
July 31 is not so far away.
There will be no sympathy' for the
boys and girls who might have won.
but who “took it easy” after they
thought they were “safe.’’
No one is safe.
The winner in any district is likely
to come from the rear ranks
Keeping everlastingly at It brings
success.

s There were nine of the 22 ponies in
i line, all gaily bedecked with flags.
The contestants drove them, and it
is safe to say that every boy and
girl who handled the reins made a
■ firmer resolve to earn permanent pos-
I session of one of the ponies as a
result of this treat.
1 The ponies looked their best and
were the subject of admiring com-
I ment all along the route.
“I know something about horses
and ponies,” remarked Darwin G.
> Jones, manager of the Atlanta Clear
ing House, who made a special trip
to see the parade. T want to remark
that it would be impossible to find
! nine others as good in all Atlanta.
They’re fine little animals, among the
best I ever saw.”
More Special Inducements.
While the great bonus offer for
clubs of five subscriptions has been
withdrawn. It is probable that there
will be early announcement of other
special inducements to contestants.
With the end of the contest 25 days
away, no one is to be allowed to loaf.
The pace from now on will be the
hbttest yet made. From five to ten
contestants in every district are run
ning within a few votes of each other.
And even the hindmost still has a
chance to pass the leaders. It is any
one’s race as yet in every district.
Perhaps never before was there as
close a contest in Atlanta newspaper
dom. which is natural, since certain
ly never before were as valuable
prizes given.
Any boy or girl w’ho wins one of
the ponies The Georgian and Amer
ican are giving away may well be
proud of the acquisition. And any
one who assists the contestants by
subscribing to The Georgian or
American will be satisfied at getting
the full value of his money.

ASK EXTENSION
OF STATEROAO
VIAWAYCROSS
Several Counties Organizing to
Push Senator Sweat’s Scheme
for Lengthening Line.
WAYCROSS, July s.—Several
counties are discussing the organiza
tion of an association for the purpose
of promoting the suggested route for
the State railroad extension via Fort
Valley and Waycross to St. Marys
and Jacksonville.
Right of way through nearly all
counties named by Judge Sweat in
his resolution before the Georgia Sen
ate will be given to the State, and
some counties have gone further and
agreed to use their convicts In build
ing the roadbed. This, it is argued,
will materially reduce the cost.
Waycross for a number of yeara
has hoped for the extension. Because
of the low cost of constructing a
road along what Is known as the
ridge route of Georgia, which would
bring the road via Waycross, the ter
ritory traversed is among that in the
State undergoing most rapid develop
ment. The State owns vast termi
nals already at St- Man s, and this Is
a fact that it is thought will have
much weight with the commission it
Governor Slaton appoints one.
