PACE IS HOI
District No. 7 Only One Lagging,
Positions May Change Quickly.
Last Bonus On.
Standing of the contestants 1n The
Georgian and American pon> contest
Is published Thursday, and again is i;
possible to see what remarkable gain?
have been made by the busy con
testants.
District No. 7. it seems. mus» “speed
up” if it ^s to get anything except
the last choice of the ponies, for
George Melton, with 110,125 votes, is
leading, and A. Morrison, with 106,-
000, is second, *
On the other hand. Herbert Chap
man in District No. 4 has rolled up
206,000 votes, And Fannie Mae Cook
and Florence Greenoe, with 204.000
and 202.000, are close behind, pursued
at no great interval by Eleanor Raoul,
Nathaniel Kay and Oscar Eugene
Cook.
Between these extremes are the
leaders of the various other districts.
In district No. 1 the leader, George
Rosser, has 205.000 votes, and Helen
Brantley is close behind with 201.000
votes. A field is closely bunched be
hind them
Standing Can Change Quickly.
The city carriers and newsboys
have been the most active, and Ross
Greer has 208.000 votes, with Ray
mond Wilkinson, at 205,000, pushing
him hard. In this race there are nine
boys above the 100.000 mark.
Ben Steinberg, of Cartersville. is
leading the Georgia boys and girls
race with 126,000 votes. Clifford
Henry, of Carrollton, has 122,000
votes. Three more are within two
years' subscription to The Georgian of
the leader, which shows how quickly
the relative standing of these con
testants may change.
Lena Mae Smith, of Knoxville.
Tenn . leads the race for the school
boys and schoolgirls outside of Geor
gia, with 130,000 votes, but Fain E.
Webb. Jr., of Piedmont, Ala.; McGee
Hunt, of Westminster, S. f\; Robe-t
Hyatt Brown and Elmer Cooper, of
Greenville, all are In the running, and
a little work will change the stand
ings greatly.
Leaders All Bunched.
And so it goes through all the other
districts—the four or five leaders are
bunched close together. A few dollars
spent for subscriptions to The Geor
gian or Sunday American by their
friends will Juggle the standings all
around.
Subscriptions to The Sunday Amer
ican make even more difference, for
the Red Letter Ballots are in effect
until Tuesday night, giving liberal
imounts of extra votes for subscrip
tions to the Sunday paper.
One week from Thursday night the
contest ends, and a Sunday inter
venes. The time is short. Speed
counts now.

DID YOU ever play one or all of them?
Ever play a game for money?
THIS MAN DID.
Detected, he was arrested.
Convicted in your Court, he heard this sentence:
“Forty-five dollars or eight months in the chaingang.”
Speaking for you, your judge said in effect:
“Oh, moneyless man!
“You may go free if you pay forty-five dollars.
“You can not? You are poor?
“And yet, charged with gaming, you dare to stand in a Court of Jus
tice?
“If you have not forty-five dollars—
“A ring of steel shall be riveted on your leg.
“A zebra suit upon your back shall proclaim your infamy.
“For eight months, a striped thing of horror to women and children,
you shall go publicly to and from your work, shackled to other men.
“Since you do not pay—
“You shall work in chains.
“While others rest, when you try to sleep, you shall he chained in your
bed to creatures as wretched and moneyless as yourself.
“Your fetters shall gall your skin night after night.
“And beware the guard! If you displease him, our lash is ready for
your back.
“POOR FOOL, PAY—
“Forty-five dollars for the coffers of the great State of Georgia.
“Miserable, moneyless, man.
“Because of your poverty—
“Suffer.
“God may pity you.
“We will not, since you have no money.’’
The man is dead.
Stripes and chains were put upon him.
In the quarry of the forty-nine-pound hammers you drove him in the
frightful heat.
There he fell.
HE DIED THAT DAY.
Remember—
His offense was only this: he played a game for money.
Nothing more.
You condemned him.
You demanded that he pay. *
rfe could not.
You killed him; you did not intend it.
But ignorance is no excuse.
Paul wrote for you:
“Thou art inexcusable, oh, man.”
And Jesus said:
“With what judgment you judge, you shall be judged,
“And with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you
again.”
God wake you.
Men, women and children are being destroyed in the name of law In
Georgia. j
The guilt is yours and ours.
