This is a liberal of fer and the details of it will be sent you by applying to the Atlanta Con 'stitntion, Atlanta, Ga. The $2,000 upon the Savannah, Ga., Cotton receipts will giei? as ollows : To the person sending a yearly subscription to the Atlanta Constitu tion (weekly) together with the cor rect estimate on the cotton receipts of Savannah, Ga., from September 1st, 19U1 to April 15th, 11)02. $1,000 if the estimate is received during January. 500 if the estimate is received during February. $250 if the estimate is received .dnring March or up to April 10th.

There is also a great consolation offer. 500 will be distributed among those who fail to secure one of the larger prizes and whose estimates .come within 500 bales either way of the exact figure. Ttiis allows a mar gin of 1000 bales within which all estimates are sure to receive part of jthe prize money offered- The point is to strike the estimate exactly du ring January. This is a possibility. In. a contest similar to this the Con? stitution has had the number hit ex actly and paid out 1,000 for the es timate. In another similar contest the estimate has come within oue of the exact fitrure. and all the prizes offered have been paid out upon es timates that were not fifty removed from the exact estimate. statistics of Last Six Years : 'To aid the contestants in making intelligent estimates hereon we give the following statistics of six former 5V ail 3 i . 05 v.

This will Jveep you posted to within two or three days before the time you send jn your i'Stjmate. The 2,000 contest is an express pot it rapt to which thp Constitution will;stand jn every particular. Y.t it is in its nature simply an adver tisement by which the Atlanta Con stitution combined with The Boa Noke Beacon' for only SI. 50 per year may become better known in this community, send us the sub scriptions to the Atlanta Constitu tion and our paper at the advertised price of the two, and with it your estimate qn the Savannah, (ia., Cot ton Kec.'ipts for the period mentioned and we will forward all together for you. On April 15th we trust a check for $1,000 will reach some one of our subscribers and help make times easier in this locality. The Atlanta Constitution for 1002 will be better than ever before, jts cpecial news features are unsurpas sed. The Boer-British War; the Philippine and Cuban Operations; the Nicaragua Canal question; the busy session of the most important Congress wo hayo ever assembled, working out the details of dinlonisu-v. commerce, v !V ! !; ir an i H-ar great industrial movements; the Charleston and West India Exposi tion, now in progress; the building and equipping of the Louisiana Pur chase Exposition at St. Louis; diver sified farm and village industries and improvements, etc., etc. The Sunny South has been brought under a close subscription alliance with the Atlanta Constitution. It is now a weekly literary paper con ducted in the interest of Southern readers. One of its avowod purposes is tho exploitation of the Southern field of literature and tho encourage ment of Southern, talent. During the year contests for the best com petitive stories by Southern writers will bo announced. During the past year a competition of this character resulted in some 500 stories submit ted, all of which are well worjtli re production and the majority of them have appeared and will continue in the Sunny South's interesting col umns. The Woman's Department of Tho Sunny South has been placed under the direction of .Mrs. Marv E. lirvan. Her name has been connected with The Sunny South for nearly a gene ration, toho has brought to her work a ripened experience gained in tho service of the same clientele'. The charm of her own personality shines in all the writings of this gif ted woman. Already The Sunny South has acquired a list of over 50,- 000 subscribers and during the 'l C 1.' this figure will doubtless bo'inore than doubled. The combined price of this paper with The AtlantaXon stitntion and Sunny South isonly 1.85. Whenever this combination is taken up the subscriber may sub mit two estimates in the Savannah Cotton Receipts Contest, one on each paper, although subscriptions to The Sunny South alone do net get any estimate. With such a great general news paper covering the worlds npus .aji'I national questions, and a great liter ary paper covering the whole field of romance- and fiction as depicted by curreut Southern writers, you will of course need the best ana i i vest local paper, giving current local topics and the latest and best news and. freshest, comment upon events of lo cal interest. We trust this combi nation secured by The Atlanta Con stitution, Sunny Souih and Thi; IvOanoke Beacon- will ba found best suited to all our readers. The price is merely nominal . when the go r vice is even half considered, only 1.85 for the tniee pipers mentioned, or Si.ouior me Atlanta Uonstitution and The Roanoke Be.vcoj, inclu ding your estimate in the Constitu tion's $2,000 cash contest. To get the full benefit of the high prize, send in your subscription now so the Constitution may receive it during January and record it to your credit.

The influence of home determines all questions and shapes all destiny. It takes the child in infancy, trains it through imj;resei6pable youth, and seuds iv forth into the world full grown a dupli cate of father and pother. "Train up the child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." Uidess the .child i8 converted to God du ring ity youth the probabilities are agaiust its salvation in maturity and old aye. Bible study and Bible knowledge in the home, is the source of all these potentiali ulities. To it is due, the march of progress in all lines of thought and activity. From it must come the power to meet all de mands and solve ail problems. It lies within the power of he Christian home to direct the moral impetus of the youth, aud to convert the nations during tbe 20th Century, to the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ. As President of the orth Caroliua Sun day School Association, 1 earnestly pray a more siucere audfrtquent Bible study on tho part of our people. The Home Department established in every community, and especially lu those communities where the Sunday School, by virtue of circuuistauces, have to go into winter quarters, would aid mightily in ac complishing tis end. It is simply an organization for every body who cannot on account of age, sick ness, business employment, etc., attend the Sunday Schooj, witii the simple conditions that each member devote thirty minutes during the w.eek studying the Sunday. School Jessous. It is in charge of a puperintendenjt and visitors whose business is to pass around weekly or monthly, enquire about the work, distribute literature and take contributions. Tho winter quarter communities might resole into the Home Department Work, and under the guidance , of their Superin le.udants and visitors, be directed in the continuous study of their Sunday School lessons during the cold wintry mo.uths, and when spring opeued come together with no breau in the International Lesson Syn? teui, aud with greater knou ledge and love ; ol God.
