At Wednesday noon Of ,thla
week Mrs. Maudie V. Dickerson
of Margarettsvilla had taken
over the top position in the Car
olina Times subscription contest.
Mrs. Dickerson stood at third
place in last week’s tabulation
and her sudden spurt to the top
position shows that she is to be
reckoned with.
Although Mrs. Dickerson
holds the lead in this week’s
tabulation, she is being tightly
pushed for the top position by
both Miss Hattie White and
Mfs. Ruby Devine, of Durham,
Mrs. Sylvia Outlaw, of Roxboro
and Mrs. Odester Moore,

Rumors of a dark horse are
already being circulated and was
further highlighted this week
when Mrs. Ulysses Grimes of
Durham suddenly entered the
picture and began pitching. Mrs.
Grimes has also shown signs of
becoming a strong contender for
one of the top prizes.
As it now stands the contest
is more and more developing in
to a neck and neck affair with
