DDNN NOW HEADS LIST
Saturday Wo a Busy Pay in the Con
tent Department and Thousands of
Vote Were Issued Girls Are
Working Fast For the Votes, and
When December 24 th Comes, it
Will be the Biggest and Most Pop

Miss Vira Parker, of Dunn, comes
to the front today as the leader of
the bis diamond contest and her
friends are doing wonders In Dunn
and the surrounding country for her.
She heads the list today with . over
eighteen thousand votes, while Miss
Young, also of Dunn, has a large
number to her credit, and she, loo, is
making a splendid race for the big
prize.
Miss Sears, of Raleigh, stands
second today, While Miss Davis also
comes In with a large number of
votes. All the young ladies, in t!ie
contest are making a fine race, each
one is making a fine showing. Each
town is greatly interested in the
young ladies and they are getting
hundreds of subscribers to The Times
and also getting thousands of votes.
Of course they are holding put the
votes until the last day, when each
one will bring forward all the
strength she has, and the winner will
be the proud possessor of the fine
$250 diamond ring.
If we can be of any assistance to
any of the contestants we are ready
and willing at all times to help and
we are williug to give any informa
tion that will help any one of the con
testants in her work.
Certain people who are given to ly
ing and tattling have taken it upon
themselves to circulate several stories
concerning the contest and how it
was managed and how it would

closed
We suppose, of course, that!

injure The Evening Times, but this
contest Is open to any of the contest-
ants and we expert certain people to.
tell a certain amount of lies before it ;
is over, but if it becomes necessary j
to stop it, we suppose that the publi-
cation of a certain name with the de
mand that the proofs be given will
put a stop to such malicious slander
and talk.

No case of contagious blood poison is ever cured until the last -particle
of the virus has been removed from the circulation. The least taint left in
the blood will sooner or later, cause a fresh outbreak of the trouble, with all
its hideous and destructive symptoms' of ulcerated mouth and throat, copper
colored splotches, falling hair, sores and ulcers, etc No other medicine so
surelv cures contagious blood poison as S. S. S. It goes down into the
blood and steadily and surely drives out every particle of the infection. It
absolutely and perfectly purines the blood, and leaves this vital fluid as fresh,
rich and healthy as it was before the destructive virus of contagious blood
poison entered the circulation. & S. S. quickly takes effect on the blood,
and gradually the symptoms disappear, the health is improved, the skin
cleared of all spots, sores and other blemishes, the hair stops coming out,
the mouth and throat heal and when S. S. S. has cleansed the system of the
poison no trace of the disease is left S. S. S. cures contagious blood poison
because it is the greatest of all blood purifiers, tested and proven for more
than forty years. Book on this disease with suggestions for home treatment,
and any medical advice sent free to all who write.
