The campaign will end at 10:00 p. m. Saturday night, August 19th and the count of votes to decide the Winners of the different prizes will be made immediate ly after the closing hour. When the final hour for the count arrives, the judges will break the seals on t h e ballot box, and im mediately thereafter, or as soon as votes can be issued on the subscriptions contained therein, the last count of votes will be made and the winners decided. The winners will be determined by merely adding the published vote totals, which will appear for the last time in Today’s issue, to the reserve votes and those contained in the ballot box. There wifi 1 be no waiting, no complicated count, but simply a mat ter of adding the vote totals and announcing the win ners. It is calculated that it will require some time, however, to canvass the findings in the box and to de termine the winners. The official result will be pub lished m The News, Sunday, August 20th.

Final Fateful Hour With the final hour, 10 o’clock Saturday night, em blazoned on their minds, stirring scenes are being en acted by candidates in The Goldsboro News* Great Au tomobile and Prize Campaign, now swiftly drawing to a close. * Aroused to unprecedented opportunities of win the Studebaker Special “6” or one of the Two Ford louring Cars and many other big prizes, each passing hour is instilling new energy into ambitious workers Everywhere they are swarming in eager and anxious quest for subscriptions that will win them the big votes —and in the end an automobile. , These workers pay no attention to frequent rumors that circulate with the hope of damaging effect. Mis leading stories have one objeet—influencing some can-i didate to retire for fear of being passed by someone else in the race. Such tales have no foundation what ever. It is obvious that no one can determine the ulti mate result of the campaign. Courage and downright hustle are the two main things to observe. Votes are the oply that will win the prize, and every candidate shoukEf'and, for that matter, is—taking upon himself anjfjherseif to annex just as many votes as jHissibfe betwjjh now and the eloso. * jji jsi mn mL
