The notice states that District One shall compose all corporate limits of Athens and that, regardless of district assignment, the capital prize will be awarded to contestants in District One. The document defines district boundaries and prize eligibility for participants.
The rule requires candidates to reside in the district or territory from which they are nominated. If a candidate moves out after nomination, all votes they received are void. Candidates may not transfer votes to another after receiving them.
The Capital Prize of 1915 goes to the candidate with the most votes in the contest. Doll & Son awards $400 to the top two candidates by votes in their districts. Columbia G awards $75 to the second set of candidates. A $25 scholarship is given to the fourth place in each district. All entrants who complete five districts receive a prize.
The Athens Banner states its purpose is advertising circulation and business, not charity. It underscores that its objective is to gain readers and a wide web field, noting that the paper is published at an early date and welcomes favorites among readers.
