PROHIBITION PETITIONS.
A Hundred of Them Are Being Circu
lated for Signatures.
A petition requesting the ordinary
to order an election for a vote for or
against the dispensary is now being
circulated for signatures. The peti
tion is as follows:
““The undersigned, being one-third
of the voters of Terrell county who are
qualified to vote for members of the
general assembly. respectfully request
the ordinary of Terrell county to call
an election under the act passed by
the general assembly and approved
by the governor in 1906 to determine
whether or not the sale of intoxica
ting liquors shall be absolutely pro
hibited in said county, the sale of in
toxicating liquors in said county be
ing unlawful except in dispensaries.”’
The News Job Rooms filled an or
der for one hundred copies of the pe
tition, and that number is in circula
tion in the various districts of the
county.
COLONEL JOHN IRWIN’S SUM
Several Answers, But None of Them
Correct, Were Received. He
Gives the Right One.
To the Editor of The News: Last
week I submitted the following exam
ple, offering a prize of one dollar to
any public school scholar who gave
the correct answer:
“‘A. borrows $l,OOO for a period of
five years, agreeing to pay 6% yearly
for the same. In addition to the in
terest he pays an attorney 870 cash for
preparing an abstract and preparing
the papers. What per centum has the
money cost the borrower?’’
1 submit the following as the correct
solution of the problem: The bor
rower pays %60 per year interest for
five years, $300; he also pays $7O cash,
which is an item of expense in pro
curing the loan, and he is out the use
of this $7O for five years. Had he had
the use of it, it would have been worth
6% compound interest to him; com
pound interest on $7O is another item
of expense which the money cost,
amounting to $23.67. The total cost
to the borrower of $l,OOO for five years
is 8393.67. The cost per year would
be one-fifth of $393.67—578.73. $78.73
fs what per cent of $1,0007 The an
swer is 7.87 per cent.
I have received a number of answers
from my school friends, and I return
to each my thanks. None gave me
the correct answer, but their work
showed a thorough understanding of
the principle upon which the sum 18
worked out. 1f 1 have peradventure
made any error L shall be pleased to be
corrected by anyone who detects the
same. Respectfully, JNO. R. IRWIN.
