THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. Till’USD AY. SEPTEMBER 13. 19*1. FRIENDS FALL OUT AND FIGHT ABOUT MONEY FOUND IN SACK Understanding About Division of Expenses Did Not Extend to Division of Prize For Purchaser. 8ome one said (hat tne love of money Was the root of all evil. It may be. but everybody seems to be looking for a sprig. It Is recorded that effort a have been made to do a bit of grafting In this growing of the financial tree. Be that as It may, however, a story was unearthed recently at a local grocery store which has all the earmarks of being unique In Its exposition of the •grasping spirit, with particular refer ence to money. It goes to disprove the statement that chickens and children will not mix. but demonstrates that when the almighty dollar enters In there Is likely to lie discord, resulting In personal differences between two well-regulated families. And It was the almighty dollar—Just one of them—that caused the trouble. Intemperate words filled the air for a time, and then, losing entire control of their ordinary sweet tempers, two women clinched, pulled hair and scratched at eyes In a manner to make the neighbors sit up and take notice and give them something to talk ubout for many a day to come. Then, when two honest, hard work ing, loving husbands reached home that night there waa more discussion, re sulting in a four-comersd, knock-down- an4-drag-out scrap, which wended Its way Into the police court, where the belligerents were told to go their way In peace, but refrain in future from the use of fists and finger nails. It all came about through the plan of a local wholesale grocery company to advertise a brand of flour which was called "Money Flour." A coin, ranging In value from ft cents to $1, waa placed by In every sack. A 24-pound sack of the flour sells for about 76 cents. If you happen to get the sack containing the dollar you not only got your flour for nothing, but make 30 cents on tbs deal. This information was Imparted the wholesale grocer to the retail gro rers, and "Money Flour” commenced to have a big sale. Now, it chanced that one of the re toilers operated a store In the neigh borhood where two families lived In one house In happiness and domestic serenity. They divided the expenses of rent, of gas, of water, of fuel, of nil h'rtisetiold purchases. It was under stood perfectly that the expense was to be shared half and half. But at the time .this agreement was entered into neither cf the famlltos had any Idea that, like Joseph’s brothers of old, they would be finding the pur- chsse money In the mouth of the sack. Ho when one good housewife went to the corner grocery and pur chased ii sack of "Money Flour," she ussuined that the big, round, bright new silver dollar which rolled out be longed to her, even though her co resident was obligated to pay half the purchase price. But when this Information was com munlcated to the co-resident, the co resident demurred. That precipitated the difference which resulted In the pulling of hair and scratching of eyes, and later In the use by ungry men of muscular fists. The neighbors heard all about It neighbors always do-—and now the cor ner grocer has difficulty In keeping "Money Flour."
