THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3 A Fl©lf FOE F®o© FISH AND POTATOES MAKE GOOD DIET So Why Not Eat Them, For They Are Cheap—Prices of Staple Groceries Have Gone Up 25 Per Cent HOUSEWIVES MAY HAVE LEAGUE AND QUIT BUYING BACON AT 40 CENTS LB. Instead of Farmers Furnishing Meat to Augustans, As Well As Having Plenty Themselves, Many Are Buying it at High Prices The rise in prices of foodstuffs dur ing the past month has een such that the people in their desperation wiil be driven into making “a figrtt £pr food." Some salutary lessons are rieing taught the people of this sec tion of the country because of the war as it has been brought home to them with everything eaten should be raised at home with the exception of sugar and coffee and, on a pinch, sugar could be made, since sugar cane grows luxuriantly when planted in the lowlands. The price of foodstuffs has increas ed fully 25 per cent during the past month and the retail grocers say that articles which have not gone up in price are going up. For instance, one grocer said that while coffee had not gone up, still he understood that it was going up and this in the face of the fact that we get practically all of cur coffee from Brazil and Brazil now has no chance to send any coffee to Europe, because of the demoralized state of the shipping interests. Eat Potatoes. The iieople of this section should prepare to eat large quantities of po tatoes, cabbage and apples this win ter, for it is understood that there are abundant crops of these articles, al though there will be little chance for dumplings on account of the high price of sugar. The crops of sweet and Irish potatoes promise to be large. The price of lemons, which went up rapidly just after war was declared, ’.as gone down because at present there is a good supply on hand. The staple groceries are the ones which have increased so remarkably in nrice The following comparisons . f show how rquch the increase has been during the past month: Meal now sells at $1.40 per bushel and a month ago it was $1.20. Flour sells for 95 cents for each 25 pound sack, while a month ago it sold for 85 cents. Ham sells for 25 cents a pound and a month ago it sold for 20 cents. Breakfast bacon sells for 40 cents per pound, whereas 30 days ago it sold for 35 cents. Bacon, known as bellies to the grocerymen, sells at 20 cents per pound and a month ago it sold at 15 cents. Canned corn beef that sold for 25 cents now sells for 30 cents. Canned salmon that sold for 10 cents now se’ls for 15 cents. Sugar thac sold a month ago for 5 cents per pound now sells for 8 cents. Canned meats of all descriptions have gone up, but in some instances the retailers have not raised the price because they had purchased their supplies for the fall before the war started. There was a large peach crop and many persons sold canned peaches on a basis of 5 cents per pound for sugar and they have not been able to make the deliveries, because of losing money by reason of sugar having gone up to 8 cents. Prices of Vegetable*. The following list of prices show what the retail grocers are selling vegetables and other farm products for: Snap beans, 5 cents per quart. Tomatoes, 10 cents per quart. Okra, 5 cents per quart. Irish potatoes. 35 cents per peck. Sweet potatoes, 60 cents per peck. Butterbeans, 20 cents per quart. Georgia apples, 25 cents per peck. North Carolina apples, 50 cents per peck. Green peas, 10 cents per quart. Corn, on ear, 20 cents per dozen. Cabbage, 5 and 10 cents per head. Bell peppers. 5 cents per quart. Pears, 20 cents per peck. Onions. 59 cents per peck. Of course the above prices are what these articles are sold for to the con sumer. The producer sells them to the grocerymen and the latter sells to the trade. In some cities the gro cers handle only staple articles and the vegetables are sold almost exclu sively through a market. Fish Is Cheap. The price of fish has not gone up and a leading fish dealer informed a reported today that he did not expect any rise. The various varieties of fish on the markets now include mul let, bass. Spanish mackerel, red snap per, black fish, sea trout and whiting. The supply of fish is always equal to the demand as the more the demand the more fishermen exert themselves. Bo potatoes, fish, cabbage and ap ples seem to offer the cheapest diet for Augustan* this winter and the sooner they go to it the better for their pocketbook. If people will stop eating meat at 20 cents per pound for plain bacon, 25 cents for ham and 40 cents for breakfast bacon there will be a drop In the prices of these articles There Is grim Irony in the fact that farmers In this section will pay such prices Tor meat when they have opportuni ties for not only raising their own meat, but furnishing Augusta. "Would it not be a good idea for the house wives of Augusta to call a halt on the present hlght prices of meat by re fusing to buy it ard subsist on fish end potatoes for a time? It is be lieved that a league of some sort will >,<• formed for the purpose of keeping ci ‘he coat of Hvin*. NO (DUNCE IN PRICE OF HOME KILLED MELT Only Increase Comes in Meats Handled by Western Packers. Say There’s No Reason According to local retail butchers there has been no advance in the price in the price of home klled meats; some slight increase, has been ob served however in the cost of Western meats —meats handled by the pack ers. One butcher said this morning: “There is no reason why there should be any advance in the price of any kind of meat on account of the war. The only meats in which any advance in price has been made are smoked meats, boiled ham, pork and mutton. “The packers, in my opinion, with out any sufficient reason, Just raised the prices, and we have to pay ’em. In some cases, for instance boiled ham, number one bacon, smoked meats, etc., we are selling meats at the same prices as formerly and are hav ing to pay four and five cents per ponnd more for them. “Smoked meats and boiled ham, which 30 days ago cost us 28 cents, now costs 32 cents. We still ask 40 cents a pound. Bacon, which 30 days ago cost us 17 cents now costs 21, but we have to sell it still for thirty five. “The scarcity of pork and veal has made these meats advance somewhat Pork and veal which a month ago cost us 11 to 13 cents per pound now costs us 14 to 16 cents. For these meats we get 20 cents a pound at present as against 15 cents before. “The prices of home killed meats have remained the same practically for the past two years. For beef we get twenty cents per pound for round steak, porterhouse and loin; 15 cents per pound for chuck or all front quarter cuts; 12 1-2 cents for stew meat; 15 cents for liver, and 20 cents per pound for rib roast (un trimmed) and all other choice cuts.

STORE COTTON IN WAREHOUSES ONOER CONTROL OF THE STATE Warehouse Receipts From Warehouses Controlled By State Should Be As Good As Gold, Says Senator Tillman, in Inter view in Augusta Today SAYS SPECIAL SESSIONS OF THE LEGISLATURES OUGHT TO CONVENE Predicts War Will Last Year or More, and Says Germany is Going to Be Defeated Badly Talks Little of Blease “As Little Should Be Said of the Dead” That the legislatures of all the southern states should be con vened and pass legislation provldin g for warehouses for storing cotton that will be under state control and on which cltton money can bo bor rowed. is the belief of U. 8. Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman, of South Carolina, who is in Augusta today. Senator Tillman came over from Trenton with Mrs. Tillman and returns lute this afternoon. “The warehouse receipts from warehouses controlled absolutely by the state should he as good as gold, says Senator Tillman, "and six cents per pound could be obtained from the treasury department for each bale which is stored. I believe that the present warehouses in the state should be utilized and when there are no longer enough warehouses to store the cotton the state should them. Where the states are aide they should advance the money to tbe farmers themselves on cotton at six cents per pound. 1 believe also that the legislatures of the states in the south should fix the amount of Production for next year and puss laws not allowing over one-half th* acreage planted as was planted this year. We must curtail the product ° n because the war may continue for a year or 18 months." GREAT PHOMISE EOS CHURCH INSTITUTE St. Patrick’s Commercial In stitute Will Open Next Mon day Under Most Auspicious Conditions An unusually large enrollment of stu dents for tile coming term of St. Pat rick’s Commercial Institute which will open next Monday, September 7th, Is expected by the Brothers. Monday will be devoted principally to tbe enrollment of students, assignment of classes, text hooks, etc., and no lectures will be held until the next day. The loss of Brother Basil, who has been principal of the institute during the last eleven years, will be severely felt. Only one of the Brothers whn had charge of the school last year lias been returned to Augusta this year. Broth er John, who taught stenography and typewriting and business-college work with such signal success Brother John was extremely popular among the stu dents and they are delighted to have him back again.

As teach ers it would he impossible to improve on this distinguished list, all the broth ers mentioned having made brilliant showings In their former work and In the most rigid examinations The new principal. Brother Leonard, is a man eminently fitted for the post: a teacher of long experience and a m is ter hand la (lie management of hoys and young men. His career tiHs been one of unfailing success, and It Is felt that Augusta Is most fortunate In se curing him for the head of one of her chief Institutions. Brother Leonard comes tier* from Cal vert Hall College, Baltimore. AUTO WRECK’S VICTIM FOUND AT HIS HOME Mr. Sidney McCathern Only Scratched in Accident on New Savannah Road Late Yester day The mystery attending the unaccount able disappearance of Mr. Kidney Me- Cftthern, who was known to have ’eft his home in Waynesboro for Augusta yesterday afternoon, and whose automo bile was later found wrecked and de serted on the Bavannah road near the city, was cleared up this morning when It was learned here that he had been picked up shortly after the accident by Mr. E. 11. tin-sham, of Waynesboro, who happened to he. passing In bis auto mobile going home. The first knowledge of the accident, came to Augusta early last night when automobile parties coming In off the New Bavannah road reported having seen a badly wrecked machine In the vicinity of Butler's Creek. One party, who said he Inquired at a nearby house of the particulars of the accident, said that no one seemed to know anything about it. It finally developed that the damaged oar was that of Mr. McOath ern’s, biit efforts to find Mr. McCathern here last night were fruitless. Information from Waynesboro this morning revealed his whereabouts and tiie feet also that he was merely scratched and not at all seriously hurt in the accident. Ft also Said that there was no one but Mr. Hldney McCathern In the car. While the cause of the accident as given this morning Is vague, it appears that It happened as a result of the car skidding Into a telegraph pole. HELPFUL MEETINGS OF THE SALVATION ARMY The open air rally held In West End at the corner of Eve anr Broad streets on Tuesday night past, by the Salvation Arms was attended by a very large rung!egation. The meeting proved to be Interesting and helpful, as quite a number of rnen and women raised their hands for prayers. Tonight, Thursday, another very spe cial open-air service will be held by the Army at the corner of Crawford avenue and Broad street, .•» which short Gospel addresses will hr* delivered by Adjutant Yates r.tid others, with s number of soul stirring songs and solos The public Is very cordially Invited to attend this service which no doubt will be interest ing end helpful The meeting Is to commence at # o'clock The senator was asked what pow er could the legislatures have to force people to plant less cotton anti ho replied that he had not worked out tlie details in tiis own mind, but that the state legislatures could find a way and lie added that the plan fop ware houses under state control could be w orked out so I hat the rates of inter est would be cheaper on the borrowed money than if secured by the banks from the gov ernment and then loaned on cotton. The senator said that he would not sell any of Ills cotton at present prices and die reporter reminded him that he was an exceptional farmer, a man who was not dependent on farming tor a living. He replied that that was true and although he knew many peo ple could not hold all of their cro|\ HUM he thought they should sell as little ns possible. Germany to Be Defeated. Asked about the war Senator Till mni said that he feared it would last 12 months or possibly 18. "England, France and Russia must lick Germany," he said “and allhough it will take some time to do It, still it will tie done and a treaty of peace will be signed In Berlin after the al lies have conquered, it la going to lie a war of exhaustion with the resour ces of the allies greater than those "f Germany and Austria ami although Burls will lie besieged, and possibly captured, still that does not end the war . The British bulldog is just be ginning to light and before he finishes Germany will lie thoroughly chastised. Why, if Germany should win that fight the next thing that would hap pen would he for the Kaiser to try to whip ns. Remember when Capt. Cogli lan of the U. 8. army c.r navy, I for get which, some years ago recited a Poem whicti contained some slight reflection on the Kaiser, tie had to apologize and yon also remember that incident in Manila Bay when Admir al Dewey sent the German Admiral word that If lie wanted any trouble he could get It. That Kaiser is not satisfied to have his snout In the trough of European affairs but he must have both of his feet In it and run tilings to suit him self and before (he allies are through with him he will lie sorry he ever in vaded Belgium. The Blease Defeat. Senator Tillman was asked about the defeat of Blease and lie sapl that, he was, of course, glad of it. He says that tie believes Blease has been for ever eliminated from Mouth Carolina politics in so far as being a power is concerned. He did not seem to care to talk much about Blease, and stated that about the deal little should lie said The senator seems to be in perfect health. He has been In Washington for two years on ft slrrteli and Is in better health than ho has been for a long time, "If people would quit being fools and learn how to eat and what to eat and quit riding In automobiles and walk more they would live longer,” Observed the “Pitchfork Htn lesrnan,” probably the most remarkable man In American public life today The senator has no automobile but rnoh of his sons has one. Senator Tillman was given up to die several yeara ago and since that lime he has seen (he passing of probably 30 members of congress any one of whom who would have been ph ked to outlive him. “I do not know who Couth Carolina can get to take your place,” remark ed a. friend of Senator Tillman’s in a local at ore where the senator was making some purchases this morning. ' I am not dead yet by a long sight ’’ remarked the senator. GLENN SPRINGS HOTEL HAD SPLENDID SEASON Manager Wallace Back.
