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."

be devoted principally to tbe enrollment
of students, assignment of classes, text
hooks, etc., and no lectures will be held

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.
