SOUTH MOST PROSPEROUS
PART OF COUNTRY.
Mr.. j. p. williams Certain of This
After a Trip to the North.


Mr.. ]. P. Williams has returned to
the city after an extended trip that
included visits to Atlanta, Norfolk,
New York and Saratoga.
Mr. Williams thinks that the outlook
for business generally is very good and
that the South is the most prosperous
part of the country. This is becoming
generally recognized now, he said, and
is attracting attention all over the
country.
The growing independence of this
part of the United States is shown in
the fact that it is now borrowing less
money from the financial centers than
possibly ever before in its history, a
development that is having it's effect
in New York, where the money is be-
ing piled up without any profitable way
of investing it.
So great is the accumulation of capt.
tai in New York that Mr.. Williams be-
lieves it will have to seek investment
in securities, probably in many of the
unlisted ones, as many of the better
known issues seem to have been pref
ty generally absorbed already.
Speaking of the outlook for the cot
ton business of this season, Mr.. Will
liams said that as great as had been
the amount of money realized for that
of the season recently closed, he would
not be surprised if the crop now being
marketed should not bring into this
country an even greater sum. Even
if $4,000, 000-bale crop should be mar
keted, he said, there is no reason why
it should not average 10 cents pound.
The worlds needs are greater every
year, and within the last two or three
years there has been a great encroach-
ment on the cotton reserve.
The cotton planters of this country
have made money during the last year,
Mr.. Williams believes, and with as
good an average price as 10 cents a
pound for their cotton will continue to
be, as they are now both Independent
and nrOSDarouS

PRIVATE AMBULANCE
ORDERED FOR SAVANNAH.
Mr.. Frank Butner Will Place One
in His Stables Very shortly.

Mr.. Frank Butner Will Place One
in His Stables Very shortly.
Immediately following the agitation
in regard to the city ambulances the
announcement is made that Mr.. Frank
Butner has ordered a private ambu-
lance, which he intends to place in
his stables on Broughton street sub
ject to the call of the white public.
The order for the ambulance has all
ready been forwarded and it is ex-
pected to reach here and be placed in
use very shortly
The ambulance will be a very ex-
pensive one, equipped with all modern
appliances. The cot for the patient
will be suspended so that only a mini
mum of the jar of the vehicle will be
transferred to the sufferer. 1t will of
course have rubber tires. 1t will be
lighted by electricity and will also be
provided with heating arrangements
so that it may be made any desired
temperature. There will be a seat in
the ambulance for an attendant, as
well as the provisions that are made
for patients.
Mr.. Butner, before deciding to pur-
chase the ambulance, talked with a
number of physicians, who assured
him that they thought the investment
would pay. There will be a great de-
mand for the ambulance it is believed.
Circulars We're sent out yesterday
morning to all physicians announcing
the fact that the ambulance had been
ordered

COUNTY TAX RATE
TO BE ADVANCED
NET INCREASE VERY SMALL.
STATE RATE DECREASED, WHICH
WILL HELP STU ALTON.

More Money Needed by Reason of
Appropriation of $4,000 by Grand
Jury for Educational Purposes.

last Year for County Was S7.2O.
There Will be d slight increase in the
county tax rate to be fixed at the Sep
TENDER meeting of the County Commits
sioners this afternoon.
1t is possible that the report of the
Farm Committee on the question of
the disposition Of garbage win be pre-
scented. Chairman Lathrop recently
returned from the North where he in
spected systems in use in various
cities.
Last year the county tax rate was
1920 with $500 for the state. This
year the state tax has been fixed at
$3.50.
owing to an increase in the dis
bursements according to the budget as
finally passed by the grand jury,
the county tax rate will have
to be slightly increased this year.
In addition to the usual expenditures
the item Of $4,000 for the school fund
has been added OF this sum, $4,000
is for a new building on Barnard street,
$500 for the Introduction of manual
training and the balance for the re-
moval of high school fees
The levy last year was for $2S0,000,
and this year the budget submitted to
the grand jury was for $2S2, $50 To
this the grand jury added the $4,000
for education expenses. BY the in
crease in the value of property nearly
81 600 will be raised, leaving a deficit
of at least $1,000 to be raised by extra
taxation. This estimate Of the deficit
is of course based on the suppostion
that the other expenditures will be
bout the same as for last year.
The increase in the valuation Of the
property of the county this year over
last was $465 1886, which, at the rate of
1920 for the county tax, would yield
less than $4,000.
Last year the total rate for state and
county tax was $12.20. This year the
state has made a slight reduction,
which will be more than counterbal-
anced by the intended increase in the
county rate.
However. the increase will be so
slight that it will hardly be noticeable.

"Unbelief, the Source Of All Sin"
was the subject OF the sermon by Rev.
Kerr at the gospel tent last night. The
lesson of the sermon was taken from
the parable of Lazarus. Mr.. Kerr said
that the prevailing sin OF to-day is UNI
belief in the scriptures. He contended
that all sin had its source in this one
sin of unbelief. and that every evil could
be traced to this lack Of unbelief on
the part Of the world.

ALL ON AN 8-HOUR
BASIS AT FORT
CONTRACTORS UNANIMOUS
SHORTENED DAY AND INCREASED
WAGES BEAR HEAVILY.

White BrickmasOns Started the
Trouble by Demanding Govern
ment Day and City Pay-NOt
Thought That Contractors win
Have TO Answer Charge of Work.
ing Men OVertime-CInimed That
All Work Heretofore at Fort
ScreVcn Was Done On 9-HOur
Day Basis.
All of the contractors at Fort Screven
have established an eight-hour day
for their employees, and harmony is
again reported to prevail.
When the contracts were made for
the new buildings the contractors
agreed with their employees that the
men should work eight or nine hours
as the exigencies of the case might
determine
Early in the game a shortage of
hands developed and as there is a
time limit on each contract from the
very first a nine-hour a day basis was
instituted by all of the contractors and
kept up until ten days ago.
The brickmasons began the trou-
BILE by insisting that they work eight
hours day and receive the ten-hour
a day wages which is given in the city,
81 per day. The rate in the city is
40 cents per hour, or 81 for the ten
hours. At Fort Screven they are now
receiving the same pay for eight hours
work. or so cents an hour.
Having gained their point, the ma
sons turned their attention to the col
ored laborers, who belong to the unions
as well. The law on the subject was
hunted up, and an appeal made to
Commissioner Hewlett, as stated in
yesterdays Morning News. Owing to
the lack Of evidence no action was
taken by that official
Matter Now Seems Settled.
Having obtained the concessions
sought, it is not thought that the cases
alleged to be possible against the con-
tractors will be mentioned again.
The contractors claim that every bit
of work done at Fort Screven hereto
fore has been done by working nine
hours a day, and that there had never
been any point raised about it.
In the present case the colored la
borers were glad of an opportunity to
work nine hours and receive pay for
that period rather than have their
pay reduced to an eight-hour basis.
Glad to Finish Work.
While some of the contractors allege
that they have been practically held
up on account of the shortness of time
before the contracts must be completed.
they are pleased that only a few weeks
more remain before the work will be
entirely completed
Next time they claim they will figure
on an S-hOur day when bidding on gov
eminent work and also when agreeing
to time limit. Both the cost of the
work and the lack of hands has oper-
ated against the contractors. who have
been forced to make a difference of
ninth in the amount of time a CIV
en- number of men could do the work,
and of that portion of money which
they Will have to pay out beyond that
calculated on.

How to Cook Beef.

If, instead of placing our beef in cold water and then gradually heating it, we were to plunge the meat into hot fat or boiling water, the effect produced would be vastly different. A crust would be formed, due to the coagula- tion of the albumen; the juices could no longer escape and the beef would retain its original flavor. The result ing broth is poor, but the meat is rich in taste and in nutritive value Roast ing, broiling and frying in fat are all ways to be preferred to boiling, simply because the flavor of the beef is thus preserved Much, however, depends upon the fire. The larger the cut, the lower should be the temperature; the smaller the cut, the hotter should be the fire. This culinary paradox is ex- plained when it is considered that in- tense heat coagulates the exterior of the small piece of beef and prevents the drying up of the meat juices. A large piece of meat, if subjected to a very hot fire, would be charred before the heat could penetrate to the interior. It is upon this principle that steakes and chops are broiled.-Twentieth Century Home
