POWER TO BORROW
LEADS WAY OUT

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 1S--It seems
quite certain that after this year the
public school teachers of Georgia will
be oppressed no longer by reason of
delayed payments from the state.
Mr.. MccAdoo, secretary of the U. S.
treasury, has approved the plan work
ed out by State Senator John D. Wal
ker, and enacted into law by the legis-
lature at its asst session. This plan
contemplates the borrowing of the
money necessary to feet prosnpt pay
ments through the federal regional
bank. The governor will issue war
rants in advance, and these will be
cashed by the Atlanta regional bank
at per cent. interest.
The plan is the same in practice as
vas urged by Governor John NJ Sla-
ton in his last message to the egis-
Iature- He suggested that the state
board of education be made a eorpo-
rate body with power to borrow
money. Senator Walkers bill car
ries out this idea in simpler and prob
ably safer form
1t is said that the highly successful
handling of the bond sale which was
accomplished by Governor Slaton at a
saving of approximately half million
dollars TO the state, contributed much
tokard getting the cooperation of the
United States government in solving
the teaohers'-pay question. The bond
sale convinced the federal authorities
that Georgia's credit is par excellent.

To Be Paid In Gold

In the foregoing classes there are
offered cash prizes aggregating $1,000
to be paid in gold. These classes will
be open to all subscribers to the South
ern Ruralist at fifty cents a year;
and the only interest which this publi-
cation has in offering these prizes is
the encouragement of the agricultural
communities of the south in the terri
tory lying east of the Mississippi and
south of the Potomac rivers.
That extraordinary interest attaches
to this exhibition is already demon
strated in the number of entries re-
ceived thus far in advance of the
opening of the fair These entries in
clude farm products 800; domestic
products 200; collective exhibits II,
making a total of 511. There is a con-
slant call for application blanks, and
the indications are there will be more
than 1000 exhibitors from many south
ern states when the fair opens on No
vember 16.
The exhibition will be held in one
of the buildings now being erected
by the fair association, and which Is
the property of the city of Atlanta.
The city itself gave $4,000, Fulton
county $4,000 and individual citizens
of Atlanta subscribed some $4,000,
making a total of $4,000 for the
purpose of building this fair and MAX
ing it splendid success. Another
year it is the purpose of the Southern
Ruralist to erect special building of
it's own upon the fair grounds.

Prizes Are Liberal

The individual prizes will total sew
eral thousand dollars, and include
some very desirable pieces of farm
machinery, which sell as high as $500
and $500. The offers made to exhibit
ors are not only most liberal, but in
every instance are larger than those
generally offered at state fairs.
The agricultural and horticultural
exhibit will include three classes ::
Farm products, domestic products and
collective displays. This classification
is the widest possible, and provides
for the admission of every known
product of the farm, the orchard and
of the housewife.
Many products not specifically men
toned will come in under the collect
i've exhibits of farm and industrial
products, made by clubs, public
schools and other organizations, and
will include such displays as collec-
lions of vegetables from school gar
dens and exhibits of market products
by cooperative marketing associa-

The Speculative Position.

The setback in the tock market yes
teriay was hardly extensive enough to
be termed y reaction. II was In fact
hardly more than a pause. And yet
the market has had to take a lot OF
stock. II could hardly escape heavy
profit taking, for the rise has been
rapid and big. Presumably foreign
liquidation has added to tho floating sup
ply. for If there is to be any pres
sure to sell from abroad II would log
ically be applied on such burst of
strength. Operations for tho fall have
also been fairly heavy from all accounts.
That prices should have given as good
an account OF themselves as they did
was reassuring to observers. who had
expected sharp fail either Wednes-
day or yesterday TO announce the par tal
cstnguishmcnt OF the short account.
or course the mere mechanics OF the
market VIII sooner or later bring a
reaction. But ;he conclusion meantime
must he either that the confidence Of
the public in the market or the ex-
tent OF tho short interest had been un-
derestlmrited Either OF these circufn-
stances would explain the delay In the
