FARM EXHIBIT BY NEGROES CANNOT
 BE STATE FAIR
Competition for Cash Prizes Will Be Limited to lief
 ferson Products.

Because it is impossible to raise the money needed as cash prizes, a county fair instead of stale fair will be held by the negro farmers of thls section, according to announcement made yesterday.
 A delegation of negroes, consisting of Dr. H. l.. Jordan, Dr. F. P. Lytes, Dr. O'Bryant, Dr. Taylor. Lawyer sSheltcn, T. F. Jones, Jenkins, Calhoun Rev. Brownlee, called upon Sacre- tary E. B. Bloom yesterday and ex plained what preparation had been made by the negro organizations, for tce fair.
 At the end of the conference, MT. Plcom informed the committee the chapahey of commerce could no do- nate hes $500 desired for prize money, although it might donate $25 or $50, even this. however, net being a cer- tainty.
 The committee reported to negro farmefs at the meeting yesterday afternoon, and it was decided to hold county fair only. W2rk of arranG ing the grounds for the fair will start October aS. Oth CT counties will be in formed that if they send exhibits, these will be shown free of charge, but will not be allowed to compete for thla ribbons or other prizes against Jafferslcn county exhibits.

 Tt is "a more difficult proposition for little girl to earn money. But I give my daughter an allowance and she must save half of that. She also can do anything she wants to do with tie other halt. But. like hsr brother,

Sue scrip of . face-value Of $50,0Oo in return for cash aggregating about S44000, the lenders merely taking out, as a disccAnt fee, the interest that woutd be earned by the money.
 Where City Will Profit.
 City scrip is quoted now at about 80 cents on the $1. For all it's purchases, it's psyrolls and ether expenses, the city must necessarily issue scrip ill sufficient quantity to make up this discount of 20 per cent. Thus, for everything the city buys, it must pay about $1.20 eventually, for only $l in value. By paying cash, therefore, for it's supplies of all kinds, the city will prevent this hesvy discount.
 In the matter of payrolls, however, a different method is likely to be car rled out. At present, an -employe may get $6O ill scrip as his months pay. He sells this scrip, if he can find a buyer, for perhaps S4S. The city thus pays $60> when it r-deems that War rant, whereas the emplcye gets but $4S The plan is, under the cash sys- tenn, to pay that employe, say $50 or $a5 per month. He gets more money zach month under this plan, and the city also saves something.
 The city has already learned that it can draw par cent. interest on daily balances at a local bank, by de- p2siting it's funds there, so another saving item is brought into the mat ter.
 All Interests Favorable
 That Ell the various intere sts are favorabIy impressed with the propo- sition appears to be the condition that prevails 1ere. It will be remembered that since he first became mayer. MT. Bloom has been working to put the city on cash basis. The cash basis was also recommended in the muni- cipal survey report made for the Civic League some year or SC, ago.
 Figuring the city's income from all sources, the amounts, that will be saved by paying cash for all sup plies, the amounts to be saved by re- holding the payrolls, and the amount to be earned on daily bank balances, it is estimated the city can not only pay it's way in cash, but can build up sinking funi with which to repay the loan, if the proposition is carried through successfully.

SPECIAL DELIGHT OF ALEXANDER IS
 TO BEAT PIRATES
Pitcher Holds Grud g e Against Dreyfuss Because
 of False Tales.

Not even a world series victory can bring Grover Cleveland Alexander half the pleasure that comes to him in beating the Pirates. And this is the story:
 Back in 1910 Barney Dreyfus heard about the big starboard hurler who then was with the Syracuse club in the New York State league. Barney looked over Alexander-or had one of his scouts do it-and decided that Alexander was entirely too green. So Barney passed him up.
 Horac6 E. Fogel, then president of the Phillies, heared about ALexander labcut the same time, watched him during several games, and decided to grab him. Fogsl ingenuously "shcoed" away other scouts, baked at
 paying the big price that one of ahe owners of the club asked for Alexan- de and finally secured him in draft for $750.
 Almost from his first day with the PhiTliss Alexander was a star. Whsn mid-season came in 1911 his name
 was on every tongue of fand 2m. And then it was that Barney Dreyfus won the undying enmiiy of the great twirler.
 Somebody evidently has ask
 Barney why he didn't sign up Alex ander when he had a a@chance. ProD- ably intimating that Barney had made big error in judgment. Barney, lto alibi himself, was quoted in ths papers as ssying that he could have signed up Alexander but he kept 't-ff'' of him because AlexaaLer's habi. $ were bad. N

 Fat4eF John A. Ryan.
 How to teach. children the value of money and it's proper use is one of the difficult but important tasks of the parent.
 One father in a western city has worked out h;a problem in "a satis- factory manner as it relates to his H. year-cld son. He tells of the plan in this way:
 Our home is in the suburbs where we can have a good-sized garden. This summer made an arrangement whereby he. was to have half of sll the money received from the sale of whatever vegetables we raised beyond the needs of our own family.
 ."At first 1 nesitated about turning the boy lose upon the neighbors to solicit their orders, but wh:n they began to telephone to US of their own acccrd for fresh peas, beans, etc.. I made up my mind that we were really doing the people favor in supplying g them with fresh vegetables at a mod crate pric Prom pI one, W n about $16 in this ways, Gcds got $S of that.

man had reeled Maj. Myers off while he
was acting as escort to Vice President
Marshall during the latter's visit to the
exposition. And these pictures hap
pening to be shown here last week, at
sight of the popular major his friends
in the audience greeted his smiling
salute with good round of applause
1t will be remembered that Maj. Jack
Myers achieved distinction at the time of
the Boxer uprising when he led the
marines in scaling the walls of the
Forbidden city. and was himself the first
officer to fly the Stars and Stripes from
the top of the great wall. Desperately
wounded at that time. he was taken to
San Francisco. where for a time his life
was despaired of. He not only got well.
but INDUCED in the happy romance which
as speedily as possible eliminated in his
marriage. 1t is therefore not to be
wondered at that both Maj. and Mrs.
Myers were immensely pleased with the
present California detail.
Admiral Colby VI. Chester was in town
last week, having come from Brooklyn
where, with his family, he has been liv-
Ing for some time past. in order to attend
the Peary dinner. The admiral has al
ways been stanch admirer of the Arctic
explorer, and was one of the first on the
list of invited guests when the recent
dinner was Planned.
