GOVERNOR HARRIS
CONSIDERS PLAN
GETTING MONEY

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 5.-Governor
Harris is now considering the question
of borrowing money, not for himself
but for the state of Georgia. He needs
it to pay the school teachers.
The chief executive, who has been
looking into the Golfers of the state,
has ascertained that only 10 per cent.
$25O,OO0, of the 1915 appropriation OF
two million and a half dollars to the
common schools of the state, has been
paid.
1t appears that the loan must be
negotiated, otherwise the teachers will
not get any more money on their pres
ent years salaries until next year,
probably February. Governor Harris
has been consulting with tn. state
treasurer and state superintendent Of
schools and will shortly confer with
Georgia and New York bankers to as.
certain upon just what terms he ca1
obtain loan.
Corporation taxes are now coming in
to the state treasury, and the regular
taxes will be paid in December. But
the money which is now being collecg-
ed by the state will be used first to pas
for the extra session of the legisla-
ture, which begins in November the
maintenance expenses of the state in
stitutions and the unpaid special ap-
preparations to these institutions.

Repentance plus faith equals re-

This was one of the many express.

His theme was "Consecration," and
as this earnest preacher went into his

STEEL BRIDGES
PURCHASED FOR
SUMTER COUNTY

Some time ago the county commits
sjoners of Sumter decided that it would
be the part of economy to supplant
every wooden bridge of size or import
ance with structures of steel and con
crete, and to that end the county
forces are now building steel bridges
over all streams crossing Sumter's
highways. Two bridges over Mucka-
lee and Town creeks, here in the city.
alone, represent cost of $4,000.
Concrete bridges have been put up
at other points as well, and other still
are projected.
The Wilburn bridge, a large ane
cumgersome old wood structure, span
ming Kinchafoonee creek on the SUM-
ter-Terrell line, is now being torn
down, and modern steel structure, to
be paid for jointly by the two counties,
will replace it. The bridge will he
built under direction of Mr.. john
Mozo and Supt Henry Christian, OF
the roads department.
Convicts will do the work very large
ly, Sumter and Terrell each furnish
ing their quota of zebras.
At the meeting Of the Sumter coun-
ty board yesterday afternoon it was
decided to erect substantial steel
bridges over Line creek, on the Roach
plantation road, and across Little
Muckalee, at which is now known as
the Arlington bridge, on a second
class road near the Sumter-Schley
county line.

COTTON SCARS;
FIFTEEN CENTS
SEEMS ASSURED
FARMERS MAY HOLD PORTION OF
THEIR CROP.

Americus warehouses are, today,
more than ever. centers of interest
with the phenomenal rise of more than
three dollars bale yesterday alone
in the price of cotton. Another dollar
additional was scored this morning.
when the market topened at an sd
vance of % points over yesterdays
close, and still higher attitudes will be
attained. 1t surely looks like fifteen
cents, the ultimate goal, and this may
be reached very soon.
In the early picking season it was
reported from the country that farm
ers were not disposed to hold cotton,
but were quite willing to sell as long
as they could get s cents or better. In
the course of several weeks the price
has jumped four cents pound. and
that with only a small part Of the crop
scld.
AS is usually the case, now that the
price is better, the farmer is less in
clined to sell.
He argues that the price having ris-
eli from &c to 12c, it can just as well
advance from 12c to 15c. And if il
should go to Is cents, he would be still
stronger in the conviction that it
would reach IS.
While the advance is based on sound
economic reasons, it is also true that
so far it is almost entirely speculative
in process. There is little active de-
mand for consumptive purposes as yet
SPECTATORS formed the opinion that a
higher price was warranted on the ex-
listing conditions than that prevailing
when the upward movement set in.
Twelve cents has been a reality for
several days. When will Is cents be
reached?

of one food -Cornstarch--sh
would enlarge the range of her cook
ing possibilities immensely In add
tion to constituting the basis Of many
toothsome desserts, Cornstarch can be
used incidentally with much benefit N
many ways.
For instance, the housekeeper can
prepare her own pastry flour by mix
ing cornstarch with her regular bread
flour in the proportion of one part

flour according TO the amount o.
gluten in the bread flour she is using
By lightly dGstinC a cake with corr
starch she can prevent icing from
running off while being spread 4
little cornstarch introduced into the
juicy fruit pie, such as rhubarb, cher
ry. etc, prevents its running over.
Cornstarch also is fine fer powderng
candies, such as marshmallows, etc.
while it can be used in hundreds of
other ways too numerous to mention.
To insure satisfactory results. how
ever, it is essential that the best quail
Ity cf cornstarch be used. This can
be assured by insisting upon the ia
nous Kingsford's brand, which can be
obtained at all modern grocers Those
who obtain the best results with corn
starch recipes always depend upon
King 4ford's.
