OVER \ MILLION
To BE BORROWED
New York Bankers May Loan Large
Sum to Palmetto State to Keep Its
Government in working Order.

Columbia, March 2..-Eight hun
ired thousand dollars.
Inat IS jne amount which II has
been reported would be necessary for
the finance board CT the State to bor-
row N order to administer the affairs
OF the State government in antici2a-
ton OF the collection Of taxes.
1t has been learned that this $500
coo is less than two-thirds OF the
amount which ii is necessary 10 bor-
row.
The loans which must be secured
at his time. is S1.25U.000. and ii Is
understood that Mr.. J. Pope Malth-
ews. president OF the Palmetto Ma
tional bank. is now in New York OIL
behalf of the State in an effort to Sc
cure the money a the lowest possible
rate of interest.
When State Treasurer S. T. Carter
was seen by your correspondent he
said, in reply to a direct question, that
the amount of $S00000 was needed
at this time; that negotiations were
now in progress looking towards Sc
curing S1,250,000 and that probably
in the near future the total amount
of s1.eO0,000, authorized to be borrow
ed under the appropriation act of
1917, ould be secured.
The following question was submit
ted to Attorney General Thomas H.
Peoples:
'It is currently reported that the
amount of the State loan which the
finance board is negotiating is ST.
25O,OOO, instead of sS00,O0O, as hereto
fore stated, and that your legal ad-
wise has been asked in regard TO tne
matter. Is this correct?'
Attorney General Peoples in reply
stated: 81 can not at this time say
anything more than I have already
stated in letter to Mr.. ]. Pope Mat
thews, president of the Palmetto Ma
tional bank of this city, bearing date
of Saturday, March "a in which /
took the position that, under the pro-
vision of section 43 of the appropria-
ton act, approved February q, the
governor, State treasurer and comp
troller general are authorized to bor-
row in a sum or sums an amount OF
money not in excess of $1,600,O0O, and
that any sum or sums borrowed un-
der the provisions of this act would
be a valid obligation Of the State
The appropriation bill carries near
ly s3,OOO,O0O. The general financial
condition of the State now demands
that almost half Of the total amount
appropriated be borrowed before the
end of the first quarter Of the year.
The financial situation is probably
the most acute which has arisen
since the State was redeemed from
Republican and radical rule in 1875.

FOOD BILL GOES
TO HIGHER LEVEL
Average for Family Now s425.54.-
Wages Can't Keep Up.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The an
nual food bill of the average family
has grown from $339.30 in 1918 to
s425.54 at present, the department
of labor announced today in a review
of food prices. In ten years the de-
partment's experts estimate the ad-
vance in the cost of food has so far
outstripped wage increases that the
workman who drew So a day in 190I
now finds himself just SO cents a day
worse off.
The heaviest increase In food prices
during the last four years is shown
in notatoes, the cost of which has
risen from s1S.96 to s44.69 Other
large increases are in eggs, from
$3.50 to s43.O7; -four. s15.12 to
$3.50; butter, s45.72 to s54.7S: Of
the whole list of foods only s1rloln
and round steak are cheaper than hVe
years ago.
In the period from January Is to
February Is food prices took per
cent. lump. Onions led with a II per
cent. increase. Potatoes went up ~
per cent. Eggs alone uecIeaseu Ill
price. ,o,u
It is estimated that if dollar S
worth of food bought in 1907 weigh
ed ten pounds it would weigh today q
trife more than seven pounds.
"Cold storage, rebilling, reshlpplng
and withholding of commodities from
market are suspected to contribute
to the present abnormal rise in the
prices of food,' says the depart
ment's statement whether some
persons have conspired to engross me
markets. the department of labor can
not state. But the reports OF the
bureau of labor statistics seem 10
lend some color to such an oplnlon
viewed in the light of conditions re-
vealed by a comparison OF hgures
through a range of years

CONVICT ASKS PAROLE
FOR YOUNGER BROTHER
When But One Release Is Pos
sible, Makes Generous
Christmas Sacrifice

TRENTON, Dec. II.
In connection with announcement by
the State Board of Pardcns Of paroles
there came to light today n real human
interest story--that of young mahs
sacrifico In order that his brother who
ls even younger. might be set free.
Albert and Perry Nreeland of Pas
sale county. are the youths. Albert
who was 10 years old when sentenced
Ave years ago to serve from nine 10
sixty-three years for burglary. petitloned
the board for parole.
Perry, who Is twenty-four and Who
was sent to prison two years ago for "a
term of five to fifteen years for larceny,
also presented an application.
During consideration of the cases the
board called the older boy before it
and asked him which should he freed
in the event that only one parole could
he granted without hesitation Perry
urged that his brother be the one, say
ing that he had never had a chance,
was younger and had been in prison
longer.
Albert Is free as a result while Perry
will spend his Christmas as convict
