The great stock yards strike, expect.
ed to paralyze the meat industry for
a time at least, began Tuesday. Ow-
ing to the refusal of the packers TO
grant a demand fer increased wages,
what promises to be n of the most
extensive strikes in the history of the
packing industry of the United States
was begun in Chicago, Kansas City,
Omaha, st. Joseph, Mo-, and other
cities where large packing plants are
located. If prolonged, this strike is
expected to cause such widespread in
convenience as was never before
equaled, except by the anthracite coal
famine of two years ago.
No one can foreteli how long the
strike will last. Meat in Chicago took
a big jump in price al once. With
In a short time it will be impossible
for the city householder to secure meat
at all, unless the packers succeed in
running their establishments with ION
union labor. More than $4,000 men and
their families are involved in the move
ment which has enforced this great
idleness. In Chicago alone $1,000 men
are on strike, and 10000 more work
ers, whose services as electricians,
s~teamftters, firemen, engineers, a
workers, painters, clerks, b~ookkeepers
and transfers will not be needed, will
be thrown out of employment.
What Men Demand.
A uniform rate of wages, the mini
mum to equal the maximum now paid,
a stationary date for the expiration of
all agreements, a fixed Giving" wage
for unskilled workers, nonrestriction
of union influence and no more than
ten hours a days work are some of
the essential requests of the union
which have been incorporated into a
platform upon which the general off,
Gals have accepted the strike power.
Anti-union, a~nti-increase and opposi-
ton to all demands is the platform
upon which packers representing an
aggregate wealth Of $107, 100000 have

TAX RATE is FIXED
LOWEST IN STATE.
Sumter Again Leading Rest
of Georgia.
RATE FIXED is So so UPON $1,000
County Commissioners Met Monday
and Levied Rate, Which is Lowest
in Many Years and the Lowest
of Any Georgia County,

Nine dollars and fifty cents is the
rate levied for the taxpayers of Sumter
county this year; the lowest rate that
has boon named here in Sumter in very
many years, and less than that of any
other county.
This was the good work done by the
county commissioners Monday.
The rate actually levied by the com.
missioners for Sumter county was
81 70 upon each 81, 900 of taxable prop
perty. To this is to be added the rate
Of 81. 50 as levied by the state.
This gives total of So 80 upon each
81, 200, the lowest rate Sumter has had
in many years. Last year the total
state and county rate was $12 per 81, 900,
thus making the reduction this year
S., so per 81, 900.
And for the lessening of the burden
the taxpayers are thankful,
The increased rate last year was
brought about by the establishment of
the county changing system, its cos tIy
road machinery and the erection of the
necessary buildings
All this has now been paid for, and
the tax rate is much reduced
Then, too, the commissioners decid-
cd thai, instead of fixing a rate that
would raise large sum that might not
be actually required, they would fix
the rate at figure that would carry
the county over next summer.
And, should q few hundred dollars
be needed, it would be better to Dor
row this sum to tide over rather than
raise large amount by taxation, out
of the pockets of property owners.
Bat it is believed now that the rate
of $40 will raise every dollar for or
binary expenses.
The commissioners are to be cons
graduated upon having tbus lowered
the rate. Conditions are much i'm.
proved, and values in Sumter county
showed an increase of nearly half
mil ION dollars this year.
Now let the city council take the cue
from the county board, and in fixing
the city rate whack that war tariff of
SIS per 81. 900 considerably.

CITY is STRICKEN IN
DEATH OF LESTER.
Young Soldier Of Americas
Killed.
FRANK LESTER is THE VICTIM
While Doing Guard Duty on Train He
Fell Beneath Car and is instantly
KilIed-5ody Brought Back to Amer
icus Monday.

Americus learned yesterday morning
of the tragic and terrible death of Pri
vate Frank Lester, of the Americas
Light Infantry, which occurred Sun
day morning near Greensboro, N. G.
while his command was en- route to the
maneuvers at Manassas.
Previous kilograms announced a
serious accident to him, but not until
yesterday was the terrible story of his
tire gic death told.
And Americas today will witness the
saddest funeral in years.
It was indeed a shocking and terrible
ending of trip begun with 80 much
pleasure, and naturally cast gloom
over the hundreds of soldiers aboard
the special train.
A letter yesterday from Lieut.. Alien
Fort, commanding the Americas com
pany, gave brief details of the acct
dent resulting in the death of young
Lester. He was doing guard duty at
the time, and was stationed inside the
door of one of the coaches.
Suddenly the coupling gave way,
the cars parted, and young Lester was
hurled upon the track in front of the
coach following, several wheels pass
ing over his body.
Death, no doubt, was instantaneous,
though this is not stated.
The mangled body of the young
soldier, only a moment before SO fall
of life, of hope and promise; buoyant
with youth and spirit, was viewed by
his stricken companions and others on
the military train.
Many were deeply affected and gave
vent to their feelings.
Lieut., Fort, with Privates Charles
Smith and Brooks Shipp, left the train
and remained with the body. The cit
liens of Greensboro gave them every
assistance, and expressed keen sorrow
at the fearful accident. The special
train then proceeded to Manassas.
Lieut.. Fort and Privates Smith and
Shipp returned here with the remains,
acting as an escort
The body was expected at noon yes
terday and the Light Infantry, with
drums muffied, went to the station to
meet it. However, the funeral party
did not come until last night, when it
was given military escort to the Lester
home on Prince street.
No occurrence in recent years has
caused such universal sorrnw here.
Frank Lester was the second son of MIR
and Mrs. J. ". Lester. He was eigh-
teen years of age; a handsome, strong,
genial young man, esteemed in the
highest among hundreds of friends.
The funeral services will be held
a. o'clock this morning at Oakgrove
Cemetery.
