Especial dispatch to Manufacturers Record.l
st. Louis, Mo June 29.-It will be
remembered that some six weeks ago
Daniel J. Sully, the temporarily de-
throned cotton king, announced that he
had quit the ''pit" forever and would
henceforth devote himself to the work
of introducing Improvements in cotton
raising and handling. In accordance
with this determination, all the papers
were signed here today in the orgauiza-

Fundamental feature will be baling at

since secured control of the Whitman

posed to manufacture and sell. Other
operations of the company include fur

the factory. Improved methods of cul-

Record some weeks ago concerning the
organization by Daniel j. Sully of Get
COMMANDING company. together with
Mr.. Sully's declaration that in getting
hold of the Whitman square-bale press
he had secured the machine for making
the only perfect bale, induced Mr.. Scar
fles to personally examine the Whitman
press and bale before going any further
with plans for again taking an active
part in the affairs Of the roundbale COM
pany.- =.
Accordingly. Mr. Searles came to St.
Louis, where the Whitman cotton press
is made, and 1wherest is exhibited in the
Agricultural Palace Of the Worlds Fair
In company with a amechanical engineer
Of international reputation Mr.. SearIes
today made mosNsxhaustive examina-
tion of the press;aHa se bale, and it has
leaked oa thgoash close personal
friend a9a Bnsiaess associate of Mr..
Searles that at the copclYsion of the in
spection he wired to William N. Crom-
well, attorney for the American Cotton
Co., New York, togthe e fleet that the
Whitman process IS entirely practicable;
that it is Thoroughly protected, and in
strong hands would be SO dangerous a
competitor that the American Cotton
Co. must control the Whitman press if
that company is to continue in business.
To bis friends Mr.. Searles unhesitat-
lngly admitted that tie Whitman bale
does all ke had hoped to do with the
round bale, while it antagoDizes mob ,dy
and meets every objection which he had
to fight with the round bale in changing
the form of the package. He practical
ly admitted that it would be folly to t.y
to push the round bale against this newer
and better invention. Another point
recognized by him as of great value in
the proposition as outlined by the Sully
company is the determination to attempt
no monopolistic control of the Whitman
press, but to put them on sale to every
body. BY the way, as showing the pop
ular favor it is receiveng, Mr.. Edward
Atkinson, the cotton insurance expert of
Boston, has suggested as fitting name
for the Whitman-S -Sully bale the Under
bale. 1t is understood that the
suggestion will be adopted.

Twenty years is the usual term for
which life policies are issued, and
when you make a contract for that
length of time, would 1t not be wise to
go about it carefully? Do not believe
all you hear, but see for yourself II
it is nominated in the bond" First,
ascertain if the dividends are to be
paid you annually or at the end of
some period; if the latter, shun it, or
you will regret it. Would you buy
bank stock if you were compelled to
wait twenty years for your dividends?
1t should be optional with you to take
your dividends each year to reduce
your premium payments, or, If you pre-
fer to have them accumulate, you
should be credited with the amount of
insurance purchased by these divi-
dends; at the same time you should
have the right to convert your divi-
dend acCumulations into cash when
ever you deem it necessary. Second,
see that your policy provides for
cash as we'll as paid-up surrender val
ue for every year after the second.
Third, read your policy carefully and
note if you will receive your dividend
accumulations with your cash surren-
der value in event you desire to drop
your policy. These features are all
combined in the policy contract of the
Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance
Company, organized 1851. A specimen

HAS BEEN NO DROP
IN PRICE OF MEAT.
Butchers Say Demand Has Fallen
on and They Are Suffering.


on and They Are Suffering.
Just when the price of meat will
drop the Savannah butchers are IN
able to state and many customers are
still cutting it out"
Western meat is still being received
in Savannah, but not in the quanti-
ties the butchers and branches of the
packing houses have been accustomed
to. For this reason it is doubtful
when the prices will again reach the
normal
There is no doubt that the demand
has fallen off" said a well known
butcher yesterday. THE fact that
there is plenty of fruit in market is
largely responsible for this falling off
in the demand for meat. Then, too,
so much in the papers about the
troubles of the packers has caused the
consumers TO imagine they cannot af-
ford to eat meat. This, of course,
hurts and we are not getting the orders
we used to.
q have not yet handled any native
meat, and hope I will not have to, al
though some of the butchers are selling
it, This meat is not near so good as
the Western product, because the cat
tie is not properly looked after. The
meat is tough, and unless the meat
situation becomes more critical than 1t
now is | shall keep away from the ma
tive article in its present condition.
No one is more anxious for conditions
to become normal than the butchers
themselves, for we are losing money
every day"

price was paid before the company
went into bankruptcy. The vendors
sought to recover the machine or get
the balance of $1,919,97 due on it, with
interest. After hearing argument
Judge MacDonell held that the balance
should be paid by the trustee, the Sa-
vannah Trust Company.
In the case of T. j, Davis, bankrupt,
an order was passed by Referee Mac
Donell confirming bids for certain real
estate owing the estate of the bank
rupt.
In the case of Leon Fried, bankrupt,
on petition of John e. Schwarz, trus-
tee, Referee MacDOnell passed an or
der directing the sale of the entire
stock and fixtures and accounts, after
advertising them for ten days. Bids
will close Aug. 3d.
In the case of James A. Harm, bank
rupt, the first meeting of the creditors
was held in the Office Of the Referee.
Mr.. w. H. Eskedor was appointed
trustee. Only a small amount is in
vOlved, which will be consumed by the

proved.

SOLD STOLEN LOGS
TO RlGHTFUL OWNER
Negroes Were Selling Logs to Com

Negroes Were Selling Logs to Conn
pnny They Stole From.
By stealing logs from the Mill-Haven
Company and selling them back to the
same company, a gang of four negroes
were on the road to a small fortune,
but their operations were cut short by
the arrest of three of the gang yester-
day. The leader of the gang was not
caught, but the police are confident
they will get him shortly.
The negroes were discovered during
the afternoon stealing logs in the river
belonging to the company. Employees
of the company held them up, but one
of the negroes ran and made his es-
cape. John Cohen, Sam Montgomery
and Sam Houston, all young negroes,
were caught and turned over to the
police. The father of Sam Montgom-
cry, who has been selling logs to the
Mill-Haven Company, is alleged to
have been in the crowd at the time,
but made his escape.
The negroes caught are only about is
years of age. They will be arraigned
before the Recorder Monday.
