qAYEsy11uE DISPENSER SHORT
Investigation Made Thursday by the
County Board-Dispensary Closed,
and Mr.. r. A. Weldon Appointed to
Succeed Dispenser Bass.

Messrs. c. W. Stansill and w. S.
Chandler, of the County Board OF
Control, accompanied by Inspector
Nichols and Bookkeeper Thorpe, OF
the State Dispensary, and Dispenser
Windham, of this city, went to Mayes-
vile Thursday to check up the stock
and accounts Of Dispenser F. ]. Bass,
Of that place.
The stock in the dispensary was
carefully checked over and the books
and accounts thoroughly investigated.
The result Of the examination was
that Dispenser Bass was found to be
s39O.36 short in his account. The
dispensary was Immediately closed by
the County Board, and it will remain
closed until Mr.. r. A. Weldon, who
has been appointed dispenser to sue
ceed Mr.. Bass takes charge tomorrow
or the next day. Mr.. Weldon was for
several years clerk in the dispensary
in this city and is thoroughly famil-.
lar with the business. He has al
ready given satisfactory bond and
will take charge as soon he can ar
range his business to leave Sumter.
Mr.. Stansill stated today that there
was no evidence Of criminality on the
part OF Dispenser Bass and the men,
bers Of the Board Of Control enter
tain no suspicion that he appropriat-
ed to his own use the funds Of the
dispensary. He took charge Of the
Mayesville dispensary only few
months ago, and was at the time Of
his appointment wholly unacquainted
with the business and the duties Of
the position. Mr.. Bass has no idea
how the shortage occurred. The
county will lose nothing, as Mr.. Bass
will make good the shortage, and in
the event Of his inability to do so,
his bond which was furnished by a
surety company, is good for the
amount.

porrEp MEAT NOT PRESERVED.
Manu- facturers' Association and Snn-
itary Inspector So Report.

i Manu- facturers' Association and SAN
itary Inspector So Report.
The following extracts from reports
! OF the National Manufacturers Asso-
citation and Inspector Hedrick, Sanitary
Inspector of the City Of Chicago, refute
| the sensational charges made against
the canned meat packers:
Our investigation of the Canned and
Potted Meat part of the packing industry
showed that the methods used make the
use of preservatives unnecessary, and in
| dicated that no preservatives or artificial
coloring is now used by the Canned Meat
packer.
The meat is first partially cooked in
large kettles, then the fat and bone Is
! trimmed off and the meat packed into
tins. The air is thet withdrawn with
vacuum pumps and the cans sealed in
vacuum. Next they are put into large
cookers, where the cooking process is fin
ished. In the packing of some products
| 1t is necessary that the cans be reopened
and the steam allowed to escape, the vent
hole being Immediately resealed while the
goods are hot, so as to retain the vacuum
The entire process is quite similar to
that used by the family cook when putting
up fruits and vegetables, except that
meats are sealed in tin cans instead of
being put in glass jars. We found that
the solder in making the cans and in
sealing them is all placed on the outside
of the can and does not come in contact
with the contents.
We were informed that much of the
cause for complaint in canned meats was
because of the mistaken idea that the
goods would keep in perfect condition af.
ter they had been opened. This would
be the fact if they were preserved with
chemicals, but as they are only kept in
condition because of being sealed in vac
uum tins they spoil just as readily as
fresh meats do after they have been
opened and exposed to the air, but fll
keep indefinitely if the can is not pune.
tured. 1t is also a well-known scien-
tifc fact that decaying meat generates
a gas which will explode any package
which is hermetically sealed.
Sanitary Inspector Hedrick submitted
to Commissioner Whalen his analysis of
conditions in the Libby, McNeill & Libby
plant. He found with reference to gen.
eral conditions, that the floors. halls,
stairs, tables, etc., are kept clean," and
that the entire epartment--viewed from
BUR standpoint-was in a satisfactory con-
aition. All workrooms are light, and have
good ventilation"
