why MEATS COST so MUCH.

The consuming public has been
groaning and complaining for many
months about the excessive prices 1t
has been called upon to pay for its
meats of all kinds. Every variety of
packing house products has gone up
ward until the bill of living has be-
come almost prohibitive. On many
tables meat has become scarce arti-
Gle. The workingman, whose daily
stipend has not grown with the adj
vance in prices, has been compelled
of necessity to limit his meat rations
to a point far below what it was in
former years.
In answer to the charges of eXtor-
ton the packers have alleged short
age in supplies. They have maintained
that the number of cattle and hogs and
sheep offering for slaughter has been
less in proportion to population, and
that the higher values have been the
natural and inevitable result. The
public has been suspicious as to
the correctness of these assertions
and it's belief that the packers, work
ing through secret combinations, have
really been engaged in plundering
| consumers numerically is borne out
by recent developments showing the
enormous profits made by those en-
gagged in this industry
The New York World cites figures Of
one firm as showing the avarice of the
packers generally. Says it.:
The statement submitted by Armour
| & Co, in connection with the listing Of
bond issue of $30,000,000 in the stocl
exchange shows the packing industr!
to be even more profitable than hat
| popularity been supposed. The com
pany by it's own showing made a gross
profit of $10,582, 900 for the year on
capital stock of $20,000,000 and earned
a surplus of $7,127,9 or the equiva
lent of dividend of 35.6 per cent.
/ Here is something more than thu
potentality of wealth beyond tn
dreams of avarice. 1t is avarice itsel
IN Cle manufacture ana sale OF nee
essity of life. Armour & Co. by thei
own admission have justified thu
charges of extortion brought agains
the beef trust.
In the light of this enormous prof
the explanation of the high prices &
meat recently made by the chairman
of the packers committee require
modification. That explanation wa
in effect that the packers, being oblig
ed to pay higher price for livestock
passed on the additional cost to tn,
dealer, who, in turn, shifted it to tn
consumer. This, however, is not tn,
whole story of the rise of mess bee
from 1885 a barrel in 1906 to $132t
in 1908. For it's full understandin;
there must be taken into account thu
millions in surplus profits reserved b,
the packers to convince Wall street o
the safe and lucrative nature of thei
| business.
1t is the necessity the consumer il
under of paying 35 per cent profit anC
guaranteeing bond issues that makes

PHONE LEADS TO DIVORCE
Wife's Insistent Calling Causes Her
Husband to File Suit.

Boston, Dec. 3.-George L. Holton,
who four years ago, when he was sup
erintendent of a desk company in
Somerville, applied to the superior
court for an injunction to restrain his
wife from annoying him by frequent
calls for him on the telephone, began
proceedings for divorce in st. Louis
yesterday because of his wife's habit.
Mr.. Holton said his employers
threatened to discharge him if his wife
did not stop calling him up every few
minutes.
Il asked her to cure herself of the
habit" said Holmes, land the only
way got little respite was by ap-
plying for the injunction"
The Injunction was denied.

SHOULD BE A DEMONSTRATING
FARM.

There is talk of establishing model
county farm in Chatham. The Cham
Der of Commerce of Savannah is TAX
ing great interest in the project and
it is not improbable that the County
Commissioners will undertake the OPP
GRAFTON of such an experimental sta
ton. 1t is held that such a farm
would speedily demonstrate that many
things can be raised profitably in
Chatham that are not raised there
now, and that the agricultural and
general interests of the county will be
CORRESPONDENCE promoted.
Sumter is fortunate in the fact that
it already has in operation farm that
can do this very work. We refer to
the Agricultural College farm. AS we
understand it, that is one of the pur-
poses, in fact a chief purpose, of that
institution, to bring about a higher
grade and a more diversified agricuI-
ture in this section. We are not post
ed as to the extent to which this has
so far been done. If no steps have
been taken in that direction it is cer-
tainly to be hoped that those in charge
will not lose sight of such an import
ant feature of the college work. The
time is coming, in fact is now here,
when the South must more and more
branch away from the one or two
crops theory, diversity it's farm oper-
atoms to as great an extent as posi-
Bile, and in bringing this about the
Georgia district colleges can do an in
calculable amount of good.
So far as cotton growing is concern
ed, we all know what Sumter can do
in that direction, although no doubt
with heavier fertilizing and carefully
selected seed it's production per acre
could be increased. But there is yet
much to be shown as to what it can do
In the line Of corn, oats, tobacco, veg
etables, small fruits, ETC., and in dairy
ing. The district college should GER
tainly make it point to demonstrate
along these lines. 1t will not be fill
ing the need it is meant to fill if 1t
contents itself with turning out cotton
planters. We do not besseve it's pro-
moters and it's able Superintendent
have such view of the functions of
the institution.
This Chatham county movement
serves to bring into clearer light the
advantages Sumter enjoys from the
presence of the district agricultural
college. Chatham must go to eonsid-
cradle expense in the beginning to Sc
cure, fit up and operate farm. Event
ually it is claimed it will be made
profitable. But here in Sumter we al
ready have the farm and in operation
under the most favorable auspices. If
our farm is made a model demonstrate
ing institution as to what can be done
in various lines with the soils and
climate we have it will undoubtedly
prove a tremendous factor in the de-
velopment of the county and section
generally.

NOTED ST. BERNARD
GOES TO DOC HEAVEN

There are few people in Missoula
to whom Beauty, Mrs. c. A. Derry's
handsome St. Bernard dog, was not a
familiar figure For some time this
splendid animal has been missed from
the streets and there have been many
inquiries as to where she has gone.
Beauty is dead; she succumbed to
blood poisoning, the result of an in
jury to one of her legs, Her death
is deplored by all who knew the dog
and by all who admire fine animals of
her class. Beauty was splendidly bred
and had scored blue ribbons in more
than one bench show. At the an
nual show of the Spokane Kennel club
in 1904 she was awarded four di
plomas, scoring in every class to
which she was eligible. She was one
of the finest dogs of her breed ever
brought to the state, and her death is
a matter of regret to all fanciers of
fine dogs.

WOMAN'S CLUB RESTS

The members of the fund committee
of the Woman's club deserve the rest
which Sunday will bring them today;
they worked overtime yesterday in
preparation for their Easter ball to-
morrow night and when they ceased
their labors last night there remained
but little to do except to put the fin
ishing touches to the hail which is to
be the ball room for the affair. There
is abundant reason for the prediction
that this event will be notable in So
ciety annals great pains have been
taken to insure its complete success
and it seemed last night that nothing
had been overlooked in the Worke
While the general proposition that the
ball will be a society triumph is sig
nficant, it does not convey a proper
idea of the many beautiful details
which have been arranged for the af-
fair. There are some delightful sur
prises in store for those who attend
Aside from the fact that the ball
promises to be a triumph of their
managerial skill the women of the
club find no little satisfaction in the
certainty that the proceeds will give
their building fund big boost.

WEST SIDE PLANNING
IMPROVEMENTS
A MEETING HAS BEEN CALLED
TO DISCUSS MATTERS OF
COMMON CONCERN.

When the question came up as to
how the west side could obtain
school building for it's children that
would be adequate to accommodate
their numbers and suitable for their
proper accommodation, the people of
that part of town got together in a
pleasant neighborhood meeting and
talked the thing over. The outcome
of that meeting was that the city
became interested in the matter and
when the question was formally pre-
sented to the electors of the school
district for their decision they voted
without dissent to give the west side
folks what they wanted
This demonstration of the effects of
concerted action and unity of pur-
pose encouraged the west side resi-
dents and they haYe decided that the
thing for them to do Is to get to-
gether on all questions that concern
the general and local welfare of the
city and of their part of it. They be-
lieVc that they can bring about some
material improvement in conditions if
they meet and formulate plans and
devise ways and means for carrying
them out.
Accordingly, meeting of the people
of the west side has been called for
Thursday night at s o'clock; the gath
ering will be at the school house, and
it is hoped that there will be a large
attendance. Matters will be dis
cussed in which all of the people of
that part of the city are interested
and it will help the good work along
if everybody turns out.

this is attracting the attention of
those who wish to build homes in an
exclusive residence district without
the fear that there will be business
blocks erected near them. The nat
ural beauty of the location, combined
with its great possibilities for i'm
provement, makes Hammond addition
