Armour RIames Farmer.

Chicago, Jan. 24.-J. Ogden Armour
the head of Armour & Co, who has
just arrived from New York. was ask
ed today what he thought about the
high cost of living.
There is only one thing can say,
Mr. Armour replied, "and that is that
the price of fresh beef is only half a
cent q pound higher to the retailer
than 1t was year ago.
With pork the case is different
That is considerably higher. The price
Of live hogs is high, and the price of
corn is high. 1t all comes back to the
farmer when you consider it. If he
does not raise his own corn, it costs
nIm lot more to feed his hogs than
it used to. The high price of corn is
responsible for the high price of meat
There is very little profit in beef it
self for the packer for it is sold to
the retailer at a price that is but a
very small advance over what it costs
Business is in very coed shape, and
there has been complete recovery
from the conditions of two years ago
why is oleomargarine so high?'
Mr.. Armour was asked
"Oleomargarine? Why, because but.
ter is SO high and Mr.. Armour
chuckled at his joke as he dashed for
his train.

SENSATIONS SPRUNG
IN TRIAL OF ]. A. COOPER
IN THE SUPERIOR COURT

above stated case by his attorney at
law, Max Isaac, and before pleading
and arraignment, files this his demur-
rer to said Indictment and for ground
of demurrer says:
Said indictment is fatally defective
because the situs or venue is laid in
the state of Georgia and county of
Chatham in the caption thereof where
as in the body of the Indictment the
venue is laid in the state of Georgia
and county of Glynn; said allegations
being contradictory and irreconcilable
said Indictment is bad.
Said indictment appears to have
ceen presented and framed in Georgia,
Chatham county, before a grand jury
selected, chosen and sworn for the
county of Glynn.
Said Indictment fails to comply with
section 929 of the penal code of Geor-
gia, which requires the county where
the indictment is found, to be stated
in the caption.
Said indictment lays the venue in
two different counties, that is to say,
first in the caption the venue is laid
in Chatham county and afterwards
is in the body of the indictment laid
in Glynn county.
Wherefore defendant prays that
these grounds of demurrer be inquired
quashed."
The first Indictment quashed, Judge
Isaac demanded trial under the four
forgery charges, stating that his client
had been ready at three terms. After
considerable sparring the state moved
that the demand be granted and the
hearing for the present term was
at an end. The collapse Of the trial
was followed by an ovation not often
seen in Glynn superior courtroom.
Among those who were in the group
were number of the witnesses sum
moned by the state, including several
officials of the Western Union.
"a year ago ! wanted to enter suit
for damages" said Mr.. Cooper last
night. "put my counsel insisted
should take no steps until the charges
made against me had come up in
court. Yes, it is true | am put out
of the business for good because there
is practically but one employer in the
way OF telegraphing. Any one who
has felt the full effect of blacklist
knows what it means. | am trying
now to make a living out Of Han
cock county farm and am doing 1t.
l deeply appreciate the many kind
nesses shown me by my friends in
Brunswick"

GREAT MEAT BOYCOTT
IS GROWING RAPIDLY:
BRUNSWICK TO JOIN
TO Be PROSECUTED

Washington, Jan. 24.-The govern
ment Will begin action against the
beef trust under the Sherman anti
trust act. News has been received
here that the federal grand jury in
Chicago will be asked tomorrow to
bring indictments against the meat
trust. These are today's developments
in the now nation wide protest against
the cost of high living.
( The boycott started in Cleveland a
week ago against the purchase of meat
is spreading like wildhre over the en-
tire country, and from all sections
come the reports of thousands of peo-
pie Iledging themselves to abstain
from the use CT meat for at least thirty
days.
Immediate effect of that boycott is
sent i'll the announcements from
Cleveland and Milwaukee that the
, price Of reef has been cut in those
cities. Cleveland reports a drop in
the wholesale price of IS cents a hun
dred pounds, while in Milwaukee two
retail butchers quoted porterhouse
and sirloin steaks at 10 cents a pound
yesterday, and other meats in proper
tion.
New York retail butchers report a
falling off of 80 per cent in the con-
sumption of meat, although wholesale
dealers there laugh at the idea of a
meat boycott.
| Dispatches from Baltimore, Kansas
City, Omaha, Memphis, Pittsburg and
I other cities tell of the rapid growth
of the meat fast.
