HARD UP, PACKERS
FORMED TRUST TO
NEGOTIATE LOAN

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 4.-That the pack
ing companies were hard up in 1902
and were forced to organize the Ma
tional Packing Company in order to ne
gotiate a loan was the principal point
in the argument of Attorney Ralph
Crews, of the packers counsel, in his
reply to the charges raised by Assist
ant Attorney General Revelle, of the
state of Missouri.
Crews, in his argument, declared that
in 1902 Charles Armour, Edward Nor
ris and Gustavus F. Swift, heads of
the three packing companies whose
Missouri owned concerns the state is
! seeking to GUST, were hard UP and were
forced to negotiate a loan from Kuhn.
Loeb & Co., to meet an obligation of
SIS, 900 due the First National bank
of New York city. The National Pack
ing Company, which took in the St.
Louis Dressed Beef and Provision
Company and the Hammond Packing
Company of St. Joseph, was organized
by Armour, Morris and Swift as indi-
viduals, the stock being held by them
and in their names. That the organ
ization of the National Packing Com
pany was necessary to secure the loan
constituted the chief argument raised
by Mr.. Crews.

0ptimiStS of PeSSimists.
BY a Mere Man

The boys corn show in the capt.
toll is most interesting and highly
creditable. Every Georgian must
be proud of the youngsters re-
sponsible for that splendid exhibit,
and everybody who attends the
show applauds and approves the
same.
Nevertheless and notwithstand-
ing, to my mind the girls pickles
and preserves show is even better.
1t is more Immediately interest
ing, anyway.
The pickles and preserves show
comes upon the visitor as more or
less of a surprise. for one thing.
He isn't looking for anything Of the
kind, for not much has been said
about it in the newspapers. Be
fore he knows it, he stumbles upon
it-and then his obs" "ahs" and
"ums," bursting from him mvolun-
tarily and actually before he is well
aware the why, bespeak his ready
recognition of the beautiful and the
genuinely good.
Nothing Like 1t in the Stores.
No fancy grocery store in Atlan-
ia today can, or does, show such
fine specimens of the picking and
preserving art-an art that runs
the scale from sour to sweet and
back again-as this girls exhibit
shows in the state capitol. 1t whets
the appetite to stroll through it.
The blackberry jam calls up vi
sions of the good old days" when
battercakes were the solids OF
which breakfasts inevitably We're
built, and jam the cement with
which the glorious whole was held
together until the initial act of as
similation took place!
Shall such eating be provided for
mortals again in this world-shall
the tender grace of the jam that is
gone ever come back to me?
Like Grandma Used to Make.
Mayhap, and the girls pickles and
preserves show make that profound
and lasting impression upon NlSl-
tors it surely should!
Such pickles-liBe grandma used
to make-you know And every
thing that can be canned, for that
girls show has been canned-to-
matoes, wax beans, corn, butter
beans. all sorts of berries, beets,
even Irish potatoes. And pickles
cucumbers, artichokes, peaches,
green tomatoes and caulifiower.
AS for mixed things-one may be
puzzled to know what to call them,
but one knows they are ticklish to
the palate, all right!
There are fruit juices and jel-
lies on display in the girls show

BERGER AGENT
Of PESS|M|SN
Socialist Sees Dire Conditions
For Future, and End Of
Solid South.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Declaring
that IF it had not been for Mr. Roose-
Welt and his semi Socialist platform,
the Socialists would undoubtedly have
polled 100000 votes in the last cleo
ton, instead of 100000, Representative
Victor Berger, the only Socialist in con-
gress, predicted today that the ne"
Democratic administration under Pres
ident- elect Wilson would fail to satisfy
the people and that there would be a
big industrial panic in the course Of
the next two years.
The Republican party was smashed,
but the Democratic party was almost
repudated," says Berger Analysing the
result Of the election and pointing out
that Wilson had 100000 less votes
than William ]. Bryan polled four
years ago.
The Democratic party, of course,
continued Berger, will have all the
Federal offices for four years and Is,
therefore, juoilant. But it will also
have all the responsibilities and trou-
bles during the next four years that
the Republican party has had in the
past.
In other words, while the Republi-
cans We're defeated because they were
conservative, the Democrats will get
theirs because they are reactionary.
And the poor Democratic party is
controlled by a coalition Of the South
and Tammany. 1t can not help being
reactionary.
An industrial panic is due in about
a year. That will mean Democratic
hard times and soup Kitchens This
time the panic win strike the South
break up the solid South and give rise
to riots and disturbances.
There is really no difference between
the Democratic and Republican parties
as the parties now stand in congress
Formerly the pie counter formed the
bridge that connected the factions OF
the Democratic party, but there Is not
political pie enough to supply all the
hungry Democratic statesmen"
