SUMTER farmers
HAVE ABUNDANCE
HOMERAISED MEAT
Hogs AWAIT THE SLAUGHTER
More Meat Promised Than
In Many Years

Sumter's thrifty farmers are await
ing suitable weather for saving their
meat supply, which will be greater
this winter than in several seasons.
Nearly every farmer bsS d dne bunch
/, of hogs awaiting the slaughter, and
not a few of them will save meat en-
ough to supply their farms next year.
With cold weather in January hog
killing and packing away Of hams and
bacon will be the order Of the day, AMI
many smokehouses win be filed to
the rafters.
With their meat saved, and barns
filled with hay and corn, and the oat
crop of a half million bushels made
this year in Sumter county, the farm
ers here will not be dependent upon
the West for their supplies next year.
While farmers about Americas arc
waiting upon cold weather for their
hog killing, many of the farmers about
valdosta are this year curing their
meat by the cold storage plan and are
thus independent of weather condi-
tions, which have heretofore caused
the loss of much pork About thirty
thousand pounds of meat have already
been cured at the cold storage plant of
the Valdosta Lighting company this
season, and there are NOW 10y000
pounds in the chilling rooms
All of the farmers who have tried
the plan are well pleased with the pro
cess, and the excellent results. More
of them will put their freshly killed
hogs in cold storage during the re-
mainder of the season, and another
year it bids fair to be more extens-
lively followed A temperature almost
at the freezing point, for period of 81
days is required to cure pork proper
ly, and in this latitude steady dry
cold of that long duration is practi-
cally unknown.
The weather may be ideal when the
hogs are killed, but warm spell a
few days later is almost sure To badly
damage the meat and in many cases
the farmers lose it all Under the
plan they are following now, they kill
hogs regardless of the weather. The
carcasses are brought to the city and
placed in the chill rooms where they
remain for three weeks, the result be-
ing firm, sweet meat, which, when
smoked and properly wrapped will
keep from season to season.

BANKRUPTCY FOR
Big RfORATION;
RECEIVER NAMED
SItGLE STORES IN TROUBLE
Poor Holiday Business The
Cause Assigned

| Boston, Dec. 30.-Six enterprises
controlled by the Siegel Stores cor.
poration in this city and in New
York, were thrown into bankruptcy to-
day, in friendly proceedings institut,
ed in the federal courts. The concerns
did an annual gross business estimat-
ed at 100000, but it is understood
that their Christmas business did moi
come up to expectations and they
found themselves hard pressed by
curtailment of banking credit
The failure had been discounted in
the financial district and had no effect
on the stock market. The companies
for which receivers were named are:
The Fourteenth Street Store, New
York. V
The Simpson-Crawford Company

The Henry Seigel Company, Bos-
ton, department store.

er & Co., of Chicago, although it:
stock is controlled by the Siege
stores corporation, is likewise not af
fccted. On the other hand, its bust
ness is declared to be in a highly
prosperous condition.

Quoted in connection with the Four

States has increased 8 per cent. In the
last ten years, while the livestock per

il any wonder that meat is getting
higher all the time? We hear talk
Of shipping beef cattle into the United
States from Argentine. This country
to which we are looking for partial
salvation on the meat question, has not
allowed its livestock to run down. 1t
has just as much livestock per capita
today as it had ten years ago. What
We need to do in the United States is
to quit seeking outside for temporary
relief from the high price of porter
house and scarcity Of beef cattle, and
go to work and use some of our boast

CARL THOMPSON WINS
SECOND VICTORY FOR
ATLANTA CRACKERS
The Cast-Off Scribe On
Modern Baseball Themes
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

NtNCE it has become the fashion
to write baseball verses which
~ still us, and thrill us, and
luil us to sleep. as old scribe,
attempting after long years OF
inactivity, to say a word or two
to the fan flock, is under a serious dis
advantage. For in other years, only
Grantland Rice was afflicted with the
poetic genius or enthralled by the syn
copated muse-just as you would have
it-and, as is we'll remembered. the
scribe of Tennessee was soon consid-
cred too good for Southern league
society. Another Nashville prodigy at
tempted verse-baseball verse-but his
muse was too gentle for such worldly
subjects as home run drives and strike
outs with the bases full. and soon he
sung of love and melancholy days and
the cooling dove of early spring. Dick
Jemison, in the long ago, attempted
verse. as did P. Whiting. Both aban-
doned the pursuit, however, when Will
Hamilton tried his hand. With Ham
alone in the field, Tom Scarborough
thought he had a glorious opportun-
ity. He finally yielded. however, and
went into politics.
So much for the old school. In this
day and time, however. they all lift
their young voices In soft refrain, and
the fan is fed with such delicious
moonshine stuff that he has to depend
on his dreams for a real insight into
the baseball situation.
They do not write baseball as 1t was
written in the olden days.
For instance were one of the aged
scribes to write the facts in the case
the Birmingham case-he would de-
clare right off the bat that unless
Manager Molesworth picks up a real
pitcher in a day or two, the fight is
lost. He would express the hope that
the latest addition, Gregory, might
prove of value. He would shed tear
for the lost wing of Raymond Boyd.
But even while he wept, he would cry
out to high heaven, Give us real
pitcher"
For there is no doubt but that Bir-
mingham will require a real pitcher If
the first division is to be entered and
held for the remainder of the season.
AT the present time, the outlook in
dicates q Baronial variation around
the 500 mark, and the odds are just
as great that we will finish below as
above the middle ground.
Gregory comes hailing from the will
derness. He might prove to be pro-
totype of the "old MASTER himself.
Perhaps he will display a genius as
eccentric as Rube Waddelrs. He might
have the dazzling speed of Walter
johnson, and the effective splitter" of
an Eddie Walsh. He might have the
cunning of an Eddie Plank. and the
staying properties of an Albert Ben
der. And then again, he might not.
And the fact remains, coldly staring us
IN the face, that without another real
er, Birmingham has no more
az. ce of finishing in the first divi-
aa than j. Johnsing has of joining
shf angelic chorus in the land of
N.tss and honey.
