abattoir every butcher has his
own stock pens, and they are re-
quired to deliver all animals to
them. We then inspect, slaught-
err and place in cold storage, and
deliver for the price above stat
ed.
The type of our reduction
plant is such that after a charge
IS placed in it and this hermetical-
ly sealed it is not opened until
the finished products are taken
off in condition that they are
practically odorless.
We have never undertaken any
enterprise which has commended
itself to our people as strongly as
our abattoir and reduction plant
When we undertook to vote the
bonds for it there was quite a
good deal of opposition among all
our people. Both the plant and
the plan were considered imprac.
teal and visionary, but there is
not now, so far as | have been
able to hear since we began ope,
ration, single dissenting voice
and our people appreciate il
more than any improvement we
nave ever undertaken

A really good well-bred beef
bull will do wonders in raising
the quality of the cattle in a
nelghbOrhood. Bred to common
scrub cows, his offspring will
bring at weaving time just about
twice what the offspring of a
scrub bull bred to the same type
of COW will bring. A scrub bull
might be presented to neighbor-
hood without cost and the stock
men could not afford to use him,
If first class bloc1xy beef bull
could he purchased at under $3.50.
A yearling bull, if fed and
cared for, is capable of string 40
to 80 calves in a neighborhood
the first year. Call calves sired
by a scrub bull worth $12 q can
buy them at that figure and
calves from pure-bred beef bull
worth $25, (they are very hard to
buy at this figure, and your pure.
bred bull has earned $500 more
The first wear than has the scrub
bull. The truth is that. good
beef bulls can be bought at. very
much less than $3.50 each and
their offspring will sell now at
nearer $35 each than $25, 50 if a
man is studying beef. raising
from the dollar standpoint, he
realizes at once that he conldn t
afford to have a scrub bull given

A LONG FELT WANT.

Meeting a negro, certain
southern gentleman asked him
how he was getting on.
The negro assumed troubled
look and replied:
"Oh, SO fars physically goes,
I'm all right; but / sure do have

"Well, Sam, I'm sorry to hear
that. What seems to be the mat
ter?
"She thinks money grows OH

WHAT THE MARKS ON OLD
CHINA MEAN.

Almost every family has one or
more pieces Of old china. 1t may
be plate or a teapot brought
from the old country sometimes
a soup tureen or punchboWe'
handed down in the family from
past generations often an odd
or curious bit of pottery "prcked
up at an auction or brought in
a curio shop.
Almost every piece OF CHINA
bears the mark Of the maker,
from which it is possible to de
termine just when and where IT
was made. There are thousands
and perhaps tens of thousands OF
such pottery marks known to eX-
perts. Many Of these marks are
illustrated and their meanings eX-
planned in an article in the Jan

PROPOSED ATTACK ON
TRUSTS.

One Of the leading propositions
recommended by President Will
son in his recent address to Con-
gress was the enactment OF bill
to remove all the doubt and in
definiteness now surrounding the
Sherman law against trusts and
combinations in restraint of bus
mess and make it the duty Of the
courts when such matters are
brought before them that the
rule of reasoi. will not have to
be resorted to, but will be entire
ly eliminated from the purview
of the judicial tribunals.
The president has distinctly
stated that the Sherman law is
not to be repealed, but such adj
ditions are to be made to it that
the debatable ground which the
courts had to cover will be set
tied by legislation. The presi-
dent would have it defined by law
what are restraints in trade, how
they are caused by contracts or
mere agreements to do some
thing, whether it is done by cut
ing rates so as to kill off compe-
tition and then by raising rates,
or by c0rnering some sorts of pro-
ducts so as to control the prices!
Anther point is that what is
called the interlocking of corpo-
ration directorates is to be strict
ly prohibited. A man who is a
director in the board of a bank
shall not at the same time be
director in a railroad board, or in
that Of mercantile corporation,
directorates is to be strictly pro-
hibited. A man who is direc-
tor in the board of a bank shall
not at the same time be direc-
tor in a railroad board, or in that
OF q mercantile corporation, or
Of any manufacturing concern
that deals extensively with banks
and railroads.
But the most strenuous and
unusual requirement is that when
. corporation or combination en-
gagged in any sort Of business
shall be brought into court
charged with combining or other
wise action in restrain Of bust
ness, the prosecution, which is
virtually the United States Gov
eminent, shah not be required
to prove any Of the charges or
allegations made in the case
against the defendant. The en-
tire burden Of proof is to be on
the accused corporation or com.
bination. 1t will have to prove
its innocence.
Thus, where any transactions
extending through considerable
time produce conditions wherein,
no matter how entirely innocent
the accused may be, the said ac-
cused cannot by any possibility
establish his or its guiltlessness,
unless "Mr. Weller's" infallible
defense at law, an "alibi" can
be availed Of, the corporation,

MUNICIPAL ABBATO1R.

mayor Ed. II. Inclusion, of
Paris. Texas, gives the following
description Of successfully ope-
rated municipal abattoir.' Mayor
McCuiston writes as follows:
"The city of Paris began the
operation of municipal abattoir
on the first day of December,
1909, and we are delighted both
with the services rendered and
the plan which we are pursuing
Our plant consists of an abattolr
and cold storage house, which
in height is two stories, also a re-
duction plant which is operated
with the same machinery and I'M
der the same roof, but in differ
ent departments.
Our plan is that all animals
slaughtered for the local markets
shall be brought to the munich
pal plant, and there undergo first
live inspection by thorough
ly competent inspector, after
which they are slaughtered and
then undergo the dead inspec-
ton. The rules governing the
inspection are the same as OBJ
served by inspectors of the Ma
tional government in the packing
plant Of the country.
After the cond inspection all
carcasses pass into a chill room
on overhead trolleys, where the
temperature stands at 40 degrees
Fair, remaining there twelve
hours, and are then moved into
the refrigerating room proper,
where the temperature is main
tanned at about 30 degrees Fair.
Immediately after an animal is
slaughtered the offal is taken in
tubs by a pulley up to the second
story, and then by an overhead
trolley into the reduction depart
ment, and is dumped into the re-
duction plant.
The chill room, cold storage,
and, indeed, all floors, except in
the boiler room, are of concrete,
and the entire building is con-
structed with special reference
to perfect sanitation. Water
hydrants are everywhere. Con-
crete floors are laid to grade,
which enables them to be washed
and drained properly and per-
fectly. All water from the wash
ing Of floors or walls goes out
through bell traps, which are
water-sealed, into a nearby sep
TIC tank. All condensation and
wash water when the floors are
washed in the refrigerating room
are likewise promptly trapped
out.
The products Of our reduction
plant are tallow and tankage.
The odors from the reduction
plant which are not condensed
and trapped into the sewers 60
under the firebox of the boiler
and are consumed there.
We charge for inspection,
slaughtering and delivering on
the hook in the butcher shop the
sum of. 81 % for each beef. and
IS cents for each hog, calf, sheep
and goat carcass. These charg-
es also include five days refrig-
Grafton. Refrigeration in excess
OF five days is charged for at
the rate of 10 cents per day per
carcass.

AN INIQUITY IN TAX AS
SESSMENTS.

About the most damnable po-
litical iniquity in the South to-
day is our unjust and unequal
system of tax assessment.
Not many miles from our office,
for example, is a tract OF land
which the town is building
around but which the owners are
holding unimproved for hgher
prices. And yet, while these
owners are holding back the
progress of the town, are cheat
ing its inhabitants out OF the
right TO convenient homes, how
does the city deal with them :
Does it penalize them for thus
holding up the public, for their
lack of spirit? Does it say, as
England says in such eases, 1t
is the people who are making
your land more and more valu-
able all the time and the people
have a right to part of the gains.
SO we will levy tax OF one-fifth,
or 90 per cent upon your un-
earned increment'-the increase
in value due not to your efforts
or improvements but simply to
the growth of population.
Not a bit of it. On the con
trary, our Southern city does
what nearly every other Southern
city and Southern county does.
1t taxes this property held Tor
speculation, for greed and covet-
BUSINESS, at from one-half to one
tenth the rate at which it taxes
the poor man who has bought a
little lot or little farm, who has
built little home on it as a
bulwark of the State, and is
struggling to pay for it. THAT
idle property is worth $l,Soo an
acre." said a real estate man as
we passed this tract few days
ago. land it is assessed at about
1920 per acre"
The same week a friend gave
us a similar illustration from the
country. A man near his town
had $50 acres Of superb timber
and farm land which had been
assessed for years at $1,000. At
last a lumberman came along and
offered the owner $4,000 just
for the timber on this 81, 600 (O
tract. Then the assessors started
TO put the assessment up to ST.
500 and the owner prayed, plead
and protested, so that the coun-
ty commissioners reduced the as
sessment to $4,000. A little lat
err he died and the property sold
for over 100000.
How long will it take our peo-
pie to get it into their heads that
lands held for speculation, the
unused and partially used lands,
should be taxed not half as high
i but twice as high as the lands OF
the small home-owner? And how
, long will it take our small far
mers to get it into their heads
that they must pay enough extra
tax on their little homes to make
up for all that the government
loses by not taxing the specula-
tors tracts at their sale value
And how much longer will it be
before we make our politicians
reform this ancient iniquity?- p

FARMERS AND LIFE INsUR.
ANCE.

One trait we need to cultivate
in the South almost as much as
anything else is the old-fashioned
New England virtue of thrift
saving. Especially right now al
money for the years crops is
coming in should we inculcate
this virtue. Of course, you should
get all needed tools for the farm
and comforts for the home, wat
erworks, paint for the house, ETC.,
etc., but avoid letting agents fool
you into paying three or four
prices for anything; and do not
decide suddenly to get some-
thing you have not long felt the
need of. Then put any surplus
funds into a savings bank, or
take out life insurance policy
for your family. Life insurance
has been too much neglected by
our farmers.
Life Insurance." as President
Roosevelt has we'll said, "puts a
premium upon those habits of
thrift and saving which are 50 es-
sential to the welfare of the peo-
ple;" and Grover Cleveland put
the matter straight in his char
acteristically blunt fashion when
he said:
Get a policy, and then hold
on to- it. It means self-respect,
It means that nobody will have to
put something in a hat for you
or your dependent ones if you
should be snatched away from
