This fact made clear the meeting county court

In the absence from the city of Frank Laner chosen
chairman OF the rs county meeting Judge A. Hxon made
permanent chairman, and Immediately assumed the chair.

bezzlement, a charge to which he
pleaded guilty. He is said to be an
expert clerical man, and to fit the
position here excellently. He was
brought from Milledgeville last week,
and was "broken in on the job by

Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1919-11-07

1T matters little whether a pack
ing plant ever pays it's stockholders
one cent in dividends-if it gives us
a place to mark our hogs after we
have raised them, it is the thing we
want and the thing we are going to
have now," Judge Hixon saiu.
'The ideal organization would be
one where every farmer, every mer-
chant, owned stock, an organization
large enough to kill million dollars
worth of hogs every month in the
year; and it will take not less than
$250,000 to build and finance plant
of this size"
This, the chairman explained, sim
ply meant that $1,000,000 would be
kept in circulation every month in
this community. The establishment
of the plant here, he said, would
save not only the freight in shipping
our hogs to another plant, but also
would save the shrinkage and loss
from death and accident caused by
rail transportation to another plant.
This loss is estimated at a minimum
of seven pounds per hog, "and the
farmer always pays for this loss,
either directly or indirectly" said
the chairman.
Judge Hixon introduced G. L.
! Brooks, of the Allied Packers, who
now is managing the Macon Packing
! Company. Mr. Brooks repeated his
talk of a few days ago, when he
came to Americus as the guest of the
Chamber of Commerce. Many ques-
tions were asked Mr. Brooks and the
crowd seemed satisfied with all Of his
! answers.
Vote Solid for Plant
Judge Hixon, after the talk by Mr..
Brooks, put this question to the
meeting:
'Do we want a packing plant and
are we willing to go out and sell the
stock and put it over now?' The
response to this question was unani-
nous. If there was an undecided
man present, he was unnoticed when
the crowd stood.
On motion Chairman Hixon was
instructed to name steering com
mittee, which should canvass the en-
tire county in the sale of stock in
the plant. This committee, the chair
man said, would be announced later.
In speaking along the lines of or
ganization, the chairman said, aftet
consultation, it was his opinion that
the stock was to be sold as follows
shares of 500 to $4,000 each; that
it was to be paid, one-ffth on call
that is when the entire block of stock
had been sold and a charter applied

chairman said eve should call for

cation. At this meeting directors and

Under present unsettled conditions
we may be justified in preserving q
greater measure Of military force than
we have had, but we doubt if regular
