MAN FOR COSTS

Because Eli Davidson came to town
while working u costs paid for his
release from the workhouse by L. F..
was repaying by working on his farm,
Richardson sought to have him charged
with vagrancy and also had n warrant
sworn out for his arrest on a charge
Of stealing a suit Of underwear. Both
Warrants were dismissed by Judge
Richards, OF the First criminal court,
Thursday. the Judge ordering the young
man to get himself a Job at once.
Davidson served so days In the work
house after conviction of vagrancy.
Richardson helped to pay out the bal

served his sentence and Davidson was
working on the farm to repay his bene-
factor when the latter warrants were
sworn out.

PACKING PLANT
DOUBLES STOCK
Concern Will Be Able to Pur.
chase ALI Live Stock Of
fered to II.

At a meeting Of the stockholders and
directors of the Memphis Packing cor
poration, held at the office of the presi-
dent, Thornton Newsum, Thursday IT
was decided to increase the capital
stock of the company from $500, 900 to
$l,OO0,Oo The increase In the capital
Of the company was largely due to the
nlghly practical suggestion of M. L.
Burt, recently elected general manager
o. the company, that the working cap
ital should be increased sufficiently to
insure that there would never be a
time that the company could not re-
ceive all live stock offered.
Mr.. Burt was for "a years connected
with Wilson & Co. and their predeces-
sors, S~ulzberger G. Sons Co. He said
that 1t had been his observation that
the big mistake of practically every
independent packing concern organized
was that such a large proportion of
the capital was tied up In the plant
that there was not sufficient operating
capital properly to finance the purchase
of live stock.
1t vas pointed out that the average
time for turning out the packing house
product, from the receipt of the stock
until 1t was ready for the market, was
100 days, and The minimum working
capital should not be less than enough
to purchase all stock offered for a pc
Rod of 100 days. To be unable to
finance the purchase Of all stock Of
fered on the market after it had been
shipped here would practically ruin the
local market.
The original $500, 900 stock was dis
posed of in a very short time after
the proposition became thoroughly
and the sale of the new stock is ex-
pected to be made even quicker. Peo-
pie are writing in to inquire about
stock every day, he says.
Seeking Site.
The proposition is much bigger than
the hackers OF the plant had any idea
raised in the adjacent territory than
the officers Of the company dreamed
Of, and all over the territory the breed
ers and shippers are writing in to
promise cooperation. There is no ques-
ton, Mr.. Newsum says. that the sur
rounding territory promises to become
one Of the greatest live stock producing
centers In the country.
There will be no hurry about the
purchase of a site for the big plant"
said Newsum. I'VE are looking care
fully into the matter Of drainage, sew
erage, trackage and other important de-
tails of all available locations. The city
myself in an endeavor to find the ex-
act location best suited to the needs.
Many sites have been offered and every
one Is being carefully considered.
las to the Importance Of obtaining
a suitable location, Mr.. Burt tells OF
an ideal location for $4,000 to accept
a site donated to 1t and then expended
$28, 900 to make W connections on
the gift site"

Any druggist can supply you with
Zemo. which generally overcomes all
