Arkansas Governor Fired at In Race War
Packing House and Storage
Plant City's Biggest Need,
Says Morgan, Showing Why

have an ice plant here with cold stor-
age facilities. 1t is true, but we can't
use it, because it is wet cold storage
and we require dry cold storage for a
great many things. And for some
perishables which it is desirable to
carry, we require freezing room.
Could Keep Peaches.
can example of the difference be-
tween wet and dry cold storage may
be had in the case of peaches. If we
had dry cold storage plant, we could
store fresh peaches from 6 to 10
weeks and when taken out they would
be in just as perfect condition as
when placed in storage; in wet cold
storage they will rot shortly. 1t is
easy to see what advantage the hold
ing of peaches might be at times.
"A great benefit would be worked
to the, community in the fact that a
farmer could kill his meat at any time
it was ready, regardless of the
weather; the fresh meat could be
placed in cold storage and either cur
ed there or kept fresh until wanted
for use.
"But the greatest advantage of all
would be the market att home afford
ed the farmers for their live stock,
by which they could obtain better
prices than it is possible for them
now to obtain. This is because OF the
fact that the packer utilizes every
scrap of the animal-he saves and
makes his profit on what we country
butchers have to throw away. There
is not an ounce of an animal that
goes to waste in the packing house; /;
the hair, blood, grease-in fact, ev-
erything from the animal is saved and
utilized. AS a result, for an animal
for which we could pay the farmer
only $35, the packer can pay him $40
and make money, the difference being
in the by-products which he saves
"These are only some of the main
features of packing and cold stor-
age plant. We need it and need it
badly-and need it right now. 1t
would be paying proposition as an
investment, for it would be most lib
orally patronized, am positive, and
would be highly paying to the COM
munity. | know of no other enter
prise that would be of ANYTHING like
equal value to Sumter county. Let's
get together and start something.
Now is the best time in the world
and We'll never need it worse than

Export Of Coca Cola
New Company's Plan

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-The Wall
Street Journal says:
The new interests of the Coca
Cola Co. have arranged for a great
expansion in the companys export
business.
Business of the company, which is
now at the rate of over 100000
gallons annually, is confined to the
United States, Canada and Cuba. 1t
Is now planned to create markets for
che company's products in Europe,
south America, Japan and other for
elgn countries.
Distribution of the company's prod
ucts is expected to be facilitated
through the counsel of Louis K. Lig-
gett, president of the Louis K. Leg
gett Co, and w. F McCaw, president
OF the Proctor & Gamble Distributing
SCo', who were recently added to the
board of directors.
1t is possible that a regular quar-
terly dividend be declared on the
common stock in the first quarter of
next year. Preferred dividends are
expected to begin in January. Net
earnings, after preferred dividends
and taxes, are now running at the
rate of close to 81 a share annually
on the common stock. Application
VIII soon be made to list the stock on
the New York Stock exchange.

Considerable interest was shown
about the city today in the sugges-
ton set forth in The Times-Re-
corder yesterday, that a packing and
cold storage plant be built here, be-
cause of the opportunity that con-
fr6nted the community and also be-
cause of the need here for it.
L, A. Morgan, who for number
CT years has been engaged in the
meat and produce business here, and
is one of the hustlers of the Chamber
of Commerce, discussed the proposal
with a reporter today. Said he:
at is plainly evident, upon ht-
tie consideration, that there is no
one proposition which would be
worth as much to the city of Ameri-
Gus and to Sumter county as a pack
ing house and cold storage plant COM
bined.
"Look at Moultrie's growth. 1t
has been phenomenal, as the records
and figures will show. And very
largely because of the packing plant
there. It has been the greatest thing
for the farmers of Colquitt county
that could possibly have come to
them, because it opened up an av-
enue that the farmers needed and
needed badly. In the past we have
relied upon ~otton, but the boil weevil
has almost put us out of the cotton
business. We've got to turn else
where and unless we are able to turn
elsewhere proftably the farmers are
going to be ruined. A small killing
plant with a large cold storage equip
ment would fill the bill completely
and save our farmers absolutely.
Benefit To Wholesalers.
"And it would not only be great
thing for the farmers, but for the
wholesale grocers here as well. 1t
would mean a great deal to them in
the storage of butter, eggs, cheese,
fruits, vegetables and other perisha-
bles. One who does not know just
what cold storage plant means to
modern business may get some idea
when | say that the fact that SO many
small towns do not have these facili-
ties has forced the packers themselves
to 90 into the business of handling
these things l have just mentioned,
because of their facilities for cold
storage. In addition they have been
forced to handle many other kinds of
goods, such as canned raisins, etc,
which will not keep well through the
summers unless kept in refrigera-
ton

RIVER SOLVES
DISAPPEARANCE
OF DOOLY NEGRO
Black That Masked Men
Seized On Road Is
Found Dead

The strange disappearance of
Ernest Glenwood, Dociy county ne
gro living in the vicinity of Lilly,
week ago last Monday, when several
masked men seized him from spring
wagon in which he was riding with
another negro, was solved by the
finding of his dead body in the Flint
river Tuesday. The body b)re tie

aroundthe right wrist.
The story of the disappearance of
the negro and the finding of the
body, together with the details
brought out at the inquest held at
the river yesterday by Coroner Ed
jenkins, We're brought back to Am
ericus last night by Sheriff Harvey
and Wade Cheek, special deputy,
who were called to the scene yester-
day shortly before noon.
It developed that the disappear
ance of Glenwood had been known
among the negroes of Dooly county
side of the river, and inquiry had
been made quietly among them as to
his whereabouts by Mr.. McGue, a
farmer living near Lilly, FOR whom
he worked. The fact that he had
been taken charge of mysteriously
by white men was generally known
in the vicinity, but as there had been
several incidents of the same kind
vicinity, in one of which a negro was
said to have been whipped by white
men, it was thought he was either
in hiding or had fled the country.
But the body was identified at the
coroner's inquest yesterday by ne
groes who had known him as Glen
wood.
The story of the negro's disappear
ance was told by John Graham,

and the river
