 we are doing it very succOsa -. we are well content and satisfied and take very cautiously to any radical legis- lation such as this. The large packers produce and control less than 50 per cent of all the meats killed in this country. but those sections into which they have come have prospered and grown. For instance, in the southern part of Alabama, when the boll-weevil began to spread, land was selling for s15 an acre. We decided to establish a packing house at Andalusia, but we were not experienced enough to run it with much success so we induced MT. Swift to come down and look over the country. As a result of his trip Swift and company took over the plant, and land in Houston county within a radius of fifty miles of that plant has in- creased in value s10. s15 and s2o an acre over it's previous value
 Near where I reside in Montgomery, Alabama. we have in the last two years established a stock yard and we are doing everything in our power to persuade one of the so-called big five packers to come there and establish a packing plant If they do the price of our cattle will go up. These large packers are versed in the business and have always been fair and just as to prices and we are almost begging them to make extensions in the vicin- ity.
 "Of course. I am not in favor of monopoly. Some people seem to think the big packers are monopoly. But the fact is they are not killing hall the meat consumed in the United states and therefore they certainly cannot be a monopoly. If that is true and they benefit the sections in which they operate, why not invite them in, let them stay. and let them alone?
 Let me say also that down south they have not had the prosperous times that you wheat producers in the central west have had. We are poor yet; we are worth only about $S70 per capita, while in Iowa and Illinois you

''Mr. Orr of Marshall county, has ln- troduced a bill in the legislature to compel the working of all able bodied convicts in Alabama on the public roads.
 The proper title of this bill would be "A bill to be entitled An act to Brutalize the Convicts of Alabama. to Bankrupt the state, to Menace the Pro perty, to Endanger the Lives of all Peaceful.

BETTER SERVICE CAMPAIGN
COMMITTEE FOR EXPRESS

That the campaign FOR better pack
ing and marking OF express ship
meuts has achieved concrete results,
was indicated by the reports made at
the better service meeting OF local
express employees last night. General
agent J. G. North announced that not
only were packages being received in
better condition for shipment. but
that there was a noticeable falling off
in the number OF consignments sent
to the NO Mark bureaus Of the eL-
press company.
Before the drive. at least $500
packages Of all conceivable kinds and
sizes. he said, were received by these
dead letter" offices OF the business
but already this figure had been cut
in half. and there was every reason
TO expect that it would be brought
down TO negligible quantity.
The purpose Of the campaign. It
was stated, viii always be a dominant
policy of the company in accepting
business in the future Proper pack
ing and correct marking. general
agent North declared. viii always be
required. when shipments are &C
cepted by the express service for
transportation. This, he added. would
be 10 the interest Of the shippers
themselves. as web as to that OF the
express company. Fl Paso shippers
have by their cooperation, made this
campaign a decided success as far as
FL PasO is concerned.
Last nights meeting was held at
Odd Fellows hall and was attended
by all local employees. After the busi-
ness Of the meeting had been disposed
Of lunch was served and the re-
mainder Of the evening was devoted
