White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1920-08-22

A s JAMES MADISON made a great
IA name for himself before entering
the presidency and added nothing to 1t
while In the White House. 1t must be
that he was q good deal of a man but
not much Of a president.
Like all the more famous Virgin
ians, Madison was not of the highest
well-to-do farmer In an outlying coun-
ty. His early life was passed at Mont
pelier, the farm which his grandfather
had wrested from the Indians: from
II he drew his, only private income
and at last he was buried In its soil.
He was dependent on his father until
he was fifty, when the latter died and
the place became his own, with 100
slaves. who continued always to adj
dress him simply rs 'Master Jimmy"
Standing only five feet six inches
and one-Quarter inches, he was, with
Grant the smallest of Il presidents.
Naturally thin and frail his zeal for
study nearly wrecked his health while
a student at Princeton college, where
for months at a time he slept only
three hours out of the "a. United
for military duty when the Revolution
came, he went to the Virginia legisla.
ture instead. Yet this seemingly
broken-down young man was destined
to be the longest lived of all the presi.
dents, with the single exception Of
John Adams.
When q candidate for reelection to
the legislature, Madison revolted
White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1920-08-22

against the old Virginia custom of
setting up the drinks. His morality
was mistaken for stinginess and the
thirsty voters fiocked to the capa.
cious barrel Of his opponent, who was
elected. The defeated candidate had
to wait a dozen years for his first
chance to distinguish himself. Still
no time was lost. for. while he was
waiting, he diligently prepared to meet
opportunity when II should com and
made a close study of all governments,
ancient and modern.
IL Madison had not been crossed and
blessed in love. posterity might mo-
catch him on his human side at all
and only yawn over this pr0sy, serious.
s.udious. cool-tempered unaggressive,
weakened, little great man. He was
already a mature bachelor of thirty
two and a member OF the Continental
congress. when a slxteen-year-old girl
In his Philadelphia boarding house
was the first to touch a soft spot In
his heart. A young clergyman who
hung and sighed over her harpischord
cut him out, and he was painfully
awakened from his first dream Of love
by a letter Of dismissal which, for rea-
sons unknown to this later generation.
the young miss sealed with a pinch
of rye dough.
Madison was past forty. and well
into his Indian summer, when he be-
came involved In still another board
ing house romance at Philadelphia.
Only. instead Of n lady boarder. he
fell In love this time with a land
lady's daughter, Dolly Payne Todd,
who was only twenty-six. had lost her
husband and was living with her moth
er. who received Into her house a
few gentlemen ~boarders." Among them
was Senator Aaron Burr Of New York.
Madison himself was staying at an
other house. where ne and two
other future presidents. Jefferson and
Monroe. were living three in a room.
There the fame Of the pretty young
Quakeress travelled to him, and he
asked Burnley were at Princeton
together-to take him to see her. The
match famed up In the fash Of an
eye. and Dolly and her boy were
borne away to Montpelier. where she
proved her tactfulness and kindness

UT for the smiles Of his bloom
- ing Dolly. Madlson's adminlstra-
ton would be n desert without an
oasis. over whose dreary expanse the
weary biographer would wander
athirst for human anecdotes. Her
bubbling spirits relieved the austerity
of J~effersonian simplicity and won
her a popularity that has been equaled,
II at all. among the mistresses of the
White House. only by Mrs. Cleveland.
Unless Grant must be excepted,
Madison is the only president who
found the presidency an antlcllmax
to his career. One OF the really great
iaw-givers of the nation, he was
without executive force.
With a weak cabinet, this gentle,
sweet tempered. peace loving scholar
found himself adrift on the turbid
sen Of the great Napoleonic vars.
Perhaps II was no longer possible to
keep us out Of the war when at last the
United States was the only neutral
left In the civilized world. But GER
tainly IL was no time for a f~air-weath-
er sailor.
After 20 years of kicking and cuff
ing from both sides In the European
conflict. bullied by England and lied
to by Napoleon, the country was sore
all over when the "warhawks" OF con-
gress. under the youthful Henry Clay,
seized the tiller OF the ship Of state
White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1920-08-22

from Madison's irresolute hand and
recklessly pointed the vessel straight
into the teeth OF the storm. The sea-
board East was more for peace and at
that time the military section was the
new West. where the Tennesseans and
K~entucklans. Indianians and Ohloans
we're Justify shouting "On to Canada !"
Overcome by their rash counsels. Mad
ison consented. as he said. TO throw
forward the flag Of the country. sure
that the people would press onward
and defend IT,"
without competent civilian military
leaders. without financial credit, with
out war equipment, the people could
not press onward, as any history OF
the dismal war of 1912 will tell you.
Even the capital was left undefend-
ed, and Madison, 'in a little round
hat with a big cockade," ran about In
helpless bewilderment as the British
marched upon Washington.
With the invaders entering at M
side Of the defenseless town, the
president fed at the other. As he
turned he saw the flames shooting up
behind him. he fed faster and farther.
While the British commander was
blowing out candles ON his dinner ta-
BILE that he might feast In the light
Of the burning White House, Its fugi-
tive master was hiding In n forest but
% miles away.
After an absence OF three days. a
heavy-hearted. shattered, h~ouseless
president returned to view the
charred walls Of his official residence
and Of the capitol. At every turn he
was greeted by ugly mutterings Of the
general disposition TO make him the
scapegoat for all the national short
comings In a war that had been thrust
upon him. But with victory at New
Orleans and the return Of peace, the
voice Of the Pathfinder was drowned
In the hum Of sudden prosperity. And
in the closing days OF his admins
tration Madison was cheered by many
assurances that his countrymen were
not forgetful Of the 40 years that he
had served them In pure devotion.
Like John Adams. he emerged from
his retirement to sit in the constItu-
tional convention Of his state,
where the aged statesman closed his
active public life, as he had opened
II, with q sentiment Of humanity for
the slaves. ~

but for the better prices he will b.
able to obtain for his hogs.
You may judge from the follow
ing figures something of the develop
ment of the hog raising industry that
has taken place here IN the last few
years. largely because of this plant.
Four years ago the first car of hogs
in the history of the town was ship
ped to market from Chipley. Three
years ago 8 to 10 cars were shipped.
Two years ago we started our
packing plant on January 5. Up to
May of that year we had handled
10000 hogs, nearly all of them local.
Last year we got between $4,000
and $4,000 hogs from within radius
of so miles, and nearly all of them
from within 80 miles.
THE quality of the hogs is being
raised rapidly; the farmers are rails
ing good hogs now. For about 6
months in the year, as we have been
operating, We pay out $4,000 to
$4,000 a month to the farmers in
our territory, and in the summer
from $4,000 to $4,000 a month,
We are educating the farmers very
successfully to extend their hogs
marketing season. and as result To-
cal hogs were received much later
last spring than the previous spring
Should Pay Handsomely.
las | said before, if you can get
hogs the year around so as to keep
your plant running. and secure eX-
perienced help, you can make good
money operating a packing plant
With bad judgment, due to inexperi-
ence and carelessness, we got by
without losing money, although it
cost us dividends. However, it is our
opinion that if the plant never paid
5 per cent on the investment, it
would still be a good thing and pay
ing proposition for the community"
1t developed during the visit of the
Sumter delegation, however, that,
although the Chipley plant has not
paid any cash dividends, a consid-
cradle portion of the approximately
S43, 900 going into the additions in
building and equipment were being
paid for out of the earning of the
plant, this in itself constituting a di-
vidend on which the builders will be
able to collect should they ever sell
the plant, which is believed not to be
a remote possibility, since the big
packers have acquired the habit of
buying up packing plants through
out the South. That it would not
be disadvantageous to the communi-
ity to have the plant owned and OPP
Grated by one of the big packers Is
the belief of Mr.. Afford expressed
to the visitors.
Mr. Afford was asked where the
idea of building a packing house in
Chipley originated
"a few years ago the Page
brothers came here and started lit
