WHAT SUMTER TOURISTS
FOUND AT CHIPLEY, FLA.

er than now and, according to Mr..
Afford. would probably require
TS13O,00O to replace 1t today. To
this amount of money required
should be added a quarter of a mil
lion dollars of capital on which to
operate, he said.
This plant, however, is double the
capacity of that now under consid-
Grafton for erection here. The Chip
ley plant was planned by c. l..
Brooks, of Macon, who few weeks
ago spoke at two meetings here of
men interested in securing a packing
Brooks recommendation were not
carried out by the Chipley promoters.
This fact, however, it was said, did
not result badly.
But we soon found" said Mr.. AL
ford, that we had built too small.
For one thing, we didn't have cold
storage capacity enough. And so
we. are now adding some $4,000 in
building additions and $4,000 in
new machinery and equipment to
give US the capacity needed.
You have asked me whether / do
not think a small plant would pay
better than a larger one. | do not
think it should pay better for the
reason that there is a certain amount
of fixed overhead expense that would
be the same for a small plant as for
one as large as ours or larger. For
instance, your manager and superin-
tendent would have to be first class
men even for a small plant, and they
could just as well handle a larger
plant. Therefore. in cost of man
agement, it would cost just as much
to kill so hogs as 200. On the 9th
er hand, we have not been able to
operate at capacity during the whole
of the last two years. When the
plant is shut down because of in
ability to secure stock to kill, the eX-
pense of management and the pay of
the skilled workers go on just the
same, and dissipate the profits that
pile up in the winter months.
Might Be Different Here.
IF conditions were such as you say
yours are at Americas where you
would expect to depend upon local
hogs for year-around operation,
things might be different. But so
far we have not been able to depend
upon local hogs; if we did depend
upon them the season with us would
be short one. However, much prog
ress is being made in educating the
farmer to market his stock at all
times of the year, not only for the
good it will do the packing house,

said, just before the interviewers
left:
Your question took me rather I'M
awares, and perhaps | answered it a
little more bluntly than | really
meant. What | had in mind was that
l doubted, had we known in advance
some of the difficulties we would
have, that we would have had nerve
enough to have gone through with
IT from an investment standpoint.
Not that 1t has not been a good
thing for the community, for there
is no doubt that. in spite of the fact
that 1t has not yet paid any actual
dividends to the men who put up the
money. 1t has paid the community
well and we have no regrets that we
built it."
1t may now be explained some of
the ways IN which the packing plant
has benefited Chipley and the men
who built it. The Dekle Land Com
pany, with which the men at the head
OF it are connected, owns thousands
of acres OF land in Washington,
jackson, Holmes and Bay counties,
Florida, all of it within so miles of
Chipley. Since the coming of the
packing plant land values have great
ly increased and farmers are coming
IN and settling on these large unoc-
cupled cut-Over tracts. Some esti-
mates were that the value of this
land had doubled in two years. It's
average selling price in a radius of
so miles of Chipley is now said to
be $25 to $50 per acre. At least
some of the men behind the packing
company are connected with the
banking business in Chipley and
since the plant was opened two years
ago the bank deposits in ChipleY's
two banks have increased from $4O0,-
600 to 100000, about double. "And
the packing plant takes the credit
for the greater share of this in
crease said Mr.. Glen.
Prior to the opening of the pack
ing house Chipley warehouses an
nually received about $500 bales Of
cotton. From the 1919 crop only 700
bales were received, so it will be
seen that the boil weevil did not hit
this community hard last year In
stead of cotton, the farmers are now
raising hogs and peanuts-and doub
ling their bank deposits as a result.
The Chipley plant has a killing
capacity of $50 hogs and rs cattle
daily normal operations, with a max
imum capacity of 200 hogs and 35
cattle. The plant was built at q time
when labor and material were cheap

NOTES OF THE TRIP.

The tourists, in three cars, left
Americas at 1885 a. m. and reached
Chipley at 4:05 p. M, distance of
154 miles by the speedometer. Nearly
two hours were lost on the way by
Henry Johnson's car experiencing
two blowouts and two punctures, all
on the same wheel, but in three diff
ferent tires. Even a new casing and
tube bought at Blakely failed to re-
sist the hoodoo. The party took din
ner at Dothan, Ala, where Mrs. L.
A. Morgan remained with relatives,
while Otis Morgan, cousin of l.. A.
Morgan, took her place on the Chip
ley excursion. Mrs. Morgan rejoined
the party returning home at Dothan.

others passed away the time en- route

 System A Failure
Low Standard of Qualification Together with Meager Sal
 aries Assigned as Cause.

Conway, Nov. 22-The public schools of the state are bankrupt ard relief measures must imme- diately be put into effect if edu- cation is to be continued, Presi- dent B. w. Torreyson, of the State Normal School told direc- tors of Faulkner county, meeting at the courthouse Saturday after noon. MT. Torreyson first called attention to the decline of the state from thirty-fifth place edu- cationally to forty-sixth among the states of the Union, declar- ing Arkansas educational system has broken down.
 The greatest and highest duty of men and women is to give proper training to the children that they have brought into the world" MT. Torreyson said, and the provision of sufficient funds to accomplish this end should be the first ann of every one.
 'On account of inadequate rev. enue for school purposes, Arkan- sas is being rapidly drained of it's best teachers, and the low sal- aries compared with those to be gained in other professions, have prevented the best talent from , ever considering teaching as a life work
 MT. Torreyson explained the provisions of the proposed amend. ment to the state constitution. removing the limit on the rate of taxation for school purposes and allowing each district to vote it's own rate. Copies of petitions in behalf of the amendment were given to the directors under prom- ise to circulate them in their com- munities. Teacher training and proper support of the State Nor- mai was also stressed by Mir. Torreyson.
 School directors of the county organized with the selection of J. c. Clark of Conway as chair- man and I. N. McCollum of Con. way. as secretary,
 Speakers at the meeting. in ad- dition to Mir. Torreyson, were Mir. Parsons; County Agent T. M. Williams; Representative E. T. Herring, land Superintendent R. E. Womack of the Conway schools.
