FGL RTH OF JUL Y QUIETF,SI CH1EFTURNER REMEMBERS COUNTY DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE REORGANIZED Hperlsl to The Georgian.

Richardson sec retary. The following were elected ns mem bers of the executive committee: W. I. Halley, J. R. Myers, Oscar Herndon, Frank Sadler, W. R. McConnell, J. T. Phillips, J. G. Richardson, T.

"There were ne- 1 groes everywhere In the county, bar becues galore and ull kinds of picnics, but little trouble." Hut the Fourth among the negroes was not without Incident. Members of the county police repotted a number of occurrences which were not without an clement of humor. A crowded electric car stopped at College Park and an officer on the plat form saw n bjg negro emerge from the calaboose and start on a run for the car. He climbed on board, his holiday toilet rather the worse for a July sun and the close air of the lock-up. He greeted a friend. "Dey done had me locked up nil de mnwnln’," he said. "Hit cost me two dollahs an* er hnaf." "Ain’t dey try you?" Asked his friend. "No, dey Jea’ lock me up an* git mah money," said the victim of Justice. "Well, dat ain’t law," said the coun sellor. The car sped on, and at the next stop a deputy sheriff reached Into the crowd and extracted a negro who was too boisterous even for the Fourth. As he departed to the calaboose the released prisoner watched him with Interest not unmixed with sympathy. "Dere now," he said. "Dere's another pore nigger's two-fifty gone." Out at River park a negro dance was in full blast. In the center of the floor a troubled looking negro was swinging a “bright yaller" girl, who was ob livious of all but the strains of "St. Louis Tickle.” But trouble descended upon the pair. It took the form of a little black woman, with burning eyes nnd a big umbrella. When she reached the pair the umbrella fell first across the head of the man nnd then wrecked the picnic hat of tho yellow girl. The other dancers took their corners. "Here, stop that," said n county po lice officer who made ills way Into tho hall. "He's mah husban* an' he shan’t dance wld dat gal," said the injured wife. It ended by the younger woi swearing out a warrant against, the w recker «»f her headgear. | Out on the Lakevlew road wore a dozen barbecues. Roast pigs and sheep were on every hillside, and the atmos phere was pungent with the fragra of the fenst. Kegs <«f b< *\r were flowing freely into tin cups and some of the crowd had drunk not wisely, but too well. When the time for returning came they were oblivious of the world and Its sorrow. * * One wagon load of feasters started cityward on the run. A fat negro, who sat on the tailboard absorbing the last bottle of beer, was Jolted out when the wagon struck a stone nnd tho fall broke his leg bel >w the lnee. He yelled lustily, but the roisterers were too busy to listen, nnd they left heir comrade lvlng in the road without ever slacking the pare. The next vehicle raised him from the dust an.l t >ok him home. Hut with all the crowds and the picnic beer the Fourth was singularly free from serious disorder. An affair at River park. In which a negro woman was sliced by a razor, was reported late at night, but the county police were forced to make but few arrests. "But I'm glad It’s over," said Chief Turner.

In nt frenzy of determination, and half nn hour later he began to vomit—he vom ited until It seeYned ns If his inwards must be torn to shreds. A man could tfi t UH**fJ to th** fertilizer mill, the boss hnd said, If he would only make up his mind to It; but Jurgls now began to seo that It was a*question of making up his stomach. At the end of that day of horror he could scarcely stand. He had to catch himself now and then, and lean against n building nnd get his hearings. Most of the men, wlion they came out, made straight for a saloon—they seemed to place fertilizer and rattle snake poison In ono class. But Jurgls was too 111 to think of drinking—ho could only make his way to the street and stagger on to a car. He had a sense of humor, and later on, when he became an old hand, he used to think It fun tu board a str***‘t cur and seo what happened. Now, however, he was too ill to notice It—how tho people In tho car began to gasp and sputter: to put their handkerchiefs to their noses, imd transfix him with furious S tances. Jurgls only knew that a man i front of him Immediately got up and gave him a seat; and that half a minute later the two people on each Md. i-f him K-.t up, nnd that In a full minute the crowded car was nearly empty—those passengers who could not get room on the platform having got ten out to walk. ■ Of course Jurgls had mode his home a miniature fertilizer mil! a minute after entering. The stuff was half an inch deep In his skin—his whole sys tem was full of It, and It would* have taken a week not merely of scrubbing, but of vigorous exercise to get it out of him. As It was, he could be com pared with nothing known to men, •are that newest discovery of the sav ants, a substance which emits energy for an unlimited time: without being itself In the least diminished in paw- er. He smelt so that he made all the food at the table taste, and set the whole family to vomiting; for himself it was three days before be could keep anything upon his stomach—he might wash hls hands, and use a knife and fork, but were not hls mouth and throat filled with the poison? And still Jurgls stuck it out! In spite of splitting headaches be would stagger down to the plant and take up hls stand once more, and begin to shovel In the blinding clouds of dust. And so at the end of tho week he was a fertilizer man for life—be was able to eat again/ and though hla head nev er stopped aching. It ceased to be eo bad that he could not work. So there paaaed another summer. It was a summer of prosperity all over the country, and the country at# gen erously of packing house products, and there was plenty of work for all the family. In spite of the packers efforts to keep a superfluity labor. Th«*y were again able to pay their debts and to begin to save a little sura; but there were one or two sacrifices they con sidered too heavy to be for long—It was t<H» bad that the boys should have to sell paper* nt their nge.

If a visiting "country customer" were to ask them they could show him which was "Hlnkydlnk's" famous saloon, and could even point oat to him by narno the different gamblers and thugs and "hold-up men" who mads the place their headquarters. And worse yet, the boys were getting out of the habit of coming home at night. What was the use. they would ask, of wasting time and energy and a possible car fare riding out to the stockyards every night when tho weather was pleasant and they could crawl under a truck or Into an empty doorway and sleep ex actly as well? Bo long os they brought borne n half dollar for each day, what mattered It when they brought It? But Jurgls declared that from this to ceas ing to come at all would not be a very long step, and so It was decided that VUlmas and Nlknlojus should return to school In the fall, and instead Elzbfetn ! should go out nnd get some work, her place at home being taken by her younger daughter. Little Kotrlna was like most children of the poor, prematurely made old: she had to take care pf her little brother, who was a cripple,' and also the baby; i she had to cook the meals and wash the dishes and clean house, and have ; supper ready when the workers came | home In tbe evening. Bh** was only IJ, and small for her ag»», but she did ail this without a murmur; And her mother went out, and after trudging n couple of days about the yards, set tled down as a servant of a "sausage machine." Elzbleta was used to working, but she found this change a hard one, for the reason that she had to stand mo tionless upOO her feet from « o'clock in the morning till 12:30, nrd again from 1 till 6:30. For the first few days It seemed to her that she could not stand It—she suffered almost ns Jurgi* had from the fertilizer, and would come out at sundown with her head fairly reel ing. Besides this, she was working In ono of the dark holes, by electric light, and the dampneaa, too, was deadly- then* were always puddles of water on :ne floor, and a sickening odor of mohrt fie-h In the room Tin* people who v**>ri<- cd here followed the ancient custom of nature, whereby th- | turmlgnn 1- t».* color of dead leaves In the fall nnd of snow In the winter, nnd the chameleon, who Is black when he lies upon a stump and turns green when he moves to a leaf. Tne men and women who worked In this department were pre cisely* the color of the "fresh country sausage" they made. The sausage room was an Interest ing place to visit, for two or three minutes, and provided you did not look at the people; the machines were the most wonderful things in the en tire plant. Presumably sausages were once chopped nnd stuffed by band, and If so It would be Interesting to know how many workers had been displaced by these* Inventl »**•» ' *ti <*n.* sM>* <>f the room n« n* the h*»j | ur*. in’" ti!*• ’i men shovelled loads of meat and wheel- bnrrows full of sph-es; In these great bowls were whirling knives Hint made 2,000 revolutions n minute, and when the meat was ground fine and adjltor- ated with potato flour, nnd well mixed with water. It was forced to the stuff ing machines on the other side of the room. The latter were tended by wo men; there was a sort of spout, like the nozle of a hose, and one of the women would take a long string of ‘ < unrig" and j ut :!.<• < r.u «*\.*r tr • n*.z- zle and then work tbe whole thing on, as one works on the finger of a tight glove. This string Would be twenty or thir ty feet long, bu- tbe woman would have It all on In a Jiffy, and when she hail several on she would presa a lever and a string of sausage meat would be shot out taking tbe casing with It as It came. Thus one might stand anil see appear, miraculously born from the machine, a wriggling snake of sau- sage of Incredible length. In front whs a Mg pan which caught these crea-! lures, and two more women who pel zed I them as fast as they upp«-ared and , twisted them into links. This was for the uninitiated the most perplexing work of all; for all that th«* woman had to rive was a single turn >>t tin* wrist; and In some way she contrived' to give It so that instead of an end less chain of sausages, ono after an- other, there grew under her hands a bunch of strings all dangling from a single center. It was quite llkn the feat of a prestidigitator—for tho wo man worked so fast that the eye could literally not follow her, and Hut** w.»« only a mist of motion, nnd tanglo at ter tangle of sausages appearing. In the midst of the mint, however, tin vis itor would sudden > noth e the tens.' set face, with tho two wrinkles gtaven In the forehead, nnd tha ghastly pallor of the cheeks; and then ha would sud denly recollect that It was time he was going on. Tho woman did not go on; she stayed right there—hour after hour, day nftor day, year after year, twisting snusage-llnks and racing with death. It was piece work, and she was apt to have u family to k«« p ally**; and mi.-in and million «iono»«lc laws hud arranged It that she could only do this by working Just as she did, with ull her soul upon her work, and with nev er nn Instant for a glance at tbe well- dressed ladles And gentlemen who came tou stare at her as at some wild beast In a menagerie. CH APTERYX IV. With odo member trimming beef In a cannery, and anothor working In n sausage factory, tbe family bad a first hand knowledge of the great majority of Parklngtown swindles. For It was the custoui as they found, whenever ni".it -• a p*. :• d that 1» « "III 1 not be used for anything else, either to can It or else to chop It up Into sausage. With what had been told them by Jon as, who had worked In the pickle rooms, they could now study tho whole of tbe spoiled meat industry on the Inside, and read a new and grim mean ing Jnto that old Packlngtown Jest— that they used everything of the pig except the squeal. Jonas had told them how the meat i that was taken out of pickle would often b# found sour, and how they would rub It up with soda to take i away the smell, and sell It to be eaten on free-lunch counters; also of all the miracles of chemistry which they per formed, giving to any sort of meat, | fresh or salted, whole or chopped, any ! color and any flavor and any odor, they chose. In the pickling of hams they had an Ingenious apparatus, by | which they eared time and Increased the capacity of the plant—a machine consisting of a hollow needle attached to a pump; by plunging this needle into the meat and working with hls foot, a men could All a ham with pickle In a few seconds. And yet. In spite of this, there would be hams found spoiled, some of them with an odor bo bad that, a man could hardly bear to be In tbe room with them. To pump into theae the packers had a second and much stronger pickle which de stroyed the odor—a process known to tho workers aa "giving them SO per cent.” Also, after the ham had been smoked, there would be found some that hnd gone to the bad. Formerly these had been sold as "Number Three tirade." but later on SSMI lafOUSQI person had hit upen a new device, and our they would extract the bone, about hlch the bad part generally lay, and Insert In the h le a white-hot Iron. After this Invention there was no b ng*r Number One, Two or Three Grade—th*re was only Number On** Grade. The packers were always originating such schem*-** they had what they called "transit ms hams," which were all tho odds and ends of pork, stuffed Into cnslngN; nnd "Call- funila hams," which were the should ers, with Mg knuckle Joints, and near ly all tho meat cut out; nnd fancy "skinned hams#* which went made of the oldest hogs, whoso skins were so h*'ii\ v and coarse that no ono would buy them—that Is, until they had been cooked and chopped fine nnd labelled "head cheese"! It was only when the whole ham was spoiled that It caino Into tho de partment of Klzhleta. Cut up by the two-thousand-revolullonN-n-inlnutq fly - eiH, ami mixed with half a ton <>f other meat, no odor that ever was In a ham could make any difference. There was never the least attention paid to what was cut up for sausage; there would come all the way back from { Kurope old HHUNHge that had been re jected. nnd that was mouldy and white —It would be dosed with borax and glyrerlno, and dumped Into the hop pers and made over again for home consumption. There would be meat that huil tumbled out on thu floor, In the dirt and MAWduat, where the work ers had tramped and *plt uncounted billions ut consumption germ**. Then* would be meet stored In great piles In rooms; and the water from leaky roofs would drip ovor It, end thousand* of rats would race about on It. U was too dark In these storage places to well, but a man could run hls hand over these piles of meat and sweep off handfuls. Bats were nulrenres. nnd the pack ers would put poisoned bread out for them; they would die, and then rats, bread and meat would go into the hop pers togetner. This Is no fairy story and no joke; the meat would be shov eled into carts, anil the man' who did the shoveling would not trouble to lift out a rat, even when he saw one— tn* :• wen* tiniikh that went Into the r. iiiHitgt* Iri (Mfnpat lf*n with which H Ii ilai ned rat was a tidbit. There wns no place for tho men to wash their hands before they nte their dinner, and so they made a practice of washing them In the water that was to bo ladled Into the sausage. There wero butt-ends of smoked meat and the scraps of corned beef, and all tho odds and ends of the waste of the plants that would be dumped Into old barrels In the cellar and left there, tinder the system of rigid econ omy which tho r« r kers enforced there were some Jobs that It only paid to do once In a long time, and among these was the cleaning out of the waste bar rels. Every* spring they did It, and In the barrels would be dirt and rust nr** 1 old nails and stalo water—and c.irt loud after cart load *.f It would be taken up and dumped Into tho hop pers with fresh meat, and sent out to the public's breakfast. Home of It they would make Into "smoked" sausage— but <ih the Hiioklug took 11 me, and was therefore expensive, they would call upon their chemistry dcpnitment. and preserve It with borax and coior It with gelatine to niako It brown. All of th«*lr sausage caino out of the same bowl, but when they came to wrap It they would stamp some of it "special," and for this they would charge two cents more a pound. Much were the new surroundings In which Flzhleta was placed, and su<h w;i- the work she was compelled to do. It was stupefying, brutalizing work; It left her no time to think, no strength for anything. She waa part of the machine she tended, and every faculty that was not needed for the machine was doomed to l»a crushed out of ex istence There was only mercy about the cruel grind—that It gave h* r the gif* of Insensibility.
