DESTROYED OVER $l,OOO
; WORTH OF WHISKIES
Savannah, Oct. 20.—Acting under
orders of Judge John Rourke, in the
city court, Sheriff Jules Sipple and his
deputies yesterday destroyed more
than a thousand dollars worth of whis
kies and wines, the bulk of the confis
cated suff going into the sewer.
The ceremony began with the pour
ing of twenty quarts into buckets
and then into the sewer. The pouring
into buckets occurred in the court
room before a large and somewhat
sad audience. The whiskey was the
property oif Alex Mcßae, colored, who
nled guilty to violating the prohibi
tion laws by bringing the stuff from
Jacksonville to Savannah. He was
fined seventy-five dollars with the al
ternative of serving three months on
the gang. Tom Hutchinson, part own
er of the liquor, was fined fifty dollars
or three months.
Judge. Rourke also-erdered destroy
ed four trunks of liquor seized by the
police when shipped to Savannah from
Jacksonville with no consignee’s
name on the package. The stuff was
destroyved in the afternoon by being
consigned to the sewer in the police
yard.
The court algo ordered Cord Krack
en, owner of about six hundred dol
lars worth of seized liquor, who was
on Monday given the heaviest fine yet
imposed in prohibition violation cases
in Georgia, and Peter Mastopoules,
owner of five hundred dollars worth,
who was on Monday night found not
guilty, to appear on Friday and show
cause, if any, why their liquor should
not be poured into the sewer.
Charles Baker, captain of the liquor
launch Warren, which came audacious
iy up the river and landed at the dock
behind the city hall laden with liquor
to the rails, was found guilty on the
sixth ecount of having more liquar
than the law allows. The jury recom
mended extreme mercy in the case of
Baker, who will be sentenced on Fri
day.
RACIAL EPISCOPATE
5 PROPOSED IN REPORT
Would Create Negro Dioceses and
Take Negro Parishes from the
White Bishops.
St. Louis, Gct. 20.—A proposal for
establishment of a racial episcopate,
creation of negro dioceses, and remov
il of negro parishes from supervision
of white hishops, was contained in the
majority report of the joint commis
sion on racial episcopate submitted
to the triennial convention of the Pro
testant lEpiscopal church here today.
A minority report. also submitted, urg
ed retention of the section of the
church cqpstitution permitting elec
ticn of negro suffragan bishops.
Neither report if ratified by this
year’'s convention can become effec
tive unless it is ratified also in 1919
because constitutional changes must
be approved by iwo successive con
ventions.
The reports indicated a wide dif
ference of opinion on the subject that
has been before church leaders for
several years. It was submitted first
by the southwestern province of the
dioceses of Texas, Oklahoma, New
Mexico, Kansas, Missouri and Arkan
sas. ;

THE CORDELE DISPATCH, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1916.
IDECISION OF ARMOUR AND SWIFT
TO INCREASE CAPITAL §100,000,-
000 SHOWS MAGNITUDE OF THE
CHICAGO PREMIER INDUSTRY.
BY CLEARANCE L. SPEED
The proposal of Armour & Co., made
public today, to declare a stock divi
dend of 400 per cent, thus increasing
the capital to $100,000,000, following
so closeiy the declaration by Swilt &
Clo. of a $25,000,000 cash dividend, to
he followed by the issuance of new
stock to the same amount to seil at
par, thus increasing this company’s
capital to the $100,000,600 mark, calls
aitention to the fact that probably no
where in the world is concentrated so
much business as is done in the square
|mi]e of territory known as the Union
stockyards of Chicago.
The combined capital stock and
bonded indebtedness of the compainies
operating there approaches that of the
world’'s preimnier corporaticn, United
States Steel. The surplus of the com
hined’cecmuanies is of an amount com
paring with that of the Steel corpora
tion, and the volume of business done
each year exceeds that of the Steel
corporation even when its plants are
running at capacity to fill the demand
for shell abroad and industrial needs
at home.
Net Profits Smaller.
The net profits do not approach
those of the great steel company for
the reason that in no other line of
business is the margin of profit so
small as in the work of feeding the
world. Still the profits are of large
proportion—ample te pay good divi
dends regularly on ali the stock out
standing, and the packing business is
not subject to the same ups and downs
as is that of making steel. Of course
there are good years and bad, but the
nacking business never drops into the
depths into which a year of depression
nlunges the steel inudstry, for the reéa
son that the great majority of Ameri
can people are able to eat, and eat
meat, even in the hardest of times.
The total aggregate business of the
packing companies will aggregate
close to $1,500,000,000 a year. Accord
ing to reports, the business of Swift
& Co.. alone for 1910 crossed the $600,-
000.000 mark. Armour is said to be
doing close to a half billion dollars a |
vear in gross business. The other ‘
cencerns’ annual turnover is well up
in the hundreds of millions.
Of ccurse. net all the business is
done from the stockyards. The pack
ers have branches all over the coun
try, and at least two of them are now
reaning large profits from their plants
in South America. But the business
renter here, is directed from here and
the major part of the profits are dis
tributed here.
Is a Personal Business.
The packing business, more than al
most any other, has been a personal
business. It was developed by a few
men of great initiative and broad vis
ion. It remains in the hands of the
same families that buiit it up. Armour
& Co.. at least, is a close corporation.
The Swift Stock has become more
widely distributed than any other, be
ing listed on the New York, Boston
and Chicago stock exchanges. But its
control is still centered right here in
the city among the sons of the found
ars of the business.
The packing industry in soite of the
bract that it has heen greatly maligned '
at times by the general public, is one
| which has proved its utility and effi-.
ciency most; has had least to do with
stock-jobbing operations, and hag serv
od the public at a reasonable profit—
so small, in fact, that many a farmer
finds it cheaper to ship his hogs to
Chicago and buy his winter’s supply
of meat here and have it shipped back
than to kill his own hegs on the farm
The packers make their profits on the
by nroducts that the farmer has llaril
to throw away. !
CHATHAM MAY FURNISH
CHILDREN BCOKS FREE
§avannah, Oct. 20.—1 f recommenda
tions made by the grand jury commit
tee today are carried to a logical con
clugion, Chatham county will be one
of the first counties in_ the state to
furnish free school books to children.
The commitiee quoted the Youmans
hill at length in its findings, and rec
smmended very strongly the adoption
of the plan by which boocks are sup
plied through the means of per capita
tax on sehool patrons for text books.
The report stresses the fact that after
the initial stock has beey bought suf
ficiently large, the upkeep necessary
to supply 13,000 pupils would not av
erage more than 65 per cent per pu
pil per year.
This estimate is based upon the ex
nerience of other cities. The many ad
vantage ocruing from such a plan as
that suggested are cutlined at length.
It is held the business of the book
dealers would not bhe affected, as the
authorities ~would buy the books
through local houses. It {is shown
there has been a radical increase in
pupils in all schools as compared with
last year.

mittee met at the council chamber

lowing resclution:

EJNGL!ISH COAL OUTPUT
SERICUSLY CUT BY WAR
London, Oct. 19—The Coal Mining
Cridnizafich” ¢ommitted reports that
the estimated output of the mines in
the United Kingdom for the past
voar ending July, 1816, amounted to
14142000 tons against 250,000,000 in
1015 and 281,135,000 in 1914. Some 282,-
03 miners have joined the colors
since the outbreak of the war and
116.006 renlaced, leaving a net reduc
tion of 165,300.
There has been much difficulty in
maintaining the supply of imported
nitwood props and of efforts to provide
a substitute of British grown timber.
The war office has agreed to allocate
one thousand Cerman prisoners ‘in
eangs of one hundred each to the fell
ing and cutting of timber, and already
985 are at work in approved camps.
The export of cozl has been reduced
io the dangerously low figure of forty
