United States, embracing six great packing companies and 21 packer--, several of them multl-mil llonnlree, s?)cially and industrially prominent? were indicted by a grand jury In Hudson county, X. J., today Charged with conspiracy in limiting the supply of meat and poultry. The warrant is drawn under the law of Xew Jersey, which provides, up ?n conv iction, a maximum penalty of three years in the penitentiary or a $1,000 fine, or both. The offense is extraditable, which means that prac? tically the meat barons of the coun? try must either successfully escape extradition or come to Jersey City for trial. Pierre Garven, the public prosecu? tor of Hudson county, announced to? night that he would forthwith notify the defendants of the Indictment and would be ready to force extradition in ? very case where the individual con? cerned is not willing to face trial vol? untarily. None, he says, will be spared, The defendants as named are as follOWl: Corporations: The National Pack? ing Company. Armour & Co., Swift & Ho., Mon is & Co., Hammond Packing Company, C. H.

First Meeting in Columbia Was Largely Attended ami a Great Suc? cess. Columbia, Feb. 25.?Men and wo? men of character and influence rep? resenting many parts of the State and many of the leading industries, activi? ties and other interest of South Caro? lina's citizens made up the first con? ference called In any State for the conservation of public health. The meeting which closed tonight truly made history for not alone South Car? olina, but for the States of the South and the States of the North as well. Those presnt were impressed deep? ly by the high type of the presenta? tion of health problems offered by the various speakers and they were much influenced by the broad vision, hope? ful, yet statesmanlike, with which the ?peaken and the officers of the con? ference faced the intricate fabric of community life whih is touched at so many points by the group of filth dis? eases which are a shame to modern Civilization and without justification In a 20th century community. The vitally significant feature of the conference was the presentation of what was known as a "tentative outline of a programme or policy for public health education and adminis? tration in South Carolina." This was offered by a committee including President S. C. Mitchell, of the Uni? versity of South Carolina, Dr. J. W. Babeock of the State Hospital for the Insane, and Mr. W. E. Gon/.ales, edi? tor of The State. These men outlined a programme for all the people with a view to adequate and effective or? ganization of health machinery for the State and for insuring the coope? ration of all the people which would make tkat machinery effective. It was a very unusual document, with? out precedent in the health history of the country. AVANT GIVES BOND. Georgetown Man Now Out of State Penitentiary.

APPROVE OF PAVI THERE is \o OPPOSE the pRoposrno On Every Hand Hiera Ai sions of Approval of the l to Pave Main Street, it Necessity and the Soone gun the Bettor. It is most gratifying t( expressions of aprpovai of osition to pave Main stre< every one says that it shou and the ones who are mo.->L ... La.: of it are the ones who are our largest taxpayers. Most of those who have expressed themselves look uopn the paving as a necessity and not a lux? ury. The needs of the city demand that we have a better Main street. Some who have expressed them? selves wonder why the matter was not taken up sooner. Sumter is class? ed with the most progressive cities in the State, and the fact that other towns of less importance than Sumter have paved their streets is looked up? on by them as an evidence that Sum? ter is not keeping up. It is true that Sumter is progressive, and deserves the reputation she has. It is certain however,that if she maintains that reputation she must keep on ham? mering away on public Improvements. The objection to paving has been ad? vanced that Sumter is now putting in a gas plant and paving Main street would be out of the question, for it would have to be taken up to make room for the gas pipes. This need bother no one. It will be some time before the work on paving can begin. There is lots to be done before actual work can be commenced. This is mere? ly the suggestion that we pave. No Steps have been taken yet to get tne street paved. Things of this kind go slowly, and the gas people will have ample time to get their piping down before the paving will interfere. The discussion of paving has brought about a discussion of the ma :o be used. Some favor bitu nd some vitrified brick. Som? one so far as to say that they ?t vote for a bond issue unless 3 brick Is used. Brick is un dly the best material for pav I will last almost indefinitely, lere will be few repair bflll brick are used. one should let the matter of al bother him. What we ^ant ng with the very best material had. ?n anything is so unanimous as aestion of paving Main street : a wonder that is has not been ong ago? It must be because no one has taken the interest to ag gitate the question. Those in author? ity should take the matter up and get estimates and see what it will cost and find out if the city can be bond? ed further without a special act. It should be found out first if it can be done without a bond issue. If it re? quires a special act, get the matter in shape for the members of the general assembly to handle. If it requires a vote, the preliminaries should be tak? en. The municipal election is approach? ing now, and those who would serve our people should express themselves on the question of paving. We should not let another administration come in and go out without giving the city what is wanted along this line. $250,000 For Public Works. Rock Hill, Feb. 24.?Out of 445 voters registered only 211 voted to? day, in one of the most important elections ever held in this city.
