lere today, when at the close of the
Melon, and at the end of his term
sires Gordon, the Senator from Mls
sslppl. said good-bye to the Senators
ith whom he had served for the last
xty days.
Expressing regret at the passing of
enator Gordon. Senator Depew said:
Xo matter how wonderful a co!
eague succeeds him he cannot be
ames Gordon, of Mississippi."
Pratlcally the entire senate listened
/Ith rapt attention to the address of
he venerabl ? Mlssisstplun. He stood
ark of his own desk on the extreme
Ight of the Vice President and In
lomely phrase and almost without
? :eoture talked to his colleagues as If
hey had b'en ohl-Mme friends. Twice

Vice President. His remarks were
requently puactuated with applause
ind laught* r The galleries were well
llled and the occupants of them Joln
?d freely In the manifestation of ap?
proval.
Beginning with the statement that
the deadlock In Mississippi had been
broken and that Mr. Percy had been
chosen to take his place, Co:. Gordon
said that he had felt a desire to ex?
press his feelings towards the senate
before returning to his home In Mis?
sissippi
He then told how when 5 years old,
he had been presented with a toy
board which was checked over with
different objects, som* of them good
and some of them t d One of theso
objects was the Capitol of the United
States and his mother had told him,
s said, that if ho would be good and
ould live a correct lifo he might
?me day hope to sit In the seat of
te big man who was pictured there.
* **Bhe never had told me u He and I
new that ? nat .he said was true. I
new that I woutd some day occupy
He seat of that big man, and God
elplng me I got there yesterday;"
eferrlng to the fact that for a time
esterday he had occupied the scat
f the presiding officer.
"I w&s born a muUl-mllllonalre."

Referring to he fact that he had

GRANU JURY INDICTS MILLION?
AIRE PACKERS.
The Armours, Swifts, Morrlssos and
Others of i.oss Prominence Are In
eluded?Not oiu- will He spared.
Se v fork, Feb. 25.?The beef trust
of 11 i ? 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. Hammond & Co. In?
dividuals: J. Ogden Armour, O, Wat

Lemuel C. Patterson.
Ira X. MoiTld kent a lawyer to Jer?
sey City this week from Chicago to
inform Prosecutor Garven that he
had retired from the directorate of

was indicted.
Frederick B. Cooper, James E.
Bathgate, George J. Edwards, D. E.
Hartwell, H. B. Darlington and A. A.
Fuller are said to be officers and Eas?
tern agents of the National Packing
Company. Capiases for the arrest <~f
all the defendants will be issued im?
mediately and the grand jury will re?
sume its Investigations on Wednesday
next. Cooper Is the Xew Jersey man?
ager for Swift & Co.
The indictment, which br'stles in
its arraignment of the men named,

responsible, These, however, are not
Sp< eitiod.
The fo 'going list of names, it will

of the great packing Industry of this
country, containing, as it does, two
Armours, three Swifts and two Mor

the grand jury was started, cold
storage plants were inspected, wit?

Indictment was handed up in the Su

STATE HEALTH CONFERENCE.
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.

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.
