A Proper Verdict.
, commenting on

In comm enting on the verdict In
the merger case, the Columbia Re
cord says "the general assembly OF
South Carolina authorized the South
ern railway to take over certain lines
Of Independent railroad in this State.
Later, the constitutionality Of this
act being called into question, the
general assembly instructed the at
torney general to bring an action to
test the merger" act. The attorney
general, after several years, succeed
ed In getting the case before a jury.
presenting the facts and the Law
bearing on the case. The jury has
decided that the merger was legal
and proper. That the supreme court.
to which the attorney general will ae
8 matter Of course take an appeal.
will sustain the rulings Of Judge
Shipp. and the findings OF the jury
there Is little reason to doubt.
"'The verdict Of the jury is in ac-
cordance with the .common-sense
view of the case. AS to the techtnal
points involved we are not, perhaps,
in position to pass Judgment, but the
rulings of the court were favorable
to the defendant, which Is evidence
that the law as we'll as facts and jus
tice were against the contention OF
the State. .
's1t is not to be disputed that the
hest interests Of the State Of South
Carolina, especially the communities
affected directly, and the develop
ment OF the lines Of railroad in ques-
ton, will best be served by the con-
troll of these lines by the Southern
railway. Great Improvements in SER
vice and equipment have necessarily
been made by the Southern dur.-ig
its tentative control, and since the
Dispute Is now settled in favor Of the
railroad 1t is inevitable that for Its
own selfish business ends the South
ern shall devote it's efforts to an up
building of those particular branches
of it's system. The Southern now
owes this to its own commercial self
respect, owes it to the State of South
Carolina and 20 the communities in
terested. Having contended that its
ownership Of these lines will rebound
to the advantage Of all concerned,
and that contention having been sus-
talned In q court Of justice, the case
is, to use colliqulalism, squarely
up to the Southern.
"It man be confidently predicted
that this policy will be pursued un-
der the enlightened management of
President Finley, who has shown
himself keen!y concerned for the
welfare Of this State and this section
no less than for the great railway
system Of which he is the head.

Services of Visiting Nurse
Offered for Sale of Christ
mas Seals This Year
COULD Be USED IN This CITY

Among the numerous competitions
arranged by the Wisconsin Anti.tuber-
culosis association to stimulate the sale
OF Christmas seals and to materially
assist the battle against consumption
in all localities, the one limited to cit
les OF 5000 to $4,000 population, and
bringing as reward the services of
an expert visiting nurse, is arousing
exceptional interest.
The twelve cities in this class MAX
ing the highest per capita sale will par
ticipate in the reward. An expert
nurse has been engaged for one year,
and she will spend one month in each
of the twelve winning cities. The city
making the highest per capita sale of
the twelve winners will receive the
benefit of the nurse s visit in proceed
ence over the others, and the remain
ing cities will be visited in the order
of their sale.
A number of cities engaged in this
competition have already enjoyed the
privilege of visiting nurses services,
but the great majority have yet to re-
ceive the advantages of such service.
The visiting nurse is just what the
name indicates, a nurse who visits the
sick and the poor in their homes and
inquiries into their problems with a
view to helping them and providing
relief 1t is a fact that many cities
are misdirecting their relief work be-
cause no attempt has been made to
study conditions and apply such re-
lief to best advantage. Relief money
has thus been virtually wasted, in
many cases. In solving the local tu-
berculosis problem, the visiting nurse
is a most important factor.

who wish to secure a certificate to ap-
ply the tuberculin test to cattle in Tins
state at 2 p. NJ, December q, at the
College of Agriculture of the Univer-

The new Wisconsin law requires that
all cattle sold for breeding and dairy
purposes must be tuberculin tested,
thereby proved to be free from tuber-
culosis before the transfer is made.
Many inquiries have been received
by the State Sanitary board and the
College of Agriculture concerning the
provision Of the law and the time and
character Of this examination All
who desire to apply the tuberculin test
must have the certificate from the
State Live Stock Sanitary board.

Postoffice Ready to Take Care
of Christmas Business and
Assure Safe Delivery
SHOULD MAIL PACKAGES SOON

With the expectation that there will
be great rush in the shipments Of
mail and express packages before the
Christmas holidays, officials of express
companies and of the postofice depart
ment are prepared for the herculean
tasks which confront them but they de-
sire that the people who are to send
Christmas gifts to friends and relatives
should send them early in order that
the gifts may be delivered before
Christmas. If shipments are held back
until few days previous to Christmas,
then there is every probability that
there will be delays in deliveries.
The real though unromantic Santa
Claus. that human packhorse, the mail
man, has already started on his deliver
les of Christmas gifts but he realizes
that during the next sixteen days he
will be burdened down with mail every
time he leaves the postofice. The fol-
lowing notice has been posted by the
postofice officials offering suggestions
to those intending sending Christmas
gifts by mail:
Mail your packages early. Allow
twice the usual time for delivery.
Wrap them securely. Use heavy paper
for the outer covering and tie them
with strong Irvine. Address them
"right" put your own address in the
upper left-hand corner.
You can send four pounds Of mer-
chsndise to any postoffice in the United
State and Canada for cent an ounce.
Books-two ounces for l cent. You
can send packages of merchandise
weighing eleven pounds to thirty-nine
foreign countries for IL cents pound.
Pay letter postage-2 cents an ounce
ON small United States parcels. You
can seal all such parcels.
For advanced delivery of Christmas
packages and letters use special stamps.
This year Christmas falls on Sunday.
Buy your money orders early. You
can buy money orders up to 800 pay
able at practically any postofice in the
world.
You can register letters or packages
to the same offices and secure writ
ten receipt from the addressee If you
ask for it.

RACINE BAKER WEBS HERE.
Romance Begun in Waterloo, Iowa,
eliminates in Kenosha Thursday

A romance begun in Waterloo, Iowa,
several years ago eliminated in Ken
osha on Thursday afternoon when Hans
G. Hansen one Of the best known bak.
ers of Racine was married to Miss
Katharine Christensen of Waterloo,
Iowa. The ceremony was performed by
Judge Russell II Slosson in the county
court in the presence of few close
friends of the contracting parties. Mrs.
Hansen came to Kenosha from Water
loo on Thursday afternoon and met her
husband in Kenosha and the arrange
ments for the marriage were completed
at once. Following the marriage cere-
mony Mr.. and Mrs. Hansen went to
Racine where a reception was given in
their honor on Thursday evening. They
will make their home in Racine.
