Capt, ], LePrince, of the malarial d.

clared, has led the South during the

Demonstrating the surprising power
for reducing human productivity which

plantation were but SO per, cent Of

cases IN which productivity OF, labor on
farms was 10 per cent reduced by ma
laria. Capt. LePrince also observed IN
| Mitchell county, Georgia, last year that
malaria at a certain period had reduced
the productivity Of the t%urpentine IN
dustry BY fully so per cent. Cultivation

to be abandoned because of malarial
ravages.

MEMPHIS EDITOR GOING TO JAIL
 FOR ALLEGED CONTEMPT OF COURT
Candidate for Judge Took Ex- ceptiOn to Editorial on
 Corruption.
{N. K. A. Special to The Graphic)

{N. K. A. Special to The Graphic)
 Memphis, Tenn, July 31.-E. I Leech, editor of the Memphis Press is going to jail Monday, August 4 for ten days.
 A judge has found him guilty o1 contempt of court"
 This tollowes what lawyers call one of the most unique free speech fights in recent years.
 Leech wrote an editorial year ago in which no judge was named and no specific case mentioned.
 The editorial was general attack on political and judicial corruption. It was written during a political cam paign. V.
 The judge who took exceptions to it was candidate for reelection. Decision Made, But Case Technically
 Pending
 The chief evidence Tn the trial was that the editorial-which was one of a series printed during the campaign was published the day following a decision in political suit by Chancel- Tor Isreal Pere, and that technically the suit was still pending because the time limit for asking rehearing had not expired, though the actual ruling had been given. Chancellor pere had granted an injunction restraining the state election commission from re- moving county election commission CT previously dismissed on charges of misconduct in office.
 Leech fought the case on the ground that the editorial was general at tack on corrupt political conditions; that it was not in contempt because it referred to no particular person or case; that he wrote bitte arraign- ment of corrupt politics in order to influence an election; and that, even if he had referred to Judge Pere, he would not have been in contempt be- cause the latter was candidate i'll the coming election.
 The case was brought in Peres' court and transferred by him to the court of a fellow chancellor.
 Accusation Based on One Sentence.
 The case was chiefly based on one sentence, which declared: "Even courts have been brought into dispute and judges have abandoned the princi- ples of loyalty and integrity, have made farce of the laws they were to enforce, have dragged their own courts into the mire, have turned traitors to their friends and supper ters, and enemies to the principles they professed, because politititions
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1919-08-01

have laid their hands on them and forced them to do their bidding"
 In support of this charge, Leech, in his brief to the court, cited the fact that since the last general election the judge of the criminal court of Mem phis had been impeached and removed by the state legislature for corrupt practices.
 The case was tried without jury. Leech was found guilty and given the maximum penalty-10 days in jail and fine of $50. Sentence was pronoun- ced by Chancellor F.. H. Heiskell. The court of appeals sustained the case and the supreme court refused peti- tion to hear it. st,s
 Leech Spurns Freedom With Apology
 as Price.
 Following this final decision Leech was offered the opportunities to secure q suspesion of sentence--if he would file in court written apology or re- traction. He refused, on the ground that he could not apologize for some. thing he had not admitted doing. In published statement he also refused to allow friends to solicit a pardon from the governor.
 The decision is of legal importance because it is perhaps the only one in American law holding that a news paper publication, containing no names or references to any case, can be construed, by the aid of innueno to be in contempt of judge standing before the people as candidate for reelection.

From the home of her youth, from
the church to which she belonged
and where she faithfully worked ,and
from the people among whom she
lived the most of her life, and who
loved and honored her to the last, |
have come to pay tribute to the
memory of this kind, gentle, patient
little woman who is dead.
1t is needless that l should enum-
crate to you the traits of her sublime
character by which she won and held
the admiration of all who knew her.
Suffice it to say that she was good
and faithful and true. Let no one
idepreciate the value Of such life as
this. Without such lives the human
race would be poor indeed.
She was never physically strong.
Lovingly, faithfully, and courageous
Iy, she lived and toiled with weak,
frail body, with little or no COM
plant. She is resting now. Why
should we wish her back again? We
shall miss her, yes, in the church and
Sunday School, in the home, where
she grew up, and in the recent home
where she went little moro than a
year ago, charming bride. We shall
miss her bright smile and CHEEKY
disposition Yes, this splendid, stain
less, immaculate little woman has
gone out from us TO her long home,
and the mourners go about the
streets. Many in different walks OF
life bless her name today with tear
full benedictions. But over the river
there is rejoicing while we weep, as
some, who went before her, welcome
the weary pilgrim home.
Thank God, she lived among us.
Thank God for the triumph she has
won! She died as she lived, happy
and hopeful.
While we sorrow here, our friend
is spending her first Sabbath in the
Paradise of God. She will not wake
tomorrow to another long day of
pain, to another weary week of wish
ing she could get well. She is well
now, and resting, where pain and
affliction are not known.
Sweet be the sleep Of her body in
the quiet spot, under the watch of
the angels, until the earth and the
sea shall give up their dead, and
God shall wipe away all tears from
our eyes, and there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow nor crying nor
any more pain.
May the mother, the husband, the
little babe, and all who were near
and dear to this one who has gone,
find comfort and strength in God,
and be led by his hand until there is
an unbroken circle of loved ones in
the beautiful Home of the Soul.
"Oh, how sweet it will be, in that
beautiful land,
So free from all sorrow and pain;
With songs on our lips, ahd with
harps in our hands,
To meet one another again"
