out openly and seek IL remedy for
the epidemic which is raging in
Oconrc as in practically every other
county Of South Carolina. There is
absolutely, in our opinion. no ques-
tion as to the public schools being
The "incubators'' in which the "nu"
germs are propagated and from
which they are distributed. We can
not, OF course. go into details and
noint out specific cases to sustain
this theory without becoming too
personal. And it is not necessary
FOR us to point out cases that lead
to this theory. They are numerous
practically univcrsal--in the his
tory OF the epidemic locally.
But can we afford to close tho
schools for the whole session? We
have heard that question asked in
considering the school situation as
related to the disease in question.
We certainly can close these schools
~-and gain by the operation. The
teachers should be paid. certainly.
u is their due that they should be
paid for all time lost by enforced
idlencSS. 4 provision could be
readily made whereby, in case or Sc
curing other employment. the teach
nrs salary would cease from the
public funds: or if the teacher takes
up work that pays only a part Of
the salary earned while in the school
room, the public funds could be pro-
tectcd to the extent of making good
to the teacher the difference between
sala~y received from other occupa-
tions and that pledged to him or
her as teacher.
AS we said in the outset, we are
not going to point to any specific
case where the spread Of influenza
through whole families is un-
mistakenly traccahlc to the school
room. Any one can trace the trOu-
tie. and in at least 90 per cent of
them the investigator will be led
to the school house 1t Is certainly
the case in Walhalla, and from what
VIC can learn CT conditions in the
country. the situation differs but
slightly, If at all.
The schools are disorEanizcd: they
arc not doing efficient work: it
simply cannot be done. The classes
are disorganiZcd and dcmoralizcd
in many instances pupils Of the
higher grades being "drafted" to
take charge Of the smaller children
and teach them during the illness
Ot the regular teacher.
Back in October and November
when the epidemic got its start, the
schools were closed and public gaih
cringS discouraged. The effect was
all that could be desired. The cpi
dcmic began to lessen, there were
but few cases, and It was thought
that ihr tr0uhlc had been mastered
Then schools were re-Opcncn. Hthcr
ingS Of all kinds became general anC
it was not long before the 'nu" be

ment:

Mr. Ford stands vindicated. The

He stands not only vindicated but his
attitude as an American citizen has
been justified after trial which raised
every issue against him that ingenu-
ity and research could present. His
friends are entirely satisfied"
Judge fuckers charge to the jury
was lengthy and contained many
points Of interest on the law of libel
and on the length to which a news
paper may go in commenting on public
or private characters. The Chicago
Tribune editorial the court declared as
it appeared in the paper and standing
by itself was libelous and the publ
cation or circulation of any such libel
presumes malice.
"The Tribune found" said the court,
claims that they carefully inquired
as to what Mr.. Ford's attitude was 60
| ing to be as to the care of his men
who joined the national guard and that
| they decided the editorial character
izing him as an anarchist on that in
| formation. They admit the publication
and insist that it was true and there
| fore justified and that even if not true
| it was fair comment upon a matter
of public interest either of which de-
fenses are sufficient if proven
'The burden, however, is upon the
| defense. When they attempt to make
| either of the defenses mentioned they
| must establish either the truth of the
| charge they made or that it was fair
comment within the meaning of that
| term.
"When you consider the term AN
anarchist consider what you honestly
| believe the average reader would get
| from the article. You cannot tell what
some individual might get to a GER
tainty. of course. The best the jury
can do is determine from their expert
ence in life and the testimony in the
case what the average reader would
get from it."
The court further instructed the
jury that the testimony offered to
prove that the Tribune was actually
in it's clamor for war with Mexico
moved by Interior motives on account
of interest which relatives of the own.
ers held in Standard Oil and Interna-
tional Harvester and that the Tribune
was playing Germany's game was not
conclusive and that neither charge

13 Dollars
13 Cents

When Swift 81 Company
paid, say.-13 dollars per hum
dredweight for live beef cattle
last year, the profit was only
Is cents! In other words, if we
had paid $13.13, we would have
made no profit.
Or, if we had received a
quarter Of cent per pound less
fo- dressed beef we would have
made no profit.
It is doubtful whether any
other business is run on so close
q margin of profit
This is bringing the producer
and the consumer pretty close
together which should be the
object Of any industry turning
raw material into a useful form.
This remarkable showing Is due to
enormous volume. perfected facilities
(packing plants strategically located,
branch houses, refrigerator cars, etc.,,
and an !army of men and women
chosen and trained to do their special
work.
This, and many other points of
interest, are found In the Swift &
Company Year Book for 1919, just
published which Is brought out for the
public a. well as for the $4,000 Swift
& Company shareholders.
The Year Book also represents the
packers side of the Federal Trade
Commission investigation, upon which
Congress is asked to base action
against the industry.
