MILITARY TRAINING
FOR THE UNIVERSITY
Trustees Approve Plan for Securing
Government Course
and Instructor.
(Daily Record.)
The trustees of the University of
South Carolina in a meeting held
Wednesday morning went on record
as favoring military training for the
institution. If the enrollment of
100 students, necessary for the class,
be obtained, and its not thought that
there will be the slightest difficulty
in easily obtaining this many, or
\ #
more, the course will be given next
> ear.
A committee was appointed to
take the necessary steps toward car
rying out the policy adopted by the
recent legislature of teaching agriculture
in the university. The comiv:ittee
consists of Dr. W. S. Currell,
president of the university, J. E.
Swearingen, State superintendent of
education and David It. Coker, oi
Hartsvillc, trustee.
A building committee was appointed
to handle the appropriation of the
legislature of $40,000 for the building
of a law school, in connection
with the university, and $14,000 for
repair work on the dormitories.
Prof. Reed Smith, of the university,
owing to his many other duties,
was relieved as head of the extension
work of the college. The trus
tees expressed their warm approval

by Prof Smith and especially mentioned
the zeal, enthusiasm and efficiency
he had shown in the depart
ment. His successor has been appointed,
but as he has not accepted,
his name was not made public.

CAUSE OF JUMPS
Boston?The recent jump in food
prices here will be the subject o.'
special investigation by the federal
grand jury, United States Attornej
George W. Anderson announced to '
night. The inpuiry, which will be '
gin next Tuesday, he stated, will be
directed to determine "how far if at
all these marked increases are due
to acts obnoxious to the federal antitrust
laws. The federal government
proposes to use its full power bo prevent
extortion."
In a formal statement the distrie'
attorney said:
"It should not be overlooked thai
many of these recent high prices are
not improbably due to local interstate
combinations. "With these, State,
ccunty and city authorities and not
the federal government must deal.
"Incidentally it may be worth
while to call attention to the fact that
undei' no existing law, State or national,
can some of the main causes
for high prices be dealt with. Some
of these chief causes are the following:
Some Big Reasons.
"The inflation of money due to increased
gold supply. The per capita
circulation of money in January, 1917
was $43, which is almost exactly
double what it was 20 years ago.
Commodity prices also have doubled
in the same 20 years, in other words
the increase of money alone accounts
for the money cost of living
being double what it was 20 year?
ago.
"The great European war is the
most destructive force ever known in
fho hi^fnrv rtf tnanlrinrl
"All of the main food crops for
1916 except rice were somewhat below
the average.
"Inadequacy, inefficiency and lack
rf coordination of our transportation
systems greatly aggravate conditions
-otherwise exceedingly serious. Probably
the accumulation of freight at
the ocean terminals and gateways
during the last few days has made a
bad transportation situation much
worse.
"Lest my statement of these general
causes be misunderstood, I
ihould add that they do not account
for the panic runaway prices of the
last few days. Those are undoubtedly
due partly to the newspaper clamor,
partly to panic and partly to
schemes of exttortion which ought to
be punishable by some law, federal or
State."
Governmental control of the country's
food supply was recommended
today by Gov. McCall in a statement
which he fsftued after tw0 delegations
of women had called at the State
bouse in an attempt to see him regarding
food conditions.
