Prltohard Made Federal Judge.

Washington, April 27.-President
Roosevelt to-day nominated Justice
Peter Q. Fritchard OF the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia as
United States Circuit Judge of the
Fourth Circuit, in succession of the
late Judge Charles II. Simonton.
The Fourth Circuit includes the
States of Maryland, North and
South Carolina, Virginia and w est
Virginia. Justice Pritchard was
formerly United States Senator from
North Carolina and has served on the
Supreme Court bench of the District
of Columbia. Since Judge Pritch-
ards retirement from the United
States Senate he has been one of the
Judges of the District Court. He
has made splendid reputation and
enjoys the confidence and esteem of
the Washington bar as well as all
lawyers who have practiced in his
court. Probably the most important
cases that have come before Judge
Pritchard during his incumbency OF
the Office he now holds were the
post Office cases in which August
Machen and others were connected
and sentenced TO terms in the Fede.
raj prison. During the trial of these
cases Judge Pritchard was roundly
applauded for the splendid ability
shown.

Weighing the Mail.

The mails will continue to be
weighed until the 10th of May,
which makes the period several
weeks longer than first expected.
The railroads are dissatisfied with
the showing up of the weights. They
claim they are much lighter than the
average handled and want the weigh
ing continued that they might etrike
better average. 1t is said that
according to the weights 80 far this
time that the railroads will not get
as much money from the gov ernment
for hauling the mails as they have
heretofore been getting. The fall
ing off in weights, however, is not
caused by any shortage in mail, but
is due to the fact that smaller mail
pouches are being used. The pouches
used several years ago are about
twice as heavy as those being used
now.

Habits OF Boil WeeviI.

J. HI. Parker g. Co., of New York,
have recently published an interest
ing letter on the early habits of the
boil weevil. Their dissertation is in
part as follows:
For some time past we have been
trying to ascertain the feeding habits
of the weevil between the end of the
hibernating season and the appear
ance of first squares and forms. In
Gniry throughout the infested dis,
tricts brought no enlightenment, and
we have to thank G. L. Harlatt, act
ing entomologist in the department
of agriculture at Washington, for the
following clear and lucid statement
OF the early habits. of this destruc-
tive pest:
To give an account of the period
you mention in brief--The weevil
does not come from Information very
early in the spring, accommodating
itself in this particular to the habits
of the plant. Prior to the develop
ment of forms and squares, the
weevil feeds on the tender growing
parts of the first shoots of cotton in
the region where there is more OF
less volunteer cotton, and outside oi
the volunteer region, it feeds on the
first leaves and tender shoots of the
planted cotton.
1t was this idea which led to the
idea of trap cotton and poisoning az
remedy, both of which are dis.
cussed in the publications already
sent you. The breed does not
begin until the squares are
formed. The beetle has no place To
deposit its eggs, nor can larvae. de-
volop in the growing shoots or on
the leaves. There is, therefore, as
noted, comparatively long feeding
period prior to the development OF
the first spring or early summer
brood.

First Canal Payment.

The shades of Captain Kidd and
his trusty crew of buccaneers would
be green with envy could they know
OF the treasure ship which sailed for
Europe last week. The North Ger
man Lloyd steamer, Kaiser William
der Crosse, leaves with $6,60O,OOO
worth of yellow gold locked below
her decks. The treasure is believed
to be the first payment of forty mil
lion to France for the Panama canal.
More gold would have been sent on
the same vessel, but the amount for
warded is up to the limit permitted
by insurance companies for one ship
ment. The cost of insuring the gold
is between five and six cents net on
a hundred dollars. The gold shipped
in bars was packed in kegs and the
total weight of the metal was fifteen
tons. If made into double eagles it
would consist of three hundred and
thirty thousand coins.

A VOICE FROM OLD pIckEns.
Our Correspondent, Gives an Opinion Con.
cernIns Local 0pilen.

Old Pickens, April 80.--Editors
Courier: have oeen requested by
several of your subscribers to "write
and publish my views on the dispen.
sary law" and what / think of the
proposition to abolish, by election,
the dispensaries in Oconee county.
In my opinion the law, as it now
stands, makes the legal sale of whis-
key in South Carolina purely a mat
ter of local option, each county be-
ing empowered or granted the privi-
l. sc to settle the question by ballot
mot oftener than once in four years."
Oconee county having had in ope-
ration for several years two dispen-
saries, her people have had ample
time to- judge of their good or evil
effects, and now If one-fourth of her
qualified voters desire the voice of
her voting population on the question
of their removal, let them file their
petition with the County Supervisor
as required by the statute.
1t is reasonable to suppose that all
prohibitionists would vote against
the dispensary, and / believe the
trembling hand of many a victim to
the Incorporate use of whiskey, who
in his weakness cannot resist the
temptation when presented, would
gladly and honestly insoribe upon his
ballot "no dispensary."
1 believe every father of a bright
son, whose poor soul is not yet con-
taminated by the envenomed LIQUID,
fit beverage of hell, would vote "no
dispensary" with a fervent payer
upon his lips for the success OF the
glorious cause of temperance.
| know every noble son, whose
heart has been saddened by the
sight of a loved father reeling under
the influence of the accursed evil, ,
would do everything in his power to
abolish the Internal traffic, and
every manly soul would endeavor to
shield or reclaim weaker brother
by removing temptation as far be-
yond his reach as possible.
l know that if the Christian
mothers, pure daughters and loving
wives aud sweet sisters of those who
do vote, were allowed ballot the
against the dispensary
would be overwhelming and if an
election is ever ordered their gentle
influence in the conflict will be a
power by reason of their tenderness
and devoted interest in those they
love.
No matter what may be said in
favor of the dispensary as an i'm
provement on the old system of
barrooms which has been abolished
by the constitution, no matter what
may be said of it as a source of reve.
nue. to the State and as being auxili-
ary to our school fund, it is still an
immutable truth that the sale of al
coholic spirits anywhere, in any form,
under any name, is great evil, an
unmitigated curse to humanity, fa-
tai temptation to the weak and O
fearful menace to the youth of our
land, whether sold by a blind tiger,
from the depths of an old we'll, a
sympathetic druggist by prescription
of doctor who knows enough about
Latin to write "spiritus frumenti,"
an elegant bartender in a gilded IL
censed saloon, or a sovereign State
with a palmetto tree or an idiotic

viii Swamp Clemson.

Columbia, April 25.-Attorney General
Gunter to-day rendered an important
opinion in regard to Clemson College
scholarships. A recent act OF the Legis-
lature provided for 124 free scholarships
this year and as this number at one
time would greatly congest the COLLEGE,
President Nell wished an interpretatlc !
of the act and whether the scholarships
could not be divided into c!:::s:sss.
THE opinion in the main," says Mr..
Gunter, is that after considering the act,
1 am of the opinion that the whole mum.
ber of one hundred and twenty-four must
be appointed this year. Under the &C;
that number of scholarships is created
to be available when the act becomes Of.
fective from and after July 1st next.
There is nothing in tho act permitting a
reduction OF the number OF scholarships,
