HOT SHOT AT HITCHCOCK.
"Postoffice Department Greatest Poll
teal Machine" Says Cull0p.

Washington, April 28.-"The post
Office department is the greatest poll"
tical machine ever constructed in this
or any other country and it is openly
administered as a political organ1za-
tion."~
This was the charge made on the
floor of the house of representatives
today by Mr.. Cullop, Of Indiana, who
referred to Postmaster General Hitch
cock as being the presiding genius of
this organization.
Too much time devoted by the head
of the department to political affairs
and too little to business, were declar-
ed by Mr.. Cullop to be responsible for
the annual deficit in the operation of
the department. He said the people
should know whether any Of the 272,-
900 postmasters or employees had
been discharged or reduced in rank
for failure to perform POLITICAL du-
ties or contribute to campaign funds,
and whether employees are regularly
assessed for campaign purposes and
are punished if they do not comply.
He declared that the appcintiVe
power lodged with the president is
greater than that enjoyed by any for
eign monarch.
"The power vested in the president
is almost unlimited" he said.
s'No man is wise enough or good
enough to be trusted with such pow
er. 1t is the experience Of the world
that men clothed with such power be-
come impatient Of restraint
Mr.. Cullop advocated the direct
election of many of the federal en-
ployees, such as United States mar
shals and postmasters.

LEAVES STATE HEALTH SERVICE.
Resignation Of DR.. Williams Accept
ed-Will Become Specialist.

Columbia, April 2S.-Dr. G. Fred
Williams, secretary of the State board
of health and State health officer, will
leave the service. DR.. Robert Wilson,
Jr., chairman of the State board of
health, of Charleston, has notified DR..
Williams that his resignation has
been accepted by the board, and the
announcement to this effect was made
this afternoon. DR.. Williams sent in
his resignation to the board of health,
which accepted it only after the effort
to make arrangements by which DR..
Williams's salary might be increased
failed.
DR.. Williams's successor will be
named by the board at a meeting to
be held here some time between May
10 and Is.
DR.. C. Fred Williams has been Sec
retary of the State board of health
for four years, and in 1908, when the
Office of State health officer was Great
cd, DR.. Williams was given that posi-
ton also. When he took charge of
The work the State board had no Of
fee, no stenographer and no labora-
tory. Today the State board has fine
1y equipped Offices in the new Science
hall of the University of South Caro-
elina. Two stenographers are employ
ed.
In connection with DR.. Williamss
work is the pasteur institute, con-
Quoted by DR.. F. A. Coward, former
Charlestonian. The State pasteur in
stitute has done fine work. The board
maintains a laboratory, and is con-
Rected with the laboratory Of Com
missioner Watson's department in
ahe pure food work. Also in connec-
ton with the State board is the rural
sanitarium work, conducted by DR..
Labruce Ward, who has a corps Of
men in the field in this State. This
work is aided by the Rockefeller hook
worm fund.
DR.. Williams has issued a monthly
bulletin on matters affecting the
health of the people, in order to edu-
cate the masses in the preventive
measures that may be taken in such
diseases as tuberculosis and the large
number of diseases occasioned by IN
sanitary conditions.
By simply giving a bare outline of
DR.. Williams work it is unnecessary
to add that he had been valuable
man for South Carolina. His resig-
nation was made to the executive
committee Of the board six weeks ago,
and it was not accepted. In Cnaries-
ton the resignation was accepted con-
ditioned upon the failure to secure a
means of adding to DR.. Williams's
salary. This afternoon the announce
ment was made that the additional
money could not be had, and the
resignation was accepted.
Dr.. Williams will engage in the
special work of chest diseases. He
will make a trip to London soon to
make some special studies in this
field of medicine.

The Big Wind In ireland.

The night of the big wind In Ireland
was Jan. and 7, 1880 1t seems to
have served for some seventy years as
the era point of no little chronology.
The gale was by no means confined to
Ireland. A score of persons died In
Liverpool in the crash of buildings.
and the force of the wind was felt
through Cheshire, Warwick and Stat
ford. In Limerick, Galway and Ath-
lone more than 200 houses were blown
down and as many more were burned
In 1898 Dublin was swept by gale
quite as great and half the trees In
the Phoenix park were put down.

RULE OF THE ROAD.
Decided Abroad by the Sword and
Here by tho Gun.

Several travellers were seated in the

In customs of the various countries
they had visited What struck me
as most peculiar abroad" said one,
sis the custom of keeping to the left
instead of the right, as we do here.
Why Is the rule reversedT'
II think | can explain that" said
reserved looking man In the corner.
"In medieval and later periods abroad
men were in the custom of wearing
swords. The sword was worn, as 1t Is
now, on the left side. Consequently
in drawing their weapon 1t was done
with the right hand, and to get quick
" upon guard man had to have his
right side to his opponent; hence the
custom OF keeping TO the left.
''In America when every man carried
his life in his hand on account Of saw
age Indians all men carried guns The
easiest and most natural way to carry
n gun, either afoot or mounted. Is over
the left arm with the muZZle pointed
outward. and Il takes but very slight
movement TO throw the butt against
the right shoulder For that reason
the early settlers kept to the right OF
the road so their weapon could In
stantly be brought to bear on any
mark that was necessary" -Philadel-

HE WON THE HOUSE.
Ned Harriean's Plea at Critical Point
In a Play.

In Play.
Edward HarrIgan once said that the
most trying moment In his theatrical
career occurred In New Orleans soon
after the civil war. lie had gone south
with his company and, yielding some
what to popular request, put on '"The
Blue and the Gray" The play had
been success up north, but down
south, with the air still full of the bit
terness Of the war, it was dangerous
experiment. Tony Hart was to repre-
sent the Confederate gray, so he hunt
ed up uniform of the Louisiana tt
gers, and when he came marching on,
young, stalwart, handsome, the typical
soldier boy in the beloved uniform, the
house, men and women, cheered and
shouted and cried for all their heroes
embodied in this boy. Harrigan, stand
ing In the wings in his northern blue,
waiting to go on, had just one thought
They'll kill mew Then he stepped
out, the embodiment Of the enemy, and
a cold, dead silence fell upon the
house. Not a hand moved for him.
The audience was tense with emotion,
and there was only an instant to act
If the play was to be saved. Harrigan,
big, kindly, good looking came swiftly
down to the front and stepped over
the footlight gutter, leaning down to
them. "For the love Of heaven, won't
you give the Yankee handT' he ex-
claimed At once the house was caught
and all the pentup feeling turned the
right way. There was a yell Of ap-
plause.

Trees and Wind.

The effect of wind upon trees is
powerful. Even the presence or alb
sence of forests may be determined
by the character of the prevailing
wind or the conditions that modify II.
The wind acts us drying agent. Civ

When II is almost always from the
same quarter the plants show greater
development upon one side, Trees are
smaller on the windward edges of for
ests, and trunks aud branches are
bent TO leeward The determinations
are most marked near the sea or in
dat regions. The cherry, plum, wal
nut. black poplar, ash and certain
pines are very sensitive TO the wind,
but mountain pines and certain frs
offer great powers of resistance. and
these are recommended for reforesting

ship is to be seen among the vaqueros,
ganaderos and garrochistas, by which
various names the mounted herdsmen
of the Andalusian plains are known
in brief, what we should call a cow
boy. Every farm seems to maintain
large number of these, for each herd,
flock or drove has its own herdsman,
goatherd or swineherd, as the case
may be- The vaqueros are fine look
ing lot of men. Tall, thin, light and
loosely made, they look ideal horse
men, as, in point Of fact, they are,
though their mounts are poor.
The vaquero rides very high on n
huge saddle, with a long stirrup and
straight leg, using a single rein and
a very heavy curb, but he has such
beautiful hands that, although using
this barbarous bit, he never cuts his
horses mouth about. 1t is different
with the animals sides, however, for
he uses his spurs without mercy, and
the white horses-of which there are a
large number-all have ominous red
stains behind the glrths.
All the herdsmen who look after
cattle carry long lance, called gar
rocha, of thick and heavy wood, which,
except when standing still, they al
ways carry 'in rest" and not "at the
carry" presumably on account OF Its
great length and possibly Its weight.
With this weapon, in the use of which
he acquires amazing dexterity, the
garrochista is able to control the most

BIRTH OF A WING.
Evolution of the Aquatic Pupa Into the
Drauon FIy

Evolution of the Aquatic Pups Into the
Dragon Fly.
Says a writer In the Scientific Amer
lean: "a wonderful spectacle is pre-
scented by the sudden apparition Of
an insects wing at the completion OF
its metamorphosis. The transforma-
ton of the grub into the butterfly,
though familiar, is none the less amaz-
Ing, but the evolution of the active and
gossamer winged dragon fly from its
ugly and sluggish aquatic pupa Is still
more impressive Early on May morn
ing the pupa energies from its cocoon
at the bottom of ditch, swims on Its
back by padding with It's long haired
paws to the stem Of an aquatic plant
and climbs up out of the water. Then,
after momentary pause, the skin
suddenly bursts open and the perfect
insect appears with closely folded
wings, which soon unfold and assume
their final form.
'"The older naturalists thought that
the insect swallowed air. with which
the wings were inflated. In reality
the air Is absorbed In the digestive
organs, causing an increased blood
pressure, which mechanically expands
the wings. The presence of dew Is
MISC necessary; hence the first flight Is
always made ut dawn.
"Thls spectacle of the birth of n
wing may be observed in dragon flies
reared in an aquarium, the atmos-
phere of which should be moistened
with an atomizer when the pupa rises
to the surface"
