Virtually Decided Upon by Attorney
General. TO Eliminate Number OF
Prominent Lawyers.
Washington, May 26.-With the ar
rival here today Of j. S. Hart and J.
S. Steele Bryce, of York, advocating
the appointment of Col. w. w. Lewis
for Judge Of the Western district of
South Carolina, came information Of
a reliable character which will un-
doubtedly have tendency to clarity
dates in the state within the next
few days. This information is that al
though there is no law on the sub
jcct the department of Justice will hes
itatc and seriously consider matters
before recommending the name of a
candidate more than 60 years Of age.
o-Lras -upNGfy
This has been custom of the de-
partmcnt for many years and although
last week ii was stated that this
might not be brought to bear in the
presen instance, later information is
that the lines are to be closely drawn
and that no man over this age will be
considered.
This vii eliminate several of the
candidates, among them several who
are among the best known lawyers
in the upper part Of South Carolina.
| This will clarity the situation and
bring the question Of rccommcnda-
tion down to not more than two or
| three available men, unless others not
now candidates should determine to
enter the race. II is very difficult to
get positive statements from the at
toney general. But it is said that the
Department Of Justice is opposed to
appointing mem over sixty years of
age, not because they may not be able
and capable but because at the age Of
seventy they would go on the retired
list with half pay and the working time
is too brief in comparison with this
estimated Longevity.
While this ruling will work hard
ship on some Of the candidates it is
one that cannot be helped and as
soon as it is officially announced that
this line is drawn the present list of
candidates will be very materially re-
ducod.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
OPENED MONDAY
Over 900 Pupil, Enrolled the First
Week 100 More Expected Within
Next Week Old Methodist Church
to be Used for Class Rooms.
ANOTHER TEACHER FOR ROSE
MARY SCHOOL

The Public Schools opened
Monday morning with the lar
gest attendance in the history OF
the towns. The attendance at the
Central School has overtaxed the
capacity of the building, and ar
rangements are being made for
placing the two divisions of the
third grade, under the super
vision of Misses Kirby and
Wooten, in the old Methodist
Church building on jackson
Street. At the Rosemary building
there are so manychildren in the
first grade that the Board has
authorized Superintendent COL
trane to secure another teach
er, for that grade.
The High School is unusually
large. Against a total enroll
ment in that department last
year of only 81 there is an en-
rollment now of about 80 pupils.
The total enrolment in all de-
partments, exclusive of the
colored school, is now about 800.
1t is expected that this enroll
ment will be increased to 1000
next week.
There seems to be some con-
fusion among some of the par
ents in regard to the school laws.
All children under the age of
fourteen are required to attend
the full session instead of six
months.
