II? CU? &6S0LARSIIPS. Attorney Sonera! Decides That AH Beneficiary Scholarships Must be Filled This Year. Columbia, April The general assempiy in February last passed an act creating 124 new scholarships at Clem? son college, designed more paticularly to aid stud?nts desiring agricultural educations. Recently President Mell wrote the State superintendent of education-asl ing him to obtain from the attorney general an opinion on the manner in which tho scholarships are to be given President Mell does not desire that all of the students shall enter the in vstitaticn at once as this would greatly -crowd the facilities. Attorney GeneralU. X. Gunter, Jr., yesterday rendered his opinion on the subject. He thinks that all of the 124 cadets must enter Clemson this fall He says: "Your communication, enclosing a letter from Dr. P. H. Mell, president of 'Clemson college, requesting to be advised whether und?r an act approved i February 25th, 1904, providing for beneficiary scholarships in Clemson college has been considered. "The trouble, as I apprehend it, is that the act establishes and creates 124 scholarships, each of the value of ?100 per annum, to continue for four years, thereby creating a congestion the first year and every four years thereafter, which condition it is desir ed to relieve by appointing an install? ment this year and another next year if such action carrb? taken legally. J* After considering the.act I am of opinion that the whole number, 124, must be appointed this year. Under the act that number ol scholarships is created, to be availabe when the act becomes effective, from and aftre July 1st nest. There is nothing in the act permitting a reductoin in the number .of scholarships; if one is available all must be. ''Having reached this conclusion -that all the scholarships are available thjis year, I am requested to advise whether the number can be divided between the freshman and preparatory classes. I find nothing in the act 'limiting admission to any particular class. It is/true the act provides that such scholarship 'shall continue for tfee term of four years, or fo^ such length of time as the beneficiary shall *be able to maintain himself and com? ply with the rules of the college. ' But I do not think that it can be reason? ably contended that the term four years is arbitrary, and that a stduent can attend for exactly four years. .If a student can complete a course in less time than four years he cannot for that reason be denied the benefits of the act. That period is the maximum limit for which a scholar can avail \ himself of the benefit of a scholar? ship. Provision is made for ?n annual examination to fill vacancies to meet this contingency. '' Some provisions of the act, such ss the examination feature, may lead to some confusion, but I am satisfied that the above is the proper view." Knew They'd Fit. -,4A friend of mine down south," said Congressman John Sharp Wil? liams, "indulged in the luxury of a negro valet, or body servant, as we caU them. This friend in a riot of extravagance one day bought a pair of loud-checked trousers. His valet ?nvied them and wanted them. They <3id not seem to be coming his way fast enough and he threw some grease on them. ? Charley*" said my frieud, "take these, trousers and clean them. There's a grease spot on them. ' "Charley took the trousers, didn't ?ie- a thing to them and brought them hack in half a day. * Deed, boss, ' he said, 'I can't get that grease out. ' *' 'Did you scrub them well?* .""Yes, sah.'

The naval authorities at Washing? ton are said to be getting somewhat resentful at the attitude of the Japs with reference to allowing American narai observers the privileges of Ad sniral Togo's fieet. It is said that rbe Americans have aiways been especially considerate of the Japanese, affording them every facility to get all the in? formation they desire about building, anning and sailing American vessels. Notwithstanding all this the Japs are persistent in their refusal to allow Americans the privileges of their fighting ships, and the authorities at Washington are beginning to construe this attitude as one of suspicion and distrust. As the result of it all, it is quita probable that the Japanese may be deprived of some of the privileges they have heretofore enjoyed with re? ference to American naval operations.

The case of greatest inter? est has been that of Karo Williams, alias Caro Williams, who in February killed Thurston O. McGee, a white man, in Lake City. lt will be remembered that at the killing a strong effort was made to lynch Williams and it was only through the recourse to strategy by Sheriff Graham that the negro's life was saved. He was taken to the peni? tentiary in Columbia for safe keeping at that time, having been brought back to this place on Sunday. Judge Purdy yesterday appointed Messrs. LeRoy Lee aand R. J. Kirk, of the local Bar, to undertake the defence of Williams. After looking into the case last night and this morning these gentlemen came into Court today and moved for a contin? uance, basing their motion in part upon the fact that that they had been unable to locate a witness who might prove material, but relying mainly upon the fact that they had been unable to sufficiently prepare them? selves. Both gentlemen stated that from such examination as they had been able to make into the case they were satisfied that th? defendant had a meritorious defence, but that if the case were forced to trial at that term, of Court they could not discharge their duty either by the defendant or by the Court Upon this showing Judge Purdy granted the motion to continue, and on doing so he took occasion to say that he had satisfied himself that the prisoner at the bar could not obtain justice, or anything even remotely re? sembling justice, were he to be tried here and now. The fact that he occupied a position on the bench and was in a sense re? moved from the people, or that mat? ters were not discussed in his pres? ence' as freely as out of it, did not, he said, prevent him from having cognizance of what went on in a com? munity or of the state of feeling exist? ing in it That the. sentiment here had not died down since the attempted lynching was, he,, said, apparent, and with such a sentiment prevailing, he .Ud not propose to lend himself to the carrying out of a judicial farce which .would be the inevitable result of a trial at this time. "The Courts," said he, "guaran? teed to every man equal protection under the law, and be the sentiment of the community what it may, his purpose in any Court over which he might preside is going to be to try and see that substantial justice is done, be the party on trial white or black." Addressing himself particularly to the people of Lake City Judge Purdy said: "I want to say to the people here, very few of whom I know per- j sonally. that they are doing them? selves and their community a great wrong when they allow their feelings to crop out in the presence of the Court and of jurors who must uncon? sciously be influenced by their neigh? bors." He went on to say that with such a condition as this existing, if they did not get speedy trials it is their own fault, adding that if he had come here and found the people calm and dis? passionate, anxious to see justice and only justice done, he would have safely entrusted this man's life in the hands of the most inexperienced lawyer at the Bar, but that as matters stood he had appointed experienced counsel to look after the defendant's interests. For these reasons Judge Purdy said the motion for continuance was grant? ed, and he then proceeded to caution the people against any renewed at? tempt to take the law into their own hands, stating that he knew and that they ought to know what the sheriff's course would be in that event and warned them to beware of the ccnse qeunces of such a proceeding. ----^?-?????-^-?

Ottawa, Ont, April 23.-Canada's aggregate foreign trade for the nine months ended March 31 amounted to $345.307,651 or $14,832,238 more than for the same period of the year pre? vious. This is on the basis of imports for consumption and exports and in? cludes coin and bulion. The imports for the past nine months totalled $175, 523,000, as against $155,440,036 last vearand the exports amounted to $155, 064,155 as against $162,420,763. Careful of the Thermometer. In a certain village not very long ago, a benevolent doctor offered to :? i ve a thermometer to every cottage, carefully explaining its use. Soon after their arrival a district visitor entered one house where tbe new thermometer hung proudly in the middle of the room, dangling at the end of a string. The visitor compli? mented the owner upon it and inquired if she remembered the instructions. "Ay, that I do," was the reply. "I 'angs un there, and I watches 'un, until 'e gets above 60." "Qaite right Mrs. -," said the lady, much pleased that the directions given had taken root; "and what do you do when it gets above 60?" "Why then," was the unlooked for answer, "I takes 'un down from the nail and takes 'un out in the garden and cools 'un down a bit!"-Tit Bits. C. P. Osteen, M. D. No. 18 W.

The last Census Bureau Cotton re? port shows that the boll weevil caused the loss to Texas cotton growers cf nearly fifty million dollars including the loss of the staple and seed destroy? ed. It also showed that the insect is new in 96 of the 17S cotton producing counties of Texas. Truly this is a most appalling condition.. Will this dreadful scourge invade other scetiens? Can anything be done to stay its ravages? The United States lias ap? propriated a quarter of a million dellars to defray the expense of a scientific investigation of the subject. The writer has seen it stated that cow peas planted on the land will prevent the trouble, but whether this has been thoroughly tested or is only an unconfirmed theory is not known. Unless checked, is it not reasonable to suppose the weevil will seek fresh fields for devastation? Entomologists have certainly a fine opportunity to display the practical value of their knowledge at this cricis of cotton growing in the Southern States. That the ravages ot this insect in Texas will produce a bullish market so far as the price of cotton for the coming season in the more eastern States is concerned none can denv. If it de? stroyed 739,360 bales in "1903 is it not natural to suppose, unless checked, it will reduce the crop of the coming season over a million bales? Suppose the coming crop is 12 million bales this would be over one twelfth. It is not likely for this season, at least, that th a pest eau be arrested in its devas? tating work, so that with this calam? ity, together with two short cotton crops following in succession, is it not reasonable to predict a good price for cotton? Still there is no telling with very heavy receipts daily and a strong bearish element at work, what might happen. It may be also that large sections lately devastated by the weevil will be abondencd and the cultivation transferred to safer land. It may be the intensive system now more generally adopted will assert itself, still under all these possible conditions. It is the writer's opinion that the facts, the hard stubborn bullish facts, in the case will hold up the price of cotton. Burglary at Pinewood. Pinewood, April 21.-The store of Mr. R. F. Epperson on Railroad avenue was broken open last night and goods to the amount of about $200 were stolen. Part of the stolen arti? cles were found hidden near the store. There is no clue to the robber. The Oat Crop. The outlook for a splendid crop of oats was never better in Sumter county. The plant lias not been affect? ed at any time by cold, and the insect enemy which attacked it so disas? trously last season has failed to put in an appearance. The crop has had a "ride over" and a visit to the fields will confirm this very optimistic view. The writer saw one field-quite near the city-of 165 acres, from which the owner counts on an average of 40 bushels au acre, and really from its appea.rance the estimate seems reason? able. Top dressing has been applied and i ts green was mos'; decided. Regrets Dog Eater's Death. We are very sorry Mr. Pritchard's sou killed the "dog eater.''

Nothing measures the growth of a city more than those enterprists whicii go towards administering to its wants. The writer was particularly struck in this connection by a recent visit to the dairy farm of Mr. E. A. Bultman. It was a revelation. This farm is on the Mayesville road about two miles from the city. It is an ideal location for the purpose to which it is devoted. A most desirable pastare of forty acres is all neatly and securely wire fenced. This extensive grass plot, with trees interspersed all through, presented a most ecol and refreshing appearance-a mere tempting or desir? able meadow it would be difficult to imagine. Capacious buildings for the warm housing of ttock, divined np into stalls and arranged with every view to comfort and cleanliness, are amply provided. A generous gush of pure water from an artssion well of great depth pours out at a convenient point its cooling and refreshing stream. There are at present on hand fifty cows and all of these, with the exception of a few, are Jerseys. The total daily output of milk is about thirty-five gallons. All of this is readily dis? posed of to customers in the city and Mr. Bultman says there is demand fer more of this healthy and most nourish? ing diet. This milk is handled for distribution in the mest inviting man? ner-a system of sealed glass jars is in use and a very neat, trim spring wagon delivers it. In addition to cattle Mr. Bultman proposes to go into hog raising. He has at present on band only a nucleus, but intends greatly increasiing this branch of his business. On this farm Mr. Bultman has one hundred and twenty-five acres in cultivation. He has forty acres in oats. Hy is also devoting a portion of his place to truck. Has quite an extensive plat in cabbages and was preparing to plant melons. The balance of the farm was in cotton and corn. Mr. Bultman states that he has 75 acres more of pasture which he is contemplating fencing. Attention could not be call? ed to a more inviting field that this visit suggests. Why could not the business be so increased as to lead up to a cheese factory ? It strikes the writer that the size of our city war? rants more enterprises of a like nature being started. The Market Basket. It will be of interest to our readers to read some approximate statement as regards the essential contents cf our market baskets. Of beef, one of the most important in the list it, requires during the fall and winter months about ten beeves per diem to meet the demands ?of our city: besides this probably twelve hogs : there is also re? quired about 150 pounds of veal : of mut? ton there is comparatively little offer? ed, though in the spring the supply of sheep is greatly increased, running up as high as eight daily. JLiargr- quanti? ties cf sausages are consumed, a por? tion of the supply being brought in by the farmers. One firm frequently ships out six huudred pounds a day. Of fish the average daily consumption is abut three hundred strings, consist? ing of all variet;es. ' mullets, shad, bream, baas, sheephead, ?c. On Saturday the sales are proba? ly doubled. A small quantity of fish from the streams around increase this somewhat: of oysters, some 5 gallons daily are sold and of eggs, the demand infinitely exceeds the supply. It is difficult to state exactly the daily con? sumption. It ranges, perhaps, i rom sixty to seventy five dozen. Very few eggs are imported, the market depend? ing almost exclusively on the country around. Frequently last winter many had simply to go without because there were none on the market. The writer does not know of a more inviting field for enterprise than the establishment of a poulty farm. Our market too, is at present poorly stocked with chickens. The demand in this case also exceeding very greatly the supply. Of turkeys, however, the home raised stock seems to amply meet the requirements of the trade. This was not always the case in times past.* A great many of these birds used to be shipped in. Of vegetables, Florida and the coast add largely their quota, especially in tte early spring. There seems, however, to be no distinctive enterprise in truck farming in our midst. It would seem that trucking could be made a lucra? tive venture. Of fruit, Srmter is a great consumer, probably few points in the State exceed her. The sales at certian seasons of the year would amount to two huudred dollars, or even more, per day. Our market is certain? ly generously supplied in this respect. Best Cough Medicine for Chil? dren. When yon buy a cough medicine for small children you want one in which you can place implicit con?dence. You want one that not only relieves but cures. You want one that is unquestionably harmless. Yon want one that is pleasant to tc.ke. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy meets ali of these conditions. There is nothing so good for the coughs and colds incident to childhood. It is also a certain preven? tive and cure for croup, and there is no danger whatever from whooping cough when it is given. It has been ufed in many epidemics of that disease with per? fect success.

I desire to recommend to the City Council that the office of Assistant Chief of Police be abolished, and that two sergeants be appointed or elected. One of these to be on duty at all times. This, I think, will remove a cause of some litle friction among the officers at such times as the Chief and Assis? tant Chief have both been absent at the same time, which necessarily hap? pens frequently under the present arrangement. J. K. Bradford, Chief of Police. Private Fish Ponds. Perhaps there are few who knew that our worthy citizen, Mr. H. A. Hoyt has quite a flourishing pond cn his place near town. December two years ago the United States Fish Department sent him for this pond fifty black bass measuring perhaps from 4 to 7 inches i;i length. These small fry have grr.wn and developed until now Mr. Hoyt reports they are fine specimens. In addition to these Mr. Hoyt has stocked his pond with other varieties. He has probably not less than a thousand fish. Mr. Hoyt has it well guarded. It is reported that several neighbors propose fixing a pond on quite a large scale in the vicinity of this. It will be their ob? ject to have it well stocked and gov? erned bv stringent rules. Programme for Memorial Day.

The Clarendon commissioners through their attorney have made a demand upon the Sumter Telephone Company to remove its poles from .the public road, and the telephone officials claim that under section 2211 of the Civil Code it has the right to maintain its lines where now constructed, out it does norteare to bring suit to en? join our commissioners from interfer? ence, rather than do so, if our com? missioners persist in the demand the telephone company will discontinue its line in Clarendon. We hope some adjustment of this matter can be had, as the telephone connection to Sumter is a fcreat convenience, and if taken away will curtail the use of our local I line, because a large number of the j subscribers are using the 'phone main? ly cn account of the Sumter connec? tion. In our opinion the county com rniesiouers can for the public conveni? ence afford to make a concession to the Sumter Telephone Company. We arc satisfied if the public was to be consulted, it would declare in favor of letting the poles alone, if to interfere with them will lose communication with Sumter.-Manning Times.
