Earthworms Move Only When Ground Is Wet
A historical note explains earthworms travel mainly in wet conditions, citing Darwin and the need for moisture to move. They slip on dry surfaces, die when exposed to sun after drying, and retreat to six inches to two feet underground during dry or winter periods. Dormancy ends with heavy rain or spring thaws.

Judge Pritchard Upheld In Dispensary Case Ruling
In Richmond, Judge Jas E Boyd writes for the United States Court of Appeals to sustain Judge J C Pritchard's findings in Fleischmann & Co et al against the South Carolina dispensary commission. The ruling holds the fund in question is held in trust and not a state suit forbidden by the eleventh amendment. The opinion rejects treating the commission as a court and affirms the district court's decision. A forty day stay of mandate was granted on motion.

McCullough Comments on Dispensary Fund Ruling
Receiver Jos A McCullough said the state may seek a writ of certiorari to appeal to the US Supreme Court from Judge Pritchards interlocutory order. He noted the appeal’s doubt at this stage and that if granted the matter stays in abeyance until the high court acts. If refused, receivers would be ordered to take charge of funds upon tribunal instructions.
