Moro About the Chesapeake and ohio
Railroad.


correspondence of the Richmond nispatchl
SECTION 100, c. & O.. r. R.,
August Goth, 1915
Having noticed several articles In your
paper on the subject Of the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad, and as there is considerable
interest manifested by the public in regard
to the construction and completion OF this
future grand thoroushfare, think perhaps
a few lines from q part Of the " scene OF
action" may not be uninteresting to your
readers.
This section Is in FaYette county. on New
river, some 90 miles above its mouth, and
about 50 miles west of the White Sulphur.
A description Of the famous valley through
which the river winds its tortuous course I
will leave to q writer of a more romantic
turn of mind than myself; feeling that I
could not do justice to its nagnifcence {;
suffice it to say that it reminds one Of the
"Falley Of Diamonds" of Siubad the
Sailor, Astounding in rich veins of iron, coal,
and other minerals. The problem has here
which problem is about to be solved by the
completion of the railroad. That event will
| not only arouse this valley. but the whole
country for many miles around, from the
| lethargy in which it has laid fox years, into
| new life and activity. Many northern capi-
talists are already buying up large tracts of
lard in this county, foreseeing their future
value. West Virginia, as well as dear cold
Virginia the "mothcr of States and
statesmen"-is looking up, and promises
well to be one Of the leading States in the
| Union.
The work OH This part Of the line is going
| on rapidly, and the sound Of the hammers,
| the hum Of the workmen, and the loud ex.
plosion Of blasts as some huge cliff is top.
| pied over into the river, all indicate the
| activity with which the work is being push
ed forward. Upon the whole, everything
! Is going on rs glibly as the most sanguine
could expect. The contractor on this Sec
| ton is j. W. Jordan, Jr., of Rockbridge
| county, a young "railroader," but man
! Of much business tact. His work is going
on as rapidly as any on the line, and if he
| gets the reward of his perseverance and
diligence he will realize good sum from
! this (his filst) contract.
| Several melancholy cases of drowning
have occurred recently on the line few
miles above here. The victims were two
| white and five colored laborers-mnst of
them at different times, but all within the
space of week. | might relate other items
| of news, but as they may not be interest
! ing to my eastern friends, will not ask to
crowd your valuable space further.
| GORDON.

Apartment Question.

MRssRs. EDITORS: Your readers are
well aware that, in the year 1872, the
United States Congress did pass bill,
which became an Act, donating public
lands to the several States and Terrific
ries, for the purpose OF providing COL
leges for the benefit Of agriculture and
the mechanic nrts.
We know, further. that subsequently
Congress passed an Act extending the
time granted the several States to signify
their acceptance Of the provisions of said
Act.
We think, too. and almost know, that
the Legislature of South Carolina did
pass an Act, accepting the conditions Of
this donation. and did appoint COM
mission. consisting OF the Governor, At
torney-General and Secretary of State,
who were authorized and empowered to
receive. sell and assign these lands, at
snch times and upon such terms, as to
them might appear most advantageous
to the interests of the State.
Now, the Act of Congress required
the proceeds Of the sales Of these lands
to be appropriated in q specific way, and
for sole purpose. We, therefore, ask
you, for the benefit OF your multiplying
readers. to inform tho public whether
this donation has been received? II re-
ceived, have the lands been sold2 If
sold, what has become of the money! If
spent, has the foundation of IN agrioul.
tnral college been laid? &C., 60, et al.

Case OF Hsbeas Corpus.

a oUHoWH Has novel Jad5 Gamo Hr before
Judge Melton. on Friday last, at cham
bers. Andrew j. Fish. Deputy Sheriff
Of Leon County, Florida. was summoned
to show cause why he was restraining the
liberty Of Benjamin Ohaires. Jr., whom
he had in charge "a an alleged lunatio,
and whom he had brought to be con-
signed to the asylum here. The prison.
or, who seems cultivated and inte]li-
gent man, denied the allegation OF
lunacy, claimed that he was the victim of
conspiracy and demanded his liberty.
Tie case came up before the Judge.
The defendant, the Deputy Sheriff,
showed his authority. which was the de-
cree OF Tallahassee court, srthenti.
GATED by t. great seal Of the little State
OF Floridn. The counsel for the pri-
soner, after submitting the affidavit Of
DR.. r. W. Gibbes, that he could discover
no marks Of lunacy whatever in the pri.
soner, but believed him to be OF sound
mind, took the ground that. without re-.
ference to the decision and decreo Of the
Florida Judge, che prisoner was entitled
to hearing ds nouo before confinement
In South Carolina institution; and sug-
gested that even if the Judge did not
deem it his duty to release the prisoner
on the showing made, heought, at least,
to give him the benefit OF the Same pre-.
liminary examination that was necessary
in the case of a local party charged with
lunacy, and whose person it was desired
to restrain.
The counsel for the Deputy Sheriff
took the ground that the authority that
he exhibited should be deemed conclu-
sive. and that the Judge could not inter-
fere at this stage and prevent the prison
ers delivery to DR.. Ensor, the Superin-
tendent of the Lunatic Asylum. Judge
Melton said that the question was q new
one to him, and that he had given the
subject, within the past twenty-four
hours, good deal of thought. The
writ of ha6eas corpus he would never
deny. But when the case comes up, the
gist OF the matter, 30 far as he was con-
oerned, consisted in this: Is the prisone,
legally or illegally detained2 That, he
thought, was now the question before
him. He could not go behind the great
seal OF the State of Florida, and con-
slider the merits or dement's of the case.
He, therefore, ruled that he could not
interpose between the prisoner and the
asylum. So the prisoner was delivered
by the person in charge to the Superin-
tendent of the asylum. The Deputy
Sheriff was represented by Messrs. Pope
& Haskell; the prisoner by Messrs. Rion
& Thomas.

We beg to call attention to the sub.
Joined card of the committee, and to
urge the Importance of prompt re.
sponse on the part of our people. The
distinguished counsel who have 80 ably
vindicated the supremacy of civil Law
and the rights Of our citizens under such
law, having succeeded in carrying several
cases up to the Supreme Court, have
gone to Washington to argue these cases
before that high tribunal. It is proper
that their fees should be paid without
delay. Charleston, Georgetown, Ches-
ter and Fairfield are the only Counties
which have contributed in full the
amounts asked OF them. The two
former of these Counties have given
more than was required; Charleston,
which responded with promptness and
liberality worthy of all praise. having
contributed fifty per cent. more than it's
quota. We trust that the other Coun-
ties will not be slow to follow her noble
example. Notice will be given through
this paper as soon as sufficient funds are
raised:
The committee charged with the duty
OF raising funds to pay the counsel en-
ployed to defend tho prisoners arrested

committees to send in at once whatever
amounts have beon collected. Romit.
