It Means That Men Must Behave
in Their Presence.


in Their Presence.
Chief Jailer Schumacher has in
augurated a system, which will no
doubt be appreciated by ladies who
have occasion to visit the county
jail.
When the prisoners hold CONVEX
sations among themselves, or ad-
dress each other, their language,
usually, is not of the choicest kind,
and to try to prevent the prisoners
from indulging in this kind Of
language would be utterly useless.
A prisoner, however, no matter for
what crime he may be incarcer-
ated, has a certain degree Of respect
for a woman, and will always dis
play his best manners when he is
aware that woman is within
sight or hearing.
Mr.. Schumacher has, there
fore, instructed the prison
ers that whenever a woman enters
he will sound whistle, and to
govern themselves accordingly.
Such an instance occurred yes
terday, as a reporter for the LIGHT
visited the Jail, and it worked ad-
mirably. The reporter, on hearing
the whistle, inquired as to its mean
ing, when the chief jailer explain
ed it.

-"Perhaps you would not think
so, but very large proportion of
diseases in New York comes from
carelessness about catching cold"
says DIR. Cyrus Edison. at is such
a simple thing and so common that
very few people, unless it is a case
of pneumonia, pay any attention
to a cold. There are a great many
cases of catarrh and consumption
which hare their origin in this
neglect of the simplest precaution
of every day life. The most sem
sible advice is, when you have one,
get rid of it as soon as possible.
BY all means do not neglect it,"
DR.. Edison does not tell you how to
cure a cold, but he will. Take

Mr.. Fred Miller, of Irving, ILL.,, writes
that he had a severe kidney trouble for
many years, with severe pains in his back
and also that his bladder was affected.
He tried many socalled kidney cures, but
without good result. About a year ago
he began the use of Electric Bitters and
found relief at once. Electric Bitters is
especially adapted to cure OF all Kidney
and Liver troubles, and often gives almost
instant relief. One trial will prove our

Judsc 0o6's Letter.

the "hojdInr Of an election" In south
Carolina In the first place. and that IN
the second the appellate court never hein
that his view Of the resistration-law was
wrong. but only that the complainant had
a remedy at law. and that therefore
equity had no jurisdiction.
The Judges explanation IL no DOUBT
correct. but II Is too technical for the
average reader
In plain terms his decision would have
handed over the State Government OF
South Carolina to the most ignorant and
irresponsible OF South Carolina's popula-
ton; while the appellate court put It's
foot down on that sort OF thing.
Judge COTS decision abrogated the state
regfstration-laws and delighted the Re-
publicans. The appellate courts decision
reversed Judge COTS and delighted the
Democrats. And so the Democrats or
South Carolina arc still ION top and Will
there remain n they will cease sauabbling

Revival Of the Iron Inuusfry.

In the Dispatches telegraph columns
yesterday morning were two especially
significant and cheering industrial an
nouncements. One was that the Buena
Vista furnace. at Buena Vista, Rock
bridge county. had been leased by the
Rich Patch Iron Company. and would be
put In blast within thirty days. The
other was that the furnace of the APP
palachian Steel and Iron Company, at
Big Stone Gap, Wise county, had started
up.
The Buena Vista is one Of the largest
OF the furnaces that were built during
the boom times, and has been out OF
blast for some two years. Taking Rich
Patch as a centre, there is within ra-
dius. Of say, forty miles. a practically in
exhaustible supply Of high-grade ore,
with an abundance of the best of lime
stone for fuxing almost in Juxtaposition.
Not only that, but this horizon Is within
q short haul Of coal that makes the best
smelling and burden-bearing coke pro-
duced in this country. The Buena Vista
furnace comes within this great natural
iron manufacturing centre, and there are
also in it the Low Moor. the Iongdale,
the Covington, the Victoria. the Iron Gate.
and several other stacks. The determine
ton to operate Buena Vista again, affords
additional evidence of what has been
apparent for some months, and that Is
that all the territory In what may be
termed, In a general wdy. the Rich
Patch horizon. is on the eve Of great
Industrial reawakening and develop
ment.
The furnace Of the Appalachian Steel
and Iron Company Is I'm different. but
no less important ore reach, and while
It Is true that 1t only shut down In May.
and then on account Of the strike in the
Flat Top coal region. its starting up again
Is a most gratifying sign. Up to few
months ago pig-iron manufacturers were
as a rule. glad Of an opportunity to blow
out" as they could not AFFORD to pile IN
stock for which there was no demand.
The resumption OF operations by the two
furnaces In question has a much broader
bearing than is involved In the benefits
that will accrue to the immediate sections
In which they are located. A revival of
the pig-iron industry in Virginia, such
as that resumption indicates, means more
hauling for the railroads, renewed activity
in plants devoted 10 the building of'rail-
road rolling stock. an increase OF the out
put OF the rolling mills and Of the vari-
Gus minor iron manufacturing estab-
lishments. the employment Of many la
borers. mechanics. and others who have
for a long time been idle, and the distri-
button Of a great deal Of money through
the channel OF wages.

English Women ana Lynch LAW.
Those women OF England who are under
taking TO pass upon the matter Of lynch
ings here in the South, and who have
managed to get up a row among them
selves. don't know anything Of the sub
ject In hand.
IL they were fully informed as to why
lynchings are frequent In the South, we
should have no great reluctance to having
them decide whether the lynchers are or
are not bad men.
Our fair. but foolish British cousins.
ought to know that It is dangerous
thing, for men or women either. to decide
a question upon ex parte testimony. AZ
yet they have heard only one side OF
the controversy IL they could hear the
other side--our side--we should think that
what they are now. Then, instead Of
denouncing all Of these lynchings. we
fancy they would endorse and approve
the majority Of them.
The agitators who have been at work
against the South in England have never
told those people what the crime is which
causes most of the lyncblngs. II Is an
embarrassing subject to discuss before
any audience. more especially an audi
ence composed of ladies and gem
tlemen both, and we need never to ex-
pect TO make our side known In that
way But isn't II time that the South
was defending herself in some effectual
manner? We think so. The only plan
that now occurs TO US Is to print an I'M
vanished statement OF the cause OF most
southern lynchings, and send 1t TO the
men OF England time after time. until
Trustworthy information on the subject
Is thus spread broadcast over that land.
This we think would put complete check
upon the operations Of the Ida Wells
societies.
Meanwhile the SoI.h will best deal with
this question II let alone. Outside inter
ference, no matter whether from the
North or from England, can only harm the
cause which the Ida Wells women profess
to favor.
We know of no help that the Ida
Wells party can give us, unless it be to
send missionaries to the South to preach
against the enormity Of the freedman's
crime, and to warn all who are likely
to commit 1t that 1t will meet with certain
punishment in this world and in the
world TO come.
1t may be that something may be done
by earnest work In this direction II not,
a
better disband forthwith and forever.

The virginia Jury svstem.

The Danville Register says that our
Virginia jury system Is "all right" but
the trouble is the Legislature has from
time TO time loaded down the statute
books with laws that exempt 30 many
men from jury duty that II Ii now diff
cult. especially in the cities. to obtain
such juries as the old laws contem-
plated" And the Register concludes that
''the laws in Virginia on this subject
need overhauling. and the constitutional
convention. when II shall meet, Will have
this question TO deal with. and IL 1t deals
with II properly II will make 1t impossi-
Bile for the Legislature to tamper too
much with the old-time jury system"
II Ii an undeniable fact that in Vr-
ginia cities 1t is becoming more and more
difficult to secure proper jurymen. Many
of the most desirable men are exempt
from fury service and others of them are
very successful In framing excuses with
like effect. And vet these men are Of
the very class that are loudest in their
denunciation OF jury trials when any
thing goes wrong.
We thank the Lord that In Virginia we
have never been--certainly rarely been
afflicted with venal jures, but OF incom-
petent turies we have had more than
enough.
The present method Of instructing ju-
ries. especially In murder cases. is such
as requires quick intelligence, patient In
quiry. and fine judgment on the part OF
Jurors. There Is often such an amount
OF see-sawing, SO to speak. In these In
structions II IL not to be expected that
