This we want distinctly understood
the Signal will always uphold South
ern womanhood, and will never advo-
cate thing that will cause her to be
dragged into our courts to testify
against the brute who assaults her
honor.-Copioh Signal.
The Signal is to be commended for
its resolution to "always uphold
Southern womanhood." All right
minded, chivalric men will honor and
defend true womanhood, whether it be
Southern, Northern, European or what
not. THE LEADER fails to see, though,
how having woman who has been as
saulted to testify in a regularly organ.
lied court, where all persons may be
excluded except court officials, jurors
and attorneys, can be worse than hav
ing them appear and testify before a
mob, as is and must be done in cases
out of 10, if the guilt of the accused is
established and the risk of hanging an
innocent man is averted.
The LEADER did not intend to 'at-
tack" the Signal, and regrets that it
feels that it has been attacked" We
only sought to get it to define it's posi-
ton on a serious and important ques-
ton and point out in respectful terms
some of its untenable positions. Nei-
ther did we intend to call in question
the Signals honesty or sincerity. We
simply think it got tangled up by its
own contradictory language-''in the
woods as the preachers some time
call it. While we may not be zen rap
port" with the Signal, we certainly are
with the highest and best authorities
on law and the science of government
in all civilized countries, and this is
worth a great deal, whether the Signal
is able to appreciate it yet or not.

ALWAYS ELEVEN.
The Checks Passed by Underwood
Are for That Amount.

The examination of Joe Underwood
on a charge of passing a forged check
for S11 on John Morrison was to. have
taken place before Justice Henry yes
terday afternoon, but was postponed
until : p. m. on Monday.
Underwood also, it is stated, passed
a check on Simon Sturmer, the K-street
jeweler, for $11, and the one passed in
Roseville was for the same amount. He
played a sharp trick on Mr.. Sturmer.
Driving up in front of his store in a
buggy, to which two fine horses We're
hitched, he called him out to the side
walk, and, after stating that he had
watches repaired there several times,
said: Il came here too late to get into
the bank, which is closed. Ifwanted to
get a check of my employers cashed,
and you will oblige me if you will cash
it, and you can get the money in the
morning. SIS
His appearance and apparent
straightforwardness. so impressed Mr..
Sturmer that he let him have the S11
without hesitation, but found to his
sorrow next day that the check was
worthless. He may yet place a charge
against Underwood, but has not de-
cided yet to do So 1t remains to be de-
termined whether eleven is a lucky or
an unlucky number for Underwood

FOUR DIVORCES.
The Result of One Days Work of the
Superior Judges.

Judge Hughes yesterday granted
Laura J. Woods a divorce from Il. w.
Woods on the ground of extreme cru
city.
Alma Lawson was granted a divorce
from her husband, w. 3. Lawson, on
the same ground.
In Judge Johnson's court John A.
White was granted a divorce from
Belle o. White on the ground of deser-
ton.
Nellie Stackhouse was also granted
a divorce from Thomas Edward Stack
house. The testimony showed that the
husband got drunk a number of times
and had threatened the life of his wife
and her sister, besides tearing his wife's
clothes and his own to pieces. He had
also threatened to kill her if she re-
fused to live with him longer. Mrs.
Stackhouse and her sister told how he
tore up lace curtains and drove them
out of the house with a bread knife
and as he did not appear in court, the
judgment was granted by default.
There are a large number of other
divorce cases on the calendar but they
do not generally come UP in court quite
SO thick as they did yesterday
