Orange and KeysvilIe Rond.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Please let the public know all you can
near about the Orange and keysville
road. EAAM-
When the Orange Keysville railroad
was being located from Orange Court
house to Keysvile. the Hon. John S.
Barbour was the president of the Viz
ginia Midland Company and General
Wickham was the president of the Ches-
apeake and Ohio Railroad Company.
Both were very friendly to the enter
prise, but it was, Of course, considered
most likely that the new road would be-
come a part of the Richmond and Dan
willie system The reorganized company
proposes primarily to complete its partly
graded roadway rom Farmville to
Keysville. and as to the rest to be gov
erned by circumstances. Some think
that this part of it's projected roadway
ought to be part of the line from Dur
ham. making Farmville, instead of Keys
Vile the northern terminus of the Dur
ham division of the Southern railway.
It is urged by them that moderate
mileage of additional! roadway in North
Carolina would carry the line from Dur
ham to the Atlantic Coast Line at San
ford; but the Orange and keysville
Company, at present, is an entirely in
denrndent organization. under me name

Upon Examination at the Hospital F4er Body was
Discovered to be Covered with Scars, Caused
by the F}ypoderi0ic Injection Of Morphine
Facts Published as Warning TO Other Women

The above headlines recite the
actual experience of poor wreck OF
3 woman who had once held an hon
orable and lucrative position in a
large mercantile house in New York.
Her health began to fail, and instead
of taking rest and proper medical
treatment she resorted to stimulants
and morphine.
The hospital physician discovered
that her primary trouble was an
affection Of the womb, which
could readily have been cured In the
first stages. If when she had first
felt those severe pains in the back,
the terrible headaches, the constant
sense Of fullness. soreness and pain
in the pelvic region, she had needed
the warning that serious trouble was
in store, and commenced q regular
treatment with the Pinkhan Rene
dies. as did Mrs. Robcr Of Chicago,
whose letter follows, the polypus
in the womb would have been dis
solved and passed away, and to-day
she would have been a well woman.
Why will women let themselves
drift along into terrible suffering
and sickness in this way, when there
is monumental proof that Lydia
r. Pinkha:n's Vegetable Com
pound is daily relieving thousands
OF women from this very trouble?
There is no excuse for any woman
who suffers to go without help. Mrs.
Pinkham is very glad indeed to give
her personal advice to any one who
will write for it. and the following
letter simply goes to prove that the
Vegetable Compound viii positively

Granting of acquisitions.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Please state what you understand to
be the law and practice with respect TO
the granting of requisitons. G. l. ~
Without going into a technical discus
sion of the constitutional and statutory
provisions pertaining TO the issuing OF
recuisiticns and the granting of rendition
warrants. we will say. in a general way
that much, in such cases, is left. to the
discretion of the executives of the Seve-
raj States.
The laws bearing upon this subject ap-
pa-ently are clear and unequivocal, but
there is always great difference between
matter Of fact and matter of law. 1t is
the mater of fact" rather than the
law, which usually complexities the OK
tradition Of criminals.
For instance, governors sometimes cor
slider the expenses involved in extraditinS
prisoners, ard then, too, they may not
be satisfied with the evidence upon whic!
extradjtion papers are issued or asked
In short, the alleged fugitive must be
protected, as we'll as the asgrieved per-
son. and the welfare Of the Common
wealth must be considered from every
standpoint.
Twenty-Five or more States. Virginia in
Guided. some years ago held a convention
of their representatives. and adopted =
common set of rules, regulating the mat
ter Of extraditon and the manner in
which the papers should be made out
Their aim was to procure uniformity,
and in a certain sense they did procure
it. These rules. If we may speak loosely
to illustrate q point. are a sort of con-
tract between the States entering into
the agreement. But they do not bind
States which did not enter into the agree
ment. And SO there IS no complete uni
formty in the laws regulating the extra
dition Of criminals.
gentleman who has had much expe-
rence in such matters informs us that
he has seen three successive sets OF
extradltion papers rejected by a Virginia
Governor because the State issuing them
did not comply with the rules followed
other hand, this States acquisitions have
been rejected by the governors of other
States
II the Executive issued acquisitions for
fusitives every time he was asked to do
So he would involve the State in great
expense. The civil contingent fund is
SMALL ard it would soon be absorbed by
his expense alone unless discretion
were used AS it is, hundreds of dollars
are annually expended in bringing crimi-
nails back to Virginia.
