Its UpTo Us.

In another column we publish a
letter from WA Bratton. prosecut-
ing attorney, in regard to the lIq-
nor business. Also a blank he has
been sending out in an effort to OBJ
tain information upon which TO
base action to put a stop to the IL
licit sale Of whiskey. The cry has
long gone up that the prosecuting
attorney would not or could not
close the saloons on the upper
Greenbrier. In Mr. Bratton we
.laye' one who can and who will if
the people really desire it. In this
part of the county there is a decid-
ed sentiment against the whiskey
business and it has been a long
time since there has been even an
attempt at illicit retailing in lower
pocahontas. While conditions here
may not be exactly the same. we
have a class of citizenship very sIm-
liar to that in the towns Of Upper

one to a half a dozen saloons. in

The School Fund.

The Rockbridge County News
has called the attention Of its read
ers to the fact that that county re.
ceives from the general State fund
for public school purposes more
money than it pays in State taxes
for public school purposes. Its
original statement was that the
county paid in to the treasurer's Of
flee in Richmond $4,621.32 and re-
ceived $4,000 on the school ac-
'count.
A correspondent Of the News
now tells the. editor that this state
ment does the county an injustice,
as the News failed to take into ac-
count the capitation tax and the
railroad tax. But the News shows
that, even granting these allow
ances, the balance is still in favor
of the county. 1t says that the
amount paid in on the capitat'on
tax account was was $3,162, and
that the State tax for schools on

Upon the strength Of the report
that there are numerous cases OF
smallpox along the border line in
upper Pocahontas, Winterburn and
other points, we make the follow
ing suggestion as a means of get
ting rid of the anxiety and fear OF
an outbreak during the winter,
the season when it might be ex-
pected to assume a malignant form:
Let the Board of Health authorize
and direct that no one now employ
ed Oh that side, or who may go
there for work or otherwise be al
lowed to return to any community
Of Highland without bringing with
him certiicateshowi that he has
not been exposed. The law Of self
preservation would prompt a SUI
ficient number in each neighbor-
hood to enforce the regulation, and
the carrying out of such a reguia-
zion would be inexpensive to the
county as compared with the plac-
ing of guards along the mountain
top, which might become necessary
should the disease continue to Turk
in the lum ber-camps and our peo-
ple be allowed to go and come at
will.
The steps taken by our officials
to stamp out the disease in High
land have been at no little expense
and inconvenience, and their
prompt action is praiseworthy, but
there is little comfort in the
thought that they have succeeded,
if the lives and business interests
of the people are to be ieopardlzed
by the coming and going Of scores
of'men each month.
The regulation we suggest, or
something similar, would De eff
fectual, we believe, and can be en-
forced. An examp, &or two might
be necessary, but end would

apprehension some CHI protective

SearchIights for the Exposition

Poking their long fingers OF
light into every corner Of Hampton
Roads, and illuminating every de-
tail of cloudland, searchlights will
make night as bright as day during
the Jamestown Exposition, which
is to be held next year at Sewell's
Points, next Norfolk, Va.
just across Hampton Roads from
Sewell's Point is Fortress Monroe,
which is equipped with powerful
searchlights, by means Of which a
newspaper can be read five miles
away. Every warship at the Naval
Rendezvous next year will also
have searchlights, some OF which
are so powerful as to require a
special engine to generate their
electricity. Among the largest OF
these is that just supplied to the
new battleship, Connecticut. The
lens of this searchlight is more
than five feet across. When the
maximum power is being used the
lights nave an intensity Of sixty
thousand candle power, and it's rays
can be thrown several miles.
Searchights we're originally
adopted to find torpedo boats at
night. They are now used Tor
signalling, to discover a man over
hoard, to aid navigation, and for
many other purposes. When a
man falls overload from one OF the
great ships at seattle searchllghl,
is at once trained upon him, and
the ray is held there until he is
picked up by The boats.
In signalling shutter is at
tached to the searchlight. This
alternately interrupts and prolonGs
or shortens the period du ing
which the light is visible. Rv this
means the operator is able to tele-
graph forty miles, using any tele'
graph code. In Manila harbor,
during the insurreSA| messages
were frequently~s more than
forty miles, bN<6 the clouds as
reAectors. T$ system can be used
on cloudless nights but the signals
cannot be seen so far.
Searchlight drills take place
whenever a squadron lies in harbor,
steam launches to represent attack.
ing torpedo boats, are sent out
from the vessels, with instructions
to return under full speed. each
launch striving to get as close as
possible without being discovered.
Meantime the searchlights are so
directed as to have their rays skim
every square yard of water within
the lights range. Sometimes, even
under the severe glare Of light, the
boats succeed in reaching their
ships. In actual war this would
of course, result in the humiliation
of the war vessel.
Visitors to the jamestown Ex-
position will have an opportunity
to see search light drills on a scale
never before attempted.
