LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Injustice to School.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 In the publishing of news items sent you from Greensboro which appear in your is sue of June Il you have the following:
 The society of Greensboro turned out to the commencement german of the Southern university which was held at the opera house last night" This is followed by news of some of the commencement exercises. This publication does the Southern university an injustice The german was not .the commencement ger man of the Southern university" and the Southern university had nothing whatever to do with the same, nor were students of this school allowed to be present. The german was given by the young ladies, and was not in the remotest way connected with the Southern univer- sity. It was reported as "the commence ment german" simply on account of the time, 1t being given on the night after the close of the commencement exercises The words "of the University" were added to my report of the affair and should not have been in the item.
 The Southern university is a church school and to have the impression go abroad that german was given under It's auspices might do it an injury, hence this correction. Yours truly.

VEGETABLE WAX.
The CandeIilIa Plant Gives Valuable
 Product.

San Antonio. Tex, June 12.-(Special )L Reports from Texas and Mexico show that the new vegetable wax made from the Candelila plant has met with un- usual success on the markets of Europe. One London firm has written to secure consignments of 50 tons a month Mexico alone expects to export from 250 to 300 tons a month. This will mean about S2, 100000 a year for the growers of the Candelila plant and the manufacturers of the wax.
 The Candelilla plant Is said to produce wax, not only equal, but superior to the famous Carnauba wax. As yet, the product of this kind of wax is small. only a few factories operating in north ern Mexico and southwest Texas, but the market for 1t has been good. The wax is used chiefly to take the place of rub Der and guttapercha in the insulation of electric wires. It is said to be superior to these and to prevent the frequent fires caused by defective insulation.
 The Candelilla plant grows profusely In northern Mexico and southwest Texas After being cut it reproduces itself with in a year or two and the same fields may be gone over again. The cost of refining 1t to wax is about 15 cents a lSilogram the market value is $1.20 A new indus try of the magnitude of the rubber indus try is expected to develop with the same rapidity.

JAIL AT POUGHKEEPSIE
 IS ON THE UPPER FLOORS

In view of the wide interest now be- ing taken in the courthouse bond issue proposition a letter describing the ele
 vated jail at Poughkeepsie, N. Y, will be of special interest. The following by
 Rev. W. E. Hutchinson appears in the Tuscaloosa Times-Gazette:
 To the Editor of the Times-Gazette:
 Between Sundays last July on which l preached in the First Presbyterian church of Peekskill, N. Y., where, by the way, Senator Chauncey M Depew still retains his church membership, and where MT. Cornelius Pugsley who wished very much to be MT. Bryan's running
 mate, is an elder-between Sundays, l say, I went up and down the Hudson and one week found me In Poughkeepsie Now in Poughkeepsle there is a new court house of which the county is very proud and over the courthouse there is jail of which some people are even prouder; for that combination of jail and court house was an experiment and many were doubtful The success of the experiment, therefore, doubly pleased Its advocates.
 Of these perhaps the most earnest was the chairman of the county board of supervision, from whom l was so for tunate as to secure a letter to the sher- If requesting that l be allowed to see everything there was to be seen about the new jail.
 The new courthouse stands upon the
 site of the old one in the very heart
 of the business section of the city. Close
 by are two first-class hotels, one of them just across the street from the court
 house and opposite on the other street
 is the celebrated restaurant of Smith Brothers, makers of those even more widely known cough drops which have come at least as far as Tuscaloosa. No lady in the town for the day thinks Of lunching anywhere else than at Smiths; and no young man out in the evening with his best girl thinks of asking her to take anywhere else the lee cream
 which In July is so necessary toward the smooth running of true love in New York | as well as in Alabama. It will then be i evident that the presence of the jail over | the courthouse is not in any way ob- | fashionable and does not in any way proven the most fastidious from frequent | ing that part of the city. 1t is com I pletely isolated from public notice and | one could not by any chance find out | that there was near at hand such thing | as jail unless he sought for it.
 | There Is no stairway leading to the | jail. The only entrance is by elevator | and as I remember there is special | elevator to bring prisoners from the jail | to an entrance to the court room used | by none but themselves The jail floor | Is divided into three parts Gin classic | fashion, of which one-third is occupied | by the cage with its two tiers of cells where the male prisoners are confined

 papers reported that under a changed
 regime Thaw's privileges were a good
 oeal curtailed and he was locked up in
 a cell like any other prisoner. The third
 division lying between the other two was
 occupied by the commodious quarters of
 the keepers with sitting room. bed rooms and bath; the elevators which were strong ly locked and guarded and by padded
 cells with deadened walls, lighted only
 by skylights high up, where noisy and
 violent prisoners may be kept until they
 are willing to be quiet and behave de-
 gently.
 The perfect sanitary arrangements,
 plentiful water supply, bath rooms for
