ABUSIVE LANGUAGE IN COURT.

Lawyers for the defense in the
trial of the Coopers and Sharp in
sist that Editor Carmack should
have keen killed by Col. Cooper
long before he was for the abusive
language he used in his editorials,
thus applying the unwritten law to
the editors. If this be true in the
case of editors, why is it not equal
ly true of the lawyers, especially in
the case of the lawyers engaged on
the side of the defense in this very
trial? Beyond all reasonable doubt
Carmack would have been slain
long before he was had he printed
in his paper the things the lawyers
uttered in their speeches against the
defendant, ndpublic opinion would
have sustained the killing. We are
not justifying Carmack or any edi-
tor in vilifying private or public
men, but we would like to know
what divinity hedges layer to i'm
mune him against the consequences
of acts that damn the editor.-Pe-
tersburg Index-Appeal.
1t has always been Incompetent
sible to us why judges permit some
lawyers to abuse and maltreat wit
nesses and cast slurs on people not
warranted by any facts before the
court. In doing this they seem to
fail to preserve decorum and that
dignity which should characterize
every court of justice. A witness
should not be forced by. the court
to protect himself or to 60 without
protection in the court room from
attacks on his character .-Staunton

A REAL GOOD ROADS MAN.

Mr.. Robert G Smith, citizen
and taxpayer of Mount Vernon
District, Fairfax county has the
real roads spirit. He believes that
good roads are the Commercial
savior of the people," and recog-
nizes thoroughly that organization
and cooperation are absolutely
necessary in order to attain practi-
cal results.
In communication to the Fair
fax Herald, Mr.. Smith recites facts
and figures as to road building in
various progressive States OF the
Union, and goes into detail as to
the road situation in his own par
ticular county.
Mr.. Smith makes this practical
suggestion:
II shall be pleased to lend my
aid in every way possible to the
good cause. but then, realize that
one layman may be able to do but
little; however, suggest that all
taxpayers of Fairfax equity who
are interested in it's welfare by con-
struction of good roads, be invited
to meet in some place and manner
to be decided upon and organize
themselves into a Good Roads AS
ISOLATION (f there be none), where
the good work of discussing and as
sisting in the accomplishment OF
this most important publicquestion
may be publicly done, thus assist
ing the'county officials and giving
rlnsiure tn all concerned -
If every county in Virginia had
an aggressive local good roads as
ISOLATION, the day of bad roads
would more quickly disappear. Lo-
cal sentiment is the most potent
force in any cause, and sentiment,
to be effective, must be crystalized.
This can be done only by organiza-
ton, cooperation and intelligent,
unremitting agitation.
The people of Fairfax can have
no better suggestion than that adj
vanced by Mr.. Smith, and it is
greatly to be desired that his advice
will strike responsive chord, not
only in his own county, but also in
every comfy in Virginia. Editor
ial, Richmond Evening Journal.

HOSPITABLE HEROINES.

The palm of heroism should be
given to the women of the South
for their courage, their endurance,
their self-sacrifcing helpfulness dur
ing the Civil War. Our Northern
brothers are recognizing this now
as never before.
An instance of hospitality on the
part of Southern women even when
they were half starving, is afforded
by an experience of Mary Gay, au-
thor of Life in Dixie During the
War" Her mothers home, in De-
catur, Ca, had been taken as head
quarters by a cavlary regiment,
and her servants and provisions
confscated. When the soldiers
went away there was nothing eata-
bic left, save the grains of corn
scattered on the ground where they
had fed their horses. These grains
the ladies : reared in luxury pick
ed from the ground, and also out of
the cracks of the drawers of their
mahogany bureaus which the SOL
diers had used as feeding troughs.
They crushed the corn into hominy
and cooked it, and gave a portion
of it to sick Federal soldier who
had been left behind and whom
