JUNCTION VALLEY TURNPIKE.-Our friend of
the Lexington Gazette accuses us of lukewarnness
In reference to this projected improvement. We
must, however, plead not guilty, 10 the charge. 1t
is true we have not published much in the way of
editorials, on the suhect-for the reason that our
attention has been mainly directed to the greater
and more important work of extending the rail road
TO this place-but the merits of the enterprise have
been fully explained in various communications
which have appeared in our columns and TO which
we have cheerfuIly given place. Now that the
amount necessary for commencing the rail- road has
been secured, we will cordially unite with the Ga
zette, in Urging subscriptions 10 the Turnpike, in
the construction of which our immediate community
and large portion of the county are undoubtedly
deeply interested. The Commissioners at this
point have exhibited no lack Of energy for some
days past, and we are pleased 10 be able to announce
that the amount of stock apporlioned to Stanton
has nearly been taken. Let the Commissioners at
other places on the route show equal activity. and
we will sooD have it in power to announce that
the whole amount is subscribed

How 1T oRIGINATED.-Our readers will reco-
lect the story published some weeks since in the
Washington Union, and copied in other Democrat
ic papers, in which Secretary EWING was charged
with selling the office Of Public Gardener, for $780,
in the way of house rent The Washington Cor
respondent of the New York Courier and Enquirer
traces the affair to its origin and states that the vile
fabrication deliberately concocted by no less a
person than Mr. BURKE, the ex- Commissioner of
Patents, and junior editor of the Union. brief
statement of the facts is given, showing in what
manner the cunning and INSCRIPTIONS politician
imposed upon the cedulity of the unsuspecting gar
dener, and attempted TO palm off upon the public, as
the plain story of an ignorant man, the malicious
coinage of his Own scheming brain. Mr.. DoUG
LASS, the owner of the house. is said to be highly
indignant at the course which BURKE has pursued
and asserts his entire ignorance of Mr. IS object at
the time of his interference
The base charge against Mr.. EWING bore upon
lis face the impress Of faIsehood, and we are only
surprised that a story so evidently ''gotten up,"
should have emanaed from that factory of acute
tricks and cunhing devices, the sauctum of the
Washington Union.

Raiiroad--Progrcss of subscription

by an act OF the Legislature, passed the 9Th of
March, 1919, The Stock of the Louisa Railroad
Company was authorised TO be increased AL so. 600.

by that act, from Waynesboro' to Stauuton: with n
provision that the Board of Public Works should
subscribe thereto, on the part of the Commonwealth
IN the same proportion and upon the same terms Sc,
forth in the act of March 9Th, lS4o. By the act
here referred TO, it was provided, that when 400
GOO should be subscribed by others than the Com.
monweaith, and paid or secured to be paid then the
board OF Public Works should subscribe $50 600.
and IN the same proportion, until the whole sum an
thorized by the act first mentioned, should be raised
The County Court, in pursuance of the vote q,
Way last, has, by its Commissioner, subscribed

AGO. making $50, 400 other than the Common
wealth so that the Board of Public Works. when.
ever called upon,will subscribe $i5 600 making the
amount Of $4,000 with which to commence opera-
lions.
IL contractors take as has been calculated $40 OOO
more, an additional $4,000 will be secured from
the State, and on the day the work is lie, out there

scrIp'Ions between the present time and the day Of

IL VIII be seen by these statements, that 1924 600

S9,ooo by individuals, with Sl4 400, the three
hllhs OF the lacking sum, will make the amount
This is cheering and fatering; but we beg it to be
remembered, that the sum set down for CON
tractors, although probable, is still contingency
and consequently the States three fifihs upon it.
equally So The two contingencies make $50, 900.
"hlle the prospects then are highly encouraging.
1t will not do 10 slacken effort or rely too confident
ly on foreign aid. Where are the independentfarm-
ers OF Augusta, whose names are not found upon
the subscription list? Will they be satisfied to call
upon HERCULES and not put their shoulders to the
wheels?
Inc farming interest, manfestly, lies at the foun-
dalton OF all others. Landholders are benefited by
railroads and other modes of transportation. prima
rly, essentially, variously other interests, second
arily and incidentally. Therefore it is, that this
first and most important class of citizens, will al
ways be expected to do good part in the good
work OF internal improvement.

HE FAcroRY.-One of The many evidences of
advancing business and enterprise in our commun-

by company of four gentlemen, in the vicinity of
the town. The building is wooden structure of
goodly size and proportions, and furnishes hand
some feature to the landscape. L. is situated on
Lewis Creek, near the place well known as elm

the most picturesque valleys in this region of coun-

supply of water to the Factory at all seasons, and
Will also, by means of tiny boat to glide upon its
bosom, afford much pleasure and healhful exercise
to those in search of either
During stroll a few evenings since, in the neigh
ooFhood OF the Factory, we were forciby struck
with the beauty of the scenery. On one of the hills
which forms the Valley, is the Virginia Institution
for the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind farther Off, on
the opposite side, is the State Lunatic ASYLUM
both noble buildings; Betsy Bell, the GENTS loci,
and other tall wooded hills, stand around while in
the distant -. East, the ve" bounded by the blue
mountains.
The Factory will be completed in about two
months, when the machinery will be put in opera
ton.

WASHINGTON MoNUMENT.-The commissioners
appointed by the Governor, offer premium of five
hundred dollars for plan for the Virginia State

will be constructed Of Virginia granite or marble, or
a combination of both. The last Legislature made
appropriation to increase the funds already sub

be the cost Of the work.
