Col. Garner ON Asphalt povements

N~ols warmer OH Asphalt R0YementS.
To EDITOR OF THE TIMEs:-I had in
tended some time ago to offer at the
proper time my opinion on asphalt
paving. In April, 1890, left Roanoke
for the sole purpose of looking into the
merits of different kinds of pavements.
and on visiting the cities of Washing
ton, Baltimore, Norfolk and Richmond,
on that trip and later on visited Phila.
delphia, New York, Boston, Cincinnati,
Chicago, st. Joseph, Kansas City, At
lanta, Charleston and dozens of smaller
cities. am thoroughly satisfied that
OF all known systems of paving road
ways asphalt is least to be desired in
Roanoke. t is quite impossible fo-
horses to get footing on it on any kind
OF grade in cold weather. 1t is ono of
the most expensive of all kinds of paw
ing and one of tho hardest to keen in
repair.
Columbus, Ohio, had to remove it
from High and Broad streets, finding it
so expensive and difficult to keep in re-
pair. L acquired most of my informa-
ton from official sources and was ad-
Vlsed against it by one who is connected
with one of the largest asphalt paving
companies in the business, and he as
sured me that it was not suited to our
wants in Roanoke. l appreciate the
honesty and candor of the gentleman,
but will not call his name without his
consent.
Another pavement we don't want in
Roanoke is granite block. 1t has many
serious objections and while it is better
in some ways than asphalt it is not so
good in others. The best pavement
that found anywhere up to this time
can be built for about one third the
cost of either asphalt or granite. will
give twice the satisfaction of either and
can be manufactured within the CITY
limits of Roanoke and will be mentioned
later. While looking up the paving
question it was in the interest of some
prominent Roanokers. Yours truly,

A Living Dynamo.

A correspondent in New London,

George Rood, Of Westerly, r. l., was
struck by lightning, and after recovering
consciousness it was found that his body
was full of electricity. He is now able
to sit up, but his body is 80 highly charged
with electric fluid that when he puts his
hands within a certain distance Of each
other sparks will jump from one to the
other with loud, cracking noise, and
when the hands touch they can be sep
arated only by the most violent rubbing.
His feet are in the same condition, and
he has to be careful to keep them apart.
A person touching him receives slight
shock, and if he touches a watch he mag
netizesit completely. Many people visit
him to witness the curious manifestation
of electricity's wonderful power.
