Governor Tyler on Thursday grant.
ed pardon 10 James Mays, Of this
county, who was serving term Of FIVE
years for higAmy, having been sentens-
ed in 1897.
Mays and his first wife did not live
happily together, and the former insti-
suited proceedings for divorce. The
man was ignorant of the law. and
thought he had right to marry before
he was really divorced. He did so. and
got himself into trouble.
Mr.. David E. Moore, the former
Commonwealth Attorney, was his
counsel, and worked hard TO get him
free. 1t was evident that Mays did
not intend TO commit any crime, and
the Governor, believing he had been
sufficiently punished, set him free.

ROAD IMPROVEMENT.

The question of good roads il now
being discussed in various parts Of ths
State. Everywhere the need of bette,
roads is conclusively shown. The
present state Of our public highways
works a greater disadvantage to farmers
than any other Glars Of people. This
burd. can be lightened and should be.
McAdamized roads are expensive to
construct, but they are the cheapest in
the end. The reads in Roekbridgs are
worse this winter than they have been
for } ears, caused by continued rains
and SHOWS. Dirt roads will not last
and need constant repairs. Let the
people Of Rockbridge demand better
roads and better roads will be made.
On the subject of road improvement
the Farm Journal has this 10 say:
Nothing does more to content pso-
pie and attract strangers than roads
smooth and hard at all seasons. Peo-
pie must traverse therA without extra
watcAfulnegs or WEAKNESS 10 ENJOY

no obstiuclisns in hauling their loads
10 be contsntsd and remain at home,
instead of emigrating. We can not do
t all ut once, but let US do small part,
10 that it will be permanent rs o road
IAN be and then do little more az ne

popular sentiment will grow in favor Of

nd pleasant greeting will commence.

OBJECT LESSON FOR FILIPINOs
Thought To Be Why Dewey Wants
The Orsgon-Ths Big Ship Will
Impress The Natives With The
Power OF Our Navy.

| Washington, Feb. 25.--The dispatch
from Admiral Dewey speaking Of poli.i.
cal reasons for sending the Oregon to
Manila at once, is still the subject Of
general discussion here, butapparently
the administration is satisfied that il
understands exactly what the Admiral
meant when he used the term political
reasons" fos it was stated positively at
the Navy Department to-day that no
inquiry had been addressed 10 the Ad-
miral on The subject and that he would
not be called upon for further expla-
nation.
AN OBJECT LESSON.
This means that the Interpretation
placed upon the phase BY the admins
tration is exactly that conveyed by
'ecretary Long, that the big ship is
considered necessary to impress The
FL pinos, MT only those Of Lusone,
ut those OF other islands, with the
ov' nv helming power of the United
States navy. for it is said ct the Depart
n emf tat in the dense ignorance in
which these people live they can be i'm
pressed only by personal observation.
The published statement that Admiral
Dewey's dispatch on this subject came
in open English is an error. The De-
psrtmsnt received from him two dis.
patches yesterday, the second oae 70
laIing to the ARRIVAL OF tho Yorktown
in plain English anu tho other relating
to the Oregon which "a. in the navy

Secretary Long and Was permitted to |
reach the press along with the other
routine dispatch.
Admiral Dewey informed the Navy
Department to-day that he had sent the
yunboat Petrol from Manila to Csbu.
1t is the purpose of the Admiral to
establish the sovereignty Of the United
States at the capital Of the island which
