While we we're operating the big road

There are many fine opportunities in the
south for active, progressive, western men
and the next decade will show a wonderful
transformation in this section of the cOun>
try. Our train was heartily welcomed by
the people and our work generously COM
mended. The writer was delightfully."-
pleased with the people Of the south and
the cordial and hearty reception invariably
accorded. Among the special occasions to
be remembered was the Sunday spent at
the lovely old Virginia mansion owned by
Lieutenant Charles p. Shaw. President w.
II. Moore, Senator Martin Dodge and my
self were most c%harmingly entertained and
attended Easter service at one of the beau
tiful old Episcopal churches nestled in the
Virginia hills among the majestic oaks and
the slender pines.
How sweet the hour of Sabbath talk,
The vale with peace and sunshine full
Where all the happy people walk,
DeCked in their home-Spun flax and

And every maid. with simple art,
Wears on her breast, like her own heart
A bud whose depths are all perfume;
While every garments gentle stir
Is breathing rose and lavender.

were most enthusiastically received. At the
conclusion of about a two-hours session.
the party was conducted over the section
of the new road in course of construction
and out to Monticello, where a reception
was rendered by Hon. Jefferson Monroe
Levy. the present owner of Jefferson's old
home.
On the following day a second special
train from Washington carried Senator
Mark A. Hanna, eX-Secretary Of the In
terror Cornelius n. Bliss and many mem

Hermann, COMMISSIONS of the general land
office, and by the following representatives
in congress: Hon. Thomas II. Tongue, Ore
gOni Hon. Charles f. Littlefeld, Maine;
Hon. r. w. Davis, Florida. The feature Of
the day was the introduction of Senator
Hanna. The Virginians gave him an en-
thusiastic reception, which amounted to an
ovation when they found that his grand
father came from Virginia. The senator
spoke in his most happy vein.

Eject of the Campaign.
The campaign of the good roads train
created marked interest in the subject of
good roads and industrial development in
The southern states. The last decade has
shown most marvellous progress in the lat
ter interest and the southland is being
transformed. The old southern methods,
manners and customs are rapidly passing
away and the spirit of modern improve
ment is taking possession of the people,

- left Alexandria, Va, Tuesday.
October 20, 1901, for a tour of the southern
states on the line of tn Southern system,
in the interest of common road improve
ment.
This novel and attractive movement for
arousing attention, promoting action and
interest for the construction of improved
highways in the United States, was origi-
mated and inaugurated by the National
Good Roads association. The plan CO.
operates the government division for good
roads, the railway system over which the
train is operated. road machinery manu-
faCturers, and state and local interests in
carrying on the work. Representatives OF
the national association visit central points
from which the greatest influence may
TadiatC, and arrange for a weeks stop of
the train. The cooperation Of the local
interests is secured and dates fixed for
the holding Of a two or three days con
%vcntion, in which the most practical adj
dresses and discussions upon the subject
Of road Improvement are had. The neces-
sary machinery from the train Is unloaded
and under the direction of the engineers
and road and machinery experts in charge,
a section of object-lesson road is con
structed.
The train visited the states of North
Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia,
South Carolina and Virginia, making eight
cen stops at the following cities: Wins
ton Salem, Asheville and Raleigh, N. c.;
Greeneville and Chattanooga, Tenn; Biz
mingham, Mobile and Montgomery, Ala,
Atlanta. Columbus and Augusta, Ga;
Greenville, Columbi and Charleston, S. c.,
and Danville. Lynchburg, Richmond anil
Charlottesville Va. Sections OF modern
roads were constructed at each OF these
points. Conventions were held and ad
dressed by governors of states, members
Of congress, state legislators, government
road directors and experts, county super
visors. and most active interest aroused
upon the subject. District and state as
sociations were formed to carry on the
work so well inauguratcd in the several
states. Never before has the subject of
the Improvement OF the Common roads OF
the country commanded such widespread
and practical attention as at the present
time.
Jefferson Memorial Road.
The Jefferson Memorial Road association
Charlottesville Va, OF which General Fitz-
hugh Lee is president, conceived the com
mendable idea OF constructing a splendid
modern, macadamlzed memorial road con-
Meeting the University Of Virginia with
Monticello. the home and tomb OF the uni
versity's illustrious founder. Thomas JEFF
ferson. The old road was narrow. badly
cut up and washed, over steep and irreR.
ular grades, and 1t was thought that q
beautiful road leading to the historic nom,
Of the author Of the Declaration OF indie,
Omaha daily bee., 1902-04-20

pendence, would attract many visitors and
serve as a practical object lesson and in
ducement for better highways In the nation
and be a fitting and lasting memorial to
the great and benefcent Jefferson. The
National Good Roads association and the
office of road inquiries of the United States
government were requested to inaugurate
and promote this special work. The South
ern railway good roads train came to Char
lottesyille, Va. Monday morning, March
20, 1902, and its engineers and road ex-
perts commenced the construction of the
road. The memorial road meeting was held
In the armory in the city OF Charlottes-
Vile and opened its sessions on Wednes-
day morning, April 2. General Fitzhugh
Lee presided and after a welcome address
by the mayor Of the city, he introduced
Hon. w. II. Moore, president Of the Ma
tional Good Roads association, Hon. Martin
Dodge. director of the office of public road
Inquiries, United States government. and
General Roy Stone, eX-director Of the office
OF public roads inquiries, all of whom de-
livered eloquent and practical speeches on
the subject.

Our Great Stocks of Gold.

The gold in the Treasury showed
an increase of $6,600,000 during
the month of June, and on the last
day of the month stood at $559,-
302, ,051. This is new record and
far discounts the $515,000, 600
held in the Bank of France, the
next greatest gold stock in the
world. This steady accreation of
the precious metal in the United
States Treasury is paralleled by
the gain in the general circulation.
The last edition of the London
Statist is quoted as saying that
France is now disposed to make
American investments, being at
tracted by the magnificent prosper
ity of this country in comparison
with the heavy losses the great
French financial houses and poor
Jacques Bonhomme have sustained
in Russia, Turkey, Austria Hun
gary and elsewhere.

NEW FRANCHISE REFUSED
By Bourbon Fiscal Court For Blue
grass Traction Company.

BY a vote of four to three the
Bourbon Fiscal Court on July 18th
refused to grant the Bluegrass
Traction Company a new franchise
for building and operating an
electric line between Paris and
Lexington. The Traction people
submitted a proposition to build
the line within twelve months, but
the Fiscal Court insisted on com
pliance of the terms of the previ-
Gus grant, which called for the
building of the line from the Fay
cite county line to the Nicholas
county line through Paris and
Millersburg. The Traction people
claim that a line beyond Paris
would not pay. The franchise will
probably be disposed of to some
company willing to comply with its
provisions.

Judge Holt Says Porto Rico is a
Garden Spot.

"Porto Rico, says Judge W. H.
Holt, sis more populous than any
State in the Union-that is, by
comparison, and contains 100000
inhabitants, or 300 people to the
square mile. Massachusetts,, the
most densely populated State in
the Union, numbers but $50 per
sons to the square mile. The way
Porto Rico has become American
lied would surprise most people.
Electric car lines are running in
San Juan and Ponce. There is a
splendid opening for young Ameri-
cans who wish to locate ON the
island and go into permanent busi-
ness, and when we have fast line
of steamers carrying fruits and
vegetables to New York, wealth
will come to the island generally,
for Porto Rico produces two and
three crops of everything each
year"

KING EDWARD SHIPWRECKED
As Result of a Practical Joke Played by
Lord Beresford.

On one occasion, at Virginia Wa
ter, WITNESSED the shipwreck of King
Edward and about a score Of his
friends, including the commander of
the vessel, Capt. Welsh. 1t was in
the summer Of 1896, and happened
thus: In the middle of the lake
50-ton miniature frigate was moored.
This vessel was used as dining place
for those who preferred it, and the
then prince of Wales, with others,
took boats and boarded the vessel,
with the intention of having "good
time" with what resources they had
with them. These choice spirits very
soon were in the gilded saloons of
the vessel, and with laugh and song
and cards and good cigars were OBJ
livious Of those on shore, or on the
lake in boats. But the spirit of mis-
chief was aboard in the person Of
Lord "Charley" Beresford, and he
very soon made its influence felt.
The wind was blowing half gale as
his lordship quietly crept into a
dingey, and before he was seen by
the company on the frigate he had,
with hammer and chisel, cut the yes
sci loose from the buoy to which it
was moored In moment the buoy
ant wooden ship was going at great
rate before the wind, drifting ire
sistibly down the lake. Nothing
could stop her and no one could do
anything. She rocked and rolled, and
her crew, with shouts and impreca-
tions, vowed vengeance on Charley"
Beresford, who, meanwhile, sat in his
little boat holding on to the buoy,
looking calmly on and putting a Gig
arctic.
The shipwrecked crew could do
nothing. The vessel finally stranded
at a point inaccessible from the land,
and the crew were finally taken off
in boats-Albert Edward, of course,
among them, and by no means the
least demonstrative in his disgust at
tn, joke played upon him by his ir-
repressible friend and companion.
The latter disappeared in the direc-
tion of Windsor before the stranded
mariners could seek him. or there
would have been a ducking bee that
day. in which Lord Charles Beresford
would have been the hero.-John II.
Keene, in Field and Stream.
