struction of the A. and B.
 Roanoke, Oct. 24.--(Speciaf. )--Y es- terday marked an interesting epoch Tn the history of Roanoke and Randolph County. At 10 o'clock the first dirt was broken in Randolph County in the building of the Atlantic and Birming- ham Railroad. The event occurred two and a half miles southeast or Roanoke. and was attended with ap- propriate ceremonies. The people had assembled from the surrounding coun- try in large numbers, and a delegation of prominent men from Roanoke, ac- companied by number or iaoies' re- paired to the scene.
 Col. W. A. Handley addressed the crowd. and his remarks were received with enthusiasm. He prophesied great development for Roanoke and Randolph County in the near future consequent upon the building of this big trunk line. He was followed by Mayor John T. Hefin and ]. c, Wright, President of tbe Campbell and Wright Banking Company, who made happy addresses. The engineer and contractor in charge had invited Colonel Handley to throw the first shovelful of dirt on this road in the county. and this he did, follow ing the speaking. amid much enthusi- asm, It Is of interest to note Tn tnls connection that this distinguished citi- gen of Roanoke also shoveied the nrst dirt broken in the building of the Gen. tral of Georgia, which was the first railroad to penetrate Randolph County. This occurred nineteen years ago. The A and B. is the second road to enter the county. Work on this line, will now be pushed rapidly.

 SOME ADVICE TO BRIDGE PLAYERS
 The following advice to bridge play CTS is given in an exchange:
 "In the first place. silence must be maintained while the game is in pro- gress. Women especially are apt to be careless in this regard. usually be- cause thpy do not attempt to keep the run of. the various plays in their mind. It Is practically an impossibility to converse and still have a knowledge of the cards which have passed out in tricks.
 Secondly, make no attempt to cor rect the faults your partner may dis play in his or her method of play. This is extremely embarrassing not only to the one who may have made the mis- take. but to the other players at the table. Also there is no easier manner of beginning a dispute. which is a mark of unpardonable discourtesy to your hostess. Then, too, you may bel at fault in your criticism. thereby plac- ing yourself in an unfortunate light with any strange guests. There is al- ways a chance that the person with whom you are playing has a broader knowledge of the game than yourself.
 "Expert card players prefer that all questions as to which would have been the better play in this or that case, be reserved until the end of the game or rubber.
 "A mistake very common with the I amateur at cards is to remark, won- ! der who dealt this hand? or I've never | seen anything to equal this? Few per- sons, either men or women, have suiii- | cient control over the muscles of their
