THE GREAT ROAD MEETING.

If Thursdays meeting at SpotSyl-
vania c. H., and the great enthusi-
asm there expressed for good roads
is an indication of the result of the
coming election, then the county is
gong to vote overwhelmingly for
the bond issue. The Richmond
Times-Dispatch says it was the finest
meeting held in the State since the
inception of the good roads move
ment and its special correspondent
thinks the result is assured. Com
menting editorially The Tmes-Dis-
patch, which has done much to ad
vance the movement, says:
Yesterdays good roads meeting at
Spotsylvania Court House was an
evidence of the deep interest Vir-
ginia people are now taking in this
great movement. When 700 voters
travel over rough roads on a raw 0c-
tober day TO listen to arguments in
favor of district bond issues. it is
plain that good roads command more
than a passing interest from them.
1t is also significant that the general
opinion in Spotsylvania in favor of a
bond issue is the result of careful
consideration rather than of sudden
enthusiasm for an attractive subject.
When the Spotsylyania spirit has
spread throughout the State, con-
sistent and permanent bodybuilding
is in sight. When each county real
ICES its responsibility and seizeS its
opportunity, it will not be long be-
fore improved highways will net
work the State.
If, after what is plainly expected
of Spotsylvania county and her in
terest in the matter has been so
widely and favorably advertised. she
should vote down the bond issue it
will be a sad day for the county and
viii mark a step backward, which
she will be a long time in recovering
from. She has been held out to the
State as progressive county, whose
people are determined to take the
lead in this roads movement. 1t
will never do in the world to now
advertise the county as lacking the
nerve to take this lead. Let the
bond issue receive as nearly an unan-
imous vote as possible.

THE BASEBALL SERIES.

This year the fight between the
premier teams of the two leagues
has been decidedly interesting and
has attracted widespread interest as
evidenced by the remarkable crowds
both in Pittsburg and Detroit. That
baseball has an ever tightening hold
on the people of this country has
been demonstrated by these games,
which have netted remarkable sum
of money to be distributed between
the club owners and players. In adj
dition to the crowds which have
watched the worlds series. large
crowds have also attended the post
season games between the Chicago
teams of the two leagues and the
Boston Americans and New York
Nationals. The popularity Of the
sport in measure grows out of the
fact that the people believe the game
Is honest and on the square.
