WILL CELEBRATE NATIONAL ROAD
Movement Started in Indiana and
Prominent Lady is Promoter.

A movement for national Gel
bration in honor of the historic
National Road has been started
and announcement concerning the
plans has been received by Post
master w. w. Greene, of Union
town, Pa, from Mrs. Ella Hart
wig HALEY, of Indianapolis, Ind,
who says that Governor Thomas
Marshall, of Indiana has been pc
titioned to lend his assistance.
She says also:
I'VE have written letters to
some of the firms in Uniontown
and elsewhere whose names are
given in Searight's History of
the Old Pike" but on account of
many deaths ard change OF ad-
dresses we are finding it hard to
get in communication with the old
patrons of the road. We will
therefore be grateful to you or any
other person who can assist US in
IN hndlng the proper persons, as
we hope to have delegates repre-
senting every mile of the road.
"On account of the Hudson Full
ton celebration in New York in
September our celebration will
probably not take place until 1910
and even if deferred until next
year there is vast amount of work
for the entire intervening period.
1T may interest many people
IN your city to learn of this move
ment and with that in mind l am
advised as a promoter to invite
your cooperation. As l was born
on the line of the road in Illinois
and have loved the great high
way all my life, l need not tell
Of my great interest in the present
movement.
Mrs. HALEY is an author, lee
turer, traveller, and editor of the
National Missionary. She is also
the founder and president of the
Hartwig HALEY Assembly for Aged
People which is accessible to re-
spectacle aged or incurables of
either sex from any state in the
union, and in the last 10 years
nearly 400 have been cared for.

with crushed stone eight inches
thick, cost from So, 900 to $40, 900
per mile. Now it has been found
that three or four inches will do
quite we'll, and the cost is cut
squarely in two. In some parts
of the central states, where crush
ed stone is rare, it has been found
that the very clay which makes
the roads almost impossible is the
best matchmaking material when
burned. In yet other regions the
farmers have discovered how to
make good roads by the simple
of rolling or dragging them af-
ter each rain. and yet in other
places a mixture of sand and clay,
costing $500 or $500 a mile, is
found almost as good as the best
macadam.
1t is we'll that the roadmaking
materials are abundant and varied.
for there are roads enough in the
United States to reach eighty-six
times around the earth at the
equator, and nearly all those are
bad. The advocate of good high
ways will find ample room for
their missionary enterprises for a
generation to come.

HER ANCESTOR WAS
WITH GENERAL BRADDOCK
Inmate OF County Home is Great
Granddaughter Of los. Fausett.

1t. is not generally known that
one of the inmates of our county
home is Miss Rebecca Fausett
who is now over SO years Of age.
Miss Fausett is a great-grand
daughter of Joseph Fausett who
served under General BraddoCk
and was in the disastrous defeat
Of July g, I775. 1t will be remem-
bered that General Braddock
knocked down several of the prov
incial troops for freeing in that en-
gagement and demanded that they
stand out in the open and fight in
true English style, thus showing
his ignorance of Indian warfare,
When Tom Fausett saw the en-
ragged general strike down his
brother for no other offense than
fighting in the only successful way
against the Indian and the terrible
slaughter of the poor Virginia
Blues, " as he termed the provin-
Gals, he fired the shot that stop
ped the battle and saved what was
saved OF Braddock' s army, and the
immortal Washington to the fu-
ture service of his country.
Aunt RebeCCa Fausett, as she
IS Familiarity called, spent all her
former life in our mountains and
has been a hard worker all these
years, and for much of her service
she has received no compensation.
Its very affecting to hear her re-
late how she has toiled all her life
and at last must spend her declin-
ing days as an object of charity.
She complains most piteously, as
tears course their way down her
turrowed cheeks, of being COM
PEELED to spend her days away from
the scenes she loves so we'll in our
beautiful mountains.
She speaks in the highest terms
OF the treatment she receives at
the county home, Stewart Dean
and his excellent wife are doing
all within their power to make her
comfortable, but her longing for
the scenes Of her early life and the
thought of being obliged to live
at the county home as an object
of charity, show spirit deserving
of better fate.
She has a small fund laid bv
sufficient to secure her a respect
able burial, and it would be
most COmmendable act if a few of
our citizens who have ample
means would see that she be Sc
cured a comfortable home with
some worthy mountain family near
the scenes Of her former life where
she might spend her declining
days in comfort and contentment.

BALLINGER COMING,
TO CONTINUE FIGHT
Read Pierce and Den

Sees Them.

Secretary Of the Interior Ballinger.
who is hUrrying back 10 washington
from Seattle. is expected to reach here
Friday morning.
It is expected Mr.. Bailinger VIII re-
main here a short time to dispose of ini-
portant business. and then hasten 10
Beverly to see the President.
one Of the first things Mr.. B~alIinger
will take up here viii be the reports of
Assistant Secretary Pierce, Commits
sioner OF the General Land Office Den
nett. and other officials OF the Interior
Department. prepared IN reply TO the
CLAWS charges. II is understood that
Mr.. BaIlinEer will look over these re-
ports before they are transmitted to the
President.
II is expected that after the arrival
Of Mr.. BaIlinger things will move rapid
" in the Pihchot-BaIlinger controversy.
No longer is there any c-oncealment
made OF the fact the President is
thoroughly interested In the controversy
and is proceeding with a determination
to get at the bottom Oft. In spite Of
all the talk Of an adjustment Of the
controversy, it is generally felt here
that it will be impossible 10 settle It
without shaking up either the Interior
Department en- the one hand or the For
est Service and the Reclamation Serv-
ice on the other. The bomb which was
exploded by Assistant Secretary Ormsby
McHarg, of the Department of Com
merce and Labor, when he came out in
an attack on the conservation policies
as they are now carried OFT, has added
much TO the intensity of the whole situ-
alton.
The early return of Secretary BalIine-
er 20 Washington is a surprise. 1t is
looked on as the outcome OF the row
between Mr. Bdllnger and MIR. PinchOt
and their p~artisans- Even the officials
Of the Interior Department were sur
prtsed when they learned Mr.. BaIIinE-
er was to return. They had expected
him to remain # the West for some
weeks and to go the rounds with the
President.
SO far as known mere. there has been
no change in the plans whereby Mr..
BalIinger will accompany Mr.. Taft on
a part Of his Western trip. 1t is sup
pOssed the Secretary of the Interior
will be able to vino up such urgent
cuisines as he has at the Interior De-
partment before the President goes
West.
