the order OF six are expected at

week.
The cars are Of the latest type
and fitted with every modern
Improvement and convenience
for the public and help on the
car. Electricity plays a large
part in the new cars, being
used for many purposes, from
sounding call bells TO cooking.
When the Winston South
bound Is completed a fast train
service between Columbus and
Charleston and other southern
points will be established. The
train will be a solid vestibule
with dining cars and other
comforts Of travel. The train
will be operated by the Norfolk

points.
Changes in the present Sched

will bring a fast train service

TERMS TOO SHORT

The biennial report of the
Department of Public Instruc-
tion, which will soon be distrib
uted, shows that the average
length of the school term in
Virginia is only six and one
half months. AS compared with
other Southern States this is a
good showing; but we are far
behind the States of other sec
tions. a child in order TO make
satisfactory progress should at
tend school at least eight
months of the year. The city
and town child have this oppor-
tunity, but the child who at
tends the one room country
school has no such good for
tune
Many Of our country schools
have Il term Of only five months.
When will the country hoy and
girl get as good a chance for an
education as the city child?
Certainly not until the school
term Is heightened. This will
mean, perhaps, an increase in
the school levy. The principle
you can't get something for
nothing" applies in education
as 10 does in all the affairs Of
life.
Another fact shown 10y the
report of the State Superintend-
ent is that the attendance in
the country Is very poor, aver
aging only about seventy per
cent The average for the cit
les and towns is about ninety
per cent. Many OF the larger
boys lose several weeks each
term because they are needed
on the farm. This may be neces
sary, but IL is very unfortunate
for the boy. His education is a
matter of great importance Let
us hope that ia the near future
crops may bee pitched and har-
vested without having 90 take
the boy away from his school.
While he is away his more for
tunate schoolmates leave him
far behind, and the time is fast
approaching when his chance
for an education will bc gone.

The following bit of advice
was given by Thomas Jefferson
TO young men: do not sit up
late at night; study and work
in the daytime. Rise early and
go To bed early. Avoid novel
reading and cultivate the com
partnership of good books. New
er tell lie or stoop To a mean
act. BE kind to every living
creature. Speak no evil of any
one. Be good, adore God, be
loyal to friends, and love your
country better than yourself.
Take hold of things by the
smooth handle; avoid disputes
do not turn pleasant converse
tiOn into heated argument. Too
much speaking is not best.
Never put off till tomorrow
what you can do today. Never
spend your money before you
have it. Never !buy what you
do not need because il is cheap
Pride costs more than hunger
thirst and cold. We never re-
pent of having eaten too little.
Never borrow trouble"

PROGRESSIVE WISE

Out i'm Wise county the good
roads sentiment is very strong.
If the action taken by a mass
meeting held at the county
capital few days ago is fairly
Indicative Of the general feeling
i'm the county. This action CON
templates the building OF more
than a hundred miles Of good
roads at a cost Of 500, 600.
There were several hundred
people in the mass meeting, and
they seem 20 have been thor
oughly imbued with the good
roads spirit, for the proposition
10 spend the sum mentioned, or
not TO exceed that sum, in the
construction of a system Of
roads was agreed 60 by "a unani-
nous vote. Complying with
the will OF the meeting, the
board Immediately petitioned
the court 20 order an election
TO be held on November %,
next, for "a vote on the bond is
sue. The court will order The
election. and for the next month
or two the lending advocates Of
road Improvement will work
vigorously and systematically
for the success of the prOpo-
siti0n.
IL is 60 be hoped that they
will win. Seven hundred thOus-
and dollars is a big pile Of mon
ey. but the roads Il will build
will bee worth IL many times
over and I'm many ways The
great advantage Of good roads
20 "a community has been 81
thoroughly demonstrated that
no considerable portion of the
people Of any community need
enlightment on the subject. or
question the wisdom Of i'm
proved highways. That eX
plains the rapidity with which
good roads sentiment has
spread over the country within
the last few years. and why IL
ls so strong in Wise county.
The other counties OF Virginia
will have TO take their hats of
Co Wise. n that county votes 90
spend 500. 200 on its roads.
which leaders OF the movement
seem certain it will do. Such a
system Of roads as that amount
Of money would build would
leave the people of Wise little
60 desire In that direction. The
county would be we'll covered
with modern highways. liz
would quickly take the lead in
the march Of progress. and its
example and experience would
give great impetus To the
good roads movement in this
section. Bristol Herald Cou

GOOD FOR WISE.

An encouraging impetus TO
the cause Of good roads in the
Commonwealth has been given
by the recent action of the peo-
pie of Wise county, who have
just put themselves on record
as favoring a seven hundred
thousand dollar bond issue for
construction OF better thorough
fares. a system Of roads will
bee macadamized throughout
the county. including a few
roads through the towns, max
ing a total length Of about one
hundred and twelve miles. The
best citizens are actively and
enthusiastically behind the
movement, and TO use a phrase
of the football coach, they will
make IL go"
The Big Stone Gap Post i'm
its account of the good roads
meeting at Wise Courthouse
last Monday, informs Us that a
committee was appointed to
make recommendations as 20
the necessary bond issue and as
90 the course 10 be pursued.
This committee, among other
things, urged that the bond is
sue for this purpose should
amount TO seven hundred thOus-
and dollars. "All IF the recon-
mendatiOns Of the committee
were put TO n rising vote" says
our contemporary, land the
several hundred people in. the
court house voted unanimously
for such recommendation 90
the Board Of Supervisors. The
Board of Supervisors imme-
diately after the meeting went
into session and petitioned the
court TO order an election as
outlined above, and the conrt
will enter such an order this
week
The unanimity shown by the
people Of Wise county in this
movement is as commendable
as il is unusual. That county
is 20 be congratulated on ITS
progressive people. for there
seem To have been no chronic
kickers and Instructors at the
meeting. none Of the too com
mon genus who argue against
the new and better order, say
ing My grandfather got along
without it, my father did, and I
guess l can, too.
Between the lines Of the story
Of what they did on Monday al
Wise Courthouse IL is easy q
read that the people there are
pulling together for the welfare
of their county, and that they
are going after good roads in a
clean.cut, business-ike, aggres-
sive way. Wise is not the
wealthiest county in the State,
by any means, but the spirit of
real progress dwells there.
