A letter was read from G.. A. Saun

sum of $500 per mile of road for i'm

related that the road through these
counties was by far the shorter way

adding that the old Petersburg and
Boydton plank road could be convert

Mr. Saunders that with the 5000 raised

State aid, and with what the counties
will offer, the road can be speedily

route was the first question under con
sideration. When this point in the pro-
ceedings had been reached Mr.. Easley
addressed the members on the import
ance of building a road which would
be not only credit to the State, but
would save valuable time between
capital of the nation and the capital of
the Old Dominion. The merchants are
in earnest about this matter he
said. They want this road. The man
who wants to reach Washington or
Richmond wants to make the trip
quickly and safely. But aside from
the value of the road as a motor route,
1T is up to us to point out how valu-
able it will be to the people who live
along the line.

in the House, and vice President sher-
man, in the Senate, fall for the last
time before the Christmas holidays,
and the members of both bodies begin
their journeys homeward, they doubt
less will realize that though little Of
Importance has transpired here since
the session began on December o, that
the next two months-or until the end
comes on March twill be epoch-mak-
ing days The reason for such a state
ment is the fact that the Democratic
caucus to be held January 10 undoubt-
edly will settle in a way the question
of who is to be used as presidential
i timber two years hence. The caucus
will bring together not only the Dem
ocratic members who already are serv-
ing in Congress. but those who are to
begin their terms next December Will
gather with the older Legislators.
1t is settled belief. therefore. that
the opportunity will be seized upon
while so many Democrats are in ses-
sion together for the partys good
practically to pick the presidential ma.
terial for next time.
One thing has already been clearly
developed, and that is If the members
of the present Congress hope to pull
all the good Offices their way and Sc
| cure the best committee places too,
that they will incur the enmity of the
| new members who are to come In from
New York and other States, where the

been or will be succeeded by Demo
cratic ones In the House
| Members returning home will ponder
over the question of whether. after all
an extra session may not be neces

the belief that President Taft has givel
rush orders and that 1t is his hope t
have the regular appropriation bill
out of the way at the earliest moment
so that Ii an extra session Is calle,
its work may be completed just tina
much sooner. Ohio Democrats said to

road charged against the Old DOMINION
out of a total of ITO miles between
washington and Jacksonville.

the work will be done but how soon
can ii be done. The merchants are a

of Commerce is ready to give It's ald

club may begin. The people along the
line of the road are fully awakened 70
