The Greenvllle Road.

The Greenville road is progressing.
The contractors have begun to put on
stone and roll it down. This part OF
the work began at the city limits at
the home of Mr.. Jno d. Rodgers and
has gone some thing near quarter OF
a mile. The quarry opened in the field
of Messrs Gay near the residence OF
Mr.. John Rutherford has proved dis
appointing. 1t has not the quantity
of stone expected, and for every yard
of stone gotten yard of earth has to
be moved. There seems to be no other
good quarry near, and this may cause
the contractors to go out toward Folly
Mills for stone. Should this be the
case it will add an unexpected ex-
pense. On inquiry assurances have
been given that the profile of this
road will correspond with the best of
the Churchville road, and that no
unsightly points will remain. Mr..
John Crosby has kindly proffered all
information regarding surveys profiles
specifications etc, and it is confidently
asserted that the road when finished
will be a credit to all concerned. The
wet weather of the last ten days has
retarded grading but quarrying has
gone on with energy.

Roosevelt the Bo SIS.

The big feature of the Hughes nomi-
nation to the supreme court, according
to statesmen and politicians who call
ed at the White House yesterday is
that it will make ex-President Roose-
welt the undisputed dictator and di-
rector of the political fortunes of the
Republican party in New York this
year.
The responsibility for Republican
success will be his, and his only. At
the same time it puts him in the same
political boat with President Taft, not
only in New York, but elsewhere.
Had Governor Hughes continued a
factor in Republican affairs in the
Empire State clashes between him and
the ex-President in the conduct of the
coming campaign were inevitable.
The two men have never liked each
other personally. They have managed
to remain political bedfellows, but
their plans have always crossed.

DEATHS DURING THE WEEK,
A. A. sPROUL.

The death of Archibald Alexander
Sproul which occurred in this city at
the Kings Daughters Hospital at
80 p. m. Tuesday after an illness OF
only about one week, was one Of pc
culiar sadness. He was in the vigor
of youthful manhood and seeming
health when in Charlottesville last
week he became ill. He came to
STAUNTON and went to the King
Daughters Hospital where he had every
attention and the best of medical care,
but he had developed pneumonia, ty-
phoid in character, and in virulent
form, and after few days of hopeful
ness his physicians began to be alarm
ed, and his friends began to lose hope.
It was not until yesterday however
that hope was abandoned.
Mr.. Sproul was son Of the late
Archibald Alexander Sproul after
whom he was named, and Eugenia E.
(Bumgardner) Sproul, and was born on
his fathers farm near Middlebrook in
this county AZ years ago. He gradual
ed at Washington Lee University in
1889, with the degrees of A. B. and G.
E. and was member of the Delta
Psi Fraternity.
In 1890 he was associated with Prof.
Humphries in making the surveys OF
Basic: City and Shendnon. Later he
was an assistant in the Surveyor
Generals office of Baltimore City, a
position of great Importance. He was
afterward in the Office of the City En-
gineer of New York city, and since
the construction Of subways began has
at times been in charge of that work
in part He was assisting in the great
engineering work of building the
aqueduct for the new supply of water
to New York city and had only come
home on a visit.
His untimely death cast a gloom
over the community which was pre-
valent everywhere during the day
yesterday, after it became known that
he was in extremis He is survived
by a wife who was Miss Mary Cation
of N. Y. City, son A. A. Jr., and
three brothers Jno. A., of Clifton
Forge, VIM. w., of Middlebrook and
Hugh B. of STAUNTON, and one sis
ter Miss Francis of Clifton Forge.
