THE building of a permanent graveled roadway from east to west and north to south thro' Monroe county would enhance the real market value of the prosperity of the county more than $250, 0G0 and do it RIGHT NOW, as soon as such road could be completed. The cost of the road would not exceed this amount and the time of paying it would extend over 20 years. With as fine and long headed set of business men as there are in t he county it does look like a commission could be selected to put such a project thro' and that their service would be FREE to the people. How about it Holly Grove and Clarendon?

Danville, Va, June IF, TO. EDITOR ARGUS:
 am spending tonight i'll Dan- vile, Va, town of some fifteen thousand people just over the line from the Tar Hill State, and am concluding four weeks trip in this section. During this time II have visited Charlottesville, Stant ton, Lexington, Lynchburg, Bedford, Roanoke, Blacksburg, Christiansburg, Martinsvllle, Danyille, and a few other small CT places. These points are in the central portion of the state running north, east and west.

 The University of Virginia, reputed to have been founded by a man known as Jefferson, is To- cated here. Something near a thousand young men are in the various departments of this in- stitution, and l could but feel for tael Secretary of the Y. NJ. c. A. as I thought of the problem before him in seeking to reach the moral and religious side Of these boys. Monticello, where lies the Jefferson of American history, is near by, but 1 did not have time to visit there.
 At Lexington 1 visited the grave of Gen. Robt. E. Lee, and also that of StoneWall Anderson. Jackson lies buried in the village cemetery, but the body of Lee, with those of his family, are pre- served in vaults just to the rear of the old chapel of Washington and Lee University. Within the chapel is Lees statue, represent ing him in death. It is life size and life like. The expression is one of peace, the eyes are closed as if asleep, and calmness seems to reign in the life of the man. As one looks upon it, the great ness of the character of the man looms resplendently before the vision, and one thanks God for his life.
 Hon. George R. Vending, possibly the greatest of lecturers on historical subjects, says in his lecture on Lee, that we love him because he represents in his life our ideals. think MT. Wend- ling is correct, for Lee was in his life the ideal of Southern manhood.
 Lynchburg is a shoe center,
The Brinkley argus., 1910-07-01

Lynchbarg is city of many hiiis and many 'niggers", and IS alive with the spirit of modern progress. But aside from ls show manufacturing industries, it is a place of much culture and wealth, and is appreciatlve of the higher things of life.
 Roanoke is the center of the Norfolk and Western 4-i.iiFfs,y system (and of the best up here) and has obtained it's growth dur ing the past thirty years. It is by far the most progressive town I have visited in this state, and lis destined to become great in ] trial and commercial center. l. was here that I got a glimpse !of my old friend Deavours- Rome Deavours- who is travel ing in this state for the health of other folks. He is selling drugs for Louisville firm, and was brave enough to tell me confi- dentially that the medicine he sells either cures or kills. But Rome was always such a liar I couldn't believe his statement It was always a race between | Deayours and Bob Hooker to see which could tell the biggest lie, and in the early morning before Gazzola, for whom Deavours cletked, and the other bosses" [ got down, it was a contest be- tween Bob Hooker, Charlie La Belle and Deavours to see which one could throw the most pota- toes at Dick Hankins and each other. Fortunately for Will Sims, for whom 1 worked, he didn't handle potatoes, but the way l used hair oil was a sight.
 From Roanoke to Blacksburg, a distance of approximately thirty-two miles, there is an in creased elevation of fifteen hun dred feet, and it requires a full head of steam, and frequently double header, to climb this grade. As we crossed the Ale gaaney Mountains in a hand somely furnished car oa rails of steel, I could but think of Bishop Ashbury crossing and re-cross- ing this same mountain, endan- gering his life to the swollen streams and sullen Indians, in the early days of our country in an effort to comfort and cheer with the gospel our ancestors.
 But this is already too long. At some other time l will finish it. Sincerely Yours,
 SOLON H. BRYAN.
