Dear Sir: Your letter addressed to
MIR. J. +. Pennybacker. Jr, has been
brought To my attention.
The purpose of our recent investiga-
ton of road conditions in SpotsyIvania
county was TO secure not only complete
information concerning the construc-
ton, maintenance and administration
.ot the roads. and the various steps
I"Aeu Win reference 10 financing the
work, but to study as well the economic
features, such as the effect of road inn
provement on land values, cost of haul
ing, character of products. school at
tendance and general welfare.
Our procedure i'm detail, as YOU are
already no doubt aware, was to obtain
exact acreage value along the line of
the road proposed to be improved. to
ascertain the size and character of
loads, length of haul. wages for men
and teams, the school attendance. etc.
as well as a complete series of photo
graphs before the road Improvement
was undertaken.
A second investigation, similar to the
hrst, Will be made after the roads have
been completed. and second series of
photographs will be taken at that time.
Ihls, as you will readily see. will give
us comparative data on all the points
above named.
We have made similar studies in sev-
eral other counties. and il is our pur-
pose to include i'm all about ten or
twelve counties in various sections of
the United States
The results will Toe published in the
form OF bulletin, which will-no doubt
have wide distribution.
incidentally. the counties which make
good final showing in this investiga-
ton Will be considerably benefited hv
the publicity which they will obtain in
this way. as IT will direct the attention
OF people in all parts of the country to
them. Very respectfuUv

HARMON AND GORDON
IS NOW THE TALK
Name of Bryan Does Not Figure
in Calculations of the Demo-
cratic Leaders.

WASHINGTON. March 6.-For presi-
dent, Judge Harmon OF Ohio; for vice
president. Colonel James Gordon OF Mis-
sissippi.
That is the latest Democratic ticket for
1912 evolved by the national leaders in
the Democratic party.
While IL eliminates Mayor William j.
Gaynor OF New York as a presidential
possibility those who have advanced the
Harmon Gordon ticket feel that II is the
strongest one which could possibly be
devised.
Governor Harmon is looked upon as a
trusted servant who could command both
Democratic and Republican votes, while
Colonel Gordon Is the gentle conciliator
OF the south and north. The short term
of the Msslssipan In the United States
senate placed him in a unique position.
His quaint philosophy, wisdom and gen
tleness caused him 10 be admired and re-
spected far and near.
IT IS believed that Harmon and Cor
don would win from the Republicans, the
lukewarm Democrats in the south who
were swung away from their party by
Taft.
So far in the calculations the name OF
William Jennings Bryan has played no
part.
