LYNCHBURG. VA. September 81.
That all elections of city officials
on September l by the city council
were illegal was the gist of an opinion
rendered to-day by City Attorney Man
son. According to his own opinion
he too was illegally elected although
serving on a hold-over provision under
the old constitution,
The elections cave in one instance
where there were two candidates were
not by vfve voce vote as expressly
provided by the constitution OF the
State but by consent. The consent"
provision exists in the city charter
but is superseded in the opinion Of
the city attorney by the constitution.
A hot meeting is promised as the
result of the decision. The opinion
was rendered at the request Of Ccun-
Gilman John p. PettyJohn and Is ad-
dressed to him personally. 1t ia be-
lieved that the bringing up of the
matter il the result OF the row that
was started by the election of c. f.
Goodman to a police commissionership
and 1t was stated to-day that the
latest move is but another effort to
have Mr.. Goodman removed from

Perhaps the most important econo-
mic phase of the automobile is it's in
fiuence for good roads. The auto
mobilist demands good roads, and
bends ali mis- energies toward getting
them. The man who buys an auto for
the first time in his life perhaps be-
gins to take an interest in this sub
ject. The results in other States have
been remarkable, and it is believed
the same results will be obtained here
as the number of machines increase.
The good roads Of course are valua-
bic not only to the autoists, but to the
farmers, and to the communities in
general. Good roads develop trade,
improve farms, extend suburbs, in
crease truck farming and poultry
farming, in a marvellous manner.
