THE GLASGOW LETTER

The Hon. William A. Jones has
recently been reading other letters
in connection with his campaign for
the United States Senate in Oppo-
sitiOn to Senator Thomas S. Martin.
These last letters are from Mr..
Martin to Mr. William A. Glasgow,
Jr, who is we'll known 10 our
people. In consequence of one OF
these letters in particular Mr.. Jones
argues that Mr. Martin is not tit to
represent Virginia in the United
States Senate.
The Gazette does not feel the ne
cessity Of expressing the opinion
that any letter passing between
Senator Martin and one Of our own
Glasgows would be tainted with
moral wrong, and renders either one
of them unfit for high official posi-
ton.
A letter was read by Hon. H. D.
Flood at Fredericksburg from Mr..
Jones showing that he knew money
was being used in his district, and
even a negro politician received the
attention and consideration of Mr..
Jones in the use of money.
In view OF this, it would appear
that Mr. Jones action is hypocrit-
ical and skillful attempt to mislead
voters.

What | want my friends and all
the best people of this town and
county to remember is this fact,
when you buy goods of me you get
the best | CAN BUY; nothing is made
or grows TOO GOOD for me to sell; it
must be the best or | don't want it
at any price.
Everybody knows my Bananas
are the best, the great big golden
kind, not Bananas that have been
in some dirty old commission house
absorbing all kinds of microbes
from filthy chicken cOops and egg
crates; my Bananas come direct by
steamer and railroad from the West
India Islands, where they grow,
never having been handled except
just enough to get them off the
steamer and on the freight train.
If you like me l am glad. If you
don't | am sorry, but remember it's

the purest, cleanest goods you can

lowing the decision of the Supreme
court last Monday reversing the lower
court ruling in the case Of Claiborne
county VS.. R. A. Owen. ct al, the
board Of supervisors has instructed
its county attorney to bring action
for damages and all costs of action.
amounting to about $4,000,
The litigation is based on an in
junction suit filed by citizens to pre-
vent the county from enforcing the
collection Of road taxes past due.
Chancellor Hicks rendered a decis-
ion in favor of the compartments, but
this was reversed by the Suprem,
court. The latter court held that the
effort to invoke the jurisdiction OF
equity to enjoin criminal proceedings
in such instances as this could not be
sustained.

The average daily supply of beef is es-
timated at 800 pounds No estimate is
made on the quantity of chewing to-
bacco and ice as that will be deter
mined by the splitting abilities of the
inmates and the degree of heat during
the next twelve months.

The American Society of Automo-
bile Engineers, making tour of Eu-
rope, left for France after spending
several weeks inspecting the methods
and plants of English motor car max
ers.
The delegates were the guests here
of the Institute of Automobile Engi-
neers. The Americans arrived just in
time for the opening Of the motor
SHOW at Olympia and they were given
q splendid opportunity OF comparinl
the various English ana foreign cars.
AS a result Of the visit and the
show the talk of the invasion of Amer
lean automobiles continues. Only Il
/ few American cars were on exhibition
al Olympia, but these attracted much
attention. English motor car build
ers have learned with amazemeut
that one American factory this year
will turn out almost as many cars as
/ will be made in he whole of Eng
land. This tremendous production
coupled with the standardizing of the
American cars is causing genuine con
Germ among British dealers, who must
make radical changes in their meth
DDS if they hope to stem the tide OF
invasion. They must make a cheaper
cor and Euat torn our a cheaper ear
AID must turn out their present cars
fully equipped. With few exceptions
the English makers supply only the
chassis and engine and the ucVildered
buyers must choose body tires and
aI the other accessories which max,
rp tine complete err.

EUROPE GREATLY INTERESTED
IN The PANAMA CANAL

to save one million dollars annually
by the extension of the system. The
iron road, so called because the
process of making and the materials
used renders its surface practically
impervious, extends for distance of
three and One-half miles.
IN l9oG-07 before any portion of the
iron road was laid, l4,1S9 tons of grit
and refuse was removed from the pub
lie ways. The quantity removed in
191O-l91l was 9.O3S tons. and there
was a saving on the carriage and dis
posal of the sweepings of $4,000. Com
posed chiefly of the structure of the
road. each ton so displaced had to be
replaced by new material at a cost
moderately estimated at E2,50O a
year. At this rate it is calculated
that the saving in scavenging on roads
made on the Fulham plan would
amount to not less than one million
n.ns q year.
THE saving is figured not alone in
money, but in lives, for the death sta
tistics show a remarkable decline in
the district of the iron" road. IN
