Duval county.
The rules regulating the representation.
officially, allows one delegate at large,
the county commissioners and vice presi-
dent from each municipality in the coun-
ty. There were present at the meeting
today many citizens from the various
counties who are not entitled to voice
In the convention, but were there to
pledge their support for the early COM
pletion of the national highway extern
sion.
Owing to a state good roads conven-
ton in Tallahassee the majority of the
Florida counties had to send proxies.
Some of these were delegated to Presi-
dent Tiff, others to Secretary Layton,
and many other pledges were made by
telegraph and telephone. D. H. Mcmillan
wired that it was impossible to have a
delegation present from Duval on account
OF the Tallahassee meeting, but pledged
the support of Duval county in the COM
pletion of the road through Baker coun-
ty, should that county need their as
sistance. H. S. Richardson, secretary
Jacksonville Board Of Trade, wired re-
grets that that organization would be
unable to have a representative present,
but assured the convention of their read
mess to cooperate and assist in any
possible way the further work of the
highway.
A resolution creating a treasury was
adopted as follows:
Whereas, the work of this association
will necessitate the expenditure of some
funds for postage, stationery, telephone
and telegraph, travelling expenses and
other incidentals in pursuance of the
work outlined by this association; be it

pears most expedient to him and that

dent at the earliest possible time to be
disbursed by said president as the board

1t was decided to have on the board
of control two representatives between
Macon and the Florida line, one from
Florida and one on the division between
Atlanta and Macon. Those elected on this
board were DIR. q. G. Mckenzie, of Ash

S76 miles of the national highway between
Atlanta and Jacksonville, delegates to
the convention of the Central Highway
association, Journal Herald national high
way, representing the intervening coun-
ties in Georgia and Florida, in session
here yesterday, reaff1rmed former obliga-
tions to construct and maintain the high

lanta-Jacksonville division; delegated to
the Organization the authority to super
wise methods of construction; created a
treasury fund for expenses of the general
office; adopted measures for auxiliary or
CARNATIONS in each county with the OBJ
ject of enlivening good roads sentiment,
and passing unanimous votes Of thanks
to the New York Herald and Atlanta
Journal for the selection of the Triton
Valdosta route, and to President HI. H.
Tiff for his untiring efforts in securing
the activity of each county These, In
part were results of the convention. y
The Atlanta Jacksonville division of the
highway traverses 13 counties in Geor-
gia, south of Atlanta, and five counties
in Florida easterly to Jacksonville
counties in all. AS the association is or
ganized, each county sends delegation
consisting Of one delegate at large, the
county commissioners, and a vice presi-
dent from each municipality of the coun-
ty.
At the convention President Tiff called
for report of the progress Of the work
in each county and in every case 1t was
shown that there is no disposition to lag;
that there exists in each county increas-
ed enthusiasm and deeper determination
for perfect roads than at any previous
time in the present crusade. The reports
show the sentiment of the people along
the entire route to be unalterably in favor
of not only of the main highway, but are
insisting on radiating lateral roads in
every county. One county. Tiff, announc-
that 1t will plant shade trees on both
sides along it's entire section of the high
way. This announcement met with pop
ular approval and IT is probable that all
other counties will adopt the same plan

years before had witnessed the epochal
raid of old John Brown, lay as still as

THE SKY ALIGHT.
AS the night deepened an alert watch
was kept by the men on guard at Har-
pers Ferry The heights about were
shrouded in black shadow, but there was
reason to suppose that along the road
converging on the ferry the Virginia
forces were hourly coming nearer.
Such was the fact. Cavalry, artillery
and infantry were marching along the
dark country roads-S,000 had beep or
dered out-and about $50 men were
then between the. ferry and Halltown,
four miles away.
Shortly before 10 o'clock this van
guard came in contact with the sentries
posted outside the village. There was
a challenge, short and sharp, a halt
and a consultation between the Vir-
ginia officers.
A painting messenger rushed down
the road to the village, and reported to
Lieutenant Jones that the Virginians
were only a mile away. Instantly the
order was given to fire the buildings
The torch was applied and soon rush
and roar of flame told that the powder
had done its work.
BY the glare of the fire the little
company of regulars-except four who
tarried on duty too long-fled across
the Potomac covered bridge, and into
a mountain road; while the leaders Of
the Virginians rode into the town where
$4,000 stands of arms were being de-
stroyed in the glowing furnaces of ar
morY and arsenal.
All night the fire burned, throwing
against the dark sky glow that lit up
the surrounding mountains. The Vir-
ginia troops still coming UP could see
1t for hours as they trudged on.
The arsenal and armory were com
pletely destroyed, but some of the arms
and the large workshops, containing
much machinery of great value to the
Confederacy, were saved, largely be-
cause some of the workmen had secret
Iy wet several of the powder trains.
BY daylight Lieutenant Jones and
men-all but the absent four, who were
captured and two who deserted-were
we'll away at Hagerstown, while about
1000 Virginia troops were in Harpers
Ferry with more coming up, blocking
the way to and from the west, and me-
nacing Washington.

Fifty years ago today the first or the

The trip was undertaken as the result
