By HARRY WARD.

RICHMOND. Va. July 26-The good
roads scouting party, composed of Gov
eminent and State road officials, repre-
sentatives OF the Touring Club Of Amer
lea, the Amerio an Association for II III.
way Improvement. and several news
paper men, left here today for Wash
tngton. They expect to arrive shortly
after dark, coming by way of CuIpeper
and Manassas.
The first half of the trip was conf
pleted yesterday when the tourists
rolled into Richmond. and were received
with open arms by the motorists and
good roads enthusiasts. Several ma
chimes met the party en- the outskirts
of the city and led the way to the JEFF
ferson Hotel.
Yesterdays trip was through an in
teresting section. and in many places
the roads were found to be in good con-
dition. The first stop was made at
Orange, where State Highway Commits
sioner Wilson. who is a member Of the
party. conferred with several members
of the board of road supervisors
Promise Their Aid.
They promised to lend their aid to any
movement that will aiG In putting the
county roads in good condition. Old
fashioned Virginia hospitality was dis
pensed with a lavish hand at Louisa,
where the tourists stopped for lunch.
Every member Of the party Will long
remember the cordiality of the greeting
extended by the citizens Of the little
town. Lunch was served at the Louisa
Hotel. after which a good roads meet
ing was held on the hotel lawn. The
full board of road supervisors was in at
tendance and voted to assist in the
movement to give the county better
roads. Brief remarks were made by
Captain Meade, of Louisa, and members
of the good roads party, including Fred
eTick H. Elliott, Paul D. Sargent, ]. Z.
Pennybacker, and P. st. julian Wilson.
During the course of the meeting a run
awav couple dashed up to the hotel and
were married on the hotel portico. The
good roads meeting was temporarily
suspended while the crowd witnessed
the ceremony that united George W.
Johnson and Anna r. Hester in mar
rtage.
Arrange For Congress.
While in Richmond, Secretary Elliott.
of the Touring Club, and Secretary Pen
nybacker, of the Highway improvement
Association, completed tentative ar
for the big road congress to
be held in the Virginia capital late in
October. This congress, which will be
the first Of the kind ever held In this
country, will be under the auspices Of
the two organizations. President Taft
will be among those who will address
the congress.
As a result of the automobile inspec-
ton tour now nearing completion, 1t Is
probable that within a short time there
will be a good highway from Washing
ton to Richmond. The countryside Is
awake to the movement to
build such a highway which would be
the trunk line for automobile traffic be-
tween the North and South, and would
bring thousands Of motorists to Vir-
ginia.
