We All Need 1t.

A class in physical training
would be q splendid thing for
the young people of this town
who have left school aud are
entering upon the important
duties of life.
1t would be of equal benefit
to many of us who are not so
young. 1t might well be made
n class for everybody.
Physical exercise docs much
to develop the physique and
strengthen the mind and broad
on the intellect. 1t is condu-
Give to health, and good health
brings peace of mind and an
ambition to do things.
Many of the greatest and
wisest men of the nation are
regular in their physical eXer-
cises. The strain upon their
mentality is SO great that with
out some diversion they would
soon collapse.
But exercise and strong phys
ical development serves to keep
them in the best of condition
and enables them to continue
undated their strenuous pace
until late in life.
y system of physical excr-
else would do much for the PEG
pie of this town. Its beneficial
results would be seen in many
ways-in increased ambition,
in tangible results, Insyouthiul
appearance in old age.
School children are not the
only ones who need physical
exercise. We all need it, and
should have it.

BRISTOL MOTOR PARTY
TOURS COAL FIELDS.
Carl A. Jones First Local Trav-
eler to Drive Through
Coal Fields.

Mr.. and Mrs. Carl A. Jones,
Hiram q. Sanders aud Hal
Harkrader, constituting n mo.
tor party, returned Monday
night from a trip through the
coal field section of Southwest
Virginia, including Russell,
Lee and Wise counties. This is
the first Bristol motor party to
take the trip from this city to
that section, where approx
mately -, 800, 900 has been spent
by three counties, within the
past four or five years, in the
construction of modern high
ways.
The progress that has been
made by Russell, Wise and
Lee Counties in the building of
good roads is remarkable" said
Mr.. Jones. "Wise county has
spent $l,1O0,0OO constructing a
net work of macadamized roads.
This is remarkable for an en-
tirely mountainous county. 1t
is a pity that this section has
not already an outlet to Bristol.
Now the only way it is possible
TO get from Bristol to that sec
ton in motor car is by way of
Abingdon and over through
Russell. The road from Abing-
don across to Russell, including
the Little Moccasin section, is
frightfully rough. Once in
that section though the tourist
is quickly repaid for his incon-
venience in getting there, by
the wealth of hysical beauty
and charm of the country
toured last fall through tie AL
leghanies in the Pittsburgh sec
ton but the scenery there is
not to be compared to the south
west Virginia coal fields. When
this section is given road to
Bristol, believe that tia scenic
grandeur will attract tourists
from all over the country. \
ROAD 10 that section VIII mean
almost as much To Bristol as a
new railroad would be worth to
the city. The value of mac
adamized road to this city can
hardly be overestinatcd. The
people of these three counties
have done wonders in building
roads, especially in view of the
tremendous expenses of build
ing them The problems work
ed out by their engineers in
building these roads certainly
furnished engineering nuts to
crack,
MIR. Jones was induced &c
make the trip by reason of see
ing the exhibits of Mise and
Lee counties at the recent good
roads meeting here. Bristo
