Tours, France Jan. /, 1919.
Dear ALL
This is January first, all right
enough, but there is little to enthuse
me today. Perhaps it is because
there is no customary celebration to
mark the advent of the New Year
last night. True, at II o'clock
heard lot of whistles blowing, but
my candid opinion is that these were
whistles on American engines over
in the yard at St. Pierre-des- Corps.
The French don't seem to celebrate
at all.
Wonderful weather we are having.
France has great variation of eli
mate considering its small range in
latitude. I can hardly bring myself
to believe that with the mild weather
we have here which scarcely necess-
itates the wearing of an overcoat,
that last winter was the night mare
/ experienced. It rains, as matter
of course, but it is not cold. / pre-
sumo this is largely due to the prox-
unity to the Atlantic and the Gulf
stream, for to all reports, farther
north and at Is-sur-tille where | was
last winter, it is cold and disagree
able as usual.
Well, at last it begins to look as
though / might get home in time.
judge that in about six weeks to
two months time our work here will
be completed to such stage that
the office will be closed up and that
means home for me. l plan, however

Just to be able to say that I've been

Just now we are working on a

GRAND STAND AT STATE FAIR
GROUNDS BURNED,

Raleigh, July 4-Fire completely
destroyed the grandstand at the state
fair grounds this afterioon during the
progress of the Fourth of July mo-
torcycle races.
The origin Of the fire was unknown,
though it is supposed that lighted
match dropped about the stand must
have caused it,. Raleigh fire compa-
nies responded to the alarm but were
unable to render much assistance be-
cause of lack of fire fighting facili-
ties at the fair grounds.
The fire had gained great headway
before the firemen, could reach the
scene and they were able only to pre-
vent the spread of the confiagration
to other buildings in the grounds. all
of which were saved. The grandstand
is some distance from the other fair
buildings and that helped the fire.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS CONFER
AT HIGH POINT.

Officials Of Forsyth, Davidson and
GuiIford Discuss Proposed Road.
The county commissioners of. For
syth, Davidson and Guilford coun-
ties met here in joint session Satur-
day afternoon to discuss good roads
in general and the best route from
High Point through Davidson to Win
ston-Salem in particular. 1t was a
session that was rather extended by
discussion that got no one any great
distance, but the sum and substance
Of the accomplishment was that the
Zen gfneers chose the road known as
the old plank road route over the one
that goes via Wallburg as the best of
those yet examined and studied. The
proposed route that would connect
with the Greensboro and Winston-Sa-
lem route at Kernersville had not
been toured by the engineers, conse-
uuently no expert opinion was forth
coming as to the merits. of this road.
The general agreement was that Da-
wilson could go. ahead and put that
portion of the old plank route run
ming through three or four miles OF
her territory into the best possible
sand clay condition and Guilford and
Forsyth would connect, at each end,
thus giving a good highway.
But the sentiment for a hard sur
face road would not down, and there
was in evidence a feeling that this
was the only solution Of the highway
problem. It developed during the con-
ference of commissioners, which was
attended by a number of interested
citizens of the three counties concern
ed, that the Forsyth and Guilford com
missiOners are in what might be call.
ed full accord as to the plans for the
Greensboro and Winston-Salem high
way. Concrete will be the material
used. The discovery of this rumored
agreement only served to strengthen
the determination that exists locally
for a similar road from this city TO
Kernersville to connect with the
straight route between the two coun-
tv seats. Davidson is admittedly a
sand clay county 1T favors roads or
that type over any others yet men
toned, while the Forsyth and Gull
ford representatives are apparently
strongly inclined toward those known.
as permanent. Gui1ford's experiences
in the past strengthen this view.
The Guilford and Forsyth plans will
be gone over later at a joint meeting
of the road officials of the two couu-
ties. Davidson can go ahead from
the assurances she got here this at
ternoon: in any event she's going to
have a splendid sand-clay highway 10
either High Point or Winston-Salem;
Greensboro and, Winston4Salem are
apparently sure of getting their hard
surfaced road, and High Point must
continue to hustle for its desired Ker-
nersville connecting link. That
what the meeting amounted to.

ParrsborO is a town about 35 miles
