road, such as the new route is UNI
derstood to be.
The other question involved in this
discussion is that of usefulness. Let
US start with Virginia By actual
count made by one Of the leading tax
payers of the Loudon Valley, there
are 100 families and farm owners int
crested in having the road pass from
Conrad's shop to Harper's Ferry, and
does not include single family south
of the road from Hillsboro There
are by like computation just three
farms, whose owners might be
thought of as favoring the mountain
route. The road down the valley
means additional valuation to 100 as
compared to three. Moreover, this
route means access to railroad con-
nections in all directions, to an ex-
press Office, to excellent schools, to
post Office and in fact is a tri-state
road, making immediate connections
over fine roads in every direction. As
to the other possible route none Of
these things may be affirmed As a
part of system where service to the
local people most concerned, is a
matter to be given decent considera-
ton, there surely is but one answer
to be made as to where the road
should be constructed. Should, per-
chance, the tastes and interests of the
traveller be conceded, then surely no
one would be satisfied to pass within
three or four miles of Harper's Fer
ry. with all its scenic beauty and ro-
mantle legend and history. Travel
ers would most certainly choose this
route.
From the standpoint of servicibility
to West Virginans, it will be at once
conceded that bridge would be a
boon to number living on the east
side of the river, who must depend
upon the uncertainties of ferries.
And to eventually macadam, or at
least properly grade and drain those
roads, would be desirable. But
whether there is any justification for
such an enormous outlay as has been
pointed out to go over the mountains
with the proposed road is very doubt
full. Lest there be any niisunder-
standing, as TO the attitude of the
writer and a large number of people
at this end of the county, may say
that | favor the building of a bridge
across the Shenandoah at some point
where the river is relatively narrow
and where such bridge will serve
the greatest number Of local people.

A VERY uNcIvIL WAR.

To the Editor of The Sun-Sir:-
would you kindly ask the dear people
who write articles for The Sun about
the war of '61 to '65 in these United
States to call it by its right name.
read an article the other day that
called it the Civil War.
1t was not.
It was the most uncivil war | was
ever mixed up in. For instance, l
was a bov courier on Stonewall jack
sons staff. Riding along the pike
from Winchester, Va, to Berryville,
Va, carrying message from General
Jackson to Geneal Early. suddenly a
gentleman in a blue uniform came
from behind tree and pointed big
gun right in my face. He didn't in
quire after my health, say "Howdy''
or anything civil. He simply said:
Surrender
"Sure."
"Come with me-"
"Sure. Mike"
That was not civil.
He rode on his good horse and l
walked on my bad feet all the way to
Strasburg to call on General Sheridan
in the yard of Mr. Wauckupe (pro-
nounce that Walkup, please). Gen.
eral Sheridan told me to walk to
Harpers Ferry with another gentle
man in blue.
Call that civil?
When we arrived at Harpers Ferry
they locked me up in jail. srent
two years there in four weeks. Then
was exchanged.
Call it by the name, the war be-
tween the States. 1t was fought
about State rights. And today every
State makes its own laws. ! know a
State where you can't eat oysters in
month that hasn't an R in it. That's
the reason we spell August Orgust.
In some States lots of people can't
vote. And don't want to. And so
forth and so on. A. w. Hawks, Sr.

CONGRESS MUST PROVIDE
MORE MONEY FOR SUBWAY

All bids for the subway proposed
at Lamond station, Van Buren,
street and the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad tracks, having exceeded
the appropriation, Engineer Com
missioner J. Franklin Bell will re.
quest Congress to provide addi-
tional funds in the first deficiency
appropriation bill.
Although the estimate for the
construction OF the subway, where
the grade crossing is now in effect,
was at one time $4,000 this amount
had been pared until the amount
stipulated by Congress was only
$50 900. The lowest bid, Of those
opened yesterday, that Of Lewis J.
Selling, of Red Bank, N. j., was
$66, 900. It is expected that work
on the subway will probably begin
next summer after Congress pro-

the original shade to their gray hair.
The following is a letter typical
Of many written in praise Of this
remarkable preparation.
"OnIy q short time ago my hair was
quite gray and becoming grayer. Il was
falling out. Ny scalp itched and dar-
oruf appeared.

stopped the itching and dandruh. Ny
hair soon stopped coming out Most
wonderful of all, however. II that my
hair IL again its original shade. look
tan years younger. No wonder I'm 90
thankful for Kolor-Bsk."
Authorities state that hair turns
gray when for any reason it fails
to receive the proper amount Of
coloring matter from the cells IN
the scalp. No matter what the
cause of the grayness, it is amaz-
ing to see how quickly Kolor-Bak
brings back the former shade. 1t Is

Kolor-Bak is not sticky, greasy,
mussy or unpleasant to use. 1t is
just q clean, colorless liquid con-
tanning ingredients known to be
beneficial to hair and scalp as
easy to use as water. Results
often appear in a week.
It not only restores the former
shade to the hair; it banishes dam

and stops falling Of the hair.

any gray hair. Money back instantly
