Now since q modern paved road has
the old sandy driveway
along the canal it has become again
the favorite traffic outlet from the
Albemarle Sound region.
At the State boundary line on the
canal road there was q tavern for the
of travellers and a
stable where the stage horses were
changed.
The old tavern, said to have been
q somewhat pretentious building for
the location, was familiarly called the
Line House. It was sometimes called
the Halfway House from the fact
that it was located just half way be-
tween the northern and southern
terminus of the canal. The old build
ing disappeared during or soon after
the close of the Civil War, but the
place continued to be called the Line
House, while q remnant Of the old
stables remained.
A loint near the "Line House" be-
came noted as q duelling ground in
ante-bellum days. The last duel fought
here took place four or i've years after
the war. The principals were Col.
William E. Cameron of Petersburg,
later Governor Of Virginia, and
Robert w. Hughes, afterward United
States district Judge. One OF the
participants was slightly wounded. A
duel at this same place in which one
of the participants was killed occurred
in the year 1847. This was the duel
between H. r. Harris and E. G. Yellow

and with endless patient research.
The architects, landscape gardeners
and decorators have produced a gem
which will thrill every American Wis
itor to this shrine. Here he will feel
the quiet peace Of life in Virginia
under the Colonial Governors, long
before the Revolution separated Eng
lands fifth colony from the mother
country. He will be amazed In the
realization that, surrounded by a will
derness alive with Indians, these
courageous colonists produced homes,
government buildings and a standard
of living equal to those they had
known in England. For Williamsburg
is not the crude settlement one might
expect. but town whose architectu-
raj beauty is an object lesson to the
builders of today.
THE Capitol, the Governors Palace
and the Raleigh Tavern are the
important places to visit. In each of
these a small admission fee Is charged
to help in the historical and educa-
tional purposes of the Williamsburg
Committee. The Capitol is q duplicate
Of the original building which was de-
stroyed by fire in 1747. It was rebuilt
over the original foundations and fur
nished according to the carefully de-
tailed inventories on record IN its
time one Of the most important build
ings Of Colonial America, its political
influence reached far beyond the bor-
ders Of the Virginia colony. Many
legislative struggles preceding the
American Revolution took place with
in its walls. The House of Burgesses,
the Council and the General Court of
Virginia met here from 1704 to 1776.
The General Assembly, composed of
the House OF Delegates and the Sen
ate, met In the Capitol until Decem-
Der, 1779.
Since the General Assembly of Vir-
ginia is the Oldest representative legis-
lative institution in America, the
Williamsburg capitol is filed with
memories and associations of our
early history. In the reconstruction
Of this building the journals Of the
House of Burgesses were Of great
value, giving minute detail concerning
the design and the furnishings. It
was therefore possible to produce q
structure with all the atmosphere Of
the original one which could create
for the visitor the complete illusion
of the eighteenth century. In the
interior especially one senses this. The
long, oval tables Of the committee
rooms, with their green cloth cover
ings and their old ink stands, make
one glance at the door, half expect
ing to see the venerable Assemblymen
file in to their accustomed places.
Another delicate touch Of pre- -Revolu-
tiohary Illusion Is the British nag
floating over the capitol, just as It
did, of course, In 1705.
THE Governors Palace, in use
from 1705 to 1871, surpassed In

seat In the Colonies. It was the CEN

HY NEXT January Uncle Sam
x hopes to have on the market
his latest publication-the
- Federal Register. A daily, it
will be to the executive branch of the
Government what the Congressional
Record is to the legislative. with the
exception that there will be few If
any speeches recorded.
Authorized by act of Congress, but
with the life-giving appropriation held
over until next session, the Federal
Register is all ready for its first issue.
The editorial staff has been assembled.
It consists of r. D. w. Connor,
archivist; John Dickinson, an assist
ant United States Attorney General,
and August Giegengack, the Public
Printer. with Maj. Bernard r. Ken
nedy named as director and C. A.
Woodrum, jr, assistant director. The
director will be really a managing
editor.
As for reportorial staff, the Federal
Register will have high-powered gen.
tlemen in all the various depart
ments-mostly men connected with
the press bureaus-making daily re-
ports. Ofhcially. they call them
liaison officers; in itself a swanky
term for newShawkS.
Anyway. the Federal Register is all
ready to 60 to press, the material has
been or is being assembled. and all
Uncle Sam wants now are some sub
scribers-for this periodical is going
to be sold, not given away. That
alone prescribes its being read.
In the past several days the edi-
torial staff of the Federal Register
has been conferring with an English
editor, Cecil Thomas Carr, who gets
out o similar publication In the old
country. Mr.. Carr, officially, Is editor
Of Revised Statutes, Statutory Rules
and Laws"-just longer name for
register. Both have the same func-
tions. The American journal will pre-
serve, for all those interested, Federal
proclamations, orders, regulations, no.
tices and other documents. These
will come from the White House and
departments presided over by cabinet
officers.
AS THE Americans learned from
- their English corfrere, Mr.. Carr.
the British system of publishing ex-
ecutive orders comprises two meth
ods: First, there is the ancient Lon
don Gazette, issued twice a week, and
In continuous publication since the
reign Of Charles II. Then, there is
the modern Revised Statutes, Statu-
tory Rules and Laws. Of which Mr..
Carr Is the editor. The old London
Gazette has not had an editor since
days Of the pump rooms.
In contrast to the newness Of the
Federal Register, q modern counter
part, the London Gazette goes back
to the days when there was press
censorship In orYs Britain in the

There Is now good hard-surface
road all the way from Washington to
the North Carolina State line pass
ing through the Dismal Swamp. This
route follows route No. to Freder-
icksburg; thence over the Tdewater
Trail to Portsmouth, and 6 miles
beyond, at the village of Deep Creek,
begins the George Washington High
way, which runs straight through the
swamp along the canal to Elizabeth
City, IN. c. This highway passes the
mouth of the feeder canal miles
from the lake shore, from which point
the lake is reached by motor boats
plying the "little canal" between the
big canal and the water weir at the
lake.
The Chamber Of Commerce Of the
city of Portsmouth Is sponsoring q
movement to build q hardsurface
road from the canal highway to the
lake shore.
A number Of routes for this con-
meeting link extending the State road
system to Lake Drummond have been
suggested. One plan provides for a
modern highway along the north bank
Of the feeder canal" o distance OF
about 3h miles, to the lake. One
engineer suggests blazing new tran

folk, Va, to Moyock, N. G. (passing

route from Northern points to Kitty
Hawk, N. G. Another proposition Is
to extend the old Ballahack road
westward 10 miles across the entire
width Of the swamp to the Suffolk
Edenton Highway. skirting 2 miles OF
the north shore of the lake en- route.
The latter route would place the lake
within 10 miles by highway from SUI
