Bahamian Dollar rates updated 5 minutes ago.
Currency Online Group specialise in providing travel money and currency buy back services. We offer exclusive, enhanced Currency Buyback rates to Compare Holiday Money customers that you won't find anywhere else.
If you've returned from holiday with some leftover Bahamian Dollars or have unwanted Bahamian Dollars that you want to exchange back into British Pounds, we can help you to find a buyer at a great rate.
Exchanging Bahamian Dollars back to Sterling in the high street can be a challenge because a lot of high street currency suppliers will only buy back Bahamian Dollars that they sold you in the first place, and most banks will only exchange currency if you're a customer - and even then they'll offer you a terrible buy back rate. Fortunately, a growing number of travel money providers are buying back Bahamian Dollars over the Internet; you can choose to post your Bahamian Dollars via insured Special Delivery, or sell it back in person by placing an order online and visiting them in-store. Our currency buy back partners can offer much better exchange rates than most high street providers because their overheads are lower, and they will buy back any Bahamian Dollars regardless of where they were originally purchased - no receipt necessary.
Over the past 90 days, the Bahamian Dollar buy back rate has increased by 0.00% from 0 on 27th March 2019 to 1.3558 today. Based on these figures, $200 is worth £-147.51 less today than it did three months ago. During this period the Bahamian Dollar buy back rate hit a high of 1.3814 on the 3rd April and a low of 0 on the 27th March.
When selling Bahamian Dollars, lower rates are better because they amount of money you receive is calculated by dividing the number of Bahamian Dollars you have by the exchange rate (it's the opposite of buying currency). You can see more historical exchange rate data over longer time frames on our Bahamian Dollar exchange rate history page.
If you're selling Bahamian Dollars by post, the buy-back process can vary between buyers so we recommend you visit the buyer's website directly for specific instructions.
Exchanging Bahamian Dollars for Pounds Sterling over-the-counter is straightforward; simply find a buyer above using our comparison table (be sure to select the 'In person' filter to limit your results to buyers who can exchange over the counter) and visit their website for specific instructions and to find your nearest store. Typically you'll be given cash in exchange for your leftover Bahamian Dollars but some buyers may offer alternative options such as loading money onto a store card or gift voucher.
Selling Bahamian Dollars in person can save you money because you don't have to spend on postage, but there are a few things to bear in mind if you are considering using this method:
If you need receive Bahamian Dollars from an overseas account (either as a one-off payment or for multiple regular payments) you should use our money transfer service to request a free quote because you may be able to save even more on the exchange. Money transfer brokers specialise in transferring funds to and from overseas bank accounts at a fraction of the cost of the banks and with much better exchange rates. Typical examples include:
This service is only suitable for funds that are being transferred to and from bank accounts; it cannot be used for exchanging cash. If you require cash, please use the buy back service on this page instead.
We compiled a list of our most frequently-asked questions and sent them to a foreign exchange expert at Currency Online Group and for answering. If your question isn't answered below or you would like more information on the buy-back process, please contact us.
When sending in your currency order you should use Royal Mail Special insured delivery. You can insure the package for either £500, £1000 or £2500. It costs between £6.50 to £9.50 for the insurance and arrives the next working day. It is very rare for the Royal Mail to ever lose a special delivery package as it goes through a more secure process than regular mail and should the unlikely ever happen the Royal Mail will repay the GBP value of the currency from the insurance. There is nothing on the package to suggest what is inside and needs to be signed for at the other end. It is just as safe, if not safer, as ordering anything else online.
Yes, it is very safe. Royal Mail's special delivery service goes through a more secure process than regular mail. It is very rare for the Royal Mail to ever lose a special delivery package and should this ever happen the Royal Mail will re-pay the GBP value of the currency.
You will be paid within 3 working days via bank transfer to your chosen bank account.
The GBP will need to be paid into an account in your own name. You could call us to explain any reason why you might need it paid to another account and we can advise how we can help.
For small amounts of currency, no ID will be required. For larger amounts of currency, ID will be automatically requested via the website as well as questions and further documents to prove where the money has come from. This is to adhere to regulatory obligations which are required by law, and also help mitigate the risks associated with criminals attempting to use our products to launder money or commit fraud.
The exchange rate you will receive will be the rate on the day we receive the currency. Rates do not normally move much from day to day however you could receive slightly less or more than when placing your order.
If you are not happy with the amount of GBP we offer we can arrange for the currency you sent us to be returned to you.
We can arrange to exchange your currency for another currency other than GBP. In this case, we would buy your currency at the live Market rate then sell you the currency requested at the rates on our website. This way you are only being charged one way on the exchange rate. It is best to contact us to let us know you would like to exchange to another currency and make a note on the print out form you send in with your currency. We will then arrange for the new currency to be sent to you via Royal Mail special delivery.
Countries often update their notes, so we try to keep our system up-to-date and when you select any recently affected currencies you should be notified of the change. We recommend double checking any currency that you have had lying around for a while before sending them to us. Unfortunately, there is absolutely nothing we can do with them once they get outmoded by the country in question. We'll do our best to make sure our website lets you know when you fill in one of these currencies anyway. But if you have any doubt, then double check just in case. Any outdated currency will be returned to you.

Chris Wesseling is banging the table to turn the Pittsburgh Steelers into our 2014 Team of Around the League.
The team is a compelling choice because of increased speed on both sides of the ball, an enticing cast of rookies and one of the game's most watchable quarterbacks in Ben Roethlisberger. The Steelers also have one of the AFC's better bounce-back candidates in Heath Miller.
The veteran tight end wasn't himself last season on the heels of ACL, MCL and PCL surgery in January 2013. Now healthy, Miller is a solid bet to improve on his 58 catches for just 593 yards from a season ago.
"(It's) huge, the way he has looked," Roethlisberger told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review on Monday. "He has looked healthy right from the get-go, looks kind of like the old Heath. One of the practices, he caught a pass about 12 yards downfield and made a move and actually made a guy miss and he finished all the way down the field. That was the Heath Miller we love to see."
Miller has long been a favorite of Big Ben, but Pittsburgh's quarterback isn't lacking for options in this offense. Behind Antonio Brown, "Making the Leap" candidate Markus Wheaton should see plenty of snaps in a passing game that also added Lance Moore in free agency and Martavis Bryant through the draft.
Housing one of the conference's more intriguing rosters on paper, the Steelers are shaping up as a lock to snap their streak of back-to-back 8-8 campaigns.
In the latest edition of the "Around The League Podcast," the heroes discuss which teams "realistically" have no shot at winning the Super Bowl this season.

Another Link of Toll Loop 49 in Smith County to Open Friday
The Texas Department of Transportation announced it would be opening Segment 3A of Toll 49 to traffic Friday afternoon , at which time motorists will be able to drive Toll 49 between SH 110 in Whitehouse to SH 31 west of Tyler in approximately15 minutes.
The 8-mile segment, which began construction in 2009, connects the former west end of Toll 49 at SH 155 in Noonday with SH 31 between Tyler and Chandler, and will be free to drive through Monday, December 3.
"We're almost there," said TxDOT spokesman Larry Krantz. "But we wouldn't be this far along without help from our partners."
Segment 3B of Toll 49, which will connect SH 31 and IH 20, is under construction by the North East Texas Regional Mobility Authority and is scheduled to be open to traffic in 2013.
For a limited time only, East Texans will have the ability to purchase a TxTAG this week at the Tyler Area Office, located at Toll 49 and SH 155. TxTAGs will be on sale between 8 a.m.-6 p.m Tuesday and Wednesday, and between 8 a.m.-noon Thursday.
TxTAGs can also be purchased by calling 1-888-Go-TxTAG or by logging on to www.txtag.org.
TxDOT opened Segment 5 of Toll 49, which runs between SH 110 and FM 756 (Paluxy Drive), in June. Segment 1 of Toll 49, which runs between SH 155 and US 69, opened in August of 2006. Segment 2, which runs between US 69 and FM 756 opened in February 2008. Segment 4 of Toll 49, also known as the Lindale Reliever Route, would connect US 69 in Lindale to IH 20. It is not currently funded for construction, but planning and environmental impact studies have been under way for several years in anticipation of funding becoming available one day.

Fred Lasswell was an American comics artist. He created the comic strip 'Sgt. Hashmark', but is most famous for being the second artist to draw 'Barney Google and Snuffy Smith' after the original creator, Billy DeBeck, passed away. Laswell continued the series from 1942 until his own death in 2001.
Born in 1916, Laswell started his career as a sports cartoonist for the Tampa Daily Times around 1928. His work attracted the attention of Billy DeBeck, creator of the newspaper strip 'Barney Google and Snuffy Smith', in 1933. Fred Lasswell became his assistant, aged 17, and took over the famous strip after DeBeck's death in 1942. During World War II, Fred Lasswell served as a flight radio operator and created the strip 'Sgt. Hashmark'.
Apart from working in comics, he was an inventor, coming up with a successful citrus fruit harvester, a technique to enable the blind to read comics, a bilingual laser disc and a hypercard stack for computers. He also produced a series of videos for children, called 'Draw and Color with Uncle Fred'. Fred Lasswell won many awards for his comic work, including a Reuben in 1964.
Fred Lasswell continued to write and draw 'Barney Google and Snuffy Smith' for over sixty years. Fred Lasswell died of a heart attack on 4 March 2001. On of his assistants, John Rose, took over this still very popular daily strip, which as of 2018 is still running to this day!
Pati Schlesinger wrote to Lambiek:
"In fact, on the day he died he was twelve weeks ahead on his strips; he finished his last video for kids and schools; he called his patent lawyer with a new invention for animating comics on the internet; he spent the evening remembering wonderful time; he went to bed in a high spirited mood and passed away in his sleep. A gentle death for a wonderful, genuine man who spent his life making millions of people laugh every day. He was the cartoonists' cartoonist and his colleagues honored him many times with every industry award, some of which they awarded him twice. He left us with a Charitable Foundation for "Learning and Laughter," which, since 2001 has worked on programs for nutrition, recreation, arts education and advocacy for kids and is working on developing some of his brilliant ideas for teacher learning aids."

The Fall Of The Stone City
by Ismail Kadare (Text Publishing $37.99)
It seems that poking oblique borax at his native Albania has become a hard habit to break for Ismail Kadare, that country's most noted writer. He's had to dress his opinions up in enigma for so much of his career that even now that the political danger of speaking out has (for the time being) gone, he can't bring himself to speak plainly. The Fall Of The Stone City is as baffling and slippery as anything he ever penned under the repressive Hoxha regime.
The Fall Of The Stone City opens as World War II is coming to a close. The Italians have surrendered and the Germans are in retreat. It seems certain they'll shortly overrun Albania. The sole question is: will they come as visitors, just passing through, or as an army of occupation?
Sure enough, motorcycle scouts riding ahead of a column of tanks soon appear at the gates of Gjirokaster (the stone city of the title) and are met with a volley of gunfire. As the main strength of the Nazi force arrives, the citizenry cowers in anticipation of reprisals. But the SS commander, Colonel Fritz von Schwalbe, steps from his car and announces that he has a friend in Gjirokaster. He orders that Dr Gurameto, with whom he studied in Munich before the war, be brought to him.
As hostages and a firing squad are assembled in the town square, von Schwalbe and Gurameto repair to the latter's house for a dinner that soon passes into town legend. After the reunion has been in progress for several hours, the hostages are released. The Germans settle into Albania for the remainder of the war, only to depart ahead of the advancing Soviets.
Throughout the subsequent, turbulent history of Albania, the events and significance of Gurameto's dinner are endlessly contested. It acquires a mythological dimension, as it resembles an Albanian folk tale, and it is always a political event.
Gurameto is a hero one minute, a craven collaborator the next: his stocks are sky-high under one regime, and he is imprisoned and tortured by the next.
As it has weathered all manner of changes down the course of history, Gjirokaster (his birthplace, and incidentally also that of Enver Hoxha) appeals to Kadare as an apt symbol for the spirit of the Albanian people through countless regime changes, the rise and fall of empires, the comings and goings of invaders.
Curiously, although the city "falls" neither in the novel nor in reality - it remains a World Heritage site - it has experienced many, many spiritual and moral falls in its time.
Kadare populates the city with remnants of former regimes: "In the city there were 11 former vezirs and pashas of the Ottoman Empire, four former overseers of the sultan's harem, three former deputy managers of the Italian-Albanian banks, 15 ex-prefects of various regimes, two professional stranglers of heirs apparent, a street called 'Lunatics Lane' and two high-class courtesans, not to mention the famous 300 former judges and more than 600 cases of insanity: a lot for a mediaeval city now striving to become a communist one."
The Fall Of The Stone City is playful, supremely sarcastic, mystifying, charming and bleak, by turns and all at once.
Kadare raises ambiguity to an art form, and perfectly evokes the uncertainties of life under arbitrary rule.

Tips on renting a dumpster in Lincolnton, GA
Does the waste & debris get recycled?
An increasing number of dumpster rental companies are offering recycling services due the growing number of recycling facilities popping up around the country. A typical materials recovery facility is able to process paper, metals, plastics, concrete, masonry, roofing shingles, amongst other materials.
Ask your dumpster provider if they offer recycling and if so, what's required to participate. Typically you'll need to keep recyclables in a separate container, referred to as a "clean load."
All materials and debris that isn't recyclable will be dropped off at municipal landfills, construction and demolition (C&D) landfills or waste-to-energy (WTE) plants.
How many days do I get to keep the trash dumpster on site?
One week is a standard rental period, although it's not uncommon to find some dumpster rental companies that offer 14-day rentals included in the price. Some may even charge a daily fee for rental, which could end up being a better deal in cases where you only need the container on site for a day or two.
If you need a dumpster for longer than the rental period, you can request it for longer and pay a "late fee" of typically $5 or $10 per day. Many rental companies cap the maximum length of the rental due to inventory issues. To have a debris box picked up prior to the end of the rental period, simply call the company and request a pick-up.

Jimmy Baker was featured on B/D in 2009 back when his work consisted mainly of realistically rendered portraits. Since then, his paintings have dramatically changed and, as of recently, moved away from direct representation – from photorealistic landscapes on slick resin coated surfaces from 2010-2011, to abstract figuration using oil and UV ink on canvas.
Baker draws from various contemporary media, mashing news, government conspiracies and political events with celebrity and social media dribble. His process of creating "synthesized content" is researched and extremely labor intensive; as described in an interview with Cincinnati Magazine:
"…you paint a rendering of a digitized sketch, then print a digital image over the painting, then paint the digital print that's on top of the painting that is itself a version of the original digital image."
His process sounds rigid, and induces one to envision a cold, obsessively constructed piece, but improvised, thick, painterly strokes contradict this notion.
The contents of the work appear identifiable in parts, but attempts to mentally construct from them a whole proves difficult due to the pieces' alternating, detailed layers; the fleeting glimpse of recognition compels one to further inquiry.
Baker is represented by New Galerie in France and has exhibited at the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, Ohio.

MIDDLEBURY — Just like any compliment, some college rankings need to be taken with a grain of salt.
That is the attitude of Middlebury College Director of Athletics Erin Quinn, anyway, in deference to the National Collegiate Scouting Association's (NCSA) recent ranking of Middlebury as third overall in their "comprehensive study of both academics and athletics."

For Middlebury-area residents the newest pastime is to take a stroll over the Cross Street Bridge in early evening hours. The bridge is yet to be open, there's no traffic and the sunset on a warm fall day is spectacular.
MIDDLEBURY — Despite having the better of the play and taking three one-goal leads, the Middlebury Union High School field hockey team on Saturday settled for a 3-3 tie with visiting Champlain Valley.
The Redhawks (4-1-1) got a tying goal with 1:53 to go that came against the run of play, and they were the happier team at the end of overtime than the 3-2-1 Tigers.
Tiger senior captain Sara Higgins, who scored the game's first goal and was denied by a defensive save in overtime, said the Tigers have improved their offensive teamwork — and look forward to the rematch with the Redhawks.
VERGENNES — Vergennes officials' first summer of overseeing the city's Sam Fishman Pool went well, City Manager Mel Hawley told aldermen at their meeting last Tuesday night, and it ended with a surplus of roughly $10,000.
The city accepted ownership of the pool this spring from the Vergennes ID school board, which ceased operations earlier this year per a 2009 vote of city residents. That board owned the land under the pool and the city's other nearby recreation facilities, as well as an adjacent 8-acre parcel of land accessed from New Haven Road by a right-of-way.
VERGENNES — City aldermen on Sept. 21 approved a proposal by City Manager Mel Hawley, also the city's zoning administrator, to raise the city's zoning fees for the first time since January 2001. Hawley said the Vergennes Development Review Board had worked with him on coming up with the new fee schedule.
On the national political scene, the GOP leadership is stirring the pot with talk of shutting down the government. With inflammatory speech about a government run amuck, spreading socialism and deficit spending that's out of control, these holier-than-thou hypocrites then offer the soothing tag-line that their intent is to create a "smaller government that cares for the people" by returning power to the Republicans.

Left here to SHEPHERD'S CHURCH (L), 0.3 m., a simple brick structure built in 1859 by a Methodist congregation organized about 179o at the home of William Shepherd.
ST.STEPIIEN'S CHURCH, 16.3 m., a crossroads community that has taken the name of a former church of St.Stephen's Parish, is at a junction with State 14.
HOLLY HILL (L), 17.6 m., is a tall brick L-shaped house built about 18 ic, by the Fauntleroys. Samuel Fauntleroy was the last person in this section to abandon his 'coach and four'; his arrival in high style at church was always an event.
AYLETTS, 18.9 m. (250 pop.), by the formerly navigable Mattaponi, was named for the Aylett family on whose land it was founded. Before the War between the States the town bristled with activity each Tuesday and Friday, when people of the countryside drove in to meet the stage, which brought the 'United States mail' -- including newspapers. The lumbering stage, drawn by four horses, ran between Tappahannock and Richmond; on its 'boot' were trunks, and on its top packages and mail bags. 'Mail days'were shopping days and people brought their lunches with them. In 1856 Ayletts had a carriage factory, an iron foundry, tailoring and millinery shops, a tavern, harness and saddlemaking plants, and a variety of stores.
MONTVILLE (L), 20 m., an Aylett estate, was a home of Patrick Henry's daughter Elizabeth, who married Philip Aylett. William Aylett built twin frame houses here, one of them for Patrick Henry Aylett. That young man, supplied with two horses, a Negro, $5oo, and a gold watch that belonged to his grandfather Patrick Henry, went to practice law in Tennessee but returned to Virginia and became a prominent attorney.
At 21.4 m. is a junction with State 30.
Right here to County 639, 0.8 m., and L. 0.2 m. to CAT-TAIL CHURCH (L), a simple low-pitched brick structure erected in 1751. Twin frame towers and Outside flues designed as Gothic buttresses have been added and the walls have been covered with stucco. The church was first in St.Margaret's Parish, constituted in 1721, but subsequent changes placed it in St.David's. After the disestablishment, the building was used by other denominations. About 1850 Cat-Tail was given to Negro Baptists.
At 10. 1 m. on State 30 is a junction with County 638; L. here 0.2 m. to MANGOHICK CHURCH (L), built in 1732 and starkly unornamented. Its walls rise to a steeply gabled roof. 'The new Brick church' that Colonel William Byrd passed in 1732 on his way to the mines was later given the name of an Indian tribe that had lived in the vicinity. Mangohick, first a church of St.Margaret's Parish, then of St.David's, was deserted by its communicants after the Revolution. In 1825 the Union Baptist Church was organized here, with both white and Negro members. In 1854 the white members moved to a new building.
At 15.5 m. on State 30 is a junction with State 2 (see Tour Ia).
CENTRAL GARAGE, 22.4 m., is at a junction with State 30 (see Tour 2).
At 24.6 m. is a junction with County 618.
Left here to FONTAINEBLEAU (L), 1.4 m., where the foundations of the former'great house,' destroyed in 1932, now form the enclosure of a garden. In the garden and about the grounds are figures of animals, fauns, and wood nymphs, the handiwork of a resident of the small brick house that remains. Her studio is an abandoned streetcar, gaily decorated.
Fontainebleau was the home of Colonel William Spotswood Fontaine (1880-82). He was a great-grandson and his wife was a granddaughter of Patrick Henry, a fact that helped save the ante-bellum house when Federal soldiers came here. The family had fled to a neighboring plantation. The furniture had been piled in the hall and saturated with kerosene, when a subordinate officer noticed a portrait of Patrick Henry and questioned the servants about it. Discovering that the house belonged to descendants of the Revolutionary hero, the officer ordered the soldiers away.
US 360 crosses the PAMUNKEY RIVER, 27.4 m., a narrow winding stream fringed by dense woodlands and giant sycamores.
At 29 m. is a junction with County 605
I. Left here to the SITE OF NEW CASTLE, 0.8 m., on the bank of the Pamunkey. When seen by the Marquis de Chastellux the'little capital' contained 'twenty-five or t~irty houses, some of which are pretty enough.' The New Castle fairs were gala occasions, with 'Horse Races and several other Diversions.' In 1737 subscribers proposed: 'that 20 Horses or Mares do run round a three-mile Course for a Prize of Five Pounds . . . that a Violin be played for by 20 Fiddlers; no person to have the liberty of playing unless he bring a fiddle with him; after the prize is won, they are all to play together and each a different tune, and to be treated by the company . . . that a Flag be flying on said Day 30 feet high; that a handsome Entertainment be provided for the subscribers and their wives; and such of them as are not so happy as to have wives may treat any other Lady; . . . that a Quire of Ballads be sung for by a number of Songsters, all of them to have liquor sufficient to clear their WindPipes.'
At New Castle in May 1775 Patrick Henry assembled the Hanover County Militia to force Governor Dunmore to return the colony's powder taken from the Powder Horn.
2. Right from US 360 on County 605 to the SITE OF HANOVERTOWN (R) 3.9 m., a few scattered houses. In 1751 this place, then called Page's Warehouse, missed by a few votes being made the State capital. John Blair, incensed because the prestige of Williamsburg was threatened, accused Speaker John Robinson of having been 'at the bottom of this hellish plot.' Page's Warehouse became a town, however, when, in 1762, the general assembly directed that ioo acres be laid off with streets and lots and be called Hanover.
Here the Virginia Militia assembled to await orders May 29, 17 76. There was a hospital here during the Revolution, and at the wharves army ordnance was loaded and unloaded. After the Revolution British prisoners were kept here for several weeks, and did 'as they please burnt three empty houses. all fences within half a mile of town, and most piling around their garders.' Here, on May 27-28, 1864, Grant's army crossed the Pamunkey in his attempt to advance on Richmond.
SUMMER HILL (R), 4.9 m., a frame house, was the home of Colonel William B. Newton of the Confederate army. Here Gcneral Grant stopped a few days in 1864 after crossing the river at Hanovertown. Finding the family ill and with little food, he sent them a wagonload of provisions from his headquarters at Cold Harbor. Two years before, Captain William Latan, killed at Linney's Corner, June 13, had been buried in the Summer Hill burial lot near the house. The funeral service was read by Mrs. Willoughby Newton of Westmoreland County, who was a refugee in Hanover. The incident inspired 'The Burial of Latan' painting by William D. Washington and a poem by John R. Thompson.
MARLBOURNE (L), at 30.7 m., is the burial place and one time home of Edmund Ruffin (see Tour 19). The frame, two-story house, overlooking broad lowlands, has a two-story porch and one-story wings.
Moving to Marlbourne in 1843, Ruffin here developed fully his agricultural practices and received ample reward, monetary and honorary, for his incessant labors. He forsook experimental farming in 1855 to promote secession, and traveled through the South making fiery speeches. At Charleston he was allowed to fire the first shot on Sumter. Too old for military service, Ruffin retired to Marlbourne where he stayed until the approach of Union troops.
At 31.9 m. is a junction with County 6o6.
I. Left here to OLD CHURCH, 1.5 m., an almost deserted village that was once a trading center. The tavern, no longer accommodating guests, is part brick and part frame with a two-story full length porch. Near by is the SITE OF THE OLD CHURCH, built in 1718 and rebuilt in 1753. The Reverend Patrick Henry, uncle of the orator, was rector for 40 years.
2. Right from US 36o on County 606 to LINNEY'S CORNER, 0.3 m. (see Tour 1A).
Southward, US 36o traverses battle grounds of the Seven Days' Campaign of 1862 and of the Cold Harbor Campaign of 1864. McClellan, advancing up the Peninsula in 1862, fought a drawn battle at Seven Pines (see Tour 8a) and one month later was defeated in a series of battles and forced to abandon his drive on Richmond.
After the fighting at the Wilderness and at Spotsylvania in May 1864, Grant moved toward Richmond. Finding the Confederates in a strategic position on the North Anna River, he swung eastward, then southward. Lee continued to parallel Grant, keeping always between Richmond and the Federal army. After lingering in this vicinity for three days, the armies moved to Cold Harbor.
The SITE OF BETHESDA CHURCH (L) is at 35.1 m. Among Brady's photographs of war scenes is one showing Grant and his staff seated on benches before the church.
REMNANTS OF BREASTWORKS (L), 35.7 m., mark the advanced position of Ewell's Confederate Corps, preceding the Battle of Cold Harbor in 1864.
MECHANICSVILLE, 40 m. (ioo pop.), is now a gathering of filling stations and brick barbecue stands but in ante-bellum days it had taverns, livery stables, and blacksmith shops, with hucksters' carts, farm wagons, and carriages about them -- 'the last stop' on the stage-route to Richmond. On the hill (R) is the wooden antenna tower of Radio Station WRVA.
Left here on State 156 to BEAVER DAM CREEK, 1.1 m., along which on June 26, 1862, was fought the Battle of Mechanicsville, or Beaver Dam Creek. Following three weeks of Federal inactivity, during which Jackson had marched from the Valley to Richmond, Lee ordered an attack here on McClellan's right wing, under General Fitz John Porter. Jackson and A.P.Hill, coming from the west, were to drive Porter from the town, thus opening the river bridge to Longstreet and D.H.Hill. Jackson delayed; A.P.Hill attacked prematurely; Porter fell back to his fortifications on this creek; and Longstreet and D.H.Hill, crossing, followed A.P.Hill. The battle lasted six hours, with no advantage to the Confederates. The following morning Porter abandoned his position and fell back to New Cold Harbor. Confederate losses were 1,350, Federal 361.
At 6.1 m. is a junction with a battlefield park road; R. here 0.5 m. to BOATSWAIN CREEK, across which, on June 27, 1862, was fought the Battle of Gaines' Mills, or New Cold Harbor. Porter had drawn up his corps on a hill to resist the advance of Lee's army. The Confederate attack, begun about 2 P.M., lacked co-ordination and until 7 had made little progress. About sundown Lee ordered a general advance without regard to connecting troops. Porter pushed back at dusk, crossed the river during the night and joined the main army. Federal losses were 6,83 7; Confederate 8,3 58.
Along State 156 is the BATTLEFIELD OF OLD COLD HARBOR with a contact station (information; riding horses rented) at 6.4 m. The field is within the Richmond National Battlefield Park; miles of trenches have been restored, and foot and bridle paths cross fields and earthworks. Farmlands here were the bloody ground of the 1862 campaign and of the Battle of Cold Harbor, June 3, 1864, when, outnumbering Lee's army two to one, the Federals made a concerted attempt to dislodge the Confederates from entrenchments. Though the assault lasted only 22 minutes, the Federal losses were more than 7,000 compared with a Confederate loss of less than 2,000. Sporadic firing continued for some days, but no further assault was made.
From this battlefield Lee sent Early's corps to the Valley and Grant sent Sheridan westward to tear up the Virginia Central Railroad (see Tour 9) and to join General David Hunter, approaching Lynchburg. On June 12 Grant moved eastward to Wilcox's Landing (see Tour 24).
At 14.8 m. on State 156 is a junction with US 60 at SEVEN PINES (see Tour 8a).
At 42.4 m. are REMAINS OF THE INTERMEDIATE LINE, breastworks built in the 1860's. Richmond's defense included 25 inner forts and batteries, this encircling earthwork, and a third or outer line.
RICHMOND, 46.5 m. (15 to 2o6 alt., 182,929 POP.) (see Richmond).
In Richmond are junctions with US I (see Tour 1), State 2 (see Tour 1), US 33 (see Tour 9), US 250 (see Tour I 7a), State 6 (see Tour 23), US 6o (see Tour 8), State 10 (see Tour 19), and State 5 (see Tour 24).
Section b. RICHMOND to DANVILLE; 155.3 m. US 36o.
Southwest of Richmond US 360 traverses a country of small farms and scattered villages with here and there a plantation established prior to the Revolution. In the middle section are scenes of the stirring events of the last tragic days of the Confederate army, as Lee's troops retreated westward from Petersburg. Near Danville bright leaf tobacco dominates country and village life; tobacco fields and curing barns are constantly in sight. In RICHMOND, 0 m., US 36o runs south on 14th St. to Hull St. and straight ahead on Hull St.
At 22.7 m. is a junction with County 605
Left here to State 153, 4.9 m., and R. to abandoned water-filled pits of the CLOVER HILL MINES, 5.7 m., opened about 1840. These workings were in the Richmond coal basin, a low grade bituminous seam developed in 1770. As early as 1789 Richmond coal was shipped to Philadelphia.
State 153 becomes County 602, which continues to County 664, 6.4 m.; L. here to the mile-long entrance lane (L), 8.1 m., of EPPINGTON, built in the 1730's. The two-and-a-half story central block of the house is flanked by one-story wings, designed with beautiful proportions. The walls of beaded weatherboard rise to a denticulated cornice under the eaves of a steep hip roof. Richard Eppes built the house on the plantation inherited from his father, Colonel Francis Eppes.
The crossroads settlement, SKINQUARTER, at 23.6 m., was so named, according to the story, because Indians gathered at a spring close by after hunts to skin and quarter their game.
The highway dips to cross the Appomattox River at GOODE'S BRIDGE, 29.2 m. Near by in July 17 8 1 General 'Mad Anthony' Wayne's Continentals took position to halt British troops, moving southward. On April 3, 1865, Hill's, Longstreet's, and Gordon's Corps of Lee's army crossed here in retreat from Petersburg.
At 36.7 m. is a junction with County 6og.
t here to ST.JOHN'S CHURCH (L), 3 m., first called Grubhill Church. The little brick building among old trees is simple, with high pitched roof, tall chimneys, and arched windows holding small, diamond-shaped panes. Erected in 1855, it replaced a church built before 1768. One Sunday, at the outbreak of the Revolution the Reverend John Brunskill, rector of the parish, arose and, 'seeing men dressed in regimentals, called them rebels and expressed himself indignantly to see such indications of a general rebellion . . . Whereupon nearly everyone . . . got up and left the house, not before warning him, however, never to repeat such language or he would receive harsh treatment added to disrespect.' The Tory parson was not allowed to hold further services but retained the title of rector and lived at the glebe until his death in 1803, 'after a solitary and uncomfortable life.'
The SITE OF THE FOREST (R) is at 6.4 m. This was the birthplace of John Banister Tabb (18451909), who was 17 when war broke out in 1861. Barred from army service by poor eyesight, he enlisted as captain's clerk on the blockade-runner, Robert E. Lee. In 1884 he entered the Roman Catholic priesthood and was later a member of the faculty of St.Charles College in Maryland. His poems had much popularity in the South.
At 9.9 m., by a junction with County 637, is a water-powered GRIST Mill (R) that has ground grain since about 1830. Left here 2 m. to THE WIGWAM (R), built by William B. Giles, congressman and governor of Virginia (1827-30). The frame house, now much dilapidated and marred by a late two-story porch, is T-shaped with deep, sloping roof pierced by dormers. The interior woodwork is richly carved.
AMELIA, 37.8 m. (333 alt., 887 POP-), seat and trading center of Amelia County, spreads small stores, filling stations, and warehouses along the highway. The green and shady Courthouse Square is bordered by a bank building, lawyers'offices, and small homes in flowery yards.
By the narrow margin of a few hours Amelia Courthouse escaped both a final battle in the War between the States, and the surrender. On April 4, 1865, Lee's harassed army arrived here on its retreat from Petersburg, failed to find expected provisions, and remained a day while foraging parties had frequent clashes with Federal cavalry and lost about 200 wagons. On the evening of the Sth, with Grant at Nottoway Courthouse to find the town evacuated. At Sailor's Creek that afternoon three Federal columns struck Lee's moving lines, captured 8,000 men, but failed to stop the retreat.
The AMELIA COUNTY COURTHOUSE, a red brick and white columned building, was built in 1924. Amelia County was created in 1734 from Prince George and Brunswick Counties and named for Princess Amelia, daughter of George II. Under the trees in the square is the CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL, a stalwart bronze soldier. In the CLERK'S OFFICE is a letter Patrick Henry wrote in 1797; in it he said that, 'having got some money,' he was in the market for a tract of land -- his perpetual state of mind.
Left from Amelia on State 38 to County 614, 1 m., and R. to DENNISVIFLLE, a hamlet that was the birthplace of Virginia Hawes Terhune (1831-1922), better known as Marion Harland, pioneer newspaper woman and versatile writer. Beginnmig before she was 16 with an article, 'Marrying through Prudential Motives,'which was published in Godey's Magazine, she wrote fiction, travel books, and lectured on various subjects, but her greatest reputation was as the author of cook books and syndicated newspaper articles on household topics.
JETERSVILLE, 46.5 m. (428 alt., Ioc, pop.), is a post office, store, and a few frame houses. While Lee's army was at Amelia, a partial Federal concentration took place here.
Right from Jetersville on County 642 to County 616, 7.8 tn., and R. to PAINESVILLE, 8.4 m., a handful of houses so named because a Tom Paine Infidel Club was organized here in Y.8oo. In this vicinity on the afternoon of April 5, x865, Sheridan's cavalry destroyed more than 200 Confederate supply wagons.
At 50.6 m. on US 36o is a junction with County 63 1.
Left here to County 61g, 2.3 m., and L. to a dirt road, 4.6 m.; L. again to the SITE or WEST CREEK, 4.9 m., home of Colonel Benjamin Ward. Here in July 1781 Peter Francisco, Virginia's Hercules of the Revolutionary War (see Tour 3), met in handtohand combat some of Tarleton's raiding dragoons, killed one, and seized their horses. Francisco fought off the dragoons with his broadsword and, pretending that Colonial troops were near, called lustily for help. The raiders made off, abandoning their dead comrade and nine horses. A popular steel engraving depicting the episode shows the dragoons falling back in terror, while the hero, his hair a bit ruffled, suffers only the loss of a garter.
JENNINGS' ORDINARY, at 52.9 m., is a scattered group of white frame dwellings named for an old stage station that has been so much remodeled as to have lost all semblance of antiquity.
Left here on County 615 to County 630, 3.6 m., and R. to MOUNTAIN HALL (L), 4.1 m., with high pitched hip roof and front and side porticos. The house was built about i8oo by Dr.James Jones, who served in Congress and was a surgeon in the War of 1812.
At 56.3 m. on US 36o is a junction with US 46o.
Left here to PIEDMONT SANATORIUM (L), 0. 7 m., a 150-bed State institution for the treatment of Negro tuberculosis patients.
In CREWE, 4.2 m. (2,15 2 pop.), business, and residential areas flank the huge Norfolk & WesternRy. roundhouse, Y.M.C.A. building, and yards. At the southeastern edge of town stands a new hosiery mill that migrated hither when Crewe citizens offered special inducements.
NOTTOWAY, 8.5 m. (50 POP.), seat of Nottoway County, is a handful of county buildings, dwellings, and a general store that may well be those described in Martin's Gazetteer of 1835: 'a courthouse, clerk's office and criminal and debtor's jail, besides IS dwelling houses, one mercantile house, one hotel, one saddler, one tailor and one blacksmith shop . . . population seventy persons.' On April 5, 186S, General Grant spent the night here.
The NOTTOWAY COUNTY COURTHOUSE, built in the 1830's, is a red brick structure with low wings and a white pedimented portico. Guarding its front entrance is the CONFEDERATE MONUMENT, a little soldier leaning wearily on his gun. Federal troopers ransacked the county clerk's office, hacked record books, and threw them into the courtyard horse trough. In one is scrawled 'Abraham Lincoln, President of Virginia 1865.'
The SITE OF ROSE HILL (R) is at 10.7 m. This was the birthplace of Roger A. Pryor (1828-igig), newspaper man, minister to Greece (1855), and congressman (1857-59). In 1861, having failed in efforts to influence secession in Virginia, he went to South Carolina where he made speeches urging that 'a first blow be struck.' 'The very moment,' he declared, 'that blood is shed Old Virginia will make common cause with her sisters of the South.' He was one of the four aides of General P. G.T.Beauregard. After the war he practiced law in New York, where he was a justice of the State supreme court.
BLACKSTONE, 15.3 m. (423 alt., 1772 POP.), is a tobacco market and trading center known before 1885 as Black's and White's for two taverns that faced each other across the route of the Petersburg-North Carolina stage.
Bishop James Cannon,jr. (I 864- ) was president of the college here from 1894 to 1918. As superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of Virginia, he gained both limelight and political influence. In 1028 under his leadership Virginia voted against Alfred E. Smith, momentarily joining the Republican ranks.
BLACKSTONE COLLEGE, a Methodist Episcopal junior college for young women, is housed in buildings of modern design on a 34-acre campus at the edge of the town. Its student body numbers about 200.
BURKEVILLE, 5 7.3 m. (515 alt., 775 POP.), straddles the tracks of the railroads that cross here. As the railroad stop for the community near Burke's Tavern, the place was first called Burke's junction. Tarleton's British dragoons came here pil laging in July 1781, and in June 1864 Union cavalry, in order to cut off Confederate supplies to Richmond and Petersburg, tore up railroad tracks in the vicinity. On April 3, 1865, Jefferson Davis and cabinet passed through as they fled from Richmond to Danville; and three days later Union troops, pursuing the retreating Confederates, camped here.
In July Miss Ella G. Agnew was appointed State Home Demonstration Agent with Burkeville as her base and a program began in Nottoway and Halifax Counties that has provided an example for similar work among rural women all over the country.
Left from Burkeville on State 49 to the SITE OF NoTTOWAY MEETING HOUSE (R), 3.3. m. Granite blocks mark the four corners of a church built in 1769.
A handful of houses called HUNGRYTOWN, 10.7 m., was really named Hungarytown, for Hungarian settlers.
In VICTORIA, 16 m. (1,568 pop.), primarily an industrial town, haphazard rows of twostory red brick and frame buildings house drug stores, the variety store, the groceries, the 'cafe,' and dry goods emporia. The town has grown up around the shops of the Virginian Railway, a line carrying coal from West Virginia to Virginia seaports. The town ships lumber, some furniture, and silk. To bring the silk mill here, local citizens provided the plant and gave a period of tax-exemption.
I. Left (straight ahead) from Victoria 6.5 m. on State 40 to KENBRIDGE (753 pop.), which vies with Petersburg and South Hill as a leading market for bright tobacco. Among the usual rows of small stores are four tobacco warehouses, a tobacco redrying plant, a fertilizer plant, a cotton gin, and a flour mill. During the tobacco season the streets are as lively as those of much larger towns.
Right from Kenbridge 2.4 m. on County 63 7 to the SITE OF CRAIG'S MILL (L), operated in early days by James Craig, a Baptist minister. In July 1781 Tarleton's British raiders came here to carry off flour and meal, only to find that Craig, warned of their approach, had dumped his stock into the mill stream. The disappointed redcoat burned the mill, put the parson to work butchering his hogs for their use, and carried off his slaves.
2. Right from Victoria on State 49, here united with State 40, is LUNENBURG, 19.1 In. (35 POP.), seat of Lunenburg County, with a pleasant cluster of county buildings an unusually attractive country inn that dates from 1803, half a dozen substantial hite frame dwellings and a general store. The little crossroads settlement was incorporated in 18 16 as Lewiston.
The red brick COURTHOUSE, with an Ionic portico, was erected in 1826. Lunenburg County was cut from Brunswick County in 1746; its area has since been broken up into ten counties. Lunenburg was called The Old Free State in 1861, when its fiery citizens, irked at the delay of the Virginia Convention called to consider secession, threatened, in case Virginia should remain in the Union, to secede from the State and Nation.
At 58.1 m. on US 36o is a junction with County 62 1.
Right here to BURKE'S TAVERN (R), 1.3 m., built in 173 1. Now a dwelling, the two-and-a-half-story structure, with red brick first story and weatherboarded upper section, deep pitched roof and tall outside end chimneys, was a famous stage tavern stop.
GREEN BAY, 65.2 m. (588 alt., ioc, pop.), with a consolidated school and general stores, is a shipping point for pulpwood and railroad ties.
MEHERRIN, 68.7 m. (585 alt., 2oc, pop.), spreads along the highway with stores and small frame dwellings.
At 75.7 m. is a junction with US 15 (see Tour 3), which unites with US 360 for 19.7 miles.
At BARNES JUNCTION, 95.3 m., is the southern junction with US 15 (see Tour 3a)
Left here on State 47 to CHASE CITY, 8.6 m. (1,590 pop.), a tobacco market and trading center for farmers. Among the stores, tobacco warehouses, comfortable homes, and churches, a motion picture house with ultra-modern decorations is conspicuous.
CLOVER, 104.8 m. (486 alt., 2 5 1 pop.), its main street a mixture of business places and white frame homes, shade trees, and flowery yards, is a rural trading and social center. From this place, on the night of April 5, 1865, John S. Wise, 19-year-old son of the former governor, Henry A. Wise, secretly carried a telegram from President Davis, then at Danville, to General Lee, at Farniville. Leaving Farmville on April 7 with Lee's reply, young Wise recrossed the Federal lines and made his way back to Danville.
At 111.5 m. is a junction with County 725 and State 304.
I. Left on County 725 through SCOTTSBURG, 2.3 m. (100 pop.), to County 716, 7.3 m.; R. here 2.2 m. to FALKLAND FARM (L), a 7,ooo-acre hunting preserve with a rambling, white frame house on a hill. Here Henry Sydnor Harrison 1880-1930) began to write the novels that were popular in the early part of the twentieth centuryQueed, V. V.'s Eyes, and Angela's Business.
On County 725, at 10.8 m., is STAUNTON RIVER STATE PARK (open May 15 to Nov. I; adm. ioo, children under 10 free, overnight camping, 250; cabins $15 a weekfor 2 persons, $2o a weekfor 4, $5 for each additional person; reservations made at Virginia Conservation Commission, Richmond). This large recreational area contains a swimming pool and a wading pool.
2. Left from US 36o on State 304 to BANISTER LODGE (L), 2.1 m., a gaunt two-and-a-half story brick dwelling incorporating parts of the 20-room house built here about 182o by William H. Clark, whose wife was a granddaughter of Patrick Henry.
At 118.4 m. is a junction with US 501, which unites with US 360 to HALIFAX, 119.2 m. (753 pop.), seat of Halifax County. This charming town typifies the rural centers of romantic fiction, with a green and shady courthouse square, quiet-looking stores, and white-pillared homes set far back from the street among old oaks, magnolias, and evergreens. The only business is trade and county legal affairs, though in 1860 new railroad facilities caused it to change its name from Banister to Houston for a railroad executive, who was to be asked to send factories into the town. Unfortunately, the committee sent to New York to acquaint the gentleman with his new honor made the disastrous mistake of mispronouncing his name. Whereupon he denied his interest in the town and thereafter influenced no industries to come. In 1920 the little community went back to its historic designation as the county town of Halifax County.
GRAND OAKS, Main Street, in grounds beautiful with shrubbery, boxwood, and giant oaks, is a spacious red brick mansion with a whitecolumned two-story portico.
REST-A-WHILE, adjacent, a brick and white columned structure in traditional style, was called Elm Hill by its builder, Captain Henry Edmunds.
STJOHN'S CHURCH, diagonally across Main Street, is a nineteenth-century brick structure painted white, without ornament except fluted pilasters set into the walls and an octagonal cupola from which rises a slender spire. The Reverend Charles Dresser, rector here from 1823 to 1831, migrated to Illinois, where he performed the marriage ceremony of Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd in 1842.
The METHODIST CHURCH, in the same block, built in 1827 as the first Episcopal church, was bought by the Methodists when StJohn's was built. Its brick bulk is relieved by a cupola.
OLD MASONIC TEMPLE, a simple red brick structure, was built about 1830.
HALIFAX COURTHOUSE, of red brick with white columned portico, stands among tall trees in a green square surrounded by a stone wall. At one side is a row of tiny red brick lawyers' offices and in front is the CONFEDERATE MONUMENT, the usual soldier on a pedestal. The county, organized in 1752 and then including what is now Halifax, Pittsylvania, Henry, Franklin, and Patrick Counties, was named for the Earl of Halifax. The first seat was at Peytonsburg now in Pittsylvania County. In 1800 it was established here.
In Halifax is a junction with US 501.
West of Halifax the highway runs between small farms, where tobacco is the chief crop and the fields are dotted with clay-chinked log barns in which the leaf is cured. Not even crossroads hamlets break the rural scene for many miles.
At 154.2 m. is a junction with US 29 (see Tour 4), which unites with US 36o into DANVILLE, 155.3 m. (408 alt., 22,247 POP.), spread over hills that slope gradually toward a wide bend in the Dan River.
This aggressive city, typical of the New South, is one of Virginia's purely industrial cities. While tobacco is the backbone of income in its shipping and trading activities, cotton manufacturing dominates the city. On both sides of the river sprawl huge textile mills and at the western edge of the city are more acres of red brick mills, fenced in and surrounded by a company town with rows of houses and the usual facilities of an independent community. Yet Danville is a Main Street town. An artery, on which seven main highways converge, climbs from the river on North Main Street through a cramped area of cotton mills and pungent, cavernous tobacco warehouses, redrying, and storage plants; reaches a business section where neon signs imitate the rainbow at night, and a I2-story Masonic Temple, an opulent-looking Municipal building of conventional classic design, and a new Federal building give a metropolitan touch; and as West Main Street climbs again to the residential area where impressive homes, two junior colleges, and Ballou Park with miles of road through natural woodland show the profits of industrial activity. In this prosperous upper area is Lady Astor Street, named for a local daughter, one of the Langhorne beauties, who became a member of the British Parliament.
As Virginia cities go, Danville is young. It boasts of no tavern where Washington spent a night, no home where La Fayette was feted, and among its many stores is not one 'antique shoppe' to lure tourists with spinning wheels and old glass. But the city slogan 'Danville Does Things' rests on solid achievements. The large mills annually turn an average of 6o,000,000 pounds of cotton into textiles, and smaller ones convert some of the textiles into garments. At the heart of the 'old belt' of bright tobacco growing, it gathers for a world market the flue-cured leaf known in the tobacco world as U.S. Type ii, basis of various cigarette blends and mainstay of the world's cigarette industry. In the late summer its auction warehouses, with floor space for selling 2,250,000 pounds of leaf daily, resound with the singsong jargon of auctioneers, and buyers, led by bidders for the 'big four' of American cigarette corporations and for the two that dominate European markets, make the signs that bring prosperity or ruin to the tobacco farmer.
In 1876 Danville adopted the principle of municipal ownership of public utilities. The municipally owned water, electric power, and gas plants return nearly a $500,000 yearly into city coffers. Results are municipal solvency, low service charges-which attracts industries-and one of the lowest real estate tax rates in the State. The city has turned down fat bids for its utilities by private interests and has provided a backlog of future cheap power by establishing, with Federal aid, a gigantic development at the headwaters of the Dan, 82 miles away (see Tour 7)
Like other tobacco-market towns, Danville began as an inspection warehouse. In 1793, Piedmont planters, irked by the hardship of rolling hogsheads over red clay roads to Richmond or Petersburg for the required inspection, petitioned the legislature for inspection facilities at this central point by the river. The petition was granted and trustees were appointed to take over 25 acres of land, which were to be divided and sold in halfacre lots. Inspection began at once, but it was two years before the first tier of lots, hugging the old Salisbury road, now Main Street, was offered for sale.
Early tobacco marketing was a haphazard business. Many inland growers sold their tobacco by the acre or barnful, letting the buyer worry about getting it out. First impetus to Danville's growth was improvement of river transportation, which began about 1820 when the Roanoke Navigation Company built a canal around the falls and opened the way for bateaux carrying tobacco to ships in Albemarle Sound. Real expansion began when the organized auction warehouse system was introduced in 1852 though the first was a small, poorly-lighted structure and a Negro advertised the sales by blowing a horn along the streets.
Though Danville escaped material damage during the War between the States, its position at the junction with the railroad bringing food and military supplies to Richmond and the fighting zone from Atlanta and gulf ports made it a valuable base. Idle tobacco warehouses were turned into hospitals, and one became a prison for captured Yankees. For seven days--April 3-10, 1865 -- Danville was the capital of the fast dying Confederacy. When the Richmond Petersburg area was evacuated, President Davis and his Cabinet came to Danville, and here the President called the last full cabinet meeting and issued his last official proclamation, going to a newspaper office to see it set up and printed. When news of Lee's surrender came on April io, Davis set out immediately for Greensboro, N.C. The same day Governor William (Extra-Billy) Smith arrived on horseback from Richmond, having stopped first at Lynchburg. For five days thereafter the town was the seat of the State administration.
Danville's industrial era began in 1881 with the opening of a small yam mill. The Riverside Mill, parent of the.present Riverside and Dan River Cotton Mills, was organized in 1882 and by 1890 had taken over a small rival, Morotock Mills. With the harnessing of the Falls of the Dan to create cheap electric power, and the influx of cheap labor from farms and mountain settlements, the business has grown fairly steadily. In 1931, 4,000 textile workers struck, demanding union recognition in a wage dispute. The strike, which loomed large in National importance as an early attempt by organized labor to capture textile strongholds in the South, began in September with a huge parade led by blaring bands, mass meetings with National organizers exhorting the strikers, meetings of those with sympathy for the mill owners, and charges and countercharges. By midwinter the strike had dwindled to a bitter endurance test, with bread lines, soup kitchens, evictions from mill houses, and the guns of the National Guard policing the mill districts. The affair ended in early spring, ne ther side conceding defeat.
The CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL MANSION, Main St. between Sutherlin library, with periodical, reference, lending, and reading rooms, occupies the first floor of this house. A Negro branch circulates more than 2,000 volumes monthly from quarters in the Langston Negro High School on Gay Street.
AVERETT COLLEGE, West Main St., in well-shaded grounds, has a handsome fourstory main building with high white columned portico. Behind this are the dormitory, gymnasium, the science and music halls, an open air theater, and athletic fields. This junior college for young women is operated under the Baptist General Association of Virginia. Founded in 1859, before ig io it had been called Union Female College, Roanoke Female College, Roanoke College for Women, and Roanoke Institute, when after the construction of new buildings it assumed its present name.
DANVILLE MILITARY INSTITUTE, S. Main St., a preparatory school, occupies a group of turreted, vine-covered, gray stone buildings on a beavilywooded campus. Founded in 1920 as a private school, in 192 1 it passed to !he control of the Presbyterian Synod of Virginia. In 1933 military training was dropped and it became the Virginia Presbyterian School; but in 1937 it again became the Danville Military Institute.
STRATFORD COLLEGE, iiig Main Street, another junior college for young women, with STRATFORD HALL, a preparatory school, occupies an ivy-clad red brick and white porticoed building. During the century of its history the institution has been the Danville Female College, Danville College for Young Ladies, Randolph-Macon College, and Stratford.
In Danville are junctions with US 58 (see Tour 7b) and US 29 (see Tour 4).

Author Notes: Pizzelle are a holiday tradition in my mother's family, who hail from the Abruzzi region of Italy, where pizzelle are traditional confections. Every year, my mom and grandma would stand over multiple irons, scooping the dough and pressing the cookies. Extension cords were necessary, as each woman wielded multiple pizzelle irons. My mom and grandma loved to flavor the cookies either anise or orange.
Today, I proudly own four pizzelle irons and Meyer Lemon is one of my favorite flavors. I decided to sub Meyer Lemon zest in the batter last year and the resultant batch was one of my best ever. Some tweaking of my grandmother's recipe resulted in beautifully crisp, white snowflakes with flecks of gold. For dinner parties, you can form the pizzelle into cups by draping the hot cookie over a drinking glass or ramekin. Fill with pastry cream, curd, or mousse and fresh fruit. Pizzelle make great waffle cones and cups, and are a perfect match for gelato. —Hilarybee
Food52 Review: Hillarybee's pizzelle are lovely crisp, buttery vanilla cookies perfumed with Meyer lemon. The touch of orange extract really makes the citrus shine. Plus, they are beautiful. Once the batter is made, it only takes a few seconds to create a beautifully patterned thin cookie. The simple pizzelle would be excellent served with any of the suggestions in Hillarybee's notes, or ice cream and fruit or sandwiched with a little bit of lemon curd. —Stephanie Bourgeois
Makes: 40-50 depending on iron size
1 3/4
cups Granulated Sugar
Large Eggs, room temp
Sticks of Butter, melted and cooled
teaspoons Vanilla Extract
teaspoon Pure Orange Extract
Zest of 3 Meyer Lemons
teaspoons Baking Powder
cups All-Purpose Flour, spooned into measuring cup
- Combine the sugar and eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat on medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes until well incorporated. The eggs must be at least room temperature. Cold eggs will result in an unworkable batter.
- Slowly drizzle the melted butter into the mixture, while mixing on medium speed. Add the extracts then the zest.
- On low speed, add the flour 1/2 cup at a time. Alternate between medium and low speed while beating in the flour. (I turn it to low while pouring in the flour; medium to incorporate the flour before adding more).
- The batter should have a satin sheen to it, but should be light and stiff. If your batter is too liquid, add more flour, a tablespoon at a time until the batter is stiff.
- Using a tablespoon scoop, place dollops of batter into the iron. Repeat 20-25 more times depending on iron size. The cookies take about 25-30 seconds in the iron. Fresh, hot cookies can be rolled or shaped into cups.

Well, you could log process start/stops and flush them to disk or syslog them, so that at least when the system crashes it would be possible to derive a list of everything that was still running. Doubt this will help much though, since the most likely culprit is a bad stick of memory, in which case the netconsole or IPMI or MCE messages may be enough to figure out which stick is the problem. That is, whichever process triggered it is probably an innocent bystander. Regards, David Mathog mathog at caltech.edu Manager, Sequence Analysis Facility, Biology Division, Caltech

Roughly 400 people protested Thursday outside the consulates of Hungary and Azerbaijan, decrying the release and pardon of an Azerbaijani soldier convicted of killing an Armenian military officer with an ax.
The murder of Gurgen Markarian occurred in 2004 at a military academy in Budapest set up by NATO.
The Azerbaijani soldier, Ramil Safarov, was convicted of the murder and sentenced to at least 25 years in prison without the possibility of parole.
He was extradited to Azerbaijan last month after officials there pledged to uphold his sentence, but upon arriving on his native soil, he was released and pardoned.
The Armenian parliament subsequently suspended ties with Hungary. Azerbaijan and Armenia have been locked in a violent conflict over disputed border territory for more than two decades.
The demonstration Thursday was organized by a number of groups, including the Armenian Youth Federation and Unified Young Armenians, and attracted hundreds of people waving signs with slogans calling for justice on behalf of Markarian.
William Bairamian, executive director of the Armenian National Committee-Western region, said that after Azerbaijan promoted the killer as a hero, the country showed its true colors.
"Hungary has to apologize about its decision and has to require that Azerbaijan return the criminal to prison," he said.
Many of the protesters were bused in from Glendale.
"We thought it was the stupidest decision any world leader, of any sane country, would have done," said Angela Barseghian, an attorney who lives in Glendale. She was referring to reports that Safarov was hailed as a hero upon his return.
"This just means you can't sit at the table and negotiate with a country that has a president that rewards and honors terrorists," she added.
L.A. City Councilman Paul Krekorian also attended the protest, as did Levon Marashlian, a history professor at Glendale Community College, who summed up much of the renewed distrust in the crowd.
"How can anyone trust Azerbaijan after this?" he asked.
When asked how effective he thought protests regarding an issue thousands of miles away would be, Bairamian said, "We are here as citizens of the U.S. protesting against a foreign government whose representatives are here."
Meanwhile, other governments have called for resolution of the conflict between the two states, fearing it could threaten a tenuous cease-fire reached between Armenia and Azerbaijan following the bloodshed in the 1990s.
Armenia's president, Serzh Sarkisian, told Agence France-Presse that his country was prepared to go to war over the issue.
"We don't want a war, but if we have to, we will fight and win," he told the news agency. "We are not afraid of killers, even if they enjoy the protection of the head of state."

Industry News
VIP Rewards Program at Salon Ingá in Florida
Salon Ingá in Tampa, Florida, launched a VIP Membership program at the beginning of 2014 to offer exclusive rewards to dedicated clients.
Special offers are available to VIP members each month as an incentive for VIP clients to try out services that they perhaps wouldn't usually consider trying out. The membership is $50 annually and includes six services clients can utilize any time during the year, including:
-Express pedicure
-Express manicure
-Brow shaping or lash tint
-Express facial treatment (Lamina Lift Mask)
-Shampoo and style
-Eye contour treatment
Additionally, VIP members receive an ongoing 10 percent off Health Bar treatments (conditioning treatments), 10 percent off retail, 15 percent off cosmetics and exclusive VIP-only event invites.
We spoke with Tanja Handing, salon coordinator for Salon Ingá, about how the new program is affecting and growing her business. She says that 30 memberships have sold as of mid-February, and they anticipate continuing the program indefinitely.
Handing foresees the program helping out her salon's business and clientele in several ways. "We think it will definitely boost some of our add-on services (i.e. facial waxing, lash tinting, conditioning treatments, Repêchage Facial Bar services) and give guests the confidence to try something the might not have otherwise tried," Handing says. "Of course we all want to be successful in our industry, but making sure clients continue to feel special remains our number-one priority; that's what really matters to us."
Before Salon Ingá launched its VIP program, it hosted a VIP Holiday Thank You event at the end of 2013 and invited 35 of its top-paying guests. Champagne and appetizers were served while guests and stylists mingled, and then there was a 20-minute focus session to discuss some of clients' ideas for 2014.
The salon employees pitched the idea of the VIP service, which the clients were all enthusiastic about, according to Handing. As a thank-you for their business, the one year of the VIP membership was given to the guests for free. It served as a way to show them they were appreciated as well as a method to get the always-sought-after word-of-mouth advertisement that fuels salons everywhere.
For salons considering a similar program, Handing offers some advice.
"Think about why you are really offering it," Handing says, citing that their motivation comes from giving back to their guests as a thank-you. "We also think it's a great program to help build your younger team members. It really helps them get comfortable and gain confidence in offering special add-on treats. They see what it does to make their guests' experiences all that more special and also see what it can do to boost their service/retail sales."
But for Handing and Salon Ingá, the main goal remains the same: Catering to those who keep the salon alive. "Everyone likes to be a part of something special," Handing says. "Your guests aren't any different."

Is Linux Kernel Development Slowing Down?
Linux Kernel Juggernauts Along
The Linux Foundation's newly-released "Who Writes Linux" report shows some interesting trends into who is contributing to Linux in 2010 -- and yes, Canonical is on the list.
Linux developers continue to push out new kernels at rapid pace, though over the course of the last year the pace of new code commits has slowed, according to a new report from the Linux Foundation.
The report also notes that the top contributors to Linux kernel development have shifted over the last year to include more contributions from mobile vendors. The new report from the Linux Foundation is the third annual 'Who Writes Linux' report, summarizing kernel contributions and activities over the past year.
According to the 2010, 'Who Writes Linux' report, the number of code commits to the recent 2.6.35 kernel was 18 percent lower than the 2.6.30 kernel which was released in 2009. There are a number of reasons why kernel code commits have slowed over the past year, including new processes for staging code.
"I think the staging tree additions have something to do with it since it rather inflated the previous version," Amanda McPherson, co-author of the report and vice-president of marketing and developer programs at The Linux Foundation told InternetNews.com.
The report explains that a code staging tree was started with the 2.6.28 kernel. That initial stating tree effort started a process that merged lots of out-of-tree code into the main Linux kernel. According to the report, by the 2.6.31 development cycle, that process was slowing down as the backlog of code was taken care of. The report goes on to note that new drivers are still entering the mainline Linux kernel by way of the staging tree, but at rate that is closer to the rate of actual development.
While the pace of new commits may not be at the same level as there were a year ago, the overall tally is still impressive. According to the report, since the 2.6.30 kernel, 9,058 lines of code were added every day to the Linux kernel, including weekends and holidays.
Taking an even broader look at kernel development, over the last five and half years, between the 2.6.11 kernel in 2005 and 2.6.35 kernel release in 2010, there was an average of 4.02 patches applied to the kernel tree, every hour.
After a kernel is released, it is maintained for a period of time and updated with patches as required. Some kernel's get updated more than others, in particular the 2.6.32 kernel was updated with more fixes than any other kernel in the past five years. According to the report, the 2.6.32 kernel received 1,793 fixes in total. McPherson noted that the Linux kernel 2.6.32 is receiving stable updates for relatively long periods of time for a number of reasons.
"It is being used as the base for RHEL6, SLES11, and, as I recall, an Ubuntu LTS release," McPherson said. "So there has been a focused effort to continue to provide updates for this kernel, with contributions from many distributors. 2.6.32 is still getting updates now, even though 2.6.33-35 have been discontinued."

February snowstorms shut over 450 Gap Inc. stores, or about 15% of its total, for at least a day in the U.S. and Japan. That led to the largest U.S. specialty clothing retailer to report late Thursday a surprise 7% drop in last month's same-store sales, its worst in three years. The declines were across the board at its three key brands: Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic. At Gap brand, the company's largest unit representing about two-fifth of its sales, sales fell 10%.
At Old Navy, slightly smaller than Gap at also about 40% of total, the company blamed a shift in timing of its "super cash redemption period," which this year fell entirely in January compared to last year when February also got some boost.
However, beyond the usual weather impact and timing in promotions, some analysts pointed to Gap's own merchandising missteps. Gap /quotes/zigman/227242/delayed /quotes/nls/gps GPS didn't touch on that in a recorded call late Thursday.
At the Gap brand, "they transitioned too early to the 'sorbet' true spring colors and didn't have a true 'wear now' offer for typically colder and transitional February seasonality," Janney Capital Markets analyst Adrienne Tennant told MarketWatch. She also said products out on the shelves were too basic. While the company has on-trend and other novelty styles featuring the likes of floral patterns and horizontal stripes, that merchandise hasn't been displayed "in any meaningful way" to differentiate its assortment, she said.
Analyst Jennifer Black at the firm bearing her name agreed Gap's assortment for February "was too aggressive", too brightly colored, and lacking items people could actually wear right now. She said at Banana Republic, where sales fell 7%, women's product sales continued to lag those for men.
Still, despite the disappointments, Wall Street analysts were mixed on what to do about the stock.
Black said she remains a fan of the company despite its rocky start to the year.
"We feel there's work to be done across all three brands," she said. "But once there is a dramatic improvement in the product, we feel things could change very quickly, which bodes well for the bottom line."
Black also pointed to Old Navy's new commercial featuring Amy Poehler as a positive.
Tennant at Janney, who also keeps her buy rating, noted February only represents about a quarter of Gap's total sales for the fiscal first quarter. "While we continue to remain cautious given the highly promotional mall environment, we have confidence that the company is well positioned to drive (per-share profit) growth by managing elements within its control," she said.
RBC analyst Howard Tubin, on the other hand, said he's keeping his sector perform rating.
"There are glimpses of improved and differentiated product" based on early spring merchandise we've seen, he said. "However, the overall aesthetic across chains does seem to err on the more basic side of things. Given the return of negative comps and our view that they remain negative through 1Q, we believe multiple expansion is unlikely."
The timing of a later Easter this year versus last year will also likely hurt March sales, analysts said.

text: London - England captain Alastair Cook believes the team's best limited overs days are ahead of them even though they are now again the world's top-ranked side in 50-over international cricket. Cook's men briefly lost their place at the summit of the standings after a heavy defeat by South Africa in Southampton last week. But they bounced back in London following wins by four and six wickets in the one-day internationals (ODIs) at The Oval and Lord's respectively. Sunday's success at Lord's gave England a 2-1 lead in a five-match campaign heading into Wednesday's finale in Nottingham and meant South Africa could no longer achieve the series victory they needed to extend their brief stay at number one. Meanwhile Australia's recent defeat by Pakistan in Abu Dhabi scuppered their hopes of overtaking England at the head of the standings before the year is out. "It's certainly not a bad thing," Cook, who last week also became England's Test captain after the retirement of Andrew Strauss, said of being number one. "But I think we feel this side has its future ahead of it, rather than behind it," explained the 27-year-old opening batsman, who will hope to lead England to a maiden World Cup title in Australia and New Zealand in 2015. Cook, a member of the England side that lost its position at the head of the Test standings to South Africa earlier this season, added: "We're still striving to improve in all areas. "We've only been together for a year or so. We've had some really good results, but certainly don't feel like the number one side -- like we did when we got there as a Test team." England suffered an 80 run-hammering in Southampton but bounced back well. Sunday's win at Lord's saw them, albeit after Cook won the toss in overcast conditions, restrict South Africa to 220 for eight. They then overcame the early loss of Cook to make 224 for four with man-of-the-match Ian Bell, revelling in his new role as a one-day opener, scoring 88 and putting on 141 with Warwickshire colleague Jonathan Trott (48). "Clearly after what's happened this summer, we could have let our heads go down -- a bit of a case of 'here we go again'," said Cook. "We admitted we didn't get it right at the Ageas Bowl (in Southampton), and we've bounced back really well. "We've still got a series to win, but I'm very proud of what we've done this weekend in back-to-back matches." Bell replaced Kevin Pietersen as an opener after the South Africa-born batsman briefly retired from limited overs internationals. Pietersen has since rescinded that decision but finds himself in England exile over issues of "trust and mutual respect". He was dropped following his 149 in the drawn second Test against the Proteas last month after it emerged he'd sent "provocative texts", some allegedly critical of his team-mates, to opposition players. But whatever the Test ramifications, Bell's form means Pietersen has not been missed in one-dayers. "It was a classy knock again. I say that time and time again when you watch Belly play," said Cook. "He has so much time, and he's delivering the goods at the top of the order. He's come back into the side, and he's been outstanding." Meanwhile South Africa captain AB de Villiers, disappointed with the way his side had failed to score enough runs for the second consecutive match, was pleased to still have the goal of a series-levelling victory in his sights. "I'd like to think the whole of the top six play as a unit and we haven't been performing well," said de Villiers. "There's no excuse, the guys are batting in the places they feel comfortable. "The positive thing is the series is still alive. We can level it, which would be a great achievement, and I really believe we can do that."

Wash. Post article refuted its own headline on judicial nominee Boyle
Research ››› ››› JOSH KALVEN
A Washington Post article on judicial nominee Terrence W. Boyle appeared under the false headline "N.C. Judge Has Spent 15 Years as a Nominee." In fact, as the article itself detailed, Boyle has spent only about five of the last 14 years as a nominee.
President George H.W. Bush first nominated North Carolina federal district court judge Boyle, a former staffer to former Sen. Jesse Helms (R-NC), to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit in October 1991. The Democrat-led Senate blocked his nomination, which was returned to the president in October 1992. As the Post reported, Helms was angry over the Senate's failure to confirm Boyle during Bush's term and protested by blocking several of President Clinton's 4th Circuit nominees. Clinton did not re-nominate Boyle, and eight years passed before President George W. Bush re-nominated him to the same court in May 2001.
To view the history of Boyle's 1991 nomination on the Library of Congress' Thomas website, check the civilian box, select the 102nd Congress and enter the name "Boyle" in the box under "Word/Phrase/Name," and then click the "search" button to the right.
