At the close of the business
session Brother Jinnett in a few
spoke about three quarters of an well chosen words on behalf of the
hour and his audience greatly en- Chapter presented a corsage of
joyed his discourse. Mr. Mebane Sweet peas to the Grand Worthy
spoke for about half an hour on Matron, Mrs. Mabel C. Mace the
the subject of the Problems of retiring Worthy Matron of Beau-
Reconstruction, particularly
the need in North Carolina for
improved health conditions, bet
ter roads and better school facil
ties.
After the speaking was con
cluded one of the best parts of
the picnic occurred. A long ta
ble qad been provided and this
was soon groaning under the
.weight of fried chicken, hams,
cakes and pies and other good
things that the good people of
the country had piovided for
their friends, everybody had a
fort Chapter and Mrs. Setzer.
Ice cream, cake and mints were
served on the lower floor where
hydadrangeas and evergreens
were very effectively used in the
decorations.
Picnic At Marshallbuf
' .Washington, D. C- The River
and Harbor Act approved March
2, 1919, contained provision for
preliminary examination ,: of
"Intracoastal "Waterway from
Beaufort, North Carolina to Cape
Fear .River.'? The- required ex
aminatitn has been made by the
District Engineer, and his report
thereon is favorable to the ex1
tent of recommending a survey
and ss estimate . for an inland
waterway 12 feet deep from
Beaufort, N. C; Cape Fear River.
In accordai.ee with law, the
report has been referred tot the
Board of Engineers., for Rivers
and Harbors ; for consideration
and recommendation. 'From : the
information presented, the Board
is not convinced of the advis
ability of the United Statea under
taking this improvement at the
present time for the . following
reasons.
This improvement would - be
an extension of the inland water
way front Norfolk to BeaufQrt
now under construction. While
work upon this section has been
in progress several years ana is
making headway; it is only about
50 per cent completed and there
fore a. similar, number ot years
may be expected to elaspe be
fore it is fully completed and its
efficiency tesfed. It, now carries
a tonnage of considerable amount
and importance, but this is orrty
a small fraction of ; what ' most
develop to justify, the ultimate
expenditure involved. Untill this J;
. i - J . I f .'. ...V....T
project -nas auvau-cu. lunwci
and the wisdom of the under
taking been more definitely de
termined, it'is not deemed ad
visable to enter "upon another
section of the waterway involv
ing a probable expenditure of
several millions of dollars and
