AH Northeastern Carolina 1* In
vited to attend a barbecue to I.?
given by the people of Bertie
County at Windsor on Wednesday,
December 31, to advance plans'
for the proposed bridge across the I
Chowan River at Edenton?a vi
tal link in the South Atlantic
Coastal Highway.
Announcement to this effect
was made today by Secretary Jo\'i
of the Elizabeth City Chamber of
Commerce, in behulf of Charles
Whedbee, of Hertford, chairman
L<of the North Carolina Coastal
? l^oute 30 Association. Mr. Wlied-|
rbee, in a letter to Mr. Job, urge?*;
i that every one in this suction in
terested in the bridge attend the 'I
barbecue.
t Bertie County is famous
throughout the State for its bar-J
f becues. Those who have been
guests at events of the kind in the
big county beyond the Chowan {
have sung the praises o/ Bertie |
far and wide. Preparations an
being made to entertain an 1m
^ mense crowd, according to Mr.
! Whedbee. An efTort will be made
to have Kiwanls and Rotary c!u\;.i
s throughout the coastal section of
i tho State send large delegations
Of their members to the even!
Wednesday week, as well ns hlgh
1 way bodies and other groups and
individuals interested.
Other Meeting* Planned
The barbecue follows a meet
ing held at New Bern two week*
ago in the Interest of the South
Atlantic Coastal Highway. Othei
similar events will be held from
i Ume to time at various points in
the territory affected. Action on
the bridge propotial will be asked
of the State Legislature In Janu
ary.
With reference to the present
1 need for a bridge across the Cho
wan, Secretary Job points out Hint
the two ferries now operating
from Edenton to , Mackeys and
Eden House, respectively, arL?
carrying an average of 55 cars a
a day. and taking an average toll of
F|2 per car, Including passengers,
r The ferries, he declares, are av-'
.^raging $1,000 a week. From
these figures, he explains. It is
readily seen that there would be
sufficient traffic immediately to
justify erection of the bri^pe.
Officials In Washington who ar?
In close touch with the tourist sit
uation, Mr. Job continues, esti
mate that half a million automo
biles carrying tourists will leav<
the capital for the South during
*1935. Of these It tls expected
that nine out of ten tourist par
ties will use the South Atlantic
Coastal Highway, due to the fact
that there are no hills to cliuih
along the way; the route passes,
through no large cities, with com
plicated and confusing trafTIc reg
ulations; aud the historic an 1
?cefiic attractions are numerous.
Itoute Extended
Instead of terminating at Wash
ington, as lftid been contemplated,
the coastal highway wiH continue
North to a terminus in Maine.
Fred Ward, secretary of the South
Atlantic Coastal Highway Associa
, tion, announces in a letter to Mr.
Job. Extension of the highway
was agreed upon at a recent meet
ing in Jacksonville, Florida. Mr.
Ward says, explalnln? that the ac
tion was tajy>n In response to re
quests fronf highway representa
tive from Pennsylvania. Dela
ware. Maryland, New York, and
Maine. This Is expected to in
crease traffic over the Southern
division of the highway to a ma
terial extent.

the I> -s hazardour o ? up.,:ion of
amnggling alien? Into the I'nlted
State? from Canada, according to
William Fly nit. ?11 r ?* c t (?;? in chargo
of this immigration district.
Two hundred nn-ii kef p wateh
ful eyes on some l 20o miles of
hordes line under .Mr. Fly no's di
rection. and it Is lip'Vltj/hfo that
this small force cannot keep un
der constant observation every
mile of the line.
There are two. principal meth
ods employed In Kinuggling aliens,
according to Mr. Flynn. One la
for the alien during Jo ? nler the
t'nlted Slat, to work his way to
some city nmr (he border ?mil
then watch for an opportunity to
walk across the border.
The other and more common
method la for veteran smngglerrt
to load an automobile with aliens
and drive across the border,
dumping Iti? m down at almost,
any place, with no particular re
gard as to ft;?? poss.hillty of the
aliens beinx taken Into cultoJy
within a abort time.
These srih'igglcr* Invariably
leave the alien with very little
money. Mr. Flynn dctltrw, ami it
l:t easy for the smuggler to aver
1 ag*? i i 00 for each person thus il
legally transported. As a rule
the for'-ignarn are driven only a
milo or I wo tierce thp border, but
occasionally .they are taken to
aomo town on the Hulled States
side# perhnpi several miles' from
the line. 1
While deportation hi h ? n
common practice, prosecution la
being followed n this dlntrlc and
"Is getting good results," Mr.
Flynn said, as "the prospects of
from l'"iree month*? to a yc.ir In
prison la not no Inviting 5 0 aliens

crowd of 1925 tourists into an

? The construction program of
'he Southern Pacific called for
tnc expenditure of I49.000.0U0
and about half thia sum will be
carried over for disbursement'?
during the coming year. Alto

and promises to develop valuable
trade with Mexico by tapping a re

The Atchibon Topeka and Santa
Fe road laid 135 miles of new
rails this year and will spend
S 11.000.000 for 119 miles of a t

season providing a double track

efject of these nnd similar pro
Juts on Merchants manufacturers

ov.T the country can scarcely be
estimated. The crushed rock ne
i cessary foi ballast by one carrier
alone has necessitated building of
at least three new rock crushing
plants during the year.
CJolil Mines iir ftnml Pits
? A gold mine has always stood
.as symbol of riches and prosperity
but the rock quarries and sand
ban k 4 of California in the past
year yielded more than the entire
gold production of that state.
Gold production from California
nines yielded approximately $14.
000 In 1924 but the amount of
retnent produced there wus valued
at $26.000.000, while sales of
? sand, gravel and crushed rock to
talled {15.000,000. Development
of lime deposits for Industrial
usae Inertased 100 per cent.
In spite of the fact there was a
general revival of mining In the
lato months of this year, the part
played by coinage In case of the
precious metals was minor com
pared wit brother years The val
ue of the gold used In the arts
and sciences totalled $10.000,
' 000 more than the total amount
Pi >duced during the year In the
1 lilted States.
Copper owed Its advance In val

'Ing the large part to development
of new Uses and this was true also
of lead and line Silver mine

successful attempt to Increase the
