Bertie To Give Barbecue '?To Boost Bridge Project Hu^e Crowd Expected to All?'inl Event at Windsor Wednesday Week; (Wlal llipliviu; Kotile to E\ tend lo Maine, Ins-lead of Kndin^ ill Wa-hiiiyldii 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. 'POLICE PROBING DEATH OF NEGRO PlUuner Declare? Fatiil Shoot in?

Tighten.ng of the tn> migration rest rh i ions .has turned many eratwhfl liquor runtif rw to 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 as the mere prospo? t of being deported."

Construction and betterment uork bus been active in all sec tions. but the West lias' witnessed more new construction of rail lines than all the remainder of the i country combined. I.Ines are bc '"K built into hitherto untapped territory and moving picture di rectors have hud to abandon some of the "broad spaces where men i?rc men" for fear of getting a crowd of 1925 tourists into an , XS 17 background. ? 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 gether* .IS2 miles of new road were started oy the company in Oregon. I aliforuia. New Mexico, Nevada and Uiwcr California. Tho con struction in tho latter district will R.-rve to link the West coast of the In I ted States ? with Mexico City and promises to develop valuable trade with Mexico by tapping a re gion rich in possibilities. 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 oitional double track the coming season providing a double track system all the way from I.os An geles to California. Each road has ordered thousands of new refrigerator cars and other equip ment to handle the traffic which these improvements will open, up A number of entirely new lines In the Pacific Northwest will op en lumber territory hitherto un touchod and will mean the build ing of wliolo towns and employ ment of thousundH of mejj. The efject of these nnd similar pro Juts on Merchants manufacturers and produce rs of raw material all 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 ue to industrial consumption dur 'Ing the large part to development of new Uses and this was true also of lead and line Silver mine 1 wners made a determined and successful attempt to Increase the I use of white metal and produc tion was pressed in consequence. Alaska alone turned out $4.000 - f'"0 worth of gold and silver and $10.321.84.1 worth of copper in the first eleven montht of this year In connection with commercial u ? of silver Oeorgo II Wilcox, president of the InternatlnntJ Iutuiv as well an utility products of silver nnd plated ware.
