Mr. Capus Way nick, chairman of the . Board, promised the delegation that he 'and members of the. staff Would visit the towns next week and .look, into the matter further. Aiding their cause considerably is Senator Rivers Johnson of Warsaw. Senator Johnson was a popular member of the last Gen eral Assembly nad his Interest In the matter Is very encouraging, to many. . .. The News and Observer became somewhat Interested last week also when it published an edito rial which purported to' be gainst the proposition, ; taking the' attitude that the road Iwas being asked for purely, for the convenience of idle .motorists.
