Jan. 26. The 7 Conway Civic lgue served an elegant supper ftt t)ie chamber of cpmmerce rooms In honor of the visiting representatives 0f the Wilmington chamber of com jjjercp. and the Georgetown chamber of commerce, who met here with-mem bers ' tne luai caamoer 10 discuss the important matter of obtaining from congress the needed appropria tions to continue the lntra-coastal wa terway, from Georgetown - to - some point near Wilmington. Hoyi McMillan, president . of 'the cham her. delivered a short address of vPlcome. He Introduced Paul Quat tlebaum. . Mr. Quattlebaum stated the ' object of the meeting, and explained the, ne cessity of finding out the best way of tacklinp the proposition. He read a letted received by him Pecember 31st, j920, from which it appeared there Is l territory, ag shown oi the map, con taining ahout 1,500 'sQuare miles, tbunded on three sides by railroads, and on the other by the Atlantic" ocean. This territory will average a'bout 50 miles In length and about 30 miles in width The Waccamaw river runs, through the middle of this territory, and if in admirable position to 'serve that portion of the country lying alon? the river, which is situated too. fat from the railroads for the. use of rafN -road transportation; there Is . in this territory about 50 square miles lying nearer to the river than to any rail road. The largest Portion" of this area Is almost solely dependent on this river as the only means of transportation, j He spoke as to what congressmen should do, that Wilmington is making; n effort to improve the lntra-coastal water route north of that city, and that we should co-operate with them, and that congressmen from Jorth and South Carolina should co-operate in obtaining needed financial assistance. He then called attention to the report, which was made in 1918 by ,James PT .Allen and associates, ifpon the'm-,, . ' j.rovement of rivers and harbors In the Charleston, S. ,C, district, and read as--follows from the report': . . "Recommended modification of pro- ect. August 11. 1913, the chief of en-f cineers recommended, as part of vth' hitra-eoastal watejway, a channeV' from Conway to Bear Bluff (respective--ly 44 and 67 miles above ' the moujh. seven feet deep, to De securea oy the construction of a dam. at Conway, and by limited dredging and straightening of bends, at an estimated cost of (950.000." ' ' ' Their report also stated that the pro posed lntra-coastal waterway would be Justified even if there were' no lo cal traffic to be accommodated. m It is ?f national importance. H. E. Boney, representing the Wll raincton chamber, of commerce, made (in address in which he gave valuable Information and pledged 100 per cent support from the city of Wilmington in the efforts now being made and which may be made In the futurel A. G. Trenholm. of Georgetown, spoke of plans TJlch Tie 'Intends to carry out with the steamers and boats. stating- that if suitable resolutions or letters arp printed ho will post them on each out-going and In-coming boat In his territory. He will secure their ' co-operation in seeking aid from con- . gress. He spoke of a cut that had heen made, shortening the. distance between Georgetown and MrClellansyille., Capt. H. T. Dagsrett spoke. 6f help to ett the 12-foot channel from George town to Conway, expressed his aopre- oiation of the efforti being made by the business men o,ffConway and Said I that the people of Vleorgetown would po-operate in this nrovement. K. J. Sherwood said, among! other thlnps. thaf this proiect jieeds .pub licity more than anything else. By this he did not mean publicity of a local nature altogether, but that the facts should be published far andj wide and fixed in the minds of those in government .posltibns and , commit tees impressed -with the actual figures showing the importance of appropriat ing monev to carry out the enterprise. AH should pet together and Ami- out what each town has done, continue to hold meetings and exchange ideas and all of the towns benefited by this work should co-operate. - rv H. P. Shuford. of Georgetown, said he had been here about ten 'years ago in a came of baseball, that he was.not familiar with the water route but. was willing to lend all of the co-operation 'ie could muster in the project now on- ler wav to obtain appropriations. Col. T. A. Spivey said that the lntra-i-oastal waterway would help solve the drainage problem over a large- terri tory, would help the cause of labor and provide preat protection In time of war, 'He said that this section of-the coiin 'ry should have the fnanclal aid; from Uie government that It needs the same s people out west have.. : Captain Daggett asked - what state ments had been made in regard to the amount of commerce handled On the waccamaw river and what information did congress have along this line. He ald that congressmen should .be In formed as to the amount of trade han dled and that if the amount was suffi cient, and he was sure It was, It wotild cause the appropriations to be made. JTp suggested that business houses make statements and have "them sent to con pressmen. ... II. Tj. Bpney, of Wilmington,! 'spoke fn regard to the suggestions made by Mr. Daggett and said that all commerce mnflled on the water route should be VPt on separate accounts and records kept by every business house.. He also "poke of the lack of protection of this action of the country ln times of war. said that Germany has always rri'rht and will fight' again,' and his la that we should get right and stay right and thus be prepared. ' - -. J Trenholm spoke of ship cap ,ains staying outside on account of the act that they could not get any help except row boats. He xald that people "utside of this immediate section "did ot know what we had here. We. should "" "1 Know oy an means. Ir W. Ambrose said that people "noiild work for this In order to get even with the Atlantic Coast Line and "inn obtain better service and he said 'bat everybody should be interested. '' completion of this waterway would s'Vf. an outlet to ' northern markets that has always competed arid always 'iscd a car shortage.' Inland routes om here to the north would "open , 'lnes that would handle one-half of the ieavy freight sent out. He stated that . n's plant produces 100.000 feet of lum oer every day. that everv three days output could load a barge and send it to "ket. All lumbermen should be'ln- TereSted ttnfl Via oKIa fn fH Via Atlnrr- Coast Line that we thank them but a.ve another way. . A.

He Tnllnefl t above Conway and the importance of "uvvurinr to the people of that "sec- ,v'"lB passmg to Florida from north ern waters could not go Out In time of bad weather and after the completion of this inland -waterway ; they would stop at Conway. .This would make Conway a great tourst point as it could furnish an abundance-of sport In the way of hunting afcd fishing and other things which would attract peo ple from the north. - In this wav th If inland waterway; would bring to - Con way ana worry county great weight and increased 'business to everybody. He rald that " when she was young be had heard a congressman discuss the project and since that time he has seen results following the statements that were then jnade. He believed that progress would be made and without delay owing to the lessons taught us by, the .World war and that every tljins' that can possibly . be done along this line would be- of great importance and value in time, of future wars. He spoke In; high terms of the interest taken in! this matter 'by Paul Quattlebaum and commended the patient research and efforts that' thelatter. has made i-n try ing to give publicity to .this project. He, said, among other things, 'that owing to improvements made In .the ; Waccamaw river, torpedo boats had ; been ? able to come , tp Conway, but . nothlng'of this.: appeared In -print ex cept .the-local newspapers. xHe stressed the point that publicity should be turn- ed on this subject so that the people In general could be ' Informed Of this work. , . - ;, , , ' 1 r ! . .. Mr. Quattlebaum again took the floor ' and read some further interesting In formation1' from the engineers report, 1 covering -the traffic, for the year -J.917, and which he explained did not cover all of the commercfe carried over the route; but according r to that report made, in June, 1918, the total value of the commodities carried over the Wac camaw" river in North Carolina , and South Carolina, was $2,632,086; the fiuip pale , Will fE:'''-Toibight-';at Store Oqsing lime SCORES OF SMAIjiiOTS rrta,leo'uate Jn'ans of transUorta-rnumberof passengers was ,17,157, and w , vuu - A-Ck. L. L Ilil 1. thie tons ot freight hauled was 74,617. Further, that the total appropriations along the entire river up to the date. of that report was. $313,200. It was thus seen what a small amount the govern ment had spent on-a proposition which carried commerce to the amounts of over two and a half million dollars. The question was" how much could we, make the commerce amount to in case we had the inland waterway entirely completed from Boston to Key West, ; as is planned to do; -'. i "There w,as present at the .meeting from Georgetown the following gen-, tlemen: A.
