Chowan Club Organized.

The Chowan Club was organized
at the home of Mra. J. A. Wil
liams by Miss Esther Wynn Nov
ember 4lh. 1914,
There were but only 9 former
pupils of Chowan College preset,
but each was glad of an opportuni
ty to prove their loyally to their
alma mater.
We are striving to give the un
fortunate girl a chance to educate
herself. -By doing this; each mem
ber gives a fee of $1.00 (tor year
which is known as the Alumnae
Loan fund. In electing of officers,
Mrs. R. L. Phelps, Pres.; Mrs.
C. O. Powell, Vice Free.; Mrs,
J. A. Williams, Sec. and Treas.;
Mrs. Mary L. Britton, Reporter.
We decided to meet at each
members home alphabetically first
Monday in each month.
On the afternoon of December
7tb the club met at the home of
Mrs. Mht.v L. Britton. Owing to
the inclement weather only 7 of
the members were present.
The programme was very inter
esting as Mrs. J. A. Williams had
a most enthusiastic iwper on the
Hlumnae Loan fund, and should
cause each old girl to want to join
the club and add her dollar to ena
ble her neighbor to gain an educa
tion which otherwise would be
impossible. Each member especi
ally desire thatevery former pupil
of Chowan College in and around
Aliuskie to join the Chowan Club.
Mrs. Mary Britton read a paper
on what Chowan College means to
! her.
On motion the clubadjourned to
meet with Mis. M. D. Curtis,

RAILROADS APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT
i ?
f Ths Common Carriers .Aak for Re
liof ? Prooidont Wilson Directs
?' Attention of PuMlo to
{ Tholr Needs.
; The committee of railroad execu
tives, beaded by Mr. Prank Trumbull,
? representing thirty-live ot the leadlna
railroad fystema ot the nation, recent
ly presented to President Wilson a
memorandum briefly reviewing the dif
ficulties now confronting the railroads
ot the country and asking for the oo
operation of the governmental authori
ties and the publle In supporting rail
road credits and recognising an emer
gency which requires that the rail
roads be given additional revenue#.
The memorandum reqitea that tha
European war has resulted in general
depression of business on the Ameri
can continent and In the dlalocatlon
ot credlta at home and abroad. With
revenues decreasing and Interest rates
Increasing the transportation systems
of the country face a moat serious
crisis and the memorandum la a
strong presentation of the candle
burning at both ends and the perils
that must ultimately attend such a
conflagration when the flames meet
is apparent to aU in their general
discussion the railroad representa
tives say In part: "By reason of leg
I Illation and regulattpn by the federal
government and the torty-eight atates
acting Independently of each other, as
well as through the action of a strong
public opinion, railroad expenses In
recent years have vastly Increased
No criticism is here made of the gen
eral theory of governmental regula
tion, but on the other hand, no In
genuity can relieve the carriers of ex
penses created thereby."
President Wilson, la transmitting
the memorandum of the railroad
presidents to the public, character
izes It as "a lucid statement ot plain
truth." Tha president recognising
the emergency as extraordinary, con
tinuing. said In part:
"You ask me to call the attsntlon
of tha country to the Imperative need
that railway credits be sustained and
the railroads helped In every possible
way, whether by private co-operative
effort or oy the action, wherever
feasible of governmental agencies, and
I am glad to do so because I think
the need very real"
The conference was certainly a
fortunate one for the nation and the
president Is to be congratulated for
opening the gate to a new world of
effort in which everyone may co-oper
ate.
There are many Important prob
lems in our complex clviUiation that
will yield to co-operation which will
not lend themselves to arbitrary rat
ings of commissi -as and financing
railroads la one of them. The man
with the money is s factor that can
not be eliminated from any buslneas
transaction and the public Is an Inter
ested party that sh mid alwayc be con
sulted sad happily the president hdb
Invited all to participate In the sola
Uon of onr railroad problems. *
