Weaver, president of Chowan College, was in Ahos kie a part of two days this week, Monday and Tuesday, in interest of the college. He is making personal visits to the Chowan College Clubs in this territory, advising with them on the cam paign now under way or soon to be launched for the securing of a number of scholarships for the 1923-24 session. Doctor Weaver says he is look ing for a full enrollment this fall, some of the students signing up coming from Tennessee, Ala bama, and Georgia. This will be one of the aims of the new presi dent?to broaden the scope of activity and have among the students representatives from other sections of this State, as well as from other States. He expects the new building to' be ready for the school open ing. It is under construction now, and includes a swimming pool, besides dormitory rooms, elaas rooms, and auditorium. Railroad Program (Continued from page 1) meeting was well attended, and every expression made was favorable to the project Murfreesboro has been waiting for an opportunity to let itself be heard on the proposal, and today, Thursday, the promoters are meeting there with the town's citizens. It is presumed that a similar proposal will be out lined there today. According to ad vanuce information, Murfreesboro has anticipated the promulgation of the movement, and that its citizens and financial interests have already made provision for the raising of funds to aid the road building, by stock subscription. Other smaller communities along the proposed route will be presented with the plan at later dates. # Upon the showing made by the sev eral towns through which the railroad would be built depends the future ac tion of the promoters,, and the suc cess of the project. Messrs. Spear and Calwell believe the prospects are bright and can see nothing in the way of the road's construction. They will formulate mors detailed plans within a short while and begin actively to work on the culmination of the pre liminary efforts. Tentative plans call for a reorgani zation of the Wellington ft Powells ville Railroad, with its present Gen eral Manager, Mr. J. A. Pretlow, of Franklin, Va., as President, the is suance of stock to townships, and the floating of a larger bond issue by larger financial houses.
