When tne senate began consideration of the rail road bill today Senator Blmmons of North Carolina took the floor In sup port of the long and short haul amendment. ' The railroad bill passed by the house yesterday was referred to the senate Interstate -ttowmt'i-cc committee. The senate bill will be substituted for it and differences set tled In congress. ' . . Senator Simmons declared the fact that North Carolina was wedged In between Virginia and South Carolina, and all buaic points of the section were In those strifes, has the effect of dwarfing the towns of his state. - The "Water Cure." Under these conditions, he said. It is Impossible to develop anything like a wholesale business. He predicted the time would come when the situa tion would be relieved by the devel opment of water transportation.
