Business Generally Suspended During the Hour Governor Cameron Morrison was greeted by a court bouse full of Frank lin County people on Monday after noon to hear his exposition of the port terminals question that Is to be I voted on In the general election i?oxt Tuesday Business generally was sus pended for the occasion. Although the Governor stated that his speech would deal with plain business facts, a cold dry argument, he was at his best and entertained his hearers as well as furnished them much ? information upon which to make their choice In i the coming election. He said the ques tion involves North Carolina's oppor tunity. He said the idea was nothing new as it had been done by every state in the union having a coast, and stated that North Carolina has lost millions by not having provided these terminals before. He quoted the plat torms of the three national parties ito show that each of them stood for I the issue. In referring to the govern. | tnent and in all projects of this kind i he cited that it had spent thirteen and ia half millions of dollars to dig a canal lin Texas and that North Carolina had paid ten times as much of this amount as did Texas, because North Carolina pays ten times as much revenue. He said that by the failure to pro. vide public terminals open to all upon equal terms has caused Congress to withhold assistance, and estimated I that North Carolina had paid twelve tu fifteen million dollars more to carry ! the commerce of this State than other states for moving the same volume. Referring to the costs he said that a {ton could be carried four miles on water for the same cost as for one I mile on rail. The railroad rates in North Carolina are monopolistic, he said, while in Virginia they are highly competitive. He said it would pay Franklin county people to have heavy shipments stopped in Virginia and haul them home under the present order of things. The -ship feature, he said. U only a precautionary measure in order to enforce the use of the termi nals after they are built. The Ques tion he said, is a contest between North Carolina and Virginia and other a contest between the people and the railroads. . His speech was a strong argument for the establishment of the port ter minals and made many votes, and was greatly enjoyed by all. The Governor was Introduced in a beautiful Impromptu speech by Mr. W H. Yarborough.

It was a marvelous story of achieve ment ? from the ox team days to the period of conquering the air. It calls to mind the daring trip that Meeker -made through the wilderness, the I thrilling experiences with marauding I Indians and the cholera scourge which he endured. The Meeker movers were joined by others who turned their faces toward the new land and no story of tha wild west has more Incidents o( com edy and tragedy than the now famous journey lnijo the unexplored north west. Where this pioneer battled with mud, Indians and plagues, automo biles now travel with ease, motorists rinding paved roads and convaalaa. es on every hand, that clvilisatlaa in Its sweep through the west has 1 along. The old National Trail Meeker traveled in that early day appeared as a white thread as ha flew in the air conveyance. The astounding developments that this bare three quarters of a ctatuy has brought makes the blood in the veins of an and sets his brain In a whirl he tries to Imagine what tha future holds In store.
