Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt. This circular which. has been sent to many' of the commercial and mnici pal organisations of the State gives the plan a follows: "The North Carolina Geological and Economic Survey is about to initiate a thorough study and investigation of the water resources of tho State: This will include such projects as water power, municipal water supply, drainage, flood control. Irrigation, the compilation of rainfall and stream flow data, etc. The investigation will be undertaken by di viding th SUt into districts, each one of which will be investigated and a re port prepared. Work witl be underUk en first in such districts aa apply, in or der of their application for service, and in the general degree of importance which the investigation would kava to the people of the State. Municipalities, chambers of commerce, manufacturers, agricultural associations, and individuals may make application for oae or more specific purpose. A field party will begin in June to conduct investiga tions. Stat Bkh la Waterpower Per cent. The applicant will be "expected to defray 80 per eent on the field expenses for such an examination. This ia neces sitated by the small amount of funds TJorth Carolina is rich in sraterpovr era of Its than 3,000 horsepower. There ar numerous municipalities and indus tries in th Stat which could obtain their light and -power cheaper by local hydro-electri development. Indeed in some instances industries hav left th Stato because- they could not' get ade- uato power,. ' although undeveloped waterpowers were near by. The increas ing cost and difficulty in obtaining coal have made the development Of our water power imperative. Moreover, on ac count of the increasing use of electricity on the farm, it ia of great importance that' our agricultural population should benefit by the natural resources -of the State, which are only awaiting develop ment. ' It is for these reason that the Survey i undertaking this study and investigation. It is prepared to co-operate with one or a number of towns or industries in the development of lo cal waterpowers. With the rapid growth of our towns and cities the problem of an adequate water supply is becoming iacreasingly aeate. The Survey will eo-operat with municipalities in an investigation of th water resources of a district suitable for water supply and will suggest meth od best adapted for the utilization aad development of these resources. The Survey ha investigated and been instrumental ia th creation of the great drainage projects now underway or completed in the BUte. It will glad- aid similarly in the formation of new districts and ia the promotion of drainage work for malaria preveation, ' uaar control Klver Flood. Th regulation of th flood flow of streams to prevent damsg to munici palities or agricultural land ia becom ing of increasing importance. It ia fre quently possible to combine' this fan' provement with one of tho other devel opmeata described above. - In certain parts of th Bute, notably oa the Ca tawba, waterpower developments have served to regulate th flood flow, and prevent much damage which previously occurred to farm ' lands, towns and structures at high stnges of the river, "The increasing agricultural and in dustrial development of the State ha necessitated greatly increased facilities for transportation of product. In some instances this can be met by improving th existing waterways of the State, so mat uey may be more suitable for navl gation. The Survey ia prepared io ia- veatigat aad report nnoa the feasibil ity of project of river regulation for nooa control or navigation. , : COUNTY CONVENTIONS IN. - SOUTH CAROLINA TODAY Columbia, 8.

Sir Auckland expressed belief that the church had not kept pace with the in dustrial revolution of the last century and that religion en which civilization is based had been forgotten in the great cities." Cities Draw Democracy Down. "The material of the city today," th Ambassador .declared, "is the millstone around the neck of democracy which is dragging democracy down and making it possible for a determined minority, through blackmail or corruption, to compel people to agree to vote for things they do not want. That way lies destruction and disaster, and th loss of all freedom that the eenturne hav won." Vie President Marshall told the audi- bc that tho church with a com.
