There was a most interesting meeting- of the Industrial Club last night, not only a meeting of interest, but one that is sure to bring forth good ! results. The meeting was one to dis cuss the matter of drainage of the creeks of Rowan county, and it soon j protvel the interest in this all impor tant question. In the absence of: President Jerome, Mr. T. B. Brown ' presided. Mr. Hinkle, of Statesville, was present and gave some very i valuable advice and information. Ire dell county has done a good deal of drainage and is looked to for infor mation on the all important question. Mr. Hinkle was able to give the club some very valuable suggestions. Mr. ('. M. Miller, county engineer, gave some very timely suggestions. Mr 1 Miller talked on the law in the cast and the plan of action. Mr. M. I.. I Jackson, who has been so active in j this matter spoke at length. Mr. Jackson went into the details of the ! situations in Rowan, emphasizing the conditions close by the city of Salis-1 bury, notable that which is due to . Grant's creek. Mr. Jackson's remarks led to an informal discussion of the ; matter and Messrs. T. H. Vanderford, I W. H. Woodson, Captain Richard ; . Henderson, N. B. McCanless and oth- j ers took part, the result being the j bringing to light the interest existing j in the matter and much of the detail I necessary. Mr. Vanderford moved j that committees be appointed to push I the matter of getting signatures to j petitions, and this motion prevailed. I These committees are to agitate and to prosecute every phase of the work necessary, having the proper peti tions ready and to exercise all dili DRAINAGE IE gence in pushing for real and quick ' accomplishments in drainage of the j creeks of Rowan county. ! Some of the citizens of Salisbury j taking part in the discussion last night have lands to be directly bene fitted by such drainage, while others were only interested for the com mon good of the county. The state ment was made last night that there are enough swamp lands in the coun ty to grow sufficient corn to supply the county, if the lands were only re deemed and put in cultivation. The health side of the questions was also emphasized. Chills and malaria fol low the low, swampy lands and drain age will end most all of this. This alone would pay for the cost of drain age. The value of lands redeemed would be something wonderful, an yiA amazing item considering the entire county. The meeting last night was one of the very best ever held by the club. The discussions was on a sub ject all the citizens of the county are interested in. Directly or indirectly drainage touches every man, woman, and child in the entire county. The land owners are touched in the pock ets, and every one, especially those living near the creeks, need a health ier condition brought about. The National government lias been taking a' hand in drainage for a number of years. The question of drainage is one standing side by side with goo j roads and similar questions and mir be settled by the American peon1 The Industrial club is interested everything affecting the welfare of - the county and recognizing the prime . importance of drainage seeks to aid in bringing about better conditions. The committee for all the creeks in the county have not yet been appoint- ": cd as it U better to" get the voik start ed on two or three creeks than it is on .' cover the whole county nt the r:mo time. It is also best to Ami iieit who are willing to voluteer to take an ac tive part in the work than it ia to appoint men and then ask them to serve.' -' The committee appointed for Grants ' creek is Paul Bernhardt, T.
