His subject was the same ai that of his addresses In New Barn and Elisabeth City and rations other points, "National Waterways." Supt, N. C.

"The development of our rivers,' said Captain Davenny, "is necessary to relieve existing traffic congestloi ?to handle traffic the railroads can not carry and to develop new Indus trial centers, by carrying yaw mate rials to mills and factories tha would be necessary, if water routet wei% more generally established." Reference was made by the speak er to provisions of the Panama ('ana Act that will after July 1, 1914, en ? mock competition between railroadt and lines they own or eontrol.

"North Carolina together with Virginia," said Captain Davenny "has the honor of having been a P'oneer in waterway development iu the joint construction of the Dismal Bwamp Canal, and she may -aleo now be proud of the fact that the first completed link In the great intracoastal waterway has been constructed within her borders?the Adams Creek Canal. , "The years 1900 to 1910," said the speaker, "witnessed 5,700 disasters to coastwise vessels on the Atlantic seaboard with the destruction of property valued at $40,000,000, white fhA lives nf 9 2nn American seamen weVp sacrificed. And surely considerations of humanity, to say nothing of the commercial advantages that must accrue, would command the construction of the inland route, avoiding the rocks and shoalc of a fog bound and perilous, coast." "The National Rivers and Harbors Congress," explained the speaker, "advocates no' special project, but la carrying on a nation-wide camnaign in favor of the policy of developina a comprehensive and connected system of waterways.
