PLAN TO DEEPEN TAR RIVER
MAY YET BE CARRIED OUT
Interest in Proposed Waterway Be
comes Evident in Rocky Mt.
And Tarboro
Greenville, Sept. 22.?-Pour or five
weeks ago the plan to make the Tar
river navigable as far Inland aa Tar
boro was being agitated here. Con
gressman Small, fn an Interview
with this paper, heartily endorsed
tho plan for the purpose of naviga
tion. Congressman 8mall at that
time thought It very practicable, but
he was not, however, In favor of the
project unless It was guaranteed
that the people of th'.a section would
take etepa to use the waterway.
Since that time there has been
llttW' agitation noticeable here, but
in Tarboro and Rocky Mount, ac
cording to all available information
the p'an has ^toeen taken hold of.
and an attempt to foster tta growth
Is being made.
The Chamber of Commerce, In the
city of Rocky Mount, after having
reeeived good authority on the mat
ter, believes that It will be to the
Interest of Rocky Mount to have, In
the event that the waterway becomes
a reality, extended a? far Inland as
Ro?ky Mount instead of only to Tar
boro, as was previously thought
beet.
The Chamber of Commerce, ac-,
cording to luformatioa given out!
there thle morning, will work to-1
wards gutting -the waterway to ex-1
tend to Rocky Mount. The Chamber
of Comtteree has draws up some
resolutions, Whloh ar? o? follow?:
"lat. That the dlrectora of the
Chamber of Commerce of Rocky
Mount haartlly endorse the propoe
ed work.
"tod. Thut tka MvU^blHtj oC ?*

"3rd. That a copy of theae resolu
tions be transmuted to our fknatorF
and Roprcsentatlvea In Congross and
to the du!y accredited represents
tlv-a of the several cltle?, towni
and Chambers of Commerce of sal<?
proposed water way."
Congressman Small has Intimated
that he believes that Congreea will
bo willing to make the appropriation
provided of course that thero Is a
guarantee fhat it will be used.
In the ovent that the issue Is put
up to Congress and that a large e
nough number of Greenfllle, Rocky
Mount and Tarboro citizen? pledge
themaelves to use the waterway
there Is a likelihood of ita becom
ing a reality but it 1a known that
lunleas thla is done, that Congress
will not make the appropriation. ]

LAST NIGHT.
GREAT INTEREST
Evangelist Claim? that There Shou'd
Ik* No 8urpr:?e Over Act* of Law?
tkanem That Arc Committed by
Men Who Are Unbo lever*.
"The lawlessness of unbelief and
the doom resting upon the man who
Is an unbeliever, rcgard'ess of what
his profession may be," was the
theme of an exceptionally strong and
able sermon delivered by Evangellit
Loftln at the Baptist church last
night.
Dr. Loftln narrated the parable of
the master, who let out his vineyard
to husbandmen and went off to a far
country. And when ho returned, he
sent eervants out to the vineyard
an.1 the husbandmen beat and
fitrned them. And finally the mai
ler ^ent his own eon, thinking that
tho men would respect him, but they
! si w him.
I "In this parable," stated Dr. Loft
ln, "wo have the true symbolism of
| conditions in the world. The master
i of the vineyard 1? God himself The
, vinejard represents the world, and
th" husbandmen the people of tbe
world. The servants represent the
prophets and finally, the son, rep
resents Jesus Christ himself.
"The first act of lawlessness In
belief is lnjutlcc to man. This In
Justice is a great deal deoper than
stealing money or robbing bomea. It
means the influence you wield with
your fellow men. And some of yoa
Christians;?some of you people
right here before me. aro unjust to
both God and man in not exerting
your influence in endeavoring to
save your fallows.
"The lawlessness of unbelief re
vel** s the nature of an individual
more than anything else in this
world. The man who denies his God
is a possible Judas Iscarlat. The
woman who denies her God is a
possible Jczubel. I don't care If
you go with the nice set In your city.
I dr.n't care if you wear good clothes
an; j.'Jt up a good appearance. If
you :> 3 an unbell'ver, all lawless
less s ;>orslb!e in you.
"W. hate lawlessness in tbe
crld, but friends, remcmbrr this:
I you are an unbeliever, you are
awl fs in the sight of God.
' Cod ha3 done almost all he can
i for ns. He has given us our
.'recdom, and when he saw that we
j vere following in the paths of sin,
i he sent prophets to us. But they
J'tad little off ct Then he sent his
.only Son, and they crucified him.
What more can He do?
"And in the parable, Christ asked
his hearers what fate should be ad
ministered to the wlckod husband
' men, and th'y answered that the
1 ninder shou'.d cast them out of tbe
vlneyftrd aid rent It to others. And
c It will be with the world. The
I loom is coming to us, and wo must
' motion it, for we must realise that

deeply. He received the cloaeet of
