HARD TO UNDERSTAND
CONDITIONS IN CITY
Geo. R. Shipman Comments on Editoria), "Washing
ton, Religiously Dead," Which Appeared in
Yesterday's Daily News
November 4. 1915.
To the Editor of the Washington
Dally News.
Washington, N. C.
My dear Editor:
1 am only a "pilgrim anJ a stran
ger" in your city, but. at the same
time, 1 am also a brother to every
man. (If l read my Bible correctly)]
on the basis of the "Fatherhood of,
God and the Brotherhood of man."'
Hence when 1 read your editorial m
last. evenings' paper, entitled "Wash*;
lngton ? Religiously Dead," I f it a
shudder pasH over my physical
frame, and experienced a shook to
my spiritual sense. To think of
such a condition as you have stated,
existing In a city as beautiful and
as prosperous as this, and In a state
that is nofd for its advance In ed
ucational as well as Industrial lines,
and with successful revivals of re
j liglon being held In many of Its best
cities and the victories over the curao
of liquor, through the efforts cf
God's people for a long number of
years, of which Washington Is shar
ing the benefits in many ways, it S*
hard to understand why such a state
of Ingratitude to God, should exist
us stated In your editorial. And as
you have been lead to ?rrlte that ar
tlrle through a Christian'? Interest
in the welfare of your fellowman;
so I reply In the same spirit, and
would like to ask through your pa
per, If there is really a man or wj
1 :nan, who la not ashanfed that thl:
I statement is true of th'lr*clty, and
| who would refuse to tle'.p to chaogc
, that condition for the better a?.
! once, if the way and means were
fhwn them. Indifference on th
> port of most of us, is ryppnalbk
for this condition, and nasfrfhat you
| have been true enough, and courag
I eous pnough, to write this for the
'betterment of your city, I trust thai i
lev ry law-abiding and self-respect
ling man and woman, will make It
their business to change this deplor
ab'.e state of affairs, by first getting
right with God themselves, and sec
lonrlly, by helplrg others to get r'.ght
I w.th God.
IAffectlonat' ly and fraterna'.ly,
Your brother in Christ,

MR. SMALL DISCUSSES
INLAND WATERWAY.1
Gives Out Interview Regarding the General Scope ot
the Work Thai is Being Planned.
(By Eastern Press)
Greenville, Nov. *4. ? For some
time murh talk has bepn current In
this lection relative to deepening
th^ Tar river for navigation from
Greenville to Tarboro, thus making
!?. poBslh e to have a waterway route
from Tarboro straight to Now York'
or any other East Atlantic seaport
town.
Concerning the Inland waterway i
proposition, Congressman Rmall.1
who Is regarded as an authority on
theeo matters, and who may well be
regarded as the father of the water-,
way plan. Tuesday said:
"I welcome the privilege of a'
brief expression regarding Intrcoast
waterway and the developmpnl of
our transportation. This Intercriast-;
al waterway proposition Is an Inside
route form Boston to Florida. The
section from New York to Florida
ha* already bren approved by the
army engineers. While this em-!
braces a total length of eighteen ]
hundred miles, It must not be sup
posed that It consists entirely of
canals. As a matter of faot, It is
only necessary to connect the num
erous sounds and bays along the At
lantic lt?*wwd *nd will pnly rt
[quire canalizing distance of abou
one hundred anil thirty-one miles
The Total cost of the improvemn'
will t.n a il!t o leas than , forty-eight
million dollars. The more contem
iplation ??r such an Inside and safe
J rnut.) demonstrate* this groat valu',
hut when you consider that this wa
terway will intersect the mouths t<
in number of rivers having a total
navigable length of more than five
| thousand miles, its va'.uc is greatly
enhanced. To put It another way.
, its construction will open up the
great trunk lino for water transpor
tation of eighteen hundred miles
with branches of more than Ave
thousand talks. I must be content
with this general statement as to the
scope and purpose of this lntercoa.it
al waterway."
Greenville already has the oppor
tunity of using her waterway to
gr<*at advantage. Experts on the
matter say tjiat the transportation
facilities from Oreenville by water
are fine, but owing to the fact that
cheaper rates, or quicker transpor
tation can be had by way of the rail
roada, th re is practically no rivtr
craft that come to OrsfOTlUt,
