these charges simply to give vent

his famous speeches of last Mon

"The waters of our excellent
streams belong to- the state except
for the purpose of navigation, and
if they are properly cultivated they
will be a constant asset to the
state and yield millions !n revepue."
said Governor Morrison In an
nouncing yesterday that he would
accompany members of the budget
commission on a week or 10 days
trip, beginning July 1, for the pur
pose of studying the fish, oyster
and other sea foods' Industries in
Eastern North Carolina.
Governor Morrison said to rep
resentative of The Citizen that
the trip is to be taken with a view
to formulating some progress with
reference to assisting in promot
ing this industry for the stale.
He would have every : stream
stocked and oyster beds planted
and if the federal government will
not furnish the stock, he would
have the state establish its own
hatcheries.
The governor said" that It Is most
important to fill all the streams of
the state with fish: that the streams
of central and west North Carolina
ought to be protected and that the
shooting and dynamiting of fish
stopped; that the wonderful
streams in the west re most im
portant In making the mountain
section of the state a great play

other streams of the west only
with hnok and line ought to be
stopped. Thev make a great con
tribution to the west as a pleasure

Governor.

The waters of Currituck, Pam

with the many great livers con

"Imagine a body of water 4 to
20 miles wide, outside the bar and
safely navigable, stretching more
than 200 miles with great rivers
running out every few miles for
150 to 200 miles," said the govern
or, in praising the state's great as
set marking the eastern portion.
"Sport fishing there in season Is
wonderful," he said, "but it Is
unsurpassed as a shooting resort
for duck, geese and other wild
fowl in season."
"These wate-s belong to the st.-te
of North Carolina, except for pur
poses of navigation, and properly
cultivated constitute an asset ruu
ning high into the millions. These

hut we have recently made great
Improvements. Then below More
head and on to Wilmington the
waterways are most valuable; the
New River in Onslow county, and
the Cape Fear. We must looR to
these industries and see that thay
are developed.
"The state ought to get wealth
out of these waters annually, equal
to the cotton or tobacco crop.
"We can plant oysters In the
part of these" waters mixed with
salt for 8 cents a bushel, and I"
3. years, each oushel planted will
yield five or six bushels. The state
could easily get Its Investment
hark with haavy profit.
200.000 Bushel
Oysters Planted. 1
"We planted 100.000 bushels lst
year and another 100,000 this year,
and It will not require a large In
vestment of money to get from
these waterways an Immense state
revenue wh which to help meet

time help improve the waterways.
"I want the co-operation and
sympathy of the whole state In tnc

and sea food industry of the state
and to protect the sport fish In
the western wateca.
"The waterways of the eastern
part of the state. If owned by pri
vate capital, could be capitalized
for hundreds of millions of dollars
and constitute the greatest source
ot riches we have in the state.
"The state could well afford to
spend 40,000 and 50,000 dollars
for five years, In developing this
recourse, for it would yield more
profit for the state and create more
revenue for the state government
than any other Investment possi
ble to the state.

IN TO
ATTEND WATER
Conference in Asheville
This Week Promises to
Be Notable Event.
AVith acceptances already re
ceived from close to 100 men prom
inent In various walks of life that
have a particular bearing upon
water power development, It is not
difficult to forecast a well attended
and unusually successful water
power conference of the Southern
Appalachian states In Asheville,
June 20-22.
The program has been completed
and minor details worked out to
provide an exceptionally Interest
ing schedule for the conference
that will likely develop Into a con
gress is so far as future gatherings
of the kind are concerned.
Those who have been Invited and
who have accepted Include promi
nent railway official engineers,
federal and state offlciait manu
facturers, capitalists, and ethers
high in their chosen callings. -
O. C. Merrill, executive secretary
of tha Federal power commission,
chairman of the U. S. power situ
ation, whose jQresence will go a
long way tcp-d giving weight to
tha confejein Asheville.
Anothef-an of this type who
is Col. C. HY BIrdseye, chief of the
topographical division, U. S... Geo
logical survey, who had charge of
topography during the world war
when he served with the engineer
corps.
Particular Interest attaches to
the coming of B. M. Hall, hydraul
ic engineer of Atlanta, since his
son, Major Warren E. Hall, Is dis
trict engineer for the Federal and
state geological survey, with head
quarters In Asheville. The Atlanta
engineer was one of the very first
to become associated with the
United States Geological survey In
stream guaglng anjl measurement
work throughout the Appalachian
region, even as far back as 1896.
Following this he was for soma
time supervision engineer of the
U. S. Reclamation commission.
None, surely, are more Interested
In power development than those
pioneers who have already seized
some of this power nature offers
in the mountain region. Largely
responsible for the location of the
great power projects the Southern
Power company now operates In
North and South Carolina, W. 8.

For several weeks past, R. J
Sherrill, commissioner of publil

closely studying the possibilities of
the city water shed and Mr. Wad

North Fork watershed at a cost
of approximately $800,000 and
which will contain one billion gal

mains to Be Determin- ;
ed in the Bill.
WASHINGTON', June 17 House
and senate conferees on the army
appropriation bill reached a com
promise late today on an army of
125.0110 enlisted men fur Ihe next
12 months. This represents a re
duction of 8.IHI0 from the senate
figure and an Increase nf li'.Omi
over the size of the army fixed by
the house.
Derision as lo the conference re-j
port on Ihe enlisted strength leaves
only two important sections of the
annual supply hill to be considered
exclusive of the Muscle Shoals
amendment, approving t". 500, 000
for a continuation of work on the
Federal power project in the Ten
nessee river. It already has been
agreed by the conference commit-1
tee that the itirstlim should be sub
mitted direct to ihe house because
of the controversial character of
the subject involved. Chairman
Wadsworth, of the senate military
committee, said that only Ihe Items
dealing with the officers' strength
and the national guard provisions
remain i be determined.
"It was expected a reduction1
from the number of officers fixed
by the sena;e would follow the
compromise as to enlisted person
nel. The house fixed a maximum of
11,000 n.s the number of officers,
while the senate amendment put
the officer strength at an average
of 12,530 for the coming year.

ANOTHER PROOF HARDINK
HAS I-OST PRESTIGE
WASHINGTON, June 17. It
wa made clear here today thi r
President Harding has lost prestige
and that members of congress are
looking out for themselves. This
was manifested when a count of
no.;e In the house showed that the
President's ship subsidy program
cannot be carried out at this aes
flon. There Is open rebellion, and
the leaders are unable to stop It.
The President was told that
n rule was sdopted for the con
sideration of the ship subsidy
measure It would have to be so
'lberal ' that dangerous amendments-might
jie passed.
A skirmish for position on the
part of administration leaders
proved very dlsnouragng lo those
whr would like to follow th ad
vice of the President. In private
prominent republicans admit that

period of 0.1,'ilit weeks.
Listen, Drive Members, here's
some good news that will ring In
your ears like the tinkling of little
bells.
And. Incidentally, It's going to
make you think of gasoline, spark
plugs, non-skids, detachable, etc.
It certainly Is, whether' you're
a Drive Member or not! Because
It's news that Is going to have a
whole lot to do with your winning
one of those big, handsome auto
mobile The Asheville Citizen will
give away free on August 19.
Ot course, yotl know that It Is
going to take votes Just votes
to win those big machines, and
you've probably been figuring
ways and means to get the most
votes In the shortest period of
time. Possibly you've laid awake
night thinking tibout It.
Now, the Drive Manager la an
accommodating sort of person, al
ways ready and willing to help
Drive Members In spy way, and on
top of thnt he Is aSiort of mind
reader, lie got to thinking, a cou
ple of days ago, about a plan to
help the members get more votes
commensurate with the effort they
exerted, and he hit upon a splen
did Idea. The more he thought
about It, tha, better he like II, and
i) he is going right along and pass
It to you.
Here it Is:
To each nnd every Drive Mem
ber who turn In as much as $36
worth of subscriptions to The
Asheville Citizen on or before
Saturday, July 1. the Judges will
credit a specinl voting ballot, good
for 185,000 extra votee. EXTRA
VOTES, mind you, in addition to
those the regular schedule calls
for.
Just think of the tremendous
possibilities In this offer. Everv
club of subscriptions totalling 136
glvee you the Extra Votes. It does
not matter whether they are six,
twelve, twenty-four or thirty
month subscriptions. Doesn't mat
ter whether they are new ones or
old ones, Just so long as you get
$36 worth or more, and that you
get them In while this offer hold
good. Easy. Isn't it? If a person
Is successful In securing $72 worth
of subscriptions during this time,
he will receive credit for 370,000
Extra Voles, etc. In other words,
no limit Is placed upon the num
ber of clubs of 185,000 Extra Votes
each member secures, except his or
her ability to get subscriptions.
r.ach dollars worth of subscrip
tions over and above the $36
worth, will carry a eroportlonate
number of extra votes and, there
fore, a member peed not try to get
exactly $36 worth of subscriptions
in order lo get the Extra Votes.
Turn them in as fast as you get
them, and the Drive Headquarters
will Issue you an Itemized receipt,
showing just who your subscrib
ers are. and taht they were turned
In at a time when the offer for
185.000 Extra Votes was In force.
It almost makes you dizzy to fig
ure out how many extra votes you
would have coming on these extra
"clubs." The total sounds like a
i ongreHsinnnl appropriation for
building airplanes, or for complet
ing the Muscle Shoals project.
This Plan Means
Suo,ess For You.
The "185,000 extra vote way" Is
the road to success. It opens wide
the door of opportunity, and the
next few weeks should prove a
veritable carnival of vote gather
ing for men and women who have
decided to try for the wonderful
prizes. Let us figure what your
vote total would be. assuming that
you have not yet even entered.
Flret you snd in four nomina
tion coupons. That starts you with
20.000 free votes. Next, you go to
four of your friends and secure
four yearly subscriptions, or the
equivalent thereof in six months
subscriptions. Assuming that these
are ono year subscriptions, for the
brevity of calculating the vote
You would receive 100.000 Extra
Votes upon each of the four ()P-
PORTt'XITY COUPONS. Ton
may nave ' 4!F,9f5'0 free votes.
Then the regular votes upon these
four $9.00 subscriptions, entitles
you to 25, 000 each or 100.000 more,
making a total of 520,000 vote.
Here comes the Bid surprise.
