" EIGHT FEET OP WATER THE YEAR 'ROUND TO PAYETTEVILLE. ' Tears before the present project of the Inland Waterway or that of thirty-foot channel from Wilmington to the sea were thought of. Fayette ville -bad roused the Bute to the need of aa eight foot waterway from Fay. ettevtlle to Wilmington, the year 'round. If we expected ever to be able to prerent freight discriminations against 'North Carolina. Three leg islatures unanimously endorsed the scheme and the proposition upo which it was based: Gorernor Ayeock and Governor Glena stood staunchly by It, and tare It all the help they could; our Senators and HeprsaeataUves In Congress ananimously . endorsed and aided it-, the newly-formed North Car olina Waterways Assodatioa declared for Its "immediate completion thus recognising ita precedence over all other river and harbor projects la North Carolina; and the' North Caro lina Press Association, 'at' Charlotte last April. nnanimoaaly declared that It was the work of first Importance to the Stats, that it was the key to the sotutton of the quesdoffof freight discriminations against North Caro lina, and that -It- should receive their TiiF newspaper aid to the tallest exwerncr Oteea, be the ehalnnaa of the In IX, at the pabBe meeting-I North Carolina delegatioa u the eos sided-ever by tie Mayor of Fayette rule, me -uiusear committee tor im provement of the Cape Pear"waa ap pointed, and plenary powers and re. spoosibiUUes) eonfered apoa Ka caalr' On Taeaday last (November 14. 1108) the "Upper Cape Fear Improve ment Assodatioa" was formed, with a president, secretary, advisory com mittee and finance committee.

The call for the' fifth, meetlna of the Rivers and Harbors Congress has Just been issued, .Governor Glenn has appointed ktaj. EL J. Hale, of Fayetteville. chairman of - the North Carolina delegation. Ex-Judge E. W. Timberlake, of Wake Forest, was re cently appointed to represent the state on' the executive committee. In the official call for the meetinc President Joseph E. Ransdell gives sis reasons why tha National Rivers and Harbors Congress advocates a waterway 'policy. They are as foV kws:;'"'' v ;-: l.:' ;,' 1. Because water transportation Is much-cheaper than by rail, and in many cases much -quicker for the heavy, . low-class commodities. On well-Improved lakes and rivers J the cost of transportatloa la about one- sixth of the average cost by rail. : 1. Because the ' railroads under normal conditions, are Congested and unable to handle the commerce of the country. Experts ' assert that during the past ten years production ! has lucreatied 12 per cent and rall- i pri i-uui. iiiipiuvru vaict WBI WUU1I1 j, .:,.ve this congestion very material ly. It not entirely, and would furnish healthy competition with resultant cheapening of railroad rates. J. Because our commercial com petitor Germany and Prance have so thoroughly developed and Improv ed their waterways an k cheapened freight charges that we wilt' be un able to compete with them la the world's markets unless we Bo likewise. 4. . Because Canada soar has a H foot channel connecting " the Great Lakes with the ocean, and Is planning a ll-icot canal through Georgian Bay and the Ottawa River, andwe must make as good connections with the sea or the commercial supremacy of our great ports la liable to pass to Canadian dty, 'Ui--i-:. 6.- Because we are spending vast sums at - Panama to connect two oceans by a canal M feet deep, and make the greatest artificial water way oa the earth, and In order to reap Its toll benefits oar rivers most be so improved as to get our commerce to the sea quickly at the lowest rates, and oar harbors so deepened that aay ship passing through that canal may eater any one ot the Important har bors on our seaboard. : Because , water-way Improve ments are aa imperiahabts as the solid rock and concrete out ot which they are constructed. They are nerman- ent Investments returning to the na tion every year and for all time a huge dividend apoa their coat ' The policy advocated by, the con gress Is meeting the approval ot tha best and bratnest ot the statesmen ot the United States. President Roosevelt recently said: . "Oar great river systems should be developed as .national ' water high ways. The national government should undertake this work, ssd 1 hope a be ginning will be made in the present congress.
