Long before the Powhatan reached the terminals the usual del egations of welfate worKers and mil itary, naval and other officers were on hand including Major Gen. Sharpe and 3s the vessels approached the docks resounding cheers came from the troops that lined the ship's rail- ing, and these on shore responded in like tune. The event was enliven ed by music from three bands the ship's band, 120th infantry band, and the Navy Yard band F. Varilla bandmaster. . The Powhatan going up Cooper river this morning was docked at PMR n'olrvk Amid thi usual scenes of aflQDdcheers and shouts from Uose aboard, responses from wiose ashore, flags waving, the three bands viemg with one another to cheer, up the troops, auto true ; moving, officers and ; enlisted men ashort b-'iy With the detaillofef oarkation. ineioutiieastcra-asait WenrheaAJWer rjeted byseveraiofficerV-Gen mmanniBceVQaL;H.' C. Mer riam chief of staff; Col. Calvin Titus assistant; Col. Rolfe, department quartermaster. As soon as the Pow hatan docked Gen. Sharpe and Col. Merriam went aboard, and soon came off with Col. S. W. Minor, rank ing officer aboard the ship, and CoL Don E. Scott, executive officer. j This was perhaps the most effi cient debarkation which has as yet taken place at the uort terminals, due greatly to the fact that the units aboard had thoroughly prepared for the event, and little time was lost and very slight confusion occurred. Col, Lawrence Brown debarkation officer, stated that a record was made in getting the men off the ship, only 147 minutes being required to get the 2.420 off. breaking the previous re cord of 50 minutes. . A favorite piece played by the bands was "Smiles" and it was evi dent that "smiles that make you hjppy" were th kind of smiles that seemed to be parts of the faces of the returning troops. frpm; Colonels to privates. Owing to the fact tht the tide was low the 'gangplanks were not sloping as sharply as on previous occasions, and it was :a cheerful sight to see' the; alacrity with which the men, weighed down ; with heavy packs, stepped down the j gangplanks to their native land. There were 6nly 2 or 3 Charleston men aboard the Powhatan, but the ' J troops all seemed so delighted that one might think Charleston was their home. Proceeding promptly from the docks to their stations in ; the compartments of Warehouses No. j 5 and 6 they remained at ease, and willing workers dispensed cheer and comfort in . the shape of refresh ments, cigarettes, chewing gum post- ! cards, and other articles.

PO ICY OF THE NEW STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION (From Greensboro Daily News, Sun day, April 6, 1919.) Following the first three days sessions of the new State Highway Commission, Chairman Frank Iage, tonight announced the extent t(V which the body has agreed upon 8 policy. The Commission agreed ti build; hard -surface rpads:Hber traffic conditions demand it in coun- ties applying for the same, . making appropriations for such roads' "as due regard for the entire State Sys tem will justify." By many people this wilf be construed as a declara don of intentions in favor of hard surlace roads for North Carolina much, of course, depend upon trafTL conditions and the wishes of the p:ople of the counties. The following resolution, propose by J. C. Stikeleather and secondeo by K. Norfleet was adopted: "That we shall first consider ano approve tne application or these counties applying for aid on unim proved links of the present High way System oLthe State, and tht further improvement, or the' con struction, of such roads in thest counties that are at present isolatet or practically shut off from the rest of the State This recom mend ation provides that we consider these two classes of the same rela tive importance." The Commission will be glad u consider application from any coun ty where the traffic conditions de mand immediate construction o hard surface roads, and will make such appropriations for building these roads as a due regard for tht entire State System will justify." Another resolution proposed1 by Mr. Norfleet and; seconded by Mf Stikeleather was adopted: "To in augurate immediately an effective plan of maintenance." The Com mission agrees to appropriate from Its funds an amount not exceeding an average of $50 per mile per year for maintenance for-the State Highway System, provided the counties through which .these roads have been built Will appropriate an amount equal to thatappropriat-" ed by the State Highway Commis sion for immediate use in repair and maintenance. The work is to be done by or under direction of .the Commission, the County author- lties co operating. DIVIDE STATE INTO DISTRICTS.
