FOR INLAND WATERWAY. Inters'aS Conven ion Meets In Colum ns, 8. 0. Project la for Pro tected Boutf. Columbia, Dec 23. The Interstate In land Water Rout Convention was or ganized hera today. ; J H Chadbourn.of 'Wilmington, N C, wu elected presi dent; Congressman Gilbert B. Patterson of the Wilmington district; O P Selg neons, of Charleston, 8 C, and OP Goodyear of Brunswick, Ga.. first vice presidents, and E B Clark and E B Taylor of Colombia, secretaries. Delegates representing commercial bodies were present from Charleston. Dillon and Georgetown, S C; Wilming ton, Fayetteville and Washington, N C, Brunswick, da.' and a number of other citlea. , " The scheme had Ut Inception when a bill was presented in Congress by Repre tentative John H. Small, of the Fit at North Carolina district, asking for a sur vey for an inland waterway between Norfolk and Beaufort Inlet. N C. This perhaps, it the most important link in tbe great chain, cutting off, aa It does, the hazardous trip around Hat- teraa. : -y .. .. Since It was first suggested the pro ject bat grown until now It Is second in Importance only to tbe projected Pana ma canal. In fact, from a commercial standpoint, It has bean placed by some as even more Important than the ditch that will connect tbe Atlantic and Pact fio oceans. Following tbe action upon Congress man Small's bill, in which a survey was authorized providing the project to be a feasible and practicable one, the general scheme bas broadened tfntll It is now propessd to extend the great Inland waterway ao as to embrace a transpor tation route np tbe Mississippi river, through the Chics go drainage canal, thence traversing tbe Great Lakes down to New York through the Erie canal, thence through a chain of small canals to the Chesapeake Bay and to Nor folk. The route will then be through the Carolina tonnds to the Atlantic Ocean, south of Hatteraa, along the coast ' that tree from ttorms, heavy teas and mys terlous currents, when a chain ot canals will again traverse tbe Bouth Atlantic Sta'ee from Columbia to the Gulf of Mexico, to thd starting point the mouth of tbe Mississippi. Tbe route between Norfolk and Beau fort It one of the most Important links In tbe chain that would open up great timber, trucking and fishing Industries, Congressman Small will not let the greater overcome thi lesser project by virtue of its inacnttude. but will en deavor to consummate bis schema first and then let the remaining links be ad ded at tbe pleasure ot Con gress and as exigencies may warrant.
