Number 4=2 LNTHUSIASTIC HIGHWAY MEETING HELD MONDAY NIGHT-PROMINENT MEN PRESENT The Pathfinders of the Bank- K'ad Highway arrived in Will* smston Monday as previously rranged. and were enthusiasti cally received. Col. Benehan Cameron had preceded the party aavi ig *ome on Saturday even tu r . The people of Martin and the adjoining counties had been :.sk»'d to come to Williamston to meet the Pathfinders, and to add i heir strength to the meeting, which was called to be held in tne auditorium of the Graded School Monday evening. At the hour named for this meeting, a large and representa tive number of people had filled the vast space, and the air was pregnant with enthusiastic in n-rest. The meeting was called i) order by Senator Harry W. Slubbs, and Judge Stephen C. Hragaw, of Washington, was inade chairman. Mr. Stubbs was asked to state '.he purpose of the meeting, and he said that since the 6th of Mav, '.he date of the first meeting at Wiljiamston, he had attended l ight meetings for the discuss .on of the route of the Bankhead Highway, and each one was full of enthmiam. Col. Benehan Cameron made a lousing speech in which he em phasized the need of the High way through this territory, and the splendid opportunity the peo ple had to sgcure the same by imply falling in line and doing he part required of them. To )01. Cameron the people are nore indebted for the opportuni \y offered than to any one el»e, as it was to his direct influence - tlwi Highway w to some thi», iar to the Southeast. Following Col. Cameron, came \lr J. A. Rountree, of Birming ham. Ala., Secretary-Treasurer of the National Bankhead High way Commission: he spoke inter j rstingly on the history of the Highway which already extends through Georgia, Alabama, a part of Tennessee .and Arkansas.

Mr. D. H. Winslow, Mainten ance Engineer, addressed the audience urging the co-operative community spirit, that being the only means whereby people may expect to attain success. Messrs John Lashley and Ernest Will iamson, members of the High way Engineering Corps, were ilso in attendance to add their strength to the meeting. delegations of citizens from Beaufort, Hertfort, Bertie and Pitt Counties were present, among whom were prominent bankers who are intensely inter ested in securing the Highway. Judge Bragaw and others pledg ed to support the project in what ever was asked of the counties they represented; he said that though Martin County and Will lamston would get the bridge, all county lines had been effaced and Beaufort would do her part. Perhaps, no meeting during all the campaign for the High way has been more enthusiastic; co-operation was the keynote and it struck a responsive chord in the mind and heart of the visitors and the Martin County people.

Hassell, Reynolds Smith, Samp son Hadley, John L Rodgerson, A. R. Dunning, and Senator Harry W.
