MONEY SAVED SHIPOWNERS
UY RADIO WEATHER SERVICE
More than 2,000 hours of operating '
time, worth at a conservative estimate j
$11)0,000 has been saved to navignt- J
ing interests by means of the radio in i
u single season by means of the hkj io
advices sent out from one of the email |
er Weather Bureau, stations on the
lakes There is no way of aseertain-
ing-definitely. ho w large is the total
saving effected by the Great Lakes
i radio weather service, which if one of
the many activities of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Vessels are not only warned off the
lakes because of approaching storms,
but they are also advised when
safe to proceed and wht route to tke
to avoid heavy seas and adverse cur
rents. When boats are idle the over
head expense averages $75 an hour,
and may be much higher
A large fleet of 40 boats anchored
near Mackinaw, Mich., for example,
would not have left before 8 p.m. had
not radio advice assured the leader
that it would be safe to proceed at
2 p. m. This difference in time meant
a saving of at least SIB,OOO to the
shipowners. At anothe rtime BO boats
sheltered at Detour, Mich., were ad vis j
ed that conditions would permit them i
to start immediately instead of 10 u
16 hours later. The saving here wm
estimated at $37,500.
Last September a steamer assist
ed by a tug was grounded outside it
regular channel. The captain was in
formed by th«! lo*il Weather Buieau
that the water would not return t
normal till the next morning, aw.
suspended operations which were con
pleted in a tpw minutes when condi
tions were right. Five hundred dol
lars for tug hire alone was saved.
Capt. Thomas of the post office
rural department seamed to be lost
yesterday as it was a holiday no mail
was delivered on the rural routes.
Mrs. J. G. Elmore and children of
Norfolk arrived today and are visit

HAIL WAS 32 INCHES I)EEI>
Staunton, Va., Sept. 4.—Hail piled
up to depths as great as thirty two
inches in hollow places >ind along
fences during a severe hail storm that
skirted Staunton. From a distance
certain fields'in the county looked
Bjf if had been a heavy snow.
"The llepdeniTtch orehord four
miles flom Staunton, on the Middle
brook road, was greatly damaged,
fruit being torn from trees. Two
bridges over Lewis creek were
washed away and ihis stream, which
darins this city, overflowed its banks
and a half dozen houses were flooded
Cornfields and orchards also sur

company lost about thirty tons of coal
in the flood and water rushed in'e
the Klotz Bros.' junk yard and stor
age buildings, cellar and ground floors
damaging hides, wool and rags to a

GOVERNOR WILL BE HERE
MIGHTY BRIDGE RESULT
OF YEARS OF PLANNING
For many years the region l>e>ond
the Roanoke River huse been a sort
of dreamland. Hut instinct tuu ht us
that if a river hail one liauk i. must
have two and we wondered what lay
beyond the other side of the old Roa
noke. We knew of that fur away land
culled Bertie and that it was peopled
with folk like our own and that long
ing to know, and that longing to see
led some of us to think and look a
cross the swift stl&uu and wonde
how it could be crossed. It h; v i been
in the minds of our citizens fo year;
and generations as it was in th '-m m
of Columbus before his wonder ul d
I covery. Hp suid there must 1 e I, iu
people and things beyond and there
a way to reuch them and so has it
been in the minds of our own tow.i
men that there wus a way to I*
the river and the lowlands an
hands with our next door neighbor,
Bertie. Little circles of men would t-1
and dream übout a bridge hut the t si
looked to great so for a long time not.
it>g was done except talk, but th -
thought would not be drow'ned an
with the advent of the automobile tin
need grew und it wus evident that i
a bridge spanned the Rounokp be e
it would mean a Hying stream of tra
th flowing over it from ull parts oi
Central and Eastern Carolina and
Eastern Virginia.
Thiß vision not only uppenred t
the people of Martin and Hei lit
counties but also to the grpst conti
nental and transcontinental road buil
ders. The Bunkhead Highway. Com
mission was studing the geography o
the country. It wus their plan to builxl
a great road fro mtho Atlantic to
the Pacific Ocean by the Southern-
Central United States route makni;
Norfolk the eastern terminal and
Los Angeles the western
with u prong extending down Hong
the Atlantic seaboard to the Gulf o
Mexico.
Colonel Benehum Cameron, one oi
tli£> most distinguished men of our
state, minutely studied the geographi
cal situation and after consulting
maps und charts found that William-.,
ston was the key point to the whole
project in this teritory and that the
gihhway should fork at this point,
one branch via Washington to the
Gulf, the othpr via Tarboro, Raleigh
on to the Pacific. (lolonel Cameron
began making a distribution of Ufe
needs of the territory coupled /witA,
the advantages offered by bringing
th ehighway through this district,
became fully convinced th« this war
the logicul point for the «r\ssing and
wrote to several of the leaoing
zens of this County, outlining
od which would insure a bridge.
Colonel Cameron did this In
his own handwriting and with
that preciseness which only those past
middle age have time to do, in this
rushing world of fast things. The
plan suggested brought in the stiong
hands of the Federal .Government
anil that of the Slate in combinat •
with local assistance.
This was a impetus Wor new life and
our people began to see with a clear
er vision than ever before the pos i
hilitifis of a bridge. The Martin pre. •
ty people called a mass meeting am
invited Col. Cameron (low nto tell it
to all the folks. When he finished tlit'
great mutlitude stood in a body ap
proving the plan and pledging their
support. A meeting wa salso held in
Bertie county and a boost was put ii
the project.
Committees were sent to a large
number of towns and counties to thi
South and South West and a' great
meeting was held in the town of
Washington in August 1918 at wh'cl
time Senator Simons was the principal
speaker. All these meetings revealed
the universal approval of the people
everywhere. The Legislature of 191!
passed a bill, introduced 1 by Mr. J. H
Matthews, authorizing the counties o'
Martin and Bertie to appropriate
money for the erection of the bridge
Soon thereafter a joint meeting of the
commissioners of Ma.tin and Bertie

Wilson's Cabinet, who will be here to

Itridge Thursday.
wus held ut Williamston and the.\
approved the plan, the county of .Mar
tin furnishing $150,000 and the coun
ty of Bertie $50,000.
The Bankhead Highway Commission
represented by Colonel Cameron a
{'resident and Mr." Rountree of Ala
as Secretary made personal inspection
as dii(l the State Highway Commission
and they each approved the project
and the work was given over to the
State Highway Department under the
direction of Mr. W. S. Fullis, Engin
eer.- -The- way was surveyed uud laid
out and complete pluns were made by
the bridge engineers which were ap
proved by the Federal Government
and the War Department.
Heal Work began March 1919. A
bout sixty convicts were sent
from the Caledonia farm under the
management of Capt. Rliem and they
begun cutting away th edense forest
and getting out ull the rubbish und in
a few months a right of way was i
through the swamp.
The Roanoke is a typical river, a
real mountain stream. It is deep, nar
row and swift, in most places 200 to,
400 feet wide uud in many pluces iff
least fifty .feet deep. The river vullj/y
or swamp is almost straight ' for
many miles and its ustfal width is
about four miles. This entire width
overflows almost every year, general
ly in the spring when the rains melt
the mountain snows, the
reaching the depth of eight
fjUH. It is usually flooded about idle-'
twelfth of the year, u southeast rain
storm ruiinning as much as thirty six
hours nearly always brings a freshet
caused by the rlnuds packing up the
mountain gorges and' pouring their
waters out in the entire valley.
One peculiar thing about the river
is that it wallows from slile to side
of the valley, leaving the high banks
on one side of the swamp and run
ning across digging out the high land
on the other side, crossing about every
six'miles from one side to the other.
These' waters have been very treach
erous during thee oustruction of the
bridge, and much inconvenience has
been cauifed by them.
BARACAS ENTERTAIN
One of the most enjoyable events
of the season was a picnic given by
the Barucu Cla-Ss of the Memorial
Baptist Church in honor of the Phi
latheas ast Thursday at Ra ,'s Beach
On arriving the table was spread with
everything good to eat and everyone
having an enormous appetite soon
made way with 'most everything.
Bathing was enjoyed through the
day.
Each member departed looking for
ward to another day like this.
The Baroca's wish to urge e>ery
young man in Williamston and sur
rounding community who do not at
tend any other Sunday School to come
and join our claes. We have a splendid
teacher. Come to Sunday School It
will make you feel better.
The various committees will call on
you between now and Thursday. Help
them by cooperating with them.
PERPETUAL MONUMENT
TO ENGINEERING SKILL
The contract to do the concrete ano
steel stTTicttrraPwork was let to Boyle-
Roberson Construction Company ol
Washington, D. C. The contract price
was $332,308.83. These gentlemen
lia\e done their work well under the
management of Mr. A. W. Brown. The
220 feet steel draw and the 2773 feet
concrete bridge known as the Roanoke
bridge with the 1700 feet bridge
known as the Conine bridge and tin
three miles of dirt dam which is fifty
feet wide at the base, thirty feet wide
at the top and fourteen feet high am
which required a million cubic feet t
build is' the State's most imposing
structure.
"Chief" A. K. Ilaxstun as resident
engineer has been on the job both
day and night, rain or shine mudc-Uti
tie difference with him. He has com
pleted the biggest job the State High
way Commission has ever undertaken.
Mr. A. W. Brown, for the construc
tion company has stood by the job
and smiled when they would work on
the cofferdam to empty it and it
would fill up in a few hours in spite
of all efforts to hinder it franwloing
so.
Only one man was hurt seriously
during the construction of the entire
project. This man was George Bunch
who fell to the bottom of the caffer
dam and had his hip and leg -broken.
The people of this whole sectioi
have so uniformly stood behind this
work that wo would say that the.
honors are equal and while officials
attorneys and engineers have stood ii
the front they have only done their
duty and the widow's mite is equal in
the House of Justice, therefore We
will not be able to mention the naii >
of the multitudes who have reallj
helped to build the bridge, however,
if we were called upon to suggest a
name for the bridge; we should s.
"Cameron."
The opening of the Bridge on tin
seventh, Thursday, will be the great
j>»t celebration ever held in this
tiou of the State and people are com
ing front everywhere. The Govern
and the officials of the State Ilighwaj
Commission will bo present, also Hoi
Josephus Daniels, not only the State'
most distinguished son but the great
est Secretary .of the Navy Americ
has ever seen, but wjthal a plai,
private whom every mother would re
to see her son follow. There will i
other leading men from niuiTy plti&'t
among them noted newspaper men
from North Carolina and Virginia.

Comparing the stories of the Bible
with those found in the dialy press,
the Rev. Mark A. Matthews of Seattle
speaking at the Generol Bible Confer
ence of the Presbyterian Church at
Stpny Brook, L 1., last Sumluy said:
"In the third chapter of II Timothy,
if you look you will find precisely
all taht you can see in the metropli
tan press this morning. Written 1,1.00
years ago, it tells accurately what it
happening today. I challenge any one
to red that chapter and then the colu
mns of the daily press and then deny
that the chapter is a perfect statement
of conditions today. Not a crime com
mitted in the last forty-eight hours
or a deflection from law is not con
tained there.
"The people who relegate the BI) I
to a shelf and regard it as old-fashion-1
ed book are unscientific and fools..

ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL
l.ast Saturday night between twelve
and three o'clock the night policeman,
Frank Gurganus heard a noise in the
county jail. He immediately went to
the jail and found that one of the
prisoners was attempting to get out
of bis cell by cutting the bolts with
an axe. The sheriff was called and
he went iu side the. jail just as the
a Greek arrested some time
ago for robbery at Oak City, was
ready to get outside his cell, having
already pushed his clothing outside.
The axe was taken from the Green
and signs were seen of a hack saw
on the bolts but it is nowhere to be
found in the prisoner's cell. It ia evi
dent that assistance is being rendered
by friends on the outside. The Greek
says thht he is innocent and that hi
is coming out of there so he is being
held under careful surveilance.
On Monday as the food was be ng
given the prisoners Mr. Peel found i
bolt broken in one of the negro pris
oner's cells but nothing had been
heard from him during'the nights be
fore. The mattresses have been re
moved from the cells where the pris
oners have attempted escape and
every safety precaution is being ob- '
served.
THE TRUTH
Do you remember Lincoln's etory
about the little steamer wtih the big
whistle? Everytlme they tooted the
whistle blew off so much steam that
the boat stopped ruhning. That'a the
way with lot sof people today. If thej
would only use their energy to drivr
the paddle wheel of opportunity in
stead of eternally blowing the whistle
of discontent they woud find them
selves .going up the stream of auecesr
so dnged faat that the barnacles of
failure wouldn't have a chance in the
world to hook onto their little craft.

SAYS PROSPERITY
COMING IN NA lios
Washington, Sept. 4.—Secretary
Davis, in a Labor l)ay message to the
Ameiican people made public la t
night, declared that "we can look for
ward with pride and gratituda upos
the achievements o fthe last twelve
months" atui that during this peiiorf
"America has been ( brought to the
threshold of an era of unexampled
prosperity."
Hut for the industrial strife which
has been evident far several months
throughout the country, the Secre
tary added, the outlook of the nation
would not have been darkened "We
must find a common ground during

employers ami employes where they
can adjust their dkerencea without s
recourse to an appeal to force," be
taki. "There can b» not justification

The Labur Secretary declared that
"two great things have been accom

"We hi'j C"ii(n'cro. the menict

level of the nation very littia below
the high point reached following the

Despite the pressure of unemploy
ment, Mr. Davis said, "we forestalled
th«e short-sighted employers who
saw in the situation only an oppor- •
lunlty to beat down the price of
