Mli lwuc. ?ays Senator P. II.
Williams. Is that of Dr. Living
ston Johnson, editor, in this
week's Biblical Recorder. Dr.
Johnson'? editorial follows: - ,
Next Tuesday the voters of this
State will say whether or not they
favor, an eight and a half million
dollar bond issue for the purpose
tfT TfimgTfffr t>ort. rrr porty.-arnr
for establishing and operating a
boat line, or lines, If thought ad
visable. We have tried to keep
up with the discussion In order to
I form an Intelligent opinion an 10 !
I the merits of the bill. If It be
granted that North Carolina I?
V not getting a square deal In
freight rates, and we are con
vinced that it is not. would the
proposed plan correct the Injus
tice? This is the question which
the voters nhould decide before
voting for or against the bill.
It has been shown that In
order to make a port pay there
must be ample rallrosd facilities
leading to it. We have not a
place available with such facil
ities. Wilmington and South
port are said to be the only two
places at which ports could be
constructed with even a remote
hope that they would attract
water trafTfcc. and neither of these
place? has adequate railroad fa
' duties. We are told that the
wharves at "Wilmington are more
i arv:? ivir'v.,? r,i

A t hi
F<bo:
that port. Does the State pro
pose eventually to build rallroadn
to meet the situation? The gov
ernment, with millions at Its com
mand. took over the railroad?
during the war. and the roads
have not yet recovered from gov
ernmental management while the
people arc making up deficits by
paying surcharges and increased
freight rates.
If it should ho deemed wise In
the Judgment of the Port Com
mission to establish and operate
boat linos they have the power to
dp so. The government is now
operating boats at a loss of
980.000,000 a year! It is said
that the State will not go into the
boat business Why, then, was
an appropriation for buying boats
recommended by the Port Com
Blaalon-? D is claimed that the
boat recommendation Is simply a
"big stick'* to be used If necess
ary, but not otherwise. If we
should use the big stick the
State's own head* would be
cracked.
The very best that can be said
Is that the whole thing is exper
imental. with conditions not fav
orable to the ?ureses of the ex
periment. With a bond?*(K In
debtedness greater than that of
AA? other State in the Union ex
cept the rich and populous state
Of New York, with no one In au
thority. able, as It ssems. to say
whst is the present financial
condition of the Ststs. and with
the 8tat? borrowing money now
to meet running espenses, Is this
the time for us to vote for a
large bpnd Issue, which will be
but the beginning of what we
shall havo to expend If wo go Into
the proposed project?
It Is said that the bonds will
be met by taxes on Incomes and
franchises, as property taxes go
not go to the support of State ,
government. M-r. J. Caddell
truly m M-In n-reeeot article the
present law ran be changed ai
any time. Indeed. Mr. J. Halley.
In his brilliant campaign last
spring, urged that a large part of
the corporation taios be given to
the counties to relieve the farm
Cm of what he termed a very un
>ist burden. Mr. McLean, who
^apposed Mr. llslley. gsve It as his
?agplQlon thst the counties should
lb relieved in the wsy Indicated
by Mr. Bailey, though he did not
favor such a large sppropriatlon
to the counties from the corpor
ations as Mr. Bailey did. Some
of the proponents of the bill say ,
the railroads should be made to
lake care of the bonds, but If
taxes are raised on the railroads
they will ask the Interstate
Commerce Commission to in
cross?1 freight rstes and this In
crease the people will have to
pay
The argument most frequently?
used In favor of the bill Is that
thirty-one states have built ports
and they are sll psylng. It has
haen shown by the opponents of
the messure thst the cases are
pot snalagous The ports !n<
Ihe** other ststes hsve ample rail
(acilltles leading to Ihem. while,
as has been shown, we have not.

ASKS FORD BUY

Richmond. Va.. Nov. 1--Henry
Ford has born asked to buy
Williamsburg. ancient capital of
Virginia, and restore to it the
quaint and picturesque beauty of
| ho Revolutionary period. it
then would be preserved as a
living lesson in Ajiioricatf history
for future generations.
The suggestion, which Mr.
Ford in said to be considering,
was advanced by I)r. W. A. It.
Goodwin, of William and Mary
College, through William Ford,
brother of the automobile man
ufacturer.
Under the plan Mr. Ford would
purchase a larg?> part of the
present city of Williamsburg, at
an estimated cost of between
$4,000,000 and $5,000,000. A
Colonial Holding Corporation
then would be formed, according
to Dr. Goodwin's suggestion, to
which the city would .be turned
over for all time. The task of
re-creating the colonial seat

exist no more.
In the place of today's Wil
liamsburg. there would stand the
House of Burgesses. rebuilt as it
originally stood. Raleigh Tavern
once more would stand with in
V i ting door for the traveler,
walIf nmr would again be lined
with myrtle trees find hedged by
roses. Shacks would give way
to copies of the colonial houses
which formerly occupied their
sites. It is not. planned to com

homes to sell them' to the corpor
ation. but options would he re
quested in view of future sales.
fir flftndwm. who for years
has been interested in the preser
vation of the remaining marks of
Virginia colonial history. Is
quoted us follows:
"For some lime 1 have cher
ished the hope that Mr. Ford
might be and doubtless would be
interested in making a contribu
tion to the United States of the
old colonial capital of Virginia.
"Williamsburg was associated
with all the grftat debate?, reso?
lUtRFBS and actions of our federal
government. It is distinctly the
most interesting colonial relic
which now romains In America,
and should be rescued and pre
served. Unless something Is
done within the next few years
it will be too late."
