Northern Route From Zebuion ar.d Sonthera Route From Wendell Proposed Raleigh, April C.?A joint hearing on^the location of route 91 from route 90'to Wilson was held yesterday aft ernoon in the bouse of representatives before Frank C. Kugler, commission er of the first district, and John Sprunt Hill, commissioner of the fourth district - - . - i Two routed have been proposed, i jjne leaving route 90 at Zebulon^ and running along the northern side of the Norfolk Southern railroad, and the other leaving route 90.at Wendell and running south of the Norfolk Sou thern railroad to Wilson. ^Rthough the commissioners announced no de cision yesterday afternoon, the north ern route seemed to have a slight advantage in that it required $125,000 less to construct this route, .and elim inate two grad* crossings which are necessary pa 'the southern route. The. southern route more nearly approximated the present roadway, 'and the traveling distance is 1.41 j miles shorter than the northern.ropte.. By following route 9ft from Wendell jto Zebulon, however, it will be pec against 13.17 miles on the southern, making the construction distance on ithe northern route 2.^ miles shorter. In addition it will be necessary' to buiW two bridges on the southern route against one on the northern. Wake county commissioners were in favor of the northern route while Nash county endorsed the southern route with th eexception of one com missioner. Johnston eounty was not heard officially at the meeting, but it was reported to be on the fence. Between 75 and 100 farmers and others interested were present at the hearing. Judge Loyd Horton and Y. Z. Parker appeared for the southern route while James H. Pou was^coun sel for those desiring the northern route. A large number of witnesses testifiecT during the afternoon in re gard to the number of inhabitants the road would serve and other merits c? the respective routes. t ' % Fountain's Political j Pot Now Boiling.

The afternoon program ;was given i ovear to registration of delegates and routing work.. -.** Dr. E. D/"Soper, dean of the Bible department of Duke University, was the outstanding speaker on tonight's program. He sooke on the subject, "Tie Worker and His Bible." He said that one must know the Bible to be able to teach it and that knowing about the Bibie or to be able tp quote from t^e Bible is net know ing the~;Bible itself.. "Many critics ;-$Jp to defend the Bible but it needs no defense. Just as soon as the Bible is understood and lived out in our ITves it becomes its own defense." Allowing the Bible to become a part of you is knowing it. One reason why so many people misunderstand the Bi ble is because theythinkthat it lis verbally-inspired and accept it as an-; thority on reiigioh, science and every* tw?f 11??. ;Dr. $oper himself believes jo,.the inspiration of the- scriptures but . does siience and is therefore no text book on. science," he said, itf you go to the ljble for a text book on religion, it iipneof the greatest books ever writ-' t^Onereion^hy mo*,; ^opie are not Christians is not because^the Bible is not clear,;.bpt because we are not clear in otr living.
