IMPROVEMENT OF
BIG WATERWAYS

Washington, August 23.-(special.)-In
discussing river and harbor Improvement
legislation next year Representative
Small of North Carolina today said: The
improvement of waterways makes for
progress, development, increased ponu-
lation, additional manufacturing enter
prises and all that means a great volume
of business both for carriage of persons
as well as in freight and I think IL is
well that we should at all times keep in
mind the fact in order that no evil-mind
cd person shall create upon the public
mind any false impression in regard to
those who are endeavoring to engage in
the development of our waterways, that
they are enemies Of the railroads In the
country
There is another feature. To my
mind, one OF the evils which has come
up in recent years has been the Joint
ownership of the water curriers' and the
railroads by the same companies. The
waterways naturally hold an independent
position. Just as 1t Is impossible for one
man to serve two masters, SO it Is alb
solutely impossible for one set of Off
cials to manage a railroad and water
carriers at the same time so as to Justly
and equitably serve the people, and the
time Will come when either one of the
two conditions will arise in this country
that both the water lines and the rail.
roads will be SO subj ,cted to legislation
as will make 1t impossible for their Joint
ownership, or their joint ownership will
be divorced"

convention. enough to elect him the next
governor of Georgia, according to returns
up to / O'Clock this morning from Geor-

30 counties at this hour. His managers
said that the result was in doubt.
Congressman Leonidas Livingston, who
has served 10 continuous terms and is

priations committee, was doubtful of the
result in his district. On the issue that
he supported the so-called Cannon rule

On the same issue Congressman Will

democratic congressman appear TO have
been renominated although Hardwick, i'll
the Tenth, was reported to have had a
close shave, and there were no definite
figures on the vote for Edwards in the
First.
The returns came slowly, showing
numerous upsets in calculations of t-
campaign managers. For example, Cobb
county, the home of Governor Brown,
early swung into Smiths column. Sa-
vannah reported the final count in Burke
county for Brown by the extremely mar
row margin of four votes, and Mcintosh
county for Smith by 81.
snith's campaign headquarters here
confidently predicted his victory, and the
Brown leaders were not less optimistic,
but the majority of the political leaders
gathered here pointed to the nature of
the early returns as significant of prob
able Smith victory.
There were contests today in seven
congressional districts. In the Fifth dis
