President Finley speech was greet
ed with spontaneous applause, and &C
it, conclusion, Mr.. Powell introduced
| United States Senator r.. MI Simmons
who heasked to speak on the proposed
proposition from a state and national
standpoint.
Senator Simmons
Mr.. Simmons declared that he was
edifed by the splendid and lucid pre-
Esentatf0n OF the benefits OF co-opera%
ton as shown by President Finley, for
he statedthat cooperation is the pow
er which must be had In developing
this section most highly. He referred
to the fact that for about 200 years
this state stood almost stationery in
kspite OF the fact that ii was inhabited
by some OF the best people on earth.
and had advantage of some Of the
most wonderful Of natural resources.
This state of AFFAIRS vas due inspart to
circumstances over which North Car
oIinians had little control but when q
spirit of cooperation was fnstilled into.

were made in twenty-five years than
in the 200 proceeding the past quarter.
of a century, He dwe1led at length on
the benefits which have ben obtained
In education, in civic Improvements
and IN commerce as the result of CO.
operation, and by this spirit North
Carolina has become one of the IA
-tionss leading and most progressive
states. If more strides are made and
the state goes still higher, the result
will be accomplished through cooper
alton.
The speaker stated that the indus
trial progress sof the state IL due to
the cooperation OF agricultural and
manufacturing interests, one CT which
is the hand maiden of the other. This
progress must be continued and it can
be done only through the cooperation
OF these two forces with the factor of
transportation, which is equally as
great a member of the Trinity.
FEDERAL Aid.
Mr.. Simmons spoke at length on the
necessity for federal aid In develop
ing certain of the states resources and
declared that the conservation and de-
velopment Of the resources ofthe state
is North Cardinals future task. He
referred to the fact that during the
past seven years the federal govern
ment has spent more money In devel-
oping North Cardinals resources than
in the entire number of years Of the
country's history previous to that time.
The speaker expressed the opinion
that 1t will be only a short time until
the government will spend a dollar
every time North Carolina spends one
in developing a good roads system.
The speaker pleaded for burying
strige and instilling a spirit of coop
GRAFTON into the development Of the

heves combined with cooperation is

plimented Senator Simmons in getting
for this state a great part of what is
due to 1t by the federal government
and he expressed qualification that
since President Finley ha staken

system has shown a spirit of hearty
cooperation with everything looking
to the good of this section of the state
He expressed the hope that the policy.
would be continued, although he de-
c1ared that while the cooperation cs
the Southern and federal government
must be had, the section will neve
be as successful as it could be, until
the people themselves work for its de-
velopment. He paid a high tribute to
the women OF Western North Carolina,
who he declares have done a great
deal towards making this part Of the
state so successful. The boarding
house keepers have contributed large
Iy to the excellent market for air,
