"Mr. Upham comes to North Caro-
lima on a years leave of absence from
Delaware. which was the best that
he could get from the Delaware com
mission. He left Massachusetts ten
wears ago on a three months leave
of absence from the road forces to
do special work in Delaware. His
coming to North Carolina is regarded
by himself and the commission as q
permanent move. He likes the state
