The council of the American asset

which has a membership of 1000 Of
the country's foremost scientists
adopted a resolution at Cambridge
yesterday affirming that the ."ne
scientific generalization is more
strongly supported by the thoroughly
tested evidences than is that of or.
ganic evolution" The association also
declared that any Legislation attempt
ing TO limit the teaching of evolution
would be profound mistake" Which
reminds us that when Leonard d;
Vinci, we believe it was, insisted that
tho world was not square, but round
he was tried as hereto and made
to recant. The point we would make
II that Christians can reconcile evo!u

A RAILROAD PROJECT

North Wilkesboro and Hickory bust.
ness men stated frankly last nigh
that the state of North Carolina
through the general assembly will 90
into the business Of railroad building
divested Of all sentiment. The idea
will be TO construct railroad at the
least possible cost that will serve the
greater number of people, grade and
maintenance being considered fully
We might pass resolutions, but if
the legislature cannot be made to see
something worth while it will pay lit
tic attention to them. That is fai,
enough, all agreed.
Hickory people had hoped to Sc
railroad constructed from Edge
mont to Blowing Rock and Boone, and
on to Tennessee, and if that route ap'
pear practicable, it will get considera-
tion from the hands Of commission
that will bc entrusted with prelimin
ary work during the next two years
The state will not move rapidly il
the matter.
The old Watauga and Yadkn rail
road, commonly known as the Grandl
road, looks good at this stage, ant
would give Hickory and the section
south Of here valuable connections
A line from Lenoir to Grandin woult
carry as much freight as line fron
Grandin to North Wilkesboro--we be-
lieve it would do more business.
Freight rate reductions should fol
low the building of such road, thus
freeing North Carolina from the SO
called Virginia gateway cities
through which an extra tariff is levio'
on Tar Heels. 1t will have to
shown that the proposed road vii
serve large section Of the state be
fore it or any other project can get
far. The Wilkesboro people are pre-
pared to prove their claim and Hickor;
is ready to enlist in the cause. Tha
was determined last night.
