Moses Lawrence Killed By Train Mangled Body Found Early Saturday Morning Moses Lawrence, well-known Eden ton Negro, was found d,ead on the Norfolk Southern railroad tracks near the passenger station early Saturday morning, his body being badly mangled. The body was fqund by B. F. Britton, night telegraph operator, about 6 o’clock, and is sup posed to have been run over by a freight train passing through about 3:30. Just how “Mose,” as he was fa miliarly known, met his death is a mystery, the opinion being advanced that he was asleep under sortie cars which were picked up here, or else he was walking along the track and fell on the track as the train was moving. There has been some com ment that he met with foul play, but! no foundation for this report has developed. Mose had for many years been em ployed by the Edenton Ice Com pany, where he gained quite an en viable reputation for training horses to deliver ice. * CRESWELL * • « William Schwindt, of the U. S.

Engineer Arrives To Organize Bear Swamp Survey Office Set Up On Second Floor of Chowan Court House H. G. Edwards, drainage engineer of the Soil Conservation Service, ar rived in Edenton Monday to organize a survey of the Bear Swamp drain age district. He has set up offices on the second floor of the Court House and the survey will be made under the supervision of Lee D. Dumra, who will be in charge of the work. Preliminary work has already been started and it is estimated that the survey of the area will consume something like six or eight weeks. In response to the request of Con gressman Herbert Bonner, a recon naisance of the area was made April 21 by the followig party: Arnold Davis, Principal Conservationist; Lewis A. Jones, Chief of Drainage Investigation; E. B. Garrett, State Coordinator; H. G. Edwards, Drain age Engineer, and C. H. Mitchener, Sk>il Survey Supervisor; all of the Soil Conservation Service; W. B. Gaylord, Chowan County Sanitary Engineer; Chas. W. Overman, County Agent; T. C. Byrum, Nehemiah Bunch, L. W. Belch and A. T. Lane. The purpose of the investigation and survey is to determine the neces sary steps to be taken to correct the present insufficient drainage condi tion exisiting in the Bear Swamp Drainage District which was con structed in 1913 and has never been entirely successful. It’s inadequacy was revealed by a survey in 1920 showing that the construction failed to follow the plan. This deviation from the plan has been attributed, for the most part, to the "default of the original contractor. The present survey will be thor ough in every respect and will re quire six or eight weeks. This sur vey will enable engineers to deter mine 'and recommend a plan for the rehabilitation and improvement of the drainage facilities of this dis trict. The project not only benefits areas in Chowan and Perquimans Counties but also adjoining areas and will be worth many dollars to the areas for both agricultural and health benefits if a .feasible plan of rehabil itation can be developed.

THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1942 | ||| GET ON THE BAND WAGON 1 j Kg! Marvin K. Blount | |ml FOR CONGRESS I i ' I I THE PEOPIE VERSUS THE RING E For the first time in 18 years the people of the First District have the opportunity to express their choice for a Congressman. During this time g | the incumbent was without opposition in the primary election. In the past p | two years the plain voters have been represented by a HAND - PICKED I office holder. g How long are the people of the First District to continue to bow to the politicians and office holders from Washington, N. C.? The politicians of g 1 that locality have manipulated for the past 43 years to keep the office of | Congressman filled with a Beaufort County man. 3 If sNo Wonder They Want to Continue - Here's the Record! j i Louis C. Latham, Pitt County 1887-1889 | 1 Thomas G. Skinner, Perquimans County 1889-1891 | 1 W. A. B. Branch, Beaufort County 1891-1895 1 i John H. Small, Beaufort County 1899-1921 g I Hallet S. Ward, Beaufort County..... 1921-1925 g Lindsay Warren, Beaufort County 1925-1940 B i Herbert Bonner, Beaufort County 1940-1943 B I NO OUTSIDE ADVICE NEEDED 1 I Furthermore, the people of the First District of North Carolina do not g need the advice of a Congressman from Texas or Massachusetts to help g 3 them choose a Congressman. The voters of this District are intelligent g g enough to be able to pick the man they believe capable of giving them the B 9 right representation. g If Herbert Bonner was a capable Congressman, wouldn’t the fact be gj H self-evident within his own district without making it necessary for him to g 1 have to get endorsements from Congressmen from far distant States in g § which they undertake to tell the voters of the First District how to vote? B I BLOUNT IS THE MAN f B Marvin K. Blount has been waging a “whale of a battle” for the office g gj of United States Representative for the First Congressional District. He B I has gained ground consistently since beginning his active campaign and H has literally “scared” his opposition to their wits-end! g B His opposition, so afraid that they will be turned out of office, has re- g I sorted to the same old story of trying to smear the candidate who is out B U to beat them. g H They are now claiming that Marvin Blount is trying to buy the office. M Think of that. . . it’s an actual insult to the voters of the First District for gj B Herbert Bonner and his supporters to say that it is even possible for any gj if candidate to “buy” the First District. ij 0 Marvin K. Blount is engaged in farming, is a business man and has an i I ■ outstanding record as an administrative official. g J Check His Record-Then Go to the Polls on May 30 and Vote For 1 I Marvin K.
