If the old saying about “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire” was an absolute truism, then North Carolina’s m Jimmy Green Lieutenant Governor convicted arsonist. The ar sonist, of course, was accus ed of being a “torch man for Jimmy Green,” by yet another arsonist-who later recanted that accusation. Since Colcor surfaced, Green’s name has bounced all over the FBI undercover scheme like a rubber ball. But those are Jimmy Green’s pro blems, problems that he must solve before he can make a meaningful run to become governor of this state in 1984. Our more serious problem is who’s blowing this smoke, and who’s looking for the fire? The State Bureau of In vestigation (SBI) is part of the Attorney General’s office, and as attorney general, Rufus Edmisten is the boss of Little Theatre Is Praised By H. E. Mallinson “It was certainly worth coining to see,” was a com ment heard Tuesday night, Feb. 15th, after an “earnest” performance by the Edenton Little Theater of Oscar Wilde’s ' 'The Importance of Be ing Qmest." The play lts«f It •Ml of typical British hnmnr so ow has to be listening and iHHIy for a laugh at all times. The cast made the humor work doubly by a slight mix ture of Yankee and southern accent with a good rendition of the British. When one sees actors move around a stage with scenery and furnishings, little is left U the imagination. But to just hear the words of the play spoken by the players makes continuity and comprehen sion more difficult. The mind has to fill in ail that is miss ing. The cast did a superb job of conveying a three dimen sional effect with a minimum of body movement, but with some hand and plenty‘of facial movement and voice inflection. When Algernon Moncrieff (John Becker), and John Worthing (Ross Inglis), the two vying for being Ernest, are having a go at it, the au dience nearly came out of their seats to get in the act. One word spoken by Ross In glish, DEAD!, was done so ef fectively that it must be men tioned. He was describing the health of his mythical brother Ernest. A very delightful evenings Auction Sale Is Slated The Chowan Ruritan Club met January 31, 1983, at the Chowan Community Building. Sheriff Troy Toppin Presi dent, called the meeting to order by the Chowan Exten sion Club Ladies. President Toppin, brought to the club’s attention, that there was a severe problem with deer hunters parking on the highway, during hunting season. He and County Manager Cliff Copeland have been working on the problem. A motion was made and se cond, that the sheriff and county manager meet wife all banting clubs’ presidents to try and solve this situation. For other business, fee dub voted to sponsor a new Ruritan Club in the Rocky Hock section of fee county. The Chowan Run tans an nual auction sale will be March 12,1963. The public is invited to buy and seU at this * With no further business, the meeting was adjourned. two-term lieutenant governor would be a walking inferno. In the past couple of years, Lt.; Gov. Jimmy Green has been publicly connected to a convicted bidrigger and a ■L v- Rufus Edmisten Attorney General the SBI. Rufus Edmisten is running for governor in 1984. So is Jimmy Green. Both see the other (rightfully) as a source of major opposition. Not surprisingly, all of the hints of investigation and the suspicion surrounding Green have effectively hogtied his gubernatorial campaign while Edmisten’s effort has (relatively, at least) blossomed. Whether it has happened or not, one elected official, At torney General Rufus Ed misten, has been in a position to do irreparable harm to another, Lt. Gov. Jimmy Green, in the race for gover nor in 1984. Note that no evidence yet exists that such entertainment. Good, clean family affair, although children under 15 years of age might have trouble understanding some of the sly, humorous lines that could go over their heads. If you missed this night out, wry, we too public look for ■ffard. tq.adriitiohal and dif ferent ways of presenting classic drama by this group.

Still, we can at least thank Green for calling the problem to our attention last Thursday in a “not secret” confronta tion with Edmisten. The confrontation was touched off by a memo sent to Green by Secretary of Ad ministration Jane Patterson. Patterson supposedly “routinely” notified Green ’B3 Head Start Applications Are Available The Chowan County Head Start program is presently ac cepting applications for the 1983-84 school year.

The notification was anything but routine, however, since sources say only two state elected of ficial’s telephone records have been checked in two years. Did you guess Insurance Commissioner John Ingram? Anyway, an angry Green called and asked an unsuspec ting Edmisten to drop by the legislature for a meeting. Attend Circuit Assembly The Edenton congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses has made plans to attend a circuit assembly of Jehovah’s Witnesses that will be held Saturday and Sunday, at the Martin County Auditorium in Williamston. More than 1,000 Witnesses and interested per sons from nine other con gregations are expected to attend. The theme of this assembly, according to Fletcher Gard ner, local minister, is “Be Rich Toward God, Not Covetous.” “Faithful Chris tians are encouraged in the Scriptures to be rich toward God. This involves a course of life that results in spiritual treasures and an improved relationship with Jehovah God. The world is pursuing every sort of covetousness, which is a form of greed. We can be affected by all sorts of covetousness now manifest, and we must guard against it! Then the lieutenant governor retired with ten senators to wait. Why 10 senators? “So that whatever he said to Edmisten couldn’t be misrepresented later,” answered a friend of Green. What did Green say to Edmisten? The senators aren’t talking out loud, and Green and Ed misten aren’t talking. Edmisten reportedly said he knew nothing about the SBI This circuit assembly pro gram is prepared to help us do so,” said Gardner. Principal speaker for this event will be Louis R. Beda, district representative for more than 25,000 of Jehovah’s Witnesses in North Carolina and Virginia. Sunday at 2 P.M. Mr. Beda will speak on “Is This World Doomed to Ruin”? Commenting about this address Gardner said: “Beda would direct his atten tion to the widespread fear gripping the nations and how God views it all as well as when world ruination will oc cur and who will survive.” A special highlight of the assembly will come Saturday morning when special ar rangements will be carried out for the baptism of new Witnesses. All sessions of the assembly are free, and the public is in vited to attend. SECTION B telephone records check. “The state’s most powerful law enforcement officer didn’t know about his own agent’s investigation of the 2nd highest elected official in North Carolina?” wondered one observer. Green did make reference to “all that he and his family had been through,” and that he was just about fed up. Ap parently, the confrontation amounted to a “put up or shut up.” Green to Edmisten. That could be tough on the Lieutenant Governor if the At torney General is able to “put up.” Week’s end speculation was that the SBI wasn’t ready for that. Advantage, Green. Ed misten’s serve.
