Just about ever>body in New
Bern pulled for the Chicago White
Sox «to win their first American
League pennant in 40 years. There
was very little support for the
Cleveland Indians. As for the New
York Yankees, it would be hard to
find a dozen fans here who weren’t
delighted at the surprising collapse
of Casey Stengel’s touted World
Champions.
Time really flies, and it’s hard to
realize that 30 years have passed
since Charlie Keller—the greatest
of all Coastal Plainers—made his
sensational debut in the Post Sea
son Classic. We were there in Yan
kee Stadium when King Kong un
limbered his big bat to clout three
homers, a triple, a double and two
singles against the Cincinnati Reds
in a four-game series.
What really makes us feel old,
having known Charlie as a young
ster in the Kinston Eagles lineup,
is the fact that his son—Charlie,
Jr.—now plays professional ball
himself in the Florida State
League. A chip off the old block,
he smacked 19 homers in that cir
cuit this season; and was second in
the loop when it came to round
trippers.

A long bus ride in is front of the
New Bern High school Bears be
fore they reach Roanoke Rapids
for tonight’s Northeastern Confer
ence battle. A goodly number of
Bruin supporters will make the
journey. Others who dread the
mileage will pass this one up. No
doubt about it, Roanoke Rapids is
a right far piece up the road. One
thing is certain, the Bears will ap-
preeiate the loyalty of thos^ New
Bern rooters who show up for the
game.
Just as everyone expected, it’s
a rocky season for Coach Sam
Arbes and his local eleven. With
improvement in most of the North
eastern camps, there’s, no relief in
sight. Victories for the Bears are
aipt to be few and far between, but
New Bern isn’t by herself. Eliza
beth City’s 1958 Conference
champs are still having nightmares
over that 13 to 0 loss to Hertford.

the bar at only half tide drawing
fourteen feet water. He assured me
it was easier to run over the bar
than that of Charles Town and that
it had on it full as much water, a
testimony he said should transmit
to the Lords of the Admiralty. His
Majesty’s sloops of war the Martin

at the time the Fowey came in,
formed a little squadron, the first

A Letter from Mr. Stewart to the
Secretary.
December the 6th, 1769
Reverend Sir:
My last to you was forwarded by
Mr. Blinn, a gentleman that went
home in July last with letters rec
ommendatory from Governor Try-
on to the Bishop of London for
orders since which time very little
could be done in our way in the
eastern parts of the Province, for
on the 7th of September, at night,
we had the most violent gale of
wipd and the highest tide that has
ev6r been known since this country
has been inhabited.
The tide rose in a few hours at
my house 12 feet higher than I
ever knew it, and the wind blew
so violent nothing could stand be
fore it. Every vessel, boat or craft
were drove up in the woods and
all the large oaks, 'pines, etc.,
broke either off or torn up by the
roots. Our Indian corn, which was
not quite ripe and which is the
common bread of the country, was
mostly destroyed, and in many
places together with the cattle,
sheep, and hogs washed quite away.
MIRROR^
MEDITATION
I can visualize in the not too dis
tant future some of the present
concepts and religions of this world
falling by the wayside. They have
reached their goal, and served the
purpose for which the were design
ed.
Having utilized all available
knowledge of their time, they gave
guidance and encouragement in
human development. They should
now serve as a springboard to fur
ther search of truth by facing
truth.
Most systems originated largely
to cope with, man’s ignorance and
fears. They were designed by men
of an era to adjust men of an era
to human destiny. Some have long
since been lost with the ages.
With Science proving the won
ders of God’s natural forces, and
the immensity of worlds beyond,
certain dogmas will become obso
lete and no longer necessary. Man’s
advance and intelligence in the
dimensional fields has led him face
to face with an infinite God as
Christ portrayed Him to be.
I wonder sometimes if man on

But no place has suffered so much
as this town of New Bern, one en
tire street, houses, stores. Houses,
wharves, etc., to the amount of
near 20,000 pounds were destroyed
and swept off together with several
of the inhabitants in a few hours
time. The roads were impassable
for several weeks by reason of the
trees fallen and the bridges car
ried away and so great is the scarc
ity of small boats at the ferries
that the people cannot travel nor
attend the places of public worship
as usual. The damages have been
great in many other Provinces. But
no parts th^t we have heard of
have suffered anything equal to
the country on Pamlico and Neuse
Rivers being in Mr. Reed’s Paiish
and mine.
I had the misfortune to have one
of my legs much hurt the night of
the storm in endeavoring to save
some of my houses. By neglect and
by the rheumatic humour in that
leg, I am once more here under
the doctors hands, but hope it will
be of no long continuance as I have
been obliged to have had my foot
laid open which has relieved me in
some measure and put me in a
good way of recovery. My private
losses in the hurricane in houses
and stores in the town, and at my
plantation is upward of 600 pounds,
this currency, and I question
whether these lower inhabitants
will ever get over it these seven
years.
I am Reverend Sir, yours &,

earth, in spite of the differences
that separate us, will eventually be
steered by unseen hands to an ul
timate truth where all men will
be as one with Almighty God—no
longer in search or in need of re
demption.
I wonder if this was not the idea
that Christ tried to convey. Could
He put this across to mankind if
He walked the earth in this genera
tion? We should pray that His spir
it in man shall do so, for we stand
at a Crossroads where tJie very des
tiny of this world weighs in the
balance.
Because of the misuse of trusted
knowledge, one false move now and
life as we know it could be trig
gered into oblivion. Men of ^11 na
tions should forget their material
differences, and seek the same Al
mighty God—and the same ulti
mate goals of truth. And use its
power for the betterment of man
kind. This, and this alone, is the
answer for the destiny of our uni
verse.
