THE WAY WE SEE IT
Nothing, not even the Raleigh News and Observer,
is going to keep Governor George Wallace of
Alabama from trouncing Terry Sanford tomorrow in
North Carolina’s Presidential Primary.
And cwitrary to what liberal crackpots might have
you bdieve, everyone among the many voting for
Wallace won’t be a sheet wearer, a cross burner, or,
as th^ delict in saying, a Southern red neck.
In the lot will be some decent, intelligent people. So
intdligent in fact that they exercise the right to do
their own thinking, rather than have the editor of any
newspaper do it for them.
The unfair attacks front paged by the News and
Observer helped rather than hurt Wallace on the
home stretch of his campaign in the Old North State.
A few more features by Claude Sitton, recruited from
the New York Times, could have made Sanford’s
defeat as bad as General Custer’s.
You would think that the president of a great
iniversity like Duke would know better, but Terry
has made the mistake of patterning his television
talks after Mr. Sitton’s low punches of recent issues.
Sanford insulted the I. Q. of aU North Carolinians
when he emphatically said he was not going to
engage in personalities, and then devoted virtually
his entire speech to a personal attack on Governor
Wallace.
Somewhere in the midst of all that wordage, it
mi^t have been enlightening if Terry had explained
why he has stated on national television that the
school bus issue is not important.
Down in Florida it seemed to be pretty important,
or maybe Mr. Sanford hasn’t heard what happened to
his fellow liberals in that state. And in Wisconsin and
Pennsylvania, where there aren’t many collard
eaters, it also seemed to be pretty important.
It it unreasonable to believe that here in North
Carolina, vliere thousands of children are being
bused needlessly, we are very much different from
the outraged parents elsewhere?
Saturday, we believe, is when a college president
will get educated.

The Deposition of
ELIZABETH B. JONES
State of North Carolina,
Craven County, 1836. The
deposiUon of ESizabeth (she
having been duly sworn)
Stateth: That she is acquainted
with Richard Buck and Polly
Buck, they are man and wife,
and reside at this time in On
slow County, North Carolina,
about forty five miles from New
Bern. Bu^ is a shoe maker by
trade, came from New England
about twenty five or thirty
years ago, and afterwards, say
about 1809, or 1810, married the
aforesaid Polly, whose maiden
name was Cannon. Richard
Buck and his wife, lived after
their marriage which took place
in New Bern, several years in
that town, whence they
removed to Onslow County,
where they now and ever since
have resided. Richard Buck,
this deponent supposes to be
about 55 years old, is of dark
complexion and hair. Polly
Buck, his wife, is about forty
eight or nine years old, of law
statue and thick, and has
remarkably red hair. The
deponent further says she
herself is the daughter of a
certain Isaac PaMdge who
emigrated from Blackwater
River in Dwchester County,
State of Maryland about the
year 1771 or 1772, to the Tbwn of
New Bern, North Carolina,
where he married and settled;
Hiat the said Isaac Patridge
had a sister whose maiden
name was Mary Patridge, that
the said Mary married a man in
Maryland by the name or
Gustavus Copper by whom she
had, while living in that state,
three children: Samuel, Misrris
and Cyrus Copper. This
deponent further states that her
father Isaac Patridge about the
TRAFFIC TIPS
r/
New Sign To Warn
Motorists of
The Need to Yield
The new red and white YIELD
sign will be installed along our
highways. It will replace the
traditional black and yellow
sign with which motorists are
now familiar.
The use of red rather than
yellow background color more
closely symbolizes the regula
tory nature of the YIELD sign.
The driver of a vehicle, when
approaching a Yl ELD sign, must
slow down to a reasonable
speed for the existing condi
tions. After slowing or stopping,
the driver shall yield the right-
of-way to any vehicle in the
intersection or to a vehicle
approaching on another high
way, so closely, as to constitute
an immediate hazard. If traffic
requires it he must stop.
I Village Verses
SUNSET CLOUDS
In sunset clouds, a blaze of red and gold
Brings us a promise of smiles after tears;
God’s sunset clouds, they renew dreams of old.
And paint the hopes of faded yesteryears.
Each broken heart finds sincere sympathy.
As twilight draws the curtain for its play;
Before a scene of bright hued majesty
The night comes down, to softly kiss the day.
—JGMcD.
year 1780 went to Dorchester
County, Maryland on a visit to
his parents, and while he was
there his father died;
That when he returned home,
he brought with him Capt.
Copper, his wife Mary and their
family, who settled in the town
New Bern. She further states
that Capt. Copper shortly after
his removal to North Carolina
(say about a year) was lost at
sea, leaving his widow and
three children, two of whom, the
youngest Menris and Cyrus died
soon after. Samuel Copper, the
only surviving child was bound
to a painter, brought up to, and
afterwards followed that trade,
and afterwards died in New
Bern, never having married.
This deponent further states
that after the death of Capt.
Copper, about 1781, his widow
Mary Ciopper lived in the Town
of New Bern, a widow until
about the year 1786, when she
married a certain (ilapt. Jesse
Cannon by whom she had one
child only by the name of Polly
Cannor. She further states that
Capt. Jesse Cannon and his wife
Mary resided in New Bern
several years (say about four or
five) thence removed to a place
called Beaufort, as deponent
thinks and afterwards to a place
called Pungo, where he died
about the year 1792. His widow
then returned to New Bern
where she resided a few years
and died, leaving but the two
children Samuel Copper by the
first marriage and Polly
Cannon by the second
marriage. Polly Cannrni, then a
minor, cmtinued to reside in
New Bern until she grew up and
afterwards when she married a
certain Richard Buck, a shoe
maker as before staM. Said
Richard Buck, and Polly Buck
formerly Polly Cannon, are now
in full life and this deponent
believes and lives in Onslow
County as before stated. Capt.
Jesse Cannon, the father of the
said Polly Buck is well
remembored by the d^xment.
He wasa low thick set man with
a fair cmnplexion and no hair
over which he wore a wig cued
behind. From his general ap
pearance, most people would
take him to be an Irishman, but
she has understood and believes
that he was related in some
way, perhaps a cousin, to his
wife, and that he came from
Dorchester County, Maryland
and the same neighborhood that
she did. Further this deponent
sayeth not. (Deposition in the
suit of Richard Buck and Wife
vs. John G. Gayer and others,
Accomac County, Virginia).

her father Isaac Patridge about
