Town Council Turns
Thumbs Down On
Idea Os Zoning City
Broad Street, Church
To Freemason, Af
l f ected By Plan

Discrimination Against
Other Residential
Sections
Deciding that the matter of zoning
the city into business and residential
district would involve too many com
plications, Town Council on Tuesday
night failed to take s any action upon
a petition presented with this idea in
mind. The petition requested Town
Council to consider zoning Edenton
intb residential and business dis
tricts and particularly emphasized «
request that that portion of Broad
Street lying between Church Street
on the south and Freemason Street
on the north and on both sides there
of be restricted to residential pur
poses.
It is believed that reason for the
petition is due to a recent desire of
the Quinn Furniture Company to
purchase and transform the property
now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. George
Lassiter into a funeral home and
upon further information that a new,
filling station m to be erected within
the area referred to in the petition.
It was the concensus of opinion on
the part of the Councilmen that to
comply with the petition would be
unfair to property holders who might
desire to dispose of their property
for business purposes. Then, too, it
was generally agreed that it would
be discrimination against other resi
dential areas, which if adopted would
prevent any expansion whatever in
the business district.
Though none of the signers were
present at the meeting, those who

Whether or not the watermelon,:
cantaloupe, tobacco, cotton and pea
nut crops fall short of expectations
this year, com in Chowan County is
rapidly taking a place among the
leading crops which is attested to by
J. Clarence Leary of the Leary Bros.
Storage Company. During the brief
period between June 24 and July 13,
says Mr. Leary, his warehouse has
sold 20,000 bags of com which netted
growers $10,500.
Each bag contained five down ears
of com which
handled by the Leary concern alone.
At an average of 10 V 4 cents per doz
en the income amounted to $T8,500.
The major portion of this com
was the Norfolk Market variety and
according to Mr. Leary, farmers are
gradually increasing their acreage
for the Stowell Evergreen variety
which is more prolific and an indica
tion that next year’s crop will even
surpass the record established this
year by the Leary brothers.
Active Program For
High School Band
Camp and Several Ap
pearances Included
In Schedule
Charles L. McCullers, local band
master, has mapped out a pretty ac
tive summer for his boy and girl high
school bandsters. In addition to sev
eral open air concerts here during
the remainder of this month, the
youngsters are looking forward to a
great time in camp, starting August
1. Mr. McCullers has picked a fine
spot for the camp, down along the
Pamlico River, near little Washing
ton, and will personally be with them,
as will a number of the parents to
act as chaperones.
A full attendance of the children
is anticipated at the camp. Three in
structors will be on hand to keep the
band playing active four hours daily.
Mr. McCullers is certain that this
training in camp will make his pupils
very fit and put them in shape to
compete with any big time college
band in fancy drills and playing.
It is the McCullers’ plan to have
the band, he says, attend all the foot
ball games during the fall, and he
expects them to be a sensational hit
at each. In addition to this expecta
tion the baVid will have a part in
some way at the “Lost Colony” pag
eant next month, and will, also, par
ticipate in the Wilson Tobacco Festi
val parade on the morning of August
18, and at the Albemarle Sound
bridge celebration, August 25.
Mr. McCullers is very anxious to
have his band boys and girls cooper
ate with any local chambers of com
merce in advertising and boosting
Edenton.

Edenton Drops But
Va -Carolina Loop
Lack of Interest and At
tendance Given as
Reason
Edenton’s entry in the Virginia-
Carolina League, following the game
with Craddock Sunday afternoon,
withdrew from the Sunday baseball
loop. This action was taken due to
an apparent lack of interest reflected
in attendance, thereby causing a
gradual financial defiicit. Rather
than continue and increase indebted
ness Edenton’s officials decided to
abandon play while it was possible
to pay all outstanding bills.
Earlier it was expected the fran
chise would be taken over by the
Cotton Mill team, but the latter re
fused to accept, feeling that it would
face the same financial difficulties as
the Edenton team. At present the
Cotton Mill has a very strong aggre
gation with no expense for hired play
ers or umpire, whereas in the league
a sls guarantee must be paid visiting
teams and $5 paid for an umpire.
Aside from this expense the Edenton
team has been obliged to hire a
pitcher and at times one or two other
players which expenditure usually
was in excess of gate receipts.
The game Sunday resulted in a
victory for Craddock, the score being
9 to 4. The locals were badly crip
pled, being obliged to use Tom Hos
kins on the mound, Vernon Spruill
on first base, and outfielders Trot
Leary, Melvin Layton and John By
rum at infield positions. Hoskins,
though very wild, pitched effective
ball except in the first inning when
the Craddock hitters scored five runs
before letting up on slapping the ball
to all comers park. Edenton
collected eight hits, three of which
were made by Caleb Goodwin, playing
center field.
