Anyway, the purpose of the party - was to engender friendship—and this was accomplished. Unfortunate And Fortunate It is unfortunate that a crime so hideous as was per petrated Thursday morning of last week should occur in the fair county of Chowan. The outrage was the most despicable crime attempted in Edenton in history, surely during the life of The Herald, and while feeling develop ed toward the. 30-year-old Negro accused of the. deed, the county is to be congratulated in that no serious trouble developed after he was arrested and identified by the victim, a 7-year-old white girl. The crime easily could have caused serious trouble, the result of which might have placed a blot on the county. While there apparently was no indication of violence on th-‘ p 3 rt of any citizens. Sheriff J. A. Bunch, as a precautionary measure, whisked .the Negro from Chowan County Thursday night. The sordid crime is to he re gret . d. but at the same time the affair reflects level head 1- ss on the part of our citizens and a desire to be law-abiding Citizens. If t ! guilty party is d : ;fini‘--ly d termined in connec tion v h this terrible outrage, the law should have no leniency, and in due course should send him to the elec tric cb.rr, the only regret being that he cannot undergo the same punishment: twice or even three times. So vicious a person is a menace to society and the penalty | for the.crime should be a lesson to any others who might be like- r.inded. A Dream Come True Through intense interest und no little degree of de termina-ion on the part of a hand full,of Edenton people, a local hospital is about to be realized. A hospital has J been an interesting subject in Edenton for several years, so that the fact, that the one at the base is about ready j for on.o! nt-ion will be welcome news to not a f-\y. Hurdling one difficulty after another, the formal •open- | ing will be observed Friday afternoon, between .". and f> o’clock. The final problem before going into full opera- | tion is about to be -overcome, the installation of an . is finally completed, which will possibly be today (Thurs- I auxiliar • boiler for steriljzaron purposes, and when this day), ev rvthng will he in readiness to operate as a first c!a-s hospital. ...'Experienced and capable personnel have been secured and al! are anxiously awaiting the "go” sign. The hog- I pital is :.s well or better equipped than rr.anv in larger cities. <, that the plant is one of which local people have every reason to be proud. It is hoDed that many people in Chowan County will visit and inspect the hospital Friday afternoon. Many 1 have already been inside the building, but now that all I arrange-’ents have been made for operation, there should be enough interest to attract many to s-e for themselves what the institution has to offer. Many are too prone to criticize, so that if a visit is made, it is a safe bet that many critical ones will agree that the county’s is for tunate in having the sort of hospital provided.

By “Buff” Some complaint has been heard about the long spell of cold weather we’ve been having, but, gosh, just see if vou can refresh your memory as to what happened - years ago last Sunday. It was March -, 19- 1, that a real snow visited this neck of the woods, so much in fact that the roof of the old armory on Eden Street caved in. We’re not so bad off, after all, even if raids have been made on fuel tanks, coal bins and wood piles. Things are going too far. It’s not so bad for a fellow to lose his hat at some sort of gathering, but picking up the wrong overcoat is going too far. All of which brings to mind what happened to the Rev. k. N. Carrol , pastor of the Baptist Church. After a recent church meeting he went for his overcoat, but found another in its place, and cold like it is, he had to be content \vith putting it on. in that it was the only one left. How ever, when he shoved his arms through the sleeves, they protruded about a foot or more, and the fit otherwise was not so hot. It’s too cold lately to parade around without an overcoat, so that this parigraph appears in the hope that somebodv will try on the overcoat he has and if his hands reach just about half way through the sleeves, its a sign he has the wrong coat, which will be gladly ex changed by Preacher Carroll. It might not be becoming a preacher, but E. T. Rawlinson has a plan of his own to prevent losing his hat. On the inside is attached card reading thus: “Like hell it s yours- put it back. —o Elsewhere in this issue appears the personnel at the hospital, and it’s interesting to see that Mrs Carl Cease is in charge of the kitchen, Mrs. Cease, incidentally, has for -i long-time been attending to feeding the Rotarians each Thursday at noon and a swell job'she’s dope. Here s one who hopes, her., new .jobwill not. mean she’ll aban d' -i the Rota’-y meals, for if she does, maybe the boys u .jp want to m— tat the hospital- Anyway, if hospital p.-sohn-l and patients arc as well satisfied as the Ro tarians with Sirs. Cease’s meals, there’ll be no criticism from that phase of .hospital activities—.and: that will be , , - .J jfi-n, for not every hospital has a reputation ..f feeding well. : O- • Willard Vernon of Rome. Ga„ was a welcome visitor for a week or more, visiting his former buddies who ho served With in the recent war, He was wounded in Achen, Germany, by an anti-personnel mine, lost an eye and had his jaw bones fractured. He thinks the world of his Edenton buddies, saying they are smarter than he is. As an example, he cited Spec Jones, Bill Gregory and Edward Bass, who came out as captains, and then there was E. K. White, who made warrant officer, and several who came out as sergeants, Vernon says he went in as a private and came out private first class, and fig ures if he remained in until he was retired, he would still be a private first class and maybe a private. Anyway, while here he visited among his Edenton buddies and sa’ s the Lord never made a better hunch of guys. He likes Edenton, too, but he had to leave Saturday. It would not have been so necessary to leave, he said, but Governors Talmadge and Thompson were expected to go ■ m a fishing triD and he thought he might as well go hack and be third governor. Anyway, he informed his friends that if they wanted anything in Georgia, just call Herman, Thompson or Willard Vernon. o With my daughter having mumps, I’ve had an extra burden the past two weeks, and if anybody else in Eden ton. claims to have a lot to do, here’s one who wouldn’t mind gambling on a trade, The "little girl’ helns right much with setting type and many other ways which is r big help, so that without her 1 feel as though I have even more than the mumps. And speaking about Intertype operators, the two best ones I've ever Seen are Mrs. Julian Ward and my daughter. Not that they are such fast type setters, but they can read my writing in order to turn it into type. In fact, either of them can read my writing better than I can myself. Anyway, here’s hoping the mumps soon leave my home. Peter Carlton was a surprised fellow on Tuesday. He was supposed to go to Elizabeth City to dine with the president of I.ions International, the dinner being sched uled at 1 o'clock. All of a sudden he looked at his watch and discovered that, it was 12 30, Well, some fellows might have made it on time, but Friend Carlton’s car will not make over 29 miles an hour at full speed, so he would have been late, and therefore missed the party. He defends his old car, though, saying he has traveled extensively, even going as far as Manteo in the thing. ‘ o A raid was made on the county’s dog fund Monday, when payment was asked for a large number of pigs and turkeys killed by dogs. There isn’t much left in the fund, so that the Commissioners are hopeful that dogs will hold up a while, or until more folks list the dogs they own. It would be interesting to compare the num ber of dogs actually in the county with the number listed on the tax books. Here’s betting there’ll be a large crowd of Wake For est alumni at Colerain next Tuesday night. It’s a free feed, which, coupled with barbecue chicken, is bait enough to draw members of any organization. Lee Mil ler will barbecue the chicken, which is just about a guarantee that it will be O. K. o With Edenton's Democratic election so far off —May 6—at least three candidates have already stated their in tention to seek office. It may result in a general scramble for office when the election rolls around, but a word of warning is that maybe some of ’em might not know what they’re liable to get into if elected. Any way, the present outlook is for a good crop of cigars be ing passed out. LS. Byrum Named | Oir Welfare Board i * Succeeds W. I). Pruden As Choice of State ‘ Board i L. S.

I c Mrs. K. D. Worrell : Wins Legion Ford Jack Bond Wins Prize For Selling’ Greatest Number of Tickets With a goodly number on hand, the j i American Legion dance in the local I armory Friday night was very siic- I cessful. Music for the occasion was j furnished by Hal Thurston and his j archest ra.

Worrell of Williamston, Jack Bond won first pri e for sell ing the most tickets for tho Ford. VERY FEW PEANUTS LEFT Very little farmers’ stock peanuts remained in producers’ hands in the 1 Virginia-Carolina section. Most re- I maining stocks in growers’ hands were being held for seed. A few j sales were reported at IDIi-llc per lb., with a few h’gher and lower. Many mills in North Carolina were approaching the end of their milling operations for this season. The de mand for cleaned and shelled goods was very active and the market ■v:>- firni to stronger, with higher prices ! recorded for cleaned jumbos and fancy's and for shelled No. 1 and 2. /~ ' ' Greeting Cards For All Oc ~asiors CAMPEiI’S JEWELERS A TRIBUTE TO Mrs. Ellen E.
