If Mrs. Laura Rountree of Cross Roads will have
someone stop in at Leggett & Davis Drug Store at
any time, she will find a nice box of the best choco
' lates waiting for her in honor of her 77th birthday
which she celebrated last Sunday.
Will the “Miss” who was “sweet sixteen” last week go to Mitch
ener’s Pharmacy in Edenton and pick up a box of the best milk
chocolates to remind her that she is only sixteen —once. We’re
speaking of Miss Marion Harrell, of
course, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Rodney Harrell of Rocky Hock.

When a neighbor is compli
mented for a worthy achieve
ment-let’s really give him a
hand. Not so long ago, George
W. Haskett, our good friend of
Elizabeth City, denounced the
raw deal a Negro got over a car
raffle in a nearby town. His
editorial made the newspapers
and magazines all over the coun
try. Radio commentators quoted
him, too. The Sunday Virginian-
Pilot speaks of him as the “little
man with the big voice.” And
that is just “our boy” George.
People, the folks all around —
white and colored, come to
George when they want a cause
espoused. On the side of right—
he pulls no punches. He doesn’t
butt in, however, into other peo
ple’s business just for the sake
of gossip. Last week we were
sitting in what he calls his office
at the Independent in Elizabeth
City, when a couple came in and
asked his aid in trying to do
something about finding out who
tried to kill some of their rela
tives. It seems that the police
and the SBI for some good rea
son have come to a standstill in
their activity on the case.’ George
looked like a “little ole Solomon”
—if you could picture this little
fellow with ears that stand out
like saucers —as looking like a
beardless, sawed-off Solomon.
And whether you wanted to or
not, you couldn’t help but become
impressed with the sympathetic
understanding that he manifest
ed. The phone rang—and his
face and manner registered an
entirely different mood you
gathered that he was talking to
someone about whom he cared a
great deal—in a different way. .
He was talking to his little three
year-old daughter. This is the
man —George W. Haskett, editor
and publisher of the Independent
in Elizabeth City, the radio com
mentator —the man who is “of
the people and for the people.” A _
man who does not profess to be
