THIS WEEK’S BIBLE THOUGHT
REGRET WILL FOLLOW DENIALS: Now Peter sat
without in the palace; and a damsel came unto him, say
ing, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. But he denied
before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.—
Matt. 26:69-70. •
Let’s Forget “Sour Grapes”
The “machine,” if there is sucn a thing in North Caro
lina, as well as a group of die-hards who apparently re
sent the fact that Governor W. Kerr Scott defeated their
candidate for the Governorship of North Carolina, will,
or should, now realize that a vast majority of voters in
the State are in sympathy with Governor'Scott and have
confidence in what he plans to do for the welfare of the
State.
In the first place, Governor Scott upset the political
dope bucket when he won the gubernatorial election.
Then, still smarting as the result of his election, many
followers of his opponent who were members of the Gen
eral Assembly, egged on, no doubt, by outside interests,
by and large opposed practically every move the Govern
or made.
A second instance which proves that Governor Scott
enjoys the confidence of a majority of the State’s voters
occurred Only last Saturday, when by substantial majsri
ties the two huge bond issues for roads and schools were
carried in a special election.
The voters have spoken and the Governor’s “Go For
ward” program will ere long get under way. His oppon
ents should realize that he has whipped them in no un
certain terms and they will, no doubt, find plenty of fault
with the road and even the school program. It is obvious
that under the program not every foot of dirt road can
be paved or made all-weather, and here, no doubt, the
critics will find a wealth of argument against the Gov
ernor’s program.
Governor Scott, like all of us, is human and is, there
fore, liable to make some mistakes. He most certainly
will, but will the first who has made no mistake “cast
the first stone?”
Governor Scott was elected Governor of North Carolina
because the majority of voters cast their votes for him.
Those who opposed him should accept the defeat and in
stead of being counter to what seems to be about every
thing he does, it could be far better for the individuals
themselves and the State as a whole to work together in
stead being at logger heads.
Os course, $250,000,000 is a lot of money, and the cry
before the election was to the effect that the State will
be ruined and go backward instead of forward. The Her
ald cannot go along with this argument. North Carolina
is a great State and it is capable of doing great things
if its people work together. The old saying, of course,
holds true, “where there is union there is strength.” Let
us all, therefore, forget political alignments and work
for the best interests of the State rather than for individ
ual and all too often selfish interests,
Godspeed And God Bless You

THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 1949,
I —
Heard & Seen
By “Buff”
Col. R. E. Hopper, commanding officer of the Edenton
Marine Corps Air Station, called me as I started writing
this column. He wanted to put a piece in the paper, but
it was too latS, in that everything in the paper was ready
for the press except this column. However, what Col.
Hopper wanted to say was to explain why he cannot al
low the town’s youngsters to use the swimming pool at
the base this summer. He said he regrets that he cannot
extend the privilege to the town’s youngsters. It is not
to his liking, but he is responsible to superior officers
and he, of course, must follow orders or else lose his job.
Col. Hopper will prepare an explanation to appear in
next week’s Herald, for he don’t want the kids and their
parents, either, to think that he of his own accord is de
priving the kids the pleasure of using the pool. Incident
ally, the Col. wanted to know when I’ll play a game of
golf. Well, I don’t like to brag, but as “good” as I was,
I’ll have to learn all over again. I haven’t played in
more than a month due to domestic and shop worries and
responsibilities, in fact, I forgot some of the golf langu
age.
o
Now I have a lot of respect for the pump handle It’s
all because I attended my son’s wedding Friday night
and all diked out in evening clothes, I was the first
one in the receiving line at the big reception. 1 didn t
know there were so many people living in Duplin Count\.
for I believe I shook hands with about all of ’em. Any- |
way my hand and arm just about held out until the last
person poked his or her head in the door. Shaking hands
is right interesting, though, when you come to think
about it. For some it is almost like sticking your hand
in a vise and turning on the handle, while others it feels
like you are just shaking a fish tail. Just the same, my
arm was moving up and down, just like a pump handle,
for a long spell, so that I’ll always feel sorry for the old
pump handle.
o
If I happen to have a black eye or bloody nose, you
can blame it on Wiilie Saunders and he may be justified
in treating me thus, too. Willie was one of the election
officials at Rocky Hock last Saturday and, of course, was *
supposed to be on hand when the polls opened at 6:30
o’clock in the morning. Well, he is a faithful reader of
The Herald and for some reason th« hour of 6 o’clock
appeared as the opening hour in The Herald story.
Willie, accordingly set his clock and got up half an hour
earlier and, rushing to the polls, found he was all by him
self. Later the other election officials put in an appear
ance, so that Willie lost just about half hour of sleep
at a time when sleeping sure goes good. He said he has
had a lot of confidence in The Herald for many years,
but that he’s going to be a bit skeptical hereafter, espe
cially if the time element is concerned when it affects
km. Anyhow, no voter can say that no one was on
time at the Rocky Hock Precinct for the last election.
o
I'm not supposed to mention names, but a certain fel
low who operates the Albemarle Case and another who
makes himself busy at the Jimbo’s Jumbo plant, both of
whom are golf players, had a dickens of an argument
over a case table the other morning. The way I under
stand it, the restaurant operator won a golf bet with the
peanut man, but the latter hadn’t forked up the dough.
The reason, he said, was because the restaurant man
had not played according to the rules. “Yea,” shouted
the restaurant man, “the trouble is that you make your
own rules when you play with me.” Well, a lot of oth
er golf players also make their own rules when they’re
on the golf course —that’s why we hear some of the
scores made.
o
Another guy who is gunning for me is H. W. Williams,
the director of the Edenton Band. For some reason I
printed his name as “Raymond” in a story a little while
back and apparently several other papers used the same
name. His name is “Howard,” and I’m making this cor
rection before he catches up with me, for he’s a lot big
ger man than I am. I don’t want to get hooked up with
him because we need him at the head of the band, but
if he’s as good a scrapper as he is a band director,’ I’d
not have a ghost of a chance.
o
I’ve been playing 'batchelor now for almost three
weeks, but my wife and daughter returned from the
Norfolk General Hospital Tuesday. The Missus is a very
sick woman, but. when a fellow batches for a spell, it’s
nice to have his folks home—sick or well. Incidentally,
the Missus, as well as myself, deeply appreciate the
many kindnesses extended by friends during our mis
fortune.
