The Battle Is Over
Politics make strange bedfellows and during the heat
of a vigorous campaign in the battle for votes, some
things are, no doubt, said and done which may be unkind
and bordering on insult. Such was the case in the two
Democratic primary elections to decide the Democratic
nominee for United States Senator in which Dr. Frank
P. Graham was high man in the first election and then
in Saturday’s runoff was defeated by Willis Smith.
Both candidates had a group of hard-working follow
ers in Chowan County, which was found in the Smith
column by slight majorities in both elections, a margin
o! 15 votes in the first election and 18 in the runoff.
Mr. Smith won over Dr. Graham by something like
20,000 votes, showing that the majority of those who
voted favored Mr. Smith to represent them in the U. S.
Senate. Thanks to our democratic form of government,
the majority rules. The people have spoken and Mr.
Smith will be the new U. S. Senator from North Carolina.
Os course. Smith supporters in Chowan County are
elated over the fact that their candidate carried the
county in both elections and finally won the election, and
on the other hand, Graham followers, who worked equ
ally as hard as Smith’s backers, are more or less disap
pointed that their candidate was defeated.
The election campaign can be compared to a family
argument oi a scrap between brothers, which after the
issues are stttled means just as much friendship and re
spect for each other as before an argument developed.
After all, those working for either candidate and those
who voted are all Democrats, all citizens of Chowan
County and, best of all, all Americans. What may have
been said and done in the heat of the campaign should be
forgotten. Mr. Smith won out over Dr. Graham and The
Herald has n<? reason to doubt but that Graham sup
porters, like those for Smith, will rally to the new Sen
ator in his efforts to serve his state and nation.
The battle is over, the voters have spoken. Mr. Smith
won, so that there should again be peace and harmony in
the Democratic fold in old Chowan.

Heard & Seen
By “Buff”
4-—-■■ 4
Quite often I receive interesting notes from friends, so
that this week a few items may be more interesting than
what I could write between the times I am wiping per
spiration. In fact perspiration has run into my eyes and
ears so much this week that I have heard and seen very
little. I didn’t know I had so much water inside me—
and if there’s any more in me, I don’t know where it
could be.
First, J. Frank White, Jr., of Rocky Mount, had this
to say in a brief letter:
“Dear Buff: Thought I would get the chance to drop
in and pay you this little bill (two bucks for his sub
scription to The Herald), but it don’t seem to work out
that way. Every time I am home, you are away. If you
are not eating, you are at some convention (oh, me). I
don’t think you fish much—or at least you don’t catch
much, or we would not be able to read anything else in
your sheet.
"Honestly, it’s the damndest sheet that I have ever
seen. But, brother, I wouldn’t do without it. I find that
a little news, even though it only pertains to Buff, from
the home town, is like a double dose of Hadacol.
“My wife and kids have been in Edenton for four
weeks, at the bedside of her mother, who has been des
perately ill. However, I think everyone in Edepton
knows that they are there except The Chowan Herald.
In fact, they are no strangers to the old home town, and
I hope we will never be. My Dad seems to be a good
source of information, and I am puzzled that he has not
told you about this.
“Take this enclosed two dollars and use it to the best
advantage. Not necessarily to pay for a feed, or any
cigars, but maybe it will assist you to travel to the des
tination of the next free feed.
“What’s happened to Chowan’s watermelons ? It s
about time to load the boats, is it not? Hope Asa Griffin
don’t forget you this year.
“Now that you’ve got the new nome—watcha gona
put in it?”
Glory be, Frank, haven’t you heard ?
o
Then along comes a postcard from Bethlehem, New
Hampshire, signed “Bill.” It sounds like Major W. R.
Lucius to me. The message reads thusly: “This is
really golf country (portion censored) ... a lot of rich
widows up this way. Wish I was single.” And that’s
the guy who has been giving me “fatherly” advice.
o
Another message came from Ruth B. Cantwell from
Sausaleto, California, which read: “Dear Mr. Bufflap,
we have a booklet put out by the State of North Caro
lina and one of the pictures show a mountain woman
with a “cow blanket.” I want to know' what a “cow blan
ket” is. Is it a rug. Wonder if you would take time out
from conversing with the frogs and let me know. We
are still enjoying your paper and hope it won t be long
before you are in your new home.”
Talking about the frogs near the cabin I am occupying
at Ernest Lee’s place, the bloomin’ things appear to be
getting closer to the window all the time. They re a
friendly group of neighbors, and don’t even wait until
night to sing their “melodious” refrains. And while on
the subject of frogs, highway patrolmen may be able to
catch drunken drivers and speeders, but the other nignt
one of ’em tried to catch one of ‘‘my” frogs, but Mr. qi
Mrs- Frog was just too darned smart. But just the same,
I’ll start within a few days to move into my new home,
thus missing the “country air,” frogs, early tourist risers
who start stirring shortly after daybreak and the speed
ing cars burning up the highway in front of the cabins.i
Shucks, I’ll have to learn to sleep all over again. j

T To the 1,382 Chowan County Democrats Who Voted In the Sena- I
J torial Primary on June 24th: ?
j Dear Brother Democrats: I
> When brothers engage in inter-family strife, they take off their boxing gloves and fight 1
| with the bare fists. Such a bout was the late Senatorial campaign. But when one or the other I
| is knocked out, they forget their differences, kiss and make up, and gird themselves for fu- C
i ture contests against the common foe when they will be pulling together wllhout rancor or 1
T ill feeling of any nature whatsoever. 1
f We, the winners, are naturally in happier mood at the present than our losing brothers, f
Y We all fought a good fight and we respect each other for it. This is the way of Democracy— f
I this is the way of Brotherhood. So our salute is to the 1,382 vigorous virile Democrats who A
i have demonstrated that they can fight aitfT take the consequences with all good grace.
