A LIFT FOR TODAY
if Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror by night, nor
for the arrow that flieth by day. Ps. 91:6.
WE SUFFER MORE from fear than from ill fortune.
God has always guided the world and heard the cry of
his humble and loving children. .
Cleanse our hearts from fear and tension, and fill
them with peace, we pray, 0 God. F
What We Need
So many times we hear the remark, “What Edenton
needs is more smoke stacks,” which, of course, is another
way of saying more money would be in circulation, thus
benefitting business houses and everybody in general.
It isn’t exactly a smoke stack, but a group of Eden- I
ton business men have contacted the owners of a north- I
em garment concern, who are anxious to move their
plant south and, of course, the local committee has put
its best foot forward to attract the new industry.
At this writing, the new concern is practically a cer
tainty and already women are being registered who are
willing to accept employment.
It is estimated that between 150 and 200 people, about
10 per cent male, will be employed, so that the local em
ployment office will be glad to list any names of those
who will accept positions, most of which is operating
power sewing machines.
Prior to establishment of the main plant, a pilot plant
will be operated in the basement of the Edenton Elemen
tary School, formerly used as a lunch room.
The concern is no fly-by-night outfit, but one which
sells its products to large chain stores, some of which
are found in the local Belk-Tyler store. The owners of
the plant ask only the assurance of a sufficient num
ber of employees needed and a building in which to op
erate, for which a lease will be given so that any ex
penditure in providing a site will be returned in way of
rent.
The local committee has spent time and energy in an
effort to attract the concern to Edenton, none of whom
will be directly benefitted. However, what helps some
will indirectly help all, so that Edentonians in general
should be willing to help and cooperate to the end that
the northern folks will be impressed with Edenton and
be satisfied with operation of their plant here. If that
be true, there is a possibility that other concerns will
learn about the advantages of locating in Edenton so
that this first outside industry could be the beginning of
an influx of others which can be attracted within our
borders.
All Should Pull Together
Though the word “cooperation” is overworked, it is
applicable in the present project to assume a swimming
pool for Edenton. The swimming pool idea has bobbed
up every now and then for several years, but as far as
it ever developed was the talking stage.
On Monday night, however, the project received a
“shot in the arm” when the Lions Club pledged $5,000
toward the cost which is estimated at about $20,000. The
Lions Club should not be expected to raise the entire
amount and the $5,000 pledge is a distinct credit to the
club. It should be an incentive for other organizations,
and individuals as well, to come forth with substantial
contributions or pledges so that the project will not die

THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON. N. &. THPMDAT SEPTEMBER 17, 1968.
Heard & Seen
By “Buff”
Charles A. Dean of Smithville, Ga., has written me
for some information. In the hope that some readers
can better furnish the desired information I am print
ing his letter. Mr. Dean is a nephew of the William A.
Greenleaf late of Edenton, and writes: if
“I suppose it is a long cry to the days of 1917-18 but
nevertheless I was reminded of a song via radio this
morning over Dawson WDWD, Dawson, Georgia, in
Southwest Georgia, 16 miles from Smithville, of a theme
song, “Linger Awhile”, which I first heard when visit
ing Edenton at the afjove date. Sometime in 1917-18 it
was sung to me on the curbstone in front of John Reid
McMullan’s house by Jacqueline McMullan, when I had
visited Anna McMullan, her sister, who lived next door to
the Judson K. Raes. At that time William A. Greenleaf
and wife and children were there. William A. Green
leaf’s wife was Lucille Rae. She married William Alva
Greenleaf of Elizabeth City, now dead, who died in Lake
Opka, Florida in 1946.
“I was then a boy of 16 or 17 years old and used to go
with Anna May McMullan. On one side lived John Reid
McMullan, the other side Dr. J. H. McMullan, a physician
of Edenton of the 1900’s.
“John Reid had some 10 children, the oldest of whom
was Lucullus. Anna May next. Jacqueline was about 6
years old.
“Could you tell me now at this date, 1953, what became i
of the family of John Reid McMullan, of Edenton, and '
I who the children married?
i “My Uncle William Alva Greenleaf married Lucille
Rae, daughter of Judson K. Rae, and moved to Florida
years ago. He was originally from Elizabeth City, North
Carolina. Lucille was a daughter of Judson K. Rae and
a Mrs. Brinkley, who are buried in the Edenton cemetery.
She, I understand, is still living in Florida.
“This information would be appreciated.”

The Rev. W. H. Davis, a popular Negro preacher who
lives on East Albemarle Street, has been to see me quite
often about hard-surfacing the street. He was happy
Tuesday when I told him plans were underway to pave
several street ends east of Oakum Street. “That’s good,
I’m glad to hear it,” eh said. “Why don’t you know,
during this dry spell my throat gets so full of dust by
the time I get on the paved streets that I can hardly
speak at my services Sunday morning.” I told him the
street will be paved but wondered if some members of
his congregation wouldn’t be just as well satisfied if it
remains unpaved.
o
Every once in awhile something goes wrong in mail
ing The Herald so that a subscriber doesn’t get the pa
per. The other day C. W. Byrd, president and treasurer
of the Davidson Cotton Mills at Davidson, N. C., wrote:
“Didn’t get my paper last week. If my subscription
has expired it’s your fault, because I always remit upon
receipt of notice. I lived in Edenton half a century ago
and since renewing contact some years back, I don’t want
to lose it.”
Reminds me of what Lloyd C. Bunch told me one time:
“The Herald isn’t worth a dam, but I hate to miss it.” •
o
Shucks! I’m all screwed up about this Wednesday half
holiday business—l don’t know who’s open and who’s
closed. At any rate, I was informed by phone as this
column was being written that a group of stores will
close Wednesday afternoons until November 1. These
stores are Quinn Furniture Company, Edenton Furniture
Company, Byrum Hardware Company, Hughes-Holton
Hardware Company, Campen’s, Forehand Jewelers, Bell’s,
Western Auto Associate Store, Ralph Parrish, Harrell’s
Gas & Coal Company, barber shops and grocery stores.
Want to know who’s open or closed Wednesday after
noons ? Well, run down town and find out.
as in the past.
The need for a swimming pool in Edenton has time
and again been pointed out, so that with any degree of
cooperation at all the present movement should culminate
in this much needed form of recreation.

A very small- leak in a’ water pipe
will dribble away many gallons of, wa
ter and make considerable increase in
a water bill for a quarter,
f Many people are poor because they
have never plugged up the leaks in
their income. Their income has dis
appeared through the little leaks of
dribble money:
Dribble money consists of the small
amounts that dribble your money
away because they are so small that
you do not take any account of, or
notice them. But should you have
taken an account of these small pur
chases they would really reach a huge
sum if they were totaled up.
Children are first-rate dribblers. A
pop, comic book, a little candy
a dime here and there more than
what is necessary. A dime or two
here and there seems small but in the
run of a year it really counts.
Many adults are excessive dribblers.
A few extra smokes, excessive indul
gence in drinks, unnecessary driving
of the car and scores or maybe hun
dreds of other places where a dime
|is spent uselessly. It seems a small
' purchase but just such purchases soon
dribble away a pay check. Some men
and boys carry change in their watch
pockets where it is easy to get. Those
who do usually have no need for a bill
fold for generally they have no money
large enough to keep in a bill fold.
Just the little items about the car
ir.d in the home which could be fixed
in a few minutes often when let go
dribble away a lot of money even
though they be in small amounts.
Many cannot figure out where their
money goes. Should they analyze
their spending they would find that
an honest appraisal would show that
they are dribbling away their money
buying things that they don’t really
need and often that they do not really
want.
H. Scott McCallum
Dies At Colerain
H. Scott McCallum, 79, died in Cole
rain at 6:45 Monday evening. He was
the son of the late Henry H. and Mar
garet Ann McCallum. Born in Robe
son County, October 31, 1873, he was
married to Mamie Croom, who died in
January, 1946.
The body was carried to the home
of his sister, Mrs. J. C. Cottingham,
Sr., in Maxton and graveside services
were held in Oak Grove Cemetery
Wednesday afternoon. Mr. McCallum
was a life long member of the First j
Presbyterian Church of Maxton and l
the pastor, the Rev. Mr. Bonner, con
ducted services.
He is survived by one daughter,
Mary Margaret, and one son, Jimmie
McCallum, both of Colerain; one
grandson, Jimmie McCallum, Jr., a
senior at Bowman Gray School of
Medicine at Winston-Salem; a sister,
Mrs. C. J. Cottingham, Sr., and one
brother, J. B. McCallum, Sr., of Max
ton. Three nieces and six nephews
also survive.
Pallbearers were Ernest Williams,
Ralph Purrell, Owen Evans, Fairley
Morris, Fred Frostick and George
Daw.
The trouble with many American
homes is that they have no “head of
the house” and no “wife of the house.”
