The fifteenth annual 4-H Wild
life-Conservation Conference was
held at J. W. Mitchell 4-k Camp,
Hammocks Beach, August 5-10.
Two -delegates from each county
could attend. Pencie Blount,
James Brooks and I were there
from Chowan Cd'unty.
From the conference we gain
ed a keener appreciation of wild
life. The farm youth realizes that
if the birds, animals and wild
flowers for instance, are removed
from the wood lot and forest
much of the joy'of farm life dis
appears.
Camp organization, duties and
activities are the same as at reg
ular camp. The classes are dif
ferent. ,
Tuesday was Soil and Water
Conservation Day—Soil experts
have found there are but, a few
inches of fertile topsoil left cr>
mubh of our farm lands and this
soil is washing and blowing away
each year. 4-H clubbers can do
much to help preserve the soil
such as planting of trees; planting
of shrubbery for gullv improve
ment; pasture improvement; cov
er crops and legumes; crop rota
tion; building of grass waterwavs.
A field trip was made in the af
ternoon to observe conservation
practices being carried out.
Wednesday—Forestry Day—lt
was interesting to learn that

General Lee.
The address on the occasion was
delivered by Honorable j. Bryan
Grimes, the Secretary of State of
North Carolina. A general holi
day was observed, with bands
leading a huge parade.
TH6 Bell Battery Company de
rived its name from the fact that
its field pieces were cast in Rich
mond from bells given by the var
ious public buildings and church
es hereabout, in response to an
urgent appeal sent out by Gen
eral Bureauregard.
Captain William Badham, who
formed the battery during the
winter of 1861, sent Lieutenant
John M'. Jones'down to Edenton,
from Camp Lee near Richmond,
with his plea for. the bells, Which
were sejnt by w4gon to §jaffolk
and then shipped to the Tredegar
Iron Works at Richmond,
they were cast into cannon.
It is said that the guns were
named the “St. Paul” for the
church in Edenton and was in
charge ,of Sergeant B. F. Hunt
•r: the "Fannie Roulhac,” for a
patriotic and devout lady, and
was !n charge of Sergeant Harry
Gregory; the “Columbia”; for'the
Edenton Shipyard, in charge of
Sergeant Ed Davenport; and the
“Edenton”«for the town, in charge
of Sergeant George Parrish.
Just at the time the boys had
completed their training and
ready to fight, they were ordered
attached to the infantry, since the
artillery corps of General Lee had
been cofnpleted. This resulted in
great dismay and disappointment
and Captain Badham dispatched
Lieutenant Jones to President Jef
ferson Davis with the following
message:
“Sir: The guns of my company
were made from the bells from
my town and they have-tolled to
their last resting place and great
many of the parents and relatives
of the men in my .command, and
sooner than part with these guns

North Carolina; that 9,000 pro
ducts are on the American mar
ket from the Nation’s forests.
How to prevent forest fires was
discussed at length since fires
destroy a tremendous amount of
wild life, natift-e and young trees,
also human life and property. It
is usually a careless individual
who throws a lighted match or
leaves a smoldering campfire who
start forest fires. On the field
trip we learned the names of trees
in the area and how to select and
mark trees for cutting.
Thursday Wildlife Conserva
tion Day. We learned here some
ways to feed, preserve and care
for ammals.and birds in our com
munities. On the field trip we
observed some life around the
camp grounds.
Friday—Entomology Day. Some
campers felt this was the most in
teresting day at camp. ,We were
told that of the 15,000 different
insects in the world, about 14,000
are helpful. There are two ways
in which insects help the human
race. First, some insects destroy
the harmful ones by killing them.
Insects also help to pollinate
plants. The honey bee gives us
honey and wax. The class dis
cussion also included insects
common to our houses, animals,
vegetables and field crops and
how to control them. Our field
trip gave us experience at catch
ing, killing and mounting insects.
would lather be taken out and
shot. But if allowed to keep these
guns they will stand by them un
til they die.”
Being impressed with the sin
cerity of this letter, the President
replied immediately, ordering the
company to be furnished with
both artillery, horses and wagons
and assigned them to Moore’s
Third North Carolina Battalion.
%
The company distinguished it
self at Culpepper, Winchester, the
Battle of Seven Pines near Rich
mond in Redoubt No. 7, as well as
Goldsboro, Kinston, Whitehall
Bridge, Smithfield (now South
port) ; Fort Anderson, Town
Creek, the streets of Wilmington
and Cox’s Bridge, before being or
dered to surrender.
Although Edenton still has a
number of the cannon used in the
Revolutionary War, which were
set up on the waterfront as dum
mies to hold the Yankee fleet at
bay until the Confederate. ram
“Albemarle” could steam down
the Roanoke River and do them
battle, it is not definitely known
*vhat became of the Bell Battery’s
cannon. It is supposed that they
were dumped into the Eno River
near Hillsboro when it became
apparent that surrender was im
minent.
“The difficulty experienced by
us in locating the reoord of this
monumentyemphasizes the import
ance of preserving our records for
posterity,” said Mr. Spires. “Hav
ing a vast store of historic events
dating back to the early colonial
days may cause us to lose sight
of the fact that history is being
made every year and someone
ought to be appointed as county
historian for the purpose of pre
serving such events as they oc
cur,” he continued.
REVIVAL IN PROGRESS
Revival services are in progress
this week at Warwick Baptist
Church and will continue
throughout the week. The Rev.
J. O. Mattox of Hertford is the
visiting evangelist. Services are
held daily at 3 P. M., and 8 P. M.
