Yesterday The Bowie knife, a
14-inch, 2-edged knife, introduced
by Jim Bowie, and named after
him, had its place among the
fighting weapons of the Old West,
along with the rifle and the hol
stered Colt. In the hands- of an
expert knife fighter—of which
Jim Bowie undisputedly was—it
became a deadly and vicious wea
pon, equally effective for offen
sive or defensive fighting. The
technique of handling a Bowie
knife was thrust and parry, simi
lar to fencing or fighting with a
sword. And, in truth, many a
duel was fought on the Western

THE CHOW AW HERALD. EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY. MARCH 13, 1958.
1 frontier with a Bowie knife th@t
I equalled any rapier or sword
clashing encounters of earlier pe
riods. Jim Bowie was killed in
the famous battle of the Alamo,
where the whole garrison, in
cluding Davy Crockett, were wip
ed out by the Mexican general,
Santa Anna. But before he died,
Bowie, wielding his famous and
deadly knife, gave a good account
of himself.
Tomorrow Dr. Helmut Lands
berg, director of the U. S. Weath
er Bureau’s Climatological Ser
vice, says: “This has been an
upside-down winter.” That is a
point on which he and I agree . . .
And then there is the weather
man who advances the theory
that our severe weather this win
ter was caused by sunppots. He
states that we have had approxi
mately 40 years of comparative
ly mild winters, and predicts a
40-year cycle of colder weather
for the future ... If that is true,
I’m moving to the Caribbean, the
Hawaiian Islands or some place
in the tropics where it stays
I warm the whole year round.
of Edenton, “We are very opti
mistic and accept fully the re
sponsibility and our part in the
growth and stability of this sec
tion.” He said there is enough
money now in the local bank to
care for all the loans desired in
Edenton.
Mr. Shaw during his remarks
pointed out the decrease general
ly in the amount of money in
savings accounts in banks.
Jack Overman and Dallas Stal
lings, two members of the senior
class, attended the meeting as
junior Rotarians.
