..at— -I | Washington ln this series j of columns it has been shown that Senator Nathaniel Macon established a very distinguished record as a member of the Unit ed States Congress. When he re signed in James Irede'l of Edenton, from one of North Carolina’s distinguished families, was elected to fill the vacancy. James bedell Iredell was the eleven'‘;h Sena tor in the, line of succession from North Carolina. He was born on 2, 1788, at Edenton. After graduating from 1 Princeton College, he was admit ted to ithe bar and practiced Taw in Edenton. He left his practice for a time in 1812 to serve as oggytain of a company of volun teers. Shortly thereafter he was elected, to the State House of: , Commons, serving as speaker fropi. 18rl7 to 1828.

We had to choose on the basis of talent, beauty, person ality and poise. There were five of us judging the contest and five extremely diversified opin ions as to which of the girls should receive top honors. How ever, as we used the point sys tem, that eliminated anything Mike a “hung jury’’, and the de cision was finally made in favor Os a black-haired, blue-eyed, ex tremely personable young lady, Diane Divers. She has that Elizabeth Taylor beauty, along with her own special brand of charm, a combination that will make her a fine rep: osentative for Hertford for 1960. Our con gratulations to her,, especiallv since she won over such stiff competition. And, as in the Miss America contest, there was a special award given to a Miss Congeniality. This award went to Paige Anne Chappell. By the way. Betty Brown was out standing in the talent depart ment with a comedy skit she wrote herself and actually fun- 1 nier than a lot of the stuff that, passes for humor cn television. You have to see this gal on stage to appreciate her tremen dous talent and ability. WCDJ’s ex-rock ! :i roll man, Oscar Shaw, is in New York now promoting some of the mu-j sical groups he featured on WCDJ. Bua'.er Brown, the bril liant young guitarist, already has his first record out and is work ing in a Long Island night club. What a step up for that wonder ful young fellow. He’s only fif teen, blind, lear-ed guitar by himself and plays brilliantly. We wish him nothing but the best of luck and success. That crazy rumor making the rounds about the Taylor Theatre' is just that: a crazy rumor. Not a h»t of truth to it. As par tial proof we can tell you that, the Taylor is booked with some! terrific movie entertainment welli into February. Between nowj and that time you’ll see such qytstandipg film tare “They Came to Corduro,” starring Gary Cooper, Tab Hunter and Rita Hayworth; “Sign of the G’adi- A ators” and “Warn or and S:a.ve Girls/’ two of the soec+acui’ars;, the movie version of “Li’l Ab her/’ -end mue'n-looked-forward to “Pillow Talk/’ which 'br-tke all attendance records in Nor folk Pat Boone’s latest, a 9ci-| rn-e-f’etion cpuS based on a' doles Verne story, and those are ii>st a f-w el the i«jiflv fine Mips you’ll she at the definitely ■ staying-open Taylor Theefre.

He did not seek reelection; his term expired pn March 3, 1831. In the meantime, Iredell had moved to Raleigh and re sumed the practice of law where he continued to be active in gov ernmental affairs. He died while on a visit to Edenton, April 13, 1853. Whigs Gain Support Senator Bedford Brown of Rose Hill, Caswell County, had been elected to the United States Senate in 1829 as a Democrat to fill the vacancy caused by Sen ator John Branch’s resignation. He,, served at a time when the Whig Party was on the gain in North Carolina, a time when Democrats were finding it in creasingly more difficult to get the support of the The story of Senator Bedford , Brown will be explored more j thoroughly later. though, it’s politically smart to I frown on pavola so both the] FCC and the FTC (Federal Trade] Commission) are follow ng up complaints rece ; ved years ago, a job they should have done years ago. Also on that sub ject, one letter from a midwest em disc jockey to a record dis tributor was revealed publicly. The jockey in question sent an urgent message. Seems he had not received any payola checks in the mail and was quite dis turbed about it. Several letters were written by midwestern iockeys in a similar vein when the payola was slow in coming through. Still on the subject, Dick Clark, it seems, had a healthy bite of a Jerry Lee Lewis record called “Breaithless.” That’s why that particular rec ord was pushed so heavily. The record manufacturer had to solit the profits on that record w : th Clark. And it seems Alan Fr“ed was the recipient of an interest-free loan on SII,OOO quite some time ago. The loan came from a Tecord distributor in New York who was interested : n promoting a few of his discs.

Famed far and wide as the intellectual center of Asia Minor, Pergamos was proud of its culture and refine ment. It was the Boston of its day. Here was a library, second in the ancient world only to the one at Alexandria. And here parchment was first used; the very word “parchment” be'ng a corruption of the term “Perga mos charta.” It was also a college town, the site of Pergamos University, one of the most exclusive, Ivy League sehoois of that day. And whi’e there is no record that the students gathered in the grand stands and chanted “Sweat and stew for old P. U.,” neither is it recorded cf them that they spent their time seeing how many of them could crowd into a telephone booth. Among its illustrious native sons were, Ga len (physician), Heroditus (his torian), and Homer (author). Pergamos was a'fio a religi ous city; the headquarters for the World Council of Churches of its time. Its main tourist at traction was a cluster of tem ples dedicated to the various pagan gods of the dav: Zeus, Arpnlo, Athene, Dionysius, Aph rodite, and Esculapius. They alii 1 1 stood together in a beautiful grove.

Secretary for in quantity. Because tile ecumenical move ment had established such a foothold there, our Lor-d describ ed it as “the place where Sa tan’s seat (Greek: throne) is” (2:13). You see, our Lord was not at all impressed with all the beauty, splendor, glory, learning and culture of Perga mos. To Him, with all that, it was but the devil’s showiplace. But He had a remnant, even in that sorry place. The darker the spot, the greater the need for the pure light of the Gos pe\ and the brighter it shines. The more wicked the communi ty, the greater the responsibili ty for God’s blood-bought rem nant to live godly, consecrated lives. What kind of a church was the first Church of Pergamos? First of all, it was true to the faith (verse 13). Whatever else we may say about this church, let us begin by admitting that it was fundamental, it believed 1 the Bible, it preached the Gos pel! The people taught their children catechism. Indeed, one of their number, Antipas, had i been martyred (the Greek word “martyr” really means “wit * , v "** v "~* ■' .—. <■> 0. m ROBES Yes, we have the robe that she is hoping to find under her tree . . . warm, luxurious and very lovely indeed. sib 1 GIFTS OF GLOVES Short gloves, long gloves . . . she needs them all this Christmas and we have them.

THE ness,” and is used here to re fer to one who had been slain because of his Christian witness). But it was also a worldly church (verses 14-15). When Satan cannot destroy our faith, he sets about to destroy our testimony. There is nothing so detrimental to the cause of Christ as the professing Chris tian who believes the right things, who is in all points of doctrine correct, but whose life is an abominable, blasphemous heresy. Right thinking Is no substitute for right living, and the type of person who inspired the little rhyme; A Christian is a man who feels Repentance on a Sunday, For what he did on Saturday, And is going to do on Monday, will someday have to answer to God Himself for the shame and reproach he has brought upon the cause of Christ.
