i Senator John Kennedy, who won a land
slide Democratic nomination for President of
the United States at the Democratic National
Convention in Los Angeles, is as fully awgre
as many Democrats that his Roman Catholic
religion will serve as a handicap for his elec
tion in the November general election. In
fact he himself says he is 'fully aware of the
fact that the Democratic party, by nominat
ing someone of any faith, has taken on what
manv regard as a new and hazardous risk
new* at least, since 1928, when A1 Smith, also
a Roman Catholic, was defeated for the Presi
dency."
Republicans in North Carolina are capitaliz
ing on this situation and have already started
a vigorous campaign angling for Democratic
votes. This is reflected in a letter just sent
out by William E. Cobb. Chairman of the
North Carolina Republican Executive Com
mittee. who has this to say:
V "We believe that North Carolina people are
k 'shocked by the ultra-liberal and irresponsible
give-away addled by the Democratic Con
vention.
“We know that North Carolina people are
deeply disappointed in Terry Sanford in that
he made possible the nomination of Kennedy,
the candidate who represents most what the
South refutes.
‘•We take this occasion to assure fellow
North Carolinians that the Republican Party
will give them a conservative platform both
on the national and stale -levels.
“We have in our candidate for Governor,
Robert L. Gavin-,- a man the electorate can
trust.
“We will give them shortly a candidate for
President who was educated in North Caro
lina and who understands and is sympathetic
with our problems.
"To all Democrats and Independents we
open the door to the Republican Party. We
welcome support and we are glad for advice.
6 , “Along with Democrats who have taken
(enough, we shall carry North Carolina Re
publican in 1960. The time has come for both
parties to recognize our state as capable of in
dependent action at the polls.
“Republican victory in 1960 will mean that
the voice of Tarheels shall be heeded for the
future."
The Herald respects the religion of every
individual, but adheres to the Constitution of
the United States that there should be com
plete separation of church and state. The
President of the United States should not owe
his first allegiance to a foreign power but
rather be in position to render free and fair
judgment in upholding the Constitution.
Senator Kennedy made the statement that
he will uphold the Constitution and his oath
of office and that he will reject any kind
of religious pressure or obligation that might
directly or indirectly interfere with his con
duct of the presidency in the national inter
est.* He emphatically stated that his religious
affiliation is irrelevant, and that his decisions
oSu every public policy will be his own —as
an American, a Democrat and a free man.
With this assurance, coupled with his quali
fications. Democrats have every reason to be
lieve Senator Kennedy will make a good Pres
ident, and that his religious faith should not
be the paramount factor in failing to vote for
him His record of 14 years in the United
States Senate reflects, especially in the field
of education, that he is a supporter of com
plete separation of church and state.
North Carolina Republicans are trying te
woo Democratic voters even before their can
didate is nomiated in an effort to put the
Old North State in the Republican column,
lliey may win over some Democratic voters,
but with the type of steMtard bearers on the
Democratic ticket. Tar Heels should easily re

; i- was asked Tuesday to try to do a good
turn. for the Edenton Woman’s Club. The
club,' the way I understand, owns three co
lonial costumes but now the ladies have only
two. They are of the opinion that the other
ope was loaned for some occasion and has not
been returned. Here’s hoping that whoever
has the costume will return it, so that the
dub’s “wardrobe’’ will be complete. Phone
2624 and the ladies will be happy. Then I’ve
beep told there are only four colonial- cos
fumes now in Edenton, the three belonging
so the Woman’s Club and one owned by Mrs.
Robert Boyce. But it won’t be for long un
til there should be a back log of colonial cos
tumes. It is my understanding that the Wo
man’s Club plans to secure IS of the costumes
and" the Edenton Tea Party Chapter of the
DAR is also planning to get 15. It is plan
ned to use a lot of colonial costumes in the
promotional film of Edenton and Chowan
County soon to be made and I’m told there'll
be a lot of the costumes used when the Wo
man’s Club stages its pilgrimage next year,
the Woman’s Club would like to get
the rose costume which is now missing.
o
On the front page is a picture of a crow
gun being used on Chowan County farms to
scare off crows and other pests which damage
crops. There’s one not far from the city
limits, which went off when a woman was
driving near Leary Bros. Storage Company.
Just like I did a few weeks ago, she thought
a tire had blown out so, of course she crawl
ed out of her car to take a look. She was
relieved when she found no flat tire, and drove
off probably wondering what in the dickens
happened.
o
While eating breakfast at a local restaurant
the other morning a group of tourists dropped
ip and I easily overheard part of the conver
sation. One said, “This is a beautiful and
clean-looking town. I wonder what the pop
ulation is.’’ Another in the party replied,
“Oh, it’s just a small place, probably 4.000 or
5,000.’’ But then a third one in the party
chimed in. “Well, I don’t know how big the
place is, but it r s really a football town.’’ Well,
he was about right, but a lot of us remember
when Edenton was just as much a baseball
town. Time was that when a baseball game
was on tap it was virtually a holiday so far
as down town business was concerned. Yeah,
and some of us r easily remember when half
dozen or so games of checkers were in pro
gress at almost any time of the day. Times
change!

In the mail this week was a brief letter
from Mrs. Helen Pressgrove in which was
enclosed a check for a year’s subscription to
The Herald. Mrs. Pressgrove lives in Van
Nuys, California and had this, in part, to say:
“I hope this check will bring me up to date
on the Herald. I look forward to receiving it
each Monday and would be lost without the
news from around there.”

Clyde Slade, one of The Herald’s crew,
has been doing some work at imy house such
as cutting hedges and pulling grass from
around flowers and evergreens. However,
Clyde has run up against two problems. In
the first place a gang of wasps’inhabited the 1
hedge, so that he had to arm himself with a
lighted rag on a stick and a sprayer, which
enabled him to come out the victor. But
while pulling grass he came upon a few small
garden snakes which almost caused him to
give up the job. Clyde is scared of a snake
period, even if it is no longer thah a fishing
worm. In fact, he says he’s seated of four
kinds of snakes—big ones, little ones, live
ones and dead ones.

Thank goodness, not all semblance of ap
preciation has passed away. The other day
Nathan Dail, one of Edenton’s rural mail car
riers, had an experience which proved that
some people are still very appreciative. While
on his mail route, Nathan came upon Mrs.
Eunice Lipham who had an automobile acci
dent on the highway in the Cowpen Neck
section. He rendered what assistance he
could and was thanked by Mrs. Lipham as he
went about his duty of delivering mail. After
thf accident Airs. Lipham entered Chowan
Hospital for examination and while there she
wrote a note of thanks and sent it to the
mail carrier. To say the least, Nathan was
very much impressed with the note, for in
nine cases out of ten, the “thank you” at the
scene of the-accident would have been enough
fdr the appreciation for what Nathan had
done.; - ■•„••■-■•■• ,<y

Edenton Marina was a popular place Friday
morning when a large crowd gathered to wit
ness an alligator Which was shot by Carlton
JJkoo and towed to die Marina by Frank
Twiddy, who found the dead jeptile after it
«a»‘ shot Wednesday afternoon. All kinds
git; Stories have been going the rounds, one
of ,which is that an alligator will not attack
« human being, that it will not eat fresh meat,
fit* tsmrijt RIBALD, KDEWTOIf, WORTH CABOLIRA, THBBSPAT, JULY 21, Is>B.
that it will not pass under a
bridge and so on. Whether
one will attack a person or not,
here’s one who don’t want any
thing at all to do with an alli
gator. The looks of one is
enough. Anyway, killing the
alligator will put at rest some
opinions that certain people
have handled the truth rather
recklessly when they reported
having seen an alligator in
Pembroke Creek.

Apparently water skiing is
headed to be a popular sport
in Edenton, for Scott Harrell
tells me that thus far about
45 have learned to ski. He
further says that about 10
have been showing up each af
ternoon to take the skiing les
sons. which are taught Mon-|
day, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday afternoons withj
Wednesday afternoon reserved,
especially for adults. If the |
interest continues, says Mr. l
Harrell, the ski school will be
carried on through next week.
The school is sponsored by
the Edenton Junior Chamber
of Commerce, with Scott Har
rell and other Jaycees serving j
as instructors. It’s a lot of
fun. say those who are inter
ested in the sport.

quirements. To meet this
Changing need, an increasing
amount of farm credit from
North Carolina banks is on an
intermediate-term repayment ba
sis.
“Intermediate-term loans are
most frequently needed for farm
machinery and equipment, live
stock, soil improvements, addi
tional land, and
short-term notes,” says Mr. At
kinson. “Over one-half of all
bank farm mortgage loans are
used to finance these intermedi
ate-type capital expenses.
“As a further service to help
farmers improve their operations,
about one-third of all other bank
farm loans have a repayment
program longer than one year.
Banks serve farmers with far
more intermediate-term credit
than any other group of lend
ers.”
Mr. Atkinson believes that
farmers and bankers working to
gether in this way make North
Carolina agriculture more pros
perous. He reported that over
94 per cent of the insured com
mercial banks in North Carolina
are serving fanners with agri
cultural loans.
