Only a mother, and in this
cast the mother of the maid,
could have written this book. It
is a work of literature, true, butj
in the final analysis, it is a work:
of love.
The author, Emily Badhami
Coxe, was born and reared in 1
Edenton, and the plot of Mother
of the Maid deals with the vi
carious fruition of the author’s
girlhood ambition, who was
“grease paint happy” and desir-:
ed a theatrical career. One of i
the author’s earliest experiences!'
was the thrill of attending the]
Adams Floating Theatre which!
occasionally tied up at the Eden- 1
ton docks. Adams Theatre’s’'
repertoire usually consisted of
plays that had such lines as “un-i
hand that girl, you villain,” but I

off 41 and 14-yard runs. Hop
kins and Tolley also turned in
some neat gains. With the ball
on the 14-yard line Spivey
broke through for the touch
down. Tolley slipped through
the line for the extra point.
Hopkins was the work horse
Tor this game. He scored two
of the touchdowns, two of the
extra points and was called upon,
to carry the ball more than any|
of the other backfield men. He
carried the ball 24 times and
all but twice he gained ground, j
Richard Dixon turned in one
of his best performances and
he,! too, was a consistent ground
gaiher. He scored one of the
touchdowns and was called upon'

jto direct or channel her off
. spring’s life. It is warmly and
1 the youngster loved it.
So, since circumstances frown
ed on the young author and
withheld the prize of actress,
when she grew up and had a
daughter of her own and the
opportunity arose ta thrust her
daughter', Emmy, in the lime
light, she jumped at the chance.
But this time the prize was go
iqg to be the winning of the
Cotton Maid contest and not the
career of an actress.
Mother of the Maid tells the!
story of mama Coxe’s putting
daughter, Emmy, through her
paces to the final winning. of
the Cotton Maid Contest. It is
a hilarious comedy of the
“mama knows best” variety, but
lacking the arrogant parental at
titude that usually pervades the
scene when a parent undertakes
to carry the ball 15 times and
in every case added yardage.
Carroll Forehand played an
exceptionally good game at
quarterback and Leroy Spivey
had one of his best nights, scor
ing a touchdown and thrilling
the spectators on two occasions
when it appeared that he would
outdistance the Williamston de
i fenders.
Jerry Tolley, while playing a
very good game, was a marked
man, so that he had a hard time
j in chalking up 62 yards during
the game.
] The entire Edenton defense
played about the most effective
game thus far. While opening
i holes for the Aces’ ball carriers,
affectionately written, and it is
plain to see that there is a warm
and affectionate bond between ’
•mother and daughter.
Finally, the story mushrooms
to the climax—the “winnah!”,
And in Mother of the Maid, you
might say, “cotton” and the
“maid” grew up together, so it is
only logical and fitting that the
two should form a winning team. 1

the linemen were very stingy in]
yielding ground, so that the!
Green Wave was held to only|
14 yards rushing. In the second 1
half the visitors were even held!
to minus five yards. In this de-j
partment Jimmy White was 1
again a standout and was ably'
assisted by Charles Cuthrell,
Wayne Baker, Jack Sawyer,!
