* ft ' t
Practically every seat was oc
cupied in the auditorium of the
Rocjcy Bock Community Center
Thursday night when the Rocky
Hock baseball club prc:ented
the Oriole Minstrel “Cotlontown
Carnival." It was said !o be
the finest local entert nment
seen in this section in many a
day.
So well was the show received
that it will be presented again
Thursday night, February 23, at
8 o’clock in the auditorium of
the Edenton Elementary School.
The proceeds of this show will
help support the Rocky Hock
baseball dub and the John A.
Holmes High School Band.
Each act of tne three-act
comedy is a show within itself
with each member of the cast
performing like real profession
als. Jack Evans, “Mr. Interlocu
r tor,” and the end men, Alvin
Bunch, Britton Byrum, Sammy
Morris, Wallace Evans, Murray
Tynch, Jr., and San\my Byrum
brings an evening of good clean
entertainment for the entire
family. “The Honey Hams from
Hoey Hollow,” Becky Harrell,
Loretta Bunch, Esther Layton
and Mary Alice Perry are real j
honeys with their melody of
songs. The Clpd Dancers from
Tim-Buc-Tu, Wallace Evans and
Sammy Morris, give a fine ex
hibition of old-time dancing. The
singing of the entire chorus is
well worth the admission price.
Returning home from Cotton-j
town, “The Rev. Tarball Jones,”
Britton Byrum brings an inspir
ing message to the entire cast!
closing the show with a fine
old spiritual.

Assistant County Agent
New Look For 4-H
The new look or new direc
tion for the state 4-H Club pro
gram was discussed by com
munity leaders Monday. C. W.
Overman, County Agricultural
Agent, gave a brief history- of
the Chowan 4-H program. He
pointed out that changes have
been taking place in our pro
gram and will continue to do so.
“This new direction cf 4-H is
toward a community 4-H Club j
program. In the past, we have i
relied mainly on school 4-H
Clubs, using community clubs to
supplement this program,” Mr.!
Overman said. “Now we must j
look toward community clubs if i
we want this program which is |
doing so much for boys and j
girls to continue.”
Miss Pauline Calloway, Home
Economics Agent, presented the
county situation. She pointed
out that there are now six school
4-H Clubs with a total mem
bership of over 250 boys and
girls. Five community 4-H
THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 9, 1961.
Clubs are now active —Advance,
Oak Grove, Rocky Hock and
two at Center Hill. The mem
bership in these cluos now totals
109. Miss Calloway also noted
that in the school clubs all
communities are represented, but
only four communities are now
represented by existing com
munity clubs. .. “If we are to
meet the challenge, then more
clubs and more leaders will be
needed,” she said.
Community leaders having
parts on the program were Mr.
Bristol Perry and Mrs. Carlton
Perry from Advance; Mrs. Cam
eron Boyce, Center Hill; Mrs.
Jack Leary, Rocky Hock, and
Mrs. Lester Copeland, from Ry
land community. They told the
group of some of the activities
4-H’ers participate in on a com
munity basis and as individuals.
Some of the plans these leaders
have were also presented. All
of them felt that the boys and
girls and they themselves and
their communities are being
benefitted by an active 4-H
program.
Miss Catherine Aman, assist
ant home economics agent, pre
sented a suggested community
4-H organization. This consisted
of three main groups. Group
I was called a sponsoring com
mittee, and they have definite
responsibilities, including the se
lection of the other two groups.
Group 11, adult community club
leaders, also have definite re
sponsibilities. It is this group
that works closely with the boys
and girls, holds regular meet
ings, etc. The third group will
also work with boys and girls
but on a more informal basis.
They are designated as project
leaders, and will help individual
boys and girls with the project
of which they are leaders. Miss
Aman pointed out that all of
these groups must work togeth
er, and that responsibilities of
any group in one community
may differ from another.
The leaders present felt that
this plan will work to give us
a more stable 4-H community
program. A county advisory
group was also discussed and
names suggested. They will be
contacted and informed of the
new program and their respon
sibilities.
Present at the meeting be
sides those already named were
25 leaders representing eight of
nine communities. Guests in
cluded Mr. Lyman Dixon, Dis
trict 4-H Club Leader and sev
eral Extension agents from
neighboring counties.
100th Anniversary
Confederate States
Continued from Page I—Section 1
vis, a nat’ve of Kentucky and
a resident ot Mississippi, and al
so a United States Army officer
(graduate of West Point), Sena
tor and Secretary of War, be
came the first and only presi
dent. Alexander H. Stephens,
of Georgia, who had served in
the United States House of Rep
resentatives, and later as Gov
ernor of his State, became the
vice Ppresident. All of the se
ceded Southern States ratified
the constitution, and President
Davis let it be known that
slaves would cease to be prop
erty.
North Carolina was not among!
I the first group of States to se
cede from the Union. Just as
she had been slow to join the
United States, after the Revo
lutionary War, she again adopt
ed a policy of “wait and see.”
She, like many other States, was
hopeful that a compromise of
the disagreements, between the
North and the South, could be
brought about. She waited to
learn the results of the Wash
ington Peace Conference Febru
ary 4-27, 1861, promoted by Vir
ginia, and to which she had sent
delegates; also the results of,
other peace movements. When
she realized that all efforts for
a compromise had failed, she
then made her decision to leave
the Union and join the Southern
Confederacy. This she did—be
cause of her deep convictions
concerning the rights of sov
ereign States, and her determin
ation not to be a party to the
coercion of her sister Southern
States back into the Union.
| There were many incidents
•and occasions which brought
j about the reasons for the se
j cession of the Southern States
from the United States, and the
I formation of the Southern Con
! federacy. They all fitted to-
I gether as one cause, that of the
j Rights of States. As early as
j 1791, during Alexander Hamil-
I ton's time as secretary of the
United States Treasury, there
was dissension between the
North and the South concerning
! the redeeming of Revolutionary
war bonds, and other matters,
which almost caused the seces
sion of the North from the !
United States. Later, during the
years when new states and ter
ritories sought admission to the
Union, the North and the South
continued to have disagree
ments. The South thought that
new states and territories should
come into the Union with the
same rights guaranteed the
original thirteen States, and this
belief, along with a difference
of interest,s gave her ideas about
leaving the Union. President
James Buchanan temporized
matters to some extent,, but by
1860 and 1861, matters had
grown worse, and eleven States
seceded from the Union and
joined the Southern Confederacy.
Even though the government
of the Southern Confederacy
existed just four years, 1861-
1865, the courage and valor of
its people, like those of the
Union, deserve the honor and
respect of all Americans. In dy
ing the Confederate States of
America left the people of the
United States a great legacy—a
torch to carry to light the way
in safeguarding the rights of the
States within the United States.

through school clubs, was favor-;
