As is well known, the hotel property was purchased about a year ago at a ridiculously low price by the Chowan County Commission ers. The purpose primarily was to transform the building into offices to house the various county departments which are now scattered all about town and rentals for which amount to a tidy sum annually. The Commissioners leased the property to Haughton Ehringhaus who has continued op eration of the hotel and has done so at a loss. He is willing, however, to continue to operate the hotel on the premise that a hotel is a dis tinct asset to the community, as do the most of the merchants and many of Edenton’s citi zens. True, Edenton has a group of first class motels to accommodate tourists and those coming to Edenton on business, but there is something about a hotel that adds to the prestige of a community. There has been a hotel in Edenton since colonial days and for a long time two hotels were in operation. It is pointed out that ho tel guests, being in the heart of the business section, quite frequently walk about the streets and visit the nearby historical points of interest. They lounge ih the hotel lobby and thus meet and become acquainted with people who happen to be there and often times learn a great deal about the town and its historical heritage. / As was stated at the County Commission- ers’ meeting Monday, it is little less than a disgrace to he without a hotel and that pass ing of a hotel will be detrimental to the com munity. The County Commissioners are now using portions of the first and second floors for of fice space but appear to be willing to make some arrangement for the third and fourth floors to be used as a hotel. m A hotel in Edenton for many years has teen, on the whole, a losing proposition, but it is to be hoped that some plan can be con sumated whereby a hotel in Edenton will not pass from the scene. Quick But Wise Decision Chowan County Commissioners took quick but wise action Thursday night when they | unanimously agreed to approve a water re sources survey for Chowan County. Their action followed in a special meeting which followed shortly after hearing water resources experts explain the advantages of such a sur vey and at what a bargain price the survey can be secured. Geologists pointed out the dictinct ad vantages to be realized by a water resources survey not only to residents of the county but in valuable information concerning water in connection with prospective industries. The survey will provide definite informa tion as to where water can be found, how deep it is, its characteristics and the quantity “available. This is valuable information which could not otherwise be obtainable. The survey covers a period of years of re search for which charts will be furnished and made available to citizens of the county, which will eliminate much of the present about water. The program represents an expenditure of $72,000, of which the county’s part will be ,000 per year for the four year period. The and federal governments bear the re mainder of the expense. Chowan County is the second county in the eastern part of the *state to adopt the program, Martin County be the first, and aiding considerably acquir *iitg ks latest industry. Joe Conger, Jr., chairman of the Water Re sources Committee of the Chamber of Com *faefce, is to be commended upon his efforts Tn arranging for the program to be explained mmd the County Commissioners are to be cem jdfmested for their quick actios in approving the project which can he of incalculable worth ■ / *——— - bHj ' / i Heard & Seen Byßuff J. Clarence Leary was sworn in as a County j Commissioner Monday to succeed Gilliam Wood, who resigned following his appointment to the State Highway Commission. Clarence was ‘•initiated” by an extra long meeting the first time he served. Usually the Commissioners wind up their business before 1 o’clock but Monday’s session carried over until about 3:30 in the afternoon. The “initiation” was nothing new for Clarence, however, for he had for many years served as a Town Councilman and that gang need not be surprised to remain in session until the wee sma’ hours—which they have often done while Clarence was a member. Tuesday night's meeting of the Councilmen, however, was sort of an exception, for they wound up the month’s business by about 10:30 o’clock time enough for the whole gang to go to Mayor John Mitchener’s drug store and make a wholesale raid on" his ice cream supply. Anyway, an oc casional relatively short meeting is very wel come as it was Tuesday night. o Mrs. Jimmy Manning stepped in the office the other day. “Now I’ve seen everything,” she said as she referred to seeing a prominent Edenton man parading around in Bermuda shorts. Now I’ll not be surprised to next see Wilborne Har rell and Bufflap blooming forth in shorts.” Well, Wilborne can talk for himself, but when I look at the shape of some of the legs of those wearing shorts, I figure mine would not lend to any improvement to the “scenery. ’ But even Josiah Elliott donned a pair of shorts the other night. He came across a pair which was given to him seven years ago but he never wore ’em. However, on one of the hot nights last week he mustered up enough nerve to crawl into em, but got no further than his back yard. And in fact he did not tarry in the back yard very long for, he says, the pesky mosquitoes tried to carry off what legs he has. Anybody want to buy a pair of shorts cheap? See Josiah! o John Harney, an Edenton boy, this week passed the State Bar examination and plans to hang up his shingle in Charlotte. It will be in teresting to know that one of the questions in his exam was: On July 1, 1961, Joseph Hewes VII, a descend ant of Joseph Hewes, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, died testate. He left a large plantation in Chowan County, North Carolina, upon which his distinguished ancestor had lived and died, and also personal property of the value of SIOO,OOO. The only dispositive provision in his will bearing date December 25, 1959, reads as follows: “2. I give all of my property of every kind whatsoever, real, personal and mixed, and where soever situated, unto my wife, Mary Hewes, ab solutely and in fee simple.” Mary Hewes died several days before her hus band passed aWay. Their marriage had not been blessed with issue. John Doe. the son of Mary , by a former marriage, and Jack Hewes, a brother of Joseph Hewes VII, survived both of them, and were the only survivors. What rights of inheritance do John Doe and Jack Hewes have in the estate of Joseph Hewes VII? Give reasons. Chowan County Commissioners, and especi ally Chairman Winks Bond, had sort of a hard time keeping their minds on their business on Monday. (Maybe that's why they had to extend the meeting into the afternoon). The reason was that a group of John A. Holmes High School majorettes, all diked out in shorts, were prac ticing out on the Court House Green directly in front of the doorway. It was also hard for a newspaper reporter to keep his mind of his business, too. o And speaking about the majorettes, that gang of girls have been meeting almost daily recent ly—and in sweltering weather —getting ready for the football season. If interest and effort count for anything, the majorettes department should be ready for some first class entertain- I ment when the gridiron season opens. Too bad, though, that they cannot can some of the recent heat, for it would come in mighty handy some of those cold nights when even hot coffee doesn’t help a whole lot in keeping the press box gang warm. o Edenton Jaycees will stage another Go-Kart race Sunday afiernoon at 2 o’clock on the track at the base. Five races are scheduled for the afternoon and the Jaycees predict even more ex citing and thrilling races than the one held two weeks age. Town Councilman made such a poor showing at the initial race that they have not been invited to participate, but I have a speejal invitation from Bill Easterlng to attend. o J. Lynn Perry dropped in the office the other day. At first I thought he was getting ready to pass out a cigar. (They’re usually all smiles when “paying off” for an addititon to the fam ily). But J. Lynn w.as all smiles because he was showing a beautiful Benrus wrist watch he had wone over at the Northeastern Milling Com pany. It is a beauty so no wonder he was all smiles. “It’s the first thing I ever won,” he said. o Mrs. William P. Bishop, a Herald subscriber who lives in Lawrenceville, Va., sent in her sub scription renewal and had this to say: “ I read many names in the paper I do not recognize af ter being away from Edenton for about 20 years. But there are many I do know and it is good to read of the home town news.” Yep, there are a lot of new faces in Edenton since Mrs. Bishop left the old town, and if she pays a visit she’ll soon find out. o The Methodist Men’s Club will stage a pickled herring and herring roe supper at Sandy Point Beach Friday night beginning at 6:30 o’cleok. The supper will be free to members of the con gregation and thoir families. Me and my THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, AU6U6T id I8»L 20 YEARS ACT Continued from Pago 1.
