Hanging In Balance
It is interesting to learn that a group of
Edenton merchants are enough interested to
continue the operation of a hotel in Edenton
that they are willing to underwrite the pur
chase of the hotel furnishings.
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

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
