Hotel Continues Operation
It is interesting to note that Chowan Coun
ty Commissioners and Haughton Ehringhaus
have reached successful negotiations for con
tinued operation of Hotel Joseph Hewes.
Edenton needs a hotel, but the County
Commissioners cannot legally operate a ho
tel, for they are not in the hotel business.
They purchased the hotel property about a
year ago at a ridiculously low price primari
ly to eliminate the necessity lor having county
offices scattered all over town and, of course,
a sizeable amount paid out annually for rent.
However, the hotel has more room than is
needed for office space, so that an arrange
ment has been made for Mr. Ehringhaus to
use all of the space not needed by the county
for hotel purposes. The arrangement also
calls for Mr. Ehringhaus to surrender any
part of the hotel if and when it will be need
ed to house county offices.
The arrangement should be satisfactory, for
the Commissioners will have ample room for
office space and at the same time Edenton
will not be without hotel accommodations,
an asset to any town.
The hotel has not been a paying proposi
tion in Edenton for a number of years, but
Mr. Ehringhaus appears very optimistic that
in the not too distant future business will
greatly increase. It is to be hoped his vision
will materialize and that any sacrifice he
makes will' be compensated by a flourishing
business and further that he will derive no
little satisfaction in the fact that he was not
willing to allow a hotel in Edenton to go out
of existence. ,
A group of Edenton merchants, too, ap
parently feel optimistic about the future of a
hotel. Ten of them came to the aid of Mr.
Ehringhaus to underwrite the purchase of
hotel furnishings, without which Mr. Ehring
haus could not have continued operation.
There were also other merchants who would
have joined in the underwriting of the pur
chase.
The general feeling in Edenton is that a
hotel is very essential, so that the County
Commissioners and Mr. Ehringhaus are to be
commended in reaching an agreement where
by a hotel in Edenton will continue in op
eration.
Welcome
Continental Raking Company’s announce
ment. carried in last week's Chowan Herald,
of their purchase of the Albemarle Peanut
Company caught most of us by surprise. Tt
was a nice surprise and they are a most wel
come addition to our. community. It is also
good news that they plan to use the same
employees and to maintain the same manage
ment.
Continental, a giant in their field, can mean
much to Edenton and the surrounding terri
tory. Although they are primarily bakers,
we hope that they will like Edenton and some
time in the future broaden their field of op
erations.
The Chowan Herald in their welcome also
speaks for the business and professional peo
ple of the town. We are sure that they, too,
wish to cooperate with our new industry.
And in passing, a great deal of credit for
the present situation is due A. C. Boyce. It
was largely due to Mr. Boyce that the Albe
marle Peanut Company continued in busi
ness a few years ago when, but for his in
vestment, the concern would have gone out
of business.
There are people in the United States to
day yelling their heads off in praise of de
mocracy without having ever understood what i
democracy means.
Parents of young children should find time
to teach'them courtesy and good manners de
spite the press of other things.
A little promineflce does not go to the head
of a really prominent person.

Gilliam Wood is a very considerate person.
Take last Thursday, for instance when he was
passing out cigars due to an addition to his
family. Mr. and Mrs. Wood had just adopt
ed another, child—a 10-pound boy and Gil
liam, at the Rotary meeting, insisted that I
take two cigars. “I was supposed to take one
to your office,” he said, “so you can take that
one here which will save me a trip down
town.” Neiwly-made daddies, take notice!

I’ve heard of lazy fishermen, some of whom
didn’t care if they got a bite or not because
it would be necessary to take a fish off a
hook and bait it up again. Well Bill Stallings
isn’t exactly lazy when it comes to fishing,
but he doesn’t have to pay as much attention
to his cork as most fishermen. Bill, the way
I get it, has a dog which religiously watches
the corks and as soon as one goes under the
water he gives out a healthy bark. At that
rate. Bill ought to be able to enjoy reading as
well as fishing if he takes his dog along.

Lieut-Col. Ted Boutwell, who has been
stationed in Okinawa with the Marines, drop
ped me a few lines this week saying that he
expects to depart from Okinawa during the
early part of September for a bit of leave to
be with his wife and children who are now
living at Green Cove Springs, Florida. He
then will be sent to Cherry Point, N. C., for
duty with the 2nd Marine Air Wing. “I have
really enjoyed your weekly report of news
about Edenton and Chowan County,” wrote
Ted. “Please discontinue The Herald until
further notice. I’ll send you my correct ad
dress at Cherry Point as soon as I get
settled."

Edenton lost another very fine family Tues
day when Murray B. Lynch, Jr., and his
family moved to Washington, N. C. Mr.
Lynch has for about a year worked in Eden
ton for the Federated Mutual Insurance Com
pany. but has purchased an interest in an
insurance agency in Washington. In having
the address for his Chowan Herald changed,
Mr. Lynch said he regrets very much to leave
Edenton, but that he could not pass up the
opportunity in Washington. We all hate to
see folks leave Edenton. but sometimes the
grass is greener in other parts.

I’ve been called out of the office many
times to look at a nice string of fish, a large
snake, freak vegetables, etc., but Jimmy Og
lesby the other day called me out to look at
a sack which was filled with bugs. Mr. and
Mrs. Oglesby have been tormented like the
dickens at their cottage along Chowan River
due to bugs, gnats, mosquitoes and just about
any kind of insect that flies. Jimmy got sick
and tired of being tormepted so he bought a
contraption composed principally of a light
blue light, a fan and a bag to catch the pesky
insects. The light attracts the insects and
then they are sucked into the bag by the
fan. At one time so many gnats stuck to the
opening that the fan kicked up a noise and
Jimmy thought a bearing had burned out.
Anvway. with so many bugs put out of com
mission at Timmy’s cottage there should have
been a Hide less slamming and banging and
maybe a little cussin’ in the bargain.

It must cause a big thrill when a baseball
player hits out a home run with the bases
loaded, but just as much of a thrill came upon
Cecil Fry one day last week. 'Cecil was
playing golf on the Plymouth golf course

Carlton Goodwin. Cecil made a hole-in-one
during the so that he is eligible for the
Hole-In-One Club.

I’ve heard of a couple instances of “peeping
toms” in town recently. From what I under
stand whoever these "peeping toms” are, they
might give someone an opportunity to peep
at their “southern extremity” through holes
in their pants caused from shot coming from
a shot gun. Well, they would deserve it and
here’s one who has a shot gun which has not
been used to shoot game in a long time. A
“peeping tom” would provide an excellent op
portunity to See if the gun still works.

Though the weather hasn’t been altogether
of the football type, Coach Bill Billings be
gan practice sessions Tuesday to whip into
shape the Edenton Aces for the 196! grid
iron season. Os course, it’s hard work for
the boys, but it takes hard work to develop a
good football machine. What the boys dp
in training now will be reflected in the way
they play When they meet opposition for the
conference crown. The Aces meet Camden

in the first game of the season —and that is
not far away. The majorettes have a jump
