served on the board for 14 years,
Township seat. The vote was: Phillips.
1,176; Jethro. 731: and Pruden. 368.
Another close race was for county
coroner with incumbent Marvin S. Barh
am squeezing by H. B. Williford, Jr..
1,190 to 1,118.
The other contest on the local ticket
was for the State House of Representa
tives. Seat No. One. Rep. W. T. (Bill)
Culpepper. Jr., of Elizabeth City, in ( ho
wan balloting with C. D. (Keppie) fer
iell. Sr. Culpepper received 1.688 votes
while Ferrell was getting 449.
Upon until the final week there had
been little discussion of the local races,
with the state governor’s nomination
gaining the spotlight. However, a lot
of excitement was generated around the
Chowan County Court H°use Saturday
night as the returns trickled in.
Shackelford led Bond by more than
100 votes in Yeopim. Center Hill. Ward
ville and Rocky Hock. Bond made a
good showing in the Edenton boxes to
capture a four-year term on the five
member board.
Hollowell was on the block vote ticket
but Bateman rolled up such a lead in
the rural boxes that the incumbent was
unable to overcome it. The only two
precincts Hollowell carried were in
Edenton but the difference of the vote
in these two boxes \vas not sufficient to
close the gap.
Mrs. Pruden was on the block vote
ballot but Phillips completely outdis
lanced both her and Jethro to gain a
four-year term.
Incumbents with two more years to
-erve are J. Clarence Leary and C. M.
Evans.
