And, at a recent breakfast meeting
here, Rep. Jones said he wouldn’t seek
professional outsiders to aid in his cam
paign. He said he had the fullest confi
dence in his friends.
Gov. Scott will endorse Rep. Jones
in Elizabeth City at the site of one of
his own most successful political rallies.
We are sure Chowan County will have
a representative delegation there to enjoy
the good music, eat free fish, applaud
Rep. Jones and for dessert, welcome Gov.
Bob Scott.
New But Impressive
One of North Carolina’s newest Su
perior Court jurists is holding court this
week Heelia’s oldest courthouse
Judge Robert Rouse, Jr., of Farmville
is impressive as well as impressed.
While he is all business in conducting
his court, he is friendly, courteous, con
siderate, firm, compassionate and doesn’t
mind laughing—even at himself.
Judge Rouse showed he is considerate
when he notified Mrs. Lena M. Leary,
clerk of Superior Court, that Labor Day
would be observed.
Tuesday morning he said it was a per
sonal pleasure and privilege to be in
Edenton. “The people in North Carolina
are grateful for your heritage and pres
tige and appreciate the fact that you
share it with others from time to time,”
he noted.
His manner of speech is friendly and
his actions courteous. His firmness was
demonstrated when he told the grand
jury: “No man is above the law—no man
is too humble to not warrant your pro
tection.”
Then he had to inject a bit of Jiumor.
When telling the grand jury to inspect
certain county facilities he naturally men
tioned the jail. With a broad smile he
said: “And you have the most famous
jail in North Carolina at the present
moment.”
As the dullness of the afternoon hour
hung over the proceedings, the judge was
talking to a defendant about his ability
to employ an attorney to assist him. The
exchange was like:
Judge: Do you have any children?
Answer: I have four but support only
three.
Judge: Does your wife work?
Answer: I’m not married.
Judge: Well, then, I went at it in the
wrong way.
Pause.
Judge, resting his chin in his hands
and smiling: I don’t know whether you
are better off or not.
John F. White is representing the de
fendant.

J4ea rd&Seen
“By Buff"
Roy Emminizer early this week brought
to The Herald office just about the largest
lima bean pod I’ve ever seen. Hie thing
was about 13 inches long after shriveling
up over a few days on my desk. In the
pod was 24 large size lima beans. Gosh,
if he had brought a couple more of the
things I could have had enough for a meal.
■—- o- ■—
And speaking about big things, Mrs. Ber
tie Warner sent in some kind of a mon
strosity which she found in a flower bed.
lit was a wicked-looking thing, something
on the order of a caterpillar—only it was
not. It had no (fuzz, was green and white
with a yellow head and two large black
eyes. On its body were short wire-like
protrusions. The thing was about five
inches long and about as round as a 10-
cent cigar. Mrs. Warner wanted to find
out if I knew what it was, but darned if
I know for it was the first time I saw such
a wierd-looking thing. (Maybe it came here
from the moon.
o
Jack Bond brought me three cigars the
other day. ‘What!” I asked him, “are you
the daddy of triplets?” But Jack hurriedly
explained that they were cigars given to
him on account of new babies, but he does
not smoke cigars, and gave ’em to me to
get rid of ’em.
o
For the information of her many friends,
the Missus was released from Chowan Hos
pital Tuesday afternoon and as of this
writing Wednesday nfternoon she is at
home. Still very weak, she is confined to
a bed, unable to write her two columns for
The Herald. She is high in her praise for
her treatment and attention at the hospi
tal—and here’s one who seconds the “mo
tion.” So many people, too, have visited
her, sent cards, letters and flowers, as well
as food. But one of the nicest things hap
pened the other day while I was on the
way to Peoples Sank & Trust Company. In
front of the Cupola House was three little
colored boys and as I stepped on the side
walk one of them yelled, “Mr. Bufflap, how
is Mrs. Bufflap?” I didn’t know them, but
they struck a soft spot in my heart.
o
And speaking about the bank, if you
.feel a bit hungry, you should visit the
bank. On one of the counters is a big
stock of Campbell’s tomato soup. I asked
one of the tellers what the idea was. She
told me that anyone opening a savings ac
count or adding to one will be given a can
of the soup. At first I thought they were
serving free meals—but whoever heard of
a bank giving something away? „
You’re Invited
The public is invited to a tour of the
N. C. Museum of Art in “slides’ ’to be
presented at the Municipal Building to
night Thursday) at 8 o’clock.
Elsewhere in this issue can be found
an admission slip which the Chowan Arts
Council would like each person to fill in,
and deposit, without signature, in a box
at the entrance to the Council Room.
The brief slide showing is accompanied
by professional narration and should
prove interesting to all who can be pres
ent. The Chowan Arts Council looks
forward to hearing from the community.
MAN TRIED
Continued from Pace 1
The judge earlier commended Edenton
Police Department officers for the “qual
ity” of the job in preparing the case.
He indicated he would put Hughes on
probation since “I don’t see any useful
purpose to be served in sending this
young man to prison.”
The plea came as a complete surprise
when court convened Wednesday.
Selection of a jury started late Tues
day afternoon and the list was exhausted.
Judge Rouse ordered 25 additional jurors
drawn and notified to report Wednes
day morning. Sheriff Troy Toppin said
he served 22 of the summons—the other
three being out of the county.
The grand jury, of which R. Graham
White is foreman, returned an indictment
of murder against Catherine Elizabeth
Bunch.
In other action Tuesday, in cases call
ed by Solicitor Herbert Small, the fol
lowing occurred:
Edward Earl Toler, drunk driving,
SIOO fine and costs.
Carl Jean Rea, drunk driving, SIOO
fine and costs.
James Herman Jordan, speeding, $lO
fine and costs.
Charles Clyde Pittman, drunk driving
and no liability insurance, four months,
suspended upon payment of S2OO fine
and costs.
Edward Holley, drunk driving and
driving while license suspended .abandon
ed appeal.
v William Roscoe, reckless driving and
no operator’s license, four months, sus
pended upon payment of SIOO fine and
costs.

facilities can be installed to handle the
new Chowan Hospital.
Jesse L. Harrell, chairman of both the
hospital board and Board of Public
Works, said the hospital will be turned
over to the trustees next week. It can
not be occupied until the pump station
is installed.
Mayor Byrum said the town was tak
ing steps to condemn the Byrum, Waff
and Hobowsky properties.
The town accepted a plan presented
by Merrill Evans, Jr., for the second
section of Morgan Park. Mayor Byrum
appointed a committee to study certain
aspects of the plat and report at an early
meeting.
Council also said action would be tak
en where sub-standard houses have been
torn down but debris not moved.
Council, acting on recommendations
from the planning board, approved the
rezoning of certain properties on North
Broad Street and Carteret Street from
residential to commercial.
The town also passed a resolution on
assessments.
Gardner was authorized to advertise
for two new police cars.
Councilmen discussed the condition of
the tennis courts and Boy Scout Hut,
now owned by Edenton-Chowan Schools.
Council agreed that if the owners are
not going to keep up the property then
the town should purchase it.
JONES CONCERNED
Con tinned from Page 1
and to provide financial assistance
through the Farmers Home Administra
tion for those who have suffered serious
losses since 80 per cent of all hog cholera
in the nation is located in Southeastern
Virginia and Northeastern North Caro
lina,” said Rep. Jones.
He stated further that he had on this
date discussed this matter again with
Dr. Soulman and Commissioner Graham
and he was advised that effective at
12:01 A. M., Tuesday, a Federal quar
antine was imposed over all areas East
of Chowan River to the Atlantic Ocean
to extend from 30 to 60 days, and a
similar quarantine would be placed over
a large area of Southeast Virginia in an
effort to eradicate this disease.
During this period a comprehensive
investigation will be made by Federal
and State officials to determine the possi
ble extent of this disease both in and
outside the quarantined area, and when
specific areas could be cleared by in
vestigators they would be immediately
released from quarantine.
The North Carolina counties under
quarantine are Gates, Chowan, Perquim
ans, Pasquotank, Camden and Ctarrituck.
Seven counties in Tidewater Virginia in
clude: Sussex, Southampton, Isle of
Wight, Surry, Nansemond, Chesapeake
and Virginia Beach.
Commissioner Graham said he “sin
cerely regrets the necessity for this ac
tion which will be costly to the swine
industry in this area of our state right
now.”
But Graham said the wisdom of the
move “will be reflected in confining and
controlling hog cholera in the months
ahead.
The U. S. Department of Agriculture
has sent additional manpower into the
quarantined area in a search for hog
cholera. Extra laboratory equipment is
being brought in to speed identification
of suspected cases.
Commissioner Graham said there is
not to be any farm-to-farm market move
ment of swine within the area, except
movement to slaughter houses, which re
ceive certificates of inspection.
He said although the measures may
seem harsh at the moment they “will
hasten the day when North Carolina will
be a hog cholera-free state.”
Pete Thompson, Chowan County ex
tension chairman, has again joined state
and federal officials in a plea for farm
ers to cooperate in this massive effort
to stamp out hog cholera.
“While there was apparently much
progress made in recent weeks there
were new cases diagnosed which required
this immediate action,” he said. “With
the continued cooperation of everyone
involved the quarantine can be lifted
much sooner and things can return to
normal.”
Thompson praised the work of state
