Aces Strong
The Edenton Aces rolled to
another stunning victory, Friday
night at Hick’s Field defeating
Northwest 61-0 as the end of the
regular season approaches. This
Friday night, Edenton travels to
Williamston. The Tigers have lost
, only one game, as have the Aces.
\ Friday night’s game will be an
important one. Edenton,
Williamston, and Murfreesboro
are the front running contenders
in the Albemarle AA Conference,
and there is a possibility of a
three-way tie for the cham
pionship.
Northwest won the toss but
fumbled mi the kick-off, and
Edenton went in to score on*the
first play from scrimmage. Arnold
Brothers made the touchdown.
During the first quarter, the
Aces ran up 27 points with
Brothers, Percy Perry, and Willie
Holley scoring from the 11,12, two
yards out, respectively. Don
Hassell, defensive tackle of the
Aces recovered a fumble, thus
setting up one of the Edenton
scores.
In the latter part of the second
quarter, Brothers made a 62-yard
dash to give the Aces a 34-0
\ halftime lead.
Bill Chesson set up the first
touchdown of the second half on
the opening kick-off. Ray
Bateman went over from the one.
Freshman Gerald Hall in
tercepted a Northwest pass and
Carlton Wills drove in from the
four.
Edenton’s next score came from
Bateman to cap a long drive, and
moments later after an in
terception by Jimmy Fleetwood,
Hall scored from the one for the
final touchdown of the evening.

James Hunt
public parade
Jones, Howies And Hunt
The ballots are long and bulky
for Tuesday’s General election.
The citizens have an unusually
number of highly qualified can
didates from which to choose.
However, there are three
candidates who have proven
ability to move forward and in our
opinion, with the proper mandate
from the voters can make the next
few years the most meaningful in
recent history.
We speak of Rep. Walter B.
Jones of the First Congressional
District; Hargrove (Skipper)
Bowles, candidate for governor;
and James Hunt, candidate for
lieutenant governor. And the fact
that all three are Democrats is not
a coincidence.
In another piece in this column,
we deal fairly completely with the
Jones record in Congress.
Therefore, we won’t rehash it
here, except to say those who
meander along the Public Parade
and throughout the Albemarle
have the greatest friend in
Washington in the person of
Walter B. Jones than they have
ever had.
There is a lot of rhetoric in the
closing days of the campaign
about the control of the U. S.
Senate. While it may rest on the
brink, the control of the N. C.
General Assembly does not. The
election of a Democratic gover
nor, then, is not only the logical
but the only practical course to
follow.
It would not be unthinkable for
the General Assembly to remove
the bulk of the chief executive’s
appointive powers should he be a
member of the opposite party.
(After all, they are placed at the
back of the chamber.) This would
make a Republican governor a
lame duck before the crease got
out of his inaugural duds.
The same logic should be ap
plied to the election of a lieutenant
governor. In this state we are
embarking on a new era in state
government, especially with a full
time lieutenant governor. He must
be a man familiar with the
legislative process and with the
ability to keep the ship of state on
a steady course.
If one lived in Eastern North
Carolina and is of a mind to be
selfish, he would want Jim Hunt in
Raleigh to protect the interest of
this section of Tar Heelia.
A Bowles-Hunt administration,
built on reason and compassion, is
the best bet for protecting North
Carolina’s reputation as the good
government' state.

Thompson, county extension
chairman who is vice chairman of
the observance, said they are
extremely pleased that Com
missioner Graham will speak at
this important function.
Commissioner Graham, a
native of Cleveland in Rowan
County, is popular not only in
agricultural circles but in the
business community as well. He is
considered one of the best known
members of the prestigious Council
of State.
He was appointed Com
missioner of Agriculture on July
29,1964, by Gov. Terry Sanford to
complete the term of die late L. Y.
Ballentine. He was elected to the
post in 1964 and re-elected in 1968.
Commissioner Graham is the
Democratic nominee in Tuesday’s
General Election for re-election to
his third full term in the post
Commissioner Graham taught
vocational agriculture in Iredell
County from 1942 to 1945, when he
became superintendent of the
Upper Mountain Research Station

Chowan Ready For Balloting
Project
jjjelay Noted
At Meeting
The pioneer multi-county solid
waste disposal project is now
expected to become operational by
March 1, members of Chowan
County Planning Board were told
at a meeting Tuesday night.
Melvin Howell, supervisor with
Farmers Home Administration,
explained that some unexpected
delays had been experienced due
to the fact that this is the first
project of this nature. Chowan
Perquimans counties have joined
in a program which was funded
with a loan and grant from FHA.
Earlier surveys indicated it
would not be feasible for either
county to embark on a solid waste
disposal project alone. Since then
a committee composed of
representatives of each county
board of commissioners has been
working with Howell and Howard
Campbell, administrator of the
District Health Department.
Howell did have good news for
the planners. He said it appears at
this time that sufficient monies
will be available to allow up to 45
containers in each county. Earlier
it was estimated that only 30
containers would be spotted
around the counties. There was
some criticism of this plan by
those who felt there was too great
a distance between proposed sites.
George W. Lewis, board
chairman, presided at the meeting
held at Colonial Restaurant. C. A.
Phillips, chairman of the county
board of commissioners, was in
attendance and praised the work
being done by the planning board.
Ragan Speaks
Agreeing with the late Inglis
Fletcher that Edenton 'is the*
garden spot of the world, the
secretary of N. C. Department of
Art, Culture and History has
endorsed the Edenton Symposium
as an annual affair. Sam Ragan of
Southern Pines and Raleigh told a
banquet audience of some 200 last
Wednesday night, “You should try
it again.”
Ragan, speaking at Chowan Golf
& Country Club, noted the success
of the three-day symposium and
added: “This goes to add to the
quality of our lives.” He said the
arts memory of state history
reflects the image of the state.
He also pointed out that North
Carolina is the only state in the
union to establish a department of
develop art, culture and history.
“We have taken a little money and
made it go a long way,” he said,
“but we still have a long way to
go.”
Ragan, noted Tar Heel author
and journalist, expressed the
opinion that the recent
reorganization of state govern
ment provides a tool to improve
the success and efficiency of the
programs dealing with art, culture
and history. He said his goal is to
get the people of this state more
aware of their heritage.
The speaker said his plan in-
