O'Connor Continued From Page 4-A Gov. Charles Brantley Aycock, the turn-of-the-century chief executive who is widely con sidered the founder of univer sal public education in North Carolina and who is one of Hunt's historical idols. Smith says he's "actively con sidering (the office) but out of respect for Harlan I wouldn't do a thing until he says he's not going to run." Boyles, while refusing to announce who his "worthy successor" might be, said he was keeping mum un til that person was ready to announce. Smith said he's un willing to focus on the job, in any capacity, until after Exploris opens. In separate interviews, the two refused to announce that they are dance partners, but refused to deny it, either. The Boyles-Smith tango has the potential to affect other races. The scuttlebutt of late had Richard Moore, the star TV personality of the state's disaster relief press confer ences and state secretary of crime control and public safety, running for treasurer — especially if the office were open. But Moore would have a tough race against someone of Smith's stature. That could lead Moore to stick to his origi nal plan to run for the Demo cratic nomination for lieuten ant governor, a nod also being pursued by Sen. Beverly Per due of New Bern. Smith worked for the Governor's Crime Commission for 15 years, eight of them as direc tor under Hunt. Coffey Continued From Page 4-A Another death brought this | response: “My God! How many i awful trials of this kind are we I doomed to sustain only in the course ofa very short life! And i what would be human exist ence but for the hope of a bet ter and happier futurity!” I, The demands on Iredell in creased with the death of Jus tice James Wilson in 1798, and § as illness and accidents befell other members of the court, jp “The extraordinary fatigue I underwent made my head ache a little yesterday, though it did not prevent my attending the |1 court,” he wrote from Phila | delphia in May of 1799, where * he was presiding over the tri ' "‘als of six men for treason. At that time, he faced court dates in Richmond, to be followed by a term of the Supreme Court back in Philadelphia in Au gust. Recognizing, perhaps, his precarious health, he wrote: “If I am alive and well, i I will certainly be there.” His family was extremely worried about him, and en couraged him to rest: “Your life is an object of more impor tant consideration to the pub lic than any temporary omission...to say nothing of what you owe to your friends, ) and more particularly your family - a family which...will be a comfort to you while you live, and do honor to your memory when you are no more,” Samuel Johnston, his beloved friend and brother-in law, reminded him. Iredell was “too much indis posed to attend the Supreme Court,” in Philadelphia in Au gust; he returned to Edenton. “If his vacation restored him to the comforts of home, it brought little relaxation to his active brain,” Griffith J. McRee wrote in his two vol ume compilation of Iredell pa pers. “The pillars of his consti tution, often rudely shaken in his youth, began no\y to totter to their fall. The quick eye of his wife soon detected the faded cheek and wastingform. Judge Iredell’s indisposition, baffling the skill of his physician, be gan now to assume a fatal char acter. The shadows were deep ening around him; the night was at hand.” The funeral service for Jus tice James Iredell was held at St. Paul’s Church, and “the lamentation of a whole com munity constituted a tribute to his merit, honorable in deed.” The Right Reverend Charles Pettigrew, Bishop of the Diocese of North Carolina, “delivered over the body of his departed friend a funeral discourse.. .and Judge Iredell’s body was, finally, deposited at Hayes, in the private burial ground of Governor John ston.” The monument at his grave is inscribed: “In memory of James Iredell, born at Lewes, Sussex County, England, Oc tober 5, 1751, emigrated to North Carolina in 1768, died at Edenton, October 20,1799, hav ing filled, honorably to him self and usefully to his coun try, various important civil offices. He was at the time of his death one of the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court. He was exemplary in the pu rity of his life, and most affec tionate, kind, and benevolent in all his domestic and social relations.” / Call the Herald classifieds: (252) 482-4418 WHITEMAN'S SERVICE CENTER 3141 ROCKY HOCK RD. 221-4547 NOTARY • MEATS • GROCERIES • BEVERAGES ICE • LIVE BAIT • FISHING & HUNTING SUPPLIES STAMPS • KEROSENE • HARDWARE • GREENHOUSE MEAT SPECIALS RUN THURS.

Broad Street • Downtown Edenton ' ' 482-2131 VOTE JIMMY STALLINGS i TOWN COUNCIL Jimmy has lived in Edenton 23 years; has been a mem ber of the Zoning Board since 1989; and has been an Edenton/Chowan Business man for almost 30 years. A VOTE FOR JIMMY IS A VOTE FOR PROGRESS IN EDENTON. I strongly support Progress for the Town of Edenton. Our history is very important and may certainly be an important part of the future of this town. Progress can and will arrive in various forms: when it does, I will do my best to evaluate it fairly and with an open mind; judging the issue on it's own merits and for the good of the citizens of Edenton. For Example: - I fully support the purchase of the Steamers Baseball Team. The profits derived from the Steamers will go to promote Amateur Sports for Edenton. I will do all I can to insure these dollars will go to support all sports, for all people. - We need to make Edenton attractive to business and industry, while protecting our environment through careful planning. -1 have only one Campaign promise: that I will treat each issue and each person that comes before the council with the utmost respect and unbiased attention. PAID FOR BY THE COMMITTEE TO ELECT JIMMY STALLINGS
