PAGE FOUR WILKINS HORTON’S SPEECH A SENSATION IN MANTEO Lieutenant Governor’s Reception Amounts to "TWT •-a . _ in Packed Courthouse Monday Night; Proves Sympathy for Roads, Schools, and Agricultural Problems; Attends Rotarv No candidate seeking the Gover sh;p will receive a heartier wel come, than did Lieutenant Gover nor Wilkins I*. Horton Monday n.ght when a packed courthouse in Manteo, gave him round after round of applause, and proved that in the past ten years since Mr. Horton has been coming to Manteo, he has won faith and friends among the people of Dare County. He was vigorous in his champion ship of the roads vouchsafed us by the law of the land, safe highways for the school children, and free ferries. He opposed diversion of highway funds, praised Governor Hoey, Lindsay Warren and Bruce Etheridge. And he made the big gest hit of any candidate so far. Lieut. Governor Horton, advo cated special provision by the next General Assembly in the interest of the linking of county seats, through the highway system, with particular reference to counties which are sparsely populated and which, he said, therefore do not re ceive adequate funds for this pur pose. “The allocation of the highway funds under the 1921 act,” Mr. Hor ton said, “is based upon area, pop ulation and mileage. It is my be lief that some of the counties in the Albemarle section, as well as in the extreme western section of the state, and prhaps" in other areas, are penalized because the funds go ing to these counties are inade quate to connect county seats with county seats as the 1921 act intend ed to connect them. “I believe that, in view of the inadequacy of funds, due to the sparse population of such counties, that the General Assembly should make special provision for these counties by setting apart an amount sufficient, byway of sup plementation of funds provided in the 1921 act, to connect county seat with county seat, by such roads as the traffic may r require. It is my belief that equity demands action ■of this kind. Such counties would CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Advertising in this column costs one cent a word; mini mum charges 25c.

Haul Green’s “stirring and vivid I production, ’ presented at Manteo jeach summer, as “a tremendously ! helpful factor.” He maintained that “every man, woman, and child in North Carolina should, if at all possible, witness this splendid spectacle.” Protection of wildlife is essential, the speaker held, and he urgd that 'funds from hunting and fishing | licenses be used entirely for th.- protection and propagation of game and fish. Forestry protection is just as important, but this should be financed from the general fund of the State, he said. In an address before the Manteo Rotary Club at the school building earlier in the evening, Lieutenant Governor Horton spoke approving ly of “the great increase in the vol ume of the tourist industry since inauguration of the State advertis ing program of the Department of Conservation and Development.” I TO ATTEND WASHINGTON WATERWAYS MEET FRIDAY (Continued fr»m Page 1; these are the men we want. “For the purpose of forming such an organization as we have in mind and to outline its functions more, .thoroughly, we propose a meeting to be held at Washington, North Carolina, at 1:00 P. M., April 5. North Carolina must not lag or fall behind in securing further im provements which are warranted. At present a number of worthy and essential projects already approved by the engineers and many of them (passed by the House are awaiting j full Congressional approval. Our Congressmen have shown com mendable action in having these projects included in the Rivers and Harbors Bills. However, the im provements cannot be commenced until the work is authorized by law. Such an organization as we propose will be able to furnish valuable first hand information to our represen tatives and thus aid them in effect ing legislation for the good of East ern North Carolina and the State a whole. Local communities show much initial interest in their projects but they usually fail to | understand the procedure or to fol low them up correctly in Congress' to their successful conclusion. It is here the organization will pre sent a united front for all approved projects and continue its efforts un til the desired results are at tained.” Senior Play Presented in Gum Neck Because of the hearty reception of the senior class play, “Aunt Sa manthy Rules the Roost” at the high school auditorium Thursday it. has been decided through the co operation of the Gum Neck high sch >ol to present this play in the Gum Neck high school auditorium, Thursday night, April at 8:00. The plot of this play thickens when Polly, the maid of Aunt Sa manthy, an old maid who hates all men and is wetting her toes in . small town politics, puts some love : powders into the lemonade. The < effects of this are that Aunt Sa-ij manthy changes from a man-hater i to a lover of her fellow man.

BIG HEARTED TYRRELL COL’NTY DOCTOR DEAD (Continued from Page One) and the late Martha B. Combs. Dr. Combs is. survived by his fa ther, S. M. Combs, of Columbia, Mrs. Lorene Jackson Combs of Elizabeth City, one daughter, Ivey Joe' Combs of Philadelphia; two brothers. A. H. Combs of New York and Dr. J. J. Combs of Raleigh. Besides the immediate relatives, the following aun‘s, uncles and cousins attended the funeral: Mrs. Hester Fisher, George Fisher, Mrs. Lily Hiers, Mrs. Laura Combs, J. T. Combs, J. S. Combs and A. B. Combs, Jean Combs, and Misses Patti Combs and Jacklyn Combs of Columbia, Mrs. A. J. Leary from Charleston, S. C., Mrs. William L. Humphrey, Augusta, Ga., Mrs. George Brooks and Mrs. Wahlbeck, of Cape May Courthouse, New Jer sey. A large number of Tyrrell people attended the funeral which was held from the residence at .‘1 o’clock Sunday afternoon, with interment following in Hollywood cemetery. The large number of friends pres ent and the many beautiful floral tributes attested the esteem and reverence in which Dr. Combs was held by all who knew him. The following members of the Elks Club of which Dr. Combs was a member acted a.? pallbearers: N. P. Parker, Russell Box, C. R. Evans, C. 2 Wood, Dr. J. W. Selig. J. B. McMullan, Dennis Davis, and F. T. Horner. , i Honorary pallbearers were Dr. T. S. McMullan, Dr. M. H. Bailey. Dr. I. Fearing, Dr. J. A. Gil’, Dr. Z. D. Owens, Dr. W. A. Peters, Dr. H. D. Walker, Dr. W. H. C. White, Dr. C. B. Williams, Dr. H. E. Butler, Dr. H. E. Nixon, and Dr. William Par ker, IL S. Overman, S. G. Ether idge, F. G. Jacocks, J.T. Stevenson, W. M. Perry and H. B. Sedberry. I A Remarkable Tribute This highly and interesting trib ute, paid by a distinguished fellow physician and surgeon, bears wit ness to the qualities of Dr. Combs. “Were I fit a judge of men who practice the art of medicine,” con tinued Dr. McMullan, “I would say that Dr. Combs was a Good doctor, intending that the word should em brace to its final meaning a skill in the application of the science and, in full measures, those qualities of mind and spirit which, added to capability, raise a physician to the highest level of his calling. “Bright and cheerful in demean or Dr. Combs always left his pa tient comforted and hopeful: and upon those ills born of an aching heart he was wont to spread the balm of a ready sympathy. Be cause of his broad exercise of the humanities, because of his clinging j friendships and because of his everj (readiness to serve it, with or with-j 'out reward, this community can but! |ill spare this member of its medi-i : cal faculty. “During some years through 1 which has passed before my eyes j a continuing ‘Pageant of Poverty’| I have learned how extended has j been this doctor’s hand of helpful-' ness, how little he counted his min istrations to those unable to pay .' for them a cost to himself, how j prodigal he was of his own means in affording aid to the unfortunate.! And, if in his life he committed er ror—and who shall denominate help to the helpless—who is there amongst us to array it against him? Surely no one who knew his kind heart his joyous dispositon, his meticulous care of the stricken; nor, I wot, that Great Tribunal be fore whom some day we all must stand; for the record of a fault, were there ever one, has long been erased by' remembrances of kindly acts, balanced on the pages of ‘the scroll’ by the credits for charities, gladly rendered and constant. “As a practitioner of. medicine, Dr. Combs measured np to the highest in his class; his career was short, comparatively, but it was fruitful and by fruits must its val ue be appraised; his professional life was a success, for, while he may not have achieved great riches his reward is in the inscription he wrote, with a hand of mercy, upon the minds and hearts of the lowly and distressed, a lasting record to be read in “the simple annals of the poor.” C. Ears Colhoon Home C. Earl Cohoon, who has been confined in Memorial hospital at I Norfolk was brought to his home .here Saturday night, where it is ' understood his condition remains !unchanged. ' THE TYRRELL TRIBUNE MRS. SCHLEZ ENTERTAINS One of the most delightful social events of the season was the bridge party given by Mrs. J. F. Schlez Wednesday afternoon, compliment ing Mrs. Leslie Pool of Currituck and Elizabeth City and Miss Decie Dixon of Ldenton. Attired in a lovely hostess gown, Mrs. Schlez met her guests at the door with a miniature hat filled with candy eggs. The guests in greeting their hostess, guessed the number of eggs in the basket, the winner receiving a prize. Cut flowers appropriate of the season were used in the decorative scheme which carried out the Easter motif. Mrs. Jack Hackney of Rocky Mount was presented with the guest prize, a beautiful pottery bowl. Originality was used in the re freshments, and a three course tea, served buffet style, consisting of salads, relishes and canapes, and followed by a sweet course were served the following guests: Mrs. Leslie Poole.

J. White, Mrs. Lonnie Liverman, Miss Hortense Boomer, Mrs. Earl Co hoon, and Mrs. Floyd Cohoon. The hostess was assisted in serv ing by Mrs. Frank Griffin and Mrs Lonnie Liverman. I Miss Emma Felton won the prize for guessing the correct number of eggs in the hat and Mrs. V. H. Dur rance was the winner for making high score at the five tables of bridge. GLEE CLUB WINS As a climax to their week of very hard work, the members of the Co lumbia high school glee club jour neyed to Elizabeth City to take part in the district elimination con test for the North Carolna Music Festival at Greensboro, April 16 through 19. Mrs. Leslie Poole, di rector of the club entered in three departments. A girls’ trio com posed of Nancy Meekins, Sally Bateman and Margaret Bateman sang “The Sundown Sea.” Nancy Meekins was entered as a soprano soloist and sang, “The Lass With the Delicate Air.” The entire glee club composed of alto, soprano, tenor and bass sections entered the contest as a mixed chorus singing “Bless the Lord,” a religious selec tion. The contests are rated by num bers 1,2, 3 and 4 To be able to go to Greensboro an entrant mu3t re ceive a rating of at least 2. A 1 (means perfect. No glee club or [contestants received the rating of I I at the district contests. j The 39 members of the Columbia 'glee club filed softly into the Cen |tral high school auditorium '’nd took their places, to patiently await their call. First came the soprano solos and Nancy rendered hers in her best style. Next came the trio, and this unit did itself honor, and as its mem bers were beginning to think thev were forgotten, the glee club took its place and sang in away that showed much practice and hard work. This over, there was nothing to do but return home, hoping we would win. Some stayed ’til after noon to find out our rating and as these came back word began to get around, as gossip will, Columbia glee club won the coveted rating of 2! The solo received a 2, the trio outclassed its oponents and the glee club won its right to participate at Greensboro. The glee club has only one slogan now—Oh to Greensboro!
