FEBRUARY 24, 1966 PRICE 10* PLUS TAX Trial ! & Error This week has been upside down, downside up, turned a round, backed up and I can't think of anymore adjectives to ,, describe It. It has been a con fus Ins mess. We are building I 1' two offices downstairs, we are planning to move my office down there, and are also planning to move the paste-up room from the second floor so it will be next to the photography room. With carpenters, electri cians, men working on the floor, we are crawling over each other --not even mentioning the ham mering. But that Is nothing com pared with the saw?get a line of thought, be concentrating or wording a story, all of a sud den the scream of the saw plows through your brain and leaves It white washed. On top of that the mail ser vice sot us messed up and we it are losing a complete half day on this week's paper. ? ? ? Well, there is always one bright light. The Beulavllle Lions Invited us of the news Media, and gave us a most wonderful supper at the Town House Restaurant and thanked us and praised us for our work. That is a change!! we are so used to taking a cussing, that treatment of mat sort got next to me, but I surely did like It. ? ? ? ? HU a most unusual exper- j ( ience this morning. I went on my first fox taint. That Is the, most hantlng f? the least" exercise that I have ever seen. We got in cars and rode asound and around looking forthedogS. Finally we heardthem barking real close to the road, we Jump ed out of the car and stood waiting for them to cross the road. All of a sudden silence? then the dogs started baying way off in another direction. I haa to come to work then and could not see diem catch a fox. Riding with me In my car was Mr. Dunn smith, a far mer from Alberts on who likes square dancing as well as fox taints. He told me I was like the fellow who came from the city to watch the fox chase. The tauter said to him, "Listen, I ?? isn't that the most beautiful mu sic you ever heard." The man looked at him and said, don't hear any music, f hear is damn dogs bar>ong." ? ? ? ? You should get James Ward of Rose Hill to tell you about his trip to Las Vegas. He sure ly enjoyed it and said he had never seen as many gambling devices in his life. He said machines were in the hotel lobbies, dining rooms and every where you looked. He said he didn't lose or win any money. ? Ruth ')? .

Dup lin County residents have year ned for the Duplin County Re rr of Deeds office to have original books or copies of the books containing deeds recorded In Duplin County dur ing the period 1749 to 1784. Duplin County was cut off from New Hanover County In 1749 and from 1749 until 1784 Duplin County comprised the areas now known as Duplin and Sampson counties. During the period 1749 to 1784 the Duplin County Courthouse was located near Baltic. When Sampson County acquired all of the re cords which have been known to exist for this period. Legend has been that there were three {3) deed volumes for this period but an actual inspection of the records In the Sampson County Registry found eight (8) volumes of deed re cords which were recorded from 1754 to 1784 In Duplin County. It is not known what happened to the records for the period 1749 to 1754. The earliest deed In Book No. 1 of the Duplin County deed re cords on file In Sampson Coun ty Is a deed from Patrick Ca - nady to Henry By rd made In 1753 and recordea In 1754. Through the years much In terest has been manifested in these early records and It has been necessary to refer all In terested persons to the Samp son County Registry for use of these records. These eight (8) books contain a total of 2929 deeds and 3656 pages and to employ someone to copy them by hand would have been'a prohi bitive cost to Duplin County. It was not until 1959 that the present register was assured of a method by which Duplin County could acquire a copy of these records at a small cost. In 1959, when Mrs. Christine W. Wil liams, the present register, was serving on the State Advisory Committee on county records and the committee was working for the passage of the state wide program to permit the State Department of Archives and History to make microfilm for security purposes of all permanent county records; she obtained a commitment from the State Department ot Arcnives that when the Sampson County records were microfilmed un der the state program that Dup lin County would De furnished a a copy of the microfilm of the eight (8) Duplin County deed books which have been in Samp son County since 1784. Last fall the Sampson County records were microfilmed by the State Department of Ar chives and History and a copy of the microfilmed by the State Department of Archives and History and a copy of the mi crofilm of the Duplin Counro deed books was made available to the Duplin County Register. The Recordak Company was employed to prepare full size pages from the microfilm. The pages were sent to a book bin der and the results are eight Si) volumes of photographed eed records which are In bet ter condition than the original volumes on file in Sampson County from which the copies were made. The original books were written with pen and Ink by four registers of deeds who served Duplin County as fol lows: 1753 to 1762 John Dickson 1763 to 1765 James Sampson C?H?f4 to Page ?
