Man Dies
In
Head-On
Collision
During
Fog
James David Russell. 22,
of Seymour Johnson AFB in
Goldsboro, died in a head-on
collision at 6:30 a.m. Monday
on Highway 11 north of
Beulaville.
Investigating Highway
Patrolman Woody Sandy said
Russell was driving south on
the foggy highway headed
toward Came Leieune. Rus
sell's vehicle collided with
one driven by Herman Craft,
22, of Beulaville, who
crossed the center line,
Sandy said. ,
Craft was uninjured, and
Russell's 20-year-old wife
Nancy, was injured and
taken Duplin General
Hospi'di in iCenansvlil*.
Sandy said he planned to
file crimksl charges against
Craft after an investigation.
Sandy said he investigated
three other accidents on state
roads in the county during
the morning fog, but there
were no other deaths.

note when walked upon but make a barking noise when

Duplin women are becom
ing more active in political
affairs of the county, and
today there are five women
holding locally elected offices
in our county.
After the Civil War when
black men won their inde
pendence, America had still
another group of citizens
without rights ? women.
While the fight for women's
rights was not as violent as
the Civil War, the cause was
just as great. However, the
Civil War and women's suf
ferage cannot really be
compared, because once
America's women were
granted a vote, they had little
trouble exercising their
right. Once blacks were
granted a vote, many laws
and restrictions were passed
to prohibit the black man
from exercising his rights.
Now, almost a hundred
years later, America has
many laws which protect the
civil rights of each citizen.
And, more people from the
different minorities are be
coming involved in the
government of the United
States. In Duplin County,
women are becoming in
volved in the government of
their towns, 55-60 years after
women's sufferage. But, the
lack of effort has not been the
delay. The first woman to run
for public office in Duplin.
County was Mrs. Marshall
Williams of Faison in 1936.
Mrs. Williams was running
for the office of Represen
tative to the North Carolina
House.
Mrs. Williams was known
throughout Duplin, and the
state for her artistic works
and her work with the Demo
cratic party. She had served
16 years as the only woman
member of the board of
directors of the state hospital
in Raleigh, six years as a
member of the state exe
cutive committee of the
Democratic Party, and
served as vice-chairman of
the Third Congressional Dis
trict Democratic Party. Re
gardless of Mrs. William's
interest and knowledge of
the political affairs in Duplin
and the state, she was not
elected. She ran on a ballot
with two opponents, both
men, and each received more
votes than did Mrs.
Williams.
Today, in Duplin County,
44 years later, we have five
women involved in local gov
ernments ? three of the five
make up a majority on the
Faison board of town com
missioners. The remaining
two women hold offices in
Kenansville and Teachey.
Helen Britt, Rachel Clifton
and Billle Hollingsworth are
three of the five Faison
commissioners, Betty Long is
a Kenansville commissioner,
and Ruby Ramsey is the
Teachey mayor.
It was only within the past
decade that citizens in
Duplin County elected its
first women to local offices.
And, the first lady to be
elected was Helen Britt to
serve as a town commis
sioner. It was during the last
election of local government
officials that Hollingsworth
and Gifton were elected to
the Faison board, with both
replacing male members.
Betty Long is presently serv
ing a second term on the
Kenansville board of com
missioners. Ruby Ramsey
was Duplin's first woman
mayor and she is currently
serving a second term in
Teachey. Another lady was
elected as mayor of Magnolia
during the last election, but
declined the office ? Mar
jorie Pickett. Pickett has
served many years as the
town clerk, and recently re
tired from that position.
As Duplia County grows,
more women will be running
for local government o
and the county is seeing a
trend toward women on the
board of education. The first
woman to serve on the
Duplin Board of Education
was elected in 1978 ? Pat
Broadrick of Warsaw. And,
as the county grows more,
citizens, not just women, can
be expected to run for the
local government offices.
The black population of the
county will be joining the
ranks of Duplia county com
missioners, board of educa
tion members, town mayors
and town commissioners.
