And why did the court older him forever banished from Al bemarle T That he was maae to stand in the pilory, public place of shameful punishment that it was, for three hours, seems a minor de tail in the light of the fact that he . mm 1 if 1 was oraerea Kept in irons unui n could be transported. It all happened back in the early days of Carolina, in the year 1680, when the scattered people in the co lonies were governed by the King ot England. It was only seventeen years after the region then known as Carolina had been granted to the Lords Proprietors, and some fifteen years after the small insolated area in the northeastern corner of the state was first called Albemarle County. An old court record from the Cho wan Precinct Court, dated 1680, reads, "ordered that Samuel Prick- love stand in the pilory three hours, and lose his right ear, and be banish ed this county for ever, and to live in prison without bayle in yrons, or otherwise, until he shall be shipped for his transport, and their aboard kept in yrons till at his place he be landed, with costs and f ees . And there the story ends, or does it? There is little to indicate what Samuel Pricklove's crime might have been on the surface, nothing in the court record. Neither does any his tory give an account of anything in the nature of a felony on the part of Samuel Pricklove. His name ap pears again and again in old records however. In the first placet ft is recited in the oldest deed of record in the state, the deed from the Indian Chief Kil coeanen to George Durant, dated in 1661, that the lands conveyed, locat ed in Perquimans River, adjoined lands which the Indians had pre viously sold to Samuel Pricklove. A great .many things' had tran spired n. the twenty years between the time when. Samuel Pricklove ar rived in Carolina, with the earliest of the settlers, and bought his plan tation from the . Indian King of the Yeopims and the . . date of the .old court record, more than twenty years afterwards. ' The land in Albemarle was' fertile then, as now, and yielded quantities of tobacco, which was shipped to England for the .most part, though there was considerable trading with the New England colonists. Tobac co was the one money crop. To bacco was, in fact, to all intents and purposes, money. It was used , in barter in place of money.- So many pounds of tobacco was the conside ration named in many of the old land transfers of that day. , Of course, the tobacco crop was impor tant.

In July of the year 1677 Thomas Miller returned to Albemarle from England, having been appointed col lector of the customs under the new governor Thomas Eastchurch, who appears to have made a very leisure ly sojourn at interesting points en route to take over his new duties as governor. Miller was pretty high handed in his methods of collecting the customs and assumed a great deal of authority. This resulted in the Culpepper Rebellion, that minia ture war which flared up in 1677, and which the English courts later ruled was a riot and not a rebellion at all, John Culpepper, the leader, being cleared in London of the charge of high treason. This outbreak in the Albemarle in 1677 was very similar to that oh the continent a century later, which in the course of its progress developed into a victorious struggle for inde pendence. There was a period of some years following this Culpepper Rebellion when the colonists lived under their own government and ran things very much to the satisfaction of every one. They had a free partiament Thomas Cullen was speaker, and among the members were John Jen' kins, Alexander Lillington, Thomas Jarvis, Valentine Byrd, - Patrick White, Henry Bonner, Richard San' ders and others. It has been said of these men who assumed the reins of government and carried on the affairs of Albemarle at this time that, as neither the king's authority nor that of the pro prietors was denied, the revolution ists did not regard themselves as being in rebellion, but that; while the revolutionists' established courts and maintained order and otherwise look' ed after the functions of government, the, customs, were not Collected with exactness nor with vigilance. And there , was the rub. ' VJ There is a reference in ' Colonial Records to -Samuel Pricklove which seems to shed some light'; Timothy Biggs; a deputy under Thomas Mill er. wno was strenuously zealous in collecting tne duties on tobacco, in wanting from '.'My Office? on Little River Point",, under date of 1679, re lers to Samuel Pricklove as "my de puty" and sets forth thatrrmji de puty oeing on ye execution ol ye aioresaid warrant was pursued and seized by ye grand marshal of ye county by order of ye aforesaid Ro bert Holden". Pricklove appears to have been on the wrong side,-and it must ;have been in connection! with his activies in the rebellion that led to, the trial and sentence In 1680. It is possible there were two men of the name of. Samuel ' Pricklove, though as to this there is no way of knowing. But Samuel Pricklove was not banished forever from Albemarle, On Our Mechanics' I n n q in i nJ unless there were two of the same name, for in the year 1688 he gave a deed for 600acreas of land in Per quimans to one Thomas Jacock. Also for some years following' this the name Samuel Prkklove is signed in the old Perquimans; records as "Re gister of Writing". 'J' V'"s, ' ' Credits Section ' In v VPiohfjerWork!

SHARPE A great deal of our thinking con' cerning tne church is that it is a group of men and women bound to gether in certain human relationships, and differing from other orgariiza uons in tnat tne members have a consciousness of a common relation ship to' God, but still a company ot men and women with needs like other men, who turn for sympathy and re- enforcement to their fellow men. The church of Christ has always been this, and more. ' It is more than fellowship of man with man: it is fellowship of man with God. Through the church God carries on the work which was. started by Christ. What His body and presence were to the people with whom He walked in Gall lee His disciples are to be to men and women down through the years. We are to be lips . to speak His message; feet to carry His gospel; eyes to . see His opportunities; hands to do His work; shoulders to bear His cross, and hearts to thrill with His love. What each Christian is expected to do and be in hia Indivi dual life, the church is expected to o and be as an organization of in dividuals. Paul tells us that the church is the body of Christ, and that we as members are a part of the body. What each one is as a Christian is to be a contribution to the body of Christ 3 which is the. unoice Bound Sfleali - PER POUND Extra Good c i "r; , PER POUND No. 2 Can Crushed Corn, 3 for.l:..:.LLl 5c Size KIVDSl .' .-i S PEGS.
