Bible thought for week LIGHT: I am the light . of the world: he that foUowetb me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of Wfc-John 842, (Some up to see! us sometime The Norfolk Virginian Pilot, speak ing editorially, says: "It is easy enough to understand the perplexity with which Edenton is reported to be pondering the North Carolina General Assembly's accep tance of its invitation to hold a one day session in the old capital. The invitation was based on the assump tion, as the statesmen in Raleigh were told, that Edenton was the first capital of North Carolina. But that characterization was a challenge to the pride of various other capitals, of which North Carolina has had more than its share; and by the time these claims had been aired in the General Assembly other capitals had got their names into the discussion and the formal invitation had been amended to "one of the first" capi tals. "Nor was that all. For although the invitation had been extended with the solemnity that is due an ancient Beat whoeer historical past is under stood by all', the Raleigh statesmen had shifted the discussion around to the "sow belly, taters and corn lik ker" that might be expected on such an occasion. Nor is it quite clear to our Edenton correspondent why the invitation should have included re ferences to "the silvery Chowan," which, according to the Edenton ex planation, is "a broad, mud-colored stream to the west which even the shad have avoided in recent years." "The explanation would seem to lie somewhere in that realm of uncer tainty that will never be entirely clear until the race understands bet ter what makes legislators behave like legislators. But the doubts, the uncertainties, and the perplexities will, we trust, be resolved. Whether the allure is sheer history or sheer hospitality, Edenton deserves, a ses sion of the General Assembly. The legislators will never get away' with out being aware of both." The Perquimans Weekly suggests that While the visitors are down in the Albemarle they might find it in teresting to drive on" down into Du rants Neck and visit the settlement in Perquimans County once known as Little River, where the first clearing in the State was made, prior to 1661, the scene of the earliest happenings in Carolina. They might care to visit the site of the home of Caro lina's first governor, William Drum mond. Possibly, also, they might like to take a look at our ancient and beauti ful courthouse, in Hertford, and per haps,to step inside and see with their own eyes the oldest deed of record in North Carolina, with its crudely drawn bow and arrow, the mark of the maker, the Indian Chief. This is, iby the way, the earliest record in America of the purchase of land by a white man from an Indian. Some may care 10 icast their eyes on the clear waters of Perquimans River, than which no more lovely stream will be found in the state. But just in case the Governor of Virginia, ho hasnv Edenton on this '-occasipn i, happV"n to lo cciong the visitors who might I care to look in on Carolina's earliest scenes, it might be well. to. suggest that, jn order that -bygones may con tinue to be bygone3. nobody, in. dis cussing Carolina's early history, bring up the, fact that .Carolina's first gov ernor was hanged by a governor of Virginia, -j; 7. - HIT OR MESS By M.
