-Oo You Know
;)8re Doctor
Harris Is Buried?
VHe lived In Hertford
Before 1849; Grave is
i Somewhere In Cedar-
wood Cemetery
Do you know where. Doctor Barns
is buried?
He. lived in Hertford before 1849.
He lived in the house on Dobb Street
' where County Accountant W. F. C.
Edwards now lives.
Doctor Harris (initials uAknavm)
was the man who first taught den
tal iarw in Nnrt.h Carolina, and the
North Carolina Historical Association
wanted to mark his grave, about a
. year' ago.
But they couldn't find it
, u Records in the Masonic Lodge
ehnw a record oi ms uunai, nu wic
deed of the Edwards place describes
it as the place where Dr. Hams
YmeA fnr a number of vears. It is
further known that Dr. Harris was
buried in Cedarwood. Cemetery.
But at this point everything comes
to a blank wall; the grave was un
marked. There are no empty plots
in Cedarwood Cemetery, so evidently
the remains of other persons are in
the same plot with those of Dr. Har
ris, but nobody knows which plot.

Said McNider, in summing up the
rase. "Roth Bovce and Moore have an
o.niial interest in this case. If Boyce
is convicted, a sentence hangs over
him, and Moore is probably to be
commended for setting a preceaeni.
If Boyce isn't convicted, Moore pro
bably has a discharge waiting for
him for over-stepping his authority."
It never came out in the trial why
Moore is an ex-examiner instead of a
present examiner.
When Attornev Edwards, in his
summary, wondered aloud why Moore
is an ex-examiner, Moore muttered
from his place in the jury-box "That's
my business."
An array of witnesses bore testi
to Howe's sobriety on the
night in question. They came from
Hertford, near Hertford, from Eden
ton and from near Edenton.

said to Mr. Warren, "The national
peanut acreage allotted under the
1940" agricultural conservation pro
gram has been reviewed carefully
and revised upward slightly to cor
rect inequities between states re
sulting from incomplete data foi
non-commercial counties.
"As a result of this revision, the
total allotment for North Carolina is
now 22,500 acres. Of this acreage
8.000 acres are set aside for growers
in counties which are not in 1940 de
signated as commercial peanut coun
ties. This reserve would provide an
allotment for growers in these coun
ties which is comparable to the allot
ments for similar growers in com
mercial counties. The remaining
214.500 acres is available for allot.
ment to growers in the commercial!
counties. All of this acreage nas
been previously alloted to the grow
ers with the exception of about 1,400
acres, which will be used for correc
tion of errors and. for farms which
were omitted from the original tabu
lations. "The entire amount of the increase
is necessary for non-commercial
counties, for farms omitted from the
original tabulations and for the cor
rection of errors, therefore it will
not be possible to increase the allot
ment to other growers."
