HAYMAN CLAN HAS HAPPY
MEETING; CHOOSES AGAIN
MANNS HABOR FOR 1961
While the gathering Wednesday
of tfie Hayman Clan at Manns
HaAor, was smaller than usual,
probably due to intense heat, and
the busy time of summer, it lacked
nothing in the spirit and enthusi
asm of those who gathered in the
community building to exchange
remininiscensces of their early
days and their Hayman ancestry.
There were visitors from distant
places, Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Good
win having come from Silver City,
and Rev. L. D. Hayman and his
wife from Southport,his son Louis
from Jacksonville, and Mrs. Carrie
Hayman Penn, a sister from Clay
ton.
There was plenty of food. Rev.
L. D. Hayman was re-elected presi
' dent, the meeting date next year
set at Thursday July 20th, —again
at Manns Harbor. Mrs. Shirley
Spencer is again Vice-President,
and Mrs. Jennie Tillett replaces
Mrs. Pearl Daniels as Treasurer.
Ira Spencer, Jr., is Secretary, and
the Board of Managers as reported
last week, were re-elected. James
W. Davis of Wanchese gave the
address of welcome. Rev. Mr. Hay
man, who arrived in Dare County
Monday has been visiting relatives
at Kitty Hawk and elsewhere in
Dare County. His visited a former
home at Paul Gamiels Hill Life
Saving Station where his father
was stationed, and got a hand
ful of pebbles from the old site.
It was 50 years ago this month
that Mr. Hayman, while early in
» his ministerial career, organized
the Lakewood Park Methodist
Church in Durham, with 19 mem
bers meeting in a schoolhouse. In
three years, this fast growing con
gregation had erected a SIO,OOO
church building which would cost
more than $30,000 today. Some
three years ago, Mr. Hayman or
ganized a Methodist Church at
Yaupon Village, also with 19
members, meeting in a skating
rink. In two and a half years, the
congregation had erected a $48,000
church. Mr. Hayman has been pas
tor of some four of the largest
churches in the conference ranging
from 800 to 1,200 members each
at the time. These included Bur
lington, Sanford, Edenton Sreet
Methodist in Raleigh and First
Church Washington. At the age of
75 he is going strong and work
ign hard.

J9L Mr V
WILLIAM BEN GOODWIN of
Elizabeth City is doubly appreci
ated in the Walter Raleigh Coast
land, because his boyhood was
spent in Manteo, and his affection
for his boyhood home has ever
made him a compassionate friend
of the people. As the chief exe
cutive officer of the Albemarle
Building and Loan Association in
Elizabeth City, he has aided many
people in Dare County to finance
homes and other properties, there
by contributing greatly to the
progress and happiness of the area.
Above all he is admired because
at the age of 88 he still goes strong
and continues on his job as Secre
tary-Treasurer at the Building
Association which he has held since
he organized it 46 years ago. He
works six days a week, and has
no retirement plans, and this is
most amazing indeed in an age
when the multitudinous majority
want to retire in youth, and many
of tlie remainder have their hands
out seeking support from the few
left who are working.
Although born in Chowan Coun
ty, his father the late J. E. Good
win moved to Manteo and ran a
store several years. The orginal
Goodwin home is on County St.,
Manteo, adjoining the Leigh Has
sell home. In 1889 the Goodwin
family went to Elizabeth City. Ben
Goodwin went to work for Kramer
Bros. Co., and when he was mar
ried to Miss Rose Parsons, he was
making $2.50 a day.
Mr. Goodwin achieved consider
able fame by his many years of
senace for the improved order of
Red Men; for 50 years was at top
in state councils, and seived dur
ing a continuous period of many
years as Grand Chief of Records.
This work gave him many trips
across the country and into all
states in the east. Under his leader
ship, the tribe at . Elizabeth City
became one of the largest in wealth
and membership in the south.
In his early days, he played in
the local band, he served on the
school Board, was a volunteer fire
man, and in the early 1920’s was
Mayor of Elizabeth City. He was

HIKE IN PHONE RATES IN
STORE FOR COLUMBIA
COLUMBIA. The Carolina
Telephone Company proposes an in
crease in telephone rates in Colum
bia and other towns served by the
company on the basis of increased
value of the service. Rates, It is
stated, are now based on the num
ber of subscribers within the local
calling area, and since there has
been a large increase in the num
ber of subscribers in the Columbia
area since August 1957, when pres
ent rates were established, the
company expects to raise rates
accordingly.
In August 1957 there were 383
local phones in Columbia and in
May of this year there were 630.
It ir also propsed to raise the basic
local rate in some exchanges.
There is an increase proposed to
business phones of some 25 cents
a month.
Some concern is felt in Colum
bia that the raise should not be
made and a protest to the utilities
commission is being considered.

Some Sidelights On Great Heritage Os
History In The Albemarle Region
There is Current Revival in Romatic Past of the State Which
Has Persisted Through 300 Years With Rich Memories
and Traditions Inspiring A Great Celebration in 1963.
The recent report in the News
and Observer of the 251st Birth
day Celebration at Beaufort is but
another instance of the current re
vival of interest in the romantic
past of this State. For ninety-five
years our people have been recover
ing from the misery of a defeated
people, whose land was occupied by
a hostile conqueror, and for a num
ber of years thereafter was ex
ploited as a conquered territory. We
had to find bread, meat and shel
ter for the children in a struggle
for survival and hadjto concentrate
upon the present, and a better fu
ture, and that left little time to
preserve, or take any interest in,
the early history of our State.
While New England was glorying
in the Plymouth Colony, our fore
bears were grubbing for the ne
cesssities of life. At long last, we
are, to some extent, released from
that pressure, and have leisure and
money enough to recover, belatedly,
something of our tremendously in
teresting background, before it is
forever lost.
The Beaufort Celebration is en
couraging to us. It is a part of the
same stream of action as the Act
of the 1959 General Assembly cre
ating the Carolina Charter Tercen
tenary Commission, charged with
the duty of arranging an appropri
ate observance in 1963 of the
granting in 1663 by King Charles
Il of the famous Charter to the
eight Lords Proprietors of Caro
lina.
Perquimans, and the part of Pas
quotank adjacent, was the area
where government under the Char
ter began. Little River was the
dividing line between the two an
cient “precincts”. At Nixon ton, on
the Pasquotank side of Little
River, the first Assembly was held
in 1665. The “Court” met at the
“House of Captain John Heckle
field in Little River” on the Per
quimans side many times, as did
the “Council” of the Province. The
last meeting of the Council was
held at this house on July 4, 1712.
After that, the seat of the Per
quimans Precinct Court was at
“Phelps Point,” later incorporated
(1758) as the Town of Hertford.
In 1722 the Assembly passed an
Act to erect a court house at
Phelps Point. In that same year, it
is said, the seat of the Provincial
government was established at
Edenton, then Chowan “Precinct.”
The older counties in. the East
have a common responsibility to
keep the entire citizenry conscious
of the Carolina heritage.
Sir John Harvey, an early Vir
ginia governor, had a son, “Mr.
John Harvey,” who was granted
600 acres in “Curatuck” by Sir
Williams Berkeley in September,
1663. In 1667 from London came

John Harvey’s son Thomas was

died, Thomas Harvey in 1682 mar

months time) married Sarah Lak

had a grant of land at or near the
present site of the Town of Hert

“Laker’s Creek,” which runs into
Castleton Creek, and thence into

Thomas Harvey received a grant
of 6,310 acres of land on the south
west side of Perquimans River (in

DARE COUNTY LIBRARY
Increased Circulation of Books Shown
at 50% in Two Years; Bor
rower! 1,369 in a Year
An impressive annual report has
been issued by the Dare County
Library, headed by Mrs. Jean T.
Ward, Librarian. During the fiscal
years, circulation of books has in
creased to 36,858 as compared
with 33,578 last year, and 24,725
the year before that. Circulation
was 20,137 the year before—l9s6-
57.
Stock of books this year is shown
at 18,589. Total of borrowers in
cluding 481 children was 1,369.
Bookmobile trips are made every
four weeks throughout the county.
Increased use of 'books has come
from depositing books in school
libraries.
On Mrs. Ward’s staff are Mrs.
Evelyn M. Gibbs, assistant; Miss
Jeannetta Overcash, bookmobilist,
and Mrs. Kay B. Roush, typist.
Hours are Monday through Fri
day 9 to 5 in summer and Sat

The library has joined the State
Processing Center, which buys
books at a bigger discount than the
local library could obtain. It also
cards and processes the books for
a fee of 75 cents per book.
A “Friends of the Library”
group was organized this spring
to help meet the needs and promote
the services of the library. They
recognized that the most pressing
need is more room for library
activities.
A valuable service offered every
summer is the pre-school* story
hour to prepare children for their
first year in school. A weekly story
hour is held year round for older
boys and girls.
Displays and exhibits are anoth
