PLAIN Talk

I AM UNSAvED


The tall. thin man was a strang-
er who said that for years he had
admired me from afar until this
moment when he had come to
call on me. He had been reading
my column in the daily press 20
years and from that he had con-
cluded was worth his attention.
His name was Atkinson.
There's only one thing the
matter with you," he said.
Oh. Mr.. Atkinson. only one
thing? Without any preparation
for giving such an accounting I
can recite offhand many things
that are the matter with me. He
had called to tell me about it
with the best Of good will and
to do something to improve me i.
Il might say I am your best
friend. though we became ac-
quainted only a few minutes ago"
:. He was worried about my
soul.
"You are doomed if you con-
tinue in your present state" Mr..
Atkinson was speaking like
father to a son who isn't going
tight. Mr.. Atkinson said he felt
sure that heaven could be even
more enjoyable if a fellow like
me would get there with him :.
But l feel bound to tell you you
are not going there"
Me? I confessed hadn't
thought much of going to heaven.
My idea has been that if / tried
to be a fairly decent citizen. /
needn't worry much about my
future.
But you are a Jew, Mr.. Segal"
MIR. Atkinson was saying
this in the friendliest way :.
AS Jew you are an unbeiever
and unredeemed. You can not
share in salvation. There is no
salvation except in being a Chris
tan"
Mr.. Atkinson was saying that
not only he but other officers as
well as ordinary members Of his
church had been worrying
about me IF you hadn't
SHOWN yourself to be a decent
man in your column they would
nt bother about you" They
nao decided to try to save me
because they regarded them
serves as friends of mine. They
mad sent Mr.. Atkinson to make
0Vertures toward a salvation that
would make my future secure.

Vlnng you to be Christian.

country in the world. If you eat
q peanut in Maine or California
or Mississippi or anywhere else,
the chances are . good deal bet
ter than even that it came from
this region. As we drove south
ward We saw fields, one after
another, where the peanuts had
been harvested and put into
stacks that look like miniature
haystacks. There are machines
for the separation of the nuts
from the vines and dirt, and
now and then we saw one of
these in operation. The u. S. De
partment of Agriculture pub

peanut production, and the
processing" of peanuts (roast-
ing them, sailing and sweeten-
ing them, making peanut but
ter out of them, putting them
into chocolate bars, and SO on)
has become a major industry.
At the Joseph Hewes hotel in
Edenton we were cordially
greeted by the manager, Mr..
Saunders. Just after we regis
tered We turned from the desk
to find ourselves facing my old
friend, Jack Mcmillan, whom /
had seen only once or twice, and
then only for brief glimpses,
since we entered the University
together 49 years ago, in the
fall Of 1899. In our piedmont
part Of the state Jack might be
described for the purpose Of
identification, as the brother Of
Harry Mcmillan. Down in Eden
ton and the surrounding coun-
try it would be apt to be the
other way about-the attorney
general would be identified as
the brother Of Jack MCMILLAN.
He was mayor of Edenton for
several terms. For a while he
practiced law. Now he is en-
gagged in two or three businesses.
They are doing well by him if ]
may judge by his cheerful de-
meanor and appearance Of all
around content. / am glad that
in the few minutes after our ar
rival he added another business
to his list: telling our friends
that we were in town. No sooner
had he left the hotel than they
began telephoning. This warmed
our hearts.
In the dining room we came
upon Rev. and Mrs. Fred Drane
and their daughter, Miss Rebec-
ca Drane, Of Monroe, who had
come for a visit to the old home
town. Miss Drane was born in
Fairbanks, Alaska, when her
father was a missionary there.
/ had been thinking that Eden
ton was cold, but it didn't seem
quite so cold when the Dranes
told US of the 65-below-zero
weather that they used to have
in Alaska. Miss Drane is work
ing at the Camp Sutton hospital
for polio patients, near Monroe.
She told us that after the chill
dren had heard her read stories
about great explorers they
amended the name of the one
who went to China in the 14th
century. They called him Marco
Polio.
Junius w. Davis, the drug
gist, whose son used to be a
lodger in our home and is now
a resident physician in a hospi-
tai in Philadelphia, saw US
through the hotel window as he
was on the way home from his
drugstore, and came in for q

Mary Anderson) at her home at
the lower end of the Green, on
the edge Of the Bay. She lived
in Chapel Hill sixty years ago,
and we talked about old days In
the village. She showed me
pieces Of furniture that ! had
seen in her home when, as boy
in the early 1905, ] visited the
Andersons in the house (that is
still standing1 on Franklin
street opposite the school. And
she showed me photograph of
her grandmother. Mrs. Abram
Rencher, whom / used to know
as Aunt Louisa and who, / re-
member, told me one day of hav-
ing read in newspaper the first
news of the Battle of Water
loo that reached the United
States. She was nine years old
when the battle was fought in
1915 and was about ninety when
she recalled it to me. | could
hardly have been more i'm
pressed if somebody had told me
of remembering the conquests
of Alexander the Great or the
assassinationSof Julius Caesar.
At Miss Margaret Pruden's
We were willingly persuaded to
stay for luncheon. One of the
things we talked about was how
Chapel Hill used to be summer
resort for people down in the
eastern part of the State. They
would come here for the (rela-
tive) coolness and also in order
TO escape malaria. / suppose
modern public health measures
have slain the notwithstanding
mosquitoes, or disarmed them,
or Imprisoned them, or some
thing, for / don't hear anything
about malaria in the east in
these days. Instead Of coming
to Chapel Hill to cool off and get
rid of malaria. the fasteners
now come to see football games.
Miss Margaret's nephew, Jack
Pruden, the young architect who
is with Watts Carr over in Dur
ham, came in while we were at
the table. Jack belongs to the
modern school of architecture,
and told him was glad he had
not built up an influence in time
to determine the character of
our new medical school build
ings. No doubt he and the other
modernists will be having their
way with University building
development in years TO come j;
but | won't be here then. so
there's no need for me to worry
about that.
We dropped in on Miss Sophie
Wood, and she joined us for a
visit to her brother John at the
celebrated Hayes estate. AS with
Jack Mcmillan, have seen little
Of him since we were students
together at the turn of the CEN
tury, and | was disappointed to
miss him on this occasion. Just
before our arrival he had gone
out to direct some of his farm
ing operations. We were gra-
ciously received by his wife. Our
next and last call in Edenton
was on Mrs. William A. Graham.
The last time | had seen her was
here in the Carolina Inn a few
weeks ago. She favors Chapel
Hill with visits more than do
other Edentonians of my ac-
quaintance. Maybe the fact that
her sons live in Durham, and
that she has close relatives in
Hiilsboro, has something to do
with that.
