ANNE BoNNEY, PIRATE
WOMAN OF CAROLINA
BY Theresa Thomas
In The Greensboro Daily News


In The Greensboro Daily News
We can harly call the pirate,
Anne Bonney, a lady, but she was
surrounded by legends and her ad-
ventures have a place in the early
lore of our state. She frequented
our coast with her consort, Captain
Jack Rackam, and helped scuttle
many a ship and kill many a man
in our waters.
Anne was born in County Cork
in Ireland. Her father was an at
torney and her mother was his
wife's maid. The scandal springlng
from Anne's birth and other things
gradually lost him his practice and
Ne was forced to turn elsewhere
for living. In those days the col
ony offered position and affluence
to adventures who could never
hope for similar advantages at
home and it was to the Colony of
Carolina he turned his eyes Al
though practically pennilessy he
sailed to the new world and with
him came his small daughter,
Anne.
By what means he achieved has
prosperity is not known, but IN a
short time he was the possessoT of
rich and thriving plantation. 1t
seems logical to suppose that some
of the characteristics that later
made his daughter pirate helped
him to secure wealth.
AS Anne grew up she began to
keep house for her father and was
said to be a good and dutiful
daughter" Of course, the same
source that calls her good and
dutiful daughter" also goes on to
mention that she grew up into a
"strapping, boisterous girl of a
fierce and courageous temper"
This temper led her even in her
tender years into many and varied
scrapes not the least of which was
the killing of her English serving
maid with case knife.
1t isn't hard to imagine that the
life of a lady on a colonial planta-
ton would grow dull for one Of
Anne's temperament and proclivities
and she soon began to look about
her at the young men. Authorities
agree she was handsome and that
those young men found her at
tractive. Her father also began to
look about for suitable husband

A Gamble With TRAGEDY

Demonstrations by the delegates and crowds
packed into political convention hall for nomi-
nation Of candidates are an accepted part Of
the political scene
Under proper conditions they are harmless
type Of lunacy, and represent welcome break
IN the boring monotony Of political oratory.
But the auditorium in Chicago that houses
the Republican National Convention-and which
will soon be the meeting place of the Democratic
convention-does not provide the proper condi-
tionS. The demonstrations last night violated
fundamental safety regulations. The auditorium
is too small for the crowd it must accommodate
The aisles are very narrow, the hall contains
many temporary wooden structures. In last
nights demonstrations, especially the one which
followed Governor McKeldin's speech for Eisen-
hover, the paraders were so jan,med together
that they were unable to move forward, back
ward or in any other direction for minutes at
time. The floor was Uttered with trash. A
carelessly dropped match could have started
fire and precipitated horrible panic.
No meeting of any kind, except political
convention, could get away with the violation
Of ordinary fire and exit regulations that has
been so conspicuous during the Chicago con-
vention. The Republicans have been lucky enough
to avoid tragedy. The Democrats may be as for
tunate. But disaster far worse than the Coconut
Grove fire has been avoided by luck alone.

Predictions That Failed

It is worth noting that although Virginia
opened its welfare rolls to limited public inspec-
ton last week, none of the terrible things which
opponents of the move predicted has occurred
so far. There has been no rush Of nosey citizens
bent satisfying idle curiosity about their neigh
bors. There has been no evidence Of a desire on
the part Of the press to I'LL their columns with
lists Of unfortunate citizens. There are no indi-
cations that any worthy person on relief has been
embarrassed by the new policy. II there has been
any embarrassment, it probably has been among
the relatively few chiselers who in the past have
taken advantage Of the secrecy surrounding re-
lief records
It is evident that some Qualification of one
section Of the new law Is needed. There have been
conflicting views among welfare authorities In
nearby Virginia as to the scope Of provision
which restricts inspection to residents Of the
State. The restriction has been applied to re-
porters In some areas. It is highly improbable,
however, that the General Assembly intended to
prevent any qualified newspaper representative
from inspecting the rolls In search of irreguari-
ties. II the law is so interpreted at Richmond,
it should be changed at the next session Of the
Legislature. The only proper limitations on the
right Of inspection are those designed to prevent
exploitation Of the names for commercial or
political purposes.

same union that is charging conspiracy against
six steel companies for their refusal to surrender
Ito allow their unloading.
Industry leaders have decided to appeal to
the union to relax its ban against unloading the
ships. Certainly new shutdown next winter
is a prospect which should be as alarming to
labor as to management. It is to be hoped that
for obvious selfish reasons in support of keeping
the plants running once they resume, as well
as for the national interest, the union will agree
to some resolution Of the shipping and mining

This and That
BY Charles E.. TroceweN

In the old happy days little children
faced nothing more than big dog that
always barked at them when they went
past certain place.
Or they stepped on piece Of glass
when they went bare footed on the first
day Of summer, or ran right smack into
the wrong end of humble bee.
Mr.. and Mrs. North's children are
going to do things better.
At least. II their parents have any
thing to do with it. and they have.
Especially Mr.. North.
Maybe he had been reading about
Fagin, the famous Dickens character
who trained the juvenile pickpockets.
Anyway, he seemed to have decided
that in this day of wars and alarms
and cries of peace, peace. when there is
no peace. he simply had to so do some
thing about it.
His precious ones were not going TO be
allowed to grow up to think this world
Of daffydills and roses. and little bees
coming their natural history lessons
with the aid Of pollen.
So Mr.. North. who Is man of some
determination himself. took his little
children by the hand, and turned them
loose.

Public and PorochioI Schools

The education of young Americans
into good American citizens Is essen
tial for maintaining the freedoms and
democracy we enjoy in this country
today. This educational work has been
carried on by public and private schools
in the United States since the found
ing Of our republic. Contrary to the
impression given in the report in The
Star Of q recent speech by Mrs. Agnes
E. Meyer of the Presidents Commits
sion on Higher Education before the
National Education Association, pub
lie. private and parochial schools are
not rivals working against each other.
Rather these institutions supplement
one another to produce well-rounded
citizenry. instead of stereotyped Amer
ican brought forth from a single mold.
Many of the statements attributed to
Mrs. Meyer appear to be in error, but
due to the limited space Of this forum
only a few points Of her fallacious
argument can be answered. Clerical
politicians are not trying to take adj
vantage Of the times to control educa-
ton as maintained by Mrs. Meyer. Edu-
cation of the young has been duty
assumed by the Catholic Church, many
Protestant denominations and Jewish
communities long before there were
public schools. Since the war these
private organizations have put their
shoulders to the wheel to assist in the
critical problem Of providing education
for the tremendous increase Of children

Like swarm Of locusts of Brood 10,
they ran along the sidewalk, happily
shouting in unison.
Their merry voices drowned out the
rumble of the concrete mixer down at

They ran into Mrs. Gray's yard, and

unified glee.
They sped craftily, with the best in
filtration ever seen on the block. into
the driveway Of Old Man Jones, and
yanked out his hose, which he had left
coiled In neat and unpremeditated coil.
The little Norths leave nothing to the
unpremeditated. They are modern, and
go in for premeditation on large scale.
They gave tug at the hose, and ran

the hose slithering like black snake.

RELIEF for Pensioners

With respect to the boost in Federal
pensions voted by Congress, The Star
is to be congratulated for its part,
through editorials and otherwise, in aid
ing In getting the bill made into law.
However, there is q misstatement Of
fact In Joseph Young's column that
the law now provides '.some cost-of-
living relief to Federal annuitants whose
annuities have not kept pace with rising
prices" This is erroneous.
Those whose pensions exceed $2.160
get no cost-of- living increase. Their
annuities "have not kept pace with
rising prices" Excluding such annu-
itants from getting cost-of- living
increase is discriminatory, but was to
be expected from the 82d Congress.

Efforts to PURGE Byrd

Following a Virginia Governors con-
ference, Gov. Dewey Of New York gave
an interview stating Virginia was the

President Truman followed this by stat

roll, has challenged Senator Byrd's seat

Knebel UnneiehborIy

Would Fletcher Knebel be gentleman
enough to please explain just what he
means by imputing the actions of stock
Swindlers" in Canada to the Canadian
people generally? ! resent this slur on
the excellent relations between the citi-
zenS of our two nations. IF the swindled
persons had scintilla of knowledge Of
Canadian affairs they would know bet
ter than to be such easy and fair game
to financial sharpies. To quote the Of
fenSive passage: "The United States
moves to halt a $50 million stock -swindle
run from Canada. Very impolite these
Canadians refusing to wait until
our Government gives them the money"
Has he considered the probability Of
the Swindle being run by Americans
operating in Canada against whom the
United States Government is attempt
ing to obtain extradition? Further-if
ne means that Canadians are in need Of
American funds for any reason whatso-
ever, suggest that he read up on few
facts. I think he would find some sur
prising information about what the
Canadian government has done about
financial assistance to other countries,
not only by lend-lease, but by outright
gifts. All aside from the fact that
Canada has never felt inclined to ask for
any United States dollars by virtue of
its being the only country in the world
today that pays its own way in hard
cash with q lot to spare. It would be
very hard to imagine why Canadians
would want United States dollars any,
way these days since the Canadian dol
lar is worth so much more on the world
market.
Mr.. Knebel's remark reminds me of an
incident during the visit Of M. Auriol Of
France to this country some time ago.
A group Of university students had dis
embussed near where I was standing
in uniform. On seeing my Canada
badge on my shoulder, one of them said:
Where is Canadia?" I replied that it
was Canada. He remarked that he was
sorry, that he knew Canada was in
Quebec! He then mentioned that I
spoke pretty good" English, "being from
Canada" Giving him an "E' for effort.
I suggested that he probably expected
me to speak French, our other official
language. He admitted that he didn't
