WALTON O'NEAL WANTS
TO TAKE LIFE EASY NOW
After Having Worked 81 Years. Mr..
O'NeaI Sells Out His Candy
Business in BeIhaven

When man has worked for
fifty-seven years, he is entitled to
take it easy; and that is just
what Walton O'Neal intends to
do. His jaunty step, his bow tie
and alert expression belle his sew.
enty-fve years so it is likely that
Mr. .O'Neal will have a long time
to enjoy the fruit of his labors.
The Belhaven Candy Company,
which Mr.. O'Neal has operated
continuously for the past twenty
seven years, will still be going
strong on Pamlico Street, for the
retiring proprietor sold out, stock
and good will, to a partnership
consisting of John l.. Ratcliff of
Pantego, his daughter, Sylvia, and
Miss EVE Midgette. Ratcliff, own
er of a general merchandise store
in Pantego, is known throughout
the section as a successful bust
ness man. Miss Midgette, who has
been affiliated for a number of
years with the Lupton Tobacco
Company, is also known as an as
tute business woman. Mr.. O'Neal
feels that his is leaving the bust
ness in good hands.
In reminiscing about his business
career, Mr.. O'Neal stated that he
went to work at eighteen, when
his father died and left a widow
and six children, and that he has
been in harness ever since. Twen-
ty-seven years ago on January LIST,
he opened the Belhaven Candy
Company in quarters in the old
theatre building. 1t took him
year, he said, to find out why his
candy stock was constantly getting
low. 1t seems that there was only
simple lock on the door. Some
one tipped him off that five-pound
boxes of candy were frequent gifts
in Hyde County, and he discovered
that boys in this section were
having no trouble jimmying the
simple lock on his store room door
with knife.
Mr.. O'Neal's most vivid recol-
lection of those early years is of
the bad roads he had to travel as
he peddled his wares by car and
trailer through Hyde County and
part of Beaufort County. He car
ried long jack to pry his vehicle
out of mud holes, and it was in
use almost every trip. He attrib-
utes to this jack the injury which
put him in the hospital for ten
weeks, the only period which he
lost from work because of sick
ness during his entire career.
Mr.. O'Neal says that he in
tends to devote his time now to
keeping up his property in Bel
haven and to just enjoy being a
gentleman of leisure.
