The chief reason why people

Kingstree Colored Preacher
Denies White Domination

The Negro preacher at Kings
tree who recently called upon
his people to get out of the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Colored People
was accused of letting white
people write his statement and
scare him into signing it, ac-
cording TO the County Record,
a weekly paper published in
Kingstree.
The parSon says that nobody
scared him into anything or told
Tim what to write.
John H. McCray, NAACP re-
porter for the Afro-American, a
Negro paper published in Balti-
more, wrote Southern Whites,
particularly around jailS and
lcourthouSeS, are pretty famous
for getting a scared and poorly
trained colored mans signature
on documents"
But, Rev. Webster McClary
says that he dictated his state
lment and had it typed just like
he wanted it. He made another
announcement which is reprint
ed from the Record.

TYRRELL COUNTY

by J. w. Alexander, Elizabeth City, N. G.
Tyrrell County though the smallest of all,
Yet to many fond remembrance it calls,
For in it they first saw the light of day,
And as children they romped and did play.
Tyrre in seventeen twenty nine, they tell,
Was formed and named for Sir John Tyrrell
Pasquotank, Currituck, Perquimans Chowan, BERTHE,
All gave territory that Tyrrell County might be.
Tyrrel County when formed in that year long ago,
Reached from Williamson to the Croatan Shores.
Twenty Tyrre had place for Court be held
Except in the homes where its citizens dwelled
Seventeen and forty nine Court House was built
Near the town of Roper, on Hendricks Creek,
Then for fifty years Tyrrell had Seat,
For Courts to be held and its Officers to meet.
Tyrrell gave to Martin in seventeen seventy four,
All its territory west of Plymouth you know,
Tyrrell County then reduced much in size,
Yet there plenty left to be supervised.
For twenty five years Tyrrell in prime,
Then in seventeen hundred and ninety nine,
Tyrrell gave territory to form County,
Named Washington for the father oflour Country.
Washington County took in Tyrreps County Seat,
For one year then Court had no place to meet
In eighteen hundred after counting it's sheep,
Old Shalops Landing made the County Seat.
Eizabethtown was the name of it then
But with other Elizabethtowns it had to contend,
The changed to Columbia in eighteen and one
For Americas discoverer who made the great run.
Tyrrel reached from the Scuppernong Grape Arbor
All the way east to take in Manns Harbor
The travel from the east to Columbia the west,
Gave the people of Manns Harbor a lot of unrest
To this unrest, in eighteen and seventy,
piece from Tyrrell for Dare County severed,
Tyrrel gave that Dare County could be formed,
From the Alligator River to the Croatan Sound.
Tyrre gave to Dare its Mainland reaches,
Currituck gave Roanoke Island and the Beaches,
Hyde County to have part in it
Gave the part that is south of Oregon Inlet
Dare County with its waste waters and grounds,
Was the poorest of any the Counties around
It did its best with friendly disposition,
And brought to International recognition
