Judge Thomas is now on vaca-
ton and while he is away Judge
Charles H. Snowden is presiding
at our local municipal court.
Monday morning a total of rs
cases was listed for trial by Judge
Snowden.
A record indeed was establish
ed by Judge Snowden m the mat
ter of time, because despite the
number of cases listed for trial
the judge called the session to
order promptly at $50 and at
exactly 10 o'clock the final case
was heard and disposed of and
the session was declared adjourn
ed for the day. Veteran court OBJ
servers said it was the most rapid
handling of cases ever witnessed
in our local court.
The case of Bill Wilson of 1900
NV 3rd CT, apt. IL, charged with
petty larceny, with a pocketbook
and $25 in cash, the property of
Lillian Stafford, probably was the
top case of the days session.
Miss Stafford told the court that
she had been out Saturday night,
and when she returned to her
home at 621 NV 1St ct. early
Sunday morning, she met Wilson
standing in her door. She added
that she went to the bathroom
and when she returned she saw
Wilson with her pocketbook. She
declared that Wilson took her
peck etbook, jumped in his car,
where his wife, was already sit
ting, and pulled off before she
could retrieve the pocketbook.
She declared that she had more
than $25 in the pocketbook. She
called the police and the officers
went to Wilson's home, got the
pocketbook and arrested Wilson.
Wilson told an entirely differ
ent story from that told by Miss.
Stafford. Wilson told the court
that he used to go in company
with Miss Stafford, but later quit
and married Mrs. Wilson. Wilson
declared that Miss Stafford never
forgave him for marrying Mrs.
Wilson rather than her, and that
she has always held a grudge
against him and his wife. Wilson
further explained that every

R. S. Mack of 1880 NV 3rd ave.,
has returned from his vacation in
Detroit, Mich, and Windsor,
Canada. He is just bubbling over
with the way he has enjoyed the
trip, and states:
During my visit to Canada,
attended the EngliSh-American
Emancipation celebration held in
Jackson Park on July 80 to Aug.
2, in Windsor, and heard a bril-
liant speech by DR.. Benjamin
Mays of Morehouse College, At
lanta, Ga, who was the principal
speaker; also an interesting mes
sage from His Honor Mayor
Michael Patrick of Windsor.
81 attended the Michigan State
American Legion convention
which convened in Detroit Aug.
3 to 6; visited three Legion post
homes and spoke to a large group
of Legionaires, White and Color
ed, assuring them of the plans
and preparations we are making
in Miami for their convenience
and entertainment during the
American Legion National Con-
veption on Oct. 1913.
81 was also the honored guest
Of the Unity Social Club of De-
troit. This club is made up most
ly of members of the Greater
Macedonia Baptist Church pastor
ed by DIR. H. II. Coleman, and
without a reasonable doubt, one
of the best conducted clubs in
America. Sister Maggie Berry of
340S Charlevoi ST., is the preSi-
dent. If you ever visit Detroit, do
not miss Macedonia and the Unity
club"

ACTIVITIES AT

While generally August is con-
sidered a slow month, due to va

center of a parish organized in
1701.
Azaleas and other Towering
shrubs bloom in Edenton gardens
during mid-April, and these, with
magnificent old trees and well
kept lawns, make the city one of
the most beautiful along the
Eastern seaboard. Edenton is on
U. S. II, 346 miles north of
Charleston, South Carolina, and
90 miles south of Williamsburg,
Virginia.
The Edenton Pilgrimage is
conducted with the sponsorship of
the local Woman's Club and the
full cooperation of the city's civic
organizations and home onwers.
Boy Scouts and Sea Scouts serve
as guides, and visitors arriving by
bus will find cars and drivers
available to take them on tour
from Pilgrimage Headquarters at
the Joseph Hewes Hotel.
Folders describing the Pilgrim
age are available from Mrs. w. T.
Harry, Box 430, Edenton, North
Carolina.
Edenton was established in
1923 and known as Queen Anne's
Town until 1922, when its name
was changed in honor of Royal
Governor Charles Eden. Edenton's
merchant prince, Joseph Hewes,
was one of the three North Caro-
lima signers of the Declaration of
independence and placed his ships
at General Washington's disposal.

OTHERWISE HONEST
BREAK TRAFFIC LAWS

Raleigh.-"Why is it that citi-
zens who obey other laws often
show great contempt for traffic
laws ?"
The question was asked this
week by Col. James R. Smith,
commander of the State Highway
Patrol, as he commented on the
Importance of knowing and obey
ing state traffic laws,
Col. Smith said people who
would be critical of sharp prac-
tees in business, who are strictly

ed in the community, will fire.
quently brag about getting
away" with some infraction of
traffic laws.
"This attitude is difficult to
understand when you consider the
seriousness of our traffic prob
lems," he said. Department of
Motor Vehicles records show there
were 991 people killed in motor
vehicle accidents in 1854. 1t is
significant that department rec
ords show 81 per cent of the fatal
traffic accidents involved viola
tions of traffic laws by one or
more drivers. The conclusion is
Observation-Disclosures of traffic laws
lead to traffic accidents"
The colonel declared that, in
the face of these facts, no person
can consider himself responsible
citizen if he doesn't have the same
respect for traffic laws as he has
for laws prohibiting such crimes
as robbery and murder.

ton and Countryside April 1916.
Colonial residences, a church,
courthouse, and plantation homes
along the Chowan River and Abe

All Pilgrimage visitors are in

location. Its double galleries now
overlook Albemarle Sound and are
within sight of Edenton Green,
which slopes down to Edenton Bay
from the Chowan County Court
House. The teacakes served at the

Penelope Barker when she pre-
pared refreshments for The 81
ladies of Edenton who met. at her
home in 1774 to "solemnly engage
not to conform to that pernicious
practice of drinking tea or ye'
wear of any manufacture from
England until such time that all
acts which tend to enslave this
our native country shall be re-
pealed".
Bandon Plantation, home of
novelist Inglis Fletcher, was
established in 1717 through land
grants from Lord Granville. The
present house was built about
1890. Among the other planta-
lions on the Pilgrimage are Syca-

home built before the Revolution
and containing the original floors,
paneling and mantels; and Null

TIL E P A S T
BY CAROLYN LLOYD

Airhe, the beautiful mansion on
Wrightsville Sound, has thirty
bedrooms. What started out as a
twoSroom ''shack" was expanded
to the thirty-eight room mansion
to accommodate the ever increasing
number of visitors. Imagine that.
Even with ample money and full
staff Of servants, the prospect of
thirty bedrooms filled with guests
would scare most women today in
to nervous breakdown. Orion
has only six bedrooms, which
would accommodate more than
enough guests to suit most people.
When those homes were built peo-
pie nothing of dropping in to stay
for week and meals were always
prepared with an eye to uneXpect-
ed guests. Today, though we still
cling to the old tradition of
Southern hospitality, most house
wives buy just enough pork chops
for the family, and, unless they
have freezers, are apt to be en-
barrassed when unexpected guests
drop in for a meal. That may not
be true in rural areas, where the
smokehouse is nearby, and the
pantry is filled with jars of fruits
and vegetables, but it is true of
most urban jewellers. Apartments
and small houses just aren't con-
ductive to large-scale hospitality,
and the accessibility of hotels and
motels make it unnecessary for
the traveller to seek shelter with
friends overnight.
l never lived in a mansion such
as Orion or Airlie, but l do re-
member that there was always on
our table more than the family
could possibly eat, "just in case
somebody dropped i'm. We never
had to worry whether there would
be enough for dinner in case we
wanted to invite a friend at the
last minute. Until I grew up and
became an apartment dweller, I
had never eaten a meal in the
kitchen, for that was where the
cook ate. Nowadays l wouldn't
know what to do with cook if l
had one because there simply
wouldn't be room in the kitchen
for both of US. Such thoughts
bring back visions of old Lizzie,
who presided over our kitchen in
Louisiana for ten years and was,
more or less, the boss of the
household. Lizzie was wonderful
cook but was not noted for the
sweetness of her disposition.
Among the things she abhorred
were children messing around
her kitchen" and people who got
a clean glass every time they
wanted drink of water" Perhaps
