But I’m pretty happy here. I've got triends, black and white. I guess I'm pretty comfortable.” Those who are comfortable at Disruption Spawns Prejudice (Continued From A-i0 ment officer is critical of the issues raised by the blacks who recently disrupted school. “‘They were such little picky things,” he says. + A sophomore girl feels she is wasting time in her classes and blames blacks. “‘I’ve been doing seventh grade work in class all year. The teacher can’t progress because the blacks can’t do the work. The whole class is being held back because of a few. And when we do start to move ahead, they disturb class so no- body can get anything done.”’ A junior boy has the same complaint. “It’s not all blacks, just some. There are some who ‘are great, really sharp dudes, but for every one like them, you have 10 rejects.” “Tt just qa certain group that catiges the trouble,”’ a junior boy agrees. “‘You got some who won't keep up in class, not be- cause they’re dumb, but be- cause they’re lazy. They're the ones who are always going ar- ound starting fights and stuff.” AFTER LISTENING to a number of these replies, a cer- tain underlying pattern begins to emerge. Those black students who are making it in school — the ones racking up good grades, athletic honors, social popularity — are accepted and even genuinely liked by most white students. The others, the ones who don’t have the talent, inititive or opportunity to do likewise, are tolerated at best. ‘‘We go our way and they go theirs,”’ as one student put it. As a Grimsley teacher ob- served, ‘‘] think most white peo- ple looked at civil rights that way, that what blacks wanted was_the right to be like us . . . to enter our society. We thought that if they got their rights, they would all put on suits and ties and act like Sidney Poitier. We were wrong.” It is apparent that this cul-’ tural gap is one of the serious hurdles between the schools and racial amity, and it may account for the infrequent social integra- tion at Grimsley. Outside class and certain or- ganized activities, like sports’ and band, blacks and whites largely go their own ways. In the cafeteria during one recent lunch period, every table was filled, but only one was being shared by blacks and whites. Students are allowed to leave campus for lunch, with parental permission, and on another re- cent day, some 25 carloads of students were observed heading for the nearest hamburger stand. Only one car carried any blacks. MORE OFTEN than not, blacks and whites walk to class with friends of the same race. ‘‘Integration is not the rosy picture everyone thought it would be,” one white student, a junior, commented. “Everybody thought integration was going to mean black and white students walking down the halls arnmi-in-arm, but it’s not that way at all. We're just so different, and throwing us to- gether like this has made the differences seem even greater.” Still, the white students inter- viewéd for these articles gener- ve ally favor integration and are willing to accept blacks as friends and equals. “I think we ought to have’ integration,” a junior girl said. “After all, the world out there is both black and white.” On the issue of violence,’ how- ever, particularly the random racial vielence that took place during the disruptions, they are adamant. “If I were black, I'd probably be out protesting too,” a junior girl admitted. ‘‘But if I were one of those kids beaten up just because my skin was white, I don’t know how much sympathy I could feel for the blacks.” Another junior girl comment- ed, ‘‘I think having blacks at Grimsley is fine; bat they’ve got to behave themselves and stu- dents have got to feel like they can walk the halls in safety.” + . € LS around ‘this school who are Tomming it,”” a black student said. ‘They act like they think thev're white. You never see them with black kids. They're always with whites. They talk white and act white.’ VENOM IS especially direct- ed at black honor students. [he ones who are smart might as. well be white. Every time you see them they got their arm out to here with books. I guess -that’s because they want to be ‘Somebody," not like the rest of us who don’t want to be no- body,’’ one student said. It is a telling attack, as both black honor students and school officials confirm. ‘‘It really hurts to be called an Uncle Tom,” a. top black student ad- mitted. ** times you feel like you got to act a certain way just to prove: your blackness.” School Officialgisay that this desire to “prove your black- ness’? makes quelling disturb- ances more dif “You have a real lack of leadership among black students,”’ a-school offi- cial said. ‘‘The best students, the ones who could provide re- sponsible leadership and get” things done, can’t do or say any- thing to stop a disturbance.

What was it all for? The’ list of demands seems trifling in re- trospect: more black represen- tation on the student council, more black participation in clubs and activities and black bands at school dances. The student council already had black representation nearly because too few ran during the elections. A BIRACIAL student group is n@wv considering a proposal for a 15-member student council with five representatives for each class. The sophomores, for example, would elect two white representatives, two black rep- resentatives and @ fifth person, who would be the highest vote- getter regardless of race. This would insure at least six blacks on the 15-member council, and | yotes would have to be by a drawn out of a hat to match clubs with those interested in them. As one white student ~ remarked bitterly, ‘If blacks wanted to take over a club, they could. All they would have to do is get enough people to sign up. But even when they do get in, they won’t come to the meet- ings.”’ Black students reply that they won't go where they’re not wanted, and since the school buses don’t run at night, they have trouble getting crosstown to after-school meetings, and ac- 4 cothibuges to the: Grimsley dis- ruptions. The student council hottie theoreti plans for a spring square dance in the girls’ gym. Part of the thinking be- hind the-idea for a ‘square daneé rather than some other type was economic; there was a. school bivegrass group willing to donate its services. Some black students reacted to the idea with scorn. * What | wr .t with no square dance, man@”’ a junior sneered s school violence, don't, because they're afraid of being called Uncle Toms.” Economic influences were pointed out by a guidance coun- selor: ‘Your lower class blacks economically can iook and see their brothers and sisters mak- ing it in a white, middle class situation here at school, and naturally they resent it, realiz- ing that they don’t have the edu- cation, background and maybe even ability to make it them- selves.” ’ THE CULTURAL differences between the black and white worlds, between which black students commute each day, are a formidable barrier to racial unity. Several black students in- terviewed said that they feel more comfortable and learn quicker from black teachers. A black teacher placedmuch of the blame on white teachers. “From what my black students tel me, they. feel that some of the white teachers really don’t want them here. They say those teachers don’t take any interest in them and act like they don’t have to do anything to enrich their lives.” cs Another black teacher added that.many teachers make their students, particularly black * » .* create the tension that, est in Slow students an ry to beat their classes out the'door in the afternoor i 4 iia much what thev {2et and ot inter nem REACTING TO consider to be white hostility or disinterest, manv black students vearn for an all-black school sit- uation, yearn in fact for Dudley, a school few of them have ever attended. But the end to their minority status is more important than any particular school. A number of black students said that they think they could be happy at Grimsley if the numbers were evened up. One of the black students who left school because of his partic- ipation in the recent disturb- ancésS expressed it this way: “I’m in a job training program now, all-black, and it’s really nice. I like it a lot better than I everliked school. I’m relaxed and J feel I belong. I can go up to the board and work, out a problem and talk to the teacher, because we speak the same lan- guage. It’s nice.” A . __‘The square dance was held as scheduled, but it was an all- white affair. . SCHOOL POLICY at Grim- sley is to have integrated bands ‘for school dances if possible. *'l feel we have a pretty good track record in this regard,”’ Principal Glenn said. ‘For the past three school dances, we've had a “You 2 mee eee es black band, a white band and an integrated band.

Until the recent outbreak at Grimsley, ac- cording to the teachers, enforce- ment of the rules, specifically the Code of Student Conduct, nonsibi _was a sometime thing, and teacher morale has suffered as a result. “It’s gotten to the point now chat 1 wouldn’t even report a student for smoking mari- juana,’’ one teacher saidg “| don’t think I would be support- ed if I did.

Heritage Items Sought By Home Mission Board ATLANTA, Ga. (BP) — Tangible links with the past, suitable for dis- play, are being sought by the South- etn Baptist Home Mission Board for a newly-created heritage room in the Lawrence-Garrison Building in Atlan- ta. Included in the room will be such items as a wardrobe which belonged to Miss Annie Armstrong, first exe ecutive secretary of Woman's Mis- sionary Union, who also was active in home missions; a desk which bee longed to Isaac T. Tichenor, an out- standing executive secretary of the mission agency, and pictures of each of the 15 executive secretaries of the board. Individuals with items which might be suitable for the heritage room are asked to communicate with Walker L. Knight, chairman of a committee to develop the room, at 161. Spring Street, N. W., Atlanta, Ga. 30303. Knight: said the committee wants the room to reveal how God has worked through people and events in history to accomplish His will in win- ning the lost to personal faith fn Christ. To do this the room will preserve historical materials and artifacts which have some relationship to Home Missions. v eee f hel] PITORI HOME-COMING ‘ An a hearty welcome extended pie Home, Aumni, their families and friends in the last issue of this paper, Joe Hawkins, President of the Association, and principal of the Reedy Creek School, spoke for everyone who lives here now. Joe came to’ the Mills Home with four brothers and a sister back in the twenties. . The family has been closely associated with the progressive un- dertakings in child welfare that have gone on in the years since and has kept this special spot at Thomasville ever in mind. _ There is something in Joe's message ‘always appropriate in calling home those who have travelled afar. He calls attention to the fact that home is where we share the experiences of days gone by. Whether it is a cabin or a mansion, wherever happy memories turn to former scenes, there one may find his dwelling, ‘for home is where the heart is, or nowhere at all. That is the kind of welcome we extend you who return on the week-end of August 1: a warm assurance that you are in. our hearts. You may be impressed by changes that have come and may net know many who now stay on these grounds. There is still to be found here the same happy response of youth, the same concern of adults — and with it all an awareness that we are bound together in a family group. ENG WHY DO THEY RIOT? Easter, spring vacation, Fourth of July, Labor Day, have sources of increasing concern for police officials, college -authorities, thoughtful parents, and, it may he emphatically as- summed, hy thousands of purposeful students on the campuses of colleges and universities across the nation. Almost spontane- ously students flock by tens of thousands to hitherto attractive resorts, only to prove to residents and law officials worse than : an invasion of seven-year locusts on a mid-western wheat field. At the close of the Independence Dav-celebration it was re- rted that around. 30,000 students left five summer resorts i Yew York, Ohio, Missouri and Iowa, with theggasualty list check- ed up as more than 700 arrests, 25 injuries and thousands of dol- lars of property damage. Florida has borne the brunt of invasions of the springtime, but any state can be the object of the attack. “Each holiday seems to get a little worse,” declared a police jus- | tice of New York state. “These kinds have Jost all respect and “gratitude for the reason we celebrate this holiday,” was the re- mark of a mayor of an Ohio resort town. Why do they riot? It it a symptom of an age that spends untold billions for destructive purposes? Does it fall in line with the. muddled state in which national affairs seem to wallow, with the confusion and frustration confronting youth on many sides? Perhaps these make up part of the picture. ‘They may be re- sponsible for a deeper, underlying cause. That lies jn_p lack of purpose, certainly a constructive reason for living, on the part o many in this terrifyingly dangerous age. Life has no strong mean- ing hevond satisfactions of an animal nature. Spiritual values are theoretical at most; the old Epicurean philosophy prevails on beaches and elsewhere as too many thousands throw inhibitions to the winds in breaking the laws of society and producing an- archy around them. Their behavior i: istinct to greater number of youn e who search for a meaning for life, and in the whirl of events refuse to accept the claim that frothing matters. OF this group, the News and Observer speaks with sympathy and stern reprimand: “Their behavior is shameful. Their con- duct is shocking.” Then Tt adds: “Certainty the most horrifying thing out these young peeple roaring in obscenity, drunkenness -and. violence is one unescapable fact: These are our children and the children of a time never equalled in knowledge, powers and the possibility of decency for all.” ENG GET OFF THE LAUNCHING-PAD Nat Jones is the teacher of a large group of young men of the Enon Baptist Church in the Flat River Association. He disclaims scholarship but prepares the Sunday School lesson so thoroughly each week, that the members of the class, who ad- mire his genuineness and appreciate the example he sets day after day, seldom like to be marked absent. At the beginning of the present quarter’s lessons on Grow- ing a Christian Life, he called attention to a comment he had run across in preparing the lesson. Simply, but effectively, he re- . Marked that someone had said that “one of the greatest disap- intments in thé space age is the missiles that never get off the aunching-pad.” coe The application is easy. Our thoughts turn to young Chris- tians whose profession of faith gives promise of joyous witnessing for Christ, but who for some reason lack the power to get into space. High school students, whose intellectual potential keeps stride with changing mathematical and scientific date, often fail to display the same brilliance in meeting prob- lems of right and wrong in school and community life. Young men and women for whom have--been entertained high hopes of leadership in church, fizzle out at the time when they could mean i ‘ edicated livin na ; ic , Men and women, church Sen Ae 754 JAMES SCOTT is saiq to have been born at sea about 1750.

VOLUME IV Alleghany Alexander Rertie Camden Caswell Clay Davie { Upilt Durham Franklin (ate Jones Martin McDowell Mecklenburs Pr rmquimatr Ruthertor itland thice Transylvania Tyrrell Wake Warret Our Counties, A to Y } By H. CLAY FERREE (In the Winston-Salem Journal & Sentinel) Recently, in his STATE magazine column, Carl Goerch expressed the opinion that not one North Carolinian in a thousand could name the nine counties of the state which have only four letters in their names. This statement aroused my interest, partly because | had just returned from Ashe, one of these four-letter counties, - where Mrs. Ferree and I spent Christ- mas with our son, Harold, and_ his family at his mountain home in Glen- dale Springs. So, I began to prod my memory to see if I could prove that I was one of Mr. Goerch’s “one in a thousand” Tar Heels. I was edeter- mined to do this without peeking at a map or any list of North Carolina counties. To begin with, there was Ashe, and Mr. Goerch had mentioned Hyde. Then I recalled that two other Western were Clat and Polk, and T remembered that Raleigh, the © state capital city, was also the county seat of Wake. That made five four-letter coun- tics. What were the others? | recalled then that: one eastern county was named after Virginia Dare, the first child of English parentage born in America, and that one county was named after a North Carolina Con- federate General, Robert Hoke. This made seven four-letter counties, with two more to be dragged out of the pit of memory. Pit? Oh, yes, Pitt County, with Greenville as its county seat. And the ninth? This last took some brain cudgeling, but at last one hap- pened to recall that the city of Rocky Mount lies partly in Edgecombe and partly in Nash counties. So: there was our ninth four-letter county — Nash, There they are in a row: Ashe, Hyde, Clay, Polk, Wake, Dare, Hoke, Pitt and Nash. count S This study of four-letter counties brings up, via the association of ideas, other facts about North Carolina county names. How many counties have names of Indian origin? By my 22 count there are eleven: Alleghany, Ca- tawba, Cherokee, Chowan, Pam- lico, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Wa- tauga, Yadkin, Currituck, and Ala- mance. (Some historians, however," question whether Alamance is not of Germaf rather than Indian origin.) Too, the state has one county named after » Christopher Columbus, two named after U. S. presidents, Jackson and Madison, one named after Scot- land, one after General Robert E. Lee, one after Benjamin Franklin, and two (with different names) after William Pitt, the Earl of Chatham (Pitt and Chatham counties). One is named after George Washington -and one after Henry Clay, “The Great Pacificator.” But Lincoln County, contrary to pre- vailing assumption in some quarters, was not named in honor of President Abraham Lincoln, but does honor to Benjamin Lincoln. Most of the other countics honor men prominent in North Carolina and English history (Forsyth, for example, was named af- ter Col. Benjamin Forsyth, Carolina hero of the War of 1812) although Mecklenburg takes its name from Queen (or Princess) Charlotte of Mecklenburg, and New Hanover ftom the House of Hanover—while Union apparently is so named because it was made yy from parts of two counties. So much for county names. Which is the state’s largest county? Robeson (“the state of Robeson”) fas often been referred to as North Carolina’s largest county. But it isn’t. The largest county is Sampson, which has an area of 963 square miles. Robeson, the sec- ond largest, has 944. The third largest county is Columbus, with 939 square miles. In the Northwest ‘section, “the state of Wilkes,” (named after John Wilkes) is the largest county embracing an area of 765 square miles. The small- est county in the state apparently is New Hanover, which has an area of only 194 square miles. : Around the turn of the century some country school teachers required their pupils to memorize the: names of th various counties of the state and their county¥ seats. In my I can still see Miss | White-haired old maid names of mind's. eve ton a veteran teacher, a stern disciplinarian, standing in front of a large wall map and point ing to each coulfty with a cane whil youngsters repeated after her: Chero kee — Murphy, Clay Havesville, Polk Columbus, Buncomb Ashe ville, ét Her pupils reall learned the names of the counti cetera thuabl county seats, but yust how y information was, in a strictly pract sense, is open to debate Watch Your Lanquac | a CUMYNAPHITEIS In our earlier days we were a cum yxaphitis; but we'd never have known it, even now, if we article .by ard Bonet A cumyxaphitis, collector of noticed an Rich hadn't Salisbury) Post: writer Boner, cis matchbooks.

April 1, 1970 Dear Mr.- Swann: Our good friend, Catherine Turner, has spoken of you so Oiten that I feel that I know you. I have planned to visit you since she first told me about you, but as everyone else these days, I seem to run out of time before I get around to all that I intend to do, Contrary to most women my age, I do not drive, so this limits my visiting until my patient hus- band Can take me, 2” Recently I heard from Mr. Hibbard of Oklahoma City, who Spoke very warmly of you. I dug through Catherine's letters to find the one that included your address and decided tzat I would write, but I still have hopes of meeting you. I am a descendant of John Sharpe, son of Thomas Sharp, Jr. nowever, | have a missing link, so at present I cannot tel} you Just where my ancestor fits on the John Sharpe limb of the fam- ily tree. “y great-great grandfather was Alfred Sharpe and was born November 17, 1807 and died May 30, 1876. I am fortunate to hay All his papers and an old Bible; however none of these seem to sive much indication as to the identity of his parents. My: grand- mother. who passed away only a little over a year ago did not «now Alfred's father's name; however she sat that Alfred and Ce wilas csharpe (born 1780) were brothers. After receiving a copy ithe wills of John Sharpe and his wife Lillian MeCoy Sharpe, find that this is almost impossible. It is possible that John was Alfred's grandfather, but I can neither prove nor disprove his as I have found no trace of:the descendants of David, James y Sharpe the other sons of John. I have been Qgnable to find for them. Do you have any information on them? In the old Bible are only two entries; Elizabeth B, Sharp born Juge 1773 and Rebecca born March ot; doe. In: the will of Rebekah Black dated 1818, she mentions her daughter Elizabeth snarpe. Alfred named one of his Older. sons James Black sharpe, ‘y grandmother told me before she died that she believed Alfred's mother was a Black. There is indication among Alfred's papers that his parents passed away while he and a brother, Fielding (?) and Rebecca were minors, There is a paper marked only "Settlement of Sharpe ketate Dec. 25, 1826 (1824-1826) Guardian A. Adams." All of the paper is not thé¥e, but it appears that they had figured interest for each year. There is a deed dated sometime in the late 1820 showing wnere Alfred Sharpe and Samuel (Lumuel) King traded tracts of land. The description of the plot seems to indicate that it in the general location of the land bequeathed to two of John Sharpes sons. I am also working on the Jenkins family and am imaking ver; progress., My great grandfather Alfred Jenkins cane fh, a County shortly after 1860.

Originaliy from Scotland, he emigrated to Ireland and be- cause of his staunch Presbyterian faith sought religious freedom in America. He and his wife Isabel settled on 640 acres of land in Cecil County, Maxyland. There he died in 1746. Thomas Sharpe, Jr., their son, served as an elder in Rock Creek Presbyterian Church in Cecil County for some fifty years. Thomas and his wife, the former Mary McFarin, had thirteen children: William, Joseph, jokin, James, Samuel, Isabel, Sarah, Mary, Thomas, Amos, David, Ebenezex and ‘alter. Four sons--Joseph, William, James and Joha- are known to have served in the Revolutionary War from what is now Iredell County. Mery (1760--1810) married Capt. William Feimster, also a Revolutionary soldier, and had a son Abner. Joseph Sharpe, our ancestor,.was born Nov. 22, 1753 and died April 15, 1842. He had two sons, one named Asel (Azel). Joseph always a volunteer entered service in 1775, became Captain in 1780, served in several companies, and engaged in numerous battles in North and South Cerolina. He is buried at Snow Creek.

I was especially interest in the 1820 census reading of Elizabeth. I think we are on the right tract; and somewhere is. the clue that will solve the mystery. “ve spent a little time at the courthouse one afternoon last week and found something that puzzles me. I had always thought that Silas D. Sharpe was the father of Calvin M. Sharpe, but he was never mentioned in connection with his children. I looked it up in the deaths at the Courthouse and found the entry as folloys:—@alvin M. Sharpe died Feb. 16, 1919. Father: Silas . eharpe. Mother: Nancy Allen. Now what puzzles me is the fact that Silas Davidson Sharpe and Mary had 11 children born from 1830 to 1851. Silas Davidson Sharpe was born 1809 and died 1858; mak- ing him only 49 year old. According to the Civil War record of Calvin M. Sharpe, he was born about 1834 and according to his -e in the 1860 census, he was born about 1829. ‘This was during he period that Silas Davidson Sharpe was married to Mary Sharpe Feimster. Also, I was given a list of brothers and sisters of Catvin by one of his descendants. This list gives five sisters and one brother, which would have made 7 children in the family. ' I just chétked my cemetery record of Trinity and find that Calvin was born Dec. 3, 1828 and died Feb, 16, 1919. His sister Clemen- za was born July 17, 1835 and died Dec. 25, 1904. In 1860 he is listed as living with his sister Amanda and her age is given as 47. There must have been two Silas D. Sharpes who were about the Same age! as t L In the register of deeds office, I found a very interesting clue. Several of the books that I wanted to use were being used; however I checked two deeds connected with Rebecca Sharpe. There was a third, which I did not get checked. One was Rebecca Sharp to Ebenezer F. Sharpe "land left to her by her father James M. Sharpe, deceased." (John Sharpe had a son James McKoy.) It was signed in the presence of Joel Wilson and Elizabeth Sharpe, 133%. (This is about the same time that Alfred and Samuel King exchang- ed land.) The second deed was Rebecca to E. A. Sharpe. I fail- ed to get the date; however I think that it was 18350. I am hav- them copied. The machine was broken and they are to copy them for me this week. From the boundaries, the land seemed to be in same area as Alfred's, By the way, Elizabeth Sharpe had witness- ed the second deed also. I'd better stop typing for a while, and get to the laundry. Hope you and Mrs. Swann are well. Sincerely, . Mnitdrd, nthe P. .S. I am enclosing some papers that I have been copying in con- nection with Mary Sharpe Feimster (dau. of John Sharpe and Wife of Wm. F.) and Silas Davidson Sharpe and wife Mary Sharpe F. Sharpe. I thought that you might like to have a copy. Dr. Roy Feemster of N.
