House Bill to Cede Dare County to Ireland 'Along With Its Hell, Democrats, Ducks and Member Crisp' Nov. 14, 1921

Representative H.G. Connor Jr. of Wilson is preparing a bill at Raleigh which would cede “the county of Dare to the Irish Republic along with its hell, Democrats, ducks and Member Crisp.” “It’s cut off down there anyhow,” argues Representative Crisp, on being approached on the subject. (From The Independent, Elizabeth City, N.C., Jan. 14, 1921. H.G. Connor Jr. And B.G. Crisp were members of the North Carolina State House of Representatives.)
