PREFACE.
This volume is issued by the North Carolina Historical Commission
in order to furnish to the members of the General Assembly of 1913,
in convenient form, information about the State which otherwise
would require much investigation in many different sources. It is
also hoped that it may prove of value and service to others who
desire to have in succinct form such data about North Carolina.
Similar Manuals, issued in 1903, 1905, and 1907 by the Secretary of
State, and in 1909 and 1911 by the North Carolina Historical Com-
mission, have proven of very general utility and interest, liequests
for copies have come not only from all over North Carolina, but from
most of the States of the Union, and the demand for them has been
so great that these editions have long been exhausted, and it is now
extremely difficult to secure a copy.
The Historical Commission trusts that the members of the General
Assembly of 1913 will find this volume of service to them in their
work.

ments, in their order, without further debate or amendment. If such
question be decided in the negative, the main question shall be con-
sidered as remaining under debate: Provided, that no one shall
move the previous question except the member submitting the report-

troducing the bill or other matter under consideration, or the member

disposed of; but after the previous question has been called by a
majority, no motion, amendment or debate shall be in order.

prior to a motion for the previous question ; but, pending and not

adjourn or lay on the table, or both, are in order. This constitutes

less made prior to the call, and all motions above it fall after its sec-
ond by a majority required. Pending the second, the motions to
adjourn and lay on the table are in order, but not after a second.
When in order and every motion is before the House, the question
stands as follows :
Previous question.
Adjourn.
Lay on the table.
Postpone indefinitely.
Postpone definitely.
To commit.

mittee on Appropriations before reported to the House.

spective committees; and no other clerks of committees shall be ap-
pointed except upon motion, which shall first be referred to the Com-
mittee on Rules, and a favorable report from said committee shall not
allow the appointment of additional clerks of committees unless such
report be adopted bj' two-thirds vote of the House.

diciary and the chairmen and ten members of the Committees on

pensions for confederate veterans.
The first peusion law was passed by the Legish^ture of 1885. It
appropriatetl $30,000 annually for certain classes of disabled Confed-
erate soldiers. This appropriation has been increased from time to
time, until the annual appropriation now amounts to $400,000. Of
this amount $125,000 was added by the Legislature of 1907.
To totally blind and disabled Confederate soldiers the law allows
$120 each per year. That class received $13,280 in 1907.
The Soldiers' Home was organized by the Legislature of 1891 and
there was expended that year $2,250. That has gradually increased
from year to year until the last Legislature appropriated $15,000 for
maintenance and $5,000 for building purposes, making a total of
$20,000 annually.
We have now on the pension roll of North Carolina in round num-
bers 15,000 pensioners, an increase of about 10,000 since 1900.
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.
James Y. Joyner, Superintendent.
The Department of Education is one of the Executive Departments
of the State Government. The Superintendent of Public Instruction,
head of the department, is elected by the people for a term of four
years. His term begins on the first of January next after his election
and continues until his successor has been elected and qualified. His
salary is $3,000 per annum, and in addition he is allowed "actual
traveling expenses" when engaged in the performance of his oQicial
duties.
Section XLI of the Constitution of North Carolina of 1776 is as
follows : "That a school or schools be established by the Legislature,
for the convenient instruction of youth, with such salaries to the mas-
ters, paid by the public, as may enable them to instruct at low prices ;
and all useful learning shall be duly encouraged and promoted in one
or more universities."
Except for the establishment of the Tniversity of North Carolina,
no attempt was made by the Legislature to carry out this injunction
of the Constitution until nearly three-quarters of a century had
elapsed. The first efforts were a failure, and nothing definite was
accomplished until the creation of a Department of Education by the
60 Executi\t: Departments.
election in 1S51 of Calvin H. Wiley Superintendent of Common
Schools. He entered upon the duties of his office in January, 1852,
and was continued in office until October 19, 1SG5. The following fig-
ures tell the story of his work : Number of teachers in 1852, 800 ; in
1855, 2,064 ; in 1860, 2,286. Enrollment in the schools in 1853, 83,373 ;
in 1855, 115,850 ; in 1860, 110,507. Number of schools taught in 1855,
1,905; 1800, 2,854. School fund in 1853, $192,250; in 1860, $408,506.
Expenditures in 1S53, $139,865; in 1800, $255,641. The schools were
kept open throughout the war, and in 1863 enrolled more than 50,000
pupils. In 1865, as one of the results of the war, the office of Super-
intendent of Common Schools was abolished.
By the Constitution of 1868 the office of Superintendent of Public
Instruction was created, and the Department of Education made one
of the Constitutional Departments of the State Government. Since
that time the following have filled the office : S. S. Ashley, Alexander
Mclver, Stephen D. Pool, John C. Scarborough, Sidney M. Finger,
Charles H. Mebane, Thomas F. Toon, and James Y. Joyner.
The scope and general nature of the work of this department can
be best understood from the following summary of the general powers
and duties of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction:
The Superintendent is required to publish the school law, make a
biennial report to the Governor, keep his office at the capital, and sign
all orders for money paid out of State Treasury for educational pur-
poses. He has general direction of the school system and the enforce-
ment of the school law, all school officers being required to obey his
instructions and his interpretation of the law. He is requii*ed to be

COURTS.
The judicial power of the State is vested in :
(1) A Court for the Trial of Impeachments;
(2) A Supreme Court ;
(3) The Superior Courts;
(4) Courts of Justices of the Peace;
(5) Such other inferior courts as may be established by the Gen-
eral Assembly.
COURT OF IMPEACHMENT.
Article IV, section 3, of the Constitution of North Carolina provides
that the court for the trial of impeachment shall be the Senate. A
majority of the members are necessary to a quorum, and the judg-
ment shall not extend beyond removal from, and disqualification to
hold, office in North Carolina ; but the party shall be liable to indict-
ment and punishment according to law. The House of Representa-
tives solely has the power of impeaching. No person shall be con-
victed without the concurrence of two-thirds of the Senators present.
When the Governor is impeached, the Chief Justice presides. The
following causes, or charges, are suflicient, when proven, to warrant
conviction: (1) corruption in office; (2) habitual drunkenness; (3)
intoxication while in the exercise of office; (4) drunkenness in any
public place; (5) mental or physical incompetence to discharge the
duties of office; (6) any criminal matter the conviction whereof
would tend to bring the office into public contempt.
Only once in the history of the State has the High Court of Im-
peachment been organized for the purpose of impeaching the Gov-
ernor. This was in 1870, when the House of Representatives im-
peached Governor W. W. Holden before the Senate, for "high
crimes and misdemeanors." The trial was conducted on both sides
by the most eminent lawyers of the State and resulted in the con-
viction of the Governor and his removal from office. In 1901 similar
charges of impeachment were pi'eferred against Chief Justice David
M. Furches and Associate Justice Robert M. Douglas, but both were
acquitted.
68 Judicial Department.
THE SUPREME COURT.
The Supreme Court consists of a Chief Justice and four associate
justices elected by the qualified voters of the State for a term of
eight years.
The Constitution of 1776 required the General Assembly to "ap-
point judges of the Supreme Courts of Law and Equity, Judges of
Admiralty, and Attorney-General," who were commissioned by the
Governor and held office during good behavior. Acting under this
authority, the General Assembly in 1776 divided the State into six
judicial districts. In 17S2 a seventh district, and in 1787 an eighth
district were added. Under the act of 1777 three judges, Samuel
Ashe, Samuel Spencer, and James Iredell, were chosen. The judges
rode the circuits separately, but sat together as an appellate court.
In 1790 the eight judicial districts were divided into an eastern
and a western riding, and a fourth judge was added, two being as-
signed to each riding. In each riding the two judges sat together as
an appellate court. In 1797 the General Assembly created an extraor-
dinary court for the purpose of trying the Secretary of State and
other officials who had been discovered confederating with others in
an elaborate scheme for defrauding the State by issuing fraudulent
land warrants. For trial of these criminals the General Assembly
deemed it expedient to create a new court to sit at Raleigh twice a
year, not exceeding ten days at each term. The court was author-
ized to hear appeals of causes which had accumulated in the district
courts. The existence of this court under the act was to expire at
the close of the session of the General Assembly next after June 10,
1802, but before the expiration of this time the General Assembly
continued the court for three years longer, for the purpose of hearing
appeals from the district courts, and gave to it the name of "Court
of Conference."' By an act of 1801 the court was made a permanent
Court of Record. The judges were ordered to reduce their opinions to
writing and to deliver the same viva voce in open court. The next
year (ISOo) the name of the court was changed to the Supreme Court.
In 1810 the judges were authorized to elect one of their members a
Chief Justice. John Louis Taylor being chosen to that office. The
Supreme Court now consisted of six judges, but two continued to be a
quorum, and all the judges still rode the circuits.
Supreme and Other Courts. 69
In ISIS an act was passed establishing the present Supreme Court
and rei]uiring it to sit in Raleigh for the hearing of appeals. The act
provided for three judges to be elected by the General Assembly.
John Louis Taylor, Leonard Henderson, and John Hall composed the
first court. The judges elected their own Chief Justice, Taylor being
continued in that office. The number of judges continued to be three
until 1S68, when the Constitution adopted by the convention of that
year increased the number to five. The Convention of 1875 reduced
it again to three, but by an amendment adopted in ISSS the number
was raised to five, where it has continued until the present time.
The Supreme Court holds annually two sessions of sixteen weeks, one
beginning the first Monday in September, the other the first Monday
in February.
The court is authorized to choose its own clerk, marshal, reporter,
and other officers.
SUPERIOR COURTS.
There are sixteen Superior Court judges, one for each of the six-
teen circuits, or judicial districts, who are elected by the people and
hold their offices for a term of eight years. The Superior Court has
appellate jurisdiction of all issues of law or of fact determined by a
clerk of the Superior Court or justice of the i^eace, and of all appeals
from inferior courts for error assigned in matters of law as provided
by law. In the matter of original jurisdiction the law is :
"The Superior Court shall have original jurisdiction of the civil
actions whereof exclusive original jurisdiction is not given to some
other court, and of all criminal actions in which the punishment may
exceed a fine of fifty dollars or imprisonment for thirty days ; and
of all such affrays as shall be committed within one mile of the place
where and during the time such court is being held."
OTHER COURTS.
The Constitution gives to the General Assembly power to establish
other courts inferior to the Supreme and Superior Courts, and to
allot and distribute to them such powers and jurisdiction, within
constitutional limits, as it sees fit. From the decision of these
inferior courts the Legislature has power to provide a proper system
of appeals.
70 Judicial Department.
The presiding officers and clerks of these courts are elected in such
manner as the General Assembly may from time to time prescribe,
and they hold their offices for a term not exceeding eight j-ears.
The Constitution also requires the General Assembly to provide
for the establishment of special courts for the trial of misdemeanors
in cities and towns where the same may be necessary.
Such courts are the mayors of cities and incorporated towns.
Their election or appointment is usually provided for in the charters
of incorporation, the acts of the General Assembly prescribing how
particular towns and cities shall be governed.
The jurisdiction of such special courts — also called in the law,
inferior courts — is usually set forth in the charters.
The general law also provides that "the mayor of every city and
incorporated town . . . within the corporate limits of his city or
town, shall have the jurisdiction of a justice of the peace in all
criminal matters arising under the laws of the State or under the
ordinances of such city or town."
Justices of the peace, in their respective counties, try (1) that class
of civil actions which involve demands for small debts and property
of little value and (2) that class of criminal actions, called petty
misdemeanors, which involve only slight punishment.
They try all cases of contract or promise to pay money where the
sum demanded does not exceed two hundred dollars.
They may try certain other civil actions where the value of the
property in controversy or the amount claimed for damages does not
exceed fifty dollars.
They try criminal cases arising within their counties the punish-
ment of which fixed by law cannot exceed a fine of fifty dollars or
imprisonment for thirty days.

Corporation Commission. 71
NORTH CAROLINA CORPORATION COMMISSION.
A. J. Maxwell, Clerk.
The North Carolina Corporation Commission was established by an
act of the General Assembly of 1899. superseding the Railroad Com-
mission, which was established in 1891. The offices of the Commis-
sion are located in the Agricultural Building at Raleigh.
The Commission has general supervision over all railroad, tele-
graph, telephone, street railway, steamboat, canal, waterworks, and
all other companies exercising the right of eminent domain.
It is authorized to hear and adjust complaints, to fix and revise
tariffs of all railroads and all other transportation companies.
The Commission is a Board of Appraisers and Assessors for all the
railroads and other corporations mentioned above.
The Commission is also a State Tax Commission, having and exer-
cising general supervision over the tax-listers and assessing officers
of the State.
In 1899 the Commission was given supervision of all State bahks.
Since that time there have been only two failui-es of State banks in
which creditors lost anything, and in these two the losses were small.
State banks have increasetl in number during the last ten years from
118 to 382, with a corresponding increase in resources. The Commis-
sion has authority to appoint Bank Examiners, whose duties are to
examine the various banks of the State and report to the Commission.
COMPLAINTS.
The Commission has heard 4,230 complaints. These complaints
consist principally of overcharges, discriminations, freight service,
failure of railroad companies to provide cars for ti-ansporting freights,
storage charges, petitions for depots and sidings.
The Commission is authorized to make rules for the handling of
freight, and to require the building of depots, etc.
When the complaint is filed, the attention of the company com-
plained against is called to the cause of the complaint; and if the
matter be such that cannot be settled by correspondence alone, the
officers of the company complained against are cited to appear. In a
large majority of cases these claims are amicably settled to the en-
tire satisfaction of the parties concerned and without cost to the com-
72 Judicial Depabtment.
plaiuant ; others have, however, required hearings. The records of
the Commission show that many complaints and claims, aggregating
thousands of dollars, have been paid to shippers. Union and other
stations have been established all along the A^arious lines of railroads.
CORKESPON DEN CE.
The correspondence of the office has been voluminous — many in-
quiries touching taxation and matters pertaining to corporations, etc.
Shippers have found that by applying to this office they can be ad-
vised of the proper freight rates and of the rules governing the trans-
portation of freight to and from all points, and they are taking ad-
vantage of the opportunity. Much correspondence is necessary in
the preparation of cases and the gathering of such statistics as are
contemplated by law. All of this involves a vast amount of labor
and correspondence.
ASSESSMENT AND VALUATION OF RAILROAD, TELEGRAPH, TELEPHONE AND
STREET RAILWAY PROPERTY BY THE CORPORATION COMMISSION.
In the year 1900 — the year after the Commission was established—
the railroad properties of the State were valued at $12,321,704; in
the year 1911 the Commission assessed and valued the properties of
railroads and other coi-porations as mentioned below at $126,052,267.

THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
W. A. Graham, Commissioner.
The Constitutiou of the State (1876) provides for a Department of
Agriculture, Immigration and Statistics. Under tliis fundamental law
the General Assembly established the Department of Agriculture in
1877. (Chapter 274.)
Since that time, it has been fostered and enlarged by the General
Assembly, and its field expanded by the enterprise, energy, and capac-
ity of its corps of workers, until it stands to-day without a rival in
efficiency in the South. This reputation comes from without more
than from within the State. It is a condition that the administration
may well be proud of, since the fact retlouuds to the credit not only
of the Board of Agriculture and those engaged by it in the work, but
of the whole State.
At present, the Board consists of ten members, one member from
each Congressional District, who is appointed by the Governor and
confirmed by the Senate, for terms of six years; and of the Commis-
, sioner of Agriculture, who is, ex officio, a member of and chairman
of the Board. All members are required by law to be practical
farmers.
The Commissioner of Agriculture, who is chief executive officer of
the Department, was formerly elected by the Board ; but the Legisla-
ture of 1899, in order to bring the Department in closer touch with
the people, especially the farmers of the State, so changed the law as
to make the Commissioner an elective officer.
It is remarkable that, during all the changes of the years, the
essential features of the original law have been retained, showing
that the wise men who originated and developed the idea of a depart-
ment for the betterment of the State's interests builded better than
they knew.
The Department is charged with the following :
1. Investigations relating to the improvement of agriculture, the
beneficial use of commercial fertilizers and composts, and to induce
capital and labor to enter the State.
2. With investigations for the improvement of milk and beef cattle,
especially with investigations relating to the diseases of cattle and
other domestic animals — having power to quarantine infected animals
and to regulate the transportation of stock within the State.
TS Administrative Departments.
3. With investigations of the ravages of insects injuriously affecting
market gardens, fruits, etc., and with dissemination of information
essential for their abatement.
4. With investigations directed to the introduction and fostering of
new agricultural industries adapted to the various soils and climate
of the State.
5. With investigations relative to the subject of drainage and irri-
gation, and mineral and domestic sources of fertilizer, including com-
posting, etc.
6. With the collection of information relating to the subject of
farm fences, etc.
7. With the enforcement of the laws enacted for the sale of com-
mercial fertilizers, seeds, food products, and with authority to make
regulations concerning the same.
8. With the dissemination of information relative to the advantages
of soil and climate, and to the natural resources and industrial op-'
portuuities offered in the State.
To these have been added :
The issuing of monthly bulletins ;
The Museum ; '
Farmers' Institutes ;
Soil Survey ;
Enforcement by regulations of
The Pure Food Law ;
Concentrated Commercial Feeding-stuff Law ;
Cotton-seed Meal Law ;
Law regulating the statistics of leaf tobacco ;
Crop-pest Commission ;
Law regulating the standard-weight packages of meal and flour ;
Registration and sale of condimental, patented, proprietary or
trade-mark stock or poultry tonics, regulators or conditioners ;
The inspection of illuminating oils and fluids ;
Law to prevent and punish the sale of adulterated, impure, or
misbranded agricultural and vegetable seed and those lacking via-
bility.
• The propagation of fish has been undertaken by the National Gov-
ernment to such an extent as to render work as to migratory fish un-
necessary by the Department. But the building of stone dams across
the rivers in the Piedmont section in many cases — notably the Ca-
Department of Agriculture.
79
lawba ;md Yaclkiu rivers — practically destroyed the inland movement
of these fish. The Department will endeavor to have investigations
made as to the practicability of restocking streams with varieties of
local kinds of native fish.
The rapid spread of the "Stock Law" over the State has rendered
unnecessary any action by the Board as to fences, as this is now
largely local. A map showing the stock law and no stock law, quar-
antine and free territory in the State has recently been issued.
The Department is, to a considerable extent, a sub-legislature. The
Legislature, in committing to its execution specified laws, confers upon
the Board power to make regulations for this purpose, which are
given the authority of law, and violation of them is made a misde-
meanor, cognizable by the courts. The power to confer this authority
has been tested in the courts and approved by decision of the Su-
preme Court. The wisdom of this action is apparent to any one giv-
ing the subject consideration. If the details were enacted by the
Legislature they could only be changed by the same authority, and
would have to remain as enacted for at least two years, no matter
how impracticable any of them might be found in execution, while
under present conditions, the Board at each session has full authority
to alter existing regulations so as to answer the condition arising.
No body of the State's officers has more important duties to per-
form, nor do more efficient work in the same length of time.

veterinary division.
The Division of VeterinaiT Science is under the direction of Dr. W.
G. Chrisman. whose services are devoted to giving information as to
the care and feeding of farm animals, improvement of live stock,
treatment of diseases, the gradual extermination of the tick, which
is the source of the deadly Texas or splenic fever.
The Veterinarian has two assistants in the Veterinary .Division
and three in Dairy Demonstration and erection of silos. Serum
for vaccination of hogs to prevent the spread of cholera is manu-
factured by this division.
anticholera serum.
Ninety-five per cent of the hogs vaccinated escaped cholera. The
Department is now prepared to supply all requests for serum, and it
is expected that the scourge of cholera will be much abated.
cattle quarantine and eradication of the fever TICK.
The United States and State laws concerning the eradication of the
cattle tick are simply improvements on the act of the Legislature of
1795 concerning the driving of cattle from the oak to the long-leaf
pine sections of the State, which was continued as a statute until the
Revisal of 1905. The disease was called murrain or distemper, and
its malignity known, but not for a century was the cause ascertained
and direct effort made for cure and eradication.
Starting in 1S99. with the crest of the Blue Ridge as the location
of the quarantine line, it has been moved east to the Roanoke River
in Warren County as the northern boundary, and to the Pee Dee in
Anson as the southern boundary of the State. This quarantine line is
established by the F. S. Agricultural Department. The movement of
cattle is restricted to a few months each year and subject to inspec-
tions and regulations, while exempted territory is free from impedi-
ments. The price of cattle in the exempted section (that which is
free of the tick) is thought to be one cent per pound live weight over
that in the quarantined sections. The value of exemption is appar-
ent. The stock law tends to destroy the tick, and where it has pre-
vailed for several years, few ticks being found, the county is soon
declared free.
Department of Agriculture. 81
At the suggestion of this Department, infected, counties or parts of
counties have been quarantined, and the clear territory has been
given the benefit of exemption.
farmers' institutes.
Mr. T. B. Parker is the director of the institutes. They have been
greatly extended under his direction and are now held in every county
in the State.
Meetings of farmers to hear matters pertaining to their vocation
discussed by scientific men and also by practical farmers have met
with great encouragement in the numbers attending and interest
shown in the proceedings, and the beneficial results to farming in the
communities where the institutes are held are very evident.
Realizing that while "A good farmer without, it is needful there
be," that "A good housewife within is as needful as he," institutes
for the benefit of the farmers' wives and daughters were introduced
in 1907. They have been well attended and have been equally as
beneficial in the advancement of agricultural conditions as have the
institutes for the men; usually one joint session is held at each
institute.
There were held in 1912, 235 regular farmers' institutes and 230
women's institutes, besides the round-up institute at the A. and M.
College. The attendance aggregated 39,368 men and 20,2GS women ;
total, 59,336.
CHEMISTRY.
]\Ir. B. W. Kilgore is in charge of the Division of Chemistry, which
makes analyses of fertilizer, cotton-seed meal, feed and foodstuffs,
soils, minerals and marls, waters, etc.
The following is the law as to deficient fertilizers (Revisal 1905,
sec. 3949) :
Sec. 3949. Sale of fertilizer 'below guaranteed quality; poicers
and duties of Commissioner; penalty for fraud. Whenever the Com-
missioner of Agriculture shall be satisfied that any fertilizer is 5 per
cent below the guaranteed value in plant food, it shall be his duty to
assess such deficiency against the manufacturer of the fertilizer and
require that twice the value of the deficiency be made good to any
person who purchases for his own use such low-grade fertilizer ; and
should any fertilizer fall 10 per cent below the guaranteed value in

plant food, it sliall be bis duty to assess tbree times tbe value of
sucb deficiency against tbe manufacturer of tbe fertilizer and require
tbe same to be paid to tbe consumer of sucb fertilizer; and tbe Com-
missioner may seize any fertilizer belonging to sucb manufacturer if
tbe deficiency sball not be paid witbin tbirty days after notice to
sucb manufacturer. If the Commissioner sball be satisfied tbat sucb
deficiency in plant food was due to tbe intention of tbe manufacturer
of tbe same to defraud, tben be sball assess and collect from tbe said
manufacturer double the amount of the deficiency which be would
have assessed and collected as hereinbefore provided, and pay the
same over to tbe consumer of sucb fertilizer. If any manufacturer
shall resist sucb collection or payment, tbe Commissioner sball imme-
diately publish the analysis and tbe facts in tbe Bulletin and in such
newspapers in tbe State as he may deem necessary.
By section 3950, it is unlawful to sell or offer for sale in this State
any fertilizer or fertilizing material which contains hair, hoof meal,
born, leather scraps or other deleterious substances not available as
food for plants, but in which such forbidden materials aid in making
up the required or guai'anteed analysis.
Mr. B. W. Kilgore also superintends experiments at the Test Farms.
SOIL SURVEY AND TEST FARMS AND FARM DEMONSTRATION WORK.
This is conducted, like tbe cattle quarantine, in conjunction with
tbe U. S. Agricultural Department, tbe expenses being defrayed by
each Department. The object is to locate the different types of soil
in tbe State. Upon these types it is desired to locate test farms for
practical and scientific purposes. Test farms have been established
in Edgecombe County, at Willard Station in Pender County, States-
ville, Blantyre in Transylvania County, near Swannanoa in Buncombe
County, and arrangements are on foot to establish one in the old
tobacco belt at Oxford and another in tbe newly drained black lands
of eastern North Carolina in Beaufort County. Tbe effort is to con-
duct these farms for the benefit of tbe crops grown in each section,
first on small plats and then on a large scale, showing results of
different kinds and amounts of home-made and commercial fertilizers,
preparation of land, cultivation and rotation of crops and demon-
stration work.

As it might be supposed that all children of the same parents
would be exactly alike, so it might be inferred that all soils coiiiposed
from decomposition of the same rocks would be identical ; but this is
known to be true in neither case.
By demonstration work on different fields in the same locality, or
type of soil, the variations of each can be ascertained, and the ma-
nures prepared and cultivation suitable learned.
The Demonstrator of the Department, as requested or as oppor-
tunity offers, can visit localities of the State, make suggestions upon
these lines, and gather statistics for promotion of the work. This
bureau of the work is under the direction of Mr. T. B. Parker, of
Wayne County, a successful, practical farmer. The Demonstrator is
the Director of Farmers' Institutes. The National Department is
doing a large amount of work along this line and there is hearty co-
operation between the two departments.
Mr. E. L. Worthen has conducted the work in Soil Investigation.
PURE FOOD DIVISION".
In charge of W. M. Allen, Food Chemist.
The Food Law was passed by the General Assembly of 1S99. It
was amended in 1905 and rwlrafted and passed as a new act in 1907.
The law forbids the manufacture or sale of adulterated or mis-
branded food or beverages and charges the Department of Agriculture
with its enforcement.
Inspections are made throughout the State and samples collected
for analyses. The samples are examined for adulteration and the
results published, showing the brand name of the article and the
name and address of the manufacturer. The first report was pub-
lished as the Department Bulletin for December, 1900. Since that
time similar reports have been published annually.
Since the law went into effect examinations have been made of
8,1(51 samples of food materials.
The number of samples examined each year and the per cent of
adulteration found were as follows :

There are two classes of adulterants found in food :
1. Substances which are deleterious to health, and
2. Substances which merely render the food less valuable.
The use of the first is prohibited ; the second can be used, provided
their presence is made known to the purchaser.
Much of the food and beverages sold in the State is in the hands
of unintelligent men, who can be imposed upon by shrewd and un-
scrupulous manufacturers. Owing to various complications the en-
forcement of the Food Law is far more difficult than one not familiar
with the situation would think.
FEED INSPECTION.
George M. MacMder, Feed Chemist, has conducted the analyses.
The Legislature of 1903 passed a law regulating the sale and adul-
teration of feeds in North Carolina. This law was amended in 1909,
and is similar to the Fertilizer Law. It has for its object that all
feeds sold in North Carolina shall be pure and unadulterated.
It requires the Commissioner of Agriculture to employ Feed Inspect-
ors, whose duty it is to visit the different towns in the State, see
that the law is complied with as to the branding of bags, weight of
bags, and to take samples of all feeds. These samples are examined
microscopically in the towns in which they are found, and if adulter-
ated are immediately withdrawn from sale.
All samples collected are analyzed by the Feed Chemist, and the
results, along with such additional information as circumstances may
advise, are published in the Bulletins of the Department of Agri-
culture.
In enforcing the law, there are four main objects in view :
1. To stop the sale of adulterated feeds in North Carolina.
Department of Agriculture. 85
2. To educate the consumers to buy feed according to the analyses
on the bags, just as he buys his fertilizer by an analysis.
3. To teach the dairymen and farmers the best way to combine
their home-grown feeds with those they are compelled to buy to get
the greatest benefit from the amount consumed.
4. To stimulate a desire on the part of the consumers for better
entomology.
The work of this Division includes the inspection of fruit trees,
which are not allowed to be sold in this State unless declared free
from disease. Experts are sent to examine all nurseries for insect
pests, and many commercial orchards are inspected. Directions are
furnished for preparation of material for spraying, and for its appli-
cation. The San Jos6 scale is being controlled in many places, and
further damage prevented by directions sent from this office. Other
insect pests and diseases have been prevented or cured, and much
valuable information given the people of the State on matters per-
taining to insects of all kinds. This Division is under the direction
of Mr. Franklin Sherman, Jr., a thorough and enthusiastic worker.
HORTICULTURE.
Mr. W. X. Hutt supervises this Division. Its work is devoted to
promoting the interests of trucking, the home and market garden,
also the culture, preservation and marketing the fruits of the State.
The test farm in Pender County is used in connection with the
trucking interests of the eastern part of the State. On this farm,
$1,500 was realized from the sale of the lettuce raised on one and
one-fourth acres of land.
The Blantyre farm in Transylvania County will be used largely to
illustrate the culture, harvesting and marketing of fruit and the
prevention and cure of diseases of fruit trees, and for demonstration
in reforestation.
Mr. Hutt has recently held in the apple section a short series of
institutes to illustrate the proper packing of fruit for shipment. In-
stitutes on pruning, spraying, etc., were held in proper season.
For three successive years the exhibit of apples from North Caro-
lina has taken the sweepstake prize at the exhibits at the National
Horticultural Congress, and the western part of the State is now re-
garded as one of the most important apple-growing sections of the
86 Administrativk Departments.
Nation, both in quantity and quality. Tlie section adjacent to South-
ern Pines is noted for its peaches, pears, and plums. Mr. S. B. Shaw-
is Assistant Horticulturist.
AGRONOMY.
J. L. Burgess is the Agronomist of the Department. Under his
direction experiments in plant breeding and selection are conducted
upon the test farms and the farms of individuals in different sections
of the State. This work is very valuable in giving information on
these subjects.
BOTANY AND SEED INSPECTION.
Miss O. I. Tillman is Botanist of the Department. The inspection
prevents the introduction of seeds of noxious weeds into the State
and enables the farmer to ascertain, before purchasing, the quality
of the seed as to purity and germination.
INSPECTION OF ILLUMINATING OILS.
Mr. Garland Jones. Jr., Oil Chemist, has charge of this work. The
quality of the oil has been kept at a good standard and the price has
not been increased. When the law was enacted there were four
tirms transacting business in this State; at the present time there
are nineteen.
THE BULLETIN.
The Bulletin is issued monthly, each month being devoted to a par-
ticular subject. Its value seems to be appreciateil both within and
without the State, as is attested by its continually increasing mailing
list, which is now nearly 30,000. an increase of 8.000 in four years.
Besides the regular monthly Bulletin, special papers are issued when
deemetl of enough importance to justify the expense.
THE MUSEUM.
The State Geologist had, since the establishment of his Department
in 1850. collected specimens of different kinds, principally of miner-
als, representing the natural resources of the State. In 1879, the
care of the Museum and expense of maintenance were transferred to
the Department of Agriculture. A building has been erected for its
occupancy, and its contents greatly increased. It is now by far
the most extepsive in its contents of anything of its nature south of
Department of Agriculture. 87
Philadelphia, save the National Museum at Washington, D. C. To
it, more than any other source, is attributable the fine displays the
State has made at International, National and State Expositions. It
is the State's object-lesson, representing its resources in agriculture,
timber, minerals, fishes, birds, game animals, and flora and fauna iu
general.
It is under the efiicient management of Mr. H. H. Brimley as Cura-
tor, who has ably filled the position for fifteen years, and added
much in value and number to the contents.
As articles affected by time become undesirable they are replaced.
The idea is to keep the Museum constantly growing, with no chance
for stagnation.
" HALL OF HISTORY.
The Hall of History, so important a feature of the great State Mu-
seum, was begun in 1903, and in the time which has intervened, a
collection of objects illustrating every period of the life of North
Carolina, as Province, Colony, and State, has been so rapid that the
number of objects considerably exceeds 5,000. The collection is par-
ticularly rich in objects of the Colonial and Revolutionary periods
and that of the Civil War. The Director has made several journeys
in the State, all resulting in marked additions to the collection. The
gifts, in the way of paintings, photographs, etc., already exceed
,$1,500 in value. Many lectures have been delivered each year in the
Hall of History, and this object-lesson, the finest in the South, has
proved a great stimulus to historical research and popular interest
in the history of North Carolina. The collection has been made by
and is in charge of Col. F. A. Olds, as Director, and the objects
therein are either gifts or loans. Any persons having possession of,
or knowing of the location of objects which have a bearing upon
North Carolina history in any way, are particularly requested to in-
form the Director of this fact, as objects are thoroughly protected
against injury by moths or other insects and are set before the pul>-
lic in the most attractive way.
IMMIGRATION.
In charge of Elias Carr, Secretary of the Board of Agriculture.
The Legislature in 1909 repealed the act of 1907 concerning immi-
gration. There are now no agents of the State employed iu foreign
countries ; a few young men come from Scotland each year, and

Administrative Departments.
laud aiid immigration companies bring some people to tlie State each
year, but no report is made to the Department ; however, it cooper-
ates with them as far as practicable.
The Department has no lands of the State for sale, and can make
no contracts, warrant titles, or do any work of like nature. It can
only put parties desiring to purchase property in the State in commu-
nication with citizens who have property to sell, and leave them to
perfect sales, if it is found desirable.
Many letters are received from persons from the States of the
Middle West requesting information as to the resources of the State,
and several hundred have each year purchased homes. The Depart-
ment had arranged to place exhibits at the fairs in these States, but
this was abandoned when the law was repealed.
SALES OF LEAF TOBACCO.
Chapter 97, Laws 1907, requires the Department to preserve a rec-
ord of the leaf tobacco sold on the floors of the warehouses of the
State, and publish it monthly. Each warehouse is required to furnish
an account of its sales, and is guilty of a misdemeanor for failure.
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND PRINTING.
M. L. Shipman, Commissioner.
The Department of Labor and Printing was established by the
Legislature of 1887 as the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Under this
head its activities had to do with gathering and presenting statistics
of industrial conditions. A high standard was set for this work, and
it has ever since been the policy of the office to improve upon its own
work from year to year. The annual report is now recognized as
one of the most succinct examples of statistical work issued in the
United States. The matter has been boiled down, so to speak, and
one chief aim has been to present the greatest possible information
in the least possible space, accomplishing thereby two very desirable
ends, i. c, ease of reference and convenience, and a minimum ex-
pense. Its circulation includes every State in the Union, and many
foreign countries. The report is the chief medium by which the
State's growth and progress is placed before the world. The number
of requests for copies attests its worth.
Department of Labor and Printing. 89
When the public printing had become of such importance that the
old practice of assumption that it would take care of itself was proven
inadequate and unsatisfactory, the duty of systematizing and super-
intending this work was added to the duties of the office. (Chapter
373, Public Laws of 1S99.) Since that time the growth of the State
has been great, its progress indeed wonderful. Keeping pace with this
progress, the Department of Labor and Printing shows a record of
quality and economy in performance not touched by any other Com-
monwealth, and approached by but few.
The Commissioner, Mr. Shipman, and the assistant, Mr. Justice,
place especial emphasis on their invitation to the people of the State
to make use of the Department. Any questions bearing on subjects
touched by the report will be gladly answered, wherever possible;
correspondence cheerfully and promptly attended to.
The following quotation from the Manual of 1911 still holds :
"The handling of the public printing has been brought down to the
point where figures as to specifications and cost may be given before
or after performance, which information serves well where economy
enters as largely into any proposition as it does iuto the public print-
ing. Changes in practice are made as often as it is found that
improvement can be made, and the policy of the office at the present
time makes impossible any of the abuses obtaining under the arrange-
ment in force prior to the placing of the public printing under the
Department's charge.
"Before a single item of printing expense is paid for by the State,
the account of the printer is examined, accompanied by an inspection
of the work itself, by a man who himself knows the printing business.
Every pound of paper purchased is bought by the State to fit the
pax-ticular need, and is subject to the decision of the expert of the
Department — himself, according to the provisions of the act, a 'prac-
tical printer.' The records of purchases of paper show a great sav-
ing along this line also.
"The work of the Department of Labor and Printing is necessarily
done away from the public eye. The watchful auditing of thousands
of dollars of accounts, the economical purchase of thousands of
dollars of supplies, the skillful exposition and appraisement of indus-
trial facts is not spectacular labor, but a work of the highest value
and largest returns."

Administrative Departments,
THE DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE.
James R. Young, Commissioner.
Prior to 1899 the supervision of insurance companies of North Caro-
lina was in the hands of the Secretary of State, who received certain
fees and was allowed $1,000 for clerical help. The Legislature of
1899 created the Insurance Department and placed the present Com-
missioner in charge of it. The insurance laws as set forth in the
Revisal of 1905, with amendments thereto, are looked upon as the
best code of insurance laws of any Southern State and are certainly
admirably adapted to the conditions prevailing in this section. As
revenue producers the law and Department are a success, and while
the benefits accruing from a proper supervision of insurance com-
panies in the State cannot be measureil in dollars and cents, they are,
in the opinion of those in a position to know, of much more value to
the State and her citizens than the revenue collected.
The duties required of the Insurance Commissioner are as impor-
tant and involve as much work and responsibility as those of any
other department in the State Government. In addition to this, the
Insurance Commissioner is taken from his office about one-third of
the time by official duties. The work of the Department calls for as
much clerical ability and labor as the work of any other department.
No part of the work should be neglected, and it is increasing every
year, and becomes of more and more value to the State and her citi-
zens. The efficiency of the Department can only be kept up by allow-
ing sufficient clerical force, and this will call for such help as is com-
mensurate with, and demanded by, the development and rapid in-
crease of the work of the Department. The Commissioner should be
relieved, as far as possible, of clerical work. He is worth more to
the State in discharging the other duties of his office.
Under the law it is made the duty of the Commissioner to collect
all licenses, taxes and fees due the State by any company or associa-
tion under the supervision of his Department.
The Secretary of State paid into the State Treasury in 1S9S, .$84,-
879.28, and this was the largest amount ever reported for any one
year prior to the creation of the Department.
Insurance Department. 91
The amounts collected since by the Insurance Commissioner and
paid into the State Treasury are :
For year 1899 $ 92,865.21
For year 1900 91,077.92
For year 1901 132,034.03
For year 1902 153,667.12
For year 1903 174,633.60
For year 1904 197,402.28
For year 1905 205,124.07
For year 1906 215,330.89
For year 1907 .• 1 224,680.23
For year 1908 234,469.63
For year 1909 246,566.89
For year 1910 270,300.08
For year 1911 285,040.50
Total $2,523,192.45
The above figures do not include the special amounts collected from
insurance companies for the publication of their statements and the
investigation of fires. These are special funds, and are collected and
must be used only for the special objects named. The investigation
of incendiary fires in the State is paid out of a fund collected of the
fire insurance companies and does not cost the State one cent.
The Commissioner is paid a salary of $3,500 per annum and
allowed $6,900 for clerical help, which can only be used for this pur-
pose. During seven years of the Department the Commissioner
collected and paid to the State Treasurer, of the class of fees for-
merly allowed the Secretary of State for his services in this behalf,
as follows :
For year 1899 $ 9,184.00
Foryear 1900 5,731.50
For year 1901 10,732.50
For vear 1902 11,168.50
For year 1903 13,240.00
For year 1904 16,476.50
For year 1905 16,750.50
Total $83,283.50
The salary of the Commissioner during these years was $2,000 per
annum. So it will be seen that, taking off the salary allowed the
Commissioner for seven years, there is left a balance of $69,288.50

saved to the State out of the class of fees formerly allowed the Sec-
retary of State as his salary for looking after insurance companies.
The Legislature of 1907, seeing the necessity of additional clerical
force to do the increased work in the Department, increased the force
by adding an actuary, a bookkeeper and a license clerk, and placed
all the clerks in the Department upon a salary. These salaries
amount to $6,900 annually. The same class of fees referred to above
amounted in the year 190(3 to $18,006.80; in 1907 to $19,166.60; in
1908 to $23,493.90 ; in 1909 to $2.5,322.32, making a total of $85,989.02,
showing, after taking ofE the salary of the Commissioner, even with
the increase of the number of employees made necessary by the
growth of the Department, that the amount of fees collected as above
and paid into the State Treasury amount to about four times as
much as these salaries in the Department. The collections for the
same class of fees for 1910 and 1911 show an increase and make an
even greater ratio of comparison. The money now collected and paid
into the State Treasury of this class of fees amounts annually to over
twice the whole cost of the Department.
One great benefit that has accrued from the North Carolina insur-
ance laws and the work of the Department has been the organization
of home insurance companies and the placing of considerable insur-
ance in them, thus keeping at home much of home money spent for
insurance.
In 1899 there were only six home fire companies doing business in
the State. They wrote only 10 per cent of the risks and received
$123,471.26, or 12 per cent of the premiums, while in 1909 there were
20 home companies which wrote $142,584,653.64 of the fire risks, and
received therefor $2,326,675.02. It further appears that our home
companies in 1909 not only received 22^5 per cent— over one-fifth— of
all fire premiums for insurance written in the State, but received as
premiums for insurance on property outside of the State $1,460,910.30.
In 1899 there was only one home life insurance company (and that
an assessment one) doing business in North Carolina, with $479.35 in
assets. In 1909 there were, including assessment, twenty-five home
life companies. The five legal reserve companies reported in assets
$3,342,918.56. The reports of the five North Carolina home legal
reserve life companies show as their receipts during 1909, $1,532,388.59,
and as risks at the end of the year in insurance $36,117,030.
Insubance Department. 93
The North Carolina or home companies continue to show marked
improvement each year, not only in the amount of business transacted,
but in a steady and solid growth in financial ability and safety. It is
gratifying, or should be, to every citizen of the State to know that he
can not only keep his money in the State for investment by patronizing
home companies, but that he is fully protected by the financial stand-
ing of the companies in so doing.
It is worthy of note that while there have been startling disclosures
as to contributions by life insurance companies to political campaign
funds and other graft or fraud, none has been perpetrated by the life
companies domiciled in North Carolina. The insurance conditions in
the State are very gratifying, and promise much in the future in
aiding the industrial progress and upbuilding of the State.
The Legislature of 1905 placed all building and loan associations
under the supervision of the Insurance Commissioner. There were
then forty-three associations doing business in the State. There are
now over 115 associations working in the State and no class of corpo-
rations is doing more in building up our cities and towns and provid-
ing homes for our citizens, especially the working classes. Associa-
tions are being organized rapidly throughout the State. The owner-
ship of homes is very conducive to good citizenship and progress. At
the close of business in 1911 one hundred associations reported in
assets $8,457,559.39, and as loaned out to build or pay for homes
$8,084,441.31.
The Insurance Commissioner represents the State in all its deal-
ings with insurance companies, associations and orders. He must
pass upou applications of companies under his Department and decide
whether to license them, and then supervise them and see that they
comply with the law and treat the citizens of the State right or
revoke their license to do business in the State.
He must collect all licenses and taxes due the State by companies
and associations under his Department.
He must collect reports of all fires in the State and investigate all
suspicious ones and have all persons suspected of incendiarism prose-
cuted where the evidence justifies it. One hundred and thirty-four
persons have been convicted under this law since it was passed, and
served their sentences in prisons.
He must see that the laws regulating the erection and inspection
of buildings are observed. Better buildings mean fewer fires and
94 Administrativk Departments.
lower fire insurance rates. Seventy-five thousand dollars annually
is now saved in fire premiums by this law. He must look into all
violations of the insurance law and hear all complaints made by the
citizens of the State against companies under his supervision and see
that the citizen is protected in his rights.
He must Iveep all State property insured as provided by law, and
annually inspect all State institutions and buildings, with a view to
the protection from fire of them and their inmates.
Since the formation of this Department in 1899 and the adoption
of the present insurance laws there has been a gradual but decided
improvement in the insurance conditions of the State. Better prac-
tices prevail and there is less friction between the people and this
class of corporations. Contracts have been improved and rates re-
duced, and will, no doubt, be still further reduced under the present
insurance laws and their strict enforcement, although the citizens of
the State are now paying over $225,000 annually for their fire insur-
ance less than the.v would pay at the rates prevailing in any other
Southern State.
The Insurance Department has never had since its fox'mation per-
manent or adequate quarters in which to transact its rapidly increas-
ing business. This has always hampered the Commissioner and his
force in carrying on the work, and should have been remedied before.
The large business being yearly transacted demands proper and ade-
quate files, that the business may be elficiently done, while the value
and importance of the Department records and statistics are such as
to demand their safe-keeping and filing for ready reference by the
Department and citizens of the State.
Any further information about the Department will be furnished
upon application to the Commissioner.
THE NORTH CAROLINA HISTORICAL COMMISSION.
R. D. W. Connor, Secretary, BalcUjh, ~S. C.
The North Carolina Historical Commission was created b.v an act
of the Legislature of 1903. It consists of five members appointed by
the Governor for terms of six years. They receive no salary, or per
diem, but are allowed their actual expenses when attending to their
official duties.
Historical Commission. 95
The offices of the Commission are iii the State Administratiou
Building, a new fire-proof structure erected under an act of the Gen-
eral Assembly of 1911.
The duties of the Commission are as follows :
1. To have collected from the files of old newspapers, court records,
church records, private collections and elsewhere, historical data per-
taining to the history of North Carolina and the territory included
therein from the earliest times.
2. To have such material properly edited, published by the State
Printer as other State printing, and distributed under the direction
of the Commission.
3. To care for the pi-oper marking and preservation of battle-fields,
houses, and other places celebrated in the history of the State.
4. To diffuse knowledge in reference to the history and resources
of Nortli Carolina.
5. To encourage the study of the history of North Carolina in the
schools of the State, and to stiinulate and encourage historical investi-
gation and research among the people of the State.
6. To make a biennial report of its receipts and disbursements, its
work and needs, to the Governor, to be by him transmitted to the
General Assembly.
The powers of the Commission are as follows :
1. To adopt a seal for use in official business.
2. To adopt rules for its own government not inconsistent with the
provisions of the law.
3. To fix a reasonable price for its publications and to devote the
revenue arising from such sales to extending the work of the Com-
mission.
4. To employ a secretary.
5. To control the expenditure of such funds as may be appropriated
for its maintenance.
GENERAI, SUMMARY.
Following is a general summary of the work of the Historical Com-
mission :
1. The Commission has saved from destruction, classified and filed
14,754 letters and other documents of the Executive Department,
from the administration of Governor Caswell. 1777, to that of Gov-
ernor Vance. 1870.
96 Administrative Departments.
2. It Ijas secured for the State the following private collections,
numbering many thousands of valuable manuscripts: letters and
papers of Gov. Zebulou B. Vance, Judge James Iredell, Gen. Bryan
Grimes. Mrs. Cornelia P. Spencer, Gov. David L. Swain, Editor E. J.
Hale, Dr. Calvin H. Wiley, Hon. John H. Bryan, Gov. Jonathan
Worth, Col. William L. Saunders, Gov. William A. Graham, the Petti-
grew family, Gov. Charles B. Aycock, Judge Archibald D. Murphey,
and several smaller collections.
3. It has issued the following publications : "Public Education in
North Carolina, 1790-1840: A Documentary History," 2 vols.; "The
Correspondence of Jonathan Worth," 2 vols ; "Literary and Historical
Activities in North Carolina, 1900-1905" ; "A Legislative Manual of
North Carolina" for 1909, 1911, and 1913, and thirteen bulletins.
4. It recovered for the State, through the gift of the Italian Gov-
ernment, Canova's famous statue of Washington.
5. It has erected in the rotunda of the capitol a marble bust of
William A. Graham ; and obtained, without cost to the State, similar
busts of Matt. W. Ransom, Samuel Johnston, and John M. More-
head.
It has assisted a large number of students in their investigations
into North Carolina history, and gave information about the history
of the State wherever it was possible, and has encouraged in many
ways the study of our history in the schools of the State.

THE STATE LIBRARY OF NORTH CAROLINA.
Miles O. Sherrill, Librarian.
The State Library has become an agency of great importance in the
educational development of North Carolina. The educational move-
ment of recent years has awakened great interest in library work,
and our people realize now more forcibly than ever before the value
of this work. The patronage of the State Library by students in our
schools and colleges and by the general public within the past two
years has shown a marked growth and an increasing realization of the
place of the Library in educational work. Not a day passes that
students are not found in the Library, at work investigating various
subjects connected with the history, industries, and general life of
North Carolina, or with the great problems of the Nation, and of the
world. This patronage is not confined to any particular school or race.
It comes from the schools and colleges of Raleigh, of the State at
large, from universities such as Johns Hopkins, Columbia, Harvard,
and from students who are not connected with educational institu-
tions at all. The practical politician studying modern problems
comes along with the historian whose researches are among records
centuries old.
To meet all these various needs, the Trustees are directing their
efforts to the building up of a great reference library. No works of
fiction, unless they be by North Carolina authors, or portray North
Carolina life, are purchased. The meager appropriation is better ex-
pended, in the judgment of the Trustees, in the purchase of works
of reference, history, biographies, treatises on problems of modern
life, etc., etc.
All works written by or about North Carolinians, or about North
Carolina, are purchased. The North Carolina collection now -forms
one of the most interesting and valuable features of the Library.
Another peculiarly valuable feature of the Library is the collection
of bound newspapers. This now contains 2,535 volumes. There is
no other such collection of North Carolina newspapers in existence.
Ranging in unbroken files from 1791 to date, they contain the history
of the State during the most important periods of her existence.

LIBRARY COMMISSION OF NORTH CAROLINA.
Minnie W. Leathebman, Secretary.
The Library Commission of North Carolina was created by the Gen-
eral Assembly of 1909, and active work was begun September 15th of
the same year. The Commission consists of five members, two of
whom are appointed by the North Carolina Library Association and
one bj^ the Governor ; the State Librarian and the Superintendent of
Public Instruction complete the membership.
The purpose of the Commission, as expressed in the law, is to "give
assistance, advice, and counsel to all libraries in the State, to all com-
munities which may propose to establish libraries, and to all persons
interested, as to the best means of establishing and administering such
libraries, as to the selection of books, cataloguing, maintenance, and
other details of library management as may be practicable."
The following are the important lines of activity :
1. Establishmeut of PiiNic Libraries. The Commission endeavors
to secure the establishment of public libraries in localities able to
support them, and gives advice and assistance in arousing public
interest. After preliminary correspondence, communities proposing
to establish libraries are visited by the secretary, and the practical
details of organization explained. In many instances she classifies
the books, starts the aetfession record and shelf-list, installs a proper
charging system, and teaches the librarian how to keep the necessary
records. The service is rendered without cost to the libi'ary, except
that, when the secretary remains more than one day in a place, the
local expense is borne by the library aided.
2. Reorganization of Old Libraries. The secretary visits libraries
already established to confer with the librarian and library board
regarding methods of work and plans for further development.
When necessary, libraries are reorganized according to modern
methods which insure best results and greatest efficiency. While
much information and advice may be given by letters and circulars,
personal visits are much more effective, as they invariably give new
impulse to the local work and enable the secretary to become familiar
with library conditions in all parts of the State.
3. Library Statistics. Every public library in the State, including
free public libraries, subscription libraries, school, college and uni-
versity libraries. Young Men's Christian Association, legal associa-
«
LiBRAEY Commission. 99
tion, medical association, Supreme Court and State libraries, is re-
quired by law to make an annual report to the Commission. From
the data thus secured the Commission compiles an annual report of
library conditions in North Carolina.
4. The North Carolina Library Bulletin. This is a pamphlet of
12 pages, published quarterly. It is sent free to every library in the
State, and, upon application, to library trustees and to others inter-
ested in library extension. The first issue appeared in December,
1909. Each number contains important library articles, book lists,
editorial notes, and general library news. It is intended to serve as a
means of communication with each and every library, to bring the
libraries into closer relation with one another, and, in general, to
increase the interest in libraries throughout the State, and to improve
the quality of their service to the public.
5. Debate and Study Club Libraries. In response to requests from
high schools and debating societies, a number of debate libraries have
been prepared and are loaned without charge except for transporta-
tion. A circular has been issued giving lists of questions upon which
material is available and the rules governing the loan of libraries.
These debate libraries contain books, magazine articles, copies of
debates in Congress, laws, pamphlets issued by societies, briefs, and
bibliographies.
Study club libraries ai-e of a similar nature, but were equipped
from funds provided by the Library Extension Department of the
North Carolina Federation of Women's Clubs.
6. Instruction. In addition to the instruction given in the Commis-
sion's office and on personal visits, the chairman of the Commission
gives a course in library methods as a regular department of the Sum-
mer School of the State University. The course is intended for
teachers in charge of school libraries. During the summer of 1911 a
library school was held in Raleigh to which only persons already
holding library positions were admitted. The course will be given
again whenever there is a sufficient demand for it.
7. State Reports. The Commission has established a clearing house
for State reports. Until this was done there was no center to which
surplus reports of the various State officers could be sent and to
which request from students both within and without the State could
be referred. This work has not been very successful because of the
failure of many of the departments to deposit reports.

8. Distribution of Library Literature. In addition to the North
Carolina Lihrari/ Bulletin, the following publications have been issued
and distributed by the Commission :
The Public Library ;
Traveling Libraries; ,
Debating : list of books for libraries, high schools, and debating
societies ;
Free Debate Libraries for 1912-1913.
Other library literature, including tracts of the American Library
Association, book lists, building plans, etc., is sent out as required.
9. School Libraries. The development of school libraries is a spe-
cial feature of the work. A close connection has been established
with the schools by giving advice on the care and use of school libra-
ries, assistance in starting the necessary records, and help in the
selection and purchase of books. A bulletin on school libraries, pre-
pared by the secretary, has been published and distributed by the
Superintendent of Public Instruction to all schools in the State.
Other literature on the subject is distributed by the Commission,
and talks are given at teachers' meetings to arouse the interest of
superintendents and teachers in building up good school libraries. A
special effort is made to bring the public schools and the public
libraries into close cooperation.

THE STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.
W. S. Rankin, Secretary ami Treasurer, Raleigh, N. C.
The personnel of the State Board of Health consists of nine mem-
bers ; of these, five are appointed by the Governor and four are elected
by the State Medical Society. Members of the Board serve six years.
The appointment and election of members, as authorized in the origi-
nal act, is such that not more than four are elected and appointed
during any biennial period.
State Board of Health. . 101
THE board S WORKING CAPITAL.
If we include the $4,000 collected from water taxes, with $22,500
appropriated from the State Treasury for the use of the Board, as a
part of the State's appropriation, we find that the total annual income
of the State Board of Health amounts to $26,500.
HOW IT IS USED.
Item No. 1. — The State Laboratory of Hygiene examines annually
2,250 specimens microscopically. The specimens consist of particles
of expectoration from suspected consumptives, mucus from the throats
of suspected diphtheria patients, blood from suspected malaria pa-
tients, blood from those suspected of having typhoid fever, and pus or
matter from discharging membranes. A minimum cost of 2,250
microscopic examinations would be $3,500. One may consider this
$3,500 as one dividend paid by the State Board of Health to the people
of the State on the $26,500 intrusted to the Board. •
Item No. 2. — Last year 2,500 samples of drinking-water were ana-
lyzed by the State Laboratory of Hygiene. The cost of an analysis of
drinking-water varies from $5 to $10 in different laboratories. It
would have cost the people of this State at least $12,500 to have had
the samples of water analyzed at the minimum fee of $5 an analysis.
The State Laboratory of Hygiene made these analyses for a total cost
of $4,500, saving thereby $S,000 to the State. This is the second
dividend which the State Board of Health pays upon the public's
investment of $26,500 a year.
Item No. 3.— Last year 195 patients bitten by rabid animals were
given the Pasteur treatment at the Laboratory of Hygiene. The
eflftcacy of the treatment administered by our Laboratory may be
judged from the fact that the average Pasteur Laboratory loses the
life of one patient out of every 250 treated, while our Laboratory has
treated over 500 patients without a single death. The minimum cost
for which these people threatened with hydrophobia may obtain the
treatment elsewhere is $65 a patient. It would have cost the 195
patients, at this figure, $12,675 to have been treated. As a matter
of fact the State charged them only $600, thereby effecting a saving
to the people of the State of $12,025. This is the third dividend re-
turned to the people of the State by the State Board of Health on
their investment of $26,500.

Item Xo. Jf. — The General Assembly of 1911 gave the State Board
of Health authority to contract with the manufacturers of reliable
diphtheria antitoxin for a State supply of antitoxhi, to be purchased
from the lowest bidder, and to be distributed to the people through the
State Laboratory of Hygiene and through antitoxin distributing sta-
tions in the counties, at just what it cost the State to buy it. We may
say right here that the quality of all antitoxin is guaranteed by the
United States Government. Antitoxin is sold in packages which are
graded according to the number of units of potency per package into
packages of 1,000, 3,000, and 5,000 units. The prices of these pack-
ages of antitoxin, before this arrangement on the part of the State
was made, were as follows :
1,000 units $2.00
3,000 units 5.00
5,000 units 7.50
Under the present arrangement the same antitoxin can be pur-
chased anywhere in North Carolina at the following prices :
1,000 units $0.50
3,000 units 1.35
5,000 units 1.95
The following table shows the amount of antitoxin distributed and
the saving to the State for the first eight months of the operation of
this new law, that is, until June 1, 1912, since which time we have not
looked up the records :

As a matter of fact, this law is saving the State nearer $40,000 a
year than $18,514.08, for just as soon as the State supply of antitoxin
was available at these lower rates practically all antitoxin manufac-
State Board of Health. 103
turers reduced their product to about the same figure, so that the pur-
chaser does not always get the State supply, but buys the antitoxin of
other manufacturers, on which he gets practically the same reduction
in price as he would in buying the State antitoxin. There is probably
as much antitoxin sold by other manufacturers in North Carolina as is
distributed by the State. This would bring the saving on this one item
to somewhere in the neighborhood of $40,000 a year, but to be con-
sistently overconservative in computing all of these items of economy,
let us put down just $18,514.08 as a fourth dividend paid by the State
Board of Health to the people on their investment of $26,500,
Item No. 5. — The State Board of Health was instrumental in secur-
ing from the General Assembly of 1911 a new law for the control of
smallpox. A blank form sent out to the county superintendents of
health, filled out and returned to this office, where the data which had
been called for were compiled, shows: That for the five years pre-
vious to the operation of the new law there was an average annual
number of 7,500 cases of smallpox in the State, and that the total
cost to the State of handling the disease averaged $66,000 a year ; that
for the first year's operation of the new law (and it has been in force
but a little over a year) there were 3,300 cases of smallpox in the
State and the total cost was $2,600. This $2,600, deducted from the
$66,000, leaves an annual saving of $63,400, which makes the fifth
dividend the State Board of Health pays on the $26,500 turned
over to it.
The five items above enumerated and considered amount to an
annual saving of $125,439.08 on an investment in the State's health
work of only $26,500. Health work appears to be good business, and
these figures bear out the saying of Emerson that "The first wealth
is health."
There are other items saved to the State which space will not per-
mit us to discuss. We shall content ourselves with mentioning only
one more, viz., the saving to the municipalities of North Carolina by
the law requiring plans and specifications for proposed public water
supplies and sewerage systems to be submitted, examined, and ap-
proved by the State Board of Health before being adopted by the town
or city. The towns and cities have by this law been safeguarded
against the work of cheap engineers and contractors and against
spending their money in building waterworks or sewerage systems of

little value. We know of one town tluit constructed a public water
supply before this law was in operation, the plans of which never
have been approved by the State Board of Health, and after com-
pleting the waterworks found that their plant was valueless and that
they had lost something like $15,000 in the venture.
THE GREAT WORK OF THE STATE BOARD OF HEALTH,
its chief end, is not the saving of dollars, but the saving of lives. The
real ledger of a state board of health is kept not in dollars and cents,
but in death rates. While we take great pride in the economic show-
ing set forth in the preceding figures, be it far from us to leave even
the suggestion that our conception of a board of health is an economic
institution.
The real test of the value of a state board of health is shown by its
influence on the State's death rate — either a reduction of a death rate
higher than the average State death rate or in the maintenance of an
average or lower than the average State death rate. Unfortunately,
there is no State law (and this is the great need of the health work in
North Carolina) requiring the registration of deaths. There is a law
requiring the registration of deaths for one-sixth of the population of
the State that has been in force only two years, and that carries with
it insufficient appropriation to permit of its enforcement to a degree of
completeness that will permit rigid conclusions based upon the deaths
registered during the last two years. We believe that if we had had a
registration law thoroughly enforced in this State for the past three
years, we would be able to show a reduction in the death rate from
which we could estimate exactly the number of lives saved and the
number of days of sickness prevented. And we believe further that in
that showing the State Board of Health would most impress our
people with its value.
Provisions for facilitating quick and accurate diagnoses through the
microscopic examinations of specimens submitted to State experts,
close supervision of public water supplies and the safeguarding of
the people by a monthly analysis of all public water supplies against
drinking polluted water, the more easily obtainable Pasteur treatment
and diphtheria antitoxin, all operate in their more important spheres
of action, not to save money, but to make prevention and treatment
quicker and more effective and death rates lower.
State Board op Health. 105.
But effective as these provisions must have been in reducing death
rates, the most valuable work of the Board in saving life has been the
instruction of all the people through press, special literature, and sani-
tary addresses as to the causes of the more important preventable
diseases and the way to avoid them. The past year the State Board
of Health has issued 40,000 regular bulletins monthly, carrying this
life-saving information to 200,000 people, or about one white family
out of seven. During this same time the State Board of Health has,
through the kind and valuable cooperation of the press of the State,
published 270 miles of columns of newspaper health matter. Through
the Rockefeller Commission the State Board of Health has paid for
the treatment of something like 12,000 people infested with hook-
worms, and practically all the representative people of North Caro-
lina have been reached through sanitary addresses to the various
organizations in the State.

BOARD OF PUBLIC CHARITIES OF NORTH CAROLINA.
' Miss Daisy Denson, Secretary, Raleigh.
State Constitution, Article XI, sec. 7 : "Beneficent provision for the
poor, unfortunate and orphan being one of the first duties of a civil-
ized and Christian State, the General Assembly shall, at its first
session, appoint and define the duties of a Board of Public Charities,
to whom shall be intrusted the supervision of all charitable and penal
institutions, and who shall annually report to the Governor upon
their condition, with suggestions for their improvement."
Sec. 3916, Revisal of 1905: "This Board shall, besides their own
observation, avail themselves of correspondence and exchange of facts
of the labors of others in these departments, and thus be able to
afford the General Assembly data to guide them in future legislation
for the amelioration of the condition of the people, as well as to con-
tribute to enlighten public opinion and direct it to interests so vital
to the prosperity of the State."
It has the right to inspect and report upon the management of
State charitable and penal institutions, including access to all por-
tions of the premises, and the right to examine all books and papers ;
to visit and inspect county and municipal institutions, jails, camps,
and Homes in the same manner and to the same extent as the State
institutions. It must visit, inspect and issue license to private hos-
pitals established for the care of insane, inebriates, and feeble-minded,
and can prescribe rules and regulations for licensed hospitals. It has
the right to require reports from officials in charge of all public
charitable and penal institutions, both State and county.
The inspections of the State institutions are made personally by the
members of the Board. Local boards of visitors (volunteer workers)
have been organizetl in the counties by the Board, who inspect the
county institutions and make semiannual reports. These local boards
cannot be too highly praised for the noble work which they have
accomplished in many of the counties, bettering the condition of the
unfortunates.
Printed circulars indicating the information desired are mailed to
all boards of county commissioners annually, and to boards of
visitors semiannually. Questions are sent to all State institutions
aimually and to licensed private hospitals twice a year. Also,

through courtesy, the private orphanages, hospitals aud miscella-
ueous charitable bodies of the State report upon blanks sent out
from the office of the Board.
An annual report Is made to the Governor, and a biennial report,
which the Board "shall print," is made to the General Assembly.
These reports contain in detail the proceedings of this Board, the
reports of the institutions, and recommendations for changes or
improvements. In addition, the Secretary makes a monthly report
to the Chairman, and a quarterly report to the Board at their regular
meetings.
It is charged with the duty of collecting, collating, and publishing
such facts as may conduce to a correct judgment of the needs of the
several institutions.
Another important duty is "to avail themselves of correspondence
and exchange of facts of the labors of others in these departments."
With this end in view, a systematic exchange of reports with other
States and countries has been maintained. The library of philan-
thropic books and pamphlets, numbering over 2,000, has not cost the
State a cent.
For the same reason members of the Board and the Secretary have
affiliated with the National Conference of Charities and Correction,
the American Prison Association, and the Southern Sociological Con-
gress, and from time to time attended the meetings of these notable
bodies at their own expense. Also, without expense to the State,
the Secretary has attended a session of the School of Philanthropy
of New York, the meeting of the International Prison Congress at
Washington, and has visited the institutions of a number of other
States.
The Governor annually appoints delegates to the National Confer-
ence of Charities and Corrections and to the American Prison Asso-
ciation and other and similar organizations. Reports and proceed-
ings of these and other National bodies are collected for reference.
The Board of Public Charities is an advisory board ; it is nonparti-
san, and its members receive no compensation. It is untrammeled
and free to call the attention of those officials who have executive
duties to perform in institutions or who are legally over them to any
lack of proper care of the inmates. The Board represents primarily
the inmate and the general public. It investigates complaints, and
if necessary calls upon judges and solicitors to prosecute.
JOS Administbative Departments.
The policy of the Board has been not to criticise unless it can offer
something better, some ideal towards which we may strive, which
has been tried and found successful elsewhere. These ideals are
embodied in the recommendations and suggestions which are made in
each annual report, as the law requires. Constructive philanthropy
must be the foundation-stone for the proper development of our
charitable and penal systems.
The influence of the Board is seen in the gradually improved condi-
tion of the county homes and jails, new buildings for these classes
having been erected in manj- counties ; in the separation of white and
black prisoners in the camps ; the enforcement of the laws requiring
proper apartments in the jails, and the separation of tuberculous pris-
oners from others, and the increased accommodations for the insane.
Also its influence has been exerted in behalf of the several new State
institutions which have been established since its organization, viz.,
the School for the White Deaf at Morgantou ; the Dangerous Insane
Department; the Jackson Training School; the Soldiers' Home; the
School for the Feeble-minded ; the Epileptic Colony, and the Tuber-
culosis Sanatorium. The Board has taken an active part in secur-
ing the establishment of all except the Sanatorium, and has aided
their subsequent growth. The State's record of the development of
her charities is one to be proud of, and there is no reason why her
penal institutions and care of all her prisoners should not be properly
systematized so that we may feel an equal pride in the State's policy
towards them. She has been one of the first States to recognize the
benefit of outdoor work for prisoners and to put it into practice.
The reports of the institutions, pay-rolls, and the census of the in-
sane are on file in the office of the Board in the Capitol, and are open
to the inspection of. the members of the Assembly, who are cordially
invited to visit the ofiice and make use of the data gathered there for
this purpose.

GEOUX3ICAL AND ECONOMIC SURVEY. 109
NORTH CAROLINA GEOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC SURVEY.
Joseph Hyde Pratt, State Geologist.
The act establishing the North Carolina Geological and Economic
Survey was passed by the Legislature of 1905, and outlines in detail
the phases of work to be carried out by this Department as follows :
(1) The examination of the mineral, forest, fishery, and other
resources of the State.
(2) The examination of the geological formations of the State
with reference to their economic products.
(3) The examination of the road-building materials and the best
methods of utilizing same.*
(4) The examination and classification of the soils and forests
and other physical features of the State, with special reference to
their bearing upon the occupation of the people.
(5) The examination of the streams and water-powers of the
State, with special reference to their development in manufacturing
enterprises and the preservation of the sources of these streams
through the protection of the forests.
(6) The examination of the water supplies of the State, with
special reference to sinking deep artesian wells.
(7) The preparation of reports regarding these investigations.
As will be seen from the above outline, the work of this Depart-
ment is varied and extensive, and in many respects touches the
diverse interests of every section of North Carolina, with their varied
climatic and topographical conditions.
To carry on all the lines of work outlined as being the objects
of the Geological Survey at one time would be an impossibility with
*This is supplemented by an act passed by the Legislature of 1909, which made a small
appropriation of $5,000 annually to be used by the Highway Division of the North Carolina
Geological and Economic Survey as follows: "The object and purpose of this appropriation
shall be to enable the North Carolina Geological Board to advise with the township and
county authorities in the building and improvement of the public roads, by sending to the
township or county a competent road engineer who will assist them in locating their im-
proved roads, advising them as to best road to build and how to build it, and also give
advice relating to the best kind of bridge to be built in connection with the improvement
of any road. The Geological Board, through the State Geologist, may make inquiries in re-
gard to systems of road building and management throughout the United States, and make
investigations and experiments in regard to the best methods of road making and the best
kinds of road material, and shall disseminate such knowledge by lectures to be given in the
different counties, and by preparing, publishing, and distributing bulletins and reports on
the subject of road improvement, and shall also gather and tabulate information and statis-
tics on road building in North Carolina and disseminating the same throughout the State."

the present small auiiual appropriation allotted for doing this work;
but the State Geologist, with the advice and consent of the Geological
Board, undertakes and carries out such of these investigations as
seem to be most urgent and as can be accomplished with the said
appropriation, supplemented by the heartiest cooperation on the
part of the various Federal bureaus, such as the United States Office
of Public Roads, the United States Geological Survey, the United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey, the Unitetl States Forest Service,
the National Association of Audubon Societies, and the various
State associations, such as the North Carolina Good Roads Associa-
tion, the North Carolina Drainage Association, the North Carolina
Forestry Association, and the North Carolina Fisheries Association.
The Survej' not only examines into the present conditions of these
various natural resources, but, when there seems to be a crying
need for the conservation and perpetuation of certain of our re-
sources, stich as forestry and the commercial fisheries, it seeks to give
this information such publicity as will bring the citizens of the State
to realize the great necessity of conserving and perpetuating the
wealth with which Nature has so abundantly endowed our State. No
attempt is made on the part of the Survej' to cloak any adverse
conditions, but an effort is made to reveal the true state of affairs,
with the idea that by making a correct diagnosis a cure can the
sooner be reached. It is believed by those familiar with the work
of this Department that many of the great economic problems of
the present and the future are involved in its work. Every effort
has been made to educate and arouse the people of the State to the
importance of proper methods of conservation of not only our so-
called natural resources, but of our time, labor, and money in the
construction of better roads. Such educational work is carried on
by means of addresses, bulletins, newspai^er articles, conventions,
demonstration work, etc.
Below is given in some detail the work of the Survey under dif-
ferent headings.
ROAD WORK.
The work of the Highway Division of the North Carolina Geological
and Economic Survey has grown so enormously during the past few
years, owing to the widespread interest which has been awakened
Geological and Economic Survey. ^ 111
throughout the State in this phase of advancemeut, that tlie State
Geologist is uuable to meet all the demands for addresses, engineer-
ing assistance, etc., that come in. Wherever conditions permit,
counties and tovs^nships are urged to employ a competent road engi-
neer. Frequently the financial condition of the county or township
and the amount of work in such county or township are not sufficient
to warrant the employment of a first-class highway engineer all the
year round. Plence the Geological Survey is advocating a sufficient
appropriation on the part of the State to warrant the State's furnish-
ing engineering assistance to counties in connection with the location,
construction, and maintenance of their roads.
In order to arrive at some definite conclusions as to the status of
the road work in the State, data have been collected in cooperation
with the United States Office of Public Roads, which are incor-
jiorated in a report lately published. These data show that we now
have in North Carolina 48,235 miles of public road, of which there
are 1,175 miles of macadam, 1,502 miles of sand-clay, 683 miles of
gravel, and 89% miles of specially surfaced road, making a total of
3,449^2 miles of improved road in the State. Of this improved road,
1,0921/^ miles was built during 1911 and 491 miles of dirt road was
graded. There was raised by special tax for road purposes during
1911 $1,116,260, either by township or county" tax. About one-eighth
of this tax was used in paying interest on bond issues and the bal-
ance expended on the roads. During 1911 and a portion of 1912,
nineteen counties voted $632,000 in bonds for road purposes. Thir-
teen of these issues were township bond issues. To give in detail all
the data contained in this report would give too much length to an
article, and the following are the conclusions reached after a review
of this matter :
That North Carolina is yearly spending a direct tax of $1,466,354 ;
a labor tax equivalent to $916,003 (including free and convict labor) ;
making a total of $2,383,157 on her roads in maintenance and the
construction of new roads.
That the present system of maintenance results in nothing of per-
manent value, and seldom affords temporary relief from bad road
conditions ; so that the enormous expenditure for this purpose is prac-
tically thrown away.
112
Administrating; Departmb^nts.
That the present system of bad roads at a low estimate is annually
costing the people of the State over ?12,000,000 in increased cost of
haulage over the cost of hauling a similar load over an improved
road.
That the most glaring defect in our present system of road con-
struction and maintenance is the class of road officials employed, i. e.,
placing the work of road construction, maintenance, and the handling
of road funds in the hands of men untrained for this kind of work.
That the most efficient aid which a State can render its counties is
by furnishing road engineering assistance to the counties. The use
of a State engineer in county work would insure to the county the
proper location of its roads and expenditure of its funds regardless
of petty local politics or influence.
That the State could very soon check this terrific drain on its
citizens by the annual expenditure of from $50,000 to $100,000 for
the maintenance of a State Highway Department, which would
furnish engineers for highway location, construction, bridge con-
struction, etc.
That with the privilege of such aid the counties will be encouraged
to issue bonds or raise money in other ways to construct good roads
through their borders.
It is felt by those connected with the Survey that in spite of the
present large mileage of unimproved roads and the inadequate meth-
ods of demonstration in connection with the expenditure of the road
funds, that there has still been a steady advance in the good roads
work of North Carolina, particularly in the wealthier and more
progressive counties. The strongest evidence of this is the number
of counties and townships which have employed competent engineers
to take charge of their road work. The Geological Survey feels
that it cannot advocate too strenuously the abandonment of the old
haphazard methods of road location, construction, and maintenance,
and the adoption of scientific, businesslike, and systematic methods
for every county in the State and for the State as a whole.
One feature in the road work which has arisen in the past two
years has been the idea of intercounty and interstate roads. The
Legislature of 1911 designated two highways, one to be known as
the Central Highway, beginning at the seacoast and traversing the
entire length of the State to the Tennessee line, crossing nineteen
Geological and Economic Sxirvey. 113
counties: and another to be known as the Charlotte-Wilmington
Highway, which traverses the southern tier of counties. In estab-
lishing these highways, the State Geologist was directed to designate
the routes.
Other intercounty highways of interest to the State at large and
which have begun to be built within the last two or three years are:
The Crest of the Blue Kidge Highway, which follows along, as its
name suggests, the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and which
when completed will open a section of country to tourists whose
scenery is second to none east of the Rockies.
The Triangular Highway, running from Pinehurst to Raleigh,
Raleigh to High Point, and High Point to Pinehurst. This highway
is now pretty well completed, with the exception of some few links.
The building of these highways, extending from county to county
and from State to State, marks an era of liberality on the part of
the various counties and sections of the State which has heretofore
not been felt in any public work. By making it possible for one
section of the State to have a good road to another section will
ilndoubtedly bring about a closer bond of citizenship than has ever
existed in our State.
DRAINAGE.
One of the major undertakings of the Survey during the past several
years has been in connection with the reclaiming of swamp lands in
the eastern part of the State and overflowed lands in the piedmont and
mountain sections. The Legislature of 1909 passed an act (chapter
442, Public Laws of 1909), which was amended by the Legislature of
1911, to promote the drainage of wet, swamp, and overflowed lands.
Through the operations of this act it has been possible to inaugurate
a system of drainage not only in eastern North Carolina (where the
swamp lands are so abundant and so inimical to health and agri-
culture), but also of the wet and overflowed lands in the piedmont
and mountain sections of the State. There are approximately 4,505
square miles, or 2.883,000 acres, in eastern North Carolina, together
with hundreds of thousands of acres of wet and overflowed lands in
other portions of the State, which without drainage are not only of
no value to their sections, but are a positive menace. Realizing this,
it will readily appear that the State would reap an inestimable ad-
8

vantage from the reclamatiou of these swamp lands and the conser-
vation of this wonderfully rich soil for agricultural purposes.
The progress of the drainage work since the passage of this act has
not only been surprising, but extremely gratifying. Fifty-odd drain-
age districts have been established, or are in process of organization,
embracing over 700,000 acres of swamp and overflowed land. In one
district where the drainage is an accomplished fact, the land before
it was drained was worth barely $3 an acre, the cost of draining was
not over $6 an acre, and the owners now are refusing $100 per acre.
This drainage work has been inaugurated, fostered, and supervised
by the Geological Survey, which has done everything in its power to
encourage drainage projects which were after a preliminary exami-
nation considered feasible by a competent drainage engineer.
FOKESTRY.
When it is realized that one-sixth of North Carolina's wealth is in
her forests, and that this iDcr cent is rapidly being diminished by
their devastation due to forest fires, ruthless cutting of timber, the
pasturage of hogs and cattle (and the consequent killing out of the
young growth), it is felt by those who have studied these conditions
very carefully that this is one of the most vital questions in the State.
The Geological Survey has continued to make a careful study of the
forest conditions of the State, having made an inventory of the
forest resources of Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Swain, Macon, Jackson.
Haywood, Transylvania, Henderson, Buncombe, Madison, Yancey,
Mitchell, Watauga, Ashe, Alleghany, Polk, Rutherford. McDowell,
Burke, Caldwell, Wilkes, Alexander, Cleveland. Catawba, Mecklen-
burg, Cabarrus, Iredell, Kowan, Davie, Yadkin, Davidson. Forsyth,
Stokes, Lincoln, Surry, and Gaston counties. In making this study
the following points were covered :
(1) A map of the portion of the State studied, showing the distri-
bution of the forests.
(2) The percentage of forest lands in each county, together with
its comparative value for agriculture, for the protection of timber,
and as a protection for streams.
(3) The percentage and location of the principal forest tyi>es,
together with their approximate stand of timber per acre of different
species.
• Geological and Economic Survey. 115
(4) The percentage and location of second-growth pole stand, and
the age, where possible.
(5) Data for ascertaining the most practicable methods of manag-
ing the second-growth stands of the different types.
(6) A study of the most practicable methods of managing the dif-
ferest forest types to produce as nearly as possible the special kinds
and amount of timber required by the industries.
(7) A study of the various methods of lumbering to determine the
changes, if any, which may be recommended to improve the condition
of the forest and to prevent unnecessary waste.
(S) A study of the allied industries, such as farming, stock raising,
and mining, in their relation to forests, in order that the relative
importance of each may be determined.
(9) The damage, costs, frequency, and effects of forest fires, with
the object of working out some practical system of fire protection.
(10) The practicability of planting in forest trees abandoned fields
or other waste lands, with the object of preventing erosion and pro-
ducing timber.
The Survey has also made a close statistical study of the damage
annually incurretl by the State in forest fires, and this data has been
published in reports. The conclusion of this study is that we need
(1) better laws to control the individual; (2) stricter regulations
controlling railroads or other companies or individuals using spark-
producing machines; and (3) some State system of properly enforcing
these laws, and an adequate appropriation to meet the needs of the
State.
As such a large part of North Carolina's wealth is invested in
timber land and wood-using industries, and realizing the growing
shortage in the supply suitable for the use of these wood-using indus-
tries, and the consequent gradual modification in the requirements
fixed by these consumers, and recognizing the value both to the pro-
ducers and the consumers of timber of a more intimate knowledge of
local market conditions, the Survey has made a statistical study of
the wood-using industries of the State. The wood-using industries
can be divided into three classes : (1) those taking timber in the log
and by the usual operation of the sawmill converting it into rough
lumber; (2) those manufacturing directly from the log a finished
product, which cannot be changed by any further process of manu-
IIG Administrative Departments.
facture, such as staves, excelsior, shingles, veneer boxes, or mine
rollei's; and (3) those using rough lumber and by the application of
skilled labor and the aid of wood-using machinery converting it into
such finished products as furniture, etc.
The Survey has also undertaken the examination of timber areas for
individuals and companies, with the idea of devising some plan for
their practicing scientific management so as to insure a perpetual
supply on such lands. Examinations have been made of watersheds
belonging to municipalities, in regard to their protection from fire
and contamination. Investigations have been made in regard to re-
forestation of abandoned farm lands and cut-over lands.
The influences of the forests are so far-reaching as to make their
protection a vital question not only when considering the future
supply of timber, but when it is taken into account that the perpetua-
tion of our water-powers are dependent directly upon the preservation
of the forests along the headwaters of the streams.
FISHERIES.
One natural resource of great importance, particularly to eastern
North Carolina, is our commercial fisheries. The Survey has under-
taken to investigate, and, if possible, to find a remedy for the adverse
conditions which appear to be operating to the destruction of our
commercial fishes. During the past several years reports have been
constantly coming in showing that the fish have been growing scarcer
each year, and that some sort of State protection is necessary if many
of our edible fish are to be saved from total extinction. The Survey
has made every effort to bring such conditions to the attention of the
people of the State and to make them realize that this great natural
resource belongs to the State as a whole, and not to any one section,
and that by proper protection the industry can be made to yield larger
returns to the State. The Geological Survey, in cooperation with
other departments, has held a number of fish conventions, published
literature, and made investigations with an eye to solving this most
important problem. A convention held in New Bern, December, 1911,
was attended by delegates from all the fishing counties of the State,
and was most unanimous in its advocacy of State protection and of
the State Fish Commission having jurisdiction over every county in
the State.
Geological and Economic Survey. 117
geology and mineralogy.
But little purely geological work has been done by the Survey in
the past two years, owing to the amount of time and money required
by other phases of work which, for the time being, seemed more
important. The volume on the Coastal Plain deposits, including the
report on the Artesian Water Supply of the Coastal Plain, has been
carried through the press and is practically ready for distribution.
Further studies have been pursued in connection with the Coastal
Plain Geology and Paleontology, which will be incorporated into
volumes relating to the Eocene and Miocene of the Coastal Plain of
North Carolina.
Statistics relating to the production of the various minerals and
ores of the State were collected in cooperation with the United States
Geological Survey and published each year by the State Survey.
Many mineral specimens are constantly being received at the office,
tested and reported on. The majority of these specimens are of no
value whatever, but occasionally one is sent in which is of value either
commercially or as a matter of scientific interest.
MAPPING.
Owing to a ruling of the United States Geological Survey that the
Federal Survey would no longer couperate in the making of traverse
maps, but would cooperate in the preparation of topographic maps, it
has not been possible for the Survey to arrange any plans by which
further areas could be mapped. A geographical map of the whole
State has been prepared, in cooperation with the United States Geo-
logical Survey, and published by the State Survey. This is believed
to be the most accurate geographical map of the State yet published.
It would be of great service, not only in connection with soil work,
agricultural work, road work, mining, and other industries, to have
topographic maps of all the counties of the State, but it would be of
inestimable value to private individuals and corporations to be able to
secure such maps to assist them in their undertakings. A special
appropriation by the Legislature would therefore be most timely for
continuing this work.

BOARD OF INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.
By B. C. Beckwith, Memlier of the Board, Raleigh, N. C.
The State Board of Internal Improvements was created and made
a body corporate by chapter 982, Acts of the General Assembly of
North Carolina, 1819. In 1836 the board was made to consist of the
Governor of the State, president ex officio, and two commissioners, to
be biennially appointed by the Governor with the advice of the
Council of State.
Chapter 101 of the Revisal of 1905 provides that the two commis-
sioners be now appointed biennially by the Governor with "the advice
of the Senate." The private secretary of the Governor is secretary
ex- officio of the board, which meets in the Governor's office, or at any
other place in the State as it may see fit.
The Board has charge of all the State's interest in all railroads,
canals, and other works of internal improvement ; and the Legislature
of 1905 added, "also all public institutions in which the State has an
interest, excepting the higher educational institutions that are not
also charitable."
The board shall biennially report to the General Assembly the con-
dition of all public or State institutions and buildings in their charge,
railroads, roads, and other works of internal improvements in which
Board of Internal Improvements. 119
the State has an iuterest ; shall suggest such improvements, enlarge-
ments, or extensions of such works as they shall deem proper, and
such new works of similar nature as shall seem to them to be de-
manded by the growth of trade or the general prosperity of the State;
the amount, condition, and character of the State's interest in rail-
roads, roads, and other works of internal improvements in which the
State has stock or whose bonds she holds as security ; the condition of
such roads or other corporate bodies and State institutions in detail,
financial condition, receipts and disbursements, etc.
The board may require of the president or chief officer of any rail-
road or other works of public improvement or any public institution
in which the State has an interest, a written report, under oath, of
the affairs of his company or institution for the year, and a failure on
part of such chief officer of any public institution or company in which
the State has an interest to make a true report is made a misde-
meanor, punishable by fine or imprisonment.
Provision is also made for the appointment of a special auditor to
audit the accounts and books of all institutions, corporate bodies and
State departments whenever the Governor and the board may deem
it necessary.
When the board, as it is authorized to do, is making an investigation
of the affairs of any public institution or company in which the State
has an interest or the official conduct of any official thereof, if any
person shall refuse to obey any summons of, or shall refuse to answer
any question when requested so to do, by a member of the board, he
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and may be fined and imprisoned.
And upon report of the board, the Governor may suspend or remove
from office any of said officials, if in the opinion of the board and the
Governor the interest of the State demands it.
The Legislature of 1909 amended chapter 101 of the Revisal so that
whenever the General Assembly shall direct or authorize directly or
indirectly the erection or alteration of any building or buildings at
any State institution, charitable, educational, or penal, the Board of
Internal Improvements shall let the same out by contract, and take
from the contractor a bond with sufficient security payable to the State
in such sum as the board may deem sufficient, with the condition that
he will faithfully perform his contract according to plans or specifica-

tions agreed upon. And chapter 101 of the Revisal was also amended
by the Legishitiire of 1911, providing that no corporation, company, or
institution in which the State has an interest shall lease, mortgage, or
otherwise encumber its property except by and with the consent of the
Board of Internal Improvements and the Council of State.
NORTH CAROLINA NATIONAL GUARD.
Laltbence W. Young, Adjutant General. Raleigh.
The strength of the North Carolina National Guard is as follows :
Commissioned officers, land forces 237
Enlisted men, land forces 2,277
Naval Militia, commissioned officers 40
Naval Militia, enlisted men 324
Total strength 2,878
The National Guard of North Carolina is divided into organiza-
tions as follows : The general staff corps ; three regiments of infantry
of twelve companies and band each ; a coast artillery corps of six
companies; a naval brigade of six divisions; two hospital corps de-
tachments of twelve men each, one ambulance company, one field
hospital and two troops of cavalry.
The annual appropriation by the State for the maintenance of the
organized militia is $27,000. This amount is expended principally
in paying armory rent and in paying 2.5 cents per drill to enlisted men
for as many as two drills per month, provided they comply with cer-
tain rules and regulations.
The brigade and regimental commanders are each allowed .$150
per year for expenses, and the commanding officer of the Coast Artil-
lery Corps is allowed $75 per year for expenses. The pay, transpor-
tation, and subsistence of the North Carolina National Guard while
in camp of instruction is paid by the United States Government, and
all equipment is furnished by the Federal Government.
Every member of the organized militia of North Carolina is, in ac-
cordance with section 4897, Revisal of 1905, as amended by chapter
316, Public Laws of 1907, and United States Statutes. Act of January

civil authority of the State or Nation, or going to war for the United
National Guard. 121
States if called upon by the President. It seems to be the fixed
policy of our Government to maintain a well organized, well dis-
ciplined, and efficient militia in the several States at a nominal cost,
thereby obviating the necessity for a large regular army. During
this year the National Government paid all the expenses of the
encampment of the First and Second regiments at Camp Glenn and
the joint seacoast defense exercises of the Coast Artillery Corps at
Fort Caswell, N. C, and all of the expenses of the Third Regiment
in the joint maneuvers at Anniston, Ala. The National Government
is also furnishing two ships for the use of the North Carolina Naval
Militia, without expense to the State. The U. 8. S. Elfrida and the
torpedo boat Foote are assigned for this purpose and are now at New-
Bern, the headquarters of the Naval Militia.
The Adjutant General is chief of staff and is in control of the
military department of the State, and is subordinate only to the Gov-
ernor in matters pertaining to said department. Through the office
of Adjutant Gccneral is handled all reports and records of the military
establishment, and all orders pertaining to the militia are issued by
the Adjutant General. In his office is kept a record of all the com-
missioned officers and enlisted men of the Guard. All military text-
books and blank forms and orders from the War Department are
handled through the Adjutant General's office. An annual report to
the Governor, covering a detailed statement of the work and expendi-
tures for the year, is required by law from the Adjutant General.
Inquiries of the record of service of soldiers in any of the wars in
which our troops have ever been engaged are answered through the
Adjutant General's office. The work in this office is increasing rapidly
each year, for while the United States Government is spending much
more on the militia than ever before, more is required, and as all the
business with the War Department is handled through the Adjutant
General's office, the volume of work of necessity increases.
During the past year there has been assigned to the North Carolina
National Guard an officer of the United States Army, whose duty it is
to visit regularly the different organizations of the Guard for the pur-
pose of giving instruction and making inspection. His services have
proven of great value.
There are now two troops of cavalry in the North Carolina National
Guard, these being the first in the history of the Guard. They are
Troop A at Lincolnton and Troop B at Asheville.
1-2 Administrative Depaetments.
In May, 1912, a camp of instruction for officers of the National
Guard was held at Kaleigh. This Is the first time that such a school
has been held in this State. The instructors were Regular Army
officers detailed by the War Department.
Rifle ranges have been established at many of the company stations,
and for the past two years rifle practice and competition have been
held on the ranges at Raleigh, Goldsboro, and Asheville.
In 1911 the State was represented in the National Matches at Camp
Perry, Ohio, by a rifle team which made a higher score and took a
higher stand than any of the teams our State has had at the National
Matches.
Twenty-two officers of the North Carolina National Guard attended
the maneuvers of the Regular Army near San Antonio, Texas, for
periods of two weeks each exclusive of time consumed in travel.
These officers gained much valuable information which will be helpful
to them in handling troops in the field.

The Prison building is a magnificent bricli structure, erected upon
granite foundation. Tlie Prison wall is of granite, and is twenty feet
in lieight and six feet broad at the top, and its base is said to extend
sixteen feet below the surface. The building and wall are estimated
to have cost the State more than a million and a quarter dollars.
The institution is situated about one mile west of the Capitol on
the extension of Morgan Street and near Hillsboro Road.
The affairs of the Prison are administered by a board of five
directors, appointed by the Governor.
The Dangerous Insane Department is maintained within the $5,000
per year appropriated by the Legislature out of the State Prison
earnings. The Legislature of 1909 appropriated $5,000 for improve-
ments, and new wards, new kitchen, bathrooms and a hall on two
floors have been added and they are now more comfortable than ever
before and all are liept in that department, and not kept in the
Prison cells, as heretofore.

UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA.
Fbancis p. Venable, President, Chapel Hill.
The University of North Carolina is located at Chapel Hill. Its
charter was granted in 1789; the corner-stone of the first building
was laid in 1793 and it was opened for students in 1795. The campus
of 48 acres and about 550 acres of forest contiguous to it were given
by the citizens of Orange County. Its first buildings were also given
by friends of the Universitj', the Legislature granting a loan of
$10,000 in 1793, which was afterwards converted into a gift, and
making the first direct appropriation for a building in 1905, when
$50,000 was given for a chemical laboratory.
The State made no appropriation for the maintenance of the
University for the first eighty years of its existence. In 1875 the
interest from the Land Scrip Fund ($7,500) was paid over to the
University, and withdrawn in 1887. In 1881 the annual sum of $5,000
was appropriated for the maintenance and support of the University.
This annual appropriation is now $87,000.
In 1861-65 and the following Reconstruction Period the University
was stripped of its funds, landed property, and much of its equip-
ment. From 1871 to 1875 its dooi's were closed. It was reopened in
1875 with practically nothing but empty halls and the contributions
of its friends amounting to about $20,000 for the purchase of new
equipment.
Its property now consists of
Campus — 48 acres, and woodland 550 acres $ 70,000
Buildings— 25, and 3 faculty houses 690,000
Equipment — books, apparatus, furniture, etc 210,000
$ 970,000
Its endowment, including loan fimds, amounts to. 216,000
Total $1,186,000
The income of the University was derived from the following
sources for the year 1911-12 :
State appropriation $ 87,000
Students' fees 57,000
Invested funds - 12,500
Total $156,500
128
State Educational Institutions.
The University comprises the following departments : Collegiate,
applied science, teachers' training, graduate, law, medicine and phar-
macy. There are thirty-two professors, thirteen associate professors,
twelve instructors, twenty-nine assistants. A number of the assist-
ants help in the laboratories and librarj- and do no actual teaching.
The number of students for the session 1911-12 was 796. In addition,
there were 4G3 teachers in attendance upon the summer school. Of
the students attending the regular session, 753 were from North
Carolina. As the University has been cramped for equipment and
accommodations, no special effort has been made to attract students
from outside the State.
The parents of the students represent all professions, creeds, and
parties in the State. The leading professions represented are:
farmers, 255 ; merchants, 126 ; lawyers, 65 ; physicians, 52 ; manufac-
turers. 42 ; ministers. 33 ; teachers, 23. The leading churches are :
Methodist, 235; Baptists, 188; Presbyterians, 150; Episcopalians, 113.
All but nine of the counties in the State were represented, and five
of these were represented in the previous session.
Over one-half of the students earn or borrow, in part or in whole,
the money for their education. Some forty of them earn their bread
by waiting at table. Few of the families from which these students
come are able to stand the strain of the support of a son at college
without stringent economy or even many sacrifices. About one-half
of the graduates start out as teachers.
There is a splendid spirit of democracy about the institution which
opens the doors of achievement to all alike and places attainment
upon merit alone. It is emphatically a place "where wealth is no
prejudice and poverty is no shame."
The State has not been able to equip the University fully for its
work. It should, if possible, be placed on a footing which would
enable it to meet every proper demand made upon it for the education
of the youth of North Carolina. Unless such provision is made the
University must suffer and the State still more.

D. H. Hill, President, West Raleigh.
During the years in which North Carolina was slowly emerging
from the economic havoc wrought by Civil War and Eecoustruction,
some farsighted men began to see the necessity of rearing industrially
equipped men. They felt keenly the need of competent men to build
and direct new industries, and to restore the land which had been
impoverished by slave labor. They recognized that men capable of
doing what was needed would, have to be educated in industrial
schools and technical colleges. This recognition came slowly, because
the Southern people up to that period had been wedded to classical
education.
The first organized body to take steps for the establishment of an
industrial institution in North Carolina was the Watauga Club.
This club, composed of bright young men, explained its mission by
declaring that it was "an association in the city of Raleigh designed
to find out and make known information on practical subjects that
will be of public use." In 1885 this club presented to the Legislature
the following memorial :
9
130 State Educational Institutions.
"We respectfully memorialize your honorable botly :
"First. To establish au industrial school in North Carolina which
shall be a training place for young men who wish to acquire skill in
the wealth-producing arts and sciences.
"Second. To establish this school in Raleigh in connection with
the State Agricultural Department.
"Third. To make provision for the erection of suitable buildings
and for their equipment and maintenance.
(Signed) Arthur Winslow, Chairman;
W. J. Peele,
Walter H. Page."
This memorial quickened general interest in the proposed school,
and several bills looking to its foundation were introduced in the
Legislature of 1SS5. On March 7th, one of these bills, introduced by
Hon. Augustus Leazar of Iredell County, became a law. This law
provideil that the Board of Agriculture should seek proposals from
the cities and towns of the State, and that the school should be
placed in the town offering most inducements. The Board of Agri-
culture finally accepted an offer from the city of Raleigh.
Meantime, the ideas of the advocates of the school had been some-
what broadened as to the character of the proposed institution. They
saw that Congress was about to supplement the original laud grant
by an additional appropriation for agricultural and mechanical col-
leges in each State. The originators of the conception then sought the
aid of progressive farmers in order to change the school into an Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College. Col. L. L. Polk, the editor of the
newly-established Progressive Farmer, threw the weight of his paper
heartily into the new idea. Meetings were held in various places,
and two very large meetings in Raleigh considered the proposition.
As a result, the school already provided for was by action of the
Legislature of 1S87 changed into an Agricultural and Mechanical Col-
lege, and the Land Scrip Fund was given the newly formed institu-
tion. In addition, the law directed that any surplus from the Depart-
ment of Agriculture should go into the treasury of the college. Mr.
R. Stanhope Pullen, one of Raleigh's most broad-minded citizens, gave
the institution eighty-three acres of laud in a beautiful suburb of
Raleigh. The first building was completed in 1SS9 and the doors of
the college were opened for students in October, 1SS9. Seventy-two
students, representing thirty-seven counties, were enrolled the first
year. The faculty consisted of six full professors and two assistants.
N. C. College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. 131
From this small beginning in 1SS9, the college has grown to be the
second in size in students and faculty among the colleges for men in
the State.
The college confines its curriculum entirely to technical and indus-
trial education. No genei'al or academic courses are offered.
The courses of study are as follows :
First, Agriculture, including under this general term Horticulture,
Trucking, Animal Husbandry, Dairying, and Veterinary Science.
Second, Engineering. This course includes Civil, Electrical, Me-
chanical, and Mining Engineering. The equipment for field and for
laboratory work in these courses makes them very practical.
Third, Textile Industry. Students in Textiles have an entire
mill building for their use. In addition to carding, spinning, weav-
ing and designing, they have a thoroughly practical course in dyeing
and in the chemistry of dyes.
Fourth, Industrial Chemistry. A four-year course in Industrial
Chemistry.
In all these courses, mathematics, English, physics and chemistry
are recpiired.
For young men who have not time or means to spend four years in
college, and yet who want to fit themselves as far as possible for
industrial employments, short courses of one and two years are
offered in Agriculture, and two years in Mechanic Arts and Textiles.

THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL
COLLEGE.
JuLiDS I. Foust, President, Greensboro, N. C.
The North Carolina State Normal and Industrial College was estab-
lished by an act of the General Assembly of 1891. The purpose for
which the institution was created, as stated in section 5 of the act
establishing it, is as follows :
"The object of this institution shall be (1) to give young women
such education as shall fit them for teaching; (2) to give instruction
to young women in drawing, telegraphy, typewriting, stenography,
and such other industrial arts as may be suitable to their sex and
conducive to their support and usefulness. Tuition shall be free to
those who signify their intention to teach upon such conditions as
may be prescribed by the board of directors."
In 1892 the institution began with $50,000 donated by the city of
Greensboro and ten acres of land, the gift of Mr. R. S. Pnllen. Mr.
R. T. Gray, Mr. E. P. Wharton, and others, and with an annual ap-
propriation of $10,000 from the State. In addition to the State
appropriation and tuition fees, the institution received during the
first years about $3,000 annually from the Peabody Fund and for
three years received $2,500 annually from the General Education
Board. It also received about $11,000 from the faculty and students,
and a small amount from Mr. George Foster Peabody, and a library
building from Mr. Andrew Carnegie. The plant is now worth more
than $600,000, the annual State appropriation is $87,000, and the loan
and scholarship funds received from various sources in the State and
out of it now amount to $21,000. The faculty numbers 65, and there
were enrolled during the past session 586 students and during the
summer session 416 students. Total, 1,002.
The chief mission of the institution lies in furnishing the public
school system of the State well-equipped teachers who are capable
of rendering the State intelligent and useful service. It provides
regular degree courses, whose admission requirements, curriculum of
instruction, and standards of scholarship are in keeping with the re-
quirements of our best Southern colleges for men and women. A pre-
paratory department conducted by the regular college faculty is main-
tained for those students who do not have access to good preparatory
Normal and Industrial College. 133
schools. The institution does not receive, however, as students any
who have not completed the course of instruction offered in the home
school.
Special industrial and commercial courses are open to those who
do not have free tuition and are not under contract to teach. Pro-
vision is also made for teachers who may wish to take brief courses
in pedagogy and in the subjects taught in the public schools. For
those who cannot remain longer, a one-year course is offered. For
various reasons a number of ambitious teachers are not able to avail
themselves of the one-year course, and to meet the demands of these
a regular summer session has been inaugurated. The advantages of
the institution are thus open to every worthy young white woman
who has availed herself of the opportunities offered in the public
schools of the State.
The patronage of the institution has justified the wisdom of the
founders. During the twenty years of its life, beginning October,
1892, and closing with the session of May, 1912, the college has had an
average enrollment of 476 students. These students have come from
all the 100 counties of the State, and in their political and religious
faith, their financial condition, their professional and social life, their
intellectual ability and previous educational opportunities, are repre-
sentative of the people of North Carolina. Of the 5,30.3 young women
who have sought the help and strength thus provided, more than 80
per cent received their training in the rural public schools, one-third
defrayed their own expenses, and two-thirds, according to their own
written statement, would not have attended any other North Carolina
college. In brief, one of the strongest forces of the college, and a
prime source of its usefulness, has been the representative character
of its patronage. This coming together of all classes from all sections
of the State necessarily results in creating an atmosphere of whole-
some democracy and equal opportunity. The spirit of the State
college for women is, therefore, what the spirit of every State college
should be, and, as a result, its representatives acquire that larger
sympathy, that breadth of vision, and that intelligent insight into the
needs of their State that no text-books or lectures or mere academic
training can ever hope to give.
Some indication of the serviceableness of the college is suggested
by what has been said of the scope and character of its patronage.
134 State Educational Ixstitutions.
It has, since its establishmeut, been an open door of opportunity for
the white women of North Carolina. Through it the State has added
to its resources over 5.300 educated women, who have taught lessons
of patriotism and right living to at least 200,000 North Carolina chil-
dren. Two-thirds of all the students enrolled and nine-tenths of all
who graduate become teachers in North Carolina. No large move-
ment for the uplift of the State has failed to have support from its
faculty and students, and to-tlay there is not a county in the State
where representatives of the college are not to be found actively
engaged in public service.
SUMMER SESSION,
The special purpose of the State Normal and Industrial College in
organizing the Summer Session was to offer the advantages of its
instruction to those women in the State whose occupation during
other months of the year prevent their attendance upon the regular
session. In the selection and arrangement of its summer courses
the college has in view the needs of the following classes :
1st. Teachers wishing special work in the principles and methods
of teaching (Primary, Grammar, and High School), with opportuni-
ties for practice and observation work under experienced super-
visors.
2d. Teachers desiring advanced or collegiate courses in Philosophy,
Science, Psychology, and the History of Education.
3d. Teachers of special subjects, such as Agriculture, Domestic
Science, Vocal Music, Drawing, and Manual Arts.
4th. High-school teachers who desire advanced or extra work along
the line of their specialties with free use of good department libraries
and well-equipped laboratories.
5th. College students who wish to eai'n advanced credit or to re-
move conditions.
Gth. Students preparing for college.
Tth. Mothers, wives, and home-makers who feel the need of prac-
tical hell) in such subjects as food and food values, cookery, kitchen
conveniences, home nursing, sanitation, and household decoration.
In the first summer session, which was held during 1912, there
were enrolled in the various departments 416 students.

CULLOWHEE NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.
A. C. Reynolds, Principal, Cullowhee, N. C.
The Cullowhee Normal and Industrial School is a State coeduca-
tional institution for the training of teachers. It has a fine history,
having prepared more than six hundred teachers for public school
work and having furnished ten county superintendents to the State.
The school was chartered in 1891, and in 1905 became a State insti-
tution.
The prospects were never brighter than at present. A new and
well-equipped dormitory for young ladies has recently been erected
and other buildings are in contemplation. The school owns and
operates private steam heating and electric lighting plants and is
installing an excellent gravity system that will supply the institu-
tion with an abundance of pure water.
The organization of the school embraces the following departments :

THE APPALACHIAN TRAINING SCHOOL.
B. B. Dougherty, Superintendent, Boone, N. C.
The Appalachian Training School for Teachers was established by
act of the Legislature of 1903. The school is located at Boone,
Watauga County, North Carolina, in the midst of North Carolina's
unsurpassed mountain scenery. It is the center of education for the
northwestern section of North Carolina, embracing some of the best
of her mountainous counties. It draws its patronage from twenty-
five counties.
138 State Educational Institutions.
The iiistitution makes uo pretensions to being a college. It is a
normal school, and its mission is to give a higb-scliool and profes-
sional e<lucation to linndreds of young people who cannot go else-
where.
During the year 1911-1912 there were 388 students in the school.
It supplies a large proportion of the public school teachers for the
surrounding counties, and has had a marked influence upon the
improvement of scholarship and professional training of these teach-
ers. In addition to this, the school has opened a way to the State
University and the State Normal College to a large number of stu-
dents who otherwise would not have entered those institutions.
The first appropriation made by the Legislature was $2,000 for
maintenance, voted by the Legislature of 1903. The Legislature of
IdOl increased this to $4,000, and made an additional appropriation
of .$10,000 for the enlargement of the plant. In 1909 the Legislature
appropriated $6,000 a year for maintenance, and $8,000 per year for
general improvements. The Legislature of 1911 appropriated $10,000
per annum for maintenance, and $10,000 for improvements.

EAST CAROLINA TEACHERS TRAINING SCHOOL.
Robert H. Wright, President, Greenville, X. C.
The East Carolina Teachers Training School Avas established by
act of the General Assembly of 1907. The school is located at Green-
ville. The site contains 50 acres of land, a large part of which is
natural forest.
East Carolina Teachers Training School. 139
Six buildings have been erected : two dormitories witli a capacity
for 104 students; an administration building containing tlie offices,
auditorium, and classrooms ; a building for the kitchen and dining-
room (this building contains storerooms for supplies and a refriger-
•ating plant) ; an infirmary, and a building containing the power plant
and laundry.
The buildings and equiianent are modern in every sense and are
valued at $200,000. The town of Greenville and county of Pitt voted
$100,000 in bonds for this school, and the State has made an appro-
priation of $45,000 for buildings and equipment. These buildings, for
lack of funds, have not yet been thoroughly e<iuippe<l, but enough
equipment has been installed to enable the school to do efficient work.
The equipment installed is of the best type procurable.
Section 3 of the charter reads : "That the said school shall be
maintained by the State for the purpose of giving to young white men
and women such education and training as shall fit and qualify them
to teach in the public schools of North Carolina." This clearly sets
forth the purpose of this school. To those students who agree to
teach there is no charge for tuition. Out of an enrollment of 595
during the past school year, there were only five students who paid
tuition. This shows that the management of the school is adhering
rigidly to the purpose of the school as stated in its charter.
The school first opened its doors for students October 5, 1000.
During the past three years, including the summer -terms, there have
been enrolled 1,612 students.

THE STATE SCHOOL FOR THE BLIND AND THE DEAF.*
John E. Ray, Principal, Raleigh.
This institution was established by act of the General Assembly
passed January 12, 1845, while Hon. W. A. Graham was Governor of
North Carolina. On the first day of May following the school opened
with seven pupils, which number increased to seventeen during the
session. The first appropriation amounted to $5,000 annually. Two
years later it was made $10,000. W. D. Cooke, of Virginia, was
elected first principal, and for some years the school was conducted
in a building on Hillsboro Street, rented for the purpose.
On April 14, 1849, the corner-stone of the present main building
on Caswell Square, was laid by the Grand Lodge of Masons. At first
deaf children only were received, but later blind children were also
admitted.
In 1868 a department for the education of the negro deaf and blind
children of the State was established on Bloodworth Street, in the
southeastern part of the city. This has grown to be the largest and
best equipped school for the negro deaf and blind in the South.
In 1894 the white deaf children were removed to their elegant new
school at Morganton. The old school continued to grow until there
were 186 pupils actually present in both departments, and the annual
appropriation was $40,000. It has now grown to be the largest of its
kind in America, and North Carolina has the proud distinction of
doing more for its deaf and blind children, in proportion to its popu-
lation, than any State in the Tnion. And yet this is done at a smaller
pi-o rata expense than in any other State, save one. During these
fourteen years the old main building has been greatly enlarged, a new
slate roof has replaced the old tin one, modern plumbing takes the
place of that formerly used.
The old chapel building has been remodeled and enlarged, the main
floor converted into a dining hall, and the upper story into a music
hall with sixteen well-equipped practice rooms and a band room.
This is also furnished with a new slate roof.
The auditorium building furnishes dormitories for the boys, with
all modern conveniences, and a good auditorium.
*The State schools for blind white children and for the blind and deaf negro children,
though separate institutions, in separate buildings located in different parts of the city,
are under the same supervision. — Ed.
School fob the Blind and the Deaf. 141
Four years ago a very neat and convenient library was constructed,
which is entirely fireproof, at a cost of $5,000, and a new pipe organ
was also installed, one of the very best in the South.
Four years ago the General Assembly made provision for renewing
the heating plant and installing a hot-water plant instead of steam.
At the same time provision was made for ten new pianos ; for paving
the basement floors and the sidewalks around the premises; for out-
door gymnasium; metal ceilings for all the rooms in the main build-
ings and for sick wards at the colored school.
The industrial building furnishes room for the broom, mattress,
and cane-seating departments of the school. Similar buildings are at
the colored department.
During the past few years the kitchen has been covered with slate,
the laundry enlarged nearly 50 per cent and covered with slate; the
basement rooms of the main building and the boiler house have been
furnished with cement floors; sick wards have been provided in the
fourth story of the girls' building with modern conveniences, to be
used in case of contagious or infectious diseases ; plumbing has been
put into the rooms used for ordinary sickness, and neat covered-
ways connecting all the principal buildings have been constructed so
as to protect the students while passing from one building to another
during inclement weather.
The increased attendance has made it necessary to increase the
appropriation for maintenance, and the Legislature has made addi-
tions from time to time until the annual income is now .$72,500.
This is equivalent to only about $175 per child — an amount far less
than that used in any school for the blind in the United States. Fif-
teen years ago the allowance per child was more than $214. With
the increased cost of living, one can readily see how cramped must
be the financial condition.
A distinguished visitor to the State said recently in a public address
made at the annual meeting of the State Association of the Blind
held at Fayetteville : "Your school for the blind at Raleigh . . .
needs, and should have, more funds. In many respects it is the best of
the forty State schools for the blind in this country. It has more
pupils than any other State. It fits more of them for independence
than any other school. Between SO and 90 per cent of the pupils of
your school for the blind become self-supporting. No other State
makes such a showing, and no other of the forty schools has so little
142 State Educational Institutions.
money provided for the pupils as your State school. The money
spent in your State school for the blind is the best investment your
State ever made. Through its influence doubtless many blind are
now self-supporting, useful and happy citizens of your State, who
otherwise would be dependent on their family or friends, or be in-
mates of almshouses at the expense of the State.
"When I asked Dr. Fraser, the great educator of the blind, at
Halifax (Nova Scotia), after his recent visit to the schools for the
blind of this country, which he considered the best, he replied that
none was better than the school at Raleigh, and that he could not
understand how such a school could be run for such a small amount
of money. ... I am sure, when your people realize your needs
and the great work you are doing, they will come liberally to your
aid."
The school is now seriously haudicappetl for lack of room and of
funds. The present quarters are entirely too circumscribed. There
is no room for exercise grounds, and if any children need exercise, it
is the blind; nor is there any place for additional buildings. The
overcrowded condition of the buildings demands serious attention.
His Excellency, the Governor, recommended in his message to the
last General Assembly two years ago the purchase of 100 acres in the
suburbs of the city upon which to erect new buildings upon the cot-
tage system. This suggestion was emphasized by the State Board of
Internal Improvements, the State Board of Health, and the Board of
Charities.
No steps were taken, however, and the condition is much worse
than formerly, on account of the greatly increased attendance. The
situation is well-nigh alarming. It is hope<l that relief will soon be at
hand. Is it not deplorable that an institution doing such good work
should be hindered for lack of funds?
The literary work of the school may be well understood when it is
known that the course of study pursued is modeled after the report
made by the "Committee of Ten" appointed by the General Govern-
ment several years ago. and covers a thorough course in kindergarten,
primary, grammar, and high-school work, as good as that done in the
very best schools in the State.
One naturally wants to know what comes of all this. In general
terms 85 per cent of the graduates of the school are self-supporting,
School fob the Blind and the Deaf. 143
and a good many of tliem have accumulated a good competency.
Time and space will not permit a detailed statement. Let a few-
suffice. The musical directors of Salemburg Academy and of Anniston
(Alabama) Seminary are graduates of our school, and both totally
blind. A member of the Board of County Commissioners of Pamlico
County, a member of the Board of Education, and one of the most
influential citizens, is a graduate of our scliool, and totally blind. A
substantial merchant and mill man of Glass is another; a very suc-
cessful farmer of Alexander County is another ; until recently one of
the leading teachers in Caldwell County was another. Another is a
successful church organist in Wilmington ; the principal of one of the
high schools in Union County is another ; one is a successful merchant
in West Virginia ; one a newsdealer in New Bern ; one a bandmaster
and music teacher in Winston-Salem. There are many more of the
graduates who are filling honorable positions as public-school teachers,
music teachers, piano tuners, bandmasters, merchants, etc., etc. —
men and women who are a credit to the State and an honor to the
school.
The handicraft exhibits made at the State Fair for the past few
years have not only received universal praise, but have been awarded
the tirst premium over all schools exhibiting, and a gold medal for
leach of these years is in the hands of the Principal. The baud of the
school also makes music at the Fair each year.
A still greater honor was bestowed upon the school when the
Jamestown Exposition authorities selected the North Carolina School
for the Blind, out of all the schools for the blind in America, to make
a live exhibit at the Exposition. Both departments of this school
made exhibits, for which a gold me<lal was awarded each department,
and these medals are now in the possession of the management of
the school.
Some of our students have passed the examinations required by
the best colleges in our State, and have taken their degrees from
them. Only recently one young man, totally blind, took his A.B. de-
gree at our State University with honor, after which he went to
Harvard, from which he graduated with high distinction. The Bos-
ton papers have several times written him up as a '"wonderful blind
man." He has since taken his doctor's degree from Chicago Uni-
versity, and holds license to practice law from the University of
Tennessee.

THE NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL FOR THE [WHITE]
DEAF AND DUMB.
E. McK. Goodwin, Superintendent, Morganton.
In 1845 this State first attempted the education of her deaf and
dumb children, being the ninth State in the Union to undertake the
education of this class of children. The first year seven pupils were
admitted. Soon thereafter the blind children of the State were pro-
vided for under the same management, and the institution became the
School fob the Deaf and Dumb. 145
Institution for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind.
Both classes were admitted into the institution at Raleigh till the
Legislature of 1891 were made to realize that there was only a small
part of either class being educated, for up to that time only about 25
per cent were being even partially educated.
In 1891 the General Assembly passed an act creating and establish-
ing the North Carolina School for the Deaf and Dumb for the white
.race only, and located it at Morganton. The school was opened for
the reception of pupils in 1894. All the white deaf children then in
school at Raleigh were admitted to the new school, which had very
limited support then. There were only 102 present the iirst year, but
as soon as the Legislature made provision, the school admitted 162,
and the attendance has increased steadily till 262 were admitted last
year. But there are still, perhaps, 33 per cent of the eligible deaf
Children not in school, and there are many adult deaf in North Caro-
lina now entirely uneducated. It is a significant fact, however, that
this State has the largest attendance in proportion to her population
of any Southern State, and, indeed, compares favorably with the
Northern States in this respect.
The statute prescribes the public school course of the State, and
allows high school work for those who want to go to college.
In addition to the regular school work, we have four industrial
departments, for the boys, where they are given, as far as possible,
the knowledge of handicraft in the elementary branches. The four
departments for the boys are farming and gardening, woodwork and
carpentry, typesetting and printing, and shoemaking. The girls are
taught general domestic work, including cooking, plain sewing and
dressmaking. Primary handicraft is taught to the small children.
America leads the world in her provision for the education of the
deaf. From 1817, when the first school was established in America,
till about 1868, all the schools used the French system, which is the
manual or sign method ; but in 1868, the German or oral method was
introduced, and while the progress has been slow, the proportion has
constantly increased till at present about 75 per cent of all the deaf
children in the United States, now in school, are being taught by the
oral method. Many of these children learn to speak and read speech
of others, sufficiently to become invaluable to themselves and to the
great convenience of the members of their families. But even if
10

their speech is not natural nor good, the written language of the
orally taught deaf is more natural and smoother in expression than
that of the deaf taught manually.
The North Carolina School has two departments to meet the de-
mands, and is known in the profession as a combined school. Our
orally taught pupils become as adept "sign makers" as the manually
taught. They acquire the manual language by association with those
who sign and spell on their fingers. The orally taught get all the
manually taught get, and also what speech and speech-reading they
get from the system, beyond what those manually taught even claim
to get. Some of the largest and best schools for the deaf in America
are "pure oral" schools.
The North Carolina School has prepared a number of students for
Gallaudet College, where they have graduated with distinction. Many
of our former students have done well in the race of life, making a'
good living and good citizens.
Our school plant is worth at least $350,000, and our greatest needs
to-day are a hospital building and an adequate boiler-house and
industrial equipments. The school from its creation has had a broad
and liberal-minded board of directors of practical business men. The
present board is composed of Prof. M. H. Holt, president ; A. C.
Miller, J. L. Scott, Jr., Dr. I. P. Jeter, A. L. James, W. R. Whitsou.
and Dr. J. H. Mock. E. McK. Goodwin has been superintendent since
its establishment.
The school has now a staff of twenty-four regular grade teachers
and an educational principal, a supervising teacher in Goodwin Hall,
our new primary school, and four industrial teachers.
About 800 pupils have been enrolled since opening in 1894.

THE STONEWALL JACKSON MANUAL TRAINING AND

Walter Thompson, Superintendent.
The Stonewall Jacksou Manual Training and Industrial School
was established a few years ago as the result of the labors of many
public-spirited citizens who had advocated such an institution for a
number of years, and particularly as the result of the unceasing
efforts of the King's Daughters.
The legislative act creating the board of trustees and providing
for its conduct was passed at the session of 1907. The institution
opened January 12, 1909, with provision for 30 boys. The capacity
was soon increased to GO and will be increased to 90 early in the
year 1913. J. P. Cook. Concord, X. C, is chairman of the board of
trustees. Walter Thompson is superintendent. Value of buildings

STATE NORMAL SCHOOLS FOR THE COLORED RACE AND
FOR THE INDIANS OF ROBESON COUNTY.
J. A. BiviNs, Supervisor, Raleigh.
The State maintains three normal schools for the training of negro
teachers, and one for the training of teachers for the Indians of
Robeson County. The normal schools for the negroes are located at
Fayetteville, Elizabeth City, and Winston-Salem ; the school for the
Indians of Robeson County is located at Pembroke.
The first superintendent of these schools was Charles L. Coon,
elected in 1904. In January, 1907, he was succeeded by John Duckett,
who died November 16, 190S. J. A. Bivius has been superintendent
since January, 1909.
Most of the negro teachers in the sections where these schools are
located have received their training in these schools. Industrial
training, especially in domestic science, is required in all of them.
In the Slatej.- School at Winston-Salem shop and farm work are
taught. At Fayetteville shop and farm work are also taught to a
limited extent. These industrial features are not as successful as
they should be, owing to lack of funds. The salaries of the teachers
of domestic science in these schools are paid out of the Slater Fund,
for which purpose the trustees of this fund appropriate $1,200
annually.
There has been a gradual expansion in the plants and equipment
of these schools, as well as a satisfactory increase in attendance.
In addition to the new dormitory erected at Fayetteville two years
ago, costing $10,000, a handsome new dormitory was erected also at
Elizabeth City at a cost, for building and equipment, of about $20,000.
The remainder of the debt on the Slater property at Winston-Salem,
originally $12,000, was paid off two years ago. Since the erection of
the dormitory at Elizabeth City, the school has moved into its new
quarters in the suburbs of the city. The Normal School building,
which was erected in 190S, had remained unoccupied for lack of dor-
mitory facilities, while the school continued to be taught in the old
and very inadequate structure within the corporate limits of the city.
The school at Winston-Salem will erect a dormitory next year.
The trustees of the Indian Normal School at Pembroke by deed,
made and executed in the year 1911, conveyed the title and ownership

of their property to the State Board of Education. This property had
formerly belonged to the trustees of the Croatan Normal School, as it
was then styled. Prepai'ations are being made to erect a dormitory at
this school costing about $4,000, toward which amount the General
Assembly of 1911 appropriated $2,000.

Agriculttjkal and Mechanical College fob Negroes. 151
THE STATE AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE
FOR THE COLORED RACE.
James B. Dudley, President, Greensboro.
The Agricultural and Mechanical College for the Colored Race was
establishe<l by an act of the General Assembly of North Carolina,
ratified March 9, 1891. The leading object of the institution is de-
clared by the act to be instruction in practical agriculture, the me-
chanic arts, and such branches of learning as relate thereto.
The management and control of the college and the care and preser-
A-ation of all its property is vested in a board of trustees, consisting of
fifteen members, who are elected by the General Assembly, or ap-
pointed by the Governor, for a term of six years.
The trustees, by the act of the Legislature, have power to prescribe
rules for the management and preservation of good order and morals
at the college; to elect the president, instructors, and as many other
officers and servants as they shall deem necessary ; have charge of the
disbursements of the funds, and have general and entire supervision
of the establishment and maintenance of the college.
The financial support of the college for the payment of salaries and
purchase of apparatus and equipment is derived, for the most part,
from the United States, under an act of Congress, known as the
"Morrill Act." passed August 20. 1890. This act makes an annual
appropriation for each State and Territory for the endowment and
support of colleges for the benefit of agriculture and mechanic arts,
to be applied "only to instruction in agriculture, the mechanic arts,
the English language and the various branches of mathematics, physi-
cal, natural, and economic sciences, with special reference to their
application in the industries of life and to the facilities of such in-
struction."
The college also receives an appropriation from the State for general
maintenance, which cannot be provided for under the laws governing
the use of Federal appropriations.
The citizens of Greensboro donated fourteen acres of land and
$11,000, to be used in construction of buildings. In 1893 this was
supplemented by an appropriation of $10,000 by the General Assembly.
The main building, one of the finest school edifices in North Carolina,
was completed in 1893, and the school opened in the fall of that year.
152 State Educational Institutions.
Every negro who will observe the splendid record of success and of
usefulness which the graduates almost without exception are malting
must naturally feel grateful to the "Old North State" for the excellent
work that this Commonwealth is doing for the uplift of its negro citi-
zens. Every intelligent citizen, black or white, who will note the sub-
stantial interest and splendid support that this institution is receiving
from every State official and from the representatives of the people in
every Legislature, must admire the wise and liberal treatment North
Carolina is giving for the maintenance of helpful institutions for her
negro citizens, and ever appreciate the excellent results that are being
accomplished. It is certain no negro can study the important work
of this institution and its influence for the advancement of all people
without feeling a stronger sense of obligation to his State that he
should strive to be a better, truer, and more patriotic citizen of the
great State of North Carolina.
The institution is located in the eastern part of the city of Greens-
boro, about one mile from the railway station, upon an elevated tract
of about 25 acres of land. About a mile from the college the insti-
tution has a farm of 103% acres, most of which is under cultivation.
The college has four modern brick buildings, two barns, a small
dairy building, two small greenhouses, a piggery, and a few smaller
buildings.
The college has outgrown its facilities for instruction in mechanic
arts. The present equipment, w-hich is the original, with very few
additions, is wearing out and in some cases obsolete. The influence of
this department is far-reaching, as is evidenced by the work of the
graduates. Among the graduates of this institution are some of the
best and most progressive mechanics in North Carolina. There are
substantial evidences of their work in Raleigh. St. Agnes Hospital is
probably the most conspicuous. This building was erected by J. W.
Holmes, a graduate of the A. and M. College. He is superintendent
of industries at St. Augustine's School, Raleigh. The Tupper Memo-
rial Building at Shaw University was designed and built by G. A.
Edwards, a graduate of the A. and M. College. G. A. Edwards is in
chai-ge of the mechanical department at Shaw. There is a large
■demand for graduates in mechanics from this institution to organize
and take charge of the mechanical courses in the schools of the State,
showing that the other institutions are using the mechanical depart-
ment of the A. and M. College as a model. The superintendent and
Agkicultubal and Mechanical College fob Negroes. 153
manager of the Durham Textile Mills, C. C. Amey, is a graduate of
this institution. The negroes of the State are appreciating better
every day the advantages of this school as a trade school, and this is
due to the success of the trade students.
The A. and M. College, in order to keep its standard of instruction
and usefulness, will have to increase its etiuipmeut for instruction in
the trades. The etficiency of the mechanical department of the A.
and M. College would be greatly increased if provisions were made
for a thorough overhauling of such machines and tools as are now in
that department and the addition of a few new machines and tools to
meet the greatly increased demands for instruction.
For instruction in agriculture, the college has no building and
practically no facilities, yet the college has made greater advance-
ment and has achieved greater success along this than any other line.
The best evidence of the value of the instruction in agriculture as
given at the A. and M. College is found in the success of its graduates.
W. T. Johnson, a graduate, is running a very successful farm near
Greensboro, and is doing a thriving dairy business in the city. One
graduate in Cumberland County is clearing over $1,000 a year on his
farm ; a graduate of the class of 1908, who is operating his own farm
in Cumberland County, has recently organized a dairy company in
Fayetteville which is doing a thriving business. Another graduate of
the class of 1907, who has been running his own farm of 100 acres in
Chatham County, has recently been appointed farm demonstrator by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture for Guilford County. In a civil
service examination held last year to secure eligibles for the appoint-
ment of a teacher of agriculture at the Carlisle Indian School, one of
our graduates stood the highest and received the appointment. A
number of our graduates are employed in dairy industries. A member
of the class of 1910 is employed by the Rennie Dairy Company, of
Richmond, Va., as buttermaker. This company churns over 1,000
gallons of cream daily. A graduate of the class of 1907 is employed
as head teacher at the Voorhees Normal and Industrial School in
South Carolina ; one is superintendent of a 1.200-acre farm at the
Brick School, Edgecombe County ; another is running his own farm in
Alamance County ; a graduate of the class of 1902 is florist at Tuske-
gee Institute, Tuskegee, Ala. ; another has charge of the orchards, and
still another is in charge of the live-stock department at that famous
institution.
154 State Educational Institutions.
Several gi-aduates are teaching in agricultural schools. One is in
charge of the agricultural department of the Colored A. and M. Col-
lege of West Virginia, and one of the graduates of the class of 1909
is teaching in the State Normal School at Fayetteville, X. C. Until
recently one of our graduates had charge of the agricultural depart-
ment in the State Normal School for negroes at Frankfort, Ky. A
number. of our graduates are farming and teaching rural schools
during the winter months. A graduate in Halifax County is one
of the few colored teachers who has succeeded in establishing a rural
library in connection with his school.
The number of students in the agricultural department has in-
creased fivefold in the past five years, which goes to show that the
thoughtful colored boy is recognizing the fact that farming offers
better inducements than any other line of industry, and he is, there-
fore, seeking training to that end.
All of the graduates of last year's class were from the agricultural
department. These students come directly from the farm for the
purpose of getting instruction in the modern methods of farming in
order to produce maximum crops at a minimum cost. It is a business
proposition to them, pure and simple. They are seeking an education
in order to increase their productive capacity. Every time the A. and
M. College increases the productive capacity of a student, it increases
the productive capacity of the State, and thereby increases the wealth
of the State to that extent. Therefore, every dollar exjiended by the
State in increasing the productive capacity of its colored citizens is a
business proposition in the present sense.
In order that the A. and M. College may meet the demands made
upon it for instruction in agriculture, it is necessary that a building
and equipment be provided for this purpose similar to that already
provided by the State for instruction in the mechanic arts. Money
invested by the State for this purpose will, in course of time, revert
to the State in the form of taxes from increased agricultural devel-
opment.

CENTRAL HOSPITAL FOR THE INSANE.
J. L. PicoT, M.D., Superintendent, Raleigh.
The State Hospital at Raleigh is situated one mile directly south-
west of the city of Raleigh, just over the city's boundary line. The
ht)use was erected on the apex of the watershed between Walnut
Creek on the south and Rocky Branch on the north and is drained
in the best natural sanitary manner possible.
Every one knows that this institution was built for the unfortunate
of North Carolina by the unceasing and persistent efforts of Miss
Dorothy Dix, who appeared before the Legislature in 1S48, and by the
effective help and eloquent plea of the Hon. James C. Dobbin, of Fay-
etteville, the passage of the bill was secured by a vote of a hundretl
and one yeas and ten nays.
The act provided for the appointment of six commissioners — Hon-
orables John M. Morehead, of Guilford; Calvin Graves, of Caswell;
T. N. Cameron, of Cumberland ; G. W. Mordecai, of Wake ; C. L. Hiu-
ton, of Wake, and G. O. Watson, of Johnston — to select and purchase
a tract of land upon which to erect a building for the purpose of
providing for the insane. These commissioners did their work with-
out compensation, and that they did it well is manifested by the ele-
gant and substantial structure upon this site.
In 1S56 the building was near enough to completion for the first
board of directors to instruct Dr. E. C. Fisher to order in 40 patients,
Dr. Fisher having been elected superintendent by the board. Dr.
Fisher held this office until July 7, 18G8. when he was superseded by
Dr. Eugene Grissom. Dr. Grissom held the office until succeeded by
Dr. William K. Wood, of Halifax County, who remained in office but
a short w^hile, and was succeeded by Dr. George L. Kirby, who died
of itneumonia in February, 1901. Dr. James McKee was elected the
following March as his successor. He died in office in 1912 and was
succeeded by Dr. J. L. Picot.
The Legislatures have gradually awakened to the necessity of pro-
viding for the insane. The legislature of 1904 gave the Hospital
?40,UOO, and with it a more commodious fireproof building was
erected, with a capacity of 80 additional female patients. The Legis-
lature of 1907 enacted a law providing for a Hospital Commission,
and gave them $500,000 to add to the building and erect upon the
160 State Charitable Institutions.
grounds such structures as would be conducive to the comfort and
restoration of the health of the insane. A storehouse was the first
building i)ut up by the commission, at a cost of $4,200 ; then a car-
penter shop at a cost of $3,800. Next an annex for 100 men, at a cost
of $48,265. Out of the $500,000 appropriation the Legislature re-
quired them to pay for the Grimes land, 1,136 acres, at a cost of
$53,500.
In 190S the commission disbursed the following amounts : In Feb-
ruary, $11,405.75 for heating, plumbing, sewer pipes, sewers, and an
addition to complete storeroom ; in October, 1908, one building for
women, $21,900; three groups of buildings, making nine, at $14,813
apiece, one of these groups being for male convalescent patients, and
the other two male and female epileptic, respectively, and with the
cost of sewer and pipe connection with the A. and M. College, costing
$500, aggregating $66,919.

WESTERN HOSPITAL FOR THE INSANE.
John McCampbell, M.D., Superintendent, Morganton.
The State Hospital at Morganton was founded in 1875, but was not
regularly opened for the reception of patients until 18S3. At the
time of its opening, it had a capacity of about 225 patients. Com-
pletion of the north wing brought the capacity up to 420 beds. From
time to time buildings have been added until the entire plant now
comprises ten buildings for patients, with a total capacity of approxi-
mately 1,250 beds. The present population, including those away on
parol, is 1,309. The demand for admission is far in excess of the
capacity of the house, and more than one-third of those applying
have to be rejected for lack of room. The hospital is in sore need of
increased capacity and better facilities for the treatment of acute
cases. The annual appropriation for support during the past two
years has been $195,000, which, with strict economy, has been
sufficient.

NORTH CAROLINA SANATORIUM FOR THE TREATMENT OF
TUBERCULOSIS.*
M, E. Stkeet, M.D., Superintendent, Aberdeen, X. C.
The North Carolina Sanatorium for the Treatment of Tuberculosis
was authorized by an act of the General Assembly of 1907. For this
purpose the General Assembly appropriated the sum of $15,000 for
construction and $5,000 annual maintenance. The sum of $7,750 was
expended for land amounting to 950 acres. Three buildings were
begun in 1908, consisting of one two-story pavilion, 46x68, which
would accommodate about 35 patients when completed, a kitchen
and dining-room, diuing-room to accommodate 20 patients, and one
three-room cottage for help to live in. A part of this tract of land
consists of a farm with an eight-room farmhouse; there are about
60 acres in cultivation.
The General Assembly of 1909 appropriated $30,000 to continue the
work of construction and increased the annual maiutenance to $7,500.
This enabled the institution to install power plant, to furnish lights
and pump water — a complete water system; plenty pure fresh water
is furnished from two deep wells, one of these wells being 225 feet and
the other 245 feet; plumbing in all the buildings, a complete sewer
system; finish the buildings begun with the first appropriation,
and erect the following new buildings: One two-story pavilion to
accommodate about 20 patients; one large club-house for amusement
of such patients as can take exercise; one fourteen-room nurses'
building, superintendent's cottage, four-room cottage for colored help,
four-room cottage for electrician at power plant, fumigating-room
and crematory. A large kitchen and dining-hall to accommodate 100
patients are in course of construction, with funds in hand to pay for
same. Also, repairs on farmhouse, for the fencing of 300 acres of
land, including farm and 200 acres in park; 50 acres have been
parked ; and development of farm, and a dairy. Three hundred and
twenty-five acres of land were purchased with the last appropriation
for $1,200, making in all 1,275 acres of land.

NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL FOR THE FEEBLE-MINDED.
Ira M. Hardy, M.D., Superintendent, Kinston.
According to the Constitution of North Carolina, Article II, section
9, the North Carolina School for the Feeble-minded was authorized
by an act of the General Assembly of 1911 by a State bond issue of
$(30,000 to begin the work.
On account of the limited amount of bonds issued, the trustees
decided to ask communities to make bids for the location of said
school. After a spirited contest between several communities the
county of Lenoir, through a committee of seventeen of its represent-
ative citizens, raised a considerable amount of money and bought
847 acres of land and donated it to the school, together with free
electric lights from the power plant at Kinston for a period of five
years. The board of trustees later bought 49 acres of land, making a
total of 895 acres of land. On this laud there are a number of good
farm buildings which can be used to good advantage by the institu-
tion. The value of the gift is not less than $25,000, which does not
include a side-track 3,000 feet long, from the railroad to the power-
house, which the Norfolk and Southern Railway Company donated;
estimated cost of building $5,000; making a total valuation of the
property donated $80,000.
On this property is flowing artesian water. The land is part of the
old Richard Caswell grant, near where his remains lie, located a mile
and a quarter from Kinston, on the Norfolk and Southern Railroad at
Hines Junction, and on the Central Highway that leads from Beau-
fort to Waynesville.

State Charitable Institutions.
The buildings are on a semi-circular plan, 2,000 feet from the high-
way, on a hill facing the south, the railroad, and the highway, and
present a commanding appearance. There will be four substantial
and permanent buildings in the first group. The main building will
contain a dining-room, a matron's ofBce, and eight sleeping rooms.
The kitchen is located in the rear of this building and is connected
to it by a covered walkway. There will be a dormitory on each side
of the central building, one for boys and one for girls, to accommodate
about sixty-five each.
The superintendent already has in hand six times as many applica-
tions for admission as the institution will accommodate. This insti-
tution takes a class that no other institution in the State cares for,
namely, imbeciles, idiots, backward and feeble-minded children. This
institution is a part of the State's great system of public education.
OXFORD ORPHAN ASYLUM.
R. L. Brown, Superintendent, Oxford.
In the year 1S72 the Oxford Orphan Asylum was established by the
Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Order of Masons of
North Carolina.
It was the first institution of its character established in the State
and one of the first in the South.
This property was originally the old St. John's College, and was
established in 1S55 by the Grand Lodge of North Carolina for educa-
tional purposes. After being tried for a number of years and proving
a failure financially, the Grand Lodge in 1S72 decided to turn the
property into a home for the orphan children of the State.
This was accomplished largely through the instrumentality of John
H. Mills, who offered the resolution at the meeting of the Grand
Lodge and worked for its adoption without very great encouragement.
It was, therefore, quite fitting that he should have been chosen to be
the first superintendent of the orphanage.
The purpose of the institution is to provide a temporary home and
ti-aining school for the homeless boys and girls of the State.
The conditions of admission of the white children of North Caro-
line are : That they are really destitute and homeless ; that they are
of sound mind and body ; and they are not under six years of age or
over twelve.
Oxford Orphan Asylum. 165
The benefits of Oxford Orphan Asylum have never been restricted to
the children of Masons alone. Only about one-eighth or 12^2 per cent
of its children had fathers who were Masons.
About 2,850 children have received the care and training of the
institution since 1872.
The institution is providing the necessities of life for these children,
the opportunity to acquire an English education, industrial training
in cottages, kitchen, sewing-room, laundry, shoeshop, printing office,
telegraphy and typewriting, woodworking shop, dairy, and on farm.
Each child is in school at least the half of each school day during the
school term of nine months. Moral and religious instruction is
prominent in the work.
In recognition of the services of the Oxford Orphan Asylum, its
value to our Commonwealth in its work, the State of North Carolina
appropriates ?10,000 annually to aid in its maintenance and extension.
Annually a report of the operations of the institution is made to
the Governor of the State and to the State Board of Public Charities.
At the request of the Grand Lodge of Masons, the State of North
Carolina is represented by three members on the board of directors
of the Orphanage. These are appointed by the Governor of the State.

THE SOLDIERS' HOME.*
Capt. W. S. Linebekby, Superintendent, Raleigh.
So far as can be ascertained from the records on file in ttie office of
the Soldiers' Home, a home for indigent Confederate soldiers was
first established in a rented house at the corner of Polk and Blood-
worth streets, in the city of Raleigh, and declared to be opened on
October 15, 1890, with five inmates. W. C. Stronach, under the
auspices of the Daughters of the Confederacy, acted as superintendent,
and looked after the personal comforts of the men.
The General Assemblj- of 1891, chapter GO, Private Laws, incor-
porated Gen. Robert F. Hoke, Col. William L. Saunders, Col. A. B.
Andrews, Capt. S. A. Ashe, Gen. Rufus Barringer, Gen. A. M. Scales,
Gen. Robert B. Vance, Gen. Thomas L. Cliugman, Gen. W. P. Roberts,
Gen. Julian S. Carr, Capt. Thomas J. Jarvis, Col. W. P. Wood, Gen.
Matt W. Ransom and other members of the Confederate Veterans'
Association, under the name and style of "The Soldiers' Home Asso-
ciation," and conferred upon this association the usual corporate
powers. The act gave to the Soldiers' Home Association a tract of
laud near the eastern section of the city of Raleigh, known as Camp
Russell, to be used for the purposes of a Soldiers' Home, and, if it
should cease to be so used, to revert to and belong to the State. The
same act appropriated $3,000 for the maintenance of the Soldiers'
Home and the support of its inmates. Section 6 of the act is as
follows :
"The directors shall cause to be kept a minute-book of the home, in
which full entries shall be kept concerning memorable incidents in the
lives of its inmates. They shall also take steps to form a museum of
Confederate relics and to perpetuate such historical records of the
Confederate soldiers of North Carolina as they shall find it practi-
cable to do."
The act was ratified February 14, 1901.
On April 27, 1891, the number of inmates of the Soldiers' Home
having increased to 9, they were removed to an old building at Camp
Russell which had been fitted up for the purposes of the home. Miss
Mary Williams was appointed matron and served in that capacity
until February 15, 1893, when Capt. J. H. Fuller was made resident

superintendent. On February 1, 1S9S, Superintendent Fuller resigned.
Feebleness of age and the increase in number of inmates had made
the duties too arduous for one of his strength.
Capt. R. H. Brooks was elected to succeed Captain Fuller, and
served until his death on June 14, 1910. The number of inmates con-
tinued to increase during his term, and the necessity for new and larger
buildings became urgent. A, dormitory was built to accommodate
70 inmates, and furnished by liberal donations from the Daughters
of the Confederacy and others. A large hospital was built, medical
attention given, nurses employed, water, sewerage, and electric lights
provided and the grounds made attractive. Such heavy expense
exceeded the appropriation made by the State, and at the close of
Captain Brooks' term the books showed the home to be in arrears to
the extent of $6,000 ; but all felt confident that the Legislature would
provide for the deficiency.
The present superintendent, Capt. W. S. Lineberry, was elected to
succeed Captain Brooks, and entered upon his duties July 20, 1910.
An appropriation of $30,000 was made by the Legislature of 1911
for the support of the home, and a further appropriation of $3,500 for
the construction of an additional building of ten rooms, which has
been completed and is now occupied. The home is now out of debt ;
the buildings bright with new paint ; the grounds ornamented with
trees and shrubbery, and the walks clean. The old comrades are, as a
rule, contented. The fare is good, the rooms comfortable, the regula-
tions reasonable, and an air of cheerfulness pervades. All this has
come from the humble beginning of October, 1890.

THE NORTH CAROLINA RAILROAD COMPANY.
A. H. Eller, Secretary and Treasurer *
The greatest of all enterprises so far attempted by the State of
North Carolina in the nature of a public or internal improvement
was the building of the North Carolina Railroad from Goldsboro by
way of Raleigh, Greensboro and Salisbury, to Charlotte.
Considering the experimental state of railroading at that time, the
dread of public or private indebtedness, and the limited resources,
the movement was a monumental enterprise — and one in advance of
anything attempted by almost any other State in the Union. The
success, however, which has crowned the labors and sacrifices of our
fathers has established beyond all question that their wisdom was
equal to, or superior to, any displayed before or since their day.
In 1S33, the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad Company and the Wil-
mington and Raleigh, afterwards known as the Wilmington and Wel-
don Railroad Company, were chartered, and later these roads were
built. In 1848 the former was in the hands of the State, and was in
a bankrupt condition for the want of patronage. It was necessary to
give it some connection, or to extend it. At the session of November,
1S4S, the western counties urged a charter for a road from Charlotte
to Danville, asking no State aid; but the eastern members opposed
that project. The finances of the State were in such an impoverished
condition that it was generally deemed impracticable for the State
to give any considerable aid to any railroad ; but William S. Ashe,
the Democratic Senator from New Hanover, introduced a bill to con-
struct a road from Goldsboro to Charlotte, under the name of tlie
North Carolina Railroad, and appropriating two millions of dollars
for that purpose, on condition, however, that private parties could
subscribe one million, and to secure the payment of the State bonds
when issued, a lien was given on the State's stock.
When the western men brought up the Charlotte and Danville bill
in the House, Stanley and other eastern men opposed it so bitterly
that it could not pass, and then in a dramatic scene, the friends of
internal improvement agreed to send to the Senate and take the
Ashe bill from the files and offer it as a substitute. After a great and

prolonged struggle the bill passed the House of Commous. lu the
Senate it failed by an adverse majority of one ; but the Senator from
Cumberland was led to support it by passing the bill for the State
to build the plank road from Fayetteville to Salem ; and then the vote
in the Senate was a tie. Speaker Graves, who had up to that mo-
ment maintained an impenetrable silence as to the measure, broke
the tie in favor of building the road by State aid ; and the measure
was passed. Speaker Graves was never again elected to any office by
the vote of his people.
To secure the needed one million of private stock, Speaker Graves,
Govei'nor Morehead. and Mr. William Boylan made great exertions,
and by their efforts, aided by Joseph Caldwell. Governor "W. A. Gra-
ham, Paul C. Cameron, and others, the necessary stock was eventually
raised. On January 29, 18.56, the railroad was ready for passage of
trains from Goldsboro to Charlotte, and charters had been granted
for two other roads — from Goldsboro to Morehead City, and from
Salisbury to the Tennessee line.
By act, ratified 14th of February, 1855, the General Assembly in-
creased the capital stock to $4,000,000, and subscribed for the State
the whole of the added capital. From that time till now the State
has owned three-fourths, and individuals one-fourth of this road.
The first president of the company was Governor John M. More-
head, to whom so much was due for securing the subscription of the
private stock, and under his direction the road was constructed. His
successors were Charles F. Fisher, of Rowan ; Paul C. Cameron,
Josiah Turner, Jr.. of Orange, and William A. Smith, of Johnston.
During the administration of Mr. Smith the road was, on the 11th
day of September, 1871, leased to the Richmond and Danville Rail-
road Company for thirty years, at a rental of 6 per cent per annum.
The subsequent presidents of the company have been : Thomas M.
Holt, Lee S. Overman, S. B. Alexander, J. F. Kornegay, R. M. Xor-
ment, J. L. Armstrong, H. G. Chatham, Charles M. Stedmau, and
Bennehan. Cameron.
On the 16th day of August, 189.5, in view of the approaching termi-
nation of the lease, the property was leased to the Southern Railway
Company for a term of ninety-nine years, at an annual rental of 6i4
per cent for six years and 7 per cent for the remaining ninety-three
years, and the stock of the company was selling at $186 per share
until the panic of 1907.
North Carolina Railroad. 173
On the readjustment of the debt of the State, the State renewed
the bonds issued for the purchase of the North Carolina Railroad
stock, pledging the original lien on the stock for the payment of the
debt.
Col. Peter B. RufRn, for more than thirty years, was the faithful
and efficient secretary and treasurer of the company.
The secretaries of the company in the order of their election and
service are as follows : Cyrus P. Mendenhall, Julius B. Ramsey. R.
M. Mills, F. A. Stagg, J. A. McCauley, W. F. Thornburg, P. B. Ruffin,
H. B. Worth, Spencer B. Adams, D. H. McLean, and A. H. Eller.
The State, as is well known, has continued to own its $3,000,000
of the original capital stock, and has acquired two (2) additional
shares, thus giving it 80,002 shares at par value, amounting to $3,000,-
200. which, however, at the recent market value aggregates $5,580,372.
And it is confidently believed that if the State desired to part with a
controlling interest in the company, its stock would command a mucli
greater price, and those who have watched the constant advance in
the price of this stock expect it to go to $200 ijer share at an early
day.
Under the lease of 1871 to the Richmond and Danville Railroad
Company, the company could not have claimed the betterments made
by the lessee; but under the present lease the company is not only
amply secured by bond for the prompt payment of its lease money
and organization expenses, to wit, $143,000 on the first day of Janu-
ary and July of each j-ear, but upon the termination of said lease for
any cause, the company acquires the betterments made thereon.
In addition to the railroad and rolling stock leased to the Southern
Railway Company, the company still owns valuable lands in and
about Company Shops, now known as the city of Burlington.
When the Board of Directors, appointed by Governor Aycock, took
charge of the company's affairs, there was a floating indebtedness of
$10,000. The May balance, 1912, of the present secretary and treas-
urer shows that said indebtedness has been paid and a special dividend
of % of 1 per cent, amounting to $20,000, and the company has to its
credit in the bank the sum of $21,128.64, all of which, except a small
balance, is drawing 4 per cent interest. Again on August 1, 1912,
an extra % of 1 per cent dividend, amounting to $20,000 was paid.
Promptly upon the payment of the lease money on the first of January
174 Miscellaneous.
and July in each year, the directors declare a dividend and the secre-
tary and treasurer pays to the State Treasurer immediately $105,000,
and like dividend is paid to the private stockholders on the first day
of February and August of each year. The present Board of Direct-
ors, as appointed by Governor Kitchin on the part of the State, are
given below. The State's proxy is Jo. M. Reese; the expert is John
W. Thompson, and the company's attorney is Frank R. McNinch.
A true sketch of this company would be incomplete without calling
attention to the long and invaluable services of Gen. R. F. Hoke as
director. His experience and great knowledge of affairs, and lifelong
devotion to the best interest of the company, entitle him to the grati-
tude of the State, as well as the private stockholders. His death on
July 3, 1912, was deeply and universally lamented.
The question is sometimes asked why the organization of the North
Carolina Railroad Company is kept up, and what particular functions
it performs.
This company, as some people think, does not belong to the State
of North Carolina. It is a g««s/-public corporation like all other
railroad companies, in which the State owns three-fourths of the
stock. It is managed practically as any private corporation would be
managed, the principal difference being that the Governor has the
appointment of eight of the directors, while the private stockholders
have the election of four of the directors.
The organization is maintained for the purpose of enforcing the
terms of the lease to the Southern Railway Company, and, in case of
the termination of that lease for any cause, to resume the operation
of the road.
It is required to see that the bonds given for the prompt payment of
the rent, and also the bond to maintain the rolling stock in good condi-
tion, are kept in force. It receives the rent money of $280,000 per
year, payable semiannually, and declares a dividend and pays the
same to the stockholders of record. It transfers stock like other
corporations.
In leasing its property to the Southern Railway Company it re-
served its office building, which is the residence of the secretary and
treasurer, containing its vault and records, at Burlington, N. C. It
owns certain real estate in and about the city of Burlington, which is
sold by its land committee from time to time.
The secretary and treasurer is required to give a bond in the sum of
Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad. 175
$50,000 and his books and accounts are audited by a finance com-
mittee at stated times. It is required to file a report annually with
the State Corporation Commission and one with the Interstate Com-
merce Commission as other railroad companies must do. It also re-
ports its income for Federal taxation like other corporations. Its
stock is the most valuable holding that the State of North Carolina
has amongst its assets, and whether it will be the policy of the State
to hold its stock perpetually or to dispose of the same, is a matter
for the legislatures of the future.

THE ATLANTIC AND NORTH CAROLINA RAILROAD COMPANY.
D. J. Broadhurst, Secretary and Treasurer, Goldsboro.
The Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad was chartered by the
General Assembly of North Carolina in 1852, duration of the charter
being ninety-nine years. The charter was amended in 1854 and 1855.
Work on the railroad was begun shortly afterwards, and pushed to
completion from Goldsboro to a point on the seacoast now known as
Morehead City, a distance of 95 miles, in 1858.
176 Miscellaneous.
Not having tbe necessary data at hand, I state from memory, and
from information gained from other sources, the names of the different
presidents of the railroad company, in the order of their service
from the beginning up to the time when the railroad was leased to
the Rowland Improvement Company, during the administration of
Hon. C. B. Aycock as Governor of North Carolina, on September 1,
1904, as follows: John D. Whitford, Charles R. Thomas, John D.
Whitford, E. R. Stanley, R. W. King, L. W. Humphrey, John Hughes,
John D. Whitford, Washington Bryan, W. S. Chadwick, Robert
Hancock, D. W. Patrick, James A. Bryan.
The road was capitalized at ?1,800,(X)0 ; the par value of the stock
was fixed at $100 per share. The State of North Carolina owns
12,660 shares of the stock. The county of Craven owns 1,293 shares,
the county of Lenoir owns 500 shares, the county of Pamlico owns 202
shares. The balance of the stock of the road is owned by private
individuals. The equipment of the road was by no means complete
when the War Between the States began, ISOl, and by reason of the
fact that a good portion of the road was under the control of the
Federal arms from the fall of New Bern in 1862 to the close of the
M-ar in 1865, the road when turned over to its rightful owners was
little more, if any, than a burden to carry, which was in part the
cause of no returns to the stockholders on their investments for thirty-
four years after the road was constructed. Prior to the lease of
the road to the Rowland Improvement Company dividends were
declared on the capital stock as follows :
September, 1892 2 per cent.
August, 1893 2 per cent.
September, 1894 2 per cent.
September, 1896 2 per cent.
February, 1897 1 Per cent.
October, 1897 ' 1 Per cent.
June, 1898 1 Per cent.
December, 1898 1 Per cent.
September, 1899 2 per cent.
During the administration of the Hon. T. J. Jarvis, Governor of
North Carolina, the railroad was leased to W. J. Best, who had
control and operated same for a short time only, and then turned it
back to its rightful owner.
Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad. 177
There is an outstanding bonded indebtedness against the road of
$325,000, bearing interest at 6 per cent per annum, the interest pay-
able semiannually. Bonds for same were issued in 1887 and will
mature in 1917. During the last year of the presidency of James
A. Bryan, two suits were instituted in the Federal Court for the
Eastern District of North Carolina for the appointment of receiv-
ers of the road — first by K. S. Finch of New York, and the sec-
ond by John P. Cuyler of New Jersey. Receivers were appointed
in both cases, but relief was granted by higher courts. Since the
execution of the lease of the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad to
the Rowland Improvement Company the following named gentlemen
have served as president of the company in the order of their
service, viz. : Jesse W. Grainger, Samuel W. Ferribee, and L. P.
Tapp. Dividends on the capital stock since the execution of the
lease have been declared as follows :
December, 1904 1 percent.
August, 1905 1| per cent.
February, 1906 1 percent.
July, 1906 H per cent.
February, 1907 H per cent. '

The vast amount of unsettled business in which the Atlantic and
North Carolina Railroad Company was in any way interested at the
time the Rowland Improvement Company, "lessees," assumed control
of the railroad, was very largely adjusted during the first two years.
The expiration of the third year of the lease found only a small
amount of difference to be looked after, which in time was settled.
Suit was brought in the Superior Court of Craven County in 1906,
to annul the lease to the Rowland Improvement Company, resulting
in a decision upholding the lease, which decision was affirmed by the
Supreme Court.

178 Miscellaneous.
The contract for lease with the Howlaud Improvement Company
terminates in ninety-one years and four months from the date of its
execution, and the stipulations contained in same have, up to the
last meeting of the stockholders of the Atlantic and North Carolina
Railroad Company, in 1912, been largely complied with, as will be
seen from the annual reports to the stockholders' meeting of the
president, treasurer, and expert of the lessor company. The Atlantic
and North Carolina Railroad has, with some other short lines in
Eastern North Carolina, been merged into and now forms part of the
Norfolk Southern Railway system.
THE NORTH CAROLINA AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
Joseph E. Pogue, Secretary, Raleigh.
The North Carolina Agricultural Society, which operates the State
Fair annually at Raleigh in the third week of October, was char-
tered by special act of the Legislature more than a half century ago,
"to provide a place for the holding of annual fairs, in order that the
citizens may be encouraged by exhibitions, premiums, and other
means to develop and improve the productions of agriculture, and
every species of native industry ; and to this end, and for these great
and valuable i^urposes, and to no other, shall the corporation apply
all the funds which by any means it may acquire."
No capital stock was provided for in that charter. Various public-
spirited citizens of the State loaned to the society a sum of money
sufficient to purchase grounds and erect buildings for the purposes of
an annual fair, taking therefor the bonds of the society. The real
property, pledged to secure this bonded debt, is held in trust. The
bonded debt was originally $26,500, but was reduced in 1905 to
$22,000, and refunded for twenty years at 5 per cent, instead of 6 per
cent, the former rate. These bonds are now generally held at par
value.
Any profits made in the operation of the fair go into a surplus
fund, which is spent in permanent improvements of all kinds at the
fair grounds, for increased premiums, and other betterments that go
toward making the fair more and more complete.
North Carolina Agricultural Society. 179
The present fair grounds are just west of the city of Raleigh, at the
terminus of the electric street-car line. They were purchased about
thirty-six years ago, and cover more than 60 acres of land, in one of
the most desirable sections of Raleigh's suburbs. The society has a
number of large buildings on these grounds, some of which were
erected at the time this site was acquired. The others have been put
up within the last few years.
The new grandstand was built a half dozen years ago with a seat-
ing capacity of about 2,000. This is a very substantial structure,
with a metal roof, and is now in excellent condition. Last year its
seating capacity was considerably enlarged by the addition of bleach-
ers reaching from the front of the stand down almost to the race-
track fence, and extending almost the width of the grandstand.
Several years ago a shed, covei'ed with a metal roof, 48 x 200 feet,
was put up for the accommodation of the exhibitors of large farm
machinery. It proved a great boon to these exhibitors, and is much
appreciated by the general public.
In 1910 a modern reinforced concrete building, 60 x 150 feet, was
erected especially for the use of exhibitors of agricultural and horti-
cultural products. This is a very handsome addition to the equip-
ment of the grounds, being up-to-date in its appearance, and well
arranged and convenient in its appointments.
The following year another building of the same size, also of
modern fireproof construction, was built for the housing of poultry.
It harmonizes perfectly as to architecture with the agricultural
building just spoken of, and in its arrangement and lighting facilities
offers all the advantages which the best experience of years has
brought into use in such buildings.
Among other recent improvements might be mentioned the widening
three times of the midway within the last dozen years, to afford room
for the ever-increasing crowds, and the macadamizing of this thorough-
fare; the overhauling, and remodeling of the Arts and Crafts build-
ing, known as Floral Hall ; the addition of about one hundred new-
box stalls for the accommodation of exhibit and race horses ; the
wiring of the buildings for electric lights; the extension of the city
water pipes into the grounds, and the consequent providing of running
water throughout.
180 Miscellaneous.
The auditing committee of the society, in their report last year,
took occasion to state that after a brief but comprehensive review of
the expenditures on the fair grounds since January, 1900, they found
that the present management had paid out, in round figures, nearly
$30,000 for permanent improvements. In this connection the auditing
committee also found that during that period about $13,000 had been
paid out for past-due coupons, bonds paid and canceled, unpaid debts,
and premiums due from former fairs.
Altogether, it may be said in the most conservative terms that the
fair has grovpn from modest beginnings, until in recent years, just as
the Old North State is taking her proper place among the foremost-
Commonwealths of the Union, her State Fair is taking rank with the
leading institutions of its kind in the country. Moreover, it has been
gaining more and more the enthusiastic support, cooperation, and
advice of men in all industries of the State, a thing that is absolutely
necessary for the making of a larger and a greater fair.
It is the intention of the management to continue to put up new
permanent buildings as fast as the profits from the fairs will permit,
or the public policy of the State towards her agricultural and indus-
trial interests as expressed at the State Fair will make possible,
finally replacing all of the old wooden structures with buildings that
are adapted to the rapidly increasing needs of the more and more
representative exhibits that are year by year demanding in tones less
and less mistakable larger and better accommodations.
Some definite idea of the tremendous growth of the fair during the
last few years may be gathered from the fact that in one year the
number of solid car-loads of exhibits jumped from 42 to S3, and the
number of separate entries from 1,201 in 1909 went to 3,501 in 1910,
and 4,136 in 1911.
As to attendance, no other occasion in North Carolina draws any-
thing like the throngs that visit the "Great State Fair" at the Capital
City each year. The railroads for years have been putting on special
rates and extra trains to handle the crowds.
Keeping pace with the most modern methods of stimulating the
efforts to produce better and better crops of all kinds, the manage-
ment during the last few years has instituted the corn contest feature
for boys, cotton contests for men and boys, the tomato contest for
girls, and still more and larger prizes for county and individual
exhibits and agricultural products.
North Carolina Agricultural, Society. 181
The list of great National live-stock associations offering their
special premiums at the State Fair keeps growing longer as the years
go by, and in the case of one of the most prominent of these associa-
tions the North Carolina State Fair is honored among only four
Southern fairs. It is thus apparent that the State Fair is recognized
as one of the greatest gathering points for pure-bred live stock in the
South.
For years the management has been working away from the big
midway and little exhibit condition of a fair back to the fundamental
purpose of its existence, the competition of the best to make better,
until the executive committee, upon the recommendation of the secre-
tary, resolved unanimously that all questionable shows and doubtful
games be absolutely forbidden in the grounds, and so gave a clear
field to the best shows in the country offering legitimate amusement
as well as educational features, and reached far toward the final rung
of the climax, the ideal State Fair, which shall be the meeting place
of agriculture and industry, a delightful outing for all the members
of the family, a summer school for the men and women and boys and
girls, the best short course in agriculture in the State, a great indus-
trial exchange, a university of experience and experiment, an annual
advertisement of the greatness of a great State.
THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE CAPITOL.
On the morning of June 21, 1831, the State Capitol of North Caro-
lina was destroyed by fire. Though the public records of the State
were saved, the State Library, containing many valuable books and
manuscripts, was lost.
The citizens of Raleigh naturally bemoaned the destruction of the
building, but Governor Stokes did not regard it as a great loss. In
his opinion there were some mitigating circumstances. In his mes-
sage to the General Assembly, when it met the following November,
he said that the calamity was not so great, because the old State-
house, built in 1794, was almost ready to tumble down of its own
accord, and that perhaps many valuable lives had been saved by its
being destroyed by fire instead of tumbling down on the Legislature
while in session.
182 Miscellaneous.
At once Senator Seawell, of "Wake, brought forward a bill pro-
viding for the erection of a new Capitol on the site of the old one.
At the same time a similar bill was introduced in the House of Com-
mons. As there was a strong sentiment in the State favorable to the
removal of the capital from Raleigh to Fayetteville, these two bills
to rebuild at Raleigh met with vigorous opposition. Accordingly
Senator Seawell's bill was quickly disposed of. Senator Wilson, of
Edgecombe, moved to table it, and it was tabled. The House bill
was longer discussed. The discussion was prolonged for two days,
but on a yea and nay vote the bill failed, 65 to 68. The Assembly
of 1831 refused to rebuild.
A year passed, and the ruins of the old Statehouse still marked
the site of the former Capitol. But the Constitution, or rather the
Ordinance, of 1789 located the capital at Raleigh, and the Legisla-
ture had no power to move it. It was even questioned with great
seriousness whether the Assembly could hold its sessions in the Gov-
ernor's Mansion, at the end of Fayetteville Street, as that was out-
side of the limits of the town. To move the capital a convention
was necessary, and a majority of the Legislature was not favorable
to a convention.
At the session of November, 1832, the Assembly, by a vote of 35
to 28 in the Senate and 73 to 60 in the House, resolved to rebuild on
the old site, and $50,000 was appropriated for the purpose.
William Boylan, Duncan Cameron, Henry Seawell. Romulus M.
Saunders and William S. Mhoon were appointed commissioners to
have the work done. The commissioners, with $50,000 at their com-
mand, did not dally. The rubbish was cleared away, the excavations
made and the foundations were laid. On July 4, 1833. the corner-
stone was set in place. Up to that time W. S. Drummond was the
superintendent and chief architect, and he was one of the principal
persons in the ceremony of laying the corner-stone.
After the foundations were laid the work progressed more slowly,
and it was so expensive that the appropriation was exhausted. The
Legislature at its next session appropriated $75,000 more. To do the
stone and finer work, many skilled artisans had been brought from
Scotland and other countries. Part of the work was conducted
under the supervision of W. S. Drummond and another part under
Colonel Thomas Bragg, but these arrangements did not prove satis-

factory, and a year later, in September, 1834, Mr. I. Theil Town, of
New York, acting for the commissioners, contracted with David
Paton to come to Raleigh and superintend the work.
Mr. Paton was an architect who had come from Scotland the year
before. He was then thirty-three years of age. He was the son of
John Paton, of Edinburgh, who was an extensive builder in that city
and vicinity and who had built the greater part of the new town
and constructed the famous Dean Bridge across the water of Leith,
and he ranked high in his profession. Having received a liberal
education at the University of Edinburgh, David Paton took up the
profession of his father and was regularly bred as an architect and
builder under his father and under Sir John Sloan, R. A., professor
of architecture to the Royal Academy of London. He soon demon-
strated his capacity. When he first came to Raleigh the cost of over-
seeing the work on the Capitol was $25 a day. He reduced that cost
to $9. Twenty-eight stonecuttei's were paid $81 a day. This he
reduced to $56. He made a saving in these two items alone of $42 a
day. He found himself to be not merely the supervisor of the work,
but the superintendent ; not merely the superintendent, but the book-
keeper and paymaster. He had every detail of the work on his
shoulders. And, then, he had to make the working drawings. He
was the builder, the architect, the designer.
Both the commissioners and the architect had large ideas. The
former were wise enough to expend the original $50,000, which the
General Assembly expected would complete the structure, on its
foundation. Their work being severely criticised, they resigned,
January 1, 1835. Their successors were: Beverly Daniel, chair-
man, Samuel F. Patterson, Charles Manly, and Alfred Jones. The
Legislature was compelled to make appropriations for the work,
from time to time. The following is a table of the several appro-
priations made:
Session of 1832-33 $ 50,000.00
Session of 1833-34 75,000.00
Session of 1834-35 75,000.00
Session of 1835 . 75,000.00
Session of 1836-37 120,000.00
Session of 1838-39 105,300.00
Session of 1840-41 31,374.46
Total $531,674.46
184 Miscellaneous.
If must be remembered that the stone with which the building was
erected was the property of the State. Had the State been compelled
to purchase this material, the cost of the Capitol would have been
considerably increased.
The following is a description of the Capitol, written by David
Paton, the architect :
"The State Capitol is 160 feet in length from north to south by
140 feet from east to west. The whole height is 97i/4 feet in the
center. The apex of pediment is 64 feet in height. The stylobate is
18 feet in height. The columns of the east and west porticoes are
5 feet 2i/^> inches in diameter. An entablature, including blocking
course, is continued around the building, 12 feet high.
"The columns and entablature are Grecian Doric, and copied from
the Temple of Minerva, commonly called the Parthenon, which was
erected in Athens about 500 years before Christ. An octagon tower
surrounds the rotunda, which is ornamented with Grecian cornices,
etc., and its dome is decorated at top with a similar ornament to that
of the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates, commonly called the Lan-
thorn of Demosthenes.
"Tije interior of the Capitol is divided into three stories : First,
the lower story, consisting of ten rooms, eight of which are appro-
priated as offices to the Governor, Secretary, Treasurer, and Comp-
troller, each having two rooms of the same size — the one containing
an area of 649 square feet, the other 528 square feet — the two com-
mittee rooms, each containing 200 square feet, and four closets ; also,
the rotunda, corridors, vestibules, and piazzas, contain an area of
4,370 square feet. The vestibules are decorated with columns and
antse, similar to those of the Ionic Temple on the Ilissus, near the
Acropolis of Athens. The remainder is groined with stone and brick,
springing from columns and pilasters of the Roman Doric.
"The second story consists of Senatorial and Representatives'
chambers, the former containing an area of 2,545 and the Tatter 2,849
square feet. Four apartments enter from Senate Chamber, two of
which contain each an area of 169 square feet, and the other two
contain each an area of 154 square feet ; also, two rooms enter from
Representatives' chamber, each containing an area of 170 square
feet; of two committee rooms, each containing an area of 231 feet;
of four presses and the passages, stairs, lobbies, and colonnades, con-
taining an area of 3,204 square feet.
The State Capitol. 185
"The lobbies and Hall of Representatives have their columns and
antae of the Octagon Tower of Audronicus Cyrrbestes, and the plan
of the hall is of the formation of the Greek theater and the columns
and antae in the Senatorial chamber and rotunda are of the Temple of
Erectheus, Minerva Polias, and Pandrosus, in the Acropolis of Athens,
near the above-named Parthenon.
"Third, or attic story, consists of rooms appropriated to the Su-
preme Court and Library, each containing an area of 693 square feet.
Galleries of both houses have an area of 1,300 square feet ; also, two
apartments entering from Senate gallery, each 169 square feet, of four
presses and the lobbies' stairs, 988 square feet. These lobbies, as
well as rotunda, are lit with cupolas, and it is proposed to finish the
Court and Library in the florid Gothic style."
In the summer of 1840 the work was finished. The Assembly had,
in December, 1832, appropriated $00,000 for the building. Mr. Boy-
Ian, Judge Cameron and State Treasurer Mhoon and their associates
spent that sum in the foundation. They proposed to have a Capitol
worthy of the State. At every subsequent session the Assembly made
additional appropriations. There was some caviling, and the com-
missioners resigned ; but the Legislature and the new commissioners
took no step backwards. Year by year they pressed on the work as
it had been begun, until at last, after more than seven years, the sum
of $531,674.46 was expended. As large as that sum was for the time,
when the State was so poor and when the entire taxes for all State
purposes reached less than $100,000, yet the people were satisfied.
The building had been erected with rigorous economy, and it was an
object of great pride to the people. Indeed, never was money better
expended than in the erection of this noble Capitol.
Speaking of this structure, Samuel A. Ashe, in an address on David
Paton, delivered in 1909, says :
"Not seventy years have passed since the completion of this build-
ing, yet it has undying memories. It was finished the year Henry
Clay was set aside and his place as the Whig leader given to General
Harrison. Four years later Clay spoke from the western portico;
but, like Webster and Calhoun, the prize of the presidency was de-
nied him. The voices of other men of large mould also have been
heard within this Capitol. Here, too, our great jurists — Gaston,
Ruffin, Pearson and their associates — held their sessions and brought
186 MiSCELLAXEOrS.
renown to North Carolina. Here Badger, Mangum, Dobbin, and
scores of men known to fame held high debates. Here was brought
forth in great travail our system of internal improvements, and of
education, ramifying the State, disseminating enlightenment and
opening the pathways to prosperous, contented and happy homes for
our people.
"Here Ellis and Clark and the mighty Vance directed the affairs of
State in the trying days of war and suffering and desolation, the
glories mingled with pain and sorrow, and fading away in heart-
rending defeat ; but through it all the women and men, alike heroes,
worthy the poets' loftiest strains. Then, when the people were still
bowed in anguish, Carolinians turned their faces to the future, and,
with resolution and intelligence, themselves modified their laws and
institutions to meet the new conditions ; but in vain, for these mute
walls are witnesses of the saturnalia of Reconstruction still await-
ing some Dante to portray the scenes with realistic power. Yet the
dark cloud had its silver lining, and the courageous devotion of
Jarvis, John Graham and their Spartan band adds historic interest
to that time of fearful storm.
"Later, here was the scene of the great State trial, the impeach-
ment of the Chief Magistrate of the Commonwealth and the contest
between the intellectual giants of that generation. Governor Graham
and Bragg and Merrimon, contesting with Smith and Coningland and
Richard Badger.
"And these walls have witnessed the reversal of that State policy
forced on an unwilling people by the mailed hand of the conquering
power, and the full restoration of Anglo-Saxon control. Never in
history has a people been so clearly and effectually vindicated as
those gallant souls of North Carolina, who, emulating the constancy
of Hamilcar, swore their children to undying opposition to those who
would destroy their civilization. Let the oppressed of future ages
gaze on the scene and take courage. Ali*eady hallowed are the mem-
ories that these chambers evoke. What grand occasions yet await
them ! We may not lift the veil of the future, but experience warns
us that history constantly repeats itself, and as the web woven by
destiny unrolls itself there will yet occur within these enduring walls
occasions of surpassing magnitude affecting the weal and woe of our
posterity."

THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE BUILDING COMMISSION.
William E. Speingek, Secretary, Wilmington.
Mindful of the fact that only a little more than a generation ago
the State Capitol of North Carolina was destroyed by fire, entailing
the loss of many valuable records and papers, for some years prior
to the convening of the 1911 session of the General Assembly the
demand had been insistent for a safer housing of several departments
of the State Government at Raleigh, notably the books and records
of the North Carolina Historical Commission, which has now grown
to be one of the most important branches of work at the seat of
government.
Early in the session a movement was started for the building of a
State administration building at the capital, and after numerous
conferences and compromises of differences as to the amount that
should be appropriated for that purpose, a bill was at length unani-
mously passed by both houses, appropriating the sum of $250,000
for this purpose and conferring upon the Governor the appointment
of a State Building Commission for the consummation of this worthy
undertaking. Soon after the adjournment of the Legislature Gov-
ernor W. W. Kitchin named as the members of the Commission,
Ashley Home of Clayton, William E. Springer of Wilmington, Julian
^. Carr of Durham, W. L. Parsons of Rockingham, A. S. Rascoe of
Windsor, J. A. Long of Roxboro, and J. Elwood Cox of High Point,
men of affairs and recognized business ability in the State.
The State Building Commission held its first meeting in the oflice of
the State Auditor at 12 :30 p. m.. May 9, 1911, and organized by the
election of Ashley Home of Clayton as chairman, and William E.
Springer of Wilmington as secretary. Following organization, a
conference was held with the Board of Public Buildings and Gi'ounds,
composed of the Governor, Secretary of State, Treasurer, and Attor-
ney-General. It was stated as the purpose of the General Assembly
to provide ample room for the Supreme Court, all valuable State
records, the State Library, offices for the Attorney-General, and sev-
eral of the other State departments: The grounds were carefully
gone over, the situation canvassed, and a subcommittee composed of
Chairman Home, Secretary Springer, and Commissioner Cox, was
appointed to go further into the matter of a building and site.
188 ^ Miscellaneous.
At a subsequent meeting, on. May 19, 1911, the committee reported
tliat it had secured an option on three sites, and recommended the
purchase of the Grimes tract for $45,000. This recommendation was
accepted by the Commission as a whole, and on June 6, 1911, plans
as prepared by P. Thornton Marye, of Atlanta, were accepted after
hearing a number of others and after several conferences. These
plans were later reviewed by Glenn Brown, of Washington, D. C,
another expert in building construction, and were declared emi-
nently proper and in order in every respect. The plans call for a
modern fireproof building four stories in height and admirably
adapted to the purpose to which it will be put.
On November 1, 1911, the Commission met again in Raleigh, after
proposals had been invited for the building, and after considering a
number of bids for the construction, the contract was at length
awarded to the John T. Wilson Company, of Richmond, Ya., at a cost
of $188,000, the building to be completed and ready for occupancy by
January 19, 1913.
How well the State Building Commission has wrought is attested
by the splendid building which now stands opposite the Capitol
grounds and which will be occupied by the several departments of
government as agreed upon after the numerous conferences of the
Commission since the building has been under way.
NORTH CAROLINA DAY.
The following act, entitled "An Act to Provide for the Celebration
of North Carolina Day in the Public Schools," is chapter 164 of the
Public Laws of 1901 :
The General Assenxbly of North Carolina do enact:

anniversary of the laying of the corner-stone of the University of
North Carolina, October 12, 1793. In accordance with the provisions
of this act, the Superintendent of Public Instruction has had prepared
and distributed to the schools of the State each year a program of ex-

CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA.
PREAMBLE.
We, the people of the State of North Carolina, grateful to Almighty
God, the Sovereign Euler of Nations, for the preservation of the
American Union, and the existence of our civil, political and re-
ligious liberties, and acknowledging our dependence upon Him for
the continuance of those blessings to us and our posterity, do for
the more certain security thereof, and for the better government of
this State, ordain and establish this Constitution :
ARTICLE I.
DECLAEATION OF EIGHTS.
That the great, general and essential principles of liberty and
free government may be recognized and established, and that the
relations of this State to the Union and Government of the United
States, and those of the people of this State to the rest of the Ameri-

inalienable rights ; that among these are life, liberty, the enjoyment
of the fruits of their own labor, and the pursuit of happiness.
Sec. 2. That all political power is vested in, and derived from, the
people ; all government of right originates from the people, is founded
upon their will only, and is instituted solely for the good of the

Sec. 3. That the people of this State have the inherent, sole, and
exclusive right of regulating the internal government and police
thereof, and of altering and abolishing their Constitution and form
of government whenever it may be necessary for their safety and
happiness ; but every such right should be exercised in pursuance of
law, and consistently with the Constitution of the United States.
Sec. 4. That this State shall ever remain a member of the Ameri-
can Union ; that the people thereof are a part of the American Na-
tion ; that there is no right on the part of the State to secede, and
State Constitution. 191
that all attempts, from whatever source or upon whatever pretext,
to dissolve said Union, or to sever said Nation, ought to be resisted
with the whole power of the State.
Sec. 5. That every citizen of this State owes paramount alle-
giance to the Constitution and Government of the United States,
and that no law or ordinance of the State in contravention or sub-
version thereof can have any binding force.
Sec. 6. The State shall never assume or pay, or authorize the col-
lection of any debt or obligation, express or implied, incurred in aid
of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim
for the loss or emancipation of any slave ; nor shall the General
Assembly assume or pay, or authorize the collection of any tax to
pay, either directly or indirectly, expressed or implied, any debt or
bond incurred, or issued, by authority of the Convention of the year
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight, nor any debt or bond
incurred or issued by the Legislature of the year one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-eight, at its special session of the year one thou-
sand eight hundred and sixtj'-eight, or at its regular sessions of the
years one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight and one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-nine and one thousand eight hundred and
seventy, except the bonds issued to fund the interest on the old debt
of the State, unless the proposing to pay the same shall have first
been submitted to the people and by them ratified by the vote of a
majority of all the qualified voters of the State, at a regular election
held for that purpose.
Sec. 7. No man or set of men are entitled to exclusive or separate
emoluments or privileges from the community but in consideration
of public services.
Sec. 8. The legislative, executive and supreme judicial powers of
the government ought to be forever separate and distinct from each
other.
Sec. 9. All power of suspending laws, or the execution of laws, by

his defense, and not to be compelled to give evidence against himself
or to pay costs, jail fees, or necessary witness fees of the defense,
unless found guilty.
Sec, 12. No person shall be put to answer any criminal charge,
except as hereinafter allowed, but by indictment, presentment, or im-
peachment.
Sec 13. No person shall be convicted of any crime but by the
unanimous verdict of a jury of good and lawful men in open court.
The Legislature may, however, provide other means of trial for petty
misdemeanors, with the right of appeal.
Sec. 14. Excessive bail should not be required, nor excessive fines
imposed, nor cruel or unusual punishments inflicted.
Sec. 15. General warrants, whereby any oflicer or messenger may
be commanded to search suspected places, without evidence of the

offense is not particularly described and supported by evidence, are
dangerous to liberty and ought not to be granted.
Sec. 16. There shall be no Imprisonment for debt in this State,
except in cases of fraud.
Sec 17. No person ought to be taken, imprisoned, or disseized of
his freehold, liberties or privileges, or outlawed or exiled, or in any

remedy to inquire into the lawfulness thereof, and to remove the
same, if unlawful ; and such remedy ought not to be denied or de-
layed.
Sec 19. In all controversies at law respecting property, the an-
cient mode of trial by jury is one of the best securities of the rights
of the people, and ought to remain sacred and inviolable. .
Sec 20. The freedom of the press is one of the great bulwarks of
liberty, and therefore ought never to be restrained, but every indi-
vidual shall be held responsible for the abuse of the same.
Sec 21. The privileges of the writ of Jial)€as corpus shall not be
suspended.
Sec. 22. As political rights and privileges are not dependent upon,
or modified by, property, therefore no pi'operty qualification ought
to affect the right to vote or hold office.
State Constitution. 193
Sec. 23. The people of the State ought not to be taxed, or made
subject to the payment of any impost or duty, without the consent of
themselves, or their representatives in General Assembly, freely given.
Sec. 24. A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security
of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall
not be infringed ; and, as standing armies in time of peace are dan-
gerous to liberty, they ought not to be kept up, and the military
should be kept under strict subordination to, and governed by, the
civil power. Nothing herein contained shall justify the practice of
carrying concealed weapons, or prevent the Legislature from enact-
ing penal statutes against said practice.
Sec. 25. The people have a right to assemble together to consult
for their common good, to instruct their representatives, and to ap-
ply to the Legislature for redress of grievances. But secret political
societies are dangerous to the liberties of a free people, and should
not be tolerated.
Sec. 26. All men have a natural and inalienable right to worship

THE LORDS PROPRIETORS OF CAROLINA.
By two separate charters, dated March 20, 1663, and June 30, 1665,
King Charles II granted Carolina to the following Lords Proprietors:
Edward Hyde, Earl of Clarendon.
George Monk, Duke of Albemarle.
William, Lord Craven, and later Earl of Craven.
John, Lord Berkeley.
Anthony Ashley Cooper, Lord Ashley, and later Earl of
Shaftesbury.
Sir George Carteret, Baronet.
Sir William Berkeley, Knight.
Sir John Colleton, Baronet.
The subsequent ownership of the shares held by the above men-
tioned Lords Proprietors is given in the "History of North Caro-
lina" (Vol. I, p. 51), by Ashe, as follows:
"After Clarendon's death, his share was bought by Seth Sothel,
on whose death in 1694 it was assigned to Thomas Amy, a London
merchant, who had been very active in promoting colonization.
Eventually this share passed to Honorable James Bertie, after
whom the county of Bertie was named.
"The share of the Duke of Albemarle was acquired by John
Granville, Earl of Bath, who dying in 1701, was succeeded by his
son, John, Lord Granville. In 1709 the Duke of Beaufort acquired
this share and devised it to James Bertie in trust for his sons,
Henry and Charles Somerset. His name appears in a county and in
the seaport town called in his honor, when he was Palatine.
"The Earl of Craven's share, he having no descendants, passed to
his grand-nephew, William, Lord Craven, whose son William, Lord
Craven, succeeded him. That name is also perpetuated in a county.
"The share of John Lord Berkeley came to his son, John, an ad-
miral of great merit; but it had been forfeited, and in April, 1698,
was sold to Joseph Blake, on whose death it descended to his son of
the same name.
"On the death of Shaftesbury, his share passed to his son. Lord
Ashley.

"George Carteret dying in 1679, was succeeded by his infant son,
who was represented by the Earl of Bath. This second George
Carteret dying about 1695, was succeeded by his son, George Carteret,
who at the time of the purchase by the Crown in 1729, was lieuten-
ant-governor of Ireland, and in 1742 overthrew Walpole's adminis-
tration and became prime minister. About that time, on the death
of his mother, the Countess of Granville, he became Lord Granville.
He would not sell his share to the Crown, and in 1744 it was set
apart to him in the northern part of North Carolina. After the
Revolution it was held by the State, although his heirs brought suit
to recover it, but failed in the courts.
"On the death of Sir William Berkeley, 1677, his share was sold
by his widow to John Archdale for his son Thomas. Afterward in
1684 she and her husband, Philip Ludwell, sold it again to Sir Peter
Colleton for 300 pounds. Sir Peter purchased it for himself and
three other Proprietors and the title was conveyed to Thomas Amy
in trust for them.
"In 1705 this share was acquired by John Archdale, who in 1709
conveyed it to John Dawson, his son-in-law. Later it was sold by
decree of the Court of Chancery and purchased by Hugh Watson as
trustee for Henry and James Bertie.
"Sir John Colleton's share on his death in 1666 descended to his
son. Sir Peter, who held it until 1694, and who was succeeded by his
son, Sir Peter Colleton. All of the shares were bought by the
Crown in 1729, except that of Sir George Carteret."

NOTES.
'On account of the incompleteness of the records, and the frequent disturbances in the
colony resulting frequently in rapid changes in' the government and sometimes in con-
flicting claims of rival governments, it is impossible to make a complete register of Coun-
cilors prior to the administration of Gov. Edward Hyde. The list since his administra-
tion seems to be about complete, if not entirely so. For the hsts before Gov. Hyde the
dates given are merely those at which the names listed first and last appear: they do not
probably, always embrace the full terms served by the Councilors.
-Resigned.
^Died in office.
^Succeeded Gale who had left the province.
^Being Surveyor-General of the Customs and "being now in tliis Government in the
Execution of his'Office and having instructions from the Crown to sit in Council in each
and every of his Majestie's Governments that his business as Surveyor-General shall call
him into?' he was admitted to a seat. Attended only one session.

NOTES.
lUnder the Colonial Government the General Assembly met only at the call of the
Governor, who alone had the authority to summon, prorogue, and dissolve that body.
Assemblies, therefore, existed at the will of the Governor; hence the varying terms of the
members and lengths of the sessions. Governors frequently prorogued sessions for a single
The Generai, Assemblt. 341
day in order that certain measures which had been passed or rejected and could not be re-
considered at the same session, might be reconsidered at a new session. This explains
the frequent very short sessions, and the brief periods that frequently elapsed between
sessions.
^Governor Johnston died July 1", 1752. Nathaniel Rice administered the government,
as president of the Council, until his death, January 29, 1753. He was succeeded by Mat-
thew Rowan, president of the Council, who served until the arrival of Governor Dobbs.
President Rowan continued in existence the last Assembly elected during Governor John-
ston's administration.
■•Resigned .
^Dec lined on account of his health.
^Governor Dobbs died March 28, 1765, and Tryon administered the government as
lieutenant-governor until his appointment as governor.
'Lived in Dobbs county, but represented New Bern in the General Assembly.
^The first ses.sion of the Assembly held during Martin's administration was the second
session of the last Assembly elected during Tryon's administration.
^The last Assembly held in North Carolina by authority of the British Crown.

NOTES.
'The records do not give the constituencies represented.
-The names in this list are members of the Assembly elected by the rebels during Cul-
pepper's Rebellion.
^The names of the other members of the several Assemblies in this list may be found
under their respective counties: the constituencies represented by those whose names
appear here cannot now be determined. It should be remembered that in Colonial days
members frequently represented counties or boroughs, of which they were not residents.
■■Election conte.sted, and his seat declared vacant.
"House never organized on account of failure of the upper House to make a quorum.
"House adjourned (see note 5) before the arrival of this delegation.
'House seated John Harrokl.
^The Journal of the House of Commons for this session has been lost, but a few of the
delegations can be partially filled in from messages appearing in the Council Journals.
'The Journal does not state the county he represented, but it has been ascertained
from other lists and from the body of the proceedings. However, see list under head of
"Miscellaneous," supra.
1 "Elected from both Bertie and Tyrrell; chose to sit for the latter.
"Took his seat at the second session.
i^Only the surname is given in the Journal.
I'Died during the session.
'^Elected for both New Hanover and Onslow: chose to sit for the latter.
i=A Quaker. The Council refused to qualify him on his affirmation, and as he refused
to take an oath his seat was declared vacant.
'"Taken into custody by the serjeant-at-arms for refusal to qualify, sit and vote. See
Note 17 below.
"Delegates were refused their seats in the Assembly. The early charters had given
the counties of Chowan, Perquimans, Pasquotank, Currituck, Bertie and TjTrell, five
members each (Bertie aften\-ards surrendered two of its five to that portion of its terri-
tory erected into Northampton) to the Assembly. These northern counties, therefore,
controlled the Assembly. In 1746, while their delegates were absent from the session at
Wilmington, a minority of the As.sembly, compo.sed of members from the Southern coun-
ties, was recognized by the Governor as a quorum, and passed an act cutting down the
delegations from the Northern counties to two members each. Accordingly Governor
Johnston directed the sheriffs of those counties in their writs of election to require the elec-
tion of two members; the counties concerned refused to recognize the authority of the act *

as havinK been passed by an Assembly having less than a majority present, and continued
to choose five representatives as usual. The Assembly, now under the control of the south-
ern counties, declared the elections void because the sheriffs' writs called for the election of
five, and not two members. Both sides appealed to the King in Council, and while the
appeal was pending the northern counties were not represented in the Assembly, though
at each election they chose five members as usual. The Crown decided in favor of the
northern counties, and their delegations again appeared in the Assembly at New Bern,
Dec. 12, 1754.
'^Took his seat at the seventh session.
I'Took his seat at the tenth session.
2 "Seat vacated by his appointment as a member of the Council.
- 'Took his seat at the twelfth session.
2 2Took his seat at the thirteenth session.
2 3Resigned.
2 ■'Took his seat at the third session.
2^Seat vacated by his acceptance of another office.
2 6Took his seat at the fourth ses.sion.
-'Took his seat at the fifth ses-sion.
-'Expelled for misapplication of public funds, Nov. 23, 1757.
2 'Expelled for perjury, Oct. 5, 1758.
3 "Took his seat at the ninth ses.sion.
3 'Having been expelled from the Assembly as a member from Currituck (see note 29),
he was declared incapable of sitting in the Assembly. His seat being therefore declared
vacant, and a new election ordered, he was re-elected and offered again, (Nov. 12, 1760),
and was again rejected by the Assembly.
'-Francis Brown having again been returned from Perquimans, this time at the head
of the delegation, the Assembly gave up the fight (see note 29 and .31) and permitted him
to take his seat.
^'Declared disqualified for a seat in the Assembly because he was sheriff of the county
at the time of his election.
'^DecUned on account of his health.
'^Owing to the failure of the sheriff to receive the Governor's writ ordering an election
no member was elected. ^
3^Died before taking his seat.
'^Seat contested by Peter Blinn, who was seated.
'^The Ust of members affixed at the beginning of the Journal of this session credits Cas-
well to Bath, but it is obviously an error for New Bern.
3 'Lived in Dobbs county, but represented New Bern in the General Assembly.
^"Thomas Hadley and Thomas Hardy are both referred to in the Journal as the mem-
ber for Campbellton; the former is probably correct.
^'Expelled for being a "principal mover and promoter" of "riots and seditions," for
publishing a "faLse, seditious, and MaUcious Libel" on Maurice Moore, for "gross pre-
varication and falsehood," and for offering "a daring insult" to the General Assembly
"tending to intimidate the Members from a discharge of their duty."
^ -Never took his seat.
^'Elected for both Currituck and Pasquotank; chose to sit for Currituck.
^*Elections declared illegal, and seats vacated.
*^In the list of members preceding the Journal it is William Robeson; in the Journal
itself it is Charles Robinson; the latter is probably correct.
^^Seat contested by and awarded to Thomas Stewart.
^'Election declared void on account of irregularities. Another election having been
ordered, both were re-elected and took their seats at the second session.
■• *The last Assembly held in North Carolina by authority of the British Crown.

THE PROVINCIAL COinVCIL.i
Created by the Provincial Congress, August, 1775, as the executive
power of the Revolutionary government established after the flight
from the province of the royal governor, Josiah Martin. Its princi-
pal duty was to carry into effect the resolves of the Provincial Con-
gress. The following members were elected by the Provincial Con-
gress, September 10, 1775:
Districts Councilors Counties
Member-at-large Samuel Johnston Chowan
Wilmington District Cornelius Harnett New Hanover
Samuel Ashe New Hanover
Edenton District Thomas Jones Chowan
Whitmill Hill Northampton
New Bern District Abner Nash Craven
James Coor Craven
Hillsboro District Thomas Person Granville

Waightstill Avery Mecklenburg
After the adoption of the Resolution of April 12, 1776, by the Con-
gress at Halifax, authorizing the delegates from North Carolina in
the Continental Congress to vote for a Declaration of Independence,
the word "Provincial" was deemed as no longer appropriate as de-
scriptive of the executive council of the Revolutionary government,
so the name was changed to "Council of Safety." The powers re-
mained practically the same. The Council was superceded by the
government established by the Constitution of 1776. The following
members cf the Council of Safety were elected by the Congress, May
11, 1776:
Districts Councilors Counties
Member-at-large Willie Jones Halifax
Wilmington District Cornelius Harnett New Hanover
Samuel Ashe New Hanover

CARTERET.
Carteret county was formed in 1722 from Bath. Was named in
honor of Sir John Carteret, afterwards (1744) Earl Granville, one
of the Lords Proprietors. When the other Lords Proprietors sold
their shares to the king in 1728, Carteret refused to sell, and an im-
mense tract of land in North Carolina was laid off as his share in
1744. It was called the Granville District and was the cause of a
great deal of trouble. He lost it by confiscation when the Revolu-
tion freed North Carolina from British rule. Beaufort is the county
seat.

Davidson county was formed in 1822 from Rowan. Was named in
honor of General William Lee Davidson, a soldier of the Revolution,
who was killed at the battle of Cowan's Ford. When Genei'al Greene

MARTIN.
Martin county was formed in 1774 from Halifax and Tyrrell.
Was named in honor of Josiah Martin, the last royal governor of
North Carolina. It is probable that this name would have been
changed like those of Dobbs and Tryon, but for the popularity of
Alexander Martin, who was Governor in 1782 and again in 1790.
The county seat is Williamston.

WAKE.
"Wake county was formed in 1770 from Johnston, Cumberland, and
Orange. Was named in honor of Govei'nor Tryon's wife, whose
maiden name was Margaret Wake. Some historians say that the
county was named for "Esther Wake," the popular sister of Tryon's
wife, but there is no reason to suppose that any such person ever
existed. She is purely a creature of the imagination. The county
seat is Raleigh.

NOTES.
iThis is the first question that the people of North Carolina as a whole ever voted on .
^Official returns published in the (Raleigh) Standard, April 24, 1835.
'Official returns published in the (Raleigh) Standard, September 23, 1857.
^Official returns published in the (Raleigh) Standard, March 20, 1861.
^Voted with Ashe.
'"Unofficial, but believed to be correct." — Standard's note.
'Voted with Cumberland.
sVoted with Rutherford.
'Voted with Edgecombe.
'"At the same time that the people voted on the question of calling a convention, they
also voted for delegates who were to compose the convention if it were called. The election
of delegates shows the sentiment of the State better than the votes on the main question .
Many counties which voted "For Convention" elected Union men as delegates; hence,
though the Convention was defeated by only a small vote, the delegates elected were over-
whelmingly against secession in February 1861.
'lOfficial returns published in the Weekly Standard, January 3, 1866.
i^Voted with Cherokee.
I'No returns.
"Voted with Yancey.
•5 Voted with Henderson.
'^Official returns published in the Weekly Standard, September 5, 1866.
