This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
We also ask that you:
+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.
+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.
+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.
+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.

PREFACE.
A L»^6i8i ATiVK Manual and Political Register for the State of North
Carolina is herewith presented, for the first time, in the history of the
State.
The want of such a compilation is felt by every citizen in the -tate.
In very many of the States of the Union, such a work is annually
published by public patronage, and is much esteemed as affording a
ready reference to names, dates and facts, which are inaccessible to
some, of difficulty to many, and important to all.
The compiler feels grateful to many patriotic citizens of North Caro-
lina for aid afforded. In the collection of so many names and facts,
and the compilation of so large an array of figures, ix. is to be expected
that some errors will occur. Much labor and pains have been taken to
guard against them; errors will creep in, however, and the compiler
will be grateful to any one who may detect them, and communicate the
facts, that they may be avoided in future editions. It is to be hoped,
however, that should some errors occur, they will be so small as not to
mislead the observant reader, or impair the usefulness of the work.
In future editions, (as the work is, by law, to be prepared for each
succeeding Legislature,) such errors will be avoided; and by improve-
ment in matter and embellishments in mode, this work more worthy of
its distinguished subject, and the patronage of its patriotic citizens.
JOHN H. WHEELER.

Section 1. Th£ eqtudity and rights qf men: That we hold it to be self-evident

tion or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipa-

rate and distinct from each other.
Seo. 9. Ibvter ofsitspending latos : All power of suspending laws, or the execution

State Debt.
Digitized by VjOOQIC
Digitized by VjOOQ iC
FROM ANNUAL REPORT OF THE STATE TREAS-
URER TO THE GOVERNOR OF NORTH CAROLINA,
FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 1873.
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA,
Treasury Department,
Raleigh, Nov. 12th, 1878.
I again call the attention of the General Assembly to the necessity of making
some provision in regard to the debt. The statements show in exienso the amount
of the same, when due and for what purpose issued. It is seen that the entire
amount, excluding special tax and unconstitutional bonds, is $17,881,046, with
past due interest, say $5,506,154.85. For specific information I distribute the
same as follows :
Ist. Old or ante-war bonds, dated prior to the war, total amount, $ 8,378,200
Accrued interest, 2,513,460
Total, $10,891,660
These were sold by the State, or by its agents, on an average at par for gold.
There is no charge that their proceeds were not honestly expended, although Jn
some instances the investments were unfortunate. For example, the following
enterprises, for which $291,000 bonds are outstanding, are almost, if not quite
total failuresy adding a little, if anything, to the wealth of the State, viz :
Cape Fear and Deep River Navigation Works, $145,500
Fayetteville and Western Plank Road, 50,500
Neuse and Tar River Improvements, 25,000
Fayetteville and Centre Plank Road, 45,000
Fayetteville and Warsaw Plank Road, 10,000
Tar River, 15,000
$291,000
The following enterprises, for which $4,210,500 bonds are outstanding, are not
failures, i. e.j they add something to the prosperity of the country, but the interest
of the State in them has little, if any market value :
Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad, $1,351,500
Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal, 324,000
. Western (Coal Fields) Railroad, ' 386,000
Western North Carolina Railroad, 1,136,000
Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad, (now Carolina
Central,) 1,013,000
Total, $4,210,500
Digitized by VjOOQIC
140 NORTH CAROLINA MANUAL.
The above companies have never declared a dividend. The WUmington,
Charlotte and Rntherford Railroad Company has gone out of the hands of the
State altogether by sale of all its franchise and property.
The following investments, for which bonds now outstanding amount to
$2,865,000, have considerable value, viz :
The Insane Asylum, $ 71,000
North CaroUna Railroad, 2,794,000
The bonds issued for the North Carolina Railroad Company are made by the
charter of the Company a lien on the State stock in the Company. The bond-
holders, under a decree of the United States Circuit Court, in the suit of Swazey
and others vs. the North Carolina Railroad Company and others, are now receiv-
ing the dividends and will, no doubt, at least when the bonds become due, obtain
the stock Itself, if they so desire.
• 2. The second class of bonds consists of those issued since the war, but under
acts passed before, as follows :
Wilmington, Charlotte & Rutherford Railroad, $ 434,000
Western North Carolina Railroad, 2,294,000
Total principal, $2,728,000
These bonds were sold for not over about sixty cents in the dollar for currency, •
when gold was at a large premium, netting to the company considerably less than
fifty cents in gold.
I have already stated that the interest of the State has been altogether lost in
the Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford Ilailroad Company, and it is probable
that the same will sooner or later be the case in regard to the Western North
Carolina Railroad Company.
8. There is a third class of bonds issued during the late war, and for that
reason not marketable, but having been for internal improvement purposes,
should be included in a general settlement of our debt, viz :
Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad Company, $ 493,000
Western North Carolina Railroad Company, 220,000
Western Railroad Company, 200,000
$ 913,000
4. A fourth class of bonds consists of those issued to take up past due interest,
viz:
Under the Funding Act of 1866, $ 2,417,400
Under the Funding Act of 1868, 1,711,400
Total principal, $ 4,128,800
Nearly all the bonds issued under the former act were for old bonds matured,
and for coupons of old bonds. Those issued under the Funding Act of 1868
were for old bonds matured, all recognized bonds that had become defaced and
mutilated, bonds of the denomination of $100 and $200, coupons of old bonds
and coupons of bonds issued since the war to the Wilmington, Charlotte ancT
Rutherford Railroad Company, the Western North Carolina Railroad Company,
and under the Funding Act of 1866. But none were for coupons of Convention
or special tax bonds.

STATE DEBT. 141
5. A fifth class of bouds comprises those issaed under ordinances or acts pass-
ed since the war, viz :
To Chatham Railroad Company, (now Raleigh and Augusta Air
Line,) under ordhiance of Convention of 1868, $ 1,200,000
Williamston and Tarboro Railroad Companj*, 150,000
$1,350,000
The bonds for the Chatham Railroad were disposed of, It is stated, at about
sixty cents in currency. What amount the $150,000 to the Williamston and Tar-
boro Railroad brought I am not informed ; at any rate the investment has been
disastrous, and now the interest of the State is entirely lost by sale under bank-
ruptcy proceedings.
Lastly, are the "special tax bonds," in the aggregate $11,407,000, detailed as
follows :
WHmington, Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad, $ 8,000,000
Western N. C. Railroad (Eastern Division,) 273,000
Western N. C. Railroad (Western Division,) 6,367,000
Western (Coal Fields) Railroad, 1,320,000
Williamston and Tarboro Railroad, 300,000
Atlantic, Tennessee and Ohio Railroad (outstanding,) 147,000
$11,407,000
Of the above, the first million of dollars of bonds issued to the Wilmington,
Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad Company, were sold, it is said, at about fifty
cents in the dollar and the proceeds were used in paying the debts of the com-
pany contracted on construction account, but the residue, about $2,000,000, was
sold at a heavy sacrifice at almost nominal prices, and the company derived little
benefit from them. The same may be said of those issued for the Western
North Carolina Railroad Company. At any rate, but little work was done on the
road from their proceeds. The bonds for the Williamston and Tarboro Railroad
Company were sold at better rates, but as said above, the State has lost its entire
investment. The Western (Coal Fields) Railroad Company derived no benefit
worthy of mention from the $1,320,000 issued for that Company.
The foregoing statements show that the experience of the State in railroad and
navigation enterprises has been unfortunate, with one exception, the North Car-
olina Railroad Company. Even this was for many years non-dividend paying.
Practically, as to the rest of the debt, except that contracted on account of the
"Insane Asylum, the State has nothing whatever to show, except whatever gene-
ral increase of property has been made by the partial construction of the works.
Such general improvement in the value of property in the State does not exist.
The valuation of the real estate of North Carolina, in 1860, was in round numbers
$97,670,000. In 18?2, it was in round numbers, $82,100,000. I am unable to give
a compaiison as to personal property, because it was not taxed according to its
value until 1868, but I think as the total valuation of real and personal estate, in
1872, was $123,500,000, there has been a similar retrogade as to both.
I have gone into this matter in such detail because those who sneer at our not
l)aying interest on the public debt ignore the facts of our situation.
Omitting special tax bonds altogether, the interest on the rest of our debt, sup-
posing our accrued interest to be funded, would be $1,406,663.99 per annum. To
Digitized by VjOOQIC
142 NORTH CAROLINA MANUAL.
this add the expense of supportmg the State government and It will be necessary
to raise $l,9p0,000 per annum, or 1 and 3-5 per cent, of the real and personal pro])-
erty. Add an amount for county taxation equal to that for State government
expenses, and we have, outside the towns and cities, 2 and 1-10 per cent, of^our
property. And in many of the cities and towns the levies for municipal purposes
are as large, if not larger. Now add, as the holders of special tax bonds propose,
a tax of $855,090, or | of 1 per cent, on the property, and we have a grand total
of 2 and 8-10 per cent.
It is manifest that our people, cannot and will not pay such enormous levies.
Any attempt to enforce it would result in total repudiation. Even if any General
Assembly should vote a levy at present, even omitting special tax bonds, the peo-
ple would reverse their action at the next election. But I am strongly of opinion
that good policy requires a speedy adjustment of the public debt. Delay is dan-
gerous. The interest is accumulating The popular mind is becoming accus-
tomed to the alternative of repudiation. Our good fame is stigmatized. Our
bond-holders are a class of influential men, and their increasing ill-humor and
consequent denunciation of our State, not only affect the credit of the citizens,
but operate to drive off immigration and capital from our limits.
The re-establishment of the public credit will besides tend to nerve our people
to greater energ}' in adherence to their ow^n contracts. Nothing so much tends*
to impair morality in the citizen as the spectacle of laxity of principle in the com-
monwealth.
And then the restoration of credit is essential to any future negotiations for
borrowing money. The bonds of the State, if allowed to remain outstanding,
will be a perpetual reminder of our breach of faith. In all financial circles they
win be exhibited as proofs that any new ventures in our securities will be as dis-
astrous as the investments in the repudiated securities. If, however, we can
compromise the debt, any sacrifices the creditors submit to will be charged where
they justly belong, to the terrible losses of the war.
I have already stated those losses are demonstrated by the present condition of
the investments entered into by the State. It is not necessary to add to the list
the enormous destruction of our property by the war, the annihilation of our sys-
tem of labor, the ruin of our wealthiest people by the abolition of slavery, the
death Jor disabling of multitudes of our young men in battle or by disease,^the
sweeping away of our personal property, our horses, our cattle, our farming im-
plements, the deterioration of our lands. It is not necessary to call to mind the
effects on a half ruined people of the financial troubles of 1867 and of the present
year. Every fair-minded man will admit that if ever a State can be justified in
demanding that creditors should abate part of their demands proportioned to
losses by causes unforeseen by both parties at the time of the creation of the
debt, that State is North Carolina.
It is said by some that the General Assembly ought to surrender to the creditor.*
all the State property acquired by the creation of the debt, and refuse to pay any
more. I have shown that in several instances the interest of the State has been
sacrificed. For example, I state its lien on the Wilmington, Charlotte and
Rutherford Railroad Company has been subordinated to another mortgage, by
the foreclosure of which the road has passed into other hands. Its stock in the
Western North Carolina Railroad Company is threatened by foreclosure of a like
mortgage. It would have been lost a year ago if the General Assembly had not
Digitized by VjOOQ IC
, STATE DEBT. 14:3
authorized an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. The surrender
of interests whose value has been impaired or destroyed by voluntary action of
the State will not ha^e any appearance of fairness.
In one case a considerable portion of the bonds might be exchanged for stock
of the State. I mean the North Carolina Railroad Company. The holders of
bonds issued for that company have already obtained a decree for sequestration
of the dividends. It is threatened to apply to the court for a further decree to
sell the stock to pay deficiencies of past due interest unpaid. Whether this be
done or not, certainly at the maturity of the bonds in 1883,-'84 and '85, the bond-
holders can claim such sale. I respectfully suggest whether it might not be ad-
visable to authorize the exchange at once. This would reduce the debt much
more than it would be on a sale of the stock under decree of the court.
The most feasible plan for settling the question of the public debt is to au-
thorize the issue of new bonds, with a tax levied in the act for the payment of
the interest, holders of bonds of the State to be allowed to surrender the same
and receive the new bonds at such rate by way of compromise as might be pre-
scribed by the General Assembly. I would respectfully suggest that one of the
new bonds be offered for two of the old or ante-war bonds and those issued to
fund the interest of the same, of like denominations, for three of all other bonds
issued since the war, except special tax bonds. As to the latter, let a commission
be appointed, whose duty it shall be to estimate what portion of the proceeds
went into our public works, and report to the General Assembly. Then the As-
sembly can declare valid a part of the special tax bonds proportioned to such
amount realized.
Of course if any creditor should prefer to decline the proposal indicated and
take his chances for better terms hereafter, he could do so. But I am ihclined
to think that after a full explanation of the poverty of the State, most, if not all,
would enter into the arrangement.
I earnestly hope some plan will be carried into effect. I greatly fear that longer
delay will result in entire repudiation by inaction at least. Already such a policy
is advocated by men of influence, and there is danger that it will become popular.
Prompt action only will defeat it.
I learn by the public prints that the Auditor and myself are threatened with a
suit by the holders of special tax bonds. This would be in effect a suit against a
sovereign State, prohibited by the Constitution of the United States. It will be
resisted, of course, to the last extremity. I am informed that the Governor and
Attorney General have full power to employ counsel in such defence — if not, I
recommend that such power be granted by the General Assembly.
That the State shall pay these bonds in full—many of which were fraudulently
sold by State agents, nearly all under circumstances which amounted to notice to
prudent men not to buy— cannot be entertained, in my opinion, for a moment.

ANSON COUNTY.
157
Anson County was erected as early as 1749, from Bladen County, and compre-
hended all the western portion of the State, from New Hanover and Bladen on
the east, as far as the limits of the State extended on the west, more than one-
half of the State.
It derives its name from Admiral Anson, the celebrated Circumnavigator, who
at the time (1749) was in the zenith of his fame, having only a short time previ-
ous obtained a victory over the French fleet off Cape Finisterre.
Wadesboro*, its capital town, derives its name from Thomas Wade, who was
Colonel of the minute men of Salisbury District, in 1776. Distance from Raleigh
143 miles.

CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
Cumberland County was formed in 1754, from the upper part of Bladen ;
derives it name from the Duke of Cumberland.
U is situated in nearly the centre of the State, having Harnett county on the
noi-th, Sampson on the east, Bladen and .Robeson on the south, Richmond and
Moore counties on the west.
Its capital town is Fayetteville. This flourishing and ancient tovm. was settled
in 1762. It was first called Campbelltown, then Cross Creek, and in 1784, its
name was changed to Fayetteville, in honor of General Lafayette, who was a
native of France, and who perilled his life and fortune in the cause of liberty.
He was a Major-General in the American army, fought in her battles, was
wounded at Brandywine, and having aided in the freedom of this country, he
returned to his native land.
Fayetteville is distant from Raleigh sixty miles. It is located on the Cape Fear
River, which is navigable to this place for steam and other boats.
On the 29th of May, 1831, Fayetteville was almost wholly destroyed by fire.

Currituck County was one of the early precincts of the State in 1729, when
the Lords Proprietors surrendered their rights to the English Crown. It derives
its name from a tribe of Indians who once inhabited and owned the country.
Its location is the extreme north-eastern portion of North Carolina ; bounded
on the north by the Virginia line, east by the Atlantic Ocean, south by the Al-
bemarle Sound, and west by Camden County.
Its court house, on Currituck Sound, is beautifully located, and is distant from
Raleigh 242 miles.

NORTH CAROLINA MANUAL.
GRANVILLE COUNTY.
Granville County was formed in 1746, from Edgecombe county, and was so
called in honor of the owner of the soil.
The King of England (Charles the II.) granted to Sir George Carteret, and
seven other English noblemen, in 1663, a charter for this region, with much
more, and it was called Carolina from him. In 1729 these proprietors surrender-
ed to the English crown all their franchises, except John (son of Sir George Car-
teret, who died in 1696.) He was afterwards created Earl of Granville. He re-
tained his eighth part of the soil. The line was run in 1743. Lord Granville's
territory was from 35 deg., 34 min. south, to the Virginia line on the north, and
from the Atlantic Ocean on the east, to the Pacific Ocean on the west. A most
princely domain.
Its situation is in the northern part of the State, and is bounded on the north
by the Virginia line, east by Warren and Franklin counties, south by Wake, and
west by Person and Orange counties.
Its capital is Oxford, 36 miles north of Raleigh.

HALIFAX COUNTY.
Halifax County was formed inl75&from Edgecombe county, and in this year
the court house for the counties of Edgecombe, Granville and Northampton was
moved from Enfield to the town of Halifax.
It derives its name from the Earl of Halifax, who, in 1758, was the first Lord
of the Board of Trade. " It is a name of Saxon origin, and means 'holy hair,'
from the sacred hair of ]a certain virgin, ^ horn a clerk beheaded, because she
resisted his passion. She was canonized." It is situated in the north-eastern
part of the State, and bounded on the north and east by the Koanoke River,

NORTHAMPTON COUNTY.
Northampton County was formed in 1741, from Bertie ; but history and tra-
dition are alike silent as to the origin of its name. Martin, in his History, merely
states that the Legislature met * * at U ilmington, in the latter part of 1741, and
the session was of short duration ; the county of Bertie was divided, and the
upper part of it established as a new county, to which the name of Northampton,
was given.
It is situated in the north-eastern part of the State ; and bounded on the nortli
by the Virginia Ime, east by Hertford and Bertie, south by Halifax, and west by
the Roanoke River, which separates it from Halifax.
Its capital is Jackson, and preserves the name of Andrew Jackson, the hero,
of New Orleans, and sixth President of the United States.

WAKE COUNTY
Was erected in 1770, from Orange, Johnston and Cumberland.
The troubles arising from the oppression and extortion in this war, induced
Governor Tryon to divide Orange county into three divisions : Guilford, Chatham
and Wake. Wake was so called in compliment to the maiden name of Governor
Tryon's wife.
Wake is bounded on the north by Granville and Franklin counties, on the east
by Franklin and Johnston, on the south by Johnston and Harnett, and on the west
by Chatham and Orange.
In this county is Raleigh, the capital of the State of North Carolina.
Most appropriately does it preserve the name of the statesman and soldier, un-
der whose auspices was fitted out the first expedition that ever landed in the Uni-
ted States. His name is illustrious as a gallant warrior, as a sagacious states-
man, and as a faithful and accurate historian ; he was bom in 1552. Under the
smiles of the "Virgin Queen " Elizabeth, he rose to favor and honors, but after
her death, from the pusillanimous policy of James I, he was condemned for
-offences of which he was innocent, and wtis beheaded in 1618.
