HISTORICAL
THE STATE
North Carolina, often called the "Tar Heel" state, was the scene
of the first attempt to colonize America by English-speaking peo-
ple. Under a charter granted to Sir Walter Raleigh by Queen
Elizabeth, a colony was begun in the 1580's on Roanoke Island.
This settlement, however, was unsuccessful and later became
known as "The Lost Colony."
The first permanent settlement was made about 1650 by immi-
grants from Virginia. In 16 63 Charles II granted to eight Lords
Proprietors a charter for the territory lying "within six and
thirty degrees of the northern latitude, and to the west as far as
the south seas, and so southerly as far as the River St. Mattias.
which bordereth upon the coast of Florida, and within one and
thirty degrees of northern latitude, and so west in a direct line as
tar as the south seas aforesaid; ..." and the colony was called
Carolina. In 1665 another charter was granted to these noblemen.
This charter extended the limits of Carolina so that the northern
line was 36 degrees and 30 minutes north latitude, and the south-
ern line was 2 9 degrees north latitude, and both of these lines ex-
tended westward to the South Seas.
In 1669 John Locke wrote the Fundamental Constitutions as a
model for the government of Carolina. The Lords Proprietors
adopted these constitutions and directed the governor to put into
operation as much of them as was feasible. In 16 70 there were
four precincts (changed to counties in 1739): Pasquotank. Per-
quimans, Chowan, and Currituck. North Carolina now has one
hundred counties.
Carolina on December 7. 1710, was divided into North Carolina
and South Carolina, and Edward Hyde, on May 9. 1712. became
the first governor of North Carolina.
In 17 29 seven of the eight Lords Proprietors sold their interest
in Carolina to the Crown and North Carolina became a royal
colony. George Burrington was the first royal governor. Richard
Everard, the last proprietary governor, served until Burrington
was appointed.
North Carolina, on April 12, 1776, authorized her delegates in
the Continental Congress to vote for independence, and on Decem-
ber 18. 1776, adopted a constitution. Richard Caswell became the
Nonru Carolina .Manual
first governor under this constitution. On November 21, 1789, the
state adopted the United States Constitution, being the twelfth
-tat. in enter the Federal Union. North Carolina, in 1788, had
rejected the Constitution on the grounds that certain amendments
were vital and necessary to a free people.
\ Constitutional convention was held in 1835 and among several
changes made in the Constitution was the method of electing the
governor. After this change the governor was elected by the peo-
pl< for a term of two years instead of being elected by the Legis-
lature for a term of one year. Edward Bishop Dudley was the first
governor elected by the people.
North Carolina seceded from the Union May 20, 1861. and was
readmitted to the Union in July, 1S6S.
A new state Constitution was adopted in 1868 and since that
date the governor has been elected by the people for four-year
terms and he cannot succeed himself. There has not been a new
constitution since 1868, but numerous amendments have been
dded to it.
North Carolina has had a democratic administration since 1900,
during which period it has made its greatest progress.
North Carolina has had two permanent capitals — New Bern and
Raleigh — and there have been three capitol buildings. Tryon's
Palace in New Bern was constructed in the period, 1767-1770, and
'he main building was destroyed by fire February 27, 1798. The
first capitol in Raleigh was completed in 1794 and was destroyed
by tire on June 21. 1831. The present capitol was completed in
1 8 10
The Man in 17 90 ceded her western lands, which was composed
of Washington. Davidson, Hawkins. Greene. Sullivan, Sumner, and
Team ssi . .(unities, to the Federal government, and between 1790
and 1796 the territory was known as Tennessee Territory, but in
1796 it In came the fifteenth state in the Union.
In 1738, the General Assembly of North Carolina passed an act
authorizing the establishment of district courts which served as
ppelant courts. These courts were authorized to be held in Bath.
New Bern, and New- Town — now Wilmington. In 1746, the General
Assembly repealed the act of 1738 and established district courts
to l«e held at Edenton. Wilmington, and Edgecombe. From 17f>4
The State 5
until 17 90. other districts were formed as the state expanded in
territory and developed needs for these districts. By 1790, there
were eight judicial districts divided into two ridings of four dis-
tricts each. In 180 6, the General Assembly passed an act estab-
lishing a superior court in each county. The act also set up judi-
cial districts composed of certain contiguous counties, and this
practice of expanding the districts has continued from five dis-
tricts in 1806 until now there are thirty districts.
When North Carolina adopted the Federal Constitution on No
vember 21, 1789, she was authorized to send two senators and five
representatives to the Congress of the United States according to
the constitutional apportionment. In 1792, when the first federal
census had been completed and tabulated, it was found that North
Carolina was entitled to ten representatives. It was then that the
General Assembly divided the state into ten congressional dis-
tricts. In 1812, the state had grown and increased in population
until it was entitled to thirteen representatives in Congress. Be-
tween 1812 and 1865, however, the population decreased so much
in proportion to the population of other states of the Union that
North Carolina was by that time entitled only to seven repre-
sentatives. After 18 65 the population of the state showed a steady
increase so that beginning in 194 3 North Carolina was entitled
to twelve representatives in Congress. The 1960 census showed
that the state had nearly a half million more people than in 1950,
but this increase was not nearly as much in proportion to that of
some of the other states. North Carolina is now entitled to only
eleven representatives in Congress.
Agriculture
Following several successive years of mounting surpluses of
tobacco in storage, production of flue-cured tobacco came under
the acreage-poundage program for the first time in 1965. Com-
pliance by North Carolina farmers with the terms of this pro-
gram coupled with unfavorable climatic conditions resulted in ;i
1965 reduction from the previous year of 259 million pounds of
flue-cured leaf. Climatic conditions in 1966 were also not favor-
able for optimum yields of tobacco, and marketings were only
(54 million pounds above the 1965 level. Since tobacco is, by
'I XoKTlI (' VROLINA M-VNUAT.
far, i In largest individual agricultural commodity produced in
the State, the loss of poundage was bound to have had its impact
upon ih" agricultural economy of North Carolina.
The loss in quantities sold was offset to some degree by higher
unit prices. Nevertheless, the $455 million value placed on all
tobacco in 1965 was short of the 1964 value by $107 million.
i'.m Heel farmers recovered about $59 million of this loss in their
L966 marketings, but returns from sales of flue-cured tobacco
during the two-year span were $155 million below income at the
196 1 level.
The 1965 corn crop in North Carolina produced an average
yield of 70 bushels per acre to exceed the previous record by 11
bushels per acre. Due to severe drought in June and July, the
yield of the 1966 crop declined to 45 bushels per acre - ■ the
smallest yield since 1959. Production of 61 million bushels of
com for grain in 1966 was only about two-thirds as large as
the 1965 production. Despite higher unit prices in 1966. the
value of the corn crop declined $24 million in 1966.
Climatic conditions were also unfavorable for production of
niton, both in 1965 and 1966. Furthermore, a substantial
proportion of the 1966 acreage was lost through freezing temper-
atures in the spring. Production of 93,000 bales of cotton in
1966 was only about two-fifths as large as the comparatively short
l 965 crop.
On the brighter side is the continuing increase in production
of soybeans and peanuts. The 1966 production for each of these
crops exceeded the previous records established in 1965 by sub-
stantial margins. Also, higher prices received for many of the
agricultural commodities contributed to an increase of $26 mil-
lion over 1965 in the value of all crops harvested in 1966. ■
Production of livestock and livestock products continue to gain
in their contribution to the agricultural income of the State. The
total of $410 million realized from sale of these commodities in
1965 exceeded 1964 by $41 million. Although the 1966 figures
are not yet available, there is every reason to anticipate an addi-
tional increase of some $50 million.
('ash receipts from marketings of all agricultural commodities
in 1965 amounted to $1,190 million, falling $4S million below
The State 7
the record of $1,238 million realized in 1964. With a slight in-
crease expected in receipts from sale of cultivated crops in 1966
and a substantial increase in receipts from sales of livestock and
livestock products, total receipts from agricultural marketings
in 1966 should establish a new record.
The value of agriculture to the State's economy cannot be too
strongly emphasized. In addition to one and one-quarter billion
dollars annual farm income, consideration must be given to the
value added to agricultural commodities through processing,
packaging, and merchandizing. North Carolina farmers spend
more than one-half billion dollars annually for feed, seed, fert-
ilizer, petroleum fuel and oil. and other items essential to agri-
cultural operations.
Conservation and Development
North Carolina moved forward by leaps and bounds during
1965 and 1966, setting the pace for the New South, and press-
ing forward with Governor Dan Moore's program for Total De-
velopment of our State's resources to the best advantage of its
citizens.
Once again, all existing records were shattered in capital in-
vestments announced for new and expanded manufacturing facil-
ities. North Carolina's thriving travel industry set another in-
come record in 19 65, and final 1966 figures are expected to be
even higher. Our State Parks enjoyed new records in attendance
and use by the public. Products manufactured from North Caro-
lina's vast forest resources continued to yield more than $1 bil-
lion annually.
Expansion and development of the technical programs of the
Divisions of Mineral Resources and Geodetic Survey resulted in
more knowledge of our State's resouces, and assistance to many
facet? of the industrial community.
Research and development of North Carolina's valuable ma-
rine and estuarine resources under the supervision of the Division
of Commercial and Sports Fisheries moved ahead at a fast pace,
highlighted by the beginning of construction on a specially-de-
signed research ship named in honor of Governor xMoore.
S North Carolina Manual
The orderly growth and expansion of many of our State's
communities was assured during the past two years, due to
assistance provided by the Division of Community Planning. For
the first time, a training program was established aimed at filling
the critical need for experienced community planning experts in
North Carolina.
In 1965, $482,430,000 was earmarked for the construction of
It',.", new plants and the expansion of 373 existing facilities. The
Qi w and expanded plants created 37,000 new jobs, a record total
for recent years, and additions to industrial payrolls of $136,-
951,000, another all-time high.
Capital investments in new and expanded manufacturing plants
in L965 were 21 percent over the previous high of $398,983,000
recorded in 1964. New jobs created rose 28 percent over the 1964
total and the gain in industrial payrolls in 1965 increased 30
percent over 1964 figures.
Capital investment in new and expanded manufacturing plants
in L966 set an all-time high at $613,581,000, breaking the half-
billion dollar mark for the first time in history. This record-
breaking total created 37,455 new jobs for our State's citizens,
and added another all-time high of $141,812,000 to industrial
payrolls.
The 1966 capital investment registered an increase of 27.2
pi i cent over 1965 figures.
A breakdown of the 19 65 total shows textiles led all indus-
trial classifications in numbers of new projects. 146; in new and
expanded investment, $176,012,000; in employees added, 13,600;
and in payroll additions, $49,063,000.
Total investments in new and expanded chemical projects in
L965 totalled $85,909,000. Rubber and plastics registered a
L965 total capital investment for new and expanded facilities
of $27,917,000.
In 1966, textiles held its lead in total capital investment with
.$216,252,000 for new and expanded facilities, addition of $34,-
2oi', iMHi in industrial payrolls, and the creation of 9,083 new jobs.
The Apparel Industry also registered significant gains in 1966.
Capital investments in new and expanded apparel plants totalled
The State 9
$18,351,000, with added payrolls of $27,567,000 and the creation
of 8,908 new jobs.
In total capital investments for new industries alone, chemicals
and allied products registered the biggest gain with $105,910,000.
The total investment for new and expanded manufacturing facil-
ities in the chemicals and allied products classification totalled
$126,276,000. Added payrolls totalled $7,150,000 and a total
of 1,24 9 new jobs were created.
These new and expanded manufacturing facilities during 19 65
and 19 66 were the direct result of unprecedented cooperation
and teamwork at the local, State and Federal levels. The De-
partment of Conservation and Development continued to work
closely with North Carolina's industrial development organiza-
tions, chambers of commerce, banks, railroads, utility companies,
trucking industry and many other groups to strengthen and
broaden the State's industrial base.
During 1966, a major effort in development of export markets
for North Carolina products was carried out by a far-reaching
mission to Europe called Exportunity 1966. The mission was
conducted with the cooperation and assistance of the United
States Department of Commerce. Secretary of Commerce John
T. Connor hailed results of the mission outstanding, calling it
"... the most ambitious and far-reaching program of its type
ever carried out by a State government."
Exportunity 1966 was divided into four separate parts: a tex-
tiles show, a trade mission, an industrial development mission,
and a travel promotion mission. More than 90 North Carolinians
covered Europe from Sweden to Italy during a one month period,
promoting North Carolina's manufactured products, industrial
advantages, and tourist attractions. As a result of the mission,
many new jobs will be created, European firms are expected to
branch out into North Carolina with manufacturing facilities,
and more European travelers are expected to visit North Carolina.
The new program of Regional Representatives of the Com-
merce and Industry Division in Sylva, Salisbury, Washington
and Lumberton was established and has carried the programs
of industrial development directly to the people.
Tourists and travelers spent $560 million in North Carolina
Id Noutu Cakolina Manual
in 1965, bringing ;i new record for sales and receipts in our
st;iie's billion-dollar travel service and transportation business.
Tourists from outside North Carolina spent $345 million in
our State in 1965. This was the result of a ten percent increase
in tourist expenditures. During the last decade, spending by
visitors from other states lias been increasing at an average
rate of 7.3 percent annually. Trading with tourists has ex-
panded well beyond the 5.7 percent yearly growth rate of all
North Carolina retail business. Meanwhile, the national tourist
market was rising 5.9 percent annually.
Fifteen million tourist parties visited or passed through North
Carolina in 1965, bringing thirty million persons to our State.
They traveled nearly six billion passenger miles on highways,
railways and airways. Out-of-state tourists account for one-fifth
of the nearly twenty-six billion miles of intercity travel by private
and public transportation.
This large volume of spending by the transient tourist market
stimulates North Carolina commerce and industry. Spending
by travelers has created a $1.2 billion business in North Caro-
lina which provides service and transportation for persons away
from home.
These figures are based on the 1965 North Carolina Travel
Survey by Lewis C. Copeland. The 1966 report has not yet been
completed, but all indications are that new records will again
lie set.
The 1965 General Assembly renamed the Division of Com-
mercial Fisheries the Division of Commercial and Sports Fish-
eries, and rewrote all coastal fisheries laws. The Division was
charged with stewardship of the State's marine and estuarine
resources. The new laws further define "all marine and estuarine
resources" as 'all fish, except inland game fish, found in the
Atlantic Ocean and in coastal fishing waters; all fisheries based
upon such fish; all uncultivated or undomesticated plant and ani-
mal life, other than wildlife resources, inhabiting or dependent
upon coastal fishing waters; and the entire ecology supporting
such fish, fisheries, and plant animal life.
A definite shift in Division responsibilities was carried out
with increased emphasis and concern being directed toward the
The State 11
condition and biology of our total fishery resource, regardless of
the commercial or sport uses to which it is subjected. Previous
responsibilities were concerned primarily with the enforcement
of laws and regulations which pertained to the harvest, sale and
transport of fish and fisheries products.
Following the guidance of the General Assembly, the Division
has given increasing attention to all factors which influence
coastal fisheries, has worked with numerous State and federal
agencies concerned with these resources, and has greatly in-
creased its research and development efforts.
The market value of finfish and shellfish to North Carolina
fishermen during the 1964-66 biennium amounted to $25,296,997.
During the 1964-66 biennium, the Division of Community
Planning had 20 6 contracts with 18 2 municipalities and counties
to provide them with technical planning assistance. Of the 86
communities being assisted on June 30, 1966, 43 of them were
undertaking advanced planning programs based on earlier studies
and plans completed in earlier contracts with the Division.
In July 19 66, applications for Federal grant funds were sub-
mitted on behalf of 20 communities.
The Division also initiated in 19 66 its first program to train
professional community planning experts. The work of this
division assures the orderly growth of our State's cities, towns
and counties.
The 19 65 spring forest fire season was more serious than that
of 19 6 4. but not as severe as the 19 63 spring fire season. The
serious drought of fall 19 65 continued into the latter part of
April 1966. This drought, coupled with unfavorable atmos-
pheric conditions, resulted in a severe 1966 spring fire season.
Forest fire losses in 1966, under abnormal conditions similar to
those of 1963, were reduced by 46 percent with about a three
percent reduction in the number of fires.
The U. S. Forest Service has completed a forest survey of
North Carolina and published preliminary forest resource sta-
tistics, which continue to emphasize the importance of forest
resources to the economy of our State. The wood-using industry
produces well over a billion dollars annually in terms of finished
products The perpetuation of these benefits from the State's
12 North Carolina Manual
forests depends upon maintaining a favorable balance of timber
-row ili over ilif drain from harvesting raw materials and losses
<lue to timber mortality.
For the first time in several years, a safe margin in this
favorable balance lias been lost due to expansion of our wood-
using industries. Improvement in this situation is imperative
if we are to hold and expand our forest industries and continue
to enjoy the resulting economic benefits. More than 245,000
small landowners control seventy-eight percent of our State's
L'n million acres of forest lands. These lands owned by small
landowners are currently capable of sustaining a higher growth
rate than they are at present. The Forestry Division is the only
agency capable of causing material improvement in small owner-
ship forestry. The future supply of forest raw materials depends
on the effectiveness of the Division's programs.
.More than 40 million tree seedlings are produced annually at
the Division's four nurseries and supplied to landowners at cost
of production. Forest fire control procedures and training con-
tinues to become more effective. Pest and insect control efforts
have minimized timber mortality and growth loss, but are in
need of increased support in order to remain at its current high
level of effectiveness.
The Division of Geodetic Survey is charged with surveying of
the State to determine the exact positions of various points,
mathematically taking into account the curvature of the earth's
surface. Fxpansion of this division has been proposed and dur-
ing the 1964-66 biennium, 835 control markers were established
in North Carolina.
The work of the division has been singled out for its accuracy
and excellence, and a paper outlining the duties and organization
of the division was presented to the 1967 annual meeting of the
American Congress of Mapping and Surveying.
The value of mineral production in North Carolina totalled
si'ei.4 million in 1965, reflecting the increasing importance of
I he mineral industry to the State's overall economic development.
According to preliminary estimates prepared by the Bureau
of .Mines, U.S. Department of the Interior, 1966, value of mineral
production in North Carolina increased 9 percent over 1965 to
a total of $65.7 million, setting a new record high.
The State 13
Principal minerals mined were stone, sand and gravel, feldspar,
mica, and lithium minerals. In addition, the first shipment of
phosphate rock from new mining activities in eastern North
Carolina was made April 1, 1966.
Use by the public of North Carolina's 13 State Parks con-
tinued to increase by leaps and bounds during 1965 and 1966,
setting new records each year. The emphasis on total use of the
park facilities has generated more swimming, camping, hiking,
boating and fishing by park users.
In 1965, 2,092,519 persons visited the State Parks, a record
high for total attendance.
In 1966, a new record for total attendance of 2,182,300 was
recorded, showing an increase of almost 90,000 over the previous
year.
Planned improvements of current park facilities and an
orderly program of expansion is being carried out by the State
Parks Division, aimed at preserving, protecting and renewing
the quality of those natural resources for which it is responsible.
The North Carolina Department of Conservation and Develop-
ment is proud of our State's accomplishments during the past
two years, and looks forward to ever greater progress toward
"Total Development" in the coming years. Without the co-
operation and efforts of countless citizens, State, Federal and
local officials, this record of achievement would not be nearly
as impressive.
Public Health in North Carolina
North Carolina has a vigorous and effective program of public
health.
The State Board of Health and the 66 local health departments
serving the 100 counties assure an alert concern for the healtb
conditions in all facilities serving the public. Basic State laws
empower the health departments to inspect and regulate condi-
tions affecting health.
While there were various laws and statutes relating to public
health measures passed prior to that time, the State Board of
Health was created by the General Assembly of 1877, and lias
l 1 North Carolina Manual
been functioning, with changes from time to time, ever since. The
General Assembly of 1957 recodified, and to a considerable extent
modernized, all public health and related laws of North Carolina.
This was done for purposes of coordination and clarification.
Guilford has the distinction of being the first county in the United
states to inaugurate full-time county health work. June 20, 1911. The
following year, Robeson became the first purely rural county in
the United States to take this step, but it was not until July 1,
1949 thai the last four counties provided this service.
There has been continued progress in public health in these
more than five decades. Illustrations of this can be found in every
aspect of the legal responsibilities placed upon the State Board of
Health. Among these may be noted: compulsory immunization ol
children beginning at two months of age for poliomyelitis; li-
censure of nursing and combination nursing and homes for the
aged and infirm; surveys in the areas of air pollution and en-
vironmental health; and the establishment of a coordinated State
Radiological Program. North Carolina published the nation's
first Occupational Health Manual in 1961.
The State Hoard of Health is the State agency administering
the Health Insurance Benefits Program (Medicare). Over a
million eight hundred thousand dollars a year is being spent on
surgical, medical and hospital service to handicapped children.
We have a progressive school health coordinating unit and pro-
grams of service are being carried on for the aged and for the
chronically ill. Many preventive services are rendered by the
modern Laboratory Division and by both the consultant staff oi
the State Hoard and by the staffs of the local health departments.
State Highway Ststkms
Oil January 1, 1966, the State had under its direct jurisdiction
72,822 miles of highways, roads and streets, a distance equivalent
to almost three times around the world at the equator. This vast
mileage is almost 10 per cent of the gross length of all mileage
under State control in the entire Nation. The three basic sys-
tems in this North Carolina network are as follows:
Tim Primary State Highway System in rural areas is made up
The State 15
of the U. S., N. C. and Interstate numbered routes, and has a
length of 11,566 miles, substantially all hard surfaced. The larg-
est of the three systems is the Rural Secondary System of 57,959
miles, of which 29.810 miles are paved — the remainder being sur-
faced with stone, soil or other all weather material. There is
more rural paving in North Carolina than in any other state except
Texas, California, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Wisconsin.
Some 96% of the State's rural people live on, or within one mile
of a paved highway or road.
In addition to these two rural systems, the State has jurisdiction
over 3,297 miles of streets which form a part of the State High-
way and Road systems in municipalities. Of this Municipal Sys-
tem, 3,090 miles are paved.
Combining the three systems, the State operates a network of
4 4.391 miles of paved and 28,431 miles of unpaved highways,
roads and streets. The State has direct jurisdiction over more
mileage than has any other road governing body in the nation
In terms of size and population, no other state exceeds North
Carolina in the extent of road services provided for its people.
There are no toll roads or bridges in North Carolina.
Major emphasis is now being placed on modernizing many ob-
solete sections of the Primary System, mainly from the $300
million Bond Issue authorized in the Statewide referendum of
November. 1965; completing the Interstate Highway System;
and starting the Appalachian Highway Program. Some 386 miles
of the Interstate have already been built to final standards and
opened to traffic.
Since 1921. the entire Road and Highway Program of the State
has been financed exclusively from the gasoline tax. motor vehicle
license fees and Federal Aid. without recourse to property tax-
ation or aid from the General State Fund. During the past fiscal
year ending June 30, 1966. the State Highway Fund, including
Federal Aid. expended $244,621,581 for highway, road, and street
construction, maintenance, betterments and improvements, in-
cluding the operation of the Motor Vehicle Department. Highwaj
Patrol, Highway Safety Division, other state agencies, and the
retirement of Secondary Road Ponds.
RtKM Electric ami Telephone Servick
Rural areas of North Carolina received little benefits from
rural electrification prior to 1935. which is often spoken of as
1 6 N'ni: i ii Carolina Manual
the starting point. At thai time, only 1.SS4 miles or rural lines
serving LI, 558 farms were recorded by the North Carolina Rural
Electrification Authority, which was created in that year to secure
electric service for the rural areas. Today the Authority reports
in operation 97,786 miles of rural lines serving 900,456 con-
sumers. In addition to this, there were 237 miles under con-
struction or authorized for construction to serve 3,036 consumers.
Electrification has contributed considerably to the great progress
in agricultural development over the past few years. The electri-
fied farm provided for comfort and health in farm living through
lighting, refrigeration, communication, ranges, washing machines.
freezers, plumbing and all other many useful household electric
appliances.
Electric service is essential to modern farm production. Elec-
tricity is used by farmers in many ways — yard and building light-
ing; running water; poultry incubators, brooders, and feeders;
livestock feeding; milking; grain and hay driers; irrigation; and
many other electric-motor driven pieces of farm producing equip-
ment. Electricity affords fire protection and the operation of
many labor-saving devices for the rural home and farm activities.
Electric service is practically essential in types of farm produc-
tion; for example, the production of Grade A Milk.
The 1945 United States Census indicated that only 14,539 North
Carolina farms had telephone service. The desire and need in the
rural areas for communication, so essential to the well-being of
the people was so widespread that the 1945 General Assembly
enacted the Rural Telephone Act, charging the North Carolina
Rural Electrification Authority with the responsibility of assist-
ing rural residences in securing telephone service. Funds and
personnel were first assigned to the program in 1949, which might
well be termed the active beginning. Through the activities of
the State Authority and other State agencies and as a result of
cooperation on the part of the telephone industry and the organ-
ization of a number of member-owned Telephone Membership
Corporations, over eight times as many farms now have telephone
service as in 1945. In addition, a. greater number of rural non-
farm residences also have service.
Public Schools
North Carolina provides a basic State-supported nine months
public school term, which is supplemented by the 169 local school
The State 17
administrative units. Public school enrollment in 1965-66 was
1,201,139, the ninth largest enrollment of the 50 states. At-
tendance is compulsory for children between the ages of 7 and
16. There were 48,631 teachers, principals and supervisors in
1965-66. Nearly 60 percent of all general fund taxes collected
by the State are used for elementary and secondary schools. The
State finances operation of a fleet of 9,10 8 buses, transporting
592,318 pupils to the public schools. In 1965-66, there were
2,164 separated organized public schools in the State, and the
total value of public school property was $994,752,404. Ex-
penditures per pupii for current expenses included $2 67.5 6 from
State funds, $55.36 from federal funds, and $45.37 from local
sources. The State Board of Education, with three ex-officio
members and ten members appointed by the Governor and con-
firmed by the General Assembly, has responsibility for the general
supervision and administration of the public school system and
of the educational funds provided by the State and Federal gov-
ernments; for the formulation of ru'es, regulations and policies
concerning instructional programs and for fiscal matters. The
State Superintendent of Public Instruction is the administrative
head of the public school system and secretary of the State Board
of Education. Elected every four years by popular vote, he is
responsible for administering the instructional policies estab-
lished by the Board, for organizing and establishing the State
Department of Public Instruction, and for other matters relating
to administration and supervision, excluding fiscal matters. The
Controller of the State Board of Education is the executive ad-
ministrator of the Board in the supervision and management of
fiscal affairs, including the budgeting, allocation, accounting,
certification, auditing and disbursing of public school funds ad-
ministered by the Board.
Community Colleges
The 19 63 General Assembly, following recommendations of the
Governor's Commission on Education Beyond the High School,
enacted legislation authorizing the establishment of a system of
community colleges, technical institutes and industrial education
centers. The Department of Community Colleges, under the
direction of the State Board of Education, is responsible for State
is Nobth Carolina Manual
level administration of this system. These three types of institu-
tions are commuting, nonresident, multipurpose and community
centered, offering to high school graduates and others beyond the
normal high school age opportunities for two-year college par-
allel programs, technical programs, vocational programs and
general adult and community service courses. Institutions in op-
• ration in the fall of 1!)66 were 12 community colleges, 17 tech-
nical institutes, one industrial educational center, and 13 exten-
sion units of these institutions. The average annual full-time
equivalent enrollment for the 43 institutions in 1965-66 was
25.704. These students were instructed by 986 faculty members.
Colleges am» Universities
The University of North Carolina, chartered in 17S9, was the
first State University in the United States to open its doors.
Today, the University of North Carolina is composed of four
units: the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North
Carolina State University at Raleigh, University of North Carolina
at Charlotte, and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
There are twelve tax-supported senior colleges located through-
out the State: Agricultural and Technical College (Greensboro).
Appalachian State Teachers College (Boone). Asheville-Biltmore
College (Asheville), East Carolina College (Greenville). Eliza-
beth City State College (Elizabeth City). Fayetteville State Col-
lege (Fayetteville), North Carolina College at Durham (Dur-
ham i North Carolina School of the Arts (Winston-Salem).
Pembroke State College (Pembroke), Western Carolina College
i Cullowhee ) , Wilmington College (Wilmington) and Winston-
Salem State College (Winston-Salem).
Twelve tax-supported State community colleges, requiring lo-
cal financial support in addition to State funds, are in operation:
Central Piedmont Community College (Charlotte). College of the
Albemarle (Elizabeth City). Davidson County Community Col-
lege (Lexington). Gaston College (Gastonia). Isothermal Com-
munity College (Spindale). Lenoir County Community College
(Kinston). Rockingham Community College (Wentworth), Sand-
nills Community College (Southern Pines). Southeastern Com-
munity College ( Whiteville ) . Surry Community College (Dob-
Tiik Statk 19
son), Western Piedmont Community College (Morganton), and
Wilkes Community College ( Wilkesboro) .
In all there are seventy institutions of higher learning in the
State. Among the forty-two private or church-related institu-
tions, there are: one university (Duke University in Durham, one
of the most heavily endowed institutions of higher learning in
the world), twenty-seven senior colleges, fourteen junior colleges,
one theological seminary, and three Bible colleges.
Total college enrollment in North Carolina institutions of high-
er learning, both public and private, was 112,805 in Pall 1966.
and 104,852 in Fall 1965.
Legal responsibility for planning and promoting a sound, vig-
orous, progressive and coordinated system of higher education
for the State rests with the State Board of Higher Education
Established by the 1955 General Assembly, the Board seeks tli.
cooperation of other agencies and colleges, public and private,
in developing a system of higher education that meets the State -
ongoing and future needs at the highest level of excellence.

THE STATE CAPITOL
The original State Capital of North Carolina was destroyed by
fire on June 21, 1831.
At the session of November, 1832, the Assembly resolved to
rebuild on the old site, and $50,000 was appropriated for the pur-
pose. Commissioners were appointed to have the work done. The
rubbish was cleared away, the excavations made and the founda-
tions were laid. On July 4, 1833, the cornerstone was set in place.
After the foundations were laid the work progressed more slow-
ly and it was so expensive that the appropriation was exhausted.
The Legislature at its next session appropriated $75,000 more.
To do the stone and finer work many skilled artisans had been
brought from Scotland and other countries. The Building Com-
missioners contracted with David Paton to come to Raleigh and
superintend the work. Mr. Paton was an architect who had come
from Scotland the year before. He was the builder, the architect,
and designer.
The Legislature was compelled to make appropriations for the
work from time to time. The following is a table of the several
appropriations made:
Session of 1S32-33 _$ 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 lS38-39_ 105,300.00
Session of 1840-41_ 31,374.46
Total $531,674.46
The stone with which the building was erected was the property
of the State. Had the State been compelled to purchase this ma-
terial the cost of the Capitol would have been considerably in-
creased.
In the summer of 18 40 the work was finished. 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
21
22 North Carolina Manual
and when the entire taxes for ;ill 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
in the people. Indeed, never was money better expended Than in
the erection of this noble Capitol.
Description of the Capitol, Written by David Pa ton,
the Architect
"The State Capitol is 1 HO feet in length from north to south
by 1 4 ii feet from east to west. The whole height is 97% feet in the
center. The apex of pediment is t>4 feet in height. The stylobate
is 18 feel in height. The columns of the east and west porticoes
-.ivv :> feel l"l> inches in diameter. An entablature, including block-
ing 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 Lanthorn of Demosthenes.
The 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
Comptroller, each having two rooms of the same size — the one
containing an area of H49 square feet, the other 528 square feet
the two committee rooms, each containing 200 square feet and
four closets; also the rotunda, corridors, vestibules, and piazzas,
contain an area of 1,370 square feet. The vestibules are decor-
ated with columns and antae, similar to those of the Ionic Tem-
ple on the Missus, 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 latter
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 <>ach an area of 154 square feet: also, two rooms enter
The Capitol 23
from Representatives' chamber, each containing an area of L70
square feet; of two committee rooms, each containing an area
of 231 square feet; of four presses and the passages, stairs, lob-
bies, and colonnades, containing an area of 3,204 square feet.
"The lobbies and Hall of Representatives have their columns
and antae of the Octagon Tower of Andronicus Cyrrhestes and the
plan of the hall is of the formation of the Greek theatre 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
Supreme 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."

THE STATE LEGISLATIVE BUILDING*
(Named by Ch. 8, SL 1963)
By Ralph B. Reeves, Jr.
The Building Commission
The 1959 General Assembly appropriated funds and authorized
the establishment of a Building Commission for the construction
of a new building for the Legislative Branch of the State Govern-
ment. The statute provided that two members be appointed by
each Presiding Officer of the two Houses and that three be ap-
pointed by the Governor.
Archie K. Davis and Robert P. Morgan were appointed by Lieu-
tenant Governor Luther E. Barnhardt; B. I. Satterfield and
Thomas J. White were appointed by Speaker of the House Addi-
son Hewlett; and Governor Hodges appointed A. E. Finley, Ed-
win Gill, and Oliver R. Rowe.
The Commission elected Thomas J. White as Chairman and
Robert F. Morgan as Vice Chairman. Paul A. Johnston, Director
of the Department of Administration, was elected Executive Secre-
tary; and upon his resignation, the Commission elected Prank B.
Turner, State Property Officer, to succeed him.
To perform architectural services, the Commission selected Ed-
ward Durell Stone of New York with John S. Holloway and Ralph
B. Reeves, Jr., Associated.
After prolonged study, the Commission selected a site one block
North of the Capitol and encompassing a two-block area. The 5%-
acre site is bounded by Jones, Salisbury, Lane, and Wilmington
streets. Halifax Street between Jones and Lane streets was closed
and included within the new site.
Bids were received in December, 1960; construction commenced
in early 1961. The 1961 General Assembly appropriated an addi-
tional $1 million for furnishings and equipment bringing the total
appropriation to $5% million.
Based upon the latest census, the cost of the building to citizens
of North Carolina was $1.24 each.

Description of the Building'
The State Legislative Building, though not an imitation of his-
Loric classical styles, is classical in character. Rising from a 340-
fool wide podium of North Carolina granite, the building proper is
2 I- feel square. The walls and the columns are of Vermont mar-
ble, the latter forming a colonnade encompassing the building
and reaching 24 feel from the podium to the roof of the second
Hoor.
Inset in the south podium floor, at the main entrance, is a 28-
fool diameter terrazzo mosaic of the Great Seal of the State. From
the first floor main entrance (at Jones Street) the carpeted 22-
I'oot wide main stair extends directly to the third floor and the
public galleries of the Senate and House, the auditorium, the dis-
play area, and the roof gardens.
The four garden courts are located at the corners of the build-
ing. These courts contain tropical plants, and three have pools,
fountains, and hanging planters. The main floor areas of the
courts are located in the first floor, and mezzanines overlook the
courts from the second floor. The skylights which provide natural
lighting are located within the roof gardens overhead. The courts
provide access to committee rooms in the first floor, the legislative
chambers in the second floor, and to members' offices in both
floors.
The Senate and House chambers, each 5,180 square feet in
area, occupy the east and west wings of the second floor. Follow-
ing the traditional relationship of the two chambers in the Cap-
itol, the two spaces are divided by the rotunda; and when the
main brass doors are open, the two presiding officers face one
another. Each pair of brass doors weigh 1,5 0 0 pounds.
The five pyramidal roofs covering the Senate and House cham-
bers, the auditorium, the main stair, and the rotunda are sheathed
with copper, as is the Capitol. The pyramidal shape of the roofs
is visible in the pointed ceilings inside. The structural ribs form
a coffered ceiling; and inside the coffered patterns, concentric
patterns are outlined in gold. In each chamber, the distance from
the floor to the peak of the ceiling is 45 feet.
Chandeliers in the chambers and main stair are 8 feet in dia-
meter and weigh 625 pounds each. The 12-foot diameter chan-
delier of the rotunda, like the others, is of brass, but its weight
is 750 pounds.
The Capitol 27
Because of the interior environment, the garden courts and
rotunda have tropical plants and trees. Outside, however, the
shrubs and trees are of an indigenous type. Among the trees in
the grounds, on the podium, and in the roof areas are sugar
maples, dogwoods, crabapples, magnolias, crepe myrtles, and
pines.
Throughout the building, the same color scheme is maintained:
Walnut, white, gold, and red, with green foliage. In general, all
wood is American walnut, metal is brass or other gold colored
material, carpets are red, and upholstery is gold or black.
The enclosed area consists of 206,000 square feet of floor area
with a volume of 3,210,000 cubic feet. Heating equipment pro-
vides over 7,000,000 B.T.U. per hour; and the cooling equipment
has a capacity of 620 tons. For lighting, motors, and other elec-
trical equipment, the building has a connected service load of
over 2,000,000 watts.

THE STATE FLAG
An Act to Establish a State Flag
The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact :
Section 1. That the flag of North Carolina shall consist of a
blue union, containing in the center thereof a white star with tin
letter N in gilt on the left and the letter C in gilt on the righl <>i
said star, the circle containing the same to be one-third the width of
the union.
Sec. 2. That the fly of the flag shall consist of two equally pro-
portioned bars; the upper bar to be red, the lower bar to be white;
that the length of the bars horizontally shall be equal to the per-
pendicular length of the union, and the total length of the flag
shall be one-third more than its width.
Sec. 3. That above the star in the center of the union there
shall be a gilt scroll in semicircular form, containing in black let-
ters this inscription: "May 20th, 1775," and that below the star
there shall be a similar scroll containing in black letters the in-
scription: "April 12th, 1776."
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this 9th
day of March, A.D., 1885.
No change has been made in the flag since the passage of this
act. By an act of 1907 it is provided:
"That the board of trustees or managers of the several State
institutions and public buildings shall provide a North Carolina flag,
of such dimensions and materials as they may deem best, and the
same shall be displayed from a staff upon the top of each and
every such building at all times except during inclement weather,
and upon the death of any State officer or any prominent citizen
the Flag shall be put at half-mast until the burial of such person
shall have taken place.
"That the Board of County Commissioners of the several coun-
ties in this State shall likewise authorize the procuring of a North
Carolina flag, to be displayed either on a staff upon the top, or
draped behind the Judge's stand, in each and every courthouse in
the State, and that the State flag shall be displayed at each and
every term of court held, and on such other public occasions as
the Commissioners may deem proper." (Rev., s. 5321; 1885 c. 291;
1907, c. 838.)

viz:
1. Resolved. That whosoever directly or indirectly abetted or in
any way form or manner contenanced the unchartered and dan-
gerous invasion of our rights as claimed by Great Britain is an
enemy to this country, to America, and to the inherent and in-
alienable rights of man.
2. Resolved. That we the citizens of Mecklenburg County, do
hereby dissolve the political bands which have connected us to the
mother country and hereby absolve ourselves from all allegiance
to the British Crown and abjure all political connection contract
or association with that nation who have wantonly trampled on

patriots at Lexington.
3. Resolved. Thai we do hereby declare ourselves a free and in-

self-governing association under the control of no power other
than that of our God and the General Government of the Congress
to the maintenance of which independence we solemnly pledge to
each other our mutual cooperation, our lives, our fortunes, and our
most sacred honor.
4. Resolved, That as we now acknowledge the existence and con-
trol of no law or legal officer, civil or military within this County,
we do hereby ordain and adopt as a rule of life all, each and
every of our former laws — wherein nevertheless the Crown of
Great Britain never can be considered as holding rights, privileges,
immunities, or authority therein.
5. Resolved, That it is further decreed that all, each and every
Military Officer in this County is hereby reinstated in his former
command and authority, he acting conformably to these regnla
tions. And that every member present of this delegation shall
henceforth be a civil officer, viz., a justice of the peace, in the
character of a "committee man" to issue process, hear and deter-
mine all matters of controversy according to said adopted laws
and to preserve peace, union and harmony in said county, and
to use every exertion to spread the love of Country and fire of
freedom throughout America, until a more general and organized
government be established in this Province.
THE GREAT SEAL
The Constitution of North Carolina, Article III, section 1(1, re-
i|u ires i hai
"There shall be a seal of the State which shall be kept by the
Governor, and used by him as occasion may require, and shall be
called The Great Seal of the State of North Carolina.' All grants
and Commissions shall be issued in the name and by the authority
of the State of North Carolina, sealed with 'The Great Seal of the
State,' signed by the Governor and countersigned by the Secretary
of State."
The use of a Great Seal for the attestation of important docu-
ments began with the institution of government in North Carolina.
There have been at various times nine different seals in use in the
i olony and State.
The present Great Seal of the State of North Carolina is de-
scribed as follows:
"The Creat Seal of the State of North Carolina is two and one-
quarter inches in diameter, and its design is a representation of
the figures of Liberty and Plenty, looking toward each other, but
not more than half fronting each other, and otherwise disposed, as
follows: Liberty, the first figure, standing, her pole with cap on it
in her left hand and a scroll with the word 'Constitution' inscribed
thereon in her right hand. Plenty, the second figure, sitting down.
her right arm half extended toward Liberty, three heads of wheat
in her right hand, and in her left the small end of her horn, the

THE STATE BIRD
By popular choice the Cardinal was selected for adoption as
our State Bird as of March 4, 1943. (S. L. 1943 c. 595; G. S.
145-2).
This bird is sometimes called the Winter Redbird because it is
most conspicuous in winter and is the only "redbird" present al
that season. It is an all year round resident and one of the com-
monest birds in our gardens and thickets. It is about the size of a
Catbird with a longer tail, red all over, except that the throat and
region around the bill is black; the head is conspicuously crested
and the large stout bill is red; the female is much duller — the red
being mostly confined to the crest, wings and tail. There are no
seasonal changes in the plumage.
The Cardinal is a fine singer, and what is unusual among birds
the female is said to sing as well as the male, which latter sex
usually has a monopoly of that art in the feathered throngs.
The nest is rather an untidy affair built of weed stems, grass
and similar materials in a low shrub, small tree or bunch of briars,
usually not over four feet above the ground. The usual number
of eggs to a set is three in this State, usually four further North.
Possibly the Cardinal raises an extra brood down here to make
up the difference, or possibly he can keep up his normal population
more easily here through not having to face inclement winters
of the colder North. A conspicuous bird faces more hazards.
The cardinal is by nature a seed eater, but he does not dislike
small fruits and insects.

THE HALIFAX RESOLUTION
Adopted by the Provincial Congress of North Carolina in Session
al Halifax, April 12, 1776.
"The Select Committee taking into Consideration the usurpa-
tions and violences attempted and committed by the King and
Parliamenl of Britain against America, and the further Measures
to be taken for frustrating the same, and for the better defence of
this province reported as follows, to wit,
"It appeals to your Committee that pursuant to the Plan con-
certed by the British Ministry for subjugating America, the King
and Parliamenl of Great Britain have usurped a Power over the
Persons and Properties of the People unlimited and uncontrouled;
and disregarding their humble Petitions for Peace, Liberty and
safety, have made divers Legislative Acts, denouncing War Fam-
ine and every Species of Calamity against the Continent in Gen-
eral. That British Fleets and Armies have been and still are
daily employed in destroying the People and commiting the most
horrid devastations on the Country. That Governors in different
Colonies have declared Protection to Slaves who should imbrue
their Hands in the Blood of their Masters. That the Ships belong-
ing to America are declared prizes of War and many of them have
been violently seized and confiscated in consequence of which
multitudes of the people have been destroyed or from easy Cir-
cumstances reduced to the most Lamentable distress.
•And whereas the moderation hitherto manifested by the United
Colonies and their sincere desire to be reconciled to the mother
Country on Constitutional Principles, have procured no mitigation
of the aforesaid Wrongs and usurpations, and no hopes remain of
obtaining redress by those Means alone which have been hitherto
tried. Your Committee are of Opinion that the house should enter
into the following Resolve, to wit
"Resolved that the delegates for this Colony in the Continental
Congress he impowered to concur with the delegates of the other
Colonies in declaring Independency, and forming foreign Alli-
ances, reserving to this Colony the Sole, and Exclusive right of
forming a Constitution and Laws for this Colony, and of appoint-
ing delegates From time to time (under the direction of a general
Representation thereof) to meet the delegates of the other Col-
onies for such purposes as shall be hereafter pointed out."
NAME OF STATE AND NICKNAMES
In 1629 King Charles the First of England "erected into a
province," all the land from Albemarle Sound on the north to the
St. John's River on the south, which he directed should be called
Carolina. The word Carolina is from the word Carolus, the Latin
form of Charles.
When Carolina was divided in 1710, the southern part was
called Souuth Carolina and the northern or older settlement was
called North Carolina, or the "Old North State." Historians had
recorded the fact that the principal products of this State were
"tar, pitch and turpentine." It was during one of the fiercest
battles of the War Between the States, so the story goes, that the
column supporting the North Carolina troops was driven from the
field. After the battle the North Carolinians, who had successfully
fought it out alone, were greeted from the passing derelict regi-
ment with the question: "Any more tar down in the Old North
State, boys?" Quick as a flash came the answer: "No; not a bit;
old Jeff's bought it all up." "Is that so; what is he going to do
with it?" was asked. "He is going to put it on you-uns heels to
make you stick better in the next fight." Creecy relates that Gen-
eral Lee, hearing of the incident, said: "God bless the Tar Heel
boys," and from that they took the name. — Adapted from Grand-
father Tales of North Carolina by R. B. Creecy and Histories of
North Carolina Regiments, Vol. Ill, by Walter Clark.
The State Motto
The General Assembly of 1893 (chapter 145) adopted the words
"Esse Quam Videri" as the State's motto and directed that these
words with the date "20 May, 1775," should be placed with our
Coat of Arms upon the Great Seal of the State.
The words "Esse Quam Videri" mean "to be rather than to
seem." Nearly every State has adopted a motto, generally in Latin.
The reason for their mottoes being in Latin is that the Latin
tongue is far more condensed and terse that the English. The
three words, "Esse Quam Videri," require at least six English
words to express the same idea.
Curiosity has been aroused to learn the origin of our Stat.'
motto. It is found in Cicero in his essay on Friendship (Cicero de
Amicitia, Chap. 26)
43
1 1 North C vhoi i \ \ M \\r.\i.
It is a little singular thai until the act of 1893 the sovereign
State of North Carolina had no motto since its declaration of in-
dependence. It was our of the verj few states which did not have
;; motto and the only one of the original thirteen without one.
I Rev., s 5320; 1893, c. 1 15; G. S. 144-2.)
The State Colors
The General Assembly of L945 declared Red and Blue of shades
appearing in the North Carolina State Flag and the American
Flag as the official State Colors. (Session Laws. 1945, c. 878.)
The State Flower
The General Assembly of 1941 designated the dogwood as the
State flower. (Public Laws. mil. c. 289; G. S. 145-1.)
The State Song
The song known as "The Old North State" was adopted as the
official sons; of the State of North Carolina by the General Assem-
bly of L927. I Public Laws. 1927. c. 26; G.S. 149-1).
The State Shell
The Genera] Assembly of 1965 designated the Scotch Bonnet
as the State Shell. (Session Laws, 1965, c. 681).
The State Tree
The pine was officially designated as the State tree by the General
Assembly of L963. (Session Laws, 1963, c. 41).
The State Toast
Officially adopted as the toast of North Carolina by the General
Assembly of 1957. (Session Laws, 1957. c. 777 I.
Here's to the land of the long leaf pine,
The summer land where the sun doth shine,
Where the weak grow strong and the strong grow great,
Here's to "Down Home," the Old North State!
Here's to the land of the cotton bloom white.
Where the scuppernong perfumes the breeze at night,
Where the soft southern moss and jessamine mate,
'Neath the murmuring pines of the Old North State!

CONSTITUTION
OF THE
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA
PREAMBLE
We, the people of the State of North Carolina, grateful to Almighty
God, the Sovereign Ruler of Nations, for the preservation of the
American Union and the existence of our civil, political and religious
liberties, and acknowledging our dependence upon Him for the con-
tinuance 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
DECLARATION OF RIGHTS
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
American people may be defined and affirmed, we do declare:
Section 1. The equality and rights of persons. That we hold it
to be self-evident that all persons are created equal; that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that
among these are life, liberty, the enjoyment of the fruits of their
own labor, and the pursuit of happiness.
Sec. 2. Political -power and government. 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 whole.
Sec. 3. Internal government of the State. That the people of
this State have the inherent, sole and exclusive right of regulat-
ing the internal government and police thereof, and of altering and
abolishing their Constitution and form of government whenever
it may be necessary to their safety and happiness; but every such
in
50 Xoin ii (' \i:oi i \ \ M w i \i.
right should be exercised in pursuance of law. and consistently
with the Constitution of the United States.
Sec. 4 That there is no right to secede. That this State shall
evei remain a member of the American Union; that the people
thereof arc a part of the American Nation; that there is no right
on the part of the State to secede, and that all attempts, from
whatever source or upon whatever pretext, to dissolve said Union
or to sever said Nation, oughl to be resisted with the whole power
of the State.
Sec. r>. Of allegiance to the United States Government. That
every citizen of this State owes paramount allegiance to the Con-
stitution and Government of the United States, and that no law or
ordinance of the State in contravention or subversion thereof can
have any binding force.
Sec. 6. Public debt; bonds issued under Ordinance of Conven-
tion of 1868, '68-69, '69-70, declared invalid; exception. The State
shall never assume or pay, or authorize the collection 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, either at its special session of the year one thou-
sand eight hundred and sixty-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 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. Exclusive emoluments, etc. No person or set of persons
are entitled to exclusive or separate emoluments or privileges from
the community but in consideration of public services.
Constitution
Sec. 8. The legislative, executive and judicial poivers distinct.
The legislative, executive, and supreme judicial powers of the
government ought to be forever separate and distinct from each
other.
Sec. 9. Of the power of suspending laws. All power of suspend
ing laws, or the execution of laws, by any authority, without the
consent of the representatives of the people, is injurious to their
rights, and ought not to be exercised.
Sec. 10 Elections free. All elections ought to be free.
Sec. 11. In criminal prosecutions. In all criminal prosecutions,
every person charged with crime has the right to be informed of
the accusation and to confront the accusers and witnesses with
other testimony, and to have counsel for defense, and not be com-
pelled to give self-incriminating evidence, or to pay costs, jail fees,
or necessary witness fees of the defense, unless found guilty.
Sec. 12. Ansxcers to criminal charges. No person shall be put
to answer any criminal charge except as hereinafter allowed, but
by indictment, presentment, or impeachment. But any person,
when represented by counsel, may, under such regulations as the
Legislature shall prescribe, waive indictment in all except capital
cases.
Sec. 13. Right of jury. No Person shall be convicted of any
crime but by the unanimous verdict of a jury of good and lawful
persons in open court. The Legislature may, however, provide
other means of trial, for petty misdemeanors, with the right of
appeal.
Sec. 14. Excessive bail. Excessive bail should not be required,
nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel or unusual punishments in-
flicted.
Sec. 15. General warrants. General warrants, whereby any offi-
cer or messenger may be commanded to search suspected places,
without evidence of the act committed, or to seize any person or
persons not named, whose offense is not particularly described and
supported by evidence, are dangerous to liberty and ought not in
be granted.
Sec. 16. Imprisonment for debt. There shall be no imprison-
ment for debt in this State, except in cases of fraud.
52 Xoki ii (' \i:oi.i \ a M \ \iai.
Sec. 17. No persons taken, etc., but by law of land. No person
ought lo be taken, imprisoned or disseized of his freehold, liber-
ties, or privileges, or outlawed or exiled, or in any manner deprived
of his life, liberty or property, but by fhe law of the land.
Sec. is. Persons restrained of liberty. Every person restrained
of his liberty is entitled to a remedy to inquire into the lawfulness
thereof, and to remove the same, if unlawful; and such remedy
ought not to be denied or delayed.
Sec. lit. Controversies at law respecting property. In all con-
troversies at law respecting property, the ancient mode of trial
by jury is one of the best securities of the rights of the people,
and ought to remain sacred and inviolable. No person shall be
excluded from jury service on account of sex.
Sec. 20. Freedom of the press. The freedom of the press is one
of the great bulwarks of liberty, and therefore ought never to be
restrained, but every individual shall be held responsible for the
abuse of the same.
Sec. 21. Habeas corpus. The privilege of the writ of habeas
corpus shall not be suspended.
Sec. 22. Property qualification. As political rights and privi-
leges are not dependent upon, or modified by, property, therefore
no property qualification ought to affect the right to vote or hold
office.
Sec. 23. Representation and taxation. 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 repre-
sentatives in General Assembly, freely given.
Sec. 24 Militia and the right to bear arms. 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 dangerous 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 enacting penal statutes
against said practice.
Sec. 25. Right of the people to assemble together. The people
have a right to assemble together to consult for their common
Constitution 53
good, to instruct their representatives, and to apply to the Legis-
lature for redress of grievances. But secret political societies are
dangerous to the liberties of a free people, and should not be
tolerated.
Sec. 26. Religious liberty. All persons have a natural and inalien-
able right to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of
their own consciences, and no human authority should, in any case
whatever, control or interfere with the rights of conscience.
Sec. 27. Education. The people have a right to the privilege of
education, and it is the duty of the State to guard and maintain
that right.
Sec. 28. Elections should be frequent. For redress of grievances,
and for amending and strengthening the laws, elections should be
often held.
Sec. 29. Recurrence to fundamental principles. A frequent re-
currence to fundamental principles is absolutely necessary to pre-
serve the blessings of liberty.
Sec. 30. Hereditary emoluments, etc. No hereditary emoluments,
privileges, or honors ought to be granted or conferred in this
State.
Sec. 31. Perpetuities, etc. Perpetuities and monopolies are con-
trary to the genius of a free State, and ought not to be allowed.
Sec. 32. Ex post facto laws. Retrospective laws, punishing acts
committed before the existence of such laws, and by them only
declared criminal, are oppressive, unjust and incompatible with
liberty; wherefore no ex post facto law ought to be made. No
law taxing retrospectively sales, purchases, or other acts previous-
ly done, ought to be passed.
Sec. 33. Slavery prohibited. Slavery and involuntary servitude,
otherwise than for crime, whereof the parties shall have been
duly convicted, shall be, and are hereby, forever prohibited within
the State.
Sec. 34. State boundaries. The limits and boundaries of the
State shall be and remain as they now are.
Sec. 35. Courts shall be open. All courts shall be open; and
every person for an injury done him in his lands, goods, person,
or reputation, shall have remedy by due course of law, and righl
and justice administered without sale, denial, or delay.
5 I NOR! 11 (' Mini I \ A MAN! M
Sec. 36. Soldiers in time o) peace. No soldier shall, in time of
peace, be quartered in any house without the consent of the owner;
nor in time o\' war but in a manner prescribed by law.
Sec. 37. Treason against the state. Treason against the State
sail consist only in levying war against it or adhering to its enemies,
giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of trea-
son unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act,
or on confession in open court. No conviction of treason or attainder
shall work corruption of blood or forfeiture.
Sec. 38. Other rights of the people. This enumeration of rights
shall not be construed to impair or deny others retained by the
people; and all powers not herein delegated remain with the
people.

This apportionment shall be made by the Speaker of the House of
Representatives at the first regular Session of the General Assembly
convening after the return of every enumeration by order of Con-

number of the population of the State, aliens and Indians not
taxed shall not be included. To each county containing the said
ratio and not twice the said ratio there shall be assigned one

THE AMERICAN'S CREED
I believe in the United States of America, as a government of
the people., by the people, for the people; whose just powers are
derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a re-
public; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect
union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of
freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American
patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it
is my duty to my country to love it, to support its constitution,
to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all
enemies,
(The American's Creed by William Tyler Page was adopted by
an act of Congress, April 6. 1918.)
THE AMERICAN FLAG, IT'S ORIGIN
In 1775, the Philadelphia Troop of Light Horse carried a stand-
ard with thirteen alternate blue and silver stripes in the upper
left-hand corner. At Cambridge on January 2, 1776, Washington
without authorization of the Continental Congress raised a flag
consisting of thirteen alternate white and red stripes with the
crosses of St. George and St. Andrew in a blue field in the upper
left-hand corner. It was called the "Union Flag," "Grand Union
Flag," and the "Continental Flag," and was employed until dis-
placed by the Stars and Stripes adopted by the Continental Con-
gress.
The beautiful tradition that Betsy Ross, as early as June 1776,
made a Stars and Stripes flag from a pencil sketch supplied by
Washington but changed the points of the stars from six to five,
has become a classic. Historians doubt its accuracy. Half a dozen
localities claim to have been the place where the Stars and Stripes
was first used. Within New York State such contention has been
for Fort Ann on July 8, Fort Stanwix on August 3, Bennington
on August 13, and Saratoga on September 19, 1777. The flag with
thirteen stripes and thirteen stars, authorized on June 14, 1777,
continued to be used as the national emblem until Congress passed
the following act, which President Washington signed:
"That from and after May 1, 1795, the flag of the United States
be fifteen stripes, alternate red and white; and that the union be
fifteen stars, white in a blue field."
91
92 North Carolina Manual
This action was necessitated by the admission of the States of
Vermont and Kentucky to the Union.
The flag of 1795 had the stars arranged in three rows of live
each instead of in a circle, and served for 2 3 years.
With the admission of more new states, however, it became
apparent that the 1795 Hag would have to be further modified;
hence in 1818 a law was passed by Congress providing:
•'That from and after the fourth day of July next, the Hag
of the United States be thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate red
and white; that the union have twenty stars, white in a blue field.
"That on the admission of every new state into the Union, one
star be added to the union of the Hag; and that such addition
shall take effect on the Fourth of July next succeeding such
admission."
Since 1818 additional stars have been added until today there
are 50 on the flag. No law has been passed to designate how the
stars shall be arranged. At one time they formed a design of a
larger star. Now they form five rows of six stars each and four
rows of five stars each.
Betsy Ross, it is now said, lived at 233 Arch Street, Philadel-
phia, and not at 239. She made flags, but says Theodore D. Gott-
lieb, she never made the first Stars and Stripes. He adds: "The
Department of State, the War and Navy departments, the Histori-
cal Sites Commission of Philadelphia and other official bodies
repudiate the legend. The book and pamphlet material available
is overwhelmingly against the legend.
"The story arose for the first time on March 14, 1870, when
William J. Canby read a paper before the Pennsylvania Historical
Society in which he states that in 183 6, when his grandmother,
Betsy Ross, was 8 4 years old and he was 11, she told him the
story. He apparently thought little of it because nothing was done
until 1857, when at the suggestion of his Aunt Clarissa, oldest
daughter of Betsy, he wrote out the notes as he remembered the
conversation.
"Nothing further was done until 1870 when he wrote his paper.
The Historical Society of Pennsylvania thought so little of the
paper it neither catalogued nor kept a copy of it. Even George
Canby, younger brother of William, disputed several points in the
paper.
The Am erica n Flag 93
"The legend grew to strength from 1888 to 1893 when pro-
motors secured an option on the so-called Flag House.
"Modern historical researchers are giving much thought to
Francis Hopkinson of New Jersey as the possible designer and
the Fillmore or Bennington flag as the first flag."
The Proper Display of the American Flag
(The United States Code, 1958)
(Chapter 10, Sections 171-172, 174-178)
Sec. 171. When the national anthem is played and the flag is
not displayed, all present should stand and face toward the music.
Those in uniform should salute at the first note of the anthem,
retaining this position until the last note. All others should stand
at attention, men removing the headdress. When the flag is dis-
played, all present should face the flag and salute.
Sec. 17 2. The following is designated as the pledge of allegiance
to the flag: "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States
of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation,
under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.*' Such
pledge should be rendered by standing wTith the right hand over
the heart. However, civilians will always show full respect to the
flag when the pledge is given by merely standing at attention,
men removing the headdress. Persons in uniform shall render
the military salute.
Sec. 174. (a) It is the universal custom to display the flag only
from sunrise to sunset on buildings and on stationary flagstaffs in
the open. However, the flag may be displayed at night upon
special occasions when it is desired to produce a patriotic effect.
(b) The flag should be hoisted briskly and lowered ceremon-
iously.
(c) The flag should not be displayed on days when the weather
is inclement.
(d) The flag should be displayed on all days when the
weather permits, especially on New Year's Day, January 1;
Inauguration Day, Jan. 20; Lincoln's Birthday, February 12;
Washington's Birthday, February 22; Army Day, April 6; Easter
Sunday (variable); Mother's Day, second Sunday in May; .Me-

Navy Day, October 27; Veteran's Day, November 11; Thanks
giving Day. fourth Thursday in November; Christmas Day, Decem-
ber 25; such other days as may be proclaimed by the President
of the United States; the birthdays of States (dates of admission) ;
and on State holidays.
(e) The flag should be displayed daily, weather permitting,
on or near the main administration building of every public in-
stitution,
(f) The flag should be displayed in or near every polling plac*
on election days.
(g) The flag should be displayed during school days in or
near every schoolhouse.
Sec. 17 5. The flag, when carried in a procession with another
flag or flags, should be either on the marching right; that is.
the flag's own right, or, if there is a line of other flags, in front
of the center of that line.
(a) The flag should not be displayed on a float in a parade
except from a staff, or as provided in subsection (i) of this
section.
(b) The flag should not be draped over the hood, top, sides.
or back of a vehicle or of a railroad train or a boat. When the
flag is displayed on a motorcar, the staff shall be fixed firmly to
the chassis or clamped to the radiator cap.
(c) No other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if
on the same level, to the right of the flag of the United States
of America, except during church services conducted by naval
chaplains at sea, when the church pennant may be flown above
the flag during the church services for the personnel of the Navy.
No person shall display the flag of the United Nations or any
other national or international flag equal, above or in a position
of superior prominence or honor to or in place of, the flag of the
United States at any place within the United States or any Terri-
tory or possession thereof: Provided. That nothing in this section
shall make unlawful the continuance of the practice heretofore
followed of displaying the flag of the United Nations in a posi-
The Americas Fia« 9;'.
Lion of superior prominence or honor, aiul other national Hag?
in positions of equal prominence or honor, with that of the flap
of the United States at the Headquarters of the United Nations.
(d I The flag of the United States of America, when it is dis
played with another flag against a wall from crossed staffs,
should be on the right, the flag's own right, and its staff should
be in front of the staff of the other flag.
(e) The flag of the United States of America should be at the
center and at the highest point of the group when a number of
flags of States or localities or pennants of societies are grouped
and displayed from staffs.
(f) When flags of States, cities, or localities, or pennants of
societies are found on the same halyard with the flag of the
United States, the latter should always be at the peak. When
the flags are flown from adjacent staffs, the flag of the United
States should be hoisted first and lowered last. No such flag
or pennant may be placed above the flag of the United States
or to the right of the flag of the United States.
(g) When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are
to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags
should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids
the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation
in time of peace.
(h) When the flag of the United States is displayed from a
staff projecting horizontally or at an angle from the window
sill, balcony, or front of a building, the union of the flag should
be placed at the peak of the staff unless the flag is at half staff.
When the flag is suspended over a sidewalk from a rope extending
from a house to a pole at the edge of the sidewalk, the flag should
be hoisted out, union first, from the building.
(i.i When the flag is displayed otherwise than by being flown
from a staff., it should be displayed flat, whether indoors or out.
or so suspended that its folds fall as free as though the flag were
staffed
(j) When the flag is displayed over the middle of the street,
it should be suspended vertically with the union to the north in
an east and west street or to the east in the north and south street.
!lfi N'llK III ( ' Mini I \ \ M S \ I M
(k) When used on a speaker's platform, the flag, if displayed
flat, should be displayed above and behind ihe speaker. When
displayed from a staff in a church or public auditorium, if it
is displayed in the chancel of a church, or on the speaker's plat-
form in a public auditorium, the flag should occupy the position
of honor and be placed at the clergyman's or speaker's right as
he faces the congregation or audience. Any other flag so displayed
in the chancel or on the platform should be placed at the clergy-
man's or speaker's left as he faces the congregation or audience.
But when the flag is displayed from a staff in a church or public
auditorium elsewhere than in the chancel or on the platform it
shall be placed in the position of honor at the right of the con-
gregation or audience as they face the chancel or platform. Any
other flag so displayed should be placed on the left of the con-
gregation or audience as they face the chancel or platform.
(1) The flag should form a distinctive feature of the cere-
mony of unveiling a statue or monument, but it should never
be used as the covering for the statue or monument.
(m) The flag, when flown at half-staff, should be first hoisted
to the peak for an instant and then lowered to the half-staff
position. The flag should be again raised to the peak before
it is lowered for the day. By "half-staff" is meant lowering the
flag to one-half the distance between the top and bottom of the
staff. Crepe streamers may be affixed to spear heads or flagstaffs
in a parade only by order of the President of the United States.
(n) When the flag is used to cover a casket, it should be so
placed that the union is at the head and over the left shoulder.
The flag should not be lowered into the grave nor allowed to
touch the ground.
Sec. 176. No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the
United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any per-
son or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization
or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.
(a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down
save as a signal of dire distress.
(b) The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as
the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.
The American Flag ;»;
(c) The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but
always aloft and free.
(d) The flag should never be used as drapery of any sort
whatsoever, never festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but
always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white and red, always
arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the
red below, should be used for covering a speaker's desk, draping
the front of a piatform, and for decoration in general.
(e) The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or
stored in such a manner as will permit it to be easily torn, soiled,
or damaged in any way.
(f ) The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling.
(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any
part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word,
figure, design, picture or drawing of any nature.
(h) The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving,
holding, carrying, or delivering anything.
(i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in
any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such
articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or
otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that
is designed for temporary use and discard; or used as any portion
of a costume or athletic uniform. Advertising signs should not
be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.
(j) The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer
a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified
way, preferably by burning.
Sec. 177. During the ceremony of hoisting or lowering the
flag or when the flag is passing in a parade or in a review, all
persons present should face the flag, stand at attention, and
salute. Those present in uniform should render the military
salute. When not in uniform, men should remove the headdress
with the right hand holding it at the left shoulder, the hand
being over the heart. Men without hats should salute in the same
manner. Aliens should stand at attention. Women should salute
by placing the right hand over the heart. The salute to the flag
in the moving column should be rendered at the moment the
flag passes.

The Pledge to the Flag
(.Taught in many of the schools and repeated by pupils daily)
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
And to the Republic for which it stands.
One Nation under God, indivisible.
With liberty and justice for all."
The Pledge to the Flag, according to a report of the Historical
Committee of the United States Flag Association (May 18, 1939).
was written by Francis Bellamy (August 1892), a member of the
editorial staff of The Youth's Companion, in Boston, Massachu-
setts. It was first repeated at the exercises in connection with
the celebration of Columbus Day (October 12, 1892, Old Style).
The idea of this national celebration on Columbus Day was largely
that of James B. Upham, one of the junior proprietors of The
Youth's Companion.
Francis Hopkinson, a signer of the Declaration of Independence,
was the designer of the Stars and Stripes — -not Betsy Ross of
Philadelphia, who made flags. He also designed the first Great
Seal of the United States, and a number of coins and several items
of paper currency in the early days of the Republic.
Hopkinson, born in Philadelphia (September 21, 1737), and a
graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, was the first native
American composer of a secular song, "My Days Have Been So
Wondrous Free." He was a lawyer and later a judge in New Jersey
and then in Pennsylvania. He died in Philadelphia (May 9, 17 91).
His portrait, painted by himself, hangs in the rooms of the Penn-
sylvania Historical Society, Philadelphia. He played the organ and
harpsichord.
THE CAPITOL AT WASHINGTON
The Capitol building in Washington, D. C.( is situated on i
plateau 88 feet above the level of the Potomac River and covers
an area of 153,112 square feet, or approximately three and one-
half acres. Its length, from north to south, is 7 51 feet, four inches;
its width, including approaches, is 350 feet; and its location is
described as being in latitude 38°53'20.4" N. and longitude
70e00'35.7" W. from Greenwich. Its height above the base line on
the east front to the top of the Statue of Freedom is 287 feet.
five and one-half inches. The dome is built of iron, and the aggre-
gate weight of material used in its construction is 8. 909. 20c
pounds.
The Statue of Freedom surmounting the dome is of bronze and
weighs 14,985 pounds. It was modeled by Thomas Crawford,
father of Francis Marion Crawford, the novelist, in Rome, and
the plaster model shipped to this country. It was cast in bronze
at the shops of Clark Mills, on the Bladensburg Road, near Wash-
ington. The cost of the casting and the expenses in connection
were $20,796.82, and the sculptor was paid $3,000 for the plaster
model. It was erected and placed in its present position Decembe.

The grounds have had an area of 58.8 acres, at one time a parr
of Cern Abby Manor, and at an early date were occupied by a
subtribe of the Algonquin Indians known as the Powhatans, whose
council house was then located at the foot of the hill. By sub-
sequent purchase of ground at the North of the Capitol and at
the west of the new House Office building the area of the grounds
lias been increased to 13 9 */£ acres.

as a law library.
The Capitol has a floor area of 14 acres, and 430 rooms are de-
moted to office, committee, and storage purposes. There are 14,518
square feet of skylights, 679 windows, and 550 doorways.
The dome receives light through 108 windows, and from the
architect's office to the dome there are 3 65 steps, one for each day
of the year.
The southeast cornerstone of the original building was laid Sep-
tember 18, 1793, by President Washington, with Masonic cere-
monies. It is constructed of sandstone from quarries on Aquia
Creek, Va. The original designs were prepared by Dr. William
Thornton, and the work was done under the direction of Stephen

The north wing was finished in 18 00 and the south wing in 1811.
A wooden passageway connected them. On August 24, 1814, the
interior of both wings was destroyed by fire, set by the British.
The damage to the building was immediately repaired.
In 1818 the central portion of the building was commenced
under the architectural superintendence of Charles Bullfinch. The
original building was finally completed in 18 27. Its cost, including
the grading of the grounds, alterations, and repairs, up to 1827.
was $2,433,844.13.
The cornerstone of the extensions was laid on the Fourth of
July, 1851, by President Fillmore, Daniel Webster officiating as
orator. This work was prosecuted under the architectual direc-
tion of Thomas U. Walter until 18 65, when he resigned, and it was
completed under the supervision of Edward Clark. The material
used in the walls is white marble from the quarries of Lee, Massa-
chusetts, and that in the columns from the quarries from Cockeys-
ville, Maryland. The House extension was first occupied for legis-
lative purposes December 16. 1857. and the Senate January 4.
1859.
The House office building was begun in 190 5 and occupied on
January 10, 1908; later a story on top was added. The Senate

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
(Unanimously Adopted in Congress, July 4, 1776, at Philadelphia)
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for
one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected
them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth,
the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and
of Nature's God ontitles them, a decent respect to the opinions of
mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel
them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are creat-
ed equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain in-
alienable Rights; that among these are Life, Liberty and the pur-
suit of Happiness. That, to secure these rights, Governments are
instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent
of the governed; That, whenever any Form of Government he-
roines destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to
alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its
foundations on such principles, and organizing its powers in such
forms, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and
Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long
established should not be changed for light and transient causes;
and, accordingly, all experience hath shewn, that mankind are
more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right
themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invari-
ably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under abso-
lute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such
Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies, and such
is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former
Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great
Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all hav-
ing in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over
these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid
world.
He has refused his assent to Laws, the most wholesome and
necessary for the public good.

Declaeation of I _\ dependence L03
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and
pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his
Assent should be obtained; and, when so suspended, he has utterly
neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of
large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the
right of Representation in the Legislature — a right inestimable to
them, and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, un-
comfortable and distant from the depository of their public Rec-
ords, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with
his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing
with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause
others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of
Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exer-
cise; the State remaining, in the meantime, exposed to all the
dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States for
that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreign-
ers; refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither,
and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing
his assent to laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure
of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither
.swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their sub-
stance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies
without the Consent of Our Legislature.
He has affected to render the Military independent of, and superior
to, the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction
foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws;
giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
in i North Carolina Manuai
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any
Murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these
States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by
jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas, to be tried for pretended offenses;
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbor-
ing Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and
enlarging its Boundaries, so as to render it at once an example
and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into
these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable
Lawrs, and altering fundamentally, the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves
invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his
Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns.
and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign mer-
cenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny,
already begun with circumstances of Cruelty and perfidy scarcely
paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the
Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow-Citizens, taken captive on the
high Seas, to bear Arms against their Country, to become the exe
cutioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by
their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has en-
deavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merci-
less Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undis-
tinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Re-
dress in the most humble terms; Our repeated Petitions have been
answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is
thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to
be the ruler of a free people.
Declaration of Independence 105
Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British brethren.
We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their
legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We
have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and
settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and
magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our com-
mon kindred to disavow these usurpations, which inevitably inter-
rupt our connections with correspondence. They, too, have been
deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. "We must, there-
fore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation,
and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind — Enemies in War,
in Peace Friends.
We, Therefore, the Representatives of the United States of
America, in General Congress Assembled; appealing to the Su-
preme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do,
in the Name and by authority of the good People of these Colonies,
solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and
of Right ought to be free and independent States; that they are
Absolved from All Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all
political connections between them and the State of Great Britain
is, and ought to be, totally dissolved; and that as Free and Inde-
pendent States, they have full power to levy War, conclude Peace,
contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts
and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for
the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the pro-
tection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other
our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

3. Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among
the several States which may be included within this Union, ac-
cording to their respective numbers, which shall be determined by

to service for a term of years and excluding Indians not taxed,
three-fifths of all other persons. The actual enumeration shall be
made within three years after the first meeting of the Congress
of the United States, and within every subsequent term of ten
years, in such manner as they shall by law direct. The number of

three classes. The seats of the Senators of the first class shall be
vacated at the expiration of the second year; of the second class
at the expiration of the fourth year; and of the third class at the
expiration of the sixth year, so that one-third may be chosen every
second year, and if vacancies happen by resignation, or otherwise,
during the recess of the Legislature of any State, the Executive
thereof may make temporary appointments until the next meeting
of the Legislature, which shall then fill such vacancies.!
3. No person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to

such meeting shall be on the first Monday in December, unless
they shall by law appoint a different day.
Sec. 5 — 1. Each House shall be the judge of the elections, re-
turns, and qualifications of its own members, and a majority of
each shall constitute a quorum to do business; but a smaller num-
ber may adjourn from day to day, and may be authorized to com-
pel the attendance of absent members, in such manner and under
such penalties as each House may provide.
2. Each House may determine the rules of its proceedings, pun-
ish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence

Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for
any speech or debate in either House they shall not be questioned
in any other place.
2. No Senator or Representative shall, during the time for which
he was elected, be appointed to any civil office under the
authority of the United States which shall have been created, or

it, but if not, he shall return it, with his objections, to that House
in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the objections
at large on their journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after
such reconsideration two-thirds of that House shall agree to pass
the bill, it shall be sent together with the objections, to the
other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if
approved by two-thirds of that House, it shall become a law. But
in all such cases the votes of both Houses shall be determined by
yeas and nays, and the names of the persons voting for and
against the bill shall be entered on the journal of each House re-
spectively. If any bill shall not be returned by the President within
ten days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented
to him, the same shall be a law, in like manner as if he had signed
it, unless the Congress by their adjournment prevent its return,
in which case it shall not be a law.
3. Every order, resolution, or vote to which the concurrence of
the Senate and House of Representatives may be necessary (ex-
cept on a question of adjournment) shall be presented to the Presi-
dent of the United States; and before the same shall take effect,

repassed by two-thirds of the Senate and House of Representa-
tives, according to the rules and limitations prescribed in the case

claratory and restrictive clauses should be added, and as extending
the ground of public confidence in the Government will best insure
the beneficent ends of its institution:

CENSUS
POPULATION OF THE STATE OF
NORTH CAROLINA
Eighteenth Census of the United States: 1960
The population of North Carolina's urban places continued to
grow faster than that of the rural areas between 1950 and 1960,
according to the eighteenth decennial census, issued by Robert W.
Burgess, Director of the Bureau of the Census, Department of
Commerce.
Final figures show that the urban population increased from
1,368,101 in 1950 to 1,801,921 in 1960, or 31.6 per cent, while the
rural population increased from 2,693,828 in 1950 to 2,754,234 in
1960 or an increase of only 2.2 per cent. The final count of the
Eighteenth Census for the State on April 1, 1960, was 4,556,155
compared to 4,061,929 in 1950, or an increase of 12.2 per cent.
Urban residents accounted for 39.5 per cent of the State's popula-
tion in 1960 as compared with 33.7 per cent in 1950. Rural areas
in 1960 accounted for 60.5 per cent of the total population. The
Census Bureau considers as urban areas the incorporated places of
2,500 or more, or unincorporated places of 2,500 or more located
outside urbanized areas. The remaining territory is classified as
rural.
There were 35 incorporated places of 10,000 or more in 1960.
Five of these (Chapel Hill, Jacksonville, Lenoir, Lumberton and
Roanoke Rapids) reached that size since 1950. Charlotte remains
the State's largest city with a population of 201,564, followed in
order by Greensboro with 119,574 and Winston-Salem with 111,135.
According to final figures of the 1960 census 63 of the counties
gained in population. Onslow County showed the greatest gain
with an increase of 96.7 per cent. Cumberland County placed
second with an increase of 54.6 per cent, while Mecklenburg was
third with a 3 8.1 per cent gain.
The first census of North Carolina was taken in 1790, returning
a population of 393,751. The population has shown an increase
at every census since that time. The population passed 1,000,000
between 1860 and 1870, 2,000,000 between 1900 and 1910, 3,000,-
000 between 1920 and 1930, 4,000,000 between 1940 and 1950,
and 4,500,000 between 1950 and 1960. The present population
represents a density of 8 6.4 inhabitants per square mile. North
Carolina's total area in square miles is 52,712. Land area is
49,142 square miles; water area is 3.57(1 square miles.
Table 1 presents the figures for counties and for incorporated
places of 10,000 or more, and Table 2 for incorporated places of

NORTH CAROLINA DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
FOR 1966
The Democrats of North Carolina, in convention assembled,
respectfully submit the following Platform of the Democratic
Party of North Carolina for 1966-67.
INTRODUCTION
The 1966 Platform Committee, operating under the guidance
and direction of the State Democratic Executive Committee, offers
this document for consideration as a sincere and concise state-
ment of policies and goals established by the Democratic Party
to serve the best interest of all North Carolinians.
The philosophy expressed here is partisan only in the sense
that it represents dedication to and faith in the kind of govern-
ment that is responsive to the will of the people, that traditionally
looks to the future, unhesitatingly aligns itself with progress
and, without compromise, seeks to enhance the well-being and
preserve the dignity of the individual.
Each statement in this Platform is the result of much study
and deliberation. It is a Platform that represents, not the views
of the few individuals charged with the responsibility of its
preparation, but the views of countless North Carolinians who
subscribe to the belief that the opportunity to earn a productive
and prosperous life is the birthright of every citizen of this state.
The accomplishments listed here should be a source of pride
for every North Carolinian. The goals listed here must be a
challenge for every Democrat. Good government — the kind of
government that has become traditional in our state in this cen-
tury— is not the product of chance. It is the product of determi-
nation and sacrifice— the product of vision — the product of people
dedicated to the principles of the Democratic Party.
With full awareness of our responsibility — a responsibility en-
trusted to us by the people of North Carolina — this platform for
progress has been developed. With pride in the past, confidence
in the present and enthusiasm for the future, this platform can
be submitted to the people for endorsement.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY AFFAIRS:
The strength of the Democratic Party in North Carolina has
long been a deep awareness on the part of the people that ours
is the party of the people, the party of faith and not fear, the party
of progress.
North Carolina Democrats have demonstrated a capacity for
meeting challenges since the beginning of this century — resulting
in progress in all areas affecting the well-being of our people.
Most importantly, it has given this state a reservoir of experi-
enced, dedicated leadership at all levels of government.
Today, as we face the great problems and the great opportuni-
ties of the most exciting and complex age in the history of man,
the responsibilities that rest with this leadership is overwhelming.
It is the responsibility that can and will be met by the Demo-
cratic Party. It will be met because the Party is strong, because
the Party is dedicated, and because its members are united in
their determination to continue building a more abundant life
for all North Carolinians.
The youthful faction of the Party — the Teen-Dem Clubs and
the Young Democratic Clubs, both individual units and members
of the Confederation — continues to expand in size and influence.
The contribution of these young North Carolinians to their state
and their Party grows daily, and their vigorous alignment with
Democratic ideals is not only inspirational, but insures the vitality
of the Party in the years ahead.
Democratic Platform 155
The women of the Party, and especially those members of our
Democratic Women's Clubs, have assumed additional responsi-
bility in recent years and merit a special commendation for the
service they have rendered the cause of good government in North
Carolina.
We pledge our continued support for these vital branches of
the Party and charge the State Democratic Executive Committee
with the responsibility for actively encouraging and assisting
their efforts to insure good government in North Carolina.
STATE GOVERNMENT
No state in the nation receives more competent and loyal service
from its public officials and employees than North Carolina. These
individuals have contributed immeasurably to our state's repu-
tation for good government. The Democratic Party is fully
aware of this fact and has sought, through the years, to insure
the maintenance of these high standards by fair treatment and
compensation for service rendered. We pledge a continuation of
this respectful relationship which benefits every citizen of North
Carolina.
No less essential to the cause of good government are the pri-
vate citizens of the state who give their time and talent to service
on governing and advisory bodies of state agencies, institutions
and councils. Their contribution to the well-being of our state
and its people cannot be expressed, but the stability and enlight-
ened direction of governmental affairs is eloquent testimonial to
the quality of their service.
Legislative: The North Carolina General Assembly, chosen by
the people to insure their progress, has, for more than six decades
of Democratic leadership, met the responsibility entrusted to it.
It has proven faithful to the knowledge that ours is a great state
with great potential. It has proven faithful to the concept that
ours must remain a state and nation governed by law and not by
men. It has labored long and effectively to develop that poten-
tial and protect that concept. We ask that the General Assembly
continue this dedication. To that end we unhesitatingly pledge
the support of the Democratic Party.
L56 North Carolina Manual
The Judiciary: Improvement in the administration of justice
is the constant aim of the judiciary in North Carolina. That effort,
supported by the Democratic Party, resulted in the enactment of
The Judicial Department Act by the 1965 General Assembly.
Implementation of this Act will greatly improve the court system
of the state.
The North Carolina Courts Commission, an arm of the General
Assembly, continues to work on legislation for enactment in 1967
that will further modernize the court system of North Carolina
to insure equal justice under the law for all men.
In the firm belief that impartial justice is a cornerstone of
democracy, the Democratic Party will continue to encourage and
support all reasonable efforts in the area of judicial reform.
AGRICULTURE:
The Democratic Party has traditionally led and, in large
measure, been responsible for action resulting in the greatest
farming productivity in the history of mankind. In spite of this,
technical advances and products of research have forced increas-
ing numbers of families to leave the farm. Obviously, to strive
for a better balanced economy while maintaining pace with the
requirements of a growing population, it will be necessary to
develop new and better methods of stabilizing our rural popula-
tion while increasing the income of our farm families.
The Democratic Party pledges its firm support to all govern-
mental agencies with responsibilities that relate to these goals.
North Carolina farm products must be processed and distributed
so that the farmers of this state receive a fair share of agricultural
income. Marketing service programs that are directed toward
assisting farmers and trades people with specific problems should
be expanded. Research and consumer protection programs should
be expanded to insure renewed confidence on the part of the
public in the farm products we produce. Extension programs
and agency projects designed to improve farm income and all
facets of rural life should be continued.
Democratic Platform 157
CORRECTIONAL. PROGRAMS:
Democratic leadership has given North Carolina a prison and
correctional system that is generally recognized as one of the best
in the nation. Emphasis within the prison system is placed on
productive work, with increasing attention given to programs of
education, vocational training and counseling designed to return
prison inmates to society as responsible, contributing citizens.
This enlightened approach is equally evident in our juvenile
correction programs and in the Probation Commission and Board
of Paroles. We support the continuation of these policies.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
The theme of "total development" as envisioned and promoted
by Governor Dan Moore is moving North Carolina in the direction
of the most beneficial use of all the State's resources to insure
economic progress. The goal of making every citizen productive
and providing every citizen with an opportunity to benefit fully
from his productivity must be maintained. The past year saw
all-time records set in capital investments in new and expanded
industry. More than 37,000 new jobs were created and payrolls
increased by $137 million. There is every indication that 1966
will set new records.
More than 3,300 new business corporations were chartered in
North Carolina during the past year and more than 400 foreign
corporations were added to the list authorized to do business in
our state. Total resources in State-chartered banks rose above
$3 billion. Greater harmony has been established in the area of
public and private utilities than has been known in recent
decades.
All of these indications of sound progress should be sources
of pride for the political party that provided the leadership and
vision which made them possible. But pride in past achievements,
at this critical time in our history, must serve to instill, not com-
placency, but a constantly new and vibrant awareness of the
responsibility we have for the future. There is much that re-
mains to be done. There are new challenges daily in every eco-
nomic sphere. And each challenge is an opportunity for economic
progress — for a better way of life for the people of North Caro-
lina. The great wealth of our state — its people and its natural
State Senal
158
)istricts-1966
159
160 North Carolina Manual
resources- represents a potential that has only begun to develop.
The Democratic Party recognizes this potential and eagerly ac-
cepts the responsibility that it imposes.
EDUCATION:
The totai economic and cultural development of North Caro-
lina requires the full educational development of every citizen.
The Democratic Party, because it is the party of the people and
not the party of special privilege, has traditionally given strong
support to the maximum extension of universal educational op-
portunity. Under Democratic leadership since the beginning of
this century, the cause of education has flourished. The dream
of Charles B. Aycock has become reality. Clearly, the Demo-
cratic Party is the "Education Party" in North Carolina.
The public schools come first. Here the foundation for all
progress is laid. Strong support for public schools is essential.
It will be continued and strengthened.
The requirements of the age in which we live demand that we
place no limit on educational opportunity. Toward this end, we
have established a system of community colleges, technical insti-
tutes and industrial education centers to insure the availability
of facilities offering opportunities for maximum development of
individual skills. We must expand these facilities and increase
our efforts to encourage our people to take advantage of them.
Higher education completes the system of educational oppor-
tunity required for total development of our human and natural
resources. Strong support will continue to be given to university
and four-year college education.
K ! ACTION LAWS:
The State Board of Elections and those dedicated men and
women in every county of North Carolina who continue to admin-
ister fair, honest, and impartial elections throughout the broad
election complex of over 2,100 precincts are, in fact, our greatest
fundamental democratic freedom — the right to vote.
As Democrats, pledged by tradition to this basic freedom, we
pledge to continue providing an enviable election process in this
state. We support the State and County Boards of Elections in
their continuing work to preserve our free election process for
present and future generations of North Carolinians.
Democratic Platform 161
We further commend the action of the Democrats in the 1965
General Assembly who provided the leadership for the establish-
ment of an election law study commission charged with the re-
sponsibility of recommending any alterations in existing laws
deemed necessary to insure the voting rights of all our people.
FISCAL AFFAIRS:
North Carolina is in excellent financial condition. The bonds
of the state are rated AAA — the highest rate available to state
bonds. North Carolina's high and enviable reputation in fiscal
affairs is due to the fact that sound business principles and fiscal
integrity have been the basis of the state's policy for over 60
years. The prudent and sound management of this most basic
of all governmental functions reflects credit on North Carolina
Democrats of the past and present and represents a sacred trust
to be passed on to future Democrats.
HERITAGE AND CULTURE:
The Democratic Party has traditionally supported the position
that an understanding and appreciation of an individual's heritage
is vitally important to that individual's capacity for appraising
the present and contributing to the future.
North Carolina has a great heritage. It should be preserved.
North Carolina has a great capacity for cultural development.
It should be pursued vigorously.
The esthetic reasons for steadily increasing attention to our
heritage and our cultural development are sufficient unto them-
selves. But we live in a practical society and in this society
there is a very definite application of practicality to the develop-
ment of our heritage and culture. Tourism is our third most
productive industry. Increasing leisure time will bring larger
number of visitors to our state and will enable more of our own
people to seek pleasure and inspiration in North Carolina's his-
torical sites and cultural developments.
The Democratic Party pledges increasing attention to activities
in these areas.
HIGHWAYS:
Democratic Administrations in North Carolina have worked
diligently down through the years to develop a highway system
162 North Carolina Manual
which will meet the needs of the people by encouraging the ex-
pansion of commerce and industry and making travel as safe and
convenient as possible for our own citizens and the increasing
number of visitors who contribute substantially to the economy.
Today, with funds from the $300 million road bond issue, the
Appalachia Program and other State and Federal sources, high-
ways are being constructed at an unprecedented rate.
The Democratic Party pledges its continued support to all
efforts to expand and improve our existing highway system
through the fair and equitable distribution and application of
available funds.
HUMAN RELATIONS:
Traditionally, the Democratic Party supports the premise that
society owes to every citizen the opportunity to progress to the
limit of his individual interests and talents. We subscribe fur-
th< r to the premise that this opportunity carries with it commen-
surate obligations and responsibilities.
The proud progress registered in North Carolina in recent years
in human relations reflects credit on all North Carolinians. That
progress must continue. Toward that end we commend the pro-
gram of the North Carolina Good Neighbor Council and urge
continued support for that program.
We call upon all County Boards of Commissioners and munici-
pal councils and boards to establish local Good Neighbor or
Human Relations Councils to supplement the work of the State
Council.
LABOR :
We pledge our continued support for humane labor laws, safe
and healthful working conditions, just Workmen's Compensation
and an Unemployment Insurance Program that is fair and equit-
able to all concerned.
We support laws guaranteeing employees the right-to-work
and employers the right to conduct their businesses under the
laws. In order to assure increased employment, industrial
schools and proper training for skilled labor will create better
jobs resulting in a broadened and higher standard of living.
We subscribe to the premise that "a laborer is worthy of his
hire" and commend the Democratic General Assembly for having
Democratic Platform 163
made North Carolina the only state in the Southeast to enact a
State Minimum Wage Law for the protection of employees.
We recommend that North Carolina's women be given equal
compensation for equal work, equal promotion for equal prepara-
tion, and we endorse the principle of equal responsibility for all
employees performing work of comparable responsibility.
NATURAL. RESOURCES:
The Democratic Party of North Carolina has traditionally sup-
ported the premise that, second only to its people, its natural
resources are its greatest asset. These God-given resources,
with which North Carolina is more than abundantly endowed,
exist to benefit man. They are a sacred trust to be used profit-
ably and equitably by each generation to the extent that the next
generation is not denied the same benefits.
With the steady increase in leisure time available to the average
citizen, we must provide more opportunities for healthful outdoor
recreation. The preservation of our wildlife resources is essential
to this effort.
In view of the fact that water is the best basic of all these
natural resources, we propose that special attention be given
at this time to methods of insuring the conservation and wise
use of the state's water resources.
PUBLIC HEALTH:
As a state that has pioneered in the public health field, we
advocate continued improvement of public health services through
close cooperation of local, state and federal agencies to insure
adequate protection for all North Carolinians.
Recognizing the growth of our population, the outstanding
public health program now established in North Carolina must
be carried forward to decrease the infant mortality rate and
reduce maternal deaths. We must deal effectively with chronic
disease and environmental health factors. We must continue
educational activities in all areas where such activities have
proven to be effective health measures.
The 1965 Democratic General Assembly is to be commended
on its positive efforts to confront the tragic disease of alcoholism.
We urge continued attention to this problem and pledge the
support of the Democratic Party in those efforts.
164 North Carolina Manual
North Carolina has pioneered! in the development and main-
tenance of an effective mental health program. The Democratic
Party, with pride in its past contributions in this field, offers its
pledge of continuing support.
SENIOR CITIZENS:
The record of the Democratic Party speaks eloquently for its
firm belief that the senior citizen occupies a vital position in the
economic, social and cultural development of the state. We feel
strongly that the knowledge, experience and talents of these
individuals must be exploited fully, and we urge that the 1967
General Assembly give particular attention to the most beneficial
use of this great asset. We further pledge continuing support
for the various agencies with responsibilities in areas affecting,
directly or indirectly, the senior citizen.
TRAFFIC SAFETY:
The tragic loss of life due to accidents on our streets and high-
ways is a challenge to every North Carolinian. It is a particular
challenge ro the Democratic Party and tne leadership it has pro-
vided our state. Under the courageous insistence of Governor
Moore, the challenge is being met.
The 1965 General Assembly moved positively in the direction
needed to combat this tragic situation. Its action in establishing
new laws, programs and agencies to promote traffic safety re-
flected credit on every member of the Legislature and every
citizen who supported those actions.
The Democratic Party feels strongly that this is a problem
which transcends all political considerations and is deserving of
the full support of all North Carolinians. We believe the key
to traffic safety is sound, balanced, imaginative, cooperative
action by public officials with the courage to lead. We pledge
our support to that leadership.
VETERANS:
With increasing number of North Carolinians acquiring the
status of veteran through courageous service of Viet Nam, it is
particularly important that continuing support be given to those
agencies whose responsibilities relate to veterans and the widows
and orphans of veterans.
Democratic Platfokm 165
TAXATION:
North Carolina remains at one of the nation's lowest levels
of combined state and local taxation per capita and at the same
time offers public service programs which continually rate na-
tional attention. We advocate continued emphasis on the busi-
nesslike, economical administration of government; a tax struc-
ture that equitably distributes the cost of services required from
government; increased personal exemptions, if economic condi-
tions warrant, to correspond with federal income tax exemptions,
and just and firm administration of the tax laws of the state.
The Democratic Party opposes and will work diligently to pre-
vent an increase in state taxes.
WELFARE:
The Democratic Party recognizes that the prevention and alle-
viation of poverty are legitimate concerns of government, and as
such merit action, not by public welfare alone, but by the entire
community. The effectiveness of this effort at both the com-
munity and state level, and the extent to which this concern is
translated into reality, have marked bearing on the total devel-
opment of the state. In acknowledgement of this fact, the Demo-
cratic Party pledges continuing interest in and support for wel-
fare programs with special attention given those programs de-
signed to help people help themselves.
NATIONAL AFFAIRS:
Democratic administrations have benefitted the people of North
Carolina with able, dedicated leadership. A close working rela-
tionship between administrations at the state and national levels
is essential to the continuation of these benefits. Toward this
end, we encourage continued cooperation with the Democratic
National Committee and support for the National Administration.
At this time of crises, when freedom is threatened on many
fronts throughout the world, we particularly commend the Presi-
dent for his courage in maintaining this nation's commitment in
Viet Nam.
Remembering the confusion, indifference, uncertainty and lack
of national purpose that characterized Republican administrations
of the past, we unhesitatingly pledge our support for all nominees
of the Democratic Partv.

NORTH CAROLINA REPUBLICAN STATE
PLATFORM 1966
NATIONAL AFFAIRS
The present national Administration, and indeed the Demo-
cratic Party itself, is marked, among other things, hy two ex-
tremely dangerous trends: One, an ever-increasing unwarranted
centralization of power in the Federal Government; and two, an
utter disregard for financial responsibility in our national fiscal
affairs.
We ask only for the free opportunity to do things for ourselves
and our country. This is a nation which has prospered in a
climate of freedom which has permitted each individual to devel-
op his maximum potential. We must move away from the dead-
ening influence of paternalism and return to policies which stim-
ulate and encourage individual incentive. Then, and only then,
can our nation march forward to its greater destiny — strong
enough to discourage outside influences and sensitive to the wel-
fare of all its citizens at home.
FISCAL INTEGRITY:
The national spiraling inflation created by the administration's
domestic and international give-away program must be curbed
by more responsible Republican leadership. The record of the
present administration shows a continuing disregard for the
importance of fiscal integrity in national affairs. We commend
the efforts of Congressmen Charles R. Jonas and James T. Broy-
hill to stem the tide of irresponasible governmental spending, and
we pledge our best to return them to Congress with others of
like mind. This state needs more Republican Congressmen to
help organize the Congress and direct its policies into channels
more in line with the thinking of the people of North Carolina.
211
212 Nouth Carolina Manual
SECTION 14-B:
We commend the successful efforts made by the Congressional
Republican leadership to prevent the repeal by the persent admin-
istration of Section 14-15 of the Taft-Hartley Act. Although sup-
porting responsible unionism, we do not feel that compulsory
unionism is in the best interest of the individual American laborer,
the American labor movement, nor in the best interest.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS:
We regret the irresolution and lack of leadership displayed by
the current administration in stemming Communist imperialism
throughout the world, and in particular in Southeast Asia. Be-
cause of the indecisiveness of the present administration our
international prestige is at its lowest ebb. and Communist aggres-
sion moves forward. We call upon our national leadership to
let the interest and national safety of this country and the West
be the polar star for the guidance of our foreign policy — and
pursue that policy with firmness and with strength.
STATE AFFAIRS
North Carolina possesses potential unexcelled by any of the
other 49 states. That potential is the ability of our citizens. This
state has been unable to utilize its potential because of the one-
party system of government exhibited by the Democratic Party
in the last 65 years. When any political party is too long in power,
it becomes primarily interested in its own perpetuation without
primary regard to the best interest of the people. Our present
low position among the states in education, health, welfare, in-
come, etc. is proof of the results of the one-party system.
PUBLIC EDUCATION
With a firm conviction that an excellent educational system is
the first prerequisite for representative government, and with
the belief that only educated citizens can preserve the liberties
Republican Platform 213
won for them at great cost by their forefathers, the Republican
Party in North Carolina dedicates itself to the position that
education is the most important function of State and Local
Government in a free society.
We praise the dedication our teachers have shown under ad-
verse circumstances. North Carolina education programs rank
near the bottom in the nation in all categories. In spite of low
ratings in education, the records tend to show that we rank near
the top in per capita expenditures for education. It seems evident
that we are paying for more education than our schools are
providing.
A comparison of the educational history of Republican States
with that of Democrat States during the last 65 years points to
the undeniable fact that Republican States lead the nation in the
field of education, while Democrat States rank near the bottom
in every evaluation of school standards. We pledge ourselves to
the task of elevating North Carolina from the low educational
position she has occupied during 65 years of Democrat rule.
The Republican Party favors a program of incentives and
teacher selection to attract and hold superior teachers. Instruct-
ors should be highly trained for the areas in which they teach.
Teachers must be given time to teach and pupils time in which
to learn. We support special programs for the exceptionally
talented and for the handicapped. We favor more emphasis on
physical fitness in athletic programs, and less attention to spec-
tator sports.
We propose to strengthen job security for those who teach our
children by enacting teacher tenure legislation. We feel that
this would remove political pressures from the classroom.
We believe that students must attend classes regularly. Be-
cause the Democrat Party has been unwilling to accept the
responsibility for adequate truancy laws, there are approximately
70,000 boys and girls absent from the classrooms each day our
public schools are open.
Our Republican congressional candidates if elected would work
for legislation allowing a certain percentage of the Federal In-
come Tax paid by the residents of North Carolina to be returned
directly to the states to be used by the states for education
without anv federal control.
214 Nokth Carolina Manual
North Carolina Republicans, realizing the urgent need for
more and better public school buildings and plants, propose that
the State return to the counties 15% of sales and use tax collec-
tions to be used for this purpose. This program would eliminate
expensive interest payments on bonds and would return some 20
million annually to the counties. Within 10 years North Caro-
lina would have one of the finest if not the finest school plant
systems in the nation.
The Republican Party is committeed to the principle that each
generation should furnish adequate support for the training of its
youth. It is opposed to programs of deficit finance, which bind
future generations to relieve the present of its responsibilities.
We pledge ourselves to efficient administration, maximum use of
school facilities, and elimination of frills or waste in our educa-
tional system. We promise constant scrutiny of the entire
educational system to the end that essentials be held in focus and
the goal of an educated citizenry be realized.
HIGHER EDUCATION
The Republican Party favors continued expansion of our system
of higher education in keeping with the steady increase of popu-
lation and growing complexity of modern society. We favor
careful screening of applicants and high standards of perform-
ance by those enrolled at such schools.
We favor an expansion of the regional Industrial Training
Center Program.
Believing the Community College is a sound solution for those
who want such an education as it affords, but are financially
unable to bear the high cost in colleges and universities, we favor
the careful location of Community Colleges so that all sections
of the state will be provided with this facility. We favor better
financial assistance from the State in capital outlay, especially in
those sections where the indebtedness and tax rate will prohibit
the establishment of a community college without greater state
support.
We advocate allowing state supported colleges in diverse sec-
tions of the state to offer masters degrees and doctorates in
Republican Platform 215
education in order that teachers may continue their work to-
wards these degrees while they teach.
We feel that, in any expansion of our system of higher educa-
tion, the interests of the State's excellent private colleges should
be given consideration.
The Republican Party feels that justice demands that the
governing boards of all institutions of higher education be select-
ed on a non-partisan basis.
LOCAL. CONTROL. OF EDUCATION
Republican members of the 19 67 General Assembly will work
for legislation returning to the counties and cities control over
Boards of Education either by direct vote of the people in non-
partisan elections or by appointment of the board by duly elected
county officials.
ELECTION LAWS
If the people of our State are to have improvements in their
election laws, it will be a result of the Republican Party and
the Republican Party alone. After 65 years of Democrat rule
the State's election laws are still the delight of the unscrupulous
politician, being filled with unjust provisions and handy loop-
holes.
As each session of the Democratically controlled legislature
passes with only minimal changes in the election laws, it becomes
more and more apparent to the people of the State that the hope
for free and more honest elections lies with the Republican
Party alone.
The Republican Party reproves the party in power for its bien-
nial failure to correct the many faults of its elections laws. It
refuses to require periodic reregistration. It circumvents any
actions to prevent ballot box abuses. It steadfastly upholds its
complete domination of the election boards at every level. In
some counties it refuses to allow the minority party to name its
own judges. And in every respect it shows a continual lack of
concern for truly representative government,
216 Norte Carolina Manual
The Republican Party continues t<> advocate:
1. The transfer of the control of elections from the Democratic
Party to a system of non-partisan boards of exercising a generally
judicial function. The election officials should, therefore, be
appointed with the understanding that they represent the State
of North Carolina and not any political party.
2. A statewide periodic reregistration. There is no better
way of purging the registration books. A substantial number of
the counties in North Carolina have not had a new registration in
the last 12 years. The Republican Party advocates a complete
reregistration every 8 years.
3. A modern loose-leaf system of registration requiring each
registrant to sign his name when registering to vote.
4. The repeal of the civilian absentee ballot law. The altera-
tions in the absentee ballot laws grudgingly adopted by the
Democratic legislature have done little to dispell the abuses of
these provisions. The only means for completely eliminating
the flagrant abuses of this law is to completely repeal the entire
section.
5. The removal of the so-called markers at each polling place.
These markers no longer serve the function of assisting the voter
in marking his ballot but instead help the unscrupulous politician
to control the ballot.
6. The more widespread use of voting machines with the
State sharing the cost. Voting machines would obviously result
in more honest elections, eliminating the stuffed ballot boxes,
false bottomed ballot boxes, marked ballots and similar frauds.
7. Requiring the voter to sign a poll book before voting.
Such action would deter many from voting illegally.
8. That Federal employees be prohibited from serving as elec-
tion officials.
We think it reprehensible that the citizens of this State were
required to resort to the courts for the elimination of the loyalty
oath because the Democratic controlled legislature continually
Republican Platform 217
defeated Republican attempts to repeal this oath in the legis-
lature.
The Republican Party endorses these and any improvement to
the election laws which would provide more honest and free
elections. All just and truly representative governments are
based on honest and free elections. It is upon these foundations
that the Republican Party bases its goals.
REALIGNMENT OF SENATORIAL DISTRICTS
Since the present rule is that State legislative apportionment
must be based on the one-man one-vote theory, the Republican
Party believes that the only way to completely comply with the
rules is to have the only one-member Senate districts and one-
member House districts. To accomplish full-compliance into
single-member districts, and realignment after the next census
should be by one-member districts.
CONGRESSIONAL REDISTRICTING
It will be the purpose of Republican representatives and sena-
tors to redistrict the Congressional districts of North Carolina
on the basis of making the districts geographically compact as
far as it is possible without splitting counties.

GOVERNMENT TAXES AM) SPENDING
Wherever the citizen of North Carolina turns, he finds himself
faced with yet another tax. North Carolina is in the minority of
states thai levy both general sales and personal income taxes.
Our sales tax rate is exceeded only by nine states. Our personal
income tax rate is exceeded by only six states. The rate at which
we tax corporate income is exceeded in only two states. And
our motor fuel tax ranks number one with the exception of
Hawaii and Alaska. Per capita tax collections in North Carolina
have increased from $54.39 in 1950 to $130.32 in 1964 — more
than doubling over the fifteen year period. The average tax-
payer of North Carolina is clearly assuming an ever growing
burden. To be sure, some of this burden has been used to the
benefit of the taxpayers. But the Republican Party of North
Carolina maintains that the taxpayer is not receiving the maxi-
mum benefit from his taxes. The Republican Party believes that
the taxpayers not only have a right to know how their hard
earned tax dollars are being spent, but also to receive maximum
benefit from these tax dollars. We maintain that the tax burden
on the average taxpayer can actually be decreased while the
benefits to him are increased. To these ends, the Republican
Party makes the following proposals:
A. Tax Revision
1. Replace food tax with a normal tax on alcohol and to-
bacco.
2. Replace 15% of the sales tax collected, back to the
counties, giving the counties $20,000,000 per year for
school building purposes.
B. Pax Reform
1. An Educational Trust Fund will be established within
the office of the State Treasurer. All revenue from the
general sales tax shall be placed in this trust fund and
shall be used for education only. The treasurer will be
authorized to invest this money in short-term U. S. Gov-
ernment securities or to deposit the money in financial
institutions within North Carolina which are insured by
an agency of the U. S. Government. The treasurer will
Republican Platform 219
be required to give a short statement monthly and a full
report biannually to each legislator on the condition of
the Trust Fund. These statements and reports will in-
clude such items as income expenditures, location of in-
vestments, and interest received on the Fund.
The enactment of this proposal would bring about an
increase in the benefits to the people of North Carolina
without an increase in taxes. Although the general sales
tax was enacted for the purpose of providing funds for
education, a comparison of tax receipts and education
expenditures indicates that about twenty per cent of sales
tax revenue is going for non-educational purposes. The
Educational Trust Fund would recover most or all of
this twenty percent for the education of our children.
2. Full-time students in an accredited college, university
or vocational school shall be exempt from the state in-
come tax while they are full time students. Part time
students in accredited institutions who are taking courses
which improve their skills may deduct the expenses of
such part time education from their taxable incomes
when computing their state income tax.
C. Expenditure Reforms
1. To provide a check on the majority party, the member-
ship of the Advisory Budget Committee shall include a I
least two members of the minority party.
2. Members of the press and public shall be allowed to be
present at all meetings of the Joint Appropriations Sub-
Committee.
3. At the end of each session, the Legislature shall appoint
a Comptroller General who shall have access to all in-
formation on present and proposed State finances, and
who shall report periodically to the Legislature on the
status of State Finances and on the formulation of the
State budget.
These three proposals would make a reality of the right
of the taxpayers to know how their tax money is being
spent. At the very least it would give the representa-
tives of the people full access to this information.
220 North Carolina Manual
4. Any surplus in State funds existing at the end of any-
fiscal year shall he used to retire a portion of the out-
standing debt of the State. The only exception shall be
funds in the Educational Trust fund.
5. A commission shall be established to make a study of the
entire State tax structure and make suggestions for re-
vamping the tax structure to provide a greater equity in
the tax system and the maximum benefit to the taxpayer.
The North Carolina tax system, like those of all other
states, has been constructed bit by bit. Now is the time
to take the lead among the states and study our entire
tax structure as a unit and to make reforms which will
give business, labor, and the consumer the maximum
benefit from their tax dollars so they will have to bear
only a minimum tax burden.
CIVIL RIGHTS
We are committed to the protection of rights and equal oppor-
tunities for all American citizens. Particularly, we object to the
current practice of the present administration of paying only
lip-service to equal job opportunities and non-discriminatory hir-
ing. However, we deplore the arbitrary and capricious methods
by which the present national administration has withheld or
threatened to withhold federal funds in order to achieve forced
racial balance in various programs receiving federal assistance.
To ignore the free choices of all citizens and to insist upon forced
racial balance is insulting to members of all races.
EFFICIENCY I\ STATE ADMINISTRATION
In order to bring about better state government we advocate
the following:
1. The governor should have the power of veto as do all other
state governors and as does the president.
2. State employees should be protected by civil service in order
to attract and hold capable persons.
o. A comptroller general should be appointed by the legisla-
ture to oversee the budget and be responsible only to the
legislature
Republican Platform 221
4. The legislature should delegate authority to the counties
and municipalities of this state in matters which are purely
of local concern, freeing the legislature to concern itself
with pressing state matters.
5. A study commission should be set up similar to the "Hoover
Commission" to study each individual agency of the state
with the prime purpose to see if by combining or abolishing
agencies, a more effective use could be made of personnel
and money while better serving our citizens.
STATE EMPLOYEES
The Republican Party commends the excellent service of State
Employees who have done their jobs despite the undue burden
of political pressure exerted by the Democrat Party. It has been
and is the desire of the Republican Party to enhance the position
and security of State Employees. Republicans in 1961, 1963, and
1965 sessions of the General Assembly sponsored and supported
legislation. A politically free Civil Service System would elimi-
nate political servitude as it now exists and would allow State
Employees to concentrate upon the productive work of their
office.
GRAFT AND CORRUPTION
After 6 5 years of control by the Democrat Party, and the record
of corruption associated with it, it is time for an intensive investi-
gation of State practices and policies.
SECRECY IN GOVERNMENT
We believe that if North Carolinians are to remain free, the
elected and appointed representatives of the people of North Caro-
lina must be the major champions of the citizens rights.
It is reasonable to assume that as North Carolina grows in
population, State government enlarges in corresponding size,
scope, and power.
Government, while seeking just and honorable goals, has be-
come guilty of abuse of its powers. This has come about largely
due to untended and unwatched affairs through secrecy in gov-
ernment.
State Represei

Districts -1966
■ ■ ;
224 Xokmi Carolina Manual
The Republican Party takes the position that no person, or
group of persons, has the right to deny people the access to
meetings and deliberations of any branch of their government.
We further believe that the citizens of this state have the abso-
lute and unqualified right to know all the facts concerning the
a Hairs of their government.
We oppose secret meetings of any Legislative Committee, and
Commission Board or Administrative Department.
We conclude that secrecy in government, if allowed to prevail,
becomes an unconscious development that ends in a voluntary
surrender of a free people escaping from freedom to one auto-
cratic master.
ROADS AND HIGHWAY
The Republican Party has consistently advocated a non-partisan
policy which insists on the appointments of professionally oriented
Highway Commissioners and the hiring of personnel based on
qualifications rather than political loyalty.
We see the present program of automobile inspections as a
totally inadequate approach towards stemming the shocking high-
way fatality figures in our State.
We would recommend more thorough studies of highway safety
hazards, more consistent policies, a broader backing for our State
Highway Patrol, and greater attention to the overall condition of
our rural roads.
HIGHWAY SAFETY
There is no simple solution to the increasing slaughter upon
our highways, but an effective state program dealing with every
aspect of the problem is urgent.
Increased emphasis upon driver education, both in our schools
and adult clinics, and upon public information forums is essen-
tial in making our citizenry safety-conscious.
Highway engineering and construction to eliminate locations
of high accident frequency is a life-saver which cannot be de-
layed.
Above all, there should be vigorous and impartial law enforce-
ment to instill into law violators a healthy respect for the traffic
Republican Platform 225
laws. Meddling with the State Highway Patrol for political rea-
sons is inexcusable whether on a local or gubernatorial level.
The Republican Party condemns such political shenanigans in
highway law enforcement and commits itself to a strict, impartial
enforcement of our traffic laws.
JUDICIARY
The administration of justice in North Carolina has needed
sensible modernization for many years. In the 1961 session of
the General Assembly the unanimous support of Republican
members resulted in the submission to the people of constitu-
tional amendments to pave the way for court improvement. The
people indicated by their overwhelming approval of these amend-
ments that they wanted reform. The 1963 Session saw almost no
activity towards implementing of the approved amendments.
There were even brags by some of the Democrat members of the
Legislature that there would be no implementation. In 1964 the
Republican Party pledged an all out effort to bring about uni-
formity of the lower court systems of North Carolina and the
general updating of our court procedures in order to improve and
expedite the administration of justice and in 19 65 appropriate
legislation was enacted. The Democrats have demonstrated bad
faith by opposing Republican sponsored legislation designed to
allow open election of Judges in the District where they are to
serve. The Republican Party will continue to advocate open and
uninhibited election of Judges in this State by the people in the
District where the Judge is to serve.
I SE OF STATE FACILITIES BY THOSE ADVOCATING
OVERTHROW OF OUR GOVERNMENT
The Republican Party of North Carolina is unalterably opposed
to the use of State Buildings and facilities, as a forum, by per-
sons or organizations known to advocate the overthrow of the
Constitution or Government of the United States or the State of
North Carolina by force or violence.
AGRICULTURE
The Republican Party has long held that minimal agricultural
diversification, low per capita incomes and a declining rural popu-
126 North Carolina Manual
lalion has accentuated the plight of North Carolina farming.
We recognize the inevitable changes which will be reshaping
our farm economy through increased technology and mechaniza-
tion. Therefore, we recommend:
A. Greatly expanded technical assistance to enable farmers to
!ace rapidly changing methods of production.
B. Basic research through experimental stations which will open
up new potentials in crop diversification.
('. Availability of reasonable long term capital with which to
finance needed mechanization.
Further we feel great emphasis should be exerted through all
related stale agencies to develop more processing and distribu-
tion of local agricultural production. We see no valid reason for
such high proportions of out-of-state agricultural products being
imported to serve North Carolina markets.
CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT
We believe that the greatesl single indictment against our
present Conservation and Development Department is the shock-
ingly low per capita income for the people of our state.
Standing ai 43rd among the 50 states, business economists
have predicted it will take a half a century for North Carolina to
catch up with the rest of the nation in per capita income at the
present rate of growth.
We submit this to be the most acute economic problem of our
state. Attracting industries which utilize comparatively un-
skilled and untrained labor contributes very little to our overall
problem of low per capita income. We want to see more emphasis
on developing industries which would afford higher incomes to
our state's wage earners
To this end, we recommend an immediate and sharply expanded
boost to the Research Triangle. In addition, we recommend any
other regionally placed sub-centers which might be needed for
p icialized research, industrialization and development. Diversi-
fication of industry and more technical jobs created by these
centers represent the two most logical approaches in attacking
our states chronic problem of unemployment and under-employ-
ment.
Republican Platform 227
I/ABOK
The Republican Party commends the working men and women
of North Carolina, who because of their efforts have raised their
standard of living and improved their working conditions.
We strongly support the proposition that through free and
honest elections the laboring people shall have opportunity to
determine whether it is their desire to associate with a union or
not. We do believe, however, that individuals, who after a prop-
erly conducted election have decided to be represented by a
union who will be their bargaining agent, be given every oppor-
tunity to immediately begin bargaining with management.
While some progress has been made to establish a meaningful
minimum wage in North Carolina, we believe that additional steps
should be taken by the 19 67 General Assembly. We are of the
opinion that the Republican Party should introduce and support
legislation that would guarantee a $1.25 minimum wage in our
state by January 1, 1968.
We further believe that the present North Carolina unemploy-
ment and working-man's compensation laws are in need of study
and revision. We believe that a thorough study will show a need
for a substantial increase in the unemployment and workmen's
compensation benefits when compared to other progressive states
of this nation. We therefore propose that the 1967 General As-
sembly undertake such a study to properly determine equitable
and honorable workman's and unemployment compensation bene-
fits.
We believe that union leaders should set the example for
proper and honest conduct in the organizing and governing of the
labor movement and unions.
Union members should at all times have the opportunity to
freely and openly express themselves and vote on all matters
without fear of intimidation or reprisals against them or their
families. We further believe that all matters pertaining to
finances, dues, as well as all expenditures of union funds, should
be freely and openly discussed and voted on by the entire mem-
bership; and that no monies be expended without the express
will of the majority of the membership.
228 North Carolina Manual
INTERNAL WATER RESOURCES
The Republican Party of North Carolina believes the need for
conserving water is of such importance that water resources
development should be put on a. par with agricultural and indus-
trial development. While water problems in the State have not
yel reached serious proportions, there are some developing areas
whir, total water demands soon may exceed available supplies;
and adequate water quality shortly may pose serious problems for
the entire state. Thus, while there is still time to do so, the
Republican Party of North Carolina advocates that increased
emphasis be placed on fully developing water resources of the
State to meet foreseeable State demands for decades to come.
We must immediately get down to the task of systematic plan-
ning for the best use of the State's water resources in an orderly
and rational way.
HOME RULE
The Republican Party is alarmed by the increasing centraliza-
tion of power in Raleigh and Washington. As an example, more
than one-half of the legislation enacted by the North Carolina
General Assembly is local legislation not applicable to the state
as a whole.
CONSTITUTIONAL. REFORM
The progress of North Carolina should not continue to be ham-
pered by an antiquated, out-moded state constitution adopted in
L868 and cluttered with a hodge-podge of unrelated and confus-
ing amendments.
The Republican Party advocates the call of a Constitutional
Convention for the purpose of drafting and submitting to the
people a modern up-to-date constitution.
PURLIC HEALTH
The Republican Party knowing that sound physical and mental
health is of basic importance to the life and happiness of the
people realizes that this is primarily an individual responsibility,
a local responsibility, a responsibility of charitable organizations,
a responsibility of the cities and counties. The Republican Party
Republican Platform 229
recognizes that it is the responsibility of city, county, and state
government to safeguard public health in areas beyond the power
of the individual citizen and therefore it pledges itself to dis-
charge this obligation and responsibility with maximum efficiency
and minimum interference with the liberties of the people, and
to spend the people's money with as much care as if it were all
our own.
We pledge our best efforts in making North Carolina's health
environment the safest in which to live, work, and play.
More specifically, we pledge ourselves to give immediate atten-
tion to solving the following important problems:
1. Pollution of water, soil, and air. Growing population and
industrial expansion has aggravated existing wide spread
pollution of streams and water supplies by human and
industrial wastes. Overloaded and outmoded sewage dis-
posal facilities, and inadequate water purification facilities
in many locations have created in many areas situations
of great and increasing danger to the health of the people.
Immediate correction of these conditions, with intelligence
and imagination is imperative. A farseeing, coordinated
statewide plan, in cooperation with analogous projects in
neighboring states, needs to be developed and carried out
without delay to insure purity of surface and ground water
and the water in our recreation areas.
2. Programs for making more and better use of the skills of
elderly citizens through cooperation with and assistance
to our private enterprise economy sector.
3. More careful long range planning to improve and maintain
sanitary conditions in the fringe areas around cities and
towns particularly the faster growing ones.
4. Health needs of our growing population demands more and
better efforts to induce young people to prepare themselves
for health service careers. This includes opposing the
incentive-killing effect of federal government aid and con-
trol of health services. We advocate the establishment of
a research division within the department of health for the
purpose of determining if there be elements which may
induce cancer in cigarette smoke and if such be found
determining their exact nature and methods of eliminating
these from processed cigarette tobacco.
230 Xipk i ii C \K"i iw M \\i \i
PUBLIC WELFARE
We recognize thai in every economy there are two groups of
citizens, one which is unable to provide for itself and the other
which is unwilling to provide for itself. It is the responsibility
of our state and local government to care for all those so handi-
capped by unfortunate circumstances. Under present procedure
there is too much opportunity for abuses in qualifying for welfare
assistance. It is true that in all too many cases persons are
receiving welfare assistance who refuse to work. It is impera-
tive that more clearly defined limits and restrictions be placed
upon recipients of welfare assistance to the end that cases of
necessity are adequately cared for and cases of abuse are imme-
diately checked and discontinued.
In many cases it is true that some of the more needy receive
too little in the way of assistance. The Republican Party be-
lieves that stricter enforcement of requirements for participation
in public welfare with more adequate assistance to those entitled
to receive is essential.
The Republican Party advocates more exacting legislation
requiring irresponsible parents to maintain their children and
requiring adult children of sufficient income to maintain and
support their needy parents. The enforcement of these laws will
relieve taxpayers of this \mwarranted burden.
COMMERCIAL FISHERIES — SALT WATER RESOURCES
As this division of the North Carolina Department of Conserva-
tion and Development has functioned in the past, little construc-
tive emphasis has been placed upon either of the fundamental
functions of Conservation or development of North Carolina fish-
ery resources. This lack of emphasis and resulting failure in its
primary purposes is partly attributable to unnecessary emphasis
on the activities of tax collection and law enforcement.
Under the control of the Democrat Party, the operation of the
Commercial and Sports Fisheries Division of the North Carolina
Department of Conservation and Development, as presently con-
ducted, has become a matter of collecting taxes (from the fishing
industry) with which to pay for law enforcement officers. Many
of the laws enforced are merely laws levying taxes (or licenses).
Thus, this agency is, in effect a "political perpetual motion ma-
Republican Platform 231
chine," accomplishing only its own continuation.
The Republican Party advocates the assumption by the Depart-
ment of Revenue of tax collecting functions of the Commercial
Fisheries Division which is presently handled by the Department
of Conservation and the North Carolina Department of Conversa-
tion and Development.
Boats are the machinery used by fishermen for making their
living. For the reason that the farmer's plow is not taxed, the
fisherman's boat should not be taxed by special licenses.
We further deem it necessary that the law enforcement func-
tions of the Commercial and Sports Fisheries Division of the
North Carolina Department of Conservation and Development
be assumed by a duly constituted law enforcement agency of the
State, the North Carolina Waterway Patrol. The North Carolina
Republican Party believes that, in this way, more effective and
constructive practices can be established and that valuable con-
tributions to the economics of the coastal areas of North Carolina
can be made. We, furthermore, believe that these accomplish-
ments will "inure" to the general benefit of all North Carolinians.
Once relieved of these two functions mentioned above, the
Commercial and Sports Fisheries Division of the North Carolina
Department of Conservation and Development should direct its
efforts toward the proper objectives of conservation of basic
brood stocks of the State's fishery resources and the development
of the fishing and related industries.
We believe that the Division of Commercial and Sports Fish-
eries should be a separate department of government which will
place added emphasis upon research, seafood processing and mar-
keting in an attempt to raise the economy of coastal North Caro-
lina and that this new division should also place added emphasis
on the development of the sports fishing industry in North Caro-
lina.
STATE PORTS
The North Carolina Republican Party believes that the North
Carolina port facilities at Morehead City and Wilmington are
vitally important to the State and its industries by affording the
opportunity for world-wide commerce; and we advocate that
major emphasis be placed upon our ports for their expansion in
_:'.: North Carolina Manual
art';i.'~ regarding promotion, advertising, and capital improve-
ments; and we believe that a modern East-West highway is essen-
tial for the growth and usage of our ports.
We believe that these port facilities can and should continue
to operate on a self-supporting basis in the tradition of a free and
competitive economy.
COASTAL WATER WAYS
The North Carolina Republican Party is aware of the tremen-
dous increase of pleasure boating in our coastal water, and is
also aware that the lack of concern regarding the boating public
is a detriment to tourist trade in our coastal areas. Therefore,
we advocate the following policies:
1. That there be an acceleration in the construction of boat
ramps and relief stations in our coastal areas to be under
the direction of the North Carolina Wildlife Reserve Com-
mission.
2. That the State inaugurate a politically free Waterway Pa-
trol to promote safe boating practices, and to provide assist-
ance and protection for the boating public; and that there
be established safety requirements and regulations for the
operation of high powered boats.
•".. That the North Carolina Highway Department in the mu-
tual interest of highway traffic and water traffic adopt a
policy of increasing the clearances under all fixed and
draw-span bridges over coastal waterways.
INLAND LAKES AND RIVERS
The Republican Party recognizes the rights of all persons to
enjoy inland lakes and rivers. We also recognize the dangers
and problems involved wrhen the same streams and lakes are used
by different persons for different forms of recreation. We propose
statewide regulation for the protection and control of boaters,
swimmers, skiers, fishermen and divers while using our inland
public waters.
RIGHTS OF CITIZENSHIP
I'nder the proper interpretation of the philosophy of govern-
ment that our forefathers dreamed of and we seek to bring into
Republican Platfobm 233
realization, we, the Republican Party believe it to be fundamen-
tally true that the will of the majority ought to prevail within the
framework of the Constitution. In the proper exercise of that
will, however, the proper regard must be used to safeguard the
rights of minorities — whose members are entitled to equal and
full citizenship of this state, and to the rights and freedom of
choices of the individual citizen.
CONCLUSION
The future of our State is bright, for the people are realizing
the advantages and necessity of a healthy two-party system of
government. The shackles and heavy yoke of oppressive and
lethargic one-party system are rapidly being discarded in North
Carolina. Control of the government is being returned to the
people, where it rightly should and will be with the emergency of
a healthy, competitive, and active two-party system of govern-
ment. Your vote for Republican candidates, dedicated to these
our principles of good government, will speed the advent of gov-
ernment by the people, of the people, and for the people.

sidered more than once.
