PART I
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 1663 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
far 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 3 6 degrees and 30 minutes north latitude, and the south-
ern line was 29 degrees north latitude, and both of these lines ex-
tended westward to the South Seas.
In 16 69 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 1670 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 1729 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
4 NoKTH Cakom.na Mani'ai,
lirst governor under this constitution. On November 21, 1789, the
state adopted the United States Constitution, being the twelfth
state to 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.
A 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-
ple 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, 1868.
A new State Constitution was adopted in 18 68 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
added 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
the main building was destroyed by fire February 27, 1798. The
first capitol in Raleigh was completed in 1794 and was destroyed
by fire on June 21, 1831. The present capitol was completed in
1840.
The state in 17 90 ceded her western lands, which was composed
of Washington, Davidson, Hawkins, Greene, Sullivan, Sumner, and
Tennessee counties, to the Federal government, and between 1790
and 1796 the territory was known as Tennessee Territory, but in
1796 it became 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
appellant 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 be held at Edenton, Wilmington, and Edgecombe. From 1754
The State 5
until 1790. 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 1806, 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 1865 the population of the state showed a steady
increase so that beginning in 1943 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
The 19 68 crop season was not a highly satisfactory one for
North Carolina farmers. Production of most of the spring-planted
crops was curtailed quite sharply by moisture deficiencies over a
period of several weeks during critical stages of crop development.
These reduced yields, coupled with smaller acreages for most
crops, caused the total volume of production to fall substantially
below 19 67 levels. Also, with few exceptions, prices received at
market places for crops in 1968 fell below 19 67 levels. The value
6 NoKTH Carolina Manual
of all principal crops produced in North Carolina during 1968 is
estimated at $733 million. This represents a reduction of $126
million, or 15% below the 1967 value of $859 million.
Three major crops — in order named — tobacco, corn, and soy-
beans, accounted for a major portion of the reduction in value of
production in 19 68. Value of tobacco production declined more
than $89 million from approximately $535 million in 1967 to
$445 million in 1968. Corn value declined $31 million from $118
million in 1967 to $87 million in 1968. The largest drop percent-
age wise occurred with soybeans — a drop from $67.6 million in
1967 to $39.3 million in 1968. This is a decline of $28.3 million
or 42% from 1967.
Only two major crops — corn and peanuts — registered increases
in value of production in 1968 as compared with 1967. The value
of cotton and cotton seed increased from $7.3 million in 1967 to
$19.2 million in 1968. Cotton production in 1968 was almost
three times as large as in 1967. Value of the peanut production
increased from $40.3 million in 1967 to $43.3 million in 1968.
Figures on value of production relate to the crop year and
should not be confused with cash receipts from farm marketings
during a calendar year. Although cash receipts from farm mar-
ketings in 1968 are not yet available, it is quite evident that the
19 68 figures will fall substantially below the record high total of
$1,280 million realized in 1967. Receipts from sales of crops in
1967 amounted to $816 million. In comparison, it is likely that
1968 receipts from sales of crops may be as low as $700 million.
This anticipated loss in agricultural receipts from crop sales will
probably be partially offset by increased income from sales of live-
stock and livestock products, which should establish a record
high total of some $48 5 million exceeding the 19 67 total by more
than $20 million.
Flue-cured tobacco production in North Carolina from the crop
of 1968, at 652 million pounds, fell 20% below the 819 million
pound crop marketed in 19 67. This production loss results from
reduced acreage and from a smaller leaf turnout per acre. The
average yield per acre in 1968 is estimated at 1,836 pounds, down
235 pounds from the 1967 yield of $2,071 pounds.
Corn production, estimated at 80.9 million bushels in 1968,
was 23% smaller than the 1967 record high production of ap-
The State 7
proximately 105 million bushels. Acreage of corn harvested for
grain in 1968 was slightly below the 1967 level and the average
yield per acre of 60 bushels fell 16 bushels short of the record
high 76 bushel yield realized in 1967.
Soybeans, the crop most severely damaged by droughty condi-
tions, produced only 16 million bushels of beans in 1968, with
production falling 41% below the record high 27.4 million bush-
els produced in 1967.
Conservation and Development
The Department of Conservation and Development began 19 69
with new leadership and a new commitment to balanced economic
development for Noth Carolina. Almost within hours after Gov-
ernor Robert W. Scott's inaugural ceremonies, Roy G. Sowers, Jr.
of Sanford was sworn in as the Department's new Director, and
Gilliam K. Horton of Wilmington became the C&D Board's new
Chairman.
The two men assumed their duties, pledged to implement Gov-
ernor Scott's proposals to achieve what he calls a "good life for
all North Carolinians." A key ingredient in that program was a
new effort to revitilize the poor rural areas of North Carolina.
Within days after taking office. Sowers was at work designing a
plan of action. He also served notice that a balanced approach
would be taken in building a State that was not only a good place
to make a living in, but also a good State to live in. The Depart-
ment is committed to giving as much attention to the wise de-
velopment and management of North Carolina's natural resources
as it intends to give to a renewed effort to improve the economic
well-being of all Tar Heels.
The department's new leaders arrived simultaneously with
major recommendations from the Conservation and Development
Study Commission. The study group, authorized by the 1967
General Assembly, had been instructed to study the feasibility of
splitting the department into two agencies — one concerned with
development and the other devoted to conservation activities.
The commission recommended against splitting the department,
8 Nourii Caroona Manttai.
conini(>ntinp; that it "is now functioning at a hig;h level of effi-
ciency," and had succeeded in "attracting outstanding leadership
as division heads. Director, and Chairman of the Board."
The commission did suggest a number of internal changes, and
advised the department to improve its lines of communication with
those groups and persons mainly interested in conservationist
activities. One of the first actions by Director Sowers was to
invite the leading conservationists to Raleigh for a get-acquainted
session and to invite their active interest and participation in
departmental affairs.
The new leadership came in on the wake of outstanding achieve-
ments in 1968. All eight divisions in the Department experienced
record activity last year.
The Division of Commerce and Industry's year-end report
showed that capital investments in North Carolina for 491 new
and expanded manufacturing facilities in 1968 amounted to
$574,840,000. These investments created 31,297 new industrial
jobs for the people of North Carolina and increased industrial
payrolls by $153,271,000. A breakdown shows that in 1968,
$274,670,000 was invested in 167 new plants which created
14,637 jobs and added $68,393,000 in payrolls. A total of 324
firms expanded their existing operations in 1968, investing $300,
170,000 creating 16,660 new jobs and adding $84,878,000 to the
State's industrial payrolls.
The Travel and Promotion Division responded to a record num-
ber of inquiries last year about North Carolina — some 200,000
pieces of mail. In addition, the division sponsored a travel mis-
sion in November to South America headed by Governor Dan
Moore. It is believed that this was the first such trip to South
America undertaken by a State. The division reported in iMarch
this year, that travelers in North Carolina spent $696,000,000 in
the State in 19 68 — more than twice the amount spent in 1958.
The State's first two Welcome Centers, administered by the
division, were constructed and opened in 1968. They are located
on Inter-state Highways 85 and 95 near the Virginia line.
The State Parks Division of C&D began 1969 by adding the
sixteenth park facility to its system. Stone Mountain State Park,
some 1,400 acres in Wilkes and Alleghany Counties, became a
The State 9
reality in February. In addition, the State Parks and State
Forests Study Commission concluded a two-year study in Feb-
ruary by recommending that the more than 53,000 acres of State
parks, forests and lakes be doubled by 1980, and that a $40
million state-wide bond issue be considered to raise the money.
The recommendations were taken under advisement by the Gov-
ernor and the General Assembly.
The Commercial and Sports Fisheries Division acquired a new
Fisheries Commissioner, Dr. Thomas Linton, in September 1968.
The division also concluded a two-year study of trash fishing in
November, and in February this year secured a federal grant to
continue the study on a more scientific basis.
In March this year, legislation was being prepared to give the
division major responsibilities in the administration of a Compre-
hensive Estuarine program for North Carolina.
The Forestry Division, the department's largest with the re-
sponsibility of protecting North Carolina's 18 million acres of
woodlands, fought more than 6,300 forest fires during 1968
which burned more than 80,600 acres of woodlands . . . 20,000
acres less than were burned in 1967. The division's four nurser-
ies began the 1968-69 shipping season with a total inventory of
67 million seedlings. Of these, 56.7 million will be ready for
sale in 1969, an increase of 6.5 million over 1968.
The Division of Mineral Resources reported early this year
that a preliminary survey showed the value of mineral production
in North Carolina in 1968 reached a record $78.5 million, as
compared to the $77 million in 1967. The division, through State
Geologist Steve Conrad, participated in discussions and studies
which resulted in mining legislation being proposed to the 19 69
General Assembly. Conrad served as a member of the Mining
Council.
A cooperative program with the Tennessee Valley Authority
was initiated in 19 68 for a geological mapping and mineral re-
sources study effort in western North Carolina. The TVA provided
$15,000 for the 1968-69 program with prospects for doubling that
amount in subsequent years. Funds were recommended to the
19 69 General Assembly for the division to begin a badly needed
topographic mapping program.

The nivision of Community Plannins began 1969 with the pos-
sibility of boins shifted to a proposed Department of Local Af-
fairs. The suggested agency was a major plank in Governor
Scott's 196S campaign as a means to improve services to local
governments. The division provided planning assistance to a
record number of counties and municipalities in 1968.
The Division of Geodetic Survey conducted extensive marking
projects throughout the State in cooperation with the U. S. Coast
and Geodetic Survey during 196S. The division established a
total of 651 control markers during calendar year 1968.
Public Health in North Carolina
Ever since its creation by the General Assembly of 1877, the
State Board of Health has conducted effective programs to protect
and promote public health in North Carolina.
In 1911 Guilford County was the first county in the United
States to inaugurate a fulltime health program. The following
year Robeson became the first predominantly rural county in the
nation to take the same step. By 1949 all 100 counties were
participating in public health programs.
In many ways North Carolina is a national leader in public
health affairs. The new statute relating to abortion enacted by the
1967 General Assembly is bringing the State credit as a pioneer
in dealing effectively with the problem. North Carolina published
the nation's first Occupational Health Manual in 19 61. A pro-
gram for detecting PKU — phenylketonuria — in North Carolina
serves as a model for other states. (PKU is a disorder that re-
sults in severe mental retardation. Early detection and treatment
can prevent destruction of mental faculties.)
The new law calling for adequate ambulance service involves
the State Board of Health. The Board establishes criteria for
safety, sanitation, equipment, and training of attendants. Health
inspectors evaluate vehicles, equipment and personnel and certify
those that measure up to standards.
The new Medical Examiner System, which will strengthen the
The Statk 11
State's abililties to ensure just and effective investigation of suspi-
cious deaths and a more adequate detection of criminal causes
of death, is a function of the State Board of Health. The Chief
Medical Examiner is a member of the State Board staff.
The State Board of Health is the State agency administering
the Health Insurance Benefits Program (Medicare). The Board
spends $2.7 million a year on surgical, medical and hospital
services for children.
The Board is responsible for seeing that children of pre-school
age are vaccinated for smallpox, diptheria, tetanus and whooping
cough. Mobile Tuberculosis X-ray units traveling about the
State are from the State Board of Health. The Board licenses
nursing homes and homes for the aged and infirm. It conducts
programs for the control of insects, rodents and air pollution.
Sanitarians inspect and grade food handlers and food handling
establishments, sucli as restaurants and food processing plants.
They keep an eye on the public water supplies and sewerage
systems.
Clinics throughout the State educate and help the public in
such health areas as prenatal care, pediatrics, mental health,
orthopedics, venereal diseases, and cancer detection.
A dental health program in public schools provides many chil-
dren their first — and for some, their only — opportunity to receive
attention from a dentist. The Little Jack Puppet Show entertains
grade school children while teaching them the basic rules for
having healthy teeth.
The Board administers new programs in genetic counseling.
Family planning activities are being expanded, using new tech-
niques. Health programs for senior citizens and the chronically
ill are being conducted. The Board carries out a coordinated
State radiological health program, and far-reaching programs in
health mobilization, migrant health, physical therapy, public
health nursing, and home health services.
The modern laboratory renders preventive services and conducts
thousands of analyses every year to help the various divisions of
the Board carry on effective programs of surveillance.
Consultant staffs of both the State Board and local health

departments are actively seeking ways of improving health serv-
ices. Professional and non-professional employees are continually
improving their knowledge and efficiency. A special training
program is conducted statewide through the facilities of educa-
ti(>iial television for public health workers in every county to
improve th(Mr performances.
State Highway Systems
On January 1, 1968, the State had under its direct jurisdiction
73,232 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:
The Primary State Highway System is made up of the U. S.,
N. C. and Interstate numbered routes, and has a length of 11,654
miles. The largest of the three systems is the Rural Secondary
System of 58,122 miles, of which 32,044 miles are paved — the
remainder being surfaced with stone, soil or other all weather
material. There is more rural paving in North Carolina than in
any other state except Texas, New York, Ohio, California, Penn-
sylvania 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 3,45 6 miles of streets which form a part of the State High-
way and Road systems in municipalities. Of this Municipal Sys-
tem, 3,255 miles are paved.
Combining the three systems, the State operates a network of
46,887 miles of paved and 26,345 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
The State 13
million Bond Issue authorized in the Statewide referendum of
November, 19 65; completing the Interstate Highway System;
and continuing the Appalachian Highway Program. Some 4 25
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, 1968, the State Highway Fund, including
Federal Aid, expended $274,004,993 for highway, road, and street
construction, maintenance, betterments and improvements, in-
cluding the operation of the Motor Vehicle Department, Highway
Patrol, Highway Safety Division, other state agencies, and the
retirement of Secondary Road Bonds.
Rural Electric and Telephone Service
Rural areas of North Carolina received little benefits from
rural electrification prior to 193 5, which is often spoken of as
the starting point. At that time, only 1,884 miles of rural lines
serving 11,558 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 99,190 miles of rural lines serving 933,522
consumers. In addition to this, there were 212 miles under con-
struction or authorized for construction to serve 2,459 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 aiid hay driers; irrigation; and
many other electric-motor driven pieces of farm producing equip-
14 Noui II Cauoiina Manual
nuMit. p]le(;tri(iLy affords lire 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 poultry and 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 As-
sembly enacted the Rural Telephone Act, charging the North
Carolina Rural Electrification Authority with the responsibility
of assisting rural residents 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 activi-
ties of the State Authority and oher industry and the organiza-
tion of a number of member-owned Telephone Membership Cor-
porations, over seven or 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.
PuiiLic Schools
North Carolina provides a basic State-supported nine months
public school term, which is supplemented by the 157 local school
administrative units. Public school enrollment in 1967-68 was
1,218,188, the ninth largest enrollment of the 50 states. At-
tendance is compulsory for children between the ages of 7 and
16. There were 52,152 teachers, principals and supervisors in
1967-68. 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 9,234 buses, transporting
about 603,000 pupils to the public schools. In 1967-68 there were
2,117 separately organized public schools in the State, and the
total value of public school property was $1,060,014,981. Ex-
penditures per pupil for current expenses included $292.18 from
State funds, $65.66 from federal funds, and $68.45 from local
sources. The State Board of Education, with three ex-officio
members and ten members appointed by the Governor and con-
The State 15
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 rules, 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-
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 trans-
fer programs, technical programs, vocational programs, and gen-
eral adult and community service courses. Institutions in opera-
tion in the fall of 19 68 were 13 community colleges, and 37 tech-
nical institutes. The average annual full-time equivalent enroll-
ment for the 50 institutions in 1967-68 was over 32,000. The
total number of persons served (unduplicated headcount) for
1967-68 was over 189,000.
16 North Carolina Manual
COLLEOKS and UNIVERSITIES
The TTniversity of North Carolina, chartered in 1789, was the
first State University in the United States to open its doors.
Today, the University of North Carolina is composed of six
units: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North
Carolina State University at Raleigh, University of North Carolina
at Charlotte, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, the
University of North Carolina at Asheville and the University of
North Carolina at Wilmington.
There are ten tax-supported senior colleges and regional
universities located throughout the State: Appalachian State
University (Boone), East Carolina University (Greenville), Eliza-
beth City State University (Elizabeth City), Fayetteville State
University (Fayetteville), North Carolina Agricultural and
Technical State University (Greensboro), North Carolina Cen-
tral University (Durham), North Carolina School of the Arts
(Winston-Salem), Pembroke State University (Pembroke),
Western Carolina University (Cullowhee), and Winston-Salem
State University (Winston-Salem).
Thirteen tax-supported State community colleges, requiring
local financial support in addition to State funds, are in opera-
ion: Central Piedmont Community College (Charlotte), College
of the Albemarle (Elizabeth City), Davidson County Community
College (Lexington), Gaston College (Gastonia), Isothermal Com-
munity College (Spindale), Lenoir County Community College
(Kinston), Rockingham Community College (Wentworth), Sand-
hills Community College (Southern Pines), Southeastern Com-
munity College (Whiteville), Surry Community College (Dob-
son), Wayne Community College (Goldsboro), Western Piedmont
Community College (Morganton) , and Wilkes Community Col-
lege ( Wilkesboro) .
In all there are 71 institutions of higher learning in the State.
Among the forty-two private or church-related institutions, there
are two universities (Duke University in Durham, one of the most
heavily endowed institutions of higher learning in the world, and
Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem), twenty-eight senior
colleges, and fourteen junior colleges. There are also one theo-
logical seminary and three Bible colleges.
The State 17
Total college enrollment in North Carolina institutions of
higher learning, both public and private, was 112,805 in Fall
1966 and 120,558 in Fall 1967.
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 the
cooperation of other agencies and colleges, public and private,
in developing a system of higher education that meets the State's
ongoing and future needs at the highest level of excellence.
THE STATE CAPITOL
The original State Capitol 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 1832-33 $ 50,000.00
Session of 1833-34 75,000.00
Session of 1834-35 75,000.00
Session of 1835 75,000.00
Session of 1836-37 120,000.00
Session of 1838-39 105,300.00
Session of 1840-41 31,374.46
Total $531,674.46
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
19
20 NoKiii Cauoi.ina Mam ai,
and when the entire taxes for all State purposes reached less than
$100,000, yet the people were satisfied. The building had been
erected with rigorous economy, and it was an object of great pride
to the people. Indeed, never was money better expended than in
the erection of this noble Capitol.
Description of the Capitol, Written by David Paton,
the Architect
"The State Capitol is 160 feet in length from north to south
by 140 feet from east to west. The whole height is 91 Vz feet in the
center. The apex of pediment is 64 feet in height. The stylobate
is 18 feet in height. The columns of the east and west porticoes
are 5 feet 2i/4 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 649 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 4,370 square feet. The vestibules are decor-
ated with columns and antae, similar to those of the Ionic Tem-
ple on the Ilissus, near the Acropolis of Athens. The remainder
is groined with stone and brick, springing from columns and
pilasters of the Roman Doric.
"The second story consists of Senatorial and Representatives'
chambers, the former containing an area of 2,545 and the latter
2,8 4 9 square feet. Four apartments enter from Senate Chamber,
two of which contain each an area of 169 square feet, and the other
two contain each an area of 154 square feet; also, two rooms enter
The Capitol 21
from Representatives' chamber, each containing an area of 170
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 F. Morgan were appointed by Lieu-
tenant Governor Luther E. Earnhardt; B. L 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 Frank 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 5V2-
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, 19 60; construction commenced
in early 1961. The 1961 General Assembly appropriated an addi-
tional $1 million for furnishings and equipment bringing the total
appropriation to IS^o million.
Based upon the latest census, the cost of the building to citizens
of North Carolina was $1.24 each.
♦The Building is commonly referred to as THE STATE HOUSE.
23
24 NoKTii Cauoijna Mam'ai.
Description of the Building
The State Legislative Building, though not an imitation of his-
toric classical styles, is classical in character. Rising from a 340-
foot wide podium of North Carolina granite, the building proper is
242 feet square. The walls and the columns are of Vermont mar-
ble, the latter forming a colonnade encompassing the building
and reaching 24 feet from the podium to the roof of the second
fioor.
Inset in the south podium floor, at the main entrance, is a 28-
foot diameter terrazzo mosaic of the Great Seal of the State. From
the first floor main entrance (at Jones Street) the carpeted 22-
foot 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 1,500 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 25
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, dogw^oods, 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 the
letter N in gilt on the left and the letter C in gilt on the right of
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.)

Abraham Alexander was appointed Chairman, and John Mc-

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
our rights and liberties and inhumanly shed the blood of American
patriots at Lexington.
3. Resolved. That we do hereby declare ourselves a free and in-
dependent people, are, and of right ought to be a sovereign and

Carolina.

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 regula-
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 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 at
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.
37
THE GREAT SEAL
The Constitution of North Carolina, Article III, section 16, re-
quir<*s that
"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
colony and State.
The present Great Seal of the State of North Carolina is de-
scribed as follows:
"The Great 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
mouth of which is resting at her feet, and the contents of horn
rolling out. In the exergon Is inserted the words May 20, 1775,
above the coat of arms. Around the circumference is the legend
'The Great Seal of the State of North Carolina' and the motto
'Esse Quam Videri'." (Rev., s. 5339; Code ss. 3328, 3329; 1868-9,
c. 270, s. 35; 1883, c. 392; 1893. c. 145.)
38
THE HALIFAX RESOLUTION
Adopted by the Provincial Congress of North Carolina in Session
at Halifax, April 12, 1776.
"The Select Committee taking into Consideration the usurpa-
tions and violences attempted and committed by the King and
Parliament 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 appears to your Committee that pursuant to the Plan con-
certed by the British Ministry for subjugating America, the King
and Parliament 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 be 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 i'rom 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 South 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 State
motto. It is found in Cicero in his essay on Friendship (Cicero de
Amicitia, Chap. 26)

4 2 N()[;iii ("akoi.in A Mamai.
It is a little singular that until the act of 1893 the sovereign
State of North Carolina had no motto since its declaration of in-
dependence. It was one of the very few states which did not have
a motto and the only one of the original thirteen without one.
(Rev., s 5320; 1893. c. 145; G. S. 144-2.)
The State Colors
The General Assembly of 1945 declared Red and Blue of shades
appearing in the North Carolina State Flag and the American
P^'lag 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, 1941, c. 289; G. S. 145-1.)
The State Song
The song known as "The Old North State" was adopted as the
official song of the State of North Carolina by the General Assem-
bly of 1927. (Public Laws, 1927, c. 26; G.S. 149-1).
The State Shell
The General 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 1963. (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).
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!
Public Holidays 43
Here's to the land where the galax grows,
Where the rhododendron's rosette glows,
Where soars Mount Mitchell's summit great,
In the "Land of the Sky," in the Old North State!
Here's to the land where maidens are fair.
Where friends are true and cold hearts rare,
The near land, the dear land whatever fate.
The blest land, the best land, 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
UEt'LARATION 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
47
4S Nnui II CvKoiJNA Manual
right should be exorcised in pursuance of law. and consistently
with the Constitution of the United States.
Sec. 4. That there in no riijht to secede. That this State shall
ever remain a member of the American Union; that the people
thereof are 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, ought to be resisted with the whole power
of the State.
Sec. 5. 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 186S, 'CS-UU), '6!i-'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. E.rclusive einolunients. etc. No person or set of persons
are entitled to exclusive or separate emoluments or privileges from
the conuuunity but in consideration of public services.
Constitution 4 9
Sec. 8. The legislative, executive and judicial potoers 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 poiver 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. Ayiswers 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 to
be granted.
Sec. 16. Imprisonment for debt. There shall be no imprison-
ment for debt in this State, except in cases of fraud.
50 NouTii Carolina Manuai,
Sec. 17. No persons tiikcn. etc., but by law of land. No person
ought to 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 the law of the land.
Sec. 18. 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. 19. Controversies at laiv 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. Freedor.i 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 51
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 he 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 laios. 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 right
and justice administered without sale, denial, or delay.

peace, be quartered in any house without the consent of the owner;
nor in time of war but in a manner prescribed by law.
Sec. 37. Treason acjainst the State. Treason against the State
shall 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.

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."

The Hag of 17 9 5 had the stars arranged in three rows of five
each instead of in a circle, and served for 23 years.
With the admission of more new states, however, it became
apparent that the 1795 flag 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 fiag; 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 fiags, 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 1836, 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.
Thk American Flag 91
"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. 172. 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 with 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-

morial Day (half staff until noon), May 30; Flag Day, June 14;
Independence Day, July 4; Labor Day, first Monday in September;
Constitution Day, September 17; Columbus Day, October 12;
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 place
on election days.
(g) The flag should be displayed during school days in or
near every schoolhouse.
Sec. 175. 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 American Flag 9^3
tion of superior prominence or honor, and other national flags
in positions of equal prominence or honor, with that of the flag
of the United States at the Headquarters of the United Nations.
(d) 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 a.nother 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) 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.

(k) When used on a speaker's platform, the flag, if displayed
flat, should be displayed above and behind the 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 95
(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, alway«i
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 platform, 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,
flgure, 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.

Sec. 178. Any rule or custom pertaining to the display of the
flag of the United States of America, set forth in sections 171-178
of this title, may be altered, modified, or repealed, or additional
rules with respect thereto may be prescribed, by the Commander
in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, whenever
he deems it to be appropriate or desirable; and any such altera-
tion or additional rule shall be set forth in a proclamation.
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 2'1, 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, 1791).
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 a
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 751 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
70^00'35.7" 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 8,909,200
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 December
2, 1863.
The grounds have had an area of 58.8 acres, at one time a part
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
has been increased to 139 1/^ acres.
The Rotunda is 97 feet 6 inches in diameter, and its height from
the floor to the top of the canopy is 180 feet, 3 inches.
The Senate Chamber is 113 feet, 3 inches, in length by 80 feet,
3 inches, in width and 3 6 feet in height. The galleries will ac-
commodate 68 2 persons.
The Representatives' Hall is 139 feet in length by 93 feet in
width and 3 6 feet in height.
The room, until 1935 the meeting place of the Supreme Court,
was, until 1859, occupied as the Senate Chamber. Previous to that

time the court occupied the room immediately beneath, now used
as a law library.
The Capitol has a floor area of 14 acres, and 430 rooms are de-
voted 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 365 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
H. Hallet, James Hoban, George Hadfield, and B. H. Latrobe.
architects.
The north wing was finished in 1800 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 1827. 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 1865, 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 1905 and occupied on
January 10, 1908; later a story on top was added. The Senate
office building was started in 1906 and occupied on ^March 5, 1909.
The House building cost, with site, $4,860,155; the Senate struc-
ture, $5,019,251.

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 entitles 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 be-
comes 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.
100
Declaration of Independence 101
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:
10 2 Noitrii Carolina Mantai,
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any
Murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these
States:
For cutting oi¥ 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
Laws, 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 10 3
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, Thekefore, 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.

the ground of public confidence in the Government will best insure
the beneficent ends of its institution:

PART 1 1
CENSUS
POPULATION OF THE STATE OF
NORTH CAROLINA
Eighteenth Census of the United States: I960
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 19 60 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 5 4.6 per cent while Mecklenburg was
third with a 38.1 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 86.4 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 3,570 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 1968
The North Carolina Democratic Party commends to the voters
of North Carolina the support of its platform, on the strength
of its principles, its performance, and its promise for the future.
DEMOCRATIC PARTY AFFAIRS
The Democratic Party in North Carolina is the party of the
people, the party of faith, and the party of progress — herein lies
its strength. It has given the State a reservoir of experienced,
dedicated leadership at all levels of government — leadership that
welcomes the challenge of changing times, leadership that has
resulted in progress in all areas affecting the welfare of our
people.
Today as never before we face problems, but the opportunities
of this most complex and exciting era far outweigh the problems.
Democratic leadership in our State accepts gladly the responsibili-
ties that accompany both the problems and the opportunities, and
stands united to continue building a better State for all the
people.
STATE GOVERNMENT
Executive:
The continuity of good government for North Carolina has been
maintained and furthered under the progressive and stable lead-
ership of Governor Dan K. Moore. The growth and progress of
our State toward total development could not have been realized
without the devoted service of State employees. We salute them
for their contributions to our State and pledge to them just com-
pensation and further study of possible benefits that would en-
courage the obtainment and retainment of qualified employees for
the State of North Carolina.
We recognize with gratitude the contributions of the citizens
of this State who give unselfishly of their time and talents through
service on advisory boards of State institutions, agencies, and
councils.
151
152 NoiM'ii C.vKor.iNA Manual
We commend the executive and administrative branches of our
State government for their records of sound and economic gov-
ernment. We call upon them with confidence to expand their
efforts so that the continued growth of our State will be accom-
panied by even greater efficiency and sound business practices.
Ijegislative:
The North Carolina Democratic Party pledges its continued
support to the General Assembly, which, under Democratic lead-
ership has passed progressive laws for more than six decades.
We have confidence in the wisdom and judgment of the members
of the General Assembly to serve the people to the best of their
ability by passing legislation that will make North Carolina a
better place to live and its people liappier, healthier, and more
prosperous.
Judiciary :
An efficient and impartial judicial system is essential to the
preservation of the blessings of liberty and the maintenance of
law and order in a democracy. The Democratic Party has con-
ceived and supported constitutional amendments and laws de-
signed to improve the administration of justice in North Carolina.
The new Court of Appeals, with the addition of a uniform system
of District Courts, provides a firm basis for an improved judicial
system. The Democratic Party will continue its efforts to imple-
ment and strengthen this important cornerstone of democracy.
AGRICtrLTURE
The Democratic Party has historically recognized agriculture
as an important segment of our economy, and as vital to the
health, welfare, and defense of this Nation. It has consistently
supported State and National programs designed to bring farmers
a fair share of the national prosperity and to provide our citizens
with an abundance of high quality farm products.
North Carolina agricultural programs have kept pace with
changing times and are now geared to serving farmers as well
as processors and consumers of farm production in a manner that
will be to the maximum benefit of all concerned. We pledge our
vigorous support and unstinted efforts to such programs. We
Democratic Platform 153
will continue to strive to meet new needs arising from rapid
changes taking place in today's world. We pledge our State
continued advancement in agricultural research and development.
The Democratic Party supports the efforts of farmers to receive
a fair return on their investment and we pledge support of pro-
grams for training rural people and displaced farm workers for
gainful employment.
The Democratic Party is dedicated to work toward full and
profitable utilization of all its abundant agricultural resources,
both natural and human.
CONSTITUTION
We recommend that our Constitution be subjected to periodic
study to the end that it may fill he needs of modern life and at the
same time save us from governmental excesses.
CORRECTIONAL PROGRAMS
Emphasis on programs of education, vocational training and
counseling in the North Carolina Department of Corrections is
heartily approved by the Democratic Party. We believe that this
enlightened approach is a sound method by which prison inmates
can return to society as responsible, contributing citizens. The
same approach is evident in juvenile correction programs and in
probation and paroles programs. We commend the Department
of Corrections on the manner in which it has dealt successfully
with riots and violence within the system.
COUNTIES, CITIES AND TOWNS
North Carolina's urban areas will need special support and
attention. The shift in population from rural to urban has
brought unique problems to counties, cities, and towns.
The Democratic Party suggests that a department concerned
with urban affairs be established to work closely with the coun-
ties, cities and towns to provide technical assistance and plan-
ning advice.
154 NoKTii CARor.iNA Manual
Such a department would be helpful as a central clearing agen-
cy, where representatives from the counties, cities and towns will
find workable answers to their problems.
ECONOMIC DEVnEIyOPMKNT
The Industrial climate created by successive Democratic ad-
ministrations, through sound fiscal policies, reasonable tax levels
fairly administered, values received for tax dollars spent, pro-
gressive educational programs at all levels, with emphasis in
recent years on providing industrial education opportunities for
the 2/3 of our citizens who do not go to college, have combined
with our natural resources and assets to enable North Carolina
to become the leader among the Southeastern states in industrial
development.
Successively, each of the last five (5) Democratic administra-
tions has directed programs greatly exceeding its predecessor, in
investments in new plants and plant expansions. Results were:
1949-52 $ 405 million
1953-56 438 million
1957-60 851 million
1961-64 1,295 million
1965-67 (3 yrs.) 1,758 million
New jobs created were:
1949-52 65,000
1953-56 69,000
1957-60 10 5,000
1961-64 120,000
1965-67 (3 yrs.) 99.000
Estimated average annual wage at time created:
19 49-5 2 $2 476
1953-56 2481
1957-60 3250
1961-64 3388
1965-67 3904
Democratic Platform 155
In the most recent 10 years, the North Carolina per capita in-
come has increased from $2,045 to $2,945, or by 43%.
The Democratic Party pledges continued efforts to increase the
effectiveness of our state's port facilities. We are mindful of the
fine contribution our ports have made to the economic and busi-
ness growth of the state. These facilities should be developed to
the fullest extent.
Our salt water resources are of prime importance. We pledge
our party's continued efforts to preserve and utilize for the
greatest good our salt water resources. We pledge our coopera-
tion in the further development of the state's fishing industry,
realizing the strategic importance of this segment of the economy.
The Democratic Party believes that these upward trends prove
the soundness of Democratic policies, and pledges every effort to
continue to accelerate economic development of the State.
EDUCATION
The Democratic Party in North Carolina has always given
priority to education in an effort to provide a more abundant lilfe
for the citizens of the State. We believe that adequate education
of all children and adults is both a sacred human obligation and
a sound business practice.
Because the people, the State and the Democratic Party believe
education to be a trustworthy foundation for all progress — cul-
tural, economic, social and political — they have accepted a com-
mitment to support their schools, colleges, and universities gen-
erously. They are pledged to put the public schools first, for
here, and nowhere else, a program of progress touches every
man's child, regardless of race, economic status, and place of
birth. Here is laid the foundation on which all higher education
must be built.
Thousands of young people are choosing the promising careers
offered by North Carolina's wide-spread system of technical insti-
tutes and community colleges. These institutions are commended
for the excellent opportunities they have created and have the
full support and encouragement of the Democratic Party.
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 and community college educa-
tion.
State Senatori
156
)istricts-1966
157
158 NoKTii Carolina Manual
We endorse as a necessary objective the attainment and main-
tainment of at least the national average in per pupil expendi-
tures, the salaries of all professional public school personnel, and
other areas of school employees, all to the end that North Caro-
lina might retain more of the teachers it is training and to assure
the highest quality teachers and provide the best possible educa-
tion for the public school children of any State.
We support the proposition that all public school children of
our State, both urban and rural, receive equal benefits in regards
to school transportation.
The Democratic Party strongly believes that any person or
persons guilty of interfering with the normal operation of our
public schools and state supported colleges and universities should
be severely punished. We condemn these interruptions which
have been carried out by a small minority of our citizens.
We also believe that the school facilities should be available
for use during the summer months for kindergarten programs,
expanded opportunities in vocational education, and enriched cur-
ricula and remedial courses.
A strong educational system is the lodestone that attracts men,
women, and business to North Carolina, for through education
we develop both our human and natural resources.
ELECTIONS AND ELECTION LAA\ S
The Democratic Party of North Carolina fervently subscribes
to the cherished freedom of an election process that is an instru-
ment of expression for all the people, and rededicates itself to
those principles by which our party engendered the enviable
election process enjoyed in our State.
We recognize the contribution of our election officials to the
continuance of an election process made operative without inter-
ference. The Democratic Party hereby pledges to consistently
select those individuals who will contribute to the further streng-
thening of that process through fair and impartial administration
of the election law.
We further commit our energies toward the accomplishment
of meaningful improvements in the election laws commensurate
with the progress made by the 19 67 General Assembly through
unanimous support of the Democratic leadership and the vigorous
endorsement of Governor Moore.
DkMOCKATIC Pl.AIKOKM If)!*
FISCAL AFFAIRS
North Carolina is iu excellent financial condition. The bonds
ot our State are rated AAA — the highest rating available to
state bonds. North Carolina's high and enviable rei)utation in
fiscal affairs is due to the fact that sound business principles and
fiscal integrity have been the basis of our State's fiscal policy for
well over sixty years.
However, as important as fiscal affairs are, the Democrats of
North Carolina believe that sound fiscal policies are but a means
to an end, and that end is the welfare and happiness of all our
people.
HFUITAGK AND CTTLTURE
Historically, North Carolina is blessed with a great heritage
that should be preserved for future generations. The North
Carolina Democratic Party has supported and will continue to
promote the preservation and restoration of historic sites and the
expansion of museum facilities so that its citizens and those
who visit the State may become better informed about its glorious
past. The North Carolina Symphony and the North Carolina
Museum of Art continue to attract national attention in their
programs for our people.
HIGHWAY SAFETY
North Carolina General Assemblies, with the forceful endorse-
ment of successive Democratic Governors, have laid sound foun-
dations on which to build model traffic safety programs. Today,
all affected State Departments, assisted by a Highway Safety Re-
search Center, are implementing a coordinated campaign against
death, injury, and property loss.
Last year, North Carolina's highway deaths showed a reduction
on the basis of total miles traveled. Scientific studies of the
contributing factors leading to these tragedies will certainly as-
sist all those directly concerned with the continuing effort to save
lives. The Democratic Party endorses these studies and the use of
every modern technique available to help reduce traffic fatalities.
Public support groups are earnestly requested to sustain these
efforts and the various women's organizations are commended for
their continuing and active participation in safety programs.
160 Noinii Cauoi.iiva Manii.m.
HIGHWAYS
All areas of North Carolina want and need highway and road
improvements.
From the East, to the Piedmont, and into the West, the State
needs more and better roads and hip;hways in order to serve the
continuing growth and expansion of all of Tar Heelia.
The Democratic Party pledges itself to support all efforts to
expand and improve the existing highway system.
We pledge road building programs that will provide a fair and
equitable system of highways in all areas of the State.
HIMAX RELATIONS
The North Carolina Democratic Party believes that society owes
to each citizen the opportunity to progress to the limit of his
individual ability, interests, and talents, and that each citizen
also has obligations and responsibilities to society.
The North Carolina Good Neighbor Council, now a statutory
agency, has increased its operational staff and expanded its ef-
forts in equal employment programs. We believe that much of
the progress made in recent years in human relations in our state
is in large measure the result of the work of the Council.
We commend the establishment of local Good Neighbor or
Human Relations Councils across the State to supplement the
work of the State Council, and we recommend further that these
councils and State and local governmental units encourage pro-
grams that will seek to eliminate slums and support programs
providing adequate housing and encourage education, training
and employment of all people.
LAHOU
We pledge our continued support for humane labor laws, safe
and healthful working conditions, just Workmen's Compensation,
and a fair and equitable Unemployment Insurance program.
We support laws guaranteeing employees the right to work
and employers the right to conduct their businesses under the
laws. We urge increased use of trade and industrial education
and ap])renticeship training programs to upgrade working skills
in order to prepare workers for the numerous employment op-
portunities constantly being created by modern technology
Democratic Platform 161
North Carolina is the only state in the Southeast with a State
Minimum Wage Law for the protection of workers, and for the
enactment of this law we commend the North Carolina Demo-
cratic General Assembly.
We recommend that women be given equal pay for equal work
and equal promotion for equal preparation.
We applaud North Carolina workers and North Carolina in-
dustry for their outstanding record in productivity and safety.
LAW AND ORDER
The Democratic Party has an abiding faith in the ability of
all our people to live together in peace and harmony, and to settle
any differences within the framework of established legal pro-
cedures. We pledge to protect the life and property of all our
citizens.
Rioters, looters, arsonists, those who individually intimidate
or in mass destroy property or harm persons, and those who in-
cite, encourage, or aid and abet in any way in the aforesaid vio-
lations of the law. must be apprehended, and placed on trial for
those intolerable offenses. Laws govern man, and no man has the
right to infringe on the rights of others, either through force or
intimidation. , .
The lives of people and their property must be protected and
those who would destroy or harm the same must be made to
realize that the criminal penalties are severe and that law en-
forcement personnel will do their duty in the face of any threat-
ened lawlessness.
We commend the law enforcement personnel in North Carolina
for loyal service, a high code of ethics, and improved skills. We
believe in upgrading the law enforcement profession, establishing
a statewide communications network linking all enforcement
agencies, and working with our young people to bolster respect
for law and order.
We believe our enforcement personnel must be trained pro-
fessionally and equipped to handle the job of maintaining order.
We believe local government must be supported fully and en-
couraged to take part in more effective programs for their en-
forcement personnel.
162 NoKTii Cakomna Manttal
Wo believe law breakers must be dealt with firmly and fairly.
Our judges and juries must act responsibly and impartially.
Equal justice rests in their hands.
Effectively maintaining law and order is more than preparing
enforcement personnel for riot control duty.
We strongly believe that effective law and order is a day-in and
day-out responsibility of all the people.
Our public schools must implement programs that will instill
more respect for law and order and at the same time teach moral
values to our young people.
We realize that we must eliminate conditions that breed vio-
lence and disorder. Violence is not the answer to improving a
situation.
We can and will give the leadership to meet the problems of
unrest. We will take a hard look at our environment and strive
diligently to eliminate the ills of society that create lawlessness
and crime.
MENTAL HEALTH
Recognizing mental illness, mental retardation, and alcoholism
as major causes of disability and suffering among North Carolina
citizens, we endorse North Carolina's programs to combat and
control by medical and other means these serious threats to the
well-being of our people.
The Democratic Party is proud of the progress in these fields.
We pledge our continued support to the North Carolina General
Assembly for its efforts in responding to the needs for increased
and improved mental health care, whose efforts are exemplified
by the appropriation of funds to establish three new Alcoholic
Rehabilitation Centers to serve the East, the Piedmont, and the
West.
We support and encourage stepped-up programs to aid mentally
handicapped children and adolescents with particular emphasis
on the following:
1. Extending our residential care of the mentally retarded to
include severely disabled retarded children over the age of
six years.
Democratic Platform 163
2. Development of new and expanded training programs to
train professional and non-professional workers with chil-
dren and adolescents.
3. Additional community resources for evaluation, treatment,
day care, and school programs for mentally and emotionally
handicapped children and adolescents.
We endorse the continuation and strengthening of the present
program of research and evaluation to uncover the causes of
mental disabilities and to continue to improve methods of treat-
ment and rehabilitation.
NATURAL RESOURCES
Next to its citizens, our State's natural resources are its greatest
asset. North Carolina is abundantly endowed with these God-
given resources, which exist to benefit man. We regard our nat-
ural resources as a sacred trust, realizing that not only should
this generation enjoy their benefits but that we should insure
that future generations be similarly privileged.
The Democratic Party will promote the continued conservation,
preservation and wise use of our forests, waters, and wildlife and
further the development of a statewide program of air and water
pollution control. We will also increase the opportunities for
more healthful outdoor recreational facilities.
PATRIOTISM •' '
The North Carolina Democratic Party, in humble recognition of
the unselfish and courageous efforts of those who have served
this State and Nation so gallantly in time of peril, hereby ex-
presses appreciation for their service.
We believe that every school child should be informed of his
heritage as an American and of the great opportunities in his
country and state. We believe that increased emphasis should
be placed on patriotism and love of our country. We encourage
the study of history as it reports events concerning the defense
of freedom. We wholeheartedly recommend the placing of a
United States flag and a North Carolina flag in each school in our
State to reflect the loyal devotion of Tar Heel citizens to our
Democratic principles.
164 NoKTii Carolina Manual
We oppose draft card burning, interference with the proper
activities of our educational institutions by students or outsiders,
refusal to serve our country when needed, and expression of dis-
loyalty to State or Nation.
We support and applaud the efforts of those North Carolinians
now serving in the armed forces of the United States and the
North Carolina National Guard, and we are eternally grateful
to those fine Americans, who have given the last full measure of
devotion. We memorialize these men and express sorrow to
their families.
PUBLIC HEALTH
North Carolina has pioneered in the field of public health and
the Democratic Party advocates continued improvement of public
health services through close cooperation of local. State and Fed-
eral agencies to insure adequate protection for all its people.
We must deal effectively with chronic diseases and environmental
health factors. We must continue educational activities in all
areas where such activities have proven to be effective health
measures.
We endorse more comprehensive programs for maternal and
child health. We support the program to eradicate those com-
municable diseases for which effective immunizing agents are
available, as well as the continued reduction of all acute com-
municable diseases.
Realizing that the health and well-being of our citizens is
related directly to their environment, it is our purpose to work to
assure that the homes of all North Carolinians, urban and rural,
are free of health hazards and are constructed and maintained
as to promote their health and well-being.
We commend the cooperative program between the State Health
Department and the State Department of Motor Vehicles to im-
prove the medical aspects of driver licensing to remove poten-
tially dangerous drivers with physical or mental conditions, and
for the Department's work in the area of alcohol in relation to
highway safety.
Democratic Platform 165
PUBIilO LIBRARIES
The Democratic Party pledges itself to promote increased State
financial support to public libraries and to reemphasize the public
library as a vital part of the total educational program of North
Carolina.
SENIOR CITIZENS
The Democratic Party says to each of North Carolina's senior
citizens that you are of vital importance to the economic, social
and cultural life of the State. We pledge continued support to
the agencies with responsibilities to senior citizens. We further
pledge to help revitalize the social and economic well-being of our
Senior Citizens by providing a wholesome environment for en-
riched living; to help prepare adults for increased enjoyment of
the years of later maturity; to help senior citizens enter these
years with good health, with a basis of economic security and an
opportunity to enjoy individual dignity; to build effective pro-
grams of education and recreation; to promote employment oppor-
tunities to plan ahead so that when the present generation reaches
the years of later maturity, they will be better adjusted to this
period of life for healthy and respectable living.
TAXATION
The Democratic Party will work diligently to prevent an in-
crease in State taxes. Our State 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 con-
tinually rate national attention.
We advocate continued emphasis on the businesslike, econom-
ical administration of government; a tax structure that equitably
distributes the cost of services required from government, and
extension, if economic conditions permit, of increased personal
exemptions approved by the 19 67 General Assembly to corre-
spond further with federal income tax exemptions.
VKTERANS
Our Party acknowledges the debt owed by the State to its
veterans and pledges its support to the continuance and further
166 North Carolina Manual
expansion of programs designed to help them in securing em-
ployment, educational opportunities, and medical benefits. We
will give continuing support to those agencies whose responsi-
bilities relate to veterans and the widows and orphans of veterans.
WELFARE
We will continue our interest in and support of public welfare,
with special emphasis on programs designed to help persons be-
come self-sufficient, contributing citizens. Recognizing that there
will always be in our society those needy persons too old to
work, too young to work, or too disabled to work, the Party sup-
ports programs of financial assistance designed to care for these
indigent citizens and to provide adequate medical services for
them.
The Democratic Party recognizes that the prevention and al-
leviation of poverty are legitimate concerns of government and
merit action not only by public welfare departments but by the
entire community.
Cooperative efforts at both the community and state level and
the translation of this cooperation into reality will effectively re-
duce poverty in North Carolina.
YOUTH
We recognize that each young person in the State is part of
the foundation on which to build both today and tomorrow. We
encourage youth to obtain the best possible education in order to
develop an appreciation for the better things of life and to pre-
pare for the fulfillment of their obligation as citizens. We en-
courage those who have dropped their formal education to re-
enroll or to enter a Community College or Technical Institute.
At present, more than 85 per cent of our population is within
commuting distance of our State's 50 Community Colleges.
We shall continue to instill in young people an appreciation of
good government, not only by example but by involving them in
government. Through continued encouragement, our Young Dem-
ocrats and Teen Dems are learning and practicing the fundamen-
tals of good government.
We recognize the achievements of our youth and reaffirm our
confidence in them.

NORTH CAROLINA REPUBLICAN STATE
PLATFORM 1968
NATIONAL, AFFAIRS
The present national Administration and indeed the Democrat
Party itself, is marked, among other things, by two extremely
dangerous trends: One, an ever-increasing unwarranted central-
ization 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 cli-
mate of freedom which has permitted each individual to develop
his maximum potential. We must move away from the deadening
influence of paternalism and return to policies which stimulate
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 welfare of all
its citizens at home.
Fiscal Intej»Tity:
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, James
T. Broyhill, and James C. Gardner to stem the tide of irresponsible
governmental spending. Our state needs more Republican Con-
gressmen to help organize the Congress and direct its fiscal poli-
cies into channels more in line with the thinking of the people
of North Carolina.
Section 14-B:
The freedom to obtain and retain employment is a basic human
right. We commend the vigorous efforts of our Republican con-
gressional leadership in the defense of and in their successful
support of the individual workman's pursuance of this right as
guaranteed by Section 14-B of the Taft-Hartley Act which permits
our State to retain its "Right to Work Law".
210
Republican Platfobm 211
Foreigfn Affairs t
The lack of leadership displayed by the current administration
in stemming Communist imperialism throughout the world, and
in particular in Southeast Asia, has brought our national prestige
to its lowest ebb. What our nation needs is Republican leadership
to let the interest and national safety of this country and the free
world be the foundation of our foreign policy and to support 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 Democrat Party in
the last 67 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.
PLTBLJC 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
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 Gov-
ernment in a free society.
We praise the dedication our teachers have shown under ad-
verse circumstances. North Carolina educational 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 pro-
viding.
A comparison of the educational history of Republican States
with that of Democrat States during the last 6 7 years points to
212 NoKTii Carolina Manual
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 67 years of Democrat rule.
The Republican Party favors a program of incentives and
teacher selection to attract and hold superior teachers. We pledge
a continuation of the efforts made by the entire Republican dele-
gation in the 1967 General Assembly to secure an adequate salary
for teachers. We propose to continue our efforts to strengthen
job security for those who teach our children by enacting genu-
ine teacher tenure legislation. We feel that this would remove
political pressures from the classroom.
Instructors 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.
Our Republican congressional leadership will continue to 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 with-
out federal control.
North Carolina Republicans, realizing the urgent need for more
and better public school buildings, propose that the State return
to the counties 15% of sales and use tax collections to be used
for this purpose. This program would eliminate expensive in-
terest payments on bonds and would return over 20 million dollars
annually to the counties. Within 10 years North Carolina would
have one of the finest school systems in the nation.
The Republican Party is committed 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 responsibili-
ties. We pledge ourselves to efficient administration, maximum
use of school facilities and elimination of waste in our educa-
tional system. We promise constant scrutiny of the entire edu-
cational system to the end that essentials be held in focus and
the goal of an educated citizenry be realized.
Republican Platform 213
HIGHER EDUCATION
The Republican Party favors continued expansion of our sys-
tem of higher education in keeping with the steady increase of
population and growing complexity of modern society.
We favor full utilization, expansion, and support for our fledg-
ling regional industrial and technical educational facilities. Our
citizens must have an opportunity to develop their potential with-
in their means.
Believing the Community College is a sound solution for those
who want the education 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 pro-
hibit the establishment of a community college without greater
state support.
We advocate allowing qualified state supported colleges and
universities in diverse sections of the state to offer masters
degrees and doctorates in education in order that teachers may
continue their work towards 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 believes that justice demands that the
governing boards of all institutions of higher education be selected
on a non-partisan basis.
LOCAL CONTROL OF EDUCATION
Republican members of the 19 69 General Assembly will con-
tinue to work for legislation insuring county and city control
over Boards of Education by direct vote of the people in non-
partisan elections at the time of the General Election.

GOVERNMENT TAXES AND SPENDING
Wherever a citizen of North Carolina turns he finds himself
faced with a tax: inheritance tax, license tax, franchise tax, in-
come tax, sales and use tax, excise tax, real property tax, personal
property tax, fuel tax, etc. (Then he must pay his federal
taxes.) The true taxpayer of North Carolina is clearly assuming
an evergrowing burden. To be sure, some of our tax money has
been used for the benefit of the citizens of this State whether they
be taxpayers or non-taxpayers. But the Republican Party of
North Carolina maintains that neither the taxpayer nor the non-
taxpaying citizen is receiving the maximum benefit from 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 have the maximum benefit from the expenditure
of these tax dollars for the citizens of this State. We maintain
that the tax burden on the average taxpayer can actually be de-
creased while the benefits to our citizens are increased.
We pledge ourselves to a realistic system of taxation with
scrupulous control and audit. We believe in full periodic public
disclosure of our State financial position. We insist upon public
control of expenditures. And to these ends our efforts will be
unflagging.
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 hiring.
However, we deplore the arbitrary and capricious methods by
which the present national administration has withheld or threat-
ened 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.
STATE GOV'ERNMENT ADMINISTRATION
In order to promote better state government we advocate:
1. The governor should have the power of veto as do all other
4 9 state governors and as does the president.
Rkpuislican Platform 215
2. State employees should be protected by civil service in order
to attract and hold capable persons.
3. A comptroller general should be appointed by the legislature
to oversee the budget and be responsible only to the legisla-
ture.
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 to study each individual
agency of the state with the prime purpose of determining
whether the combination or abolishment of an agency would
lead to a more effective use of pei'sonnel and money while
better serving our citizens.
6. Providing a check on the majority party by including at least
two members of the minority party on the membership of the
Advisory Budget Commission.
7. Laws to insure and encourage truly competitive bidding and
restrict "open-end contracts" in state purchasing.
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. A politically free Civil Service
System would eliminate political servitude as it now exists and
would allow State Employees to concentrate upon the productive
work of their office. The Republican Party has sponsored legis-
lation to accomplish this in every session of the legislature since
1961.

The Republican Party takes tlie ])()sition that no person, or
^roiii) of persons, has the ri,s;ht to deny people the access to meet-
ings ;i'i(i deliberations ol" any branch of their government.
We further believe that the citizens of this state have the ab-
solute and unciualified rij;ht to know all tlie facts concerning the
affairs of their government.
We oppose secret meetings of any Legislative Committee, Com-
mission, Board, or Administrative Department.
HOADS AND HKiHWAYS
A network of well located and well maintained highways is
essential to the well being of our state. We pledge ourselves to
achieve this goal by eliminating from state policy the considera-
tion of party or factional loyalty in the appointment of com-
missioners. We deplore the present policy of location and con-
struction priorities based on the support of the winning guber-
natorial candidate. The total state interest is not served by
sectional and political favoritism.
HIGHAVAY 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 delayed.
Above all, there should be vigorus and impartial law enforce-
ment to instill in law violators a healthy respect for the traffic
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 interference with
highway law enforcement and commits itself to a strict, impaitial
enforcement of our traffic laws.
Repxtblican Platform 219
JUDICIARY
The Democrat politicians have demonstrated hypocrisy and bad
faith by opposing Republican legislation designed to eliminate
the reprehensible practice of nominating Superior Court judges
by district while depriving the citizens of that district of free-
dom of choice by placing election on a statewide basis. The Re-
publican Party will continue to advocate open and uninhibited
election of these judges by the people of the district in which
they are to serve.
LAW AND ORDER
The foundation of any civilized society is a system of law and
order. If the foundation is poorly constructed, or allowed to de-
teriorate, the social structure collapses. The Republican Party
is irrevocably dedicated to an orderly society ruled by law with
justice for all citizens without the least regard to their race,
religion, political affiliation, or personal wealth.
Realizing that law exists and functions in an orderly fashion
only so long as it commands the respect of the citizens, we en-
dorse an unrelenting effort on the part of our General Assembly
to make certain that the rules which govern our conduct are
morally and socially acceptable. We commend to our citizens
their moral, financial, and physical support of our courts and law
enforcement agencies. We encourage them to disapprove, dis-
avow, and eliminate by vote those who have failed in the per-
formance of their important duties.
We insist that our law enforcement officials strictly resist
both organized and individual breaches of the public right. We
demand that our courts administer our laws uniformly and decree
punishment for violation in keeping with the circumstances of
the crime.
We deplore the advances of both flagrant and clandestine crime.
At all costs our streets must be safe for the law-abiding citizenry,
our persons and our property inviolable. In this respect we mark
well that the attraction of the forbidden fruits of crime seek out
those in high places as well as those in low and that gasoline
bombs, bullets, rocks, and bottles are colorblind and totally with-
out racial prejudice.
220 NoKTir Carolina Manttaf.
We advocate for the preservation and stn^igthenins of law and
order in this State (1) increased financing to the end that com-
petent personnel can be attracted to and retained by our law
enforcfMiient agencies and that those agencies can be equipped
to meet the public need; (2) an adequate staffing of law enforce-
ment agencies at all levels and personnel programs designed to
encourage personnel to look upon law enforcement as a career;
(3) an expanded and continuous training program for our law
enforcement personnel to assist them in the acquisition of skills
designed to enable them to fulfill their responsibilities.
Enforcement of the law is the primary means of combating the
immediate problem of protecting the rights of our citizens. Edu-
cation and training are long range solutions to the same problem
and are "preventive law enforcement" which will reduce many
of the causes of crime while making better and more responsible
citizens for the future. But the needs of the future should not
over-shadow the present demands for certain and equal justice
to restore the coufidence of our citizens in rule by law rather than
rule by force.
And, finally, we as individual citizens comprising the Republican
Party, re-dedicate ourselves to the assistance of our law enforce-
ment agencies, and encourage all other citizens of our State to
join us. We will be "involved" because we realize that those who
"don't want to become involved" in everyone's duty to assist in
law enforcement does by his or her silence aid and abet the forces
of violence and evil. Nor will we be deterred in our involvement
by the popularity of a cause which is thought to excuse today's
infraction. For should we do so we perceive that our concessions
of today are potential precedents for tomorrow's tragedy.
AGRICULTURE
The Republican Party has long held that minimal agricultural
diversification, low per capita incomes, and a declining rural
population have accentuated the plight of North Carolina agri-
culture.
We recognize the inevitable changes which will l)e reshaping
our farm economy through increased technology and mechaniza-
tion. Therefore, we recommend:
Republican Platform 221
A. Greatly expanded technical assistance to enable farmers to
face rapidly changing methods of production.
B. Basic research through experiment stations which will open
up new potentials in crop and livestock diversification.
C. Availability of reasonable long term capital with which to
finance needed mechanization.
Further we feel greater emphasis should be exerted through
all related state agencies to develop more processing and distribu-
tion of local agricultural products. 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 greatest single indictment against our
present Conservation and Development Department is the shock-
ingly low per capita income for the people of our state — 4 2nd
among the 50 states.
We submit this to be the most acute economic problem of our
state. Attracting industries which utilize comparatively unskilled
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.
LABOR
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 support the proposition that through free and honest elec-
tions the laboring people shall have an opportunity to determine
whether or not they desire to affiliate with a union. We believe,
however, that once they have elected to be represented by a union,
that bargaining representatives should be given every reasonable
and lawful opportunity to fulfill their interests through negotia-
tion with management.
222 NouTTi Carolina Manttai.
The Republican Party has by past action displayed it« abiding
desire to ensure that the working people of this State be fairly
compensated. We pledge ourselves to continuously legislate
minimum wage laws which are in keeping with the current cost of
living and reasonable expectations of our citizens.
We further believe that the present North Carolina unem-
ployment and workman's compensation laws are in need of study
and revision. We, therefore, propose that the 1969 General As-
sembly undertake such a study to properly determine equitable
and honorable workman's and unemployment compensation pro-
visions.
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 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 membership; and
that no monies be expended without the express will of the
majority of the membership.
INTERNAL WATER RESOURCES
The Republican Party of North Carolina believes the need for
conserving water is of such importance that water resources de-
velopment should be put on a par with agricultural and industrial
development. While water problems in the State have not yet
reached serious proportions, there are some developing areas
where 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 em-
phasis 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 planning for the
best use of the State's water resources in an orderly and rational
way.
Reptjblican Platform 223
HOME RULE
The Republican Party is alarmed by the increasing central-
ization of power in Raleigh and Washington. As an example,
more than one-half of the legislation enacted by the North Caro-
lina 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
hampered by an antiquated, out-moded state constitution adopted
in 1868 and cluttered with a hodge-podge of unrelated and con-
fusing amendments.
The Republican Party advocates the submission to the people
of a modern up to date constitution.
PUBLIC WELFARE
We recognize that 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 imperative
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 immediately
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 believes
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 re-
quiring irresponsible parents to maintain their children and re-
quiring adult children of sufficient income to maintain and support
their needy parents. The enforcement of these laws will relieve
taxpayers of this unwarranted burden.
224 North Cauof.ina Manual
rOMIMKRCIAL FISHERIES — SALT WATER RESOURCES
As this division of the North Carolina Department of Conserva-
tion and Development has functioned in the past, little construct-
ive 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-
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 Conserva-
tion and Development.
Boats are the machinery used by fishermen for making their
living. For the reason the farmer's plow is not taxed, the fisher-
man'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 as-
sumed by a duly constituted law enforcement agency of the State,
the North Carolina Waterway Patrol. The North Carolina Repub-
lican Party believes that, in this way, more effective and con-
structive practices can be established and that valuable contribu-
tions to the economics of the coastal areas of North Carolina can
be made. We, furthermore, believe that these accomplishments
will inure to the general benefit of all North Carolinians.
Once relieved of these two functions mentioned above, the Com-
mercial and Sports Fisheries Division of the North Carolina De-
partment of Conservation and Development should direct its ef-
forts toward the proper ob.iectives of conservation of basic brood
stocks of the State's fishery resources and the dev(>lopment of the
fishing and related industries.
Rna'UBLicAN Platform 2 25
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
areas regarding promotion, advertising, and capital improvements;
and we believe that a modern East-West highway is essential 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 Resources Com-
mission.
2. That the State inaugurate a politically free Waterway Patrol
to promote safe boating practices, and to provide assistance
and protection for the boating public; and that there be
established safety requirements and regulations for the
operation of high powered boats.
22 6 NouTiT Carolina Manttai.
;>. That the North Carolina Highway Depart ment 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.
INIiANn IjAKES ANT) RIVERS
The Republican Party recognizes the rights of all persons to
enjoy inland lakes and rivers. We also recognize the dangers and
problems involved when 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
Under the proper interpretation of the philosophy of govern-
ment of our forefathers which we seek to bring realization, we,
the Republican Party believe it to be fundamentally true that
the will of the majority ought to prevail within the framework of
the Constitution. In the proper exercise of that will, however,
a proper regard must be used to safeguard the rights of minor-
ities — whose members are entitled to equal and full citizenship
of this state, and to the rights and freedom of choices of the indi-
vidual citizen.
ELE( TION LAWS
The people of our state are entitled to have honest elections.
If the people ore to have honest elections, it will be as a result of
reforms in election laws initiated by the Republican Party. After
67 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. The recodification of the elec-
tion laws by the 1967 (Jeneral Assembly, did little more than
renumber the sections and incorporate therein the same ine(iui-
ties that have betm the basis for many disputes and investigations
by the State Hoard of Klcctions.
RraurBLiCAN Platform 227
As each session of the Democrat controlled legislature passes
with only token changes in the election laws, it becomes more
and more apparent to the people of this 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
biennial failure to correct the many faults of its election laws.
It circumvents any action to prevent ballot box abuses and ab-
sentee ballot irregularities. 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 con-
cern for truly representative government.
The Republican Party advocates:
1. A State Board of Elections composed of five members, two
of which would be appointed from the recommendations of the
chairmen of the State executive committees of the two major
political parties, and the fifth member to be named by the four
duly appointed members.
2. Compulsory reregistration with the implementation of the
loose leaf registration system, and in addition require each regis-
trant to sign his name when registering to vote for handwriting
comparison. A transfer of names from registration books to
cards without a reregistration of all persons in no way purges the
registry of ineligibles.
3. The mandatory appointment of precinct election officials by
the County Boards of Election from those persons recommended
to such boards by the chairmen of the county executive commit-
tee of each political party in each county.
4. The repeal of the civilian absentee ballot law. The altera-
tions in the absence of ballot laws grudgingly adopted by the
Democrat 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 sec-
tion applying to civilian absentee voting.
5. The vesting of authority in the State Board of Elections to
issue bills of indictment on information and belief for violations
2 28 NoKTTT Cakoi.tna Manual
of nny of the provisions of the election laws, returnable to the
SuptM-ior Court in the County in which the offense was coniinitted.
This would provide some authority for the State Board of Elec-
tions to indict persons for violation of the election laws when
such violation is discovered from investigation conducted by said
Board.
6. Requiring the voter to sign a poll book before voting. This
use in conjunction with the requirement of having the voter to
sign his name when registering to vote, would be very helpful in
preventing illegal voting, by handwriting comparison.
7. Repeal of the law passed by the Democrat controlled Gen-
eral Assembly providing for certain members of the General As-
sembly to file for a numbered seat in seeking election to this body.
This is designed to defeat minority groups.
8. The more widespread use of voting machines with the State
sharing the cost. Voting machines would obviously result in more
honest and efficient elections, eliminating the stuffed ballot boxes,
false bottomed ballot boxes, marked ballots and similar frauds.
9. That Federal employees be prohibited from serving as elec-
tion officials.
The Republican Party endorses these and any improvement to
the election laws which would provide more honest and free elec-
tions. 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.
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 emergence of
a healthy, competitive, and active two-party system of govern-
ment. Your vote for Republican candidates, dedicated to these
our i)rinciples of good government, will speed the advent of
govcnnnent by the people, and for the pe{)i)le.

MARTIN
Martin County was formed in 1774 from Halifax and Tyrrell. Was named in honor
of Josiah Martin, the last royal Kovernor of North Carolina. It is probable that this
name would have been changed like those of Dobbs and Tryon, but for the popularity
of Alexander Martin, who was Governor in 17S2 and again in 1790.

WAKE
Wake County was formed in 1771 from Johnston, Cumberland, and Orange. Was
named in honor of Governor Tryon's wife, whose maiden name was Margaret Wake.
Some historians say that the county was named for "Ester Wake," the popular sister
of Tryon's wife, but there is no reason to suppose that any such person ever existed.
She is purely a creature of the imagination.
