PREFACE

The North Carolina Manual is issued by the Secretary of State
to furnish information about the State, its government, governmental
agencies, institutions and poitical subdivisions of the State of North
Carolina. Many additional features have been included in the 1943
edition which it is hoped will make the manual of greater reference
service and of increased interest to those who consult it.

Since 1903, manuals of a similar character have been issued
biennially either by the Secretary of State, the North Carolina His-
torical Commission or the Legislative Reference Librarian. This is
the second one issued by the Secretary of State since the return of
this activity to the Department of State by an act of the 1939 General
Assembly. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the persons
who so promptly supplied information for this edition and special
acknowledgment is made to Richard S. Jones, Director of Publica-
tions in this Department, and his assistants who compiled the data
for the volume under my supervision.

The North Carolina Manual of 1943 is presented with the hope that
it will prove useful, interesting and informative.

Senate S7

17. The Committee on Engrossed Bills shall examine all bills,
amendments, and resolutions before they go out of the possession of
the Senate, and make a report when they find them correctly en-
grossed: Provided, that when a bill is typewritten and has no inter-
lineations therein, and has passed the Senate without amendment, it
shall be sent to the House without engrossment, unless otherwise
ordered.

18. The Committee on Appropriations shall carefully examine all
bills and resolutions appropriating or paying any moneys out of the
State Treasury, except bills creating or increasing salaries, which
shall be referred to the proper committee: Provided, said committee
shall report to the Appropriations Committee the amount allowed, and
keep an accurate record of the same and report to the Senate from
time to time. All bills introduced in the Senate providing for bond
issues, levying taxes, or in any manner affecting the taxing power
of the State or any subdivision thereof, shall, before being considered
by the Senate, be referred to the Committee on Finance, and bills
referred to other committees carrying any of the provisions
herein mentioned shall be re-referred to the Senate as being bills to
be considered by the Finance Committee before proper action may
be taken by the Senate.

19. Every report of the committee upon a bill or resolution which
shall not be considered at the time of making the same, or laid on
the table by a vote of the Senate, shall stand upon the general orders
with the bill or resolution; and the report of the committee shall
show that a majority of the committee were present and voted.

On General Orders and Special Orders

20. Any bill or other matter may be made a special order for a
particular day or hour by a vote of the majority of the Senators
voting, and if it shall not be completed on that day, it shall be re-
turned to its place on the Calendar, unless it shall be made a special
order for another day; and when a special order is under considera-
tion it shall take precedence of any special order or subsequent order
for the day, but such subsequent order may be taken up immediately
after the previous special order has been disposed of.

21. Every bill shall receive three readings previous to its being
passed, and the President shall give notice at each whether it be the
first, second, or third. After the first reading, unless a motion

88 Senate

shall be made by some Senator, it shall be the duty of the President
to refer the subject-matter to an appropriate committee. No bill shall
be amended until it shall have been twice read.

Proceedings When There Is Not a Quorum Voting

22. If, on taking the question on a bill, it shall appear that a
constitutional quorum is not present, or if the bill require a vote
of a certain proportion of all the Senators to pass it, and it appears
that such number is not present, the bill shall be again read and the
question taken thereon; if the bill fail a second time for the want
of the necessary number being present and voting, the bill shall not
be finally lost, but shall be returned to the Calendar in its proper
order.

23. When a question is before the Senate no motion shall be
received except those herein specified, which motions shall have
precedence as follows, viz.:

(1) For an adjournment.

(2) To lay on the table.

(3) For the previous question.

(4) To postpone indefinitely.

(5) To postpone to a certain day.

(6) To commit to a standing committee.

(7) To commit to a select committee.

(8) To amend.

(9) To substitute.

24. The previous question shall be as follows: "Shall the main
question be now put?" and until it is decided shall preclude all
amendments and debate. If this question shall be decided in the
affirmative, the "main question" shall be on the passage of the bill,
resolution, or other matter under consideration; but when amend-
ments are pending, the question shall be taken up on such amend-
ments, in their inverse order, without further debate or amend-
ment: Provided, that no one shall move the previous question except
the member submitting the report on the bill or other matter under
consideration, and the member introducing the bill or other matter
under consideration, or the member in charge of the measure, who
shall be designated by the chairman of the committee reporting the
same to the Senate at the time the bill or other matter under con-
sideration is reported to the Senate or taken up for consideration.

adjourn shall not follow a motion to adjourn until debate or some
other business of the House has intervened.

thirds vote. But unless such vote has been taken by a call of the yeas
and nays, any member may move to reconsider.

30. When the reading of a paper is called for, which has been
read in the House, and the same is objected to by any member, it
shall be determined by a vote of the House.

31. Petitions, memorials, and other papers addressed to the House

ing the House while it is in session, and shall continue so uncovered

point of order being raised and sustained by the Chair, such measure
shall be laid upon the table, and shall not be taken therefrom except
by a vote of two-thirds of the elected membership of the House;
Provided, no local bill shall be held by the Chair as embodying the
provisions or being identical with any state-wide measure which
has been laid upon the table, or failed to pass any of its readings.

42a. A motion to table an amendment sent up from the floor shall
not be construed as a motion to table the principal bill or any other
amendment which has been offered thereto, and if such motion is
carried, only the amendment shall lie upon the table.

42b. When a member desires to interrupt a member having the
floor he shall first obtain recognition by the Chair and permission of
the member occupying the floor, and when so recognized and such per-
mission is obtained he may propound a question to the member occu-

Rules and Standing Committees 1 L5

on a separate paper as the same shall be agreed to by the committee,
and so reported to the House. After report, the bill shall again be sub-
ject to be debated and amended by sections before a question on its

46. The rules of procedure in the House shall be observed in a
Committee of the Whole House, so far as they may be applicable,
except the rule limiting the time of speaking and the previous
question.

47. In a Committee of the Whole House a motion that the com-
mittee rise shall always be in order, except when a member is

48. Every bill shall be introduced by motion for suspension of the
rules, or by order of the House, or ou the report of a committee,

56. On the point of no quorum being raised, the doors shall be
closed and there shall be a call of the House, and upon a call of the
House the names of the members shall be called over by the Clerk
and the absentees noted, after which the names of the absentees
shall again be called over. Those for whom no excuse or sufficient
excuses are made may, by order of those present, if fifteen in num-
ber, be taken into custody as they appear, or may be sent for and
taken into custody wherever to be found by special messenger ap-
pointed for that purpose.

Previous Question

57. The previous question shall be as follows: "Shall the main
question be now put?" and, until it is decided, shall preclude all
amendments and debate. If this question shall be decided in the
affirmative, the "main question" shall be on the passage of the bill,
resolution, or other matter under consideration; but when amend-
ments are pending, the question shall be taken upon such amend-
ments, in inverse order, without further debate or amendment. If
such question be decided in the negative, the main question shall be
considered as remaining under debate: Provided, that no one shall
move the previous question except the member submitting the report
on the bill or other matter under consideration, and the member
introducing the bill or other matter under consideration, or the mem-
ber in charge of the measure, who shall be designated by the chair-
man of the committee reporting the same to the House at the time
the bill or other matter under consideration is reported to the House
or taken up for consideration.

When a motion for the previous question is made, and pending the
second thereto by a majority, debate shall cease; but if any member
obtains the floor, he may move to lay the matter under consideration
on the table, or move an adjournment, and when both or either of
these motions are pending the question shall stand:

(1) Previous question.

(2) To adjourn.

(3) To lay on the table.

And then upon the main question, or amendments, or the motion
to postpone indefinitely, postpone to a day certain, to commit, or

Rules and Standing Committees 117

amend, in the order of their precedence, until the main question is
reached or disposed of; but after the previous question has been
called by a majority, no motion, or amendment, or debate shall be in
order.

All motions below the motions to lay on the table must be made
prior to a motion for the previous question; but, pending and not
after the second therefor, by the majority of the House, a motion to
adjourn or lay on the table, or both, are in order. This constitutes
the precedence of the motions to adjourn and lay on the table over
other motions, in Rule 25.

Motions stand as follows in order of precedence in Rule 26:

Previous question.

Adjourn.

Lay on the table.

Postpone definitely.

To commit or amend.

When the previous question is called, all motions below it fall,
unless made prior to the call, and all motions above it fall after its
second by a majority required. Pending the second, the motions to
adjourn and lay on the table are in order, but not after a second.
When in order and every motion is before the House, the question
stands as follows:

Previous question.

Adjourn.

Lay on the table.

Postpone indefinitely.

Postpone definitely.

To commit.

Amendment to amendment.

Amendment.

Substitute.

Bill.

The previous question covers all other motions when seconded by
a majority of the House, and proceeds by regular graduation to the
main question, without debate, amendment, or motion, until such
question is reached or disposed of.

58. All committees, other than the Committee on Appropriations,
when favorably reporting any bill which carries an appropriation

1 1 s House of Representatives

from the State, shall indicate same in the report, and said bill shall
be re-referred to the Committee on Appropriations for a further
report before being acted upon by the House. All committees, other
than the Committee on Finance, when favorably reporting any bill
which in any way or manner raises revenue or levies a tax or
authorizes the issue of bonds or notes, whether public, public-local, or
private, shall indicate same in the report, and said bill shall be re-
referred to the Committee on Finance for a further report before
being acted upon by the House.

59. The Principal Clerk and the Sergeant-at-Arms may appoint,
with the approval of the Speaker, such assistants as may be neces-
sary to the efficient discharge of the duties of their various offices,
and one or more of whom may be assigned by the Speaker from the
Principal Clerk's office to the office of the Attorney General for the
purpose of drafting bills.

The office of Engrossing Clerk is hereby abolished as an elective
office, and the duties and responsibilities of that office are hereby
devolved upon the Principal Clerk.

60. The Speaker may appoint a Clerk to the Speaker, and he may
also appoint ten pages to wait upon the sessions of the House, and
when the pressure of business may require, he may appoint five
additional pages.

61. The Chairman of each of the following committees: Agricul-
ture, Appropriations, Banks and Banking, Congressional Districts,
Conservation and Development, Constitutional Amendments, Coun-
ties, Cities and Towns, Courts and Judicial Districts, Education, Elec-
tions and Election Laws, Finance, Higher Education, Institutions for
the Blind, Insurance, Judiciary No. 1, Judiciary No. 2, Manufacture
and Labor, Propositions and Grievances, Public Utilities, Public
Welfare, Recodification, Roads, Rules, Salaries and Fees, Senatorial
Districts, and Unemployment Compensation, may each appoint a clerk
to the said committee. All committee Clerks heretofore provided for
are to be appointed by and with the approval of the Speaker. With
the exception of the Clerks appointed to Appropriations and Finance,
the Clerks to all the other above-named committees, when not on
duty with their specific committee, shall report to and be under the
supervision of the Principal Clerk of the House for assignment to
special duty with other committees and to serve the convenience of
the members of the House.

Riles and Standing Committees 119

61-a. The Chairman of all committees shall notify, or cause to be
notified, the first named introducer on such bills as are set for
hearing before their respective committees, the date, time and place
of such hearing.

62. That no clerk, laborer, or other person employed or appointed
under Rules 59, 60, and 61 hereof shall receive during such employ-
ment, appointment, or service any compensation from any depart-
ment of the State Government, or from any other source, and there
shall not be voted, paid, or awarded any additional pay, bonus or
gratuity to any of them, but said persons shall receive only the
pay for such duties and services as now provided by law. When the
House is not in session the pages shall be under the supervision of
the Principal Clerk.

63. The chairman and five other members of any committee shall
constitute a quorum of said committee for the transaction of business.

64. The Committee on the Journal shall examine daily the Journal
of the House before the hour of convening, and report after the
opening of the House whether or not the proceedings of the previous
day have been correctly recorded.

65. When a bill shall be reported Ivy a committee with a recom-
mendation that it be not passed, but accompanied by a minority
report, the question before the House shall be "The adoption of the
minority report," and if failing to be adopted by a two-thirds vote,
the bill shall be placed upon the unfavorable calendar. Such minority
report shall be signed by at least three members of the committee
who were present when the bill was considered in committee: Pro-
vided, however, that where a minority report is filed the proponents
and opponents of the question presented thereby shall be allowed
not to exceed ten minutes on each side to explain the question:
Provided, further, that by a majority vote the time may be extended
for a discussion of the minority report and on the merits of the bill.
In the event there is an unfavorable report with no minority report
accompanying it, the bill shall be placed upon the unfavorable calen-
dar. To take a bill from the unfavorable calendar, a two-thirds vote
shall be necessary.

65a. A bill from the unfavorable calendar shall not be debatable,
but the movant may make a brief and concise statement of the rea-
sons for the motion before making the motion, taking not more than
five minutes.

120 House of Representatives

66. Whenever a public bill is introduced a carbon copy thereof
shall accompany the bill. The Reading Clerk shall stamp the copy
with the number stamped upon the original bill. Such copy shall be
daily delivered to the joint committee hereinafter provided for. The
Principal Clerk shall deliver the carbon copy of the bill designated
to be printed, as hereinafter provided for, to the Public Printer and
cause four hundred copies thereof to be printed. On the morning
following the delivery of the printed copies, the Chief Clerk shall
cause the chief page to have one copy thereof put upon the desk
of each member and shall retain the other printed copies in his office.

PLATFORM ADOPTED AT STATE DEMOCRATIC

CONVENTION HELD IN RALEIGH, NORTH

CAROLINA, FRIDAY, MAY 22, 1942

We meet today in the shadow of a supreme national peril. Our
country is at war — a war forced on us by the calculated treachery and
the long gathering ambitions of nations that would conquer, loot
and enslave the world. The forces leagued against us are barbarous
and powerful. They make war with a medieval immorality that knows
neither honor nor pity and that spurns decency as a sign of decadence.
They have the formidable strength of long preparations and desperate
ambitions.

This is the crucial test of our long history. All that we have and
are is at stake. Our independence, our democratic institutions, our
free way of life, our legacies out of the past, our bequests to posterity
— all are in mortal danger. Already the tides of war are washing
our shores. Already American sailors and soldiers are fighting and
dying on the seven seas and on virtually all of the continents of the
embattled globe. In saving herself, America will save the world from
unspeakable degradation. Her defeat would extinguish the light of
hope for bondmen and freemen everywhere.

At this solemn moment in the life of the republic we meet as
North Carolina Democrats. We owe to the people an accounting for
the conduct of the offices which have been entrusted to the Demo-
cratic party. We owe to the people a restatement of the faith that is
in us and of the policies that we will pursue. The open and orderly
processes of self-government must continue even in war. We offer
that accounting and make that restatement in a soberness of thought
and word befitting the grave times.

This convention unreservedly and enthusiastically endorses the
administration which President Roosevelt has given to the nation's
affairs, domestic and foreign. We particularly approve and applaud
his wise and effective handling of the foreign and defense policies
since the last convention of the Democratic party of North Carolina.

President Roosevelt never had any illusions about the threat which
the Axis powers offered to the safety and to the independence of the
United States. He appraised at true value the enormous preparations
which they had made for aggressive warfare. From the moment of
France's fall, he foresaw that they would extend their operations
to this hemisphere and seek through open attack or economic pressure

[144]

Democratic Platform 145

to conquer or to impoverish this country. With extraordinary wisdom
and unusual fixity of purpose, he set himself to the task of strengthen-
ing the republic's defenses as rapidly as possible and of aiding those
nations upon whom we had to depend for allies if and when war broke
on our land.

The amendment of the Neutrality Act, the Lease-Lend policy, the
Selective Service Act, the huge outlays of our army and navy, the
acquisition and development of outlying air and naval bases — all were
essential parts of the same large program for the defense of this
country.

These measures had to be taken in the face of a determined and
even desperate opposition that professed to find no menace to the
United States in the conquering march of Hitlerism and that preached
mischievous doctrines of appeasement and isolationism. Some of
these obstructive elements went to indefensible lengths in their
attempts to thwart the President. A less resolute man might have
faltered. A leader less certain of his diagnosis of the situation might
have equivocated. Franklin D. Roosevelt neither faltered nor equivo-
cated. He aroused the people with speeches of incomparable eloquence.
He drove unwaveringly and effectively ahead with his program.

Pearl Harbor was a serious disaster accomplished through the most
shameless treachery ever perpetrated by one nation against another.
But it would have been for this nation a fatal disaster if we had not
had in the White House during the past ten years a President saga-
cious enough to see the mounting peril and courageous enough to
pursue a bold course in preparing for it.

The wisdom of the President's defense program has been fully
vindicated by events. Britain still survives as a formidable belligerent
and a stout-hearted ally and Russia continues to occupy the attention
of Hitler's mighty armies largely because our Lease-Lend policy has
enabled this country to provide them with vital supplies. The most
powerful American navy that ever flew the Stars and Stripes now
ranges the seas and it is being steadily strengthened by the addition
of new warships. The Selective Service Act enabled us to enter this
war with the largest peace-time army in the nation's history. Our
airplane production has already given to the United Nations
equality in the air and the day is not far distant when parity will
grow into increasingly overwhelming supremacy.

The peril is still great. Although much has been done, much

146 Democratic Platform

remains to be done. President Roosevelt has set for this country the
largest production task which any nation has ever undertaken in all
recorded history. Upon the output of our factories no less than upon
the courage of our soldiers and sailors depend the safety of the
republic and the salvation of civilization. This war can be won only
through the unstinted sacrifices and the maximum exertions of the
American people. The billions which we must expend and the priva-
tions which we must endure are small prices to pay for our
independence.

To the winning of this war everything must be subordinated. But
winning the war will not be enough. Our nation must take the lead
in fashioning an enduring peace based on economic and political jus-
tice and preserved by the concerted efforts of peace-loving countries.

A quarter of a century ago a distinguished Democratic President
had the vision of a world organized for peace and freed from the
constant threat of war. He strove mightily to translate his vision
into an effective instrument of international peace. His heroic efforts
failed because the American people heeded the Republican counsels of
isolationism. If he had prevailed, the world would have been spared
its present agonies and perils.

We salute the memory of Woodrow Wilson. We renew our faith
in his vision. We rejoice that another Democratic President will have
the opportunity to make that vision real in the life of the world.

Today we dedicate the Democratic party of North Carolina anew to
the service of the nation. To the President of the United States, we
send our affectionate greetings and our assurances of deep respect and
of unflagging loyalty. In no state has the support of his foreign and
defense policies been more enthusiastic or more unwavering. North
Carolina has never failed the republic in a time of danger. North
Carolina will not fail today. There will be no stinting of our sacrifices,
no grudging of our resources.

North Carolina sons have already fallen in the nation's service.
We grieve for them. Other North Carolinians are serving in all of
the armed services of the nation and on all of the battlefronts of
this world-girdling conflict. They will add new luster to North
Carolina's glory. We pledge to them our solemn determination to
play well the parts which are ours in this conflict.

Honorable J. Melville Broughton came into the Governorship of
North Carolina in succession to a long and unbroken line of uncom-
monly able leaders whom the Democratic party had given to the

Democratic Platform 147

state. They had set a high and exacting standard of public service.
They had led North Carolina out of the poverty and restricted oppor-
tunities at the turn of the century into the larger life of the present.

Governor Broughton has lived up to the exalted standard set
by those who went before him. Building on the progress which they
brought to the state, he has added new progress. He has proven that
government can be both humane in its sympathies and business-like
in its methods. His peculiarly intimate and accurate understanding
of the state and its needs has enabled him to escape all sectionalism
in thought and act and to promote the well-rounded advancement of
the entire state. He has established his place among the great Gov-
ernors of North Carolina.

During the Broughton Administration the services of the state
government to the people have been intensified and enlarged. Today
the State of North Carolina is doing more to promote the happiness
and prosperity of its citizens than it has ever done at any time in its
history.

These expansions in the state's activities and usefulness have
been achieved without laying new tax or debt burdens on the people
or without resort to imprudent fiscal practices. In the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1941, the State of North Carolina retired, or provided
funds to retire, eight million dollars of its debt. The 1941 General
Assembly lifted the last remnant of the sales tax from the dinner
table of the citizen. The budget has been kept annually balanced with
a sizable surplus added for good measure. The state will end the
current fiscal year with the largest cash surplus in its history.

In the field of public education the achievements of the Broughton
Administration have been particularly noteworthy. The 1941 General
Assembly made provision for the gradual introduction of a twelve-
year program for the public schools, increased the appropriation for
vocational education, authorized significant adjustments in the
teacher salary schedule and enacted legislation designed to insure
the tenure of the competent teacher. During the next fiscal year the
State of North Carolina will expend more than $30,000,000 on its
public school system.

The glory of our party, beginning with the administration of
Governor Aycock in the new era following Fusion government and
continuing through the leadership of all his successors, is its devotion
to public education. We make the sacred pledge to continue this

148 Democratic Platform

advance by making provision for a nine months school for every
child in the state.

The 1941 General Assembly established a retirement system for
all state employees, including the public school teachers. This system
has been set up on the most generous basis, consistent with sound-
ness. It is now in full and efficient operation. In providing a retire-
ment plan for its faithful employees, North Carolina has taken her
place among the most enlightened and progressive states of the
Union.

The last General Assembly submitted an amendment to the
Constitution which would consolidate the various agencies which
administer the public school system by the establishment of one
central Board of Education. We heartily recommend and endorse
this amendment.

The North Carolina highway system is a huge enterprise, knitting
the state together into one vast social and economic whole and
serving the convenience and the profit of all. We commend the
competent direction which it has received during the present
administration and particularly the resorcefulness which the State
Highway and Public Works Commission has shown in meeting the
extraordinary problems created by the national emergency. Its
prompt and whole-hearted cooperation with the federal government
in providing road facilities for camps and other defense projects is
deserving of the warmest praise.

The health of the people is a proper and intimate concern of the
state. We record with pride the fact that today North Carolina has
a health program which is attracting nation-wide attention and
approbation and a health administration which is alert, progressive
and efficient.

Agriculture is the very backbone of the economic life of North
Carolina. It fixes the standard of living for a majority of our
citizens. The 1941 General Assembly enacted legislation designed to
better agriculture through more rigid inspections, improved market-
ing arrangements, expanded agricultural research and the further
development of the livestock industry. We endorse this legislation
and the solicitous interest and the fruitful leadership which the
Broughton Administration has brought to bear on the farm problems
and opportunities of the state.

Especially deserving of praise is the rural electrification program
which is adding so much to the comfort and convenience of farm

Democratic Platform 149

life in North Carolina. Despite the obstacles presented by the
national emergency, this program has gone steadily ahead during
the last eighteen months, establishing a record of expansion unsur-
passed in any other state of this republic. We commend these achieve-
ments of the Broughton Administration and we pledge the continued
support of the Democratic party to this beneficent program until
electricity has been made accessible to every farm in this state.

We recount with unusual pride the significant fact that defense
production in North Carolina has not been interrupted or even
adversely affected by any labor controversy. The strikes in the non-
defense enterprises have been relatively few in number and brief in
duration. This record in harmonious relationships between manage-
ment and labor is without a parallel in any state of the Union. It is all
more noteworthy because it was established at a time of unprece-
dented industrial expansion and employment when sharp changes in
living costs were creating wage problems. We congratulate the
employers and employees on the patriotism and fair-mindedness
which they have exhibited in composing their differences. We com-
mend the Broughton Administration for the leadership which it has
shown in establishing such a record for North Carolina. It has
proven that through a statesmanlike state policy it is possible to
reconcile the legitimate rights of labor and the legitimate interests
of industry with the good order of the state and the production
needs of the nation.

We commend unconditionally the firm and direct measures taken
by the Broughton Administration in dealing with state employees
who committed breaches of trust. The guilty parties were brought to
swift and stern but fully merited justice. When employees of a
Democratic administration misapply public funds or connive at mis-
appropriations, they betray the Democratic party no less than the
state. The Democratic party will continue to insist upon the highest
standards of official fidelity and upon the speedy and appropriate
punishment of those who are guilty of official dishonesties or derelic-
tions.

At its last convention the Democratic party pledged its support to
generous state aid for public libraries. The 1941 General Assembly
fulfilled that promise by appropriating $100,000 for use in enlarging
and extending the public library facilities in the state. As a conse-
quence of this wise action, North Carolina is now assuming a position

150 Democratic Platform

of leadership among the states of the country in the provisions which
it makes for a larger library service to all of the people.

The first duty of an enlightened state is to preserve the public
peace and to insure equal and exact justice to all persons. We com-
mend the General Assembly for authorizing the establishment of the
State Guard and the Broughton Administration for effecting the
organization. The State Guard has already proven its value. It should
be provided with more adequate facilities and equipment. Mob law is
the very negation of justice. We applaud our law enforcement
agencies for their timely and courageous actions in averting mob
violence. We rejoice that the long no-lynching record of North Caro-
lina has not been sullied.

Some of the most useful activities of the state government are
not spectacular. They concern themselves with the honest and
capable performance of the multiplicity of day-to-day services, great
and small, which the state must render to its people. A judiciary
system must carry even-handed justice between citizen and citi-
zen and between state and citizen into all the communities
of the commonwealth. The industrial growth of the state must be
promoted. The tourist industry which means so much to so many
must be cultivated. A far-reaching program of public relief, touching
with kindness and helpfulness the lives of thousands, must be con-
tinued. Age-old problems of human frailty and waywardness must
be ameliorated. When local disasters such as forest fires prove too
much for local resources, the state must make haste with its
assistance.

These manifold duties, ramifying deep into the life of the people,
have been discharged with an efficiency which merits the most unre-
strained approval. Today North Carolina is enjoying not only pro-
gressive government, but is enjoying competent government as well.
Money taken from the people in taxes is being returned in helpful
services. North Carolina is commanding a nation-wide reputation as
one of the best governed states in the country.

We wish especially to take public note of the unusual capacity with
which the Broughton Administration has met the extraordinary
problems created by the national crisis. We endorse whole-heartedly
the Governor's stand for more adequate protection of our eastern
shores against submarine depredations, and we commend his action
in protesting any discrimination against the State of North Carolina
in the gasoline rationing. Every request by the federal government

Democratic Platform 151

for state cooperation has been promptly and fully granted. A very
comprehensive and efficient civilian defense organization has been
established and the state has been placed on a war footing.
Encouraged by the deep and eloquent interest exhibited by Governor
Broughton, the people of North Carolina have responded generously
to every appeal for every war cause. We commend the state govern-
ment for whole-hearted and effective cooperation which it has
extended local communities seeking the location of defense projects
in their regions.

This aggregate record in good government has been made possible
by the excellent cooperation between all of the branches of the state
government. All have worked together in a common desire and a
common effort to translate Democratic promise into governmental
performance and to give the people an efficient and responsive admin-
istration of their affairs. We commend the General Assembly for the
faithfulness with which it fulfilled all party pledges and for the
wisdom it revealed in meeting and solving the state's legislative
problems. We commend all of the other state officials for their compe-
tent performance of their duties.

These are unpredictable and sacrificial times. No person is wise
enough to know what new problems will face the state in the
uncertain months that lie ahead. At this critical juncture in the
life of the republic, the nation's necessities must take precedence
over every other consideration.

There are certain assurances, however, which the people are
entitled to receive and which we solemnly give:

1. Their state government will be operated in accord with the
soundest fiscal practices. The budget will be balanced and kept bal-
anced. The state's credit which is unexcelled will be preserved.

2. Present state taxes will not be increased. No new taxes will be
levied. We will not add to the inescapably heavy federal tax burdens
by imposing new state tax burdens.

3. All of the essential services of the state government will be
maintained at a high level of efficiency and honesty.

4. There will be no extraordinary expansion in the state's normal
activities and no substantial increase in the state's appropriations
until every probable emergency has been taken into account and
provided for.

152 Democratic Platform

5. The State of North Carolina will continue to promote agricul-
ture with wise legislation and intelligent and beneficial administra-
tion.

6. There will be no retrenchment at the expense of the quality of
the education which the state provides for its children. Whatever the
sacrifices of this emergency may be for state or for individual, they
must not express themselves in any curtailment of the educational
opportunities which we offer to our children. We must safeguard
North Carolina's future by the proper training of North Carolina's
children of today.

7. The state government will continue to cooperate whole-
heartedly and effectively with the federal government in every
activity that will contribute to the successful conduct of the war.

8. We accept the duties of the state administration in no spirit
of narrow partisanship. The responsibility of leadership is ours by
the mandate of the people and we cannot shift or shirk that responsi-
bility. But we invite the patriotic cooperation of the members of all
parties in meeting and mastering the problems that spring out of the
nation's dangers.

Above all, we promise the people of North Carolina that their state
government will meet the changing circumstances of these changing
times with a high sense of duty and with courage and patriotism.

cratic voters at the several precinct meetings or primary elections or
county conventions in mass, called by the County Executive Commit-
tee, as hereinafter provided for the nomination of candidates for
legislative, county and township offices. And said committee so
elected shall elect one of its members as Chairman, who shall pre-
side at all committee meetings. At least one woman shall be elected to
membership on each precinct executive committee. Each such com-
mittee shall have a vice chairman, and either the chairman or the
vice chairman shall be a woman.

Sec. 14. The Chairman of the several precinct committees shall
compose the County Executive Committee, which shall meet at the
same time and place as the County Convention first held in each
election year, and elect a Chairman who shall hold his office until his
successor shall be elected. Said County Executive Committee shall
immediately after the election of a Chairman, elect one or more Vice
Chairmen, the first of which shall be a woman, and if more than one
Vice Chairman, the order of their succession shall be designated,
and a Secretary. Said Chairman, Vice Chairman or Vice Chairmen,
or Secretary, need not be members of the County Executive Commit-
tee. If, for any reason there should occur any vacancy in the Chair-
manship of a County Executive Committee, by death, resignation, or
removal, or if such Chairman should be incapacitated or should fail
or refuse to act, then the Vice Chairman or Vice Chairmen, in their
order of succession, and thereafter the Secretary, shall, in such order
of succession, be vested with the full authority and power of the
Chairman until such time as said County Executive Committee has
met and duly elected a successor to such Chairman. A majority of
said Precinct Chairmen, in person or by proxy in the person of
some active Democrat of the Precinct in which an absent Chairman
resides, shall constitute a quorum. The County Executive Commit-

156 Plan of Organization

tee may appoint a central committee of five who shall act in its stead
when the County Executive Committee is not in session.

Sec. 14-A. Any County Chairman of a County Executive Committee,
who announces his candidacy for any elective office in the Primary,
shall immediately resign his office as Chairman and the same shall be
filled as hereinbefore provided.

Sec. 15. In case there shall be a failure on the part of any pre-
cinct to elect its Executive Committee for a period of thirty days, the
County Executive Committee shall appoint said committee from the
Democratic voters of said precinct.

Sec. 16. The State Democratic Executive Committee shall have
the power to fill all vacancies occurring in said committee; vacancies
occurring in Congressional, Judicial and Senatorial Committees shall
be filled by the Executive Committee of the county in which said
vacancy occurs; precinct committees shall fill all vacancies occurring
in their respective committee.

Delegates to Conventions — County and State

Sec. 17. The State Convention shall be composed of delegates
appointed by the several County Conventions. Each county in the
State shall be entitled to elect to the State Convention one delegate
and one alternate for every 150 Democratic votes and one delegate
and one alternate for fractions over 75 Democratic votes cast therein
for Governor at the last preceding gubernatorial election.

Sec. 18. All County Conventions shall be called to order by the
chairman of the Executive Committee of such county, and in his
absence, by any member of the Executive Committee who may be
present at the convention, and in case neither the chairman nor a
member of the Executive Committee is present, then by any delegate
to said convention, and he shall preside until a permanent chairman
is elected by the convention.

State Convention Rules

Sec. 19. A preliminary meeting of the delegates shall be held by
each Congressional District on the morning of the State Convention,
at rooms to be designated by the State Executive Committee, for the
purpose of selecting the following committees and officers of the
convention:

Plan of Organization 157

1. One member of the Committee on Credentials and Appeals.

2. One member of the Committee on Permanent Organization, Rules,

4. One district assistant secretary.

5. One member of the Committee on Resolutions and Platform.

6. Twelve members of the State Democratic Executive Committee.

7. One member for each county of the Congressional, Judicial, and

Sec. 20. Such delegates (or alternates of absent delegates) as may
be present at any Democratic Convention shall be allowed to cast the
whole vote to which their precinct or county may be entitled.

Sec. 21. In all conventions provided for by this plan, after a vote
is cast, there shall be no change in such vote until the final result of
the ballot shall be announced by the chairman of said convention.

Sec. 22. The chairman of the different county conventions shall
certify the list of delegates and alternates to the State Convention,
and a certified list of said delegates and alternates to the secretary of
the State Executive Committee.

Sec. 23. The secretary of the State Democratic Executive Commit-
tee shall make up a roll of all delegates and alternates from the sev-
eral counties and transmit the same to the chairman of the State
Convention.

Sec. 24. In all conventions a nomination may be made by any
majority, even though it be a fraction of a vote.

Sec. 25. In all State Conventions it shall be the duty of the dele-
gates from the several counties to choose one of their number chair-
man, whose name shall be reported to the president of such conven-
tion, and whose duty it shall be to cast the vote of his county as
directed, and the vote as announced by him shall be recorded unless
some delegate from that county shall challenge its accuracy, in which
event it shall be the duty of the president of the convention to cause
the roll of delegates from that county to be called, when the vote of
such county shall be tabulated and recorded according to the re-
sponse of its delegates; but in no event shall the vote of one county be
challenged by a delegate from another county.

158 Plan of Organization

nomination of candidates for house of representatives, county
and Township Officers in Counties Not Under Primary Law

Sec. 26. In all counties in which the selection of candidates for
members of the House of Representatives and county and township
offices is not provided for by law, nominations shall be made in the
following manner: The County Democratic Executive Committee, on
the day of the county convention hereinbefore provided for, shall
meet and set a date on which a county convention for the nomination
of candidates for such offices shall be held, and at such meeting said
Executive Committee shall determine upon a plan for nominating
such candidates and may select either of the following methods:

1. By precinct meetings.

2. By primary elections.

. 3. By county conventions (in mass).
Provided, that unless the said committee shall adopt one of the
three plans the first or precinct meeting plan shall be followed.

Rotation of State Senators in Districts Composed of More

Than One County

Sec. 26-A. That in all State Senatorial Districts composed of
more than one County, in which it has been the custom to concede
the right to nominate a Senator to one County of the district, by a
plan of rotation or otherwise, and in which such plan was followed in
the Primary Election of 1936, the same shall remain in full force and
effect until terminated as herein provided.

The Executive Committees of the several counties composing such
Senatorial District may hereafter adopt a plan for the nomination of
candidates for the State Senate by one or more counties composing
such district, but such plan shall not be effective until the Executive
Committee of each of the counties composing the district shall, by a
majority vote, approve such plan and file with the Chairman of the
State Executive Committee a copy of the resolution approving the
same. The agreement in any Senatorial district composed of only two
counties may be terminated by a majority vote of the County Execu-
tive Committee of any one of the counties and in districts of more
than two counties by a majority vote of each of the Executive Com-
mittees of at least two counties, provided that notice of the termina-
tion of such agreement must be filed with the Chairman of the State
Executive Committee at least 120 days in advance of the date of the

Plan of Organization 159

primary election at which the candidates for the General Assembly
are to be nominated. The Chairman of the State Executive Commit-
tee shall promptly notify the State Board of Elections of all such
agreements and of the termination thereof.

First Method — Precinct Meetings

Sec. 27. If at the meeting of the County Democratic Executive
Committee, as herein required, it shall be determined by a majority
of the full committee, proxies not counted, to nominate candidates
by delegates chosen at the precinct meeting, then the precinct meeting
shall be held under the following rules and regulations.

Sec. 28. At the meeting held in each precinct in pursuance to said
notice, delegates and alternates to represent it in the County Conven-
tion shall be elected from the body of the Democratic voters of the
precinct; and said delegates or alternates, or such of them as shall
attend the County Convention shall be entitled to vote the full Demo-
cratic strength of their precinct in the nomination of candidates and
upon all questions which may come before said County Convention.

If there is a failure to hold a precinct meeting in pursuance of
said notice, or if said meeting shall fail to elect delegates to represent
it in said convention, the precinct executive committee shall appoint
delegates and alternates from the Democratic voters of the precinct.

At every precinct meeting there shall, if requested, be a vote taken
for the different candidates for office whose names may be presented,
and the delegates shall vote in the County Convention of their
respective counties in accordance with this vote; that is to say, each
candidate shall receive in the County Convention that proportion of
the vote to which the precinct may be entitled which he received in
the precinct meeting, and the vote received by any candidate in the
precinct meeting shall not be changed unless by a two-thirds vote of
the delegates representing said candidates from said precinct. The
chairman or presiding officer and secretary of the precinct meeting
shall certify to the County Convention the vote received by each
candidate at the precinct meeting, together with the names of dele-
gates and alternates selected by said meeting.

Sec. 29. Each precinct shall be entitled to cast in the County
Convention one vote for every 25 Democratic votes, and one vote for
fractions over 12 Democratic votes cast by the precinct for Gov-
ernor at the last preceding gubernatorial election: Provided that

160 Plan of Organization

every precinct shall be entitled to cast at least one vote in the County
Convention, and each precinct may appoint as many delegates to
said convention as it may see fit, not exceeding three delegates and
three alternates for each vote to which said precinct may be entitled
in the County Convention.

Sec. 30. The Chairman of the Precinct Executive Committee shall
preside at all precinct meetings; but in the absence of the chairman
of said committee, any other member thereof may preside.

Sec. 31. The County Executive Committee shall have power to
make any rules with regard to holding precinct meetings which it
may deem proper, not inconsistent with the rules prescribed in this
plan; it shall be the duty of said committee to prepare and furnish
all forms and blanks needed in making the returns from said pre-
cinct meeting, and any reported challenges and appeals therefrom;
and it shall have the power to raise the funds necessary to pay the
expenses thereof.

Second Method — Primary Elections

Sec. 32. If at the meeting of the County Democratic Executive
Committee, provided for in this plan of organization, it shall be
determined by a majority of the full committee, proxies not counted,
to nominate candidates by direct primary election and select dele-
gates to the County Convention then the same shall be held under the
following rules and regulations:

Sec. 33. At all primary elections held under this plan the county
shall be the unit and the total vote cast throughout the county shall
control the nomination.

Sec. 34. At least five days preceding such primary election every
person desiring to become a candidate for any county, township, or
legislative office shall signify his intention, in writing, to the Chair-
man of the County Democratic Executive Committee, and at the same
time shall deposit such fee as the said chairman may determine to
be his pro rata part of the expense of printing and distributing proper
tickets; and every such person shall also subscribe to a pledge that he
will abide by the result of the primary election and support the suc-
cessful candidate or candidates chosen in said primary election.

Sec. 35. When a primary election under this plan shall be ordered,
notice thereof, giving the date and the various balloting places, and
the names of the persons appointed to hold the same, shall be pub-

Plan of Organization 161

lished in the Democratic press of said county and copies posted at
three places in each precinct or township, and such other notice given
as the County Executive Committee may think proper, which notice
shall not in any case be less than twenty days. In such primary elec-
tion the County Executive Committee shall designate the places where
voting shall be had, and they shall select, as far as practicable, the
places provided by law for holding the general State elections. They
may, however, select other places if the convenience of Democratic
voters justifies such change, but there shall be at least one voting
place in each precinct.

Sec. 36. For the purpose of holding such primary election, the
said committee shall appoint three well-known Democratic electors
of intelligence and reputation for honesty and fair dealing for each
precinct or other voting district in the county, one of whom shall be
the secretary and record the names of all the persons voting, who
shall conduct such election, receive the ballots, count them, declare
the result and make a written statement thereof. If any person
appointed to hold a primary election shall decline to serve, become
incapacitated, or become a candidate before said primary, the chair-
man of the Executive Committee of that township or precinct shall
have power to designate some qualified Democrat to fill such place;
and if the chairman of the committee shall not be present, then the
remaining poll-holders may designate some person to assist them in
holding the same, and such substituted person shall have the same
right and authority therein as if he had been originally appointed by
the County Executive Committee.

Sec. 37. The said poll-holders shall provide such boxes for the
reception of ballots as may be necessary, but there shall be separate
boxes for the following classes of candidates, to wit: Candidates for
General Assembly and all county offices in one box; all township
officers in one box; the Township Executive Committee in one box
and the delegates to the County Convention in one box. The hours
for holding such primary election shall be as follows: From 10 o'clock
a.m. to 5 o'clock p.m.; Provided, that the County Executive Commit-
tee may designate other hours within which said primary election
may held; but in no case shall the time for holding such election
be less than four hours.

Sec. 38. Any Democratic candidate who is voted for in said pri-
mary election may attend the same, in person or by representatives,
ii

162 Plan of Organization

and be present during the conduct of said election and counting the
vote. Every Democratic elector shall have the right to vote at his
proper polling place, and in case the vote of a man claiming to be a
Democratic elector is challenged on the ground that he is not qualified
as an elector, and will not be on election day, or is not a Democrat,
he shall not be denied the privilege of voting except by the judg-
ment of a majority of the poll-holders. Every challenge shall be
recorded, and any candidate or his representative dissatisfied with
the result shall have the right to appeal to the County Convention,
and the County Convention shall hear the same and allow or disallow
the vote, and shall amend the returns from that precinct in accord-
ance with its judgment.

Sec. 39. At the close of the voting it shall be the duty of the poll-
holders, in the presence of such candidates or their representatives
and any Democrat who wishes to attend, to proceed at once to count
the ballots and make a list of all persons voted for and the offices for
which they were voted, and the number of votes received by each, and
they shall sign such list and send the same immediately to the chair-
man of the County Executive Committee, who shall transmit the
same to the chairman of the County Convention. They shall give any
candidate or his representative, upon his request, a copy of the said
list, and they shall also give to the chairman of the County Executive
Committee a statement of the number of challenges allowed or
disallowed, and how said challenged voter voted or how he offered to
vote when challenged. They shall also preserve the list of voters or
poll-books, the tally-sheets, and the tickets until after the County
Convention.

Sec. 40. At the meeting of the County Convention following the
holding of such primary election, the said convention shall ascertain
and declare the result of the said primary election. All candidates
for county and legislative offices and all delegates and committeemen
receiving a majority of the votes case in such primary election shall
be declared the nominees of the party for said offices: Provided, that
at the time the primary election is called the County Executive Com-
mittee shall prescribe the rules and regulations for a second primary
election, if one shall be deemed necessary.

Sec. 41. It shall be the duty of the chairman of the County Demo-
cratic Executive Committee to prepare all tickets for county and
legislative offices, and distribute them. All names voted for in the

Plan of Organization HI:'.

same box shall be printed on one ticket, and the ballot shall be
checked with a cross mark opposite the name or names the elector
wishes to vote for, or the names which he does not wish to vote for
shall be stricken out. If more names are voted for than is proper
for any office, the said ticket for such office shall not be counted.

Sec. 42. The County Democratic Executive Committee may, at its
discretion, order a registration of all Democratic electors for each
precinct in any town or city in said county having a population of
3,000 or over, by giving the same notice and complying with the regu-
lations prescribed by law for the registration of voters at general elec-
tions, as nearly as may be practicable.

Sec. 43. The County Executive Committee shall have the right to
make any rules with regard to holding primary elections which it
may deem proper, not inconsistent with the rules prescribed in this
plan. It shall be the duty of the Executive Committee to prepare and
furnish all blanks and forms needed in making the returns from said
primary elections, and any reported challenges and appeals there-
from. It shall have power to provide for raising the funds necessary
to pay the expenses thereof.

Third Method — County Convention (In Mass)

Sec. 44. If at the meeting of the County Democratic Executive
Committee it shall be determined, by a majority of the full committee,
to nominate candidates for county and legislative offices, or either of
them, by a convention of all Democratic electors in said county,
then the said convention, in mass, shall be held under the following
rules and regulations:

Sec. 45. The chairman of the County Executive Committee shall
give at least twenty days' notice of such convention in the Democratic
press and by posters at the courthouse door and three public places
in each precinct or township.

Sec. 46. In such convention the voting strength of each precinct
or township shall be preserved as a unit, and all Democratic electors
present from any precinct or township shall segregate themselves
from the rest of the convention and express their choice for the sev-
eral candidates and delegates by count or ballot, as may be deemed
most practicable, and the vote of such precinct or township shall
be cast accordingly.

164 Plan of Organization

Sec. 47. The chairman shall provide the convention with a suffi-
cient number of secretaries or ready accountants, who shall reduce
the votes to decimals and tabulate the same, disregarding all frac-
tions after the second or hundredth column.

Sec. 48. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the convention
from making nomination by viva voce or acclamation where a vote
by township or precinct is not demanded by any Democratic elector
present.

Sec. 49. The County Democratic Executive Committee shall have
the power to make such other rules and regulations for the holding of
county conventions in mass, not inconsistent herewith, as may be
deemed necessary or expedient.

Appointment of Democratic Members of County
Board of Elections

Sec. 49-A. The Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee
in each county shall, before submitting to the State Chairman, recom-
mendations as to Democratic members of the County Board of Elec-
tions in such County, call a meeting of the Democratic Executive
Committee of the County and submit such recommendations for
the approval of the Executive Committee, and only when such rec-
ommendations are approved by a majority of the Committee present,
shall same be submitted to the State Chairman by the County Chair-
men. The time of such meeting of the respective County Executive
Committees for the purpose of passing on such recommendations shall
be fixed by the State Chairman.

Miscellaneous Provisions

Sec. 50. In the several counties of the State where primaries are
provided for by law, whether optional or mandatory, this plan of
organization shall nevertheless be followed in all matters not incon-
sistent with such laws.

Sec. 51. In the nomination of candidates for municipal offices to
be voted for in the town and city elections, where the same is not
controlled by charter, or legislative enactment, the Democratic Execu-
tive Committee of such town or city shall by a majority vote of the
full committee, determine whether to hold precinct meetings, a pri-
mary election, or mass conventions under the appropriate rules and
regulations prescribed in this plan of organization for the same.

Plan of Organization 165

•

Sec. 52. In the event of a vacancy occurring after the nomination
of a candidate and before the election, the State committee or the
district committee for which such vacancy occurs shall fill said
vacancy except in cases where there is more than one candidate for
the office, and in such cases the proper committee shall determine
the manner in which such vacancy shall be filled.

Sec. 53. The right of appeal shall lie from any subordinate com-
mittee or convention to the committee or convention next superior

cial committee, provided by the convention, and the findings and
reports of such committee had before action thereon by the con-
vention.

tive Committee in the State, for the use of the county, district, and

in its precinct. This shall be furnished to the county chairman, and he
shall tabulate the same and transmit without delay copies thereof
to the district and State chairmen.

Amendments to Plan of Organization

Sec. 56. The State Democratic Executive Committee shall, by a
majority vote of the full committee, have power to amend this plan

REPUBLICAN STATE PLATFORM 1942

The Republican Party has always hated tyranny and any system of
government that creates political and economic slavery. It has always
loved freedom and liberty. Its first great mission was to free an
enslaved people. Its greatest and most immediate duty now is to help
free the world from the Hitlerism of Europe and the treacherous mili-
tarism of the Japanese Empire. Its greatest objective now is to win
the war and to preserve America as the greatest, freest nation on
earth. To that sacred but difficult task the Republican Party this day
dedicates its heart and mind and strength.

The Republican Party of North Carolina has certain definite ideas
with regard to the proper prosecution of the war in which we are now
engaged. In the interest of national unity it does not desire at this
time to criticize the present administration in Washington for mis-
takes and errors already completed. It considers itself free, however,
and we consider it our patriotic duty to criticize those errors and
unwise policies of the Administration which are now continuing and
which are now a severe handicap to the vigorous and intelligent
prosecution of the war. We consider it unpatriotic and cowardly for a
minority party to hold its tongue while the party in charge of the
administration of the government pursues policies which can only
lead to confusion and defeats and the loss of needless numbers of
lives. The Republican Party in the nation has never been in power
at the beginning or the completion of any devastating world war.
It has managed at all times, with the exception of the short war with
Spain, to steer the Ship of State safely through troubled waters. Yet
it has demonstrated in both world wars its patriotism and loyalty to
the government. It has furnished its Hoovers and Pershings, its
MacArthurs and Willkies and Martins. It has given its millions of
soldiers, its greatest business executives, its farmers and laborers and
its billions of dollars in taxes.

Winning the War

In order that the war may be won as quickly as possible with the
loss of no more of our courageous sons than is absolutely necessary —
in order that the vaunted conquering power and might of the German
Reich and the Empire of Japan may be forever crushed so that the
world may see the sunshine of peace again, we favor:

[181]

,s - Republican Platform

(1) The immediate passage by Congress of a law outlawing strikes
in all industrial plants engaged in the manufacture of ships, air-
planes, tanks, guns and essential war materials.

(2) An immediate and drastic cut in all non-defense spending,
including the elimination of the WPA, the CCC, and all other unnec-
cessary alphabetical agencies, provided that all persons who because
of their age or physical infirmities are unable to secure jobs in
private employment shall not be allowed to suffer. We maintain that
the further existence of these spending projects is unwise and entirely
unnecessary at a time when there is a scarcity of labor on the farm
where our food must be produced and in our industrial plants
where our defense needs must be rapidly supplied.

(3) The immediate cessation by the President and his Administra-
tion of the petting and pampering of one particular class of our people
over another and of their unfriendly attitude toward business. We say
that when America is fighting for its life, no President has the right
to create and maintain a favored class, whether it be composed
of laborers or farmers or businessmen. The Republicans of North
Carolina say that there should be only one favored class in this
perilous hour — the soldiers, the sailors and the marines.

(4) We favor the maintenance of an eight-hour day in all non-
defense industries, but we urge a sufficient number of working
hours in defense plants that will insure an adequate supply of ships,
airplanes, guns, tanks and other war materials with which to stop
immediately the further aggression of our enemies in the Pacific
and elsewhere.

(5) We demand the prompt discard of the doctrine of scarcity.
The New Deal theory that we can become rich by producing less has
proved itself simple-minded and tragic. We condemn the New Deal
policy of paying the western farmers not to raise sugar beets which
has resulted in the present sugar shortage. At this very hour this
administration is limiting the acreage of cotton planted by our
farmers in the very face of the fact that some of our best informed
cotton authorities have announced that we will have a serious short-
age of that essential commodity in 1943. We demand that our
President and his Administration give the farmer back his freedom.
He never wanted to be a slave anyway. The New Deal that tried to
bribe the farmer with one hand handcuffed him with the other.
Let the farmer be free again to raise for a hungry, starving world

Republican Platform 1 S.°>

all the food that his honest toil and sweat and God's sunshine
and rain will produce.

(6) We urge the creation of a real spirit of unity in this dark hour
by the appointment by our President of the best brains of our
country to the important positions in government involving the
proper prosecution of the war. We call upon our President to name
to his Cabinet and to the other important positions of power men of
the type of Herbert Hoover, Wendell Willkie, Thomas Dewey, Henry
Ford, Jim Farley and others — men who have the confidence of the
people of America — men whose business and professional experience
qualify them to manage the great tasks of production, distribution
and government. We believe our people would find new hope and
courage if men like these would replace the Hopkinses, the Hender-
sons, the Perkinses, the Biddies and the Hillmans.

(7) We call upon the Administration to adopt a courageous and
impartial labor policy that will provide the same restraints and privi-
leges for the laborer, the businessman and farmer.

(8) We plead for restoration of our government from the hands of
professional labor leaders back to the people of all classes.

(9) We favor the right of labor to bargain collectively and the
further right of the laborer to join, to refrain from joining, or to
withdraw from, the membership of any union without fear of losing
his job.

(10) The Republican Party approves of such expenditures of money,
however vast, that are necessary to manufacture and transport the
implements of war. Mere spending of money, however, will not win
the war. There must be an efficient elimination of all waste, and the
Administration must keep in mind that every dollar spent during
the war boom will have to be paid, unless repudiated, in the uncertain
days following the war. We therefore call upon our national and state
government to eliminate all waste and extravagance in all depart-
ments, to cut off all unnecessary and useless government employees
and to assist otherwise in the lightening of the tremendous burden
of taxation that has fallen upon the backs of all our people and that is
becoming daily heavier and harder to carry. We also warn the
present National Administration and all of the people of America that
no free nation has ever been able to conduct and win a war, even for
its own freedom, when its treasury was bankrupt, or its resources
squandered or dissipated.

1 s 4 Republican Platform

(11) We condemn the letting of improvident war contracts by the
Administration whereby unconscionable profits and commissions
accrue to political and personal favorites of key men connected with
the Administration.

(12) The Republican Party points out to the people of North Caro-
lina that there are forces at work that if not checked will result in
the destruction here at home of that freedom that we are fighting
abroad to preserve. We call attention to careless and sweeping restric-
tions on production and distribution entirely unconnected with the
war effort, that if continued must inevitably lead to disaster to our
social order beyond prediction. We recognize the necessity of put-
ting the war effort over but we condemn in the strongest terms possi-
ble the apparent use of the war as a cloak for socialistic experimenta-
tion and sweeping regimentation for regimentation's sake. In this
connection we say to the farmers of North Carolina: "The New Deal
poses as your friend. Yet it holds down the prices of your products
below the level of a fair return and undertakes to make up the differ-
ence by government handouts, thus seeking to destroy the traditional
liberty of the American farmer and make him dependent upon the
whims and charity of the Federal government for his existence."
Only that regulation should be tolerated which is indispensable to the
war effort.

After the War

The Republican Party of North Carolina realizes that the war will
some day be over. Our great country will be the victor, but this victory
will have been won at a great cost in lives and property. Hundreds of
thousands of our finest men will never set foot again upon the shores
of their native land. This tremendous cost in blood and money will
have been too great unless the government that is turned over to those
who do come back is a free government where free men and free
enterprise still prevail. Nothing could be more tragic, more deceptive
than for those who return to find a land that has lost its freedom by
surrendering it in an emergency to those who loved power so much
that they were unwilling to relinquish it when the war was over.
Men should not be allowed to die in World War II if those who
survive are to be made servants of the State thereafter. America will
not be free unless its citizens have equal rights, enforceable in
unpacked and unprejudiced courts. It will not be free if the oppor-
tunity to acquire and accumulate property is not afforded to its people

Republican Platform 185

It will not be free if any one class of its citizenship is deliberately
destroyed by taxation for the benefit of another class or if the Ameri-
can people are left in a political and economic strait-jacket, with their
welfares dependent upon the whims and theories of an all-powerful
state.

The Republican Party pledges to those who risk their lives for their
country a free America after the war. To that one great proposition it
dedicates itself and the last ounce of its energy in the greatest of
all battles that is to come. We challenge that substantial portion of
Democratic voters in the State of North Carolina who believe with us
in the great system of free enterprise and free men to join with us to
preserve those cherished and essential heritages of the American
way.

The Republican Party further pledges that it will use its finest
brains after the war to work out a just and permanent peace and to
prevent the recurrence of the awful tragedy of war in the years
ahead.

STATE AFFAIRS

Intoxicating Liquors

We restate with renewed emphasis our belief that no intoxicating
liquors should be manufactured or sold within the State of North
Carolina unless and until the same shall be approved by a State
referendum. We believe further that the State Legislature should
pass adequate laws to prohibit the sale of intoxicants within a radius
of fifty miles of any army camp located within the State. Liquor is a
serious handicap to the winning of the war, and we especially oppose
the use of millions of pounds of sugar in its manufacture when sugar
is being rationed in our homes.

Absentee Ballot

We demand the repeal of the absentee ballot in general elections.
We say that no law can be drawn that will prevent fraud and profes-
sional absentee racketeering in elections by unscrupulous political
henchmen whose illegal acts and forgeries are protected and condoned
by over-zealous party leaders in charge of election machinery in
many of the counties of our State. We recommend, however, that
provision be made for absentee voting by our armed forces, with
proper safeguards to see that their votes are cast in the ballot boxes as
they were originally marked by them.

186 Republican Platform

Election Laws

We challenge the Legislature of North Carolina to revise the
election laws of the state to the end that the members of the
minority party therein may be accorded the same opportunity to
register and vote as are the members of the majority party. No elec-
tion is either free or fair when a different standard is set for voters
of different political faiths. "We say to the Democratic Governor and
the Democratic members of the Legislature in 1942: "Now that
Republican soldiers are dying in Australia and other parts of the
world to preserve freedom, give us that freedom here in North Caro-
lina in a free, fair ballot."

Education and Highways

We favor a nine months' term for our public school system, but
we condemn the practice of attempting to force school-teachers, em-
ployees of the State Highway Commission, or other state employees
to affiliate with any political party. We favor a bi-partisan State
Highway Commission and State Board of Education.

Judiciary

We favor a non-partisan judiciary in the Superior and Supreme
Courts of North Carolina.

Exemption op Soldiers' Salaries

In appreciation of the services and sacrifices being made and to be
made by our soldiers in defense of our union, we favor that the sal-
aries paid to our soldiers be exempted from state and national
income taxation.

Embezzlement in Revenue Department

It is apparent that the best possible government cannot be obtained
when there is continual and uninterrupted domination by a single
political party. If this truism needed any further reinforcement,
shocking proof has come to light in the recent sorry state of affairs
uncovered in our Revenue Department where employees old in the
service have confessed to long continued fraud and embezzlement. We
denounce the wholesale stealing and misappropriation of the tax-
payers' money in the North Carolina State Departments that has

Republican Platform 187

existed under the Democratic Party for the past several years, as
recently shown by convictions in the criminal court of Wake County.
We demand that Governor Broughton immediately appoint a non-
partisan, impartial and capable committee to investigate all of the
state departments and report its findings to the Governor of North
Carolina and the Wake County Grand Jury for proper action. It is
therefore the duty and privilege of all citizens of independent minds
and free consciences to encourage the further growth of the Republi-
can Party in North Carolina until it has become so strong that the
dominant party will know that when it fails to perform the proper
functions of a party in giving the state clean and economical gov-
ernment, it will be ingloriously overthrown and driven from power.

Local Self-Govern ment

We condemn the unsportsmanlike practice of the Democratic Party
in taking away from the people in Republican counties the right of
local self-government. We say that such conduct on the part of any
party is reprehensible and unworthy of any free people. We call upon
the Democratic Governor and Legislature to repeal these brutal,
indefensible laws, which, in the heat of partnership, were blows
struck at the very heart of Liberty.

We pledge to the people of our state an honest, courageous, patriotic
and intelligent Republican Party, which, if entrusted with power, will
devote its energies and heart and soul to the true interests of the
people of the State of North Carolina and of the United States.

PLAN OF ORGANIZATION OF THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY OF NORTH CAROLINA

Adopted in Convention, 1940, at Charlotte

ARTICLE I

The Precinct as a Unit

The unit of party action shall be the election precinct. In each
precinct there shall be elected an Executive Committee of five voters,
one of whom shall be designated as Chairman, and another as Vice
Chairman, who shall be a woman. There shall also be elected a Secre-
tary. The member of the Precinct Committee, the Chairman, Vice
Chairman, and Secretary, shall hold their places for two years from
date of their election, and until their successors are chosen. There
shall be a precinct meeting in each precinct in each election year, to
be called by the Chairman of the County Executive Committee, who
shall designate the time and place of holding the precinct meetings,
after giving ten days' notice thereof, and the voters of each precinct
in such meeting assembled shall organize the precinct, by the election
of a precinct executive committee, precinct chairman, vice chairman,
and secretary, and such precinct meetings shall also elect one delegate
and one alternate to the County Convention (to be called as herein-
after provided), for each fifty votes or fraction thereof cast for the
Republican candidate for Governor at the latest election. In addition
to the regular precinct meetings in each election year, others are to
be called and held as often as necessary at such times and places as
will be designated by the Chairman of the Precinct Committee, or in
the absence of the Chairman, by any other members of the Committee,
after first giving ten days' notice of such meeting.

That in the event any Chairman of any Precinct fails to act, then
the Chairman of the County Executive Committee shall have the
power to appoint some one in his or her place.

ARTICLE II

County Conventions and County Committees

(1) A County Convention shall be called in each election year by
the Chairman of the County Executive Committee, who shall desig-

POPULATION OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA

Sixteenth Census of the United States: 1940

Between 1930 and 1940 North Carolina's urban places continued
to grow faster than the rural areas, according to the final figures
from the Sixteenth Decennial Census, issued by Director William
Lane Austin, of the Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce.

The final count of the Sixteenth Census showed that on April 1,
1940, North Carolina had a population of 3,571,623, an increase of
401,347 over the 3,170,276 residents reported in the 1930 Census. This
change represents an increase of 12.7 per cent as compared with 23.9
per cent between 1920 and 1930. The population increase in urban
areas from 1930 to 1940 was 20.3 per cent as compared with 10.0
per cent in the rural sections. Urban residents accounted for 27.3
per cent of the State's population in 1940, as compared with 25.5
per cent in 1930. In 1940, residents of urban areas numbered 974,175,
while the rural population amounted to 2,597,448. The Census Bureau
considers as urban areas the incorporated places of 2,500 or more.
The remaining territory is classified as rural.

There were 26 incorporated places of 10,000 or more in North
Carolina, 5 (Burlington, Greenville, Hickory, Lexington, and Reids-
ville) having reached this size since 1930. All but one (New Bern)
of these cities increased between 1930 and 1940, Hickory having had
the most rapid growth (83.2 per cent).

Ninety-one of the 100 counties gained population between 1930 and
1940. Alamance County, with an increase of 36.3 per cent, had the
most extensive growth.

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, but the rate of increase during the past
decade was the lowest since that of 1860 to 1870. The population
passed 1,000,000 between 1860 and 1870, 2,000,000 between 1900 and
1910, and 3,000,000 between 1920 and 1930. The present population
represents a density of 72.7 inhabitants per square mile. North
Carolina's total land area is 49,142 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
less than 10,000.

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 380°53'20.4" N. and longitude 770°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 aggregate weight of material used in its
construction is 8,909,200 pounds.

The Statute 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 Washington. 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 subsequent 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% 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 36 feet in height. The galleries will accommo-
date 682 persons.

The Representatives' Hall is 139 feet in length by 93 feet in
width and 36 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.

[ 285 ]

286 The National Capital

The Capitol has a floor area of 14 acres, and 430 rooms are devoted
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 archi-
tect'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 ceremonies.
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 grad-
ing 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 architectural direction of
Thomas U. Walter till 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 at Lee, Massachusetts, and
that in the columns from the quarries at Cockeysville, Maryland.
The House extension was first occupied for legislative purpose Decem-
ber 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 structure,
$5,019,251.

Among the paintings in the Capitol are:

der of General Burgoyne, Surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown,

THE AMERICAN FLAG, ITS ORIGIN

In 1775 the Philadelphia Troop of Light Horse carried a standard
with thirteen alternate blue and silver stripes in the upper left-hand
corner. At Cambridge on January 2, 1776, Washington without au-
thorization 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 "Con-
tinental Flag," and was employed until displaced by the Stars and
Stripes adopted by the Continental Congress.

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."

This action was necessitated by the admission of the States of Ver-
mont and Kentucky to the Union.

The flag of 1795 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 flag of
the United States be thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate red
and white; that the union have twenty stars, white In a blue
field.

[288 ]

The American Flag 289

"That on the admission of every new state into the Union,
one star be added to the union of the flag; and that such
addition shall take effect on the Fourth of July next suc-
ceeding such admission."

Since 1818 additional stars have been added until today there are
48 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 by common practice they form six rows of eight stars each.

Betsy Ross, it is now said, lived at 233 Arch Street, Philadelphia,
and not at 239. She made flags, but says Theodore D. Gottlieb, she
never made the first Stars and Stripes. He adds: "The Department
of State, the War and Navy departments, the Historical Sites Com-
mission 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 84 years old and he was 11, she told him the story. He apparently
thought little of it because nothing was done until 1857, when at the
suggestion of his Aunt Clarissa, oldest daughter of Betsy, he wrote
out the notes as he remembered the conversation.

"Nothing further was done until 1870 when he wrote his paper.
The Historical Society of Pennsylvania thought so little of the paper
it neither catalogued nor kept a copy of it. Even George Canby,
younger brother of William, disputed several points in the paper.

"The legend grew to strength from 1888 to 1893 when promoters
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

Sec. 2. (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 occa-
sions when it is desired to produce a patriotic effect.

290 The American Flag

(b) The flag should be hoisted briskly and lowered ceremoniously.

(d) The flag should be displayed on all days when the weather
permits, especially on New Year's Day, January 1; Inauguration Day,
January 20; Lincoln's Birthday, February 12; Washington's Birth-
day, February 22; Army Day, April 6; Easter Sunday (variable);
Mother's Day, second Sunday in May; Memorial 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; Armistice Day,
November 11; Thanksgiving Day, last Thursday in November; Christ-
mas Day, December 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 institution.

(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. 3. That 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).

(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 church
services for the personnel of the Navy.

(d) The flag of the United States of America, when it is displayed
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.

The American Flag 291

(e) The flag of the United States of America should he 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 dis-
played from staffs.

(f) When flags of States, cities, or localities, or pennants of soci-
eties are flown on the same halyard with the flag of the United
States, the latter should always be at the peak. When the flags
are flown from adjacent staffs, the flag of the United States should
be hoisted first and lowered last. No such flag or pennant may
be placed above the flag of the United States or to the right of the
flag of the United States.

(g) When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to
be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should
be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the
display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in
time of peace.

(h) When the flag of the United States is displayed from a staff
projecting horizontally or at an agle 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.
When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall,
the union should be uppermost and to the flag's own right; that is,
to the observer's left. When displayed in a window, the flag should
be displayed in the same way; that is, with the union or blue field
to the left of the observer in the street.

(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 he displayed above and behind the speaker. When dis-
played from a staff in a church or public auditorium, if it is displayed
in the chancel of a church, or on the speaker's platform 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 plat-

292 The American Flag

form should be placed at the clergyman'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 congregation or audience as they face the chancel
or platform. Any other flag so displayed should be placed on the left
of the congregation or audience as they face the chancel or platform.

(1) The flag should form a distinctive feature of the ceremony 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 hauling 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 or allowed to touch the ground.

Sec. 4. That no disrespect should be shown to the flag of the
United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person
or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institu-
tional 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.

(d) The flag should never be used as drapery of any sort whatso-
ever, never festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed
to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with
the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should
be used for covering a speaker's desk, draping the front of a 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.

The American Flag 293

(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on part of it,
nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design,
picture, or drawing of any nature.

(h) The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving,
holding, carrying, or delivering anything.

(i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any
manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as
cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise im-
pressed 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. 5. That 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 right-hand 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 merely 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. 6. That 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, re-
taining this position until the last note. All others stand at attention,
men removing the headdress. When the flag is displayed, the salute
to the flag should be given.

Sec. 7. That 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 indivisible, with liberty and justice
for all," be rendered by standing with the right hand over the heart;
extending the right hand, palm upward, toward the flag at the words
"to the flag" and holding this position until the end, when the hand
drops to the side. However, civilians will always show full respect
to the flag when the pledge is given by merely standing at attention,

294 The American Flag

men removing the headdress. Persons in uniform shall render the
military salute.

Sec. 8. Any rule or custom pertaining to the display of the flag of
the United States of America, set forth herein, may be altered, modi-
fied, 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 desir-
able; and any such alteration 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, indivisible,
With liberty and justice for all."

The Pledge to the Flag, according to a report of the Historical Com-
mittee 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, Massachusetts. 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 Phila-
delphia, who made flags. He also designed the first Great Seal of the
United States, and a number of coins and several items of paper
currency in the early days of the Republic.

Hopkinson, born in Philadelphia (September 21, 1737), and a
graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, was the first native
American composer of a secular song, "My Days Have Been So
Wondrous Free." He was a lawyer and later a judge in New Jersey,
and then in Pennsylvania. He died in Philadelphia (May 9, 1791).
His portrait, painted by himself, hangs in the rooms of the Pennsyl-
vania Historical Society, Philadelphia. He played the organ and the
harpsichord.

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 republic; a sov-
ereign 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 America's Creed by William Tyler Page was adopted by
an act of Congress, April 6, 191S.)

THE HALIFAX RESOLUTION

Adopted by the Provincial Congress of North Carolina in Session
at Halifax, April 12, 1776

It appears to your committee that pursuant to the plan concerted
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 uncontrolled; and disre-
garding their humble petitions for peace, liberty and safety, have
made divers legislative acts, denouncing war, famine, and every
species of calamity, against the Continent in general. The British
fleets and armies have been, and still are, daily employed in destroy-
ing the people, and committing the most horrid devastations on the
country. The Governors in different Colonies have declared protection
to slaves who should imbrue their hands in the blood of their mas-
ters. That ships belonging to America are declared prizes of war,
and many of them have been violently seized and confiscated. In con-
sequence of all of which multitudes of the people have been destroyed,
or from easy circumstances 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 obtain-
ing redress by those means alone which have been hitherto tried,

[295 ]

296 Halifax Resolution

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 empowered to concur with the delegates of the other
Colonies in declaring Independency, and forming foreign alliances,
reserving to this Colony the sole and exclusive right of forming a
Constitution and laws for this Colony, and of appointing delegates
from time to time (under the direction of a general representation
thereof), to meet the delegates of the other Colonies for such pur-
poses as shall be hereafter pointed out.

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 sep-
aration.

We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created
equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable
Rights; that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Hap-
piness. That, to secure these rights, Governments are instituted
among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the gov-
erned; That, whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive
of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,

Declaration of Independence 299

and to institute new Government, laying its foundations on such prin-
ciples, and organizing its powers in such form, 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 expe-
rience 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 invariably the same Object, evinces a design
to reduce them under absolute 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 usurpa-
tions, all having 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 neces-
sary for the public good.

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 Records,
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 An-
nihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise;
the State remaining, in the meantime, exposed to all the dangers of
invasion from without, and convulsions within.

300 Declaration of Independence

He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States for
that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners;
refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and rais-
ing 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 substance.

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:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any
Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas, to be tried for pretended offenses:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighboring
Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarg-
ing 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 Mercenaries
to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun
with circumstances of Cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the

Declaration of Independence 301

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 executioners
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 merciless
Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished
destruction of all ages, sexes, and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress
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.

Nor have we been wanting in attentions to our Britain brethren.
We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legisla-
ture to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have re-
minded 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 common kindred to disavow
these usurpations, which inevitably interrupt our connections and
correspondence. They, too, have been deaf to the voice of justice
and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity,
which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest
of mankind — Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, Therefore, the Representatives of the United States of Amer-
ica, in General Congress Assembled, appealing to the Supreme 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 Allegi-
ance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between
them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dis-
solved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full
Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Com-
merce, 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 protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge
to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

several States which may be included within this Union, according
to their respective numbers, which shall be determined by adding to

other persons. The actual enumeration shall be made within three
years after the first meeting of the Congress of the United States, and

together with the objections, to the other House, by which it shall
likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two-thirds of that House,
it shall become a law. But in all such cases the votes of both Houses
shall be determined by yeas and nays, and the names of the persons
voting for and against the bill shall be entered on the journal of each
House respectively. If any bill shall not be returned by the President
within ten days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented

think proper in the President alone, in the courts of law, or in the
heads of departments.

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 purpose. Com-
missioners were appointed to have the work done. The rubbish was
cleared away, the excavations made and the foundations were laid.
On July 4, 1833, the cornerstone was set in place.

After the foundations were laid the work progressed more slowly,
and it was so expensive that the appropriation was exhausted. The
Legislature at its next session appropriated $75,000 more. To do the
stone and finer work many skilled artisans had been brought from
Scotland and other countries. The Building Commissioners con-
tracted 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, the 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 material
the cost of the Capitol would have been considerably increased.

In the summer of 1840 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 and when the
entire taxes for all State purposes reached less than $100,000, yet the

[ 324 ]

The State Capitol 325

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 97 y 2 feet in the center.
The apex of pediment is 64 feet in height. The stylobate is IS feet
in height. The columns of the east and west porticoes are 5 feet 2y 2
inches in diameter. An entablature, including blocking course, is
continued around the building, 12 feet high.

"The columns and entablature are Grecian Doric, and copied from
the Temple of Minerva, commonly called the Parthenon, which was
erected in Athens about 500 years before Christ. An octagon tower
surrounds the rotunda, which is ornamented with Grecian cornices,
etc., and its dome is decorated at top with a similar ornament to that
of the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates, commonly called the
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 appropriated
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 decorated with columns and antae,
similar to those of the Ionic Temple on the Ilissus, near the Acropolis
of Athens. The remainder is groined with stone and brick, springing
from columns and pilasters of the Roman Doric.

"The second story consists of Senatorial and Representatives'
chambers, the former containing an area of 2,545 and the latter 2,849
square feet. Four apartments enter from Senate Chamber, two of
which contain each an area of 169 square feet, and the other two
contain each an area of 154 square feet; also, two rooms enter from
Representatives' chamber, each containing an area of 170 square feet;
of two committee rooms, each containing an area of 231 feet; of four

326 The State Capitol

presses and the passages, stairs, lobbies, 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 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 letters this
inscription: "May 20th, 1775," and that below the star there shall be
a similar scroll containing in black letters the inscription: "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 insti-
tutions and public buildings shall provide a North Carolina flag, of
such dimensions and material 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 counties
in this State shall likewise authorize the procuring of a North Caro-
lina 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.)

[327]

THE GREAT SEAL

The Constitution of North Carolina, Article III, section 16, requires
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 documents
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 described
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.)

[ 328]

We, the people of the State of North Carolina, grateful to Almighty
God, the Sovereign Ruler of Nations, for the preservation of the

ARTICLE I

DECLABATION OF EIGHTS

That the great, general, and essential principles of liberty and free
government may be recognized and established, and that the relations

may be denned and affirmed, we do declare:

Section 1. The equality and rights of men. That we hold it to be

life, liberty, the enjoyment of the fruits of their own labor, and the
pursuit of happiness.

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 regulating the
internal government and policies thereof, and of altering and abolish-
ing their Constitution and form of government whenever it may be
necessary for their safety and happiness; but every such right should
be exercised in pursuance of the law, and consistently with the Con-
stitution of the United States.

[ 329 ]

330 Constitution of North Carolina

Sec. 4. That there is no right 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 Constitution
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 Convention of
1S68, '6S-'69, '69-'70, declared invalid; exception. The State shall
never assume or pay, or authorize the collection of any debt or obliga-
tion, 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 author-
ity of the Convention of the year one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-eight, nor any debt or bond incurred or issued by the Legisla-
ture of the year one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight, either
at its special session of the year one thousand 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 thou-
sand eight hundred and seventy, except the bonds issued to fund the
interest on the old debt of the State, unless the proposing to pay the
same shall have first been submitted to the people, and by them
ratified by the vote of a majority of all the qualified voters of the
State at a regular election held for that purpose.

Sec. 7. Exclusive emoluments, etc. No man or set of men are
entitled to exclusive or separate emoluments or privileges from the
community but in consideration of public services.

Sec. 8. The legislative, executive, and judicial powers distinct. The
legislative, executive, and supreme judicial powers of the government
ought to be forever separate and distinct from each other.

Sec. 9. Of the power of suspending laws. All power of suspending
laws, or the execution of laws, by any authority, without the consent

Constitution of North Carolina 331

of the representatives of the people, is injurious to their rights, and
ought not to be exercised.

Sec. 10. Election free. All elections ought to be free.

Sec. 11. In criminal prosecutions. In all criminal prosecutions
every man has the right to be informed of the accusation against
him, and to confront the accusers and witnesses with other testimony,
and to have counsel for his defense, and not be compelled to give
evidence against himself, or to pay costs, jail fees, or necessary
witness fees of the defense, unless found guilty.

Sec. 12. Answers to criminal charges. No person shall be put to
answer any criminal charge except as hereinafter allowed, but by
indictment, presentment, or impeachment.

Sec. 13. Right of jury. No person shall be convicted of any crime

trial for petty misdemeanors, with the right of appeal.

Sec. 14. Excessive hail. Excessive bail should not be required,
nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel or unusual punishment
inflicted.

Sec. 15. General ivarrants. General warrants, whereby any officer
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 imprisonment
for debt in this State, except in cases of fraud.

Sec. 17. No person taken, etc., but by law of the land. No person
ought to be taken, imprisoned, or disseized of his freehold, liberties
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 laic 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.

332 Constitution of North Carolina

Sec. 20. Freedom of the press. The freedom of the press is one of
the great bulwarks of liberty, and therefore ought never to be
restrained, but every individual shall be held responsible for the
abuse of the same.

Sec. 21. Habeas corpus. The privileges of the writ of habeas
corpus shall not be suspended.

Sec. 22. Property qualification. As political rights and privileges
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 representatives 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 stand-
ing armies in time of peace are dangerous to liberty, they ought not
to be kept up, and the military should be kept under strict subordina-
tion to, and governed by, the civil power. Northing 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 good, to
instruct their respresentatives, and to apply to the Legislature for
redress of grievances. But secret political socities are dangerous to
the liberty of a free people, and should not be tolerated.

Sec. 26. Religious liberty. All men have a natural and inalienable
right to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of their
own consciences, and no human authority should, in any case what-
ever, control or interfere with the rights of conscience.

Sec. 27. Education. The people have the right to the privilege of
education, and it is the duty of the State to guard and maintain that
right.

Sec. 28. Elections should be frequent. For redress of grievances,
and for amending and strengthening the laws, elections should be
often held.

Constitution of Xorth Carolina 333

Sec. 29. Recurrence to fundamental principles. A frequent recur-
rence to fundamental principles is absolutely necessary to preserve
the blessings of liberty.

Sec. 30. Hereditary emoluments, etc. No hereditary emoluments,
privileges, or honors ought to be granted or conferred in this State.

Sec. 31. Perpetuities, etc. Perpetuities and monopolies are con-
trary to the genius of a free State, and ought not to be allowed.

Sec. 32. Ex post facto laws. Retrospective laws, punishing acts
committed before the existence of such laws, and by them only
declared criminal, are oppressive, unjust, and incompatible with
liberty; wherefore no ex post facto law ought to be made. No law
taxing retrospectively sales, purchases, or other acts previously 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.

peace, be quartered in any house without the consent of the owner;

tion of the State, by the number of Representatives, less the
number assigned to such counties; and in ascertaining the number

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 regiment 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'ns heels to make you stick better in the next fight." Creecy
relates that General Lee, hearing of the incident, said: "God bless the
Tar Heel boys," and from that they took the name.— Adapted from
Grandfather 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 than the English. The three words,
"Esse Quam Videri," require at least six English words to express
the same idea.

[365]

366 The State Song

Curiosity has been aroused to learu the origin of our State motto.
It is found in Cicero in his essay on Friendship (Cicero de Amicitia,
chap. 26).

It is a little singular that until the act of 1893 the sovereign State
of North Carolina had no motto since its declaration of independence.
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.)

The State Song

The song known as "The Old North State," as hereinafter written,
adopted and declared to be the official song of the State of North
Carolina, said song being in words as follows:

"Carolina! Carolina! Heaven's blessings attend her!

While we live we will cherish, protect and defend her;
Though the scorner may sneer at and witlings defame her,

Our hearts swell with gladness whenever we name her.

CHORUS

Hurrah! Hurrah! The Old North State forever!
Hurrah! Hurrah! The good Old North State!

Though she envies not others their merited glory,

Say, whose name stands the foremost in Liberty's story

Though too true to herself e'er to crouch to oppression,
Who can yield to just rule more loyal submission?

Plain and artless her sons, but whose doors open faster
At the knock of a stranger, or the tale of disaster?

How like to the rudeness of their dear native mountains,
With rich ore in their bosoms and life in their fountains.

And her daughters, the Queen of the Forest resembling —
So graceful, so constant, yet to gentlest breath trembling;

And true lightwood at heart, let the match be applied them,

How they kindle and flame! Oh! none know but who've tried them.

Then let all who love us, love the land that we live in

(As happy a region as on this side of Heaven),
Where Plenty and Freedom, Love and Peace smile before us,

Raise aloud, raise together, the heart-thrilling chorus!"

(1927, c. 26, s. 1.)

State Flower 367

The State Flower

The General Assembly of 1941 designated the dogwood as the State
flower. (Public Laws, 1941, c. 289)

The State Bird

The Carolina Chickadee was designated by popular vote in 1931
under sponsorship of State Women's Clubs. The General Assembly
on May 8, 1933, officially designated it as the State bird, but repealed
its action seven days later.

At the time this publication went to press a bill was pending in
the 1943 General Assembly to designate the Cardinal as the State
bird.

The State Colors

There are no officially designated colors. Many generally accept
the colors of the University of North Carolina— BLUE AND WHITE.

The State's Most Famous Toast

(Not Officially Designated)

"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."

(Composed in 1904 by Mrs. Harry C. Martin, former resident of

Raleigh, N. C, out tww living in Tennessee.)
