HISTORICAL
THE STATE
North Carolina, often called the "Tar Heel" state, was the scene
of the first attempt to colonize America by English-speaking peo-
ple. Under a charter granted to Sir Walter Raleigh by Queen
Elizabeth, a colony was begun in the 1580's on Roanoke Island.
This settlement, however, was unsuccessful and later became known
as "The Lost Colony."
The first permanent settlement was made about 1650 by immi-
grants from Virginia. In 1663 Charles II granted to eight Lords
Proprietors a charter for the territory lying "within six and
thirty degrees of the northern latitude, and to the west as far as
the south seas, and so southerly as far as the river St. Mattias,
which bordereth upon the coast of Florida, and within one and
thirty degrees of northern latitude, and so west in a direct line as
far as the south seas aforesaid; . . ." and the colony was called
Carolina. In 1665 another charter was granted to these noble-
men. This charter extended the limits of Carolina so that the
northern line was 36 degrees and 30 minutes north latitude, and
the southern line was 29 degrees north latitude, and both of these
lines extended westward to the South Seas.
In 1669 John Locke wrote the Fundamental Constitutions as a
model for the government of Carolina. The Lords Proprietors
adopted these constitutions and directed the governor to put into
operation as much of them as was feasible. In 1670 there were
four precincts (changed to counties in 1739); Pasquotank, Per-
quimans, Chowan, and Currituck. North Carolina now has one
hundred counties.
Carolina on December 7, 1710, was divided into North Carolina
and South Carolina, and Edward Hyde, on May 12, 1712, became
the first governor of North Carolina.
In 1729 seven of the eight Lords Proprietors sold their interest
in Carolina to the Crown and North Carolina became a royal
colony. George Burrington was the first royal governor. Richard
Everard. the last proprietary governor, served until Burrington
was appointed.
North Carolina, on April 12, 1776, authorized her delegates in
the Continental Congress to vote for independence, and on Decem-
ber 18, 1776, adopted a constitution. Richard Caswell became the
fii'st governor under this constitution. On November 21. ]7Sfl. the
4 North Carolina Manual
state adopted the United States Constitution, being tlie twelfth
state to enter the Federal Union. North Carolina, in 1788, had
rejected the Constitution on the grounds that certain amendments
were vital and necessary to a free people.
A Constitutional convention was held in 1835 and among several
changes made in the Constitution was the method of electing the
governor. After this change the governor was elected by the peo-
ple for a term of two years instead of being elected by the Legis-
lature for a term of one year. Edward Bishop Dudley was the first
governor elected by the people.
North Carolina seceded from the Union May 20, 1861, and was
readmitted to the Union in July, 1868.
A new State Constitution was adopted in 1868 and since that
date the governor has been elected by the people for four-year
terms and he cannot succeed himself. There has not been a new-
constitution since 1868, but numerous amendments have been added
to it.
North Carolina has had a democratic administration since 1900,
during which period it has made its greatest progress.
North Carolina has had two permanent capitals — New Bern and
Raleigh — and there have been three capitol buildings. Tryon's
Palace in New Bern was constructed in the period, 1767-1770, and
the main building was destroyed by fire February 27, 1798. The
first capitol in Raleigh was completed in 1794 and was destroyed
by fire on June 21, 1831. The present capitol was completed in 1840.
The state in 1790 ceded her western lands, which was composed
of Washington, Davidson, Hawkins, Greene, Sullivan, Sumner, and
Tennessee counties, to the Federal government, and between 1790
and 1796 the territory was known as Tennessee Territory, but in
1796 it became the fifteenth state in the Union.
In 1738, the General Assembly of North Carolina passed an act
authorizing the establishment of district courts which served as
appelant courts. These courts were authorized to be held in Bath,
New Bern, and New Town — now Wilmington. In 1746, the General
Assembly repealed the act of 1738 and established district courts
to be held at Edenton, Wilmington, and Edgecombe. From 1754
until 1790, other districts were formed as the state expanded in
territory and developed needs for these districts. By 1790, there
were eight judicial districts divided into two ridings of four dis-
tricts each. In 1806, the General Assembly passed an act estab-
lishing a superior court in each county. The act also set up judi-
The State 5
cial districts composed of certain contiguous counties, and this
practice of expanding the districts has continued from five districts
in 1806 until now there are thirty districts.
When North Carolina adopted the Federal Constitution on Novem-
ber 21, 1789, she was authorized to send two senators and five rep-
resentatives to the Congress of the United States according to the
constitutional apportionment. In 1792, when the first federal census
had been completed and tabulated, it was found that North Carolina
was entitled to ten representatives. It was then that the General
Assembly divided the state into ten congressional districts. In
1812, the state had grown and increased in population until it was
entitled to thirteen representatives in Congress. Between 1812 and
1865, however, the population decreased so much in proportion to
the population of other states of the Union that North Carolina was
by that time entitled only to seven representatives. After 1865
the population of the state showed a steady increase so that begin-
ning in 1943 North Carolina was entitled to twelve representatives
in Congress. The 1960 census showed that the state had nearly
a half million more people than in 1950, but this increase was not
nearly as much in proportion to that of some of the other states
so, therefore. North Carolina will be entitled to only eleven repre-
sentatives beginning with the 88th Congress which convenes in
1963.
Agriculture
Total realized gross agricultural income to North Carolina farmers
in 1959 amounted to $1,178 million. Although below the record
high total of $1,240 million realized in 1958, the State's agricultural
income in 1959 was second only to that for Texas among the
Southern States of the Nation.
Income from sales of crops in 1959 accounted for $671 million,
which figure was exceeded only by California, Texas and Illinois.
This accomplishment was realized despite the fact that 1959 yields
from some of the important cash crops were somewhat below pre-
vious levels.
Although income statistics are not yet available for 1960, it is
anticipated that gross agricultural income in that year exceeded
by a fairly substantial margin all previous records. For many of
the important cash crops produced in the State. 1960 was an
unusually good year. Record high per-acre yields were realized
for tobacco, corn, soybeans, and sorghum gains, while peanut yields
6 North Carolina Manual
were well above average. Of the major crops harvested in the State
during 19(j0, only cotton and small grains tailed to produce yields
up to past standards.
Record high yields of flue-cured tobacco contributed to a 19
percent increase in production during 1960 as compared with 1959.
Furthermore, prices received in 1960 averaged more than 3 cents
per pound above those received in 1959. The value of the 835
million pound crop produced in 1960, at $510.5 million, was more
than $100 million above the $407 million evaluation for the preced-
ing year.
Corn production in 1960 was at a record high level despite the
fact that acreage has been trending downward for a number of
years. This record high production resulted from a yield per acre
6 bushels above any previous record. Farmers harvested an average
of 50 bushels per acre from slightly more than 1.9 million acres,
giving a total production of approximately 97 million bushels. With
prices in 1960 about comparable with those in 1959, last year's
corn crop was worth approximately $12 million more than was the
1959 harvest.
Acreage devoted to production of soybeans continued to expand
and the record high total of 565,000 acres harvested for beans in
1960 exceeded by 110,000 acres the previous record for 1959. Yield
per acre was also kt a record high level, and the 1960 production
of soybeans was valued almost $5.2 million above that for 1959.
Last year's peanut crop, although not up to previous record high
levels, yielded substantially better than in 1959, and harvest of
311.5 million pounds was about 30 million pounds above the pre-
vious year. Value of peanuts harvested in 1960, at $34.2 million,
reflected a gain of slightly more than $4 million from the preced-
ing year.
Thanks to record high yields per acre of sorghum grains, total
production of sorghums in 1960 also exceeded all past records — the
crop being valued about a quarter million dollars above the 1959
harvest.
Last year's cotton crop yielded comparatively poorly, due to
damage from excessive moisture and insects. The harvested yield
of 288 pounds per acre was 107 pounds below that of the preceding
year. Total production amounted to only 235,000 bales, compared
with 322,000 in 1959. Although farmers realized a slightly higher
unit price for their 1960 cotton than in 1959, value of cotton and
The State 7
cottonseed produced in 1960 declined approximately $11 million
from the preceding year.
Last year's harvest of all small grains was also reduced quite
severely due primarily to much smaller acreages for harvest. Values
placed on production of wheat, oats, rye, and barley in 1960 at $23.7
million was $4.9 million below the preceding year.
Smaller quantities of hay also cost farmers about $4 million as
compared to 1959, while smaller acreages and lower prices for
potatoes and sweet potatoes resulted in values for these crops about
$2.6 million below the preceding year.
Prices received by farmers for beef animals in 1960 averaged
somewhat below 1959, but marketings were quite heavy. Pork
prices averaged slightly above the 1959 level, also, with very heavy
marketings.
Broiler production of 154,300,000 birds was the highest of record,
and prices received for broilers in 1960 exceeded those in 1959 by
a small margin. Last year's broilers were valued at $81.5 million
compared with $68.9 million in 1959.
Marketings of eggs and milk also are expected to have produced
incomes equally as large as in 1959. Although estimates of income
from livestock and livestock products in 1960 have not been com-
pleted, it is expected that the total will exceed by a fairly substantial
margin the $297 million received from these commodities in 1959.
COXSERVATIOX AND DEVELOPMENT
Notable progress continues to be made in the conservation, devel-
opment and promotion of fuller and wiser use of North Carolina's
large store of natural resources. Dividends are being realized in
all sections of the State as a result of the more profitable ultiza-
tion of these resources, particularly in the renewable forestry field
where pulp and paper products continue to mount in importance.
While progress is noted in the conservation and development and
wiser use of these resources, it is realized by those engaged in these
fields of endeavor that the greatest potential of these natural
resources remains to be reached and that continuing efforts must
be made without abatement if satisfactory results are attained.
More than 200 area and local development groups are making
valuable and lasting contributions in state-wide efforts to provide
more industrial jobs for the people of North Carolina and thus bring
8 XniMii ('Ai;oi.i.\A ^Iamai.
about a better balMiico in tho State's economy and a higher per
capita income.
During the 195S-(iO biennium investments in new and expanded
manufacturing plants in North Carolina totaled $503,876,000; 64.567
new jobs were created; and 1209,833,000 added in new payrolls.
Investments in new and expanded manufacturing establishments
during the 1956-58 biennium totaled $381,880,000; 36,140 new jobs
created, and payrolls added amount to $112,994,000.
A State long noted for its leadership in the production of textile,
tobacco, and furniture products. North Carolina is becoming re-
nowned for the many diversified goods its approximate 7,300 manu-
facturing plants produce with tlaeir more than 500.000 employees
for the markets of the nation and world.
Value of the industrial output in North Carolina in 1959 was
listed by Industrial Development and Manufacturers Record, At-
lanta, Ga., at $9,161,000,000 as compared with $7,409,000,000 in 1958.
As a further illustration of the remarkable growth of industry
and its ability to produce products having high value, it is interest-
ing to note the output value of manufactured products in the State
in 1939 was only $1,421,000,000.
Textiles, tobacco products, food, and furniture continue to lead
in output and sales volume in North Carolina, but there is a steady
increase being shown in the modern science industries now operat-
ing in the State. The emphasis being placed upon research in
electronic, metallurgical, food processing and chemical industries
is receiving national and international attention. The number of
plants for processing of the several species of seafood taken from
State-controlled waters is increasing and there is mounting interest
being shown in the State's mineral resources, especially in the
periodical searches for oil in the coastal area.
North Carolina's more than 500,000 workers in industry in the
State continue to give industrial development groups the best kind
of ammunition to use in the continuing efforts to bring more in-
dustries to North Carolina and to expand existing plants.
It is a matter of record that almost half of the total amount
announced for investment in new and expanded plants in 1960 went
for expansion of existing facilities, thus adding weight to the con-
tention that North Carolina is a place where industry grows.
The adaptability, productivity and willingness of North Carolina
workers to learn their assigned tasks and to give a day's work for
The Statk 9
a day's pay give the State the best kind of advertising directed at
industrialists seeking new site locations in a State also noted for
good government, fair and equitable tax laws, and generally good
relations between management and labor.
As an illustration of the growth of industry in North Carolina
of the value of output of the State's manufacturing plants, the fol-
lowing table is submitted:

With the great emphasis on research, symbolized in the growing
Research Triangle of North Carolina, products made by the diversi-
fied industries now operating in the State range in effect from
aluminum and aircraft to zippers. Not only does the State lead the
nation in textile, tobacco, wooden household furniture, but it also
leads the South in brick manufacturing.
Examples of North Carolina's growing industrial diversification
are noted in the current manufacture in the State of boilers and
other metal products, cigarette paper, cellophane, electric equipment,
helicopters, aluminum windows and jalousies, electric blankets,
smoking pipes, wooden screws, missiles, pottery, particle and flake-
boards, fish nets, zippers, and a widening variety of lesser known
items.
North Carolina's 1,200 textile manufacturing plants provided
employment in 1959 for approximately 223,000 workers and pro-
duced products valued at $3,104,000,000. The State's 100 to-
bacco plants employed 39,000 and products produced had a value
of $2,321,000,000. Products having an output value of $355,-
000,000 were produced by 29,000 persons employed in the State's
200 or more apparel manufacturing plants.

The State's food processing industry continues to grow. Its
growth is reflected in the fact that the number of food processing
plants has increased to 900 largely as a result of concentrated efforts
made at local and State levels to make more profitable use of food,
fruits and seafood growth in the State. Approximately 33,000
persons were employed in food processing plants in the State in
1959, and they produced products having an output value of $723.-
000,000 as compared with $.^)52,000,000 in 1957 and $237,000,000 in
1947.
The furniture industry continues to grow. The number of plants
in North Carolina at the end of 1959 was approximately 500. In
1959 the 42,000 persons employed in these plants produced furniture
products having an output value of $520,000,000 as compared with
$376,000,000 in 1957 and $202,000,000 in 1947.
Steady growth is noted in the State's lumber industry. The 2,500
plants processing lumber and other products of North Carolina's
vast forest lands in 1959 provided employment for 35,000 persons
and produced products having an output value of $275,000,000 com-
pared with $218,000,000 in 1954 and $193,000,000 in 1947.
The State's tourist industry continues to grow. In 1959 an esti-
mated 23.3 million out-of-State people visited North Carolina to
view its numerous scenic attractions and to enjoy themselves gen-
erally in resting and relaxing. The State's travel industry in 1959
was valued at $773,000,000, an increase of 8.5 per cent over 1958.
More than 1,650,000 persons, an all time record, visited and used
North Carolina's 11 State Parks in 1960.
The commercial fishing industry, which provides a livelihood
in whole or in part for an estimated 25,000 persons, is being
developed in an orderly and scientific manner. Through its De-
partment of Conservation and Development, the State spent in
excess of $500,000 during the 1948-60 period for planting of seed
oysters and oyster shells in rehabilitation of the oyster industry,'
which suffered severely as a result of hurricanes of the past decade.
The value to fishermen of finfish and shellfish taken from the State's
inland waters in the 1958-60 biennium was $15,451,894 as compared
with $15,046,380 for the 1956-58 biennium.
Progress is being shown by the State's minerals industry. The
State contains almost 93 per cent of the nation's known reserves of
lithium. The most important mineral deposits are sand, stone, and
The State 11
gravel, mica, feldspar and clays. It leads the nation in production
of mica and feldspar. It is fifth in production of kaolin.
Two new divisions of the Department of Conservation and Devel-
opment were created by acts of the General Assembly of 1957 and
1959 and began functioning. One is the Division of Community
Planning, the other is the Geodetic Survey Division. They are pro-
viding long needed services in North Carolina.
Public Hkai.th In North Carolina
North Carolina has a vigorous and effective program of public
health.
The State Board of Health and the 71 local health departments
serving the 100 counties assure an alert concern for the health con-
ditions in all facilities serving the public. Basic State laws em-
power the health departments to inspect and regulate conditions
affecting health.
While there were various laws and statutes relating to public
health measures passed prior to that time, the State Board of
Health was created by the General Assembly of 1877, and has been
functioning, with changes from time to time, ever since. The
General Assembly of 1957 recodified all public health and related
laws of North Carolina. This was done for purposes of coordination
and clarification. Guilford has the distinction of being the first
county in the United States to inaugurate full-time county health
work June 20, 1911. The following year, Robeson became the first
purely rural county in the United States to take this step.
Compulsory immunization of children under six for poliomyelitis,
air pollution and environmental surveys, and the establishment of
a coordinated State Radiological Program illustrate some of the
aspects of North Carolina's progressive public health program. The
State published the nation's first Occupational Health Manual in
1961.
Nearly a million dollars a year is being spent on surgical, medical
and hospital service to handicapped children. We have a progres-
sive school-health coordinating unit and programs of service are
being carried on for the aged and for the chronically ill. Many
preventive services are rendered by the modern Laboratory Division
and by both the consultant staff of the State Board and by the
staffs of the local health departments.

Statk TTk.iiway Systems
On January 1. 19G0. the State had under its direct jurisdiction
71,344 miles of highways, roads and streets, a distance equivalent
to two and one half times around the world at the equator. This
vast mileage is almost 11 per cent of the gross length of all mileage
under State control in the entire Nation. The three basic systems
in this North Carolina network are as follows:
The Primary State Highway System in rural areas is made up
of the U. S., N. C. and Interstate numbered routes, and has a length
of 11,290 miles, substantially all hard surfaced. The largest of the
three systems is the Rural Secondary System of 57,210 miles, of
which 24.707 miles are paved — the remainder being surfaced with
stone, soil or other all weather material. There is more rural pav-
ing In North Carolina than in any other state except Texas, Cali-
fornia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. Some 96% of the State's
rural people live on, or within one mile of a paved highway or road.
In addition to these two rural systems, the State has jurisdiction
over 2,844 miles of streets which form a part of the State Highway
and Road Systems in Municipalities. Of this Municipal System,
2.593 miles are paved.
Combining the three systems, the State operates a network of
38,505 miles of paved and 32,839 miles of unpaved highways, roads
and streets. The State has direct jurisdiction over more mileage
than has any other road governing body in the nation. In terms of
size and population, no other state exceeds North Carolina In the
extent of road services provided for its people. There are no toll
roads, bridges or ferries in North Carolina.
Major emphasis is now being placed on modernizing many obso-
lete sections of the Primary System, and building the Interstate
Expressway System. Some 200 miles of the latter have already
been built and opened to traffic.
Since 1921, the entire Road and Highway Program of the State
has been financed exclusively from the gasoline tax, motor vehicle
license fees and Federal Aid, without recourse to property taxation
or aid from the General State Fund. During the past fiscal year
ending June 30, 1960, the State Highway Fund, including Federal
Aid, expended $173,489,058 for highway, road, and street construc-
tion, maintenance, betterments and improvements, including the
operation of the Motor Vehicle Department. Highway Patrol. High-

Rural Ei.fx'tuic and Tki.kphoxk Skkvick
Rural areas of North Carolina received little benefits from rural
electrification prior to 1935, which is often spoken of as the starting
point. At that time, only 1,884 miles of rural lines serving 11,.55S
farms were recorded by the North Carolina Rural Electritication
Authority, which was created in that year to secure electric service
for the rural areas. Today the Authority reports in operation 84,857
miles of rural lines serving 626,533 consumers. In addition to this,
there were 385 miles under construction or authorized for construc-
tion to serve 3,259 consumers. Electrification has contributed con-
siderably to the great progress in agricultural development over tin-
past few years. The electrified farm provides for comfort and health
in farm living through lighting, refrigeration, communication,
ranges, washing machines, freezers, plumbing and all other many
useful household electric appliances.
Electric service is essential to modern farm production. Elec-
tricity is used by farmers in many ways — yard and building lighting:
running water; poultry incubators, brooders, and feeders; livestock
feeding; milking; grain and hay driers, irrigation; and many other
electric-motor driven pieces of farm producing equipment. Elec-
tricity affords fire protection and the operation of many labor-
saving devices for the rural home and farm activities. Electric-
service is practically essential in types of farm production; for
example, the production of Grade A Milk.
The 1945 United States Census indicated that only 14,539 North
Carolina farms had telephone service. The desire and need in the
rural areas for communication, so essential to the wellbeing of the
people was so widespread that the 1945 General Assembly enacted
the Rural Telephone Act, charging the North Carolina Rural Elec-
trification Authority with the responsibility of assisting rural re.-;i-
dences in securing telephone service. Funds and personnel were
first assigned to the program in 1949, which might well be termed
the active beginning. Through the activities of the State Authority
and other State Agencies and as a result of cooperation on the part
of the telephone industry and the organization of a number of
member owned Telephone Membership Corpoi-ations, over four
14 North Carolina Manual
times as many farms now have telephone service as in 194 5. In
addition, approximately 160,000 rural nonfarm residences also
have service.
Public Schools
North Carolina provides a basic State-supported nine months pub-
lic school term, which is supplemented by the 174 local units.
Public school enrollment in 1959-60 was 1,105,677. There were 37,212
teachers and 2,101 principals and supervisors and 174 superintend-
ents. More than two-thirds of all general fund taxes collected by
the State are used for education. The State operates a bus fleet of
8,242 vehicles, transporting 537,358 children to the public schools.
Attendance is compulsory for children between ages 7 and 16. There
are 3,202 public school buildings and the total value of public school
property is $711,454,884.
Colleges and Universities
The University of North Carolina, chartered in 1789, was the
first State university to open its doors. The Greater University of
North Carolina is comprised of the University at Chapel Hill, State
College at Raleigh, and Woman's College at Greensboro. In all
there are 64 institutions of higher learning in the State. Twelve
are State-supported. Forty-seven are private or church-related.
Five are public institutions with some State support. There are 36
senior, 24 junior, 1 theological seminary, and 3 unclassified institu-
tions. Duke University in Durham is one of the most heavily en-
dowed institutions of higher learning in the world. Total university
and college enrollment in 1960-61 was 67,183.
THE STATE CAPITOL
The original State Capitol of North Carolina was destroyed b>
fire on June 21, 1831.
At the session of November, 1832, the Assembly resolved to
rebuild on the old site, and $50,000 was appropriated for the pur-
pose. Commissioners were appointed to have the work done. Tlie
rubbish was cleared away, the excavations made and the founda-
tions were laid. On July 4, 1833, the cornerstone was set in place.
After the foundations were laid the work progressed more
slowly, and it was so expensive that the appropriation was ex-
hausted. 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 contracted with David Paton to come to Raleigh
and superintend the work. Mr. Paton was an architect, who had
come from Scotland the year before. He was the builder, the archi-
tect, and designer.
The Legislature was compelled to make appropriations for the
work from time to time. The following is a table of the several
appropriations made:
Session of 1832-33 $ 50,000.00
Session of 1833-34 75,000.00
Session of 1834-35 75,000.00
Session of 1835 75,000.00
Session of 1836-37 120,000.00
Session of 1838-39 105,300.00
Session of 1840-41 31,374.46
Total $531,674.46
The stone with which the building was erected was the property
of the State. Had the State been compelled to purchase this ma-
terial the cost of the Capitol would have been considerably in-
creased.
In the summer of 18 40 the work was finished. At last, after
more than seven years, the sum of $531,67 4.46 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
15

$100,000, yet the people were satisfied. The building had been
erected with rigorous economy, and it was an object of great pride
to the people. Indeed, never was money better expended than in
the erection of this noble Capitol.
Description of the Capitol, Written by David Paton.
the Architect
'•The State Capitol is 160 feet in length from north to south
by 140 feet from east to west. The whole height is 97 V^ feet in the
center. The apex of pediment is 6 4 feet in height. The stylobate
is 18 feet in height. The columns of the east and west porticoes
are 5 feet 2% inches in diameter. An entablature, including block-
ing course, is continued around the building, 12 feet high.
"The columns and entablature are Grecian Doric, and copied
from the Temple of Minerva, commonly called the Parthenon,
which was erected in Athens about 500 years before Christ. An
octagon tower surrounds the rotunda, which is ornamented with
Grecian cornices, etc., and its dome is decorated at top with a
similar ornament to that of the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates.
commonly called the Lanthorn of Demosthenes.
"The interior of the Capitol is divided into three stories: First,
the lower story, consisting of ten rooms, eight of which are appro-
priated as offices to the Governor, Secretary, Treasurer, and Comp-
troller, each having two rooms of the same size — the one contain-
ing an area of 64 9 square feet, the other 528 square feet — the two
committee rooms, each containing 200 square feet and four clos-
ets; 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 2,5 4 5 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
18 . North Carolina Manual
of 2'31 square feet; of four 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 Octogan 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 HOUSE (New Legislative Building)
1959, c. 938; 1959, c. 1039
Work on the construction of a new Legislative Building, authoriz-
ed by the 1959 General Assembly, was begun the early part of 1961.
The building, commonly referred to as The State House, will
contain facilities necessary for the functioning of the General As-
sembly, including not only House and Senate chambers but adequate
committee meeting rooms, an office for each member of the Legis-
lature and offices for the various key employees of the House and
Senate.
The new building, which will contain 206,050 square feet of space,
is being erected across Halifax Street looking South to the State
Capitol. There will be a mall between it and the Capitol building.
The Commission anticipates the building will be completed and
ready for occupancy for the 1963 General Assembly.
Members of the State Legislative Building Commission are:
Thomas J. White, Chairman; B. I. Satterfield, Archie K. Davis,
Robert F. Morgan, A. E. Finley, Oliver R. Rowe and Edwin Gill.

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 blaclc let-
ters this inscription: "May 20th, 1775," and that below the star
there shall be a similar scroll containing in black letters the in-
scription: "April 12th, 1776."
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this 9th
day of March, A.D., 1885.
No change has been made in the flag since the passage of this
act. By an act of 190 7 it is provided:
"That the board of trustees or managers of the several State in-
stitutions and public buildings shall provide a North Carolina flag,
of such dimensions and materials as they may deem best, and the
same shall be displayed from a staff upon the top of each and
every such building at all times except during inclement weather,
and upon the death of any State officer or any prominent citizen
the Flag shall be put at half-mast until the burial of such person
shall have taken place.
"That the Board of County Commissioners of the several coun-
ties in this State shall likewise authorize the procuring of a Nort"h
Carolina flag, to be displayed either on a staff upon the top, or
draped behind the Judge's stand, in each and every courthouse in
the State, and that the State flag shall be displayed at each and
every term of court held, and on such other public occasions as
the Commissioners may deem proper." (Rev., s. 5321; 1885 c.
291; 1907, c. 838.)

1. Resolved. That whosoever directly or indirectly abetted or in

enemy to this country, to America, and to the inherent and in-
alienable rights of man.

hereby dissolve the political bands wiiich have connected us to the
mother country and hereby absohe ourselves from all allegiance

self-governing association under the control of no power other
than that of our God and the General Government of the Congress
to the maintenance of which independence we solemnly pledge to
each other our mutual cooperation, our lives, our fortunes, and
our most sacred honor.
4. Resolved, That as we now acknowledge the existence and con-
trol of no law or legal officer, civil or military within this County,
we do hereby ordain and adopt as a rule of life all, each and
every of our former laws — wherein nevertheless the Crown of
Great Britain never can be considered as holding rights, privileges,
immunities, or authority therein.
5. Resolved, That it is further decreed that all, each and every
Military Officer in this County is hereby reinstated in his former
command and authority, he acting conformably to these regula-
tions. And that every member present of this delegation shall
henceforth be a civil officer, viz., a justice of the peace, in the
character of a "committee man" to issue process, hear and deter-
mine all matters of controversy according to said adopted laws
and to preserve peace, union and harmony in said county, and
to use every exertion to spread the love of Country and fire of
freedom throughout America, until a more general and organized
governinent be established in this Province.
THE GREAT SEAL
The Constitution of North Carolina, Article III. section 16, re-
quiros that
"There shall be a seal of the State which shall be kept by the
Governor, and used by him as occasion may require, and shall be
called 'The Great Seal of the State of North Carolina.' All grants
and Commissions shall be issued in the name and by the authority
of the State of North Carolina, sealed with 'The Great Seal of the
State," signed by the Governor and countersigned by the Secretary
of State."
The use of a Great Seal for the attestation of important docu-
ments began with the institution of government in North Carolina.
There have been at various times nine different seals in use in the
colony and State.
The present Great Seal of the State of North Carolina is de-
scribed as follows:
"The Great Seal of the State of North Carolina is two and one-
quarter inches in diameter, and its design is a representation of
the figures of Liberty and Plenty, looking toward each other, but
not more than half fronting each other, and otherwise disposed, as
follows: Liberty, the first figure, standing, her pole with cap on it
in her left hand and a scroll with the word 'Constitution' inscribed
thereon in her right hand. Plenty, the second figure, sitting down,
her right arm half extended toward Liberty, three heads of wheat
in her right hand, and in her left the small end of her horn, the
mouth of which is resting at her feet, and the contents of horn
rolling out. In the exergon is inserted the words May 20, 1775,
above the coat of arms. Around the circumference is the legend
'The Great Seal of the State of North Carolina' and the motto
'Esse Quam Videri'." (Rev., s. 5339; Code ss. 3328, 3329; 1868-9,
c. 270, s. 35; 1883, c. 392; 1893, c. 145.)
30
THE STATE BIRD
By popular choice the Cardinal was selected for adoption as
our State Bird as of March 4, 1943. (S. L. 1943 c. 595; G. S.
145-2.)
This bird is sometimes called the Winter Redbird because it is
most conspicuous in winter and is the only "redbird" present at
that season. It is an all year round resident and one of the com-
monest birds in our gardens and thickets. It is about the size of a
Catbird with a longer tail, red all over, except that the throat and
region around the bill is black; the head is conspicuously crested
and the large stout bill is red; the female is much duller — the red
being mostly confined .to the crest, wings and tail. There are no
seasonal changes in the plumage.
The Cardinal is a fine singer, and wiiat is unusual among birds
the female is said to sing as well as the male, which latter sex
usually has a monopoly of that art in the feathered throngs.
The nest is rather an untidy affair built of weed stems, grass
and similar materials in a low shrub, small tree or bunch of briars,
usually not over four feet above the ground. The usual number of
eggs to a set is three in this State, usually four further North.
Possibly the Cardinal raises an extra brood down here to make
up the difference, or possibly he can keep up his normal population
more easily here through not having to face inclement winters
of the colder North. A conspicuous bird faces more hazards.
The Cardinal is by nature a seed eater, but he does not dislike
small fruits and insects.
33
THE HALIFAX RESOLUTION
Adopted by the I'roviiicial Congress of North Carolina in Session
at Halifax, April 1 2. 1776.
It aiipears to y(Mir ((ininiit tec that pursuant to the plan concerted
by the I'.ritish Ministry for subjugating America, the King and
Parliament of Great Britain have usurped a power over the per-
sons and properties of the people unlimited and uncontrolled; and
disregarding their humble petitions for peace, liberty, and safety,
liave 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 destroying the people, and committing the most horrid devasta-
tions on tlie couniry. The Governors in different Colonies have de-
clared protection to slaves who should imbrue their hands in the
blood of their masters. That ships belonging to America are de-
clared prizes of war and many of them have been violently seized
and confiscated. In consequence of all of which multitudes of the
people have been destroyed, or from easy circumstances reduced
to the most lamentable distress.
Axi) WiiEKKAs, The moderation, hitherto manifested by the United
Colonies and their sincere desire to be reconciled to the mother
country on constitutional principles, have procured no mitigation
of the aforesaid wrongs and usurpations, and no hopes remain
of obtaining redress by those means alone which have been
hitherto tried, your committee are of opinion that the House
should enter into the following resolve, to wit:
Resolved, That the delegates for this Colony in the Continental
Congress be 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 dele-
gates from time to time (under the direction of a general repre-
sentation thereof), to meet the delegates of the other Colonies for
such purposes as shall be hereafter pointed out.
34
NAME OF STATE AND NICKNAMES
In 16 29 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 Betv/een the States, so the story goes, that the
column supporting the North Carolina troops was driven from the
field. After the battle the North Carolinians, who had successfully
fought it out alone, were greeted from the passing derelict regi-
ment with the question: "Any more tar down in the Old North
State, boys?" Quick as a flash came the answer: "No; not a bit;
old Jeff's bought it all up." "Is that so; what is he going to do
with it?" was asked. "He is going to put it on you'uns heels to
make you stick better in the next fight." Creecy relates that Gen-
eral Lee, hearing of the incident, said: "God bless the Tar Heel
boys," and from that they took the name. — Adapted from Grand-
father Tales of North Carolina by R. B. Creecy and Histories of
North Carolina Regiments, Vol. Ill, by Walter Clark.
The State Motto
The General Assembly of 18 93 (chapter 145) adopted the words
"Esse Quam Videri" as the State's motto and directed that these
words with the date "2*0 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.
Curiosity has been aroused to learn the origin of our State
motto. It is found in Cicero in his essay on Friendship (Cicero de
Amicitia, Chap. 26.)
35
3G NoKTii Cauolina Manual
It is a little singulai' tliat until the act of 189:! the sovereign
State of North Carolina had no motto since its declaration of in-
dependence. It was one of the very few states which did not have
a motto and the only one of the original thirteen without one.
(Rev., s. 5320; 1893, c. 145; G. S. 144-2.)
The State Colors
The General Assembly of 1945 declared Red and Blue of shades
appearing in the North Carolina State Flag and the American
Flag as the official State Colors. (Session Laws, 1945, c. 878;
G. S. 144-6.)
The State Flower
The General Assembly of 1941 designated the dogwood as the
State flower. (Public Laws, 1941, c. 289; G. S. 145-1.)
The State's Toast
Officially adopted as the toast of North Carolina by the General
Assembly of 1957. (Session Laws, 1957, c. 777.)
Here's to the land of the long leaf pine,
The summer land where the sun doth shine.
Where the weak grow strong and the strong grow great.
Here's to "Down Home," the Old North State!
Here's to the land of the cotton bloom white.
Where the scuppernong perfumes the breeze at night,
Where the soft southern moss and jessamine mate,
'Neath the murmuring pines of the Old North State!
Here's to the land where the galax grows,
Where the rhododendron's rosette glows.
Where soars Mount Mitchell's summit great ,
In the "Land of the Sky," in the Old North State!
Here's to the land where maidens are fair.
Where friends are true and cold hearts rare.
The near land, the dear land whatever fate.
The blest land, the best land, the Old North State!

CONSTITUTION OF THE
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA
PREAMBLE
We, the people of the State of North Carolina, grateful to
Almighty God, the Sovereign Ruler of Nations, for the preserva-
tion of the American Union and the existence of our civil, political
and religious liberties, and acknowledging our dependence upon
Him for the continuance of those blessings to us and our posterity,
do, for the more certain security thereof, and for the better gov-
ernment of this State, ordain and establish this Constitution:
ARTILE I
DECLARATIOX OF EIGHTS
That the great, general and essential principals of liberty and
free government may be recognized and established, and that the
relations of this State to the Union and Government of the United
States, and those of the people of this State to the rest of the
American people may be defined and affirmed, we do declare:
Section 1. The equality and rights of persons. That we hold it
to be self-evident that all persons are created equal; that they
are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights;
that among these are life, liberty, the enjoyment of the fruits of
Their own labor, and the pursuit of happiness.
Sec. 2. Political poiver and government. That all political power
is vested in, and derived from, the people; all government of right
originates from the people, is founded upon their will only, and is
instituted solely for the good of the whole.
Sec. 3. Internal government of the State. That the people of
this state have the inherent, sole and exclusive right of regulat-
ing the internal government and police thereof, and of altering and
abolishing their Constitution and form of government whenever
it may be necessary to their safety and happiness; but every such
right should be exercised in pursuance of law, and consistently
with the Constitution of the United States.
41
42 XoiMii Cakoi.i.xa Mantai.
Sec. 4. Tliiit 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 tliat all attempts, from
whatever source or upon whatever pretext, to dissolve said Union
or to sever said Nation, ought to be resisted with tlic whole power
of the State.
Sec. 5. Of allcdiance to the United States Gorernnient. That
every citizen of this State owes paramount allegiance to the Con-
stitution and Government of the United States, and that no law or
ordinance of the State in contravention or subversion thereof can
have any binding force.
Sec. 6. Public debt; bonds issued under Ordinance of Conven-
tion of 1S6S, '6S-'G9, '69-10, declared invalid; exception. The State
shall never assume or pay, or authorize the collection of any debt
or obligation, express or implied, incurred in aid of insurrection or
rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or
emancipation of any slave; nor shall the General Assembly assume
or pay, or authorize the collection of any tax to pay, either directly
or indirectly, expressed or implied, any debt or bond incurred, or
issued, by authority of the Convention of the year one thou:-;and
eight hundred and sixty-eight, nor any debt or bond incurred or
issued by the Legislature of the year one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-eight, either at it^ special session of the year one thou-
sand eight hundred and sixty-eight, or at its regular sessions of
the years one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight and one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-nine, and one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-nine and one thousand eight hundred and
seventy, except the bonds issued to fund the interest on the old
debt of the State, unless the proposing to pay the same shall have
first been submitted to the people and by them ratified by the
vote of a majority of all the qualified voters of the State, at a
regular election held for that purpose.
Sec. 7. Exclusive emoluments, et cetera. No person or set of
persons are entitled to exclusive or separate emoluments or privi-
leges from the community but in consideration of public services.
Sec. 8. The legislative, executive and judicial poirers distinct.
The legislative, executive, and supreme judicial powers of the
government ought to be forever separate and distinct from each
other.
COXSTITL TlOX 43
Sec. 9. Of the iWKer of suspending Imvs. All power of sus-
pending laws, or the execution of laws, by any authority, without
the consent of the representatives of the people, is injurious to
their rights, and ought not to be exercised.
Sec. 10. Elections free. All elections ought to be free.
Sec. 11. In criminal prosecutions. In all criminal prosecutions,
every person charged with crime has the right to be informed of
the accusation and to confront the accusers and witnesses with
other testimony, and to have counsel for defense, and not be com-
pelled to give self-incriminating evidence, or to pay costs, jail
fees, or necessary witness fees of the defense, unless found guilty.
Sec. 12. Ansicers to criminal charges. No person shall be put
to answer any criminal charge except as hereinafter allowed, but
by indictment, presentment, or impeachment. But any person,
when represented by counsel, may. under such regulations as the
Legislature shall prescribe, waive indictment in all except capital
cases.
Sec. 13. Right of jury. No person shall be convicted of any
crime but by the unanimous verdict of a jury of good and lawful
persons in open court. The Legislature may, however, provide
other means of trial, for petty misdemeanors, with the right of
appeal.
Sec. 14. Excessive hail. Excessive bail should not be required,
nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel or unusual punishments
inflicted.
Sec. 15. General trarrants. 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 imprison-
ment for debt in this State, except in cases of fraud.
Sec. 17. No persons taken, etc., hut hy law of land. No person
ought to be taken, imprisoned or disseized of his freehold, liber-
ties, or privileges, or outlawed or exiled, or in any manner de-
prived 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 in(iuire into the hiwfiilness
44 NoiiXH Cakolixa Manual
thereof, aud to remove the same, if unlawful; and such remedy
ought not to be denied or delayed.
Sec. 19. Controversies at law respecting propei'ty. In all con-
troversies at law respecting property, the ancient mode of trial
by jury is one of the best securities of the rights of the people,
and ought to remain sacred and inviolable. No person shall be
excluded from jury service on account of sex.
Sec. 20. Freedom of tJie press. The freedom of the press is one
of the great bulwarks of liberty, and therefore ought never to be
restrained, but every individual shall be held responsible for the
abuse of the same.
Sec. 21. Habeas corpus. The privilege of the writ of habeas
corpus sliall not be suspended.
Sec. 22. Property qualification. As political rights and privi-
leges are not dependent upon, or modified by, property, therefore
no property qualification ought to affect the right to vote or hold
office.
Sec. 23. Representation and taxation. The people of the State
ought not to be taxed, or made subject to the payment of any
impost or duty without the consent of themselves, or their repre-
sentatives in General Assembly, freely given.
Sec. 24. Militia and the right to bear arms. A well regulated
militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right
of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; and,
as standing armies in time of peace are dangerous to liberty, they
ought not to be kept up, and the military should be kept under
strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power. Nothing
herein contained shall justify the practice of carrying concealed
weapons, or prevent the Legislature from enacting penal statutes
against said practice.
Sec. 25. Right of the people to assemble together. The people
have a right to assemble together to consult for their common
good, to instruct their representatives, and to apply to the Legis-
lature for redress of grievances. But secret political societies are
dangerous to the liberties of a free people, and should not be
tolerated.
Sec. 26. Religious li^berty. All persons have a natural and
inalienable right to worship Almighty God according to the dic-
tates of their own consciences, and no huinan authority should.
COASTITUTION 45
in any case whatever, control or interfere witli the rights of
conscience.
Sec. 27. Education. The people have a right to the privilege of
education, and it is the duty of the State to guard and maintain
that right.
Sec. 28. Elections should he frequent. For redress of griev-
ances, and for amending and strengthening the laws, elections
should be often held.
Sec. 29. Recurrence to fundamental principles. A frequent re-
currence to fundamental principles is absolutely necessary to pre-
serve the blessings of liberty.
Sec. 30. Hereditary emoluments, etc. No hereditary emolu-
ments, 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 laics. Retrospective laws, punishing acts
committed before the existence of such laws, and by them only
declared criminal, are oppressive, unjust and incompatible with
liberty; wherefore no ex post facto law ought to be made. No
law taxing retrospectively sales, purchases, or other acts previous-
ly done, ought to be passed.
Sec. 33. Slavery prohibited. Slavery and involuntary servitude,
otherwise than for crime, whereof the parties shall have been
duly convicted, shall be, and are hereby, forever prohibited within
the State.
Sec. 34. State boundaries. The limits and boundaries of the
State shall be and remain as they now are.
Sec. 35. Courts shall be open. All courts shall be open; and
every person for an injury done him in his lands, goods, person,
or reputation, shall have remedy by due course of law, and right
and justice administered without sale, denial, or delay.
Sec. 36. Soldiers in time of peace. No soldier shall, in time of
peace, be quartered in any house without the consent of the owner;
nor in time of war but in a manner prescribed by law.
Sec. 37. Other rights of the people. This enumeration of rights
shall not be construed to impair or deny others retained by the
people; and all i)owers not herein delegated remain with the
people.

THE AMERICAN'S CREED
I believe in the United States of America, as a government of
the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are
derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a re-
public; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect
union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of
freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American
patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it
is my duty to my country to love it, to support its constitution,
to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all
enemies.
(The American's Creed by William Tyler Page was adopted by
an act of Congress, April 6, 1918.)
THE AMERICAN FLAG, ITS ORIGIN
In 177 5, the Philadelphia Troop of Light Horse carried a stand-
ard with thirteen alternate blue and silver stripes in the upper
left-hand corner. At Cambridge on January 2, 1776, Washington
without authorization of the Continental Congress raised a flag
consisting of thirteen alternate white and red stripes with the
crosses of St. George and St. Andrew in a blue field in the upper
left-hand corner. It was called the '-Union Flag," "Grand Union
Flag," and the "Continental Flag," and was employed until dis-
placed by the Stars and Stripes adopted by the Continental Con-
gress.
The beautiful tradition that Betsy Ross, as early as June 1776,
made a Stars and Stripes flag from a pencil sketch supplied by
Washington but changed the points of the stars from six to five,
has become a classic. Historians doubt its accuracy. Half a dozen
localities claim to have been the place where the Stars and Stripes
was first used. Within New York State such contention has been
for Fort Ann on July 8, Fort Stanwix on August 3, Bennington
on August 13, and Saratoga on September 19, 1777. The flag with
thirteen stripes and thirteen stars, authorized on June 14, 1777,
continued to be used as the national emblem until Congress passed
the following act, which President Washington signed:
"That from and after May 1, 1795, the flag of the United States
be fifteen stripes, alternate red and white; and that the union be
fifteen stars, white in a blue field."
81
82 Noum Caiu)1.i.\a Mamai,
This action wass necessitated !)>■ ili" adinissioii of tlir States of
Wrmont and Kentucky to the I'nion.
The liag of 1795 had the stars arranged in three rows of five
each instead of in a circle, and served for 2;^ years.
W'itli the admission of more new states, however, it l)ecanie
apparent tliat tlir 1795 flag would have to he further modified;
litMice in ISIS a law was passed by Congress providing:
■That from and after the fourth day of July next, the fiag
of the United States be thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate red
and white; that the union have twenty stars, white in ;t blue field.
"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 talve effect on the Fourth of July next succeeding su(;h
admission."
Since 181S additional stars have been added until today tliere
are 50 on the flag. No law has been passed to designate liow the
stars shall be arranged. At one time tliey formed a design of a
larger star. Now they form five rows of six stars each and four
rows of five stars each.
Betsy Ross, it is now said, lived at 233 Arch Street, Pliiladelphia,
and not at 239. She made flags, but says Theodore D. Gottlieb,
she never made the first Stars and Stripes. He adds: "The Depart-
ment of State, the War and Navy departments, the Historical
Sites Commission of Philadelphia and other official bodies repudi-
ate ihe legend. The book and pamphlet material available is over-
whelmingly against the legend.
"The story arose for the first time on March 14, IS 70, when
William J. Canby read a paper before the Pennsylvania Historical
Society in which he states that in 183 6, wlien 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
daugliter of Betsy, he wrote out the notes as he remembered the
conversation.
"Nothing further was doni' until 18 70 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 American Flac; 83
■'The legend grew to strength from 18S8 to 189 3 when pro-
moters secured an option on the so-called Flag House.
"iModern 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 en buildings and on stationary flagstaffs

ously.

below, should be used for covering a speaker's desk, draping the
front of a platform, and for decoration in general.

costume or athletic uniform. Advertising signs should not be fas-
tened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.
The Americax Flag 87
(j) The flag, when it is in such condition lluit it is no lonsei" 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 mo-
ment 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, retaining 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 I'ag, "I pledge al-
legiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the
Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all," 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 po-^ition
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, men removing the headdress. Per-
sons 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,
modified, or repealed, or additional rules with respect thereto may
be prescribed, by the Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy
of the United States, whenever he deems it to be appropriate or
desirable; and any such 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 under God, indivisible,
With liberty and justice for all."
The Pledge to the Flag, according to a report of the Historical
Committee of the United States Flag Association (May 18, 1939),
was written by Francis Bellamy (August 1892), a member of the
editorial staff of The Youth's Companion, in Boston, Massachu-
setts. It was first repeated at the exercises in connection with
the celebration of Columbus Day (October 12, 1892. Old Style).
The idea of this national celebration on Columbus Day was largely
that of James B. Upham, one of the junior proprietors of The Youth's
Companion.
Francis Hopkinson, a signer of the Declaration of Independence,
was the designer of the Stars and Stripes — not Betsy Ross of
Philadelphia, who made flags. He also designed the first Great
Seal of the United States, and a number of coins and several items
of paper currency in the early days of the Republic.
Hopkinson, born in Philadelphia (September 21, 1737), and a
graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, was the firs!: native
American composer of a secular song, "My Days Have Been So
Wondrous Free." He was a lawyer and later a judge in New Jersey
and then in Pennsylvania. He died in Philadelphia (May 9, 1791).
His portrait, painted by himself, hangs in the rooms of the Penn-
sylvania Historical Society, Philadelphia. He played the organ and
harpsichord.
THE CAPITOL AT WASHINGTON
The Capitol building in Washington, D. C, is situated on a
plateau 88 feet above the level of the Potomac River and covers
an area of 153,112 square feet, or approximately three and one-
half acres. Its length, from north to south, is 751 feet, four inches;
its width, including approaches, is 3 50 feet; and its location is
described as being in latitude 38°53'20.4" N. and longtitude
70°00'35.7" W. from Greenwich. Its height above the base line on
the east front to the top of the Statue of Freedom is 287 feet,
five and one-half inches. The dome is built of iron, and the aggre-
gate weight of material used in its construction is 8,9 0 9,2 00
pounds.
The Statue of F'reedom surmounting the dome is of bronze and
weighs 14,9 8 5 pounds. It was modeled by Thomas Crawford,
father of Francis Marion Crawford, the novelist, in Rome, and
the plaster model shipped to this country. It was cast in bronze
at the shops of Clark Mills, on the Bladensburg Road, near Wash-
ington. The cost of the casting and the expenses in connection
were $20,796.82, and the sculptor was paid $3,000 for the plaster
model. It was erected and placed in its present position December
2, 1863.
The grounds have had an area of 5 8.8 acres, at one time a part
of Cern Abby Manor, and at an early date were occupied by a
subtribe of the Algonquin Indians known as the Powhatans, whose
council house was then located at the foot of the hill. By sub-
sequent purchase of ground at the North of the Capitol and at
the west of the new House Office building the area of the grounds
has been increased to 139 1/^ acres.
The Rotunda is 9 7 feet 6 inches in diameter, and its height from
the floor to the top of the canopy is ISO feet, 3 inches.
The Senate Chamber is 113 feet, 3 inches, in length by 8 0 feet,
3 inches, in width and 3 6 feet in height. The galleries will ac-
commodate 68 2 persons.
The Representatives' Kail is 139 feet in length by 93 feet in
width and 3 6 feet in height.
The room, until 1935 the meeting place of the Supreme Court,
was, until 18 59, occupied as the Senate Chamber. Previous to that

as a law library.
Tin ('ai)itol has a floor area of 14 acres, and 430 rooms are de-
voted to office, committee, and storage purposes. There are 14,518
square feet of skylights, 67 9 windows, and 5 50 doorways.
The dome receives light through 108 windows, and from the
architect's office to the dome there are 365 steps, one for each day
of the year.
The southeast cornerstone of the original building was laid Sep-
tember 18, 1793, by President Washington, with Masonic cere-
monies. It is constructed of sandstone from quarries on Aquia
Creek, Va. The original designs were prepared by Dr. William
Thornton, and the work was done under the direction of Stephen
H. Hallet, James Hoban, George Hadfield, and B. H. Latrobe,
architects.
The north wing was finished in 1800 and the south wing in 1811.
A wooden passageway connected them. On August 24, 1814, the
interior of both wings was destroyed by fire, set by the British.
The damage to the building was immediately repaired.
In 1818 the central portion of the building was commenced
under the architectural superintendence of Charles Bullfinch. The
original building was finally completed in 1827. Its cost, including
the grading of the grounds, alterations, and repairs, up to 1827,
was $2,433,844.13.
The cornerstone of the extensions was laid on the Fourth of
July, 1851, by President Fillmore, Daniel Webster officiating as
orator. This work was prosecuted under the architectural direc-
tion of Thomas V. Walter until 18 65, when he resigned, and it was
completed under the supervision of Edward Clark. The material
used in the walls is white marble from the quarries of Lee, Massa-
chusetts, and that in the columns from the quarries from Cokeys-
ville. Maryland. The House extension was first occupied for legis-
lative purposes December 16, 1857, and the Senate January 4,
1859.
The House office building was begun in 19 0.") and occupied on
Jantiary 10, 1908; later a story on top was added. The Senate
office building was started in 1906 and occupied on March 5, 1909.
The House building cost, with site, $4,860,155; the Senate struc-
ture. $5,019,251.

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
(Unanimously Adopted in Congress, July 4, 1776, at Philadelphia)
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for
one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected
them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth,
the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and
of Nature's God entitles them, a decent respect to the opinions of
mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel
them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are creat-
ed equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain in-
alienable Rights; that among these are Life, Liberty and the pur-
suit of Happiness. That, to secure these rights. Governments are
instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent
of the governed; That, whenever any Form of Government be-
comes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to
alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its
foundations on such principles, and organizing its powers in such
forms, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and
Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long
established should not be changed for light and transient causes;
and, accordingly, all experience hath shewn, that mankind are
more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right
themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invari-
ably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under abso-
lute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such
Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies, and such
is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former
Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great
Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all hav-
ing in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over
these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid
world.
H9 has refused his assent to Laws, the most wholesome and
necessary for the public good.
92
Declaration of Independence 93
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and
pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his
Assent should be obtained; and, when so suspended, he has utterly
neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of
large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the
right of Representation in the Legislature — a right inestimable to
them, and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, un-
comfortable and distant from the depository of their public Rec-
ords, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with
his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing
with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause
others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of
Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exer-
cise; the State remaining, in the meantime, exposed to all the
dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States for
that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreign-
ers; refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither,
and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing
his assent to laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure
of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither
swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their sub-
stance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace. Standing Armies
without the Consent of Our Legislature.
He has affected to render the Military independent of, and
superior to, the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction
foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws;
giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For fiuartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
94 North Cauolina Manual
Kor iirotect iiii; tlu'in, 1j\' a mock Tridl, fi'oin i)Uiiishiiieiit iov any
Murders which they should coinmit on the inhabitants of these
States:
For cuftinK oft" our Trade with all parts of the world;
For imjjosing 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 i)retended
offenses:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbor-
ing Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and
enlarging its Boundaries, so as to render it at once an example
and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into
these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable
Laws, and altering fundamentally, the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves
invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, oy declaring us out of his
Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, l)uiiit our towns,
and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mer-
cenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny,
already begun with circumstances of Cruelty and perfidy scarcely
paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the
Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow-Citizens, taken captive on the
high Seas, to bear Anns against their Country, to become the exe-
cutioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by
their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has en-
deavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merci-
less Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undis-
tinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Re-
dress in the most humble terms; Our repeated Petitions have been
answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is
thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to
be the ruler of a free people.
DECLAHATION of IXDICPKXnKNCK 95
Nor have we been wanting in attention to otir British hrsthren.
We have warned them from time to time ot attempts by their
legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We
have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and
settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and
magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our com-
mon kindred to disavow these usurpations, which inevitably inter-
rupt our connections with correspondence. They, too, have been
deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, there-
fore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation,
and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind — Enemies in War,
in Peace Friends.
We, TiiKUEEoKE, the Representatives of the United States of
America, in General Congress Assembled; appealing to the Su-
preme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do,
in the Name and by authority of the good People of these Colonies,
solemnly publish and declare. That these United Colonies are, and
of Right ought to be free and independent States; that they are
Absolved from All Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all
political connection between them and the State of Great Britain
is, and ought to be, totally dissolved; and that as Free and Inde-
pendent Htates, they have full power to levy War, conclude Peace,
contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts
and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for
the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the pro-
tection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other
our Lives, (uir Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

PART II
CENSUS
POPULATION OF THE STATE OF
NORTH CAROLINA
Eighteenth Census of the United States: 1960
The population of North Carolina's urban places continued to
grow faster than that of the rural areas between 1950 and 1960,
according to the eighteenth decennial census, issued by Robert W.
Burgess, Director of the Bureau of the Census, Department of
Commerce.
Final figures show that the urban population increased from
1,368,101 in 1950 to 1,801,921 in 1960, or 31.6 per cent, while the
rural population increased from 2,693,828 in 1950 to 2,754,234 in
1960 or an increase of only 2.2 per cent. The final count of the
Eighteenth Census for the State on April 1, 1960, was 4,556,155
compared to 4,061,929 in 1950, or an increase of 12.2 per cent.
Urban residents accounted for 39.5 per cent of the State's popula-
tion in 1960 as compared with 33.7 per cent in 1950. Rural areas
in 1960 accounted for 60.5 per cent of the total population. The
Census Bureau considei's as urban areas the incorporated places of
2,500 or more, or unincorporated places of 2,500 or more located
outside urbanized areas. The remaining territory is classified as
rural.
There were 35 incorporated places of 10,000 or more in 1960,
Five of these (Chapel Hill, Jacksonville, Lenoir, Lumberton and
Roanoke Rapids) reached that size since 1950. Charlotte remains
the State's largest city with a population of 201,564, followed in
order by Greensboro with 119,574 and Winston-Salem with 111,135.
According to final figures of the 1960 census 63 of the counties
gained in population. Onslow County showed the greatest gain with
an increase of 96.7 per cent. Cumberland County placed second
with an increase of 54.6 per cent while Mecklenburg was third with
a 38.1 per cent gain.
The first census of North Carolina was taken in 1790, returning
a population of 393,751. The population has shown an increase
at every census since that time. The population passed 1,000,000
between 1860 and 1870, 2,000,000 between 1900 and 1910, 3,000,000
between 1920 and 1930, 4,000,000 between 1940 and 1950, and
4,500,000 between 1950 and 1960. The present population represents
a density of 86.4 inhabitants per square mile. North Carolina's
total area in square miles is 52,712. Land area is 49,412 square
miles; water area is 3,570 square miles.
Table 1 presents the figures for counties and for incorporated
places of 10,000 or more, and Table 2 for incorporated places of
less than 10,000. 121

STATE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM FOR
1960
The Democrats of North Carolina, duly assembled in convention
in Raleigh on May 19, 1960, endorse the record of the Party in
North Carolina and take pride in the accomplishments of the Party
in the fields of education, health, welfare, agriculture, roads, and
the many other essential phases of North Carolina's progressive
and enlightened State and local government. The various depart-
ments of State government, under the wise direction of dedi-
cated members of the Democratic party, are rendering notable
service to North Carolina citizens and local governmental services
of similar quality are being directed by loyal members of the
Party with the result that government in North Carolina on all
levels is acknowledged nationally for its integrity, progressive-
ness, and responsiveness to the needs of the people. We dedicate
our Party to the continuation and the improvement of this proud
record.
The Democrats of North Carolina offer the following as the
Platform of the Democratic Party of North Carolina for 1960-
1961:
THE EXECUTIVE, JUDICIAL AND LEGISLATIVE BRANCHES
OF NORTH CAROLINA GOVERNMENT
Believing in the wisdom of separation of the executive, judicial,
and legislative functions, the Democratic Party in North Carolina
stands steadfast in its support of this principle.
Our Party, entrusted for more than half a century with the
governorship of North Carolina, takes tremendous pride in the
record of our Democratic governors, and in this Convention, the
Party endorses the dedicated, progressive, and vigorous leadership
of Governor Luther H. Hodges. Under his guidance, the Executive
Department has given leadership to our people and successfully
advocated many major governmental improvements including: an
outstanding and highly productive industrial development program
for the entire State, new emphasis on agricultural diversification,
food processing and more complete utilization of forest products,
the creation of the Business Development Corporation, the estab-
lishment of the Research Triangle, revision of the tax laws, a State
minimum wage, new judicial districting and a study of the judicial
139
140 North Carolina Manual
system, creation of the Board of Higher Education, reorganization
of the State Highway Commission, authorization of a new legisla-
tive building, separation of the State Prison Department from the
State Highway Commission, establishment of the Department of
Administration, establishment of the Department of Water Re-
sources, development of the community college program, a pro-
gram to stop erosion on the Outer Banks, and increased appropria-
tions for public schools, higher education and mental institutions,
including expansion of physical facilities. It is an administration
in the true tradition of democracy and of the Democratic Party
in North Carolina.
Our North Carolina Judiciary, preponderantly of the Democratic
Party, has a proud and distinguished record of impartial and wise
administration of the judicial function. The protection of the
rights of the individual is one of the basic foundations of demo-
cratic government, and through an enlightened judiciary and fair
and impartial law enforcement agencies, our citizens' rights are
best guaranteed. The Democratic Party of North Carolina reiter-
ates its support of a free and independent judiciary, and in the
continuation of the election, by popular vote, of the judges of our
Superior and Supreme Courts. We further pledge the Party to
continuous study of the judiciary system in North Carolina to the
end that it may be revised to serve its function to the greatest
advantage of our citizens.
The great majority of the members of the North Carolina Gen-
eral Assembly are members of the Democratic Party. In a legisla-
tive body uniquely powerful because of the absence of a constitu-
tionally granted veto power to the Chief Executive, they have
legislated carefully and wisely for the citizens of our State. They
have had the courage and the foresight to enact laws which have
enhanced the well being of North Carolinians, strengthened and
kept our government modern and insured North Carolina's leader-
ship among the states. The Democratic Party is proud of the
legislative record of its members and pledges the efforts of Demo-
cratic legislators in the future for the best interest of all the
citizens of North Carolina.
EDUCATION
Being persuaded that the continued growth and prosperity of
our State and very security of our Nation require that our young
Democratic Platform 141
people be provided with the best education our State can atford,
and reaffirming our philosophy that it is the duty of the State to
provide each child opportunity for an education sufficient to equip
him for enlightened, productive and remunerative citizenship, we
pledge the support of our Party to a constantly improving and
steadily expanding program of public education, equipped to ele-
vate the living standards and enrich the general learning of our
youth, to maintaining vocational facilities, and special facilities
and programs for the exceptionally talented, the handicapped and
the slow learners and to regular re-examination of our teaching-
methods, equipment and personnel to assure that professional
qualifications and remuneration of school personnel are of a stand-
ard equal to the demands of our scientific and technological age.
HIGHER EDUCATION
Believing that it is the duty of our State to provide for every
qualified youth in the State opportunity for higher education, our
Party pledges its continued support of the various State institu-
tions of higher learning and the development of community college
program to the end that they, together with private educational
institutions of higher learning, which are making such a tre-
mendous contribution in this field, may fulfill our ultimate aim of
universal higher education for our qualified youth.
HEALTH
The Democratic Party pledges itself to support legislation and
to develop programs within the means of the State which will pre-
vent and alleviate mental and physical disease.
In this connection, we advocate:
(1) The continued development of a strong and progressive
public health service;
(2) The maintenance of adequate hospital facilities and per-
sonnel for the treatment of the mentally ill and retarded;
(3) The continuation of close cooperation between State, local
and Federal agencies working towards construction of more
adequate hospitals for treatment of physical suffering, and
(4) The encouragement of private charitable institutions having
as their object the treatment of diseases of the mind and
body.
142 North Carolina Manual
AGRICULTURE
Vv e recognize agiicuiture as the industry most basic to human
survival. We deplore the financial condition of our farmers as a
result of seven years of Republican administration and mis-admin-
istration.
We realize the urgent need of a national farm program designed
to assure fair and adequate returns to our farmers for their labor
and investment. We advocate enabling legislation for keeping pro-
duction in line with demand for all the variety of farm commodi-
ties produced in this Nation. America's capacity for agricultural
production and its bountiful stores of food and fiber represent our
most formidable weapon of defense against foreign aggression
and are vital to the preservation of our domestic tranquility and
the welfare of all our people. Therefore, we endorse legislation de-
signed to maintain adequate stockpiles of agricultural commodi-
ties to meet emergencies in peace or war; we urge that such
legislation be so framed and administered that it will be clearly
understood by the public as necessary for our national security
and not erroneously regarded as a farm subsidy.
We also advocate:
(1) Continuing emphasis on agricultural research at both State
and National levels with a view to future improvements of
production and marketing efficiency.
(2) Increased efforts in the development of new uses and ex-
panding markets for farm commodities both at home and
abroad, and the promotion of better marketing practices
and facilities.
(3) Support of adequate agricultural credit facilities to make
it possible for farmers to buy their own farms, to invest in
new facilities and equipment when these are indicated to
meet a changing of pattern of operation and to finance
their production at reasonable rates of interest.
(4) Continuation of the Rural Electrification Administration
and the Rural Telephone Program under vigorous, progres-
sive policies which resulted in their success under Demo-
cratic administrations.
ROADS
North Carolina, under the leadership of the Democratic Party,
has earned a nationwide reputation as "the good roads State," and
Democratic Platform 143
believing that a system of good roads is essential to the orderly
development and progress of every segment of our economy, the
Party will preserve its reputation by supplying the means and
changes necessary to keep North Carolina progressive in this field
of public service.
We re-emphasize the fairness and the necessity of acquainting
the people as far ahead as possible with the location of highways,
and maintaining a uniform procedure for the acquisition of high-
way right-of-way.
The Democratic Party will continue its efforts to provide ade-
quate highway facilities for all the people in every section of
North Carolina.
We recognize the State's primary responsibility for protection
of life and property on the highways of our State. To meet this
responsibility, we pledge continued support to the program which
has made North Carolina recognized as the Nation's leader in the
field of highway safety and traffic law enforcement.
PRISON, PAROLE AND PROBATION
The Democratic Party endorses continuous improvement of
prison administration, including rehabilitation and education pro-
grams designed to return prisoners to society as self-supporting,
law-abiding citizens and the expanded enlightened use of parole
and probation in dealing with those citizens convicted of crimes.
STATE AND LOCAL EMPLOYEES
The Democratic Party recognizes that loyal, capable State and
local governmental employees guarantee the principles and prac-
tices of good government.
The Democratic Party in North Carolina believes that the staff-
ing of government functions to assure superior service to the
citizens of North Carolina should be based upon standards of em-
ployment that assure: quality employees, appointments and promo-
tions based on merit, salaries and conditions of employment com-
parable to those in business and industry, and fair and uniform
treatment of employees.
The Party pledges its support of programs on the State and
local governmental levels which will assure these principles.
144 North Carolina Manual
PUBLIC WELFARE
The Democratic Party of North Carolina has a history of deep
concern for the less fortunate of the State's citizens and recog-
nizes the State's obligation to provide welfare services to its
citizens who. because of age, handicaps, infirmity, financial needs
or otherwise are unable to provide for their essential requirements.
We pledge ourselves to support the welfare programs which will
provide for these needs and to develop prevention, protection, and
rehabilitation programs which will enable these citizens insofar
as possible to become self-supporting.
LABOR
We pledge our support of laws which will guarantee employees
the right to work and employers the right to conduct their business
as citizens in a free and democratic society.
We pledge our support to a program of humane labor laws, safe
and healthful working conditions, and fair compensation for the
industrial workers who contribute so much to the prosperity of the
State. No lasting progress can come to North Carolina unless it
embraces the advancement and welfare of those who, by their
labor and skill, contribute substantially to our economy.
CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT
For a healthy economy and so that we may raise our per capita
income and produce the revenue for the State services our people
need, it is essential that we do pledge our Party to continue to
develop our natural resources with particular emphasis being
placed on forestry, commercial fishing, minerals and water, and
encourage advertising of state parks, recreational areas, and other
points of interest to people from within and out of the State.
We support programs to assure continued industrial develop-
ment including encouragement of the more than 200 area and
local development organizations, which in cooperation with the
Division of Commerce and Industry of the Department of Con-
servation and Development and other State agencies and institu-
tions have done so much to promote the growth of North Carolina.
Particular emphasis should be given to the establishment and
development of industries in North Carolina which will process
and package products of North Carolina agriculture.
Democratic Platform 145
UTILITIES
The Democratic Party recognizes that the services rendered by
public and private utilities are an indispensable adjunct to the
progress of North Carolina.
We endorse utility regulation which will insure sound, orderly
growth and provide ample services for the people in every section
of North Carolina.
LAW ENFORCEMENT
The Democratic Party of North Carolina believes in the fair
and impartial enforcement of the law as it applies to all people
within the State. The Party recognizes law enforcement as essen-
tially the duty of local government. The Party pledges itself to
continue to support and develop adequate law enforcement agencies
on levels of government.
TAXATION
The Democratic Party endorses a tax structure which equitably
distributes the costs of providing governmental services in such a
manner as to encourage economic growth without tax conces-
sions to segments of the economy. Administration of tax laws
should be just and fair but firm and without special favor.
RELATION OF THE RACES
The Democratic Party believes in the preservation of the rights
and liberties of the citizens of North Carolina as guaranteed to
them by their Constitution and of the citizens of all the States
under the Constitution of the United Sates. We believe in the
principle of separation of the races in our schools and all institu-
tions involving personal and social relations, and the preservation
of our right to regulate public health, morals, marriage, education,
peace, good order, domestic tranquility and the general welfare
of the citizens of North Carolina.
RE-APPORTIONMENT
We pledge our Senators and Representatives of the 1961 General
Assembly to take some positive action on the matter of re-appor-
tionment in accordance with the population figures shown hy the
1960 census.
14(5 North Carolina Manual
FISCAL AFFAIRS
The State's fiscal policies and management under Democratic
administrations have consistently been a source of pride to the
citizens of our State. In this area we have moved conservatively,
but nev'er hesitantly or fearfully. We have been neither radical
nor reactionary. Our fiscal planning and administrative integrity
has given North Carolina a credit rating, second to none. We have
always operated on a balanced budget, and under our Party's lead-
ership, we pledge that the State's financial affairs will continue to
be conducted in a business-like fashion; thus, providing the ma-
terial resources for continued progressive service to the people of
our State.
CONGRESS
The Democratic delegation has made an enviable record in Con-
gress. They have reflected great credit on our State, and their
positions of importance both in the House and Senate indicate the
vast influence they exert in the affairs of the nation. During the
period of Republican administration, they have stood steadfast
when the welfare of the people was threatened. They have kept
the Nation's interest paramount at all times. They have shown
themselves men of integrity and devotion to the basic principles
of democracy and have played a dynamic part in fostering this
principle nationally. The Democratic Party of North Carolina
is proud of its Democratic delegation in Congress and commends
them for their magnificent record.
NATIONAL AFFAIRS
Confused Leadership
North Carolinians, used to alert, wise, and efficient State gov-
ernment under 60 years of Democratic rule, have been doubly
shocked and dismayed by the Republican Reign of Confusion in the
national government. Drift and debility have been the marks of
an administration during times of great national and international
peril. The White House, supposedly the nerve center of national
concern, has become the burying ground of ideas and the bastion of
unconcern. Time and again, leadership has been uninformed, un-
ready in crisis, and inept in action. While national problems mount
Democratic Platform 147
and international questions remain unanswered, the people are
told that "Papa Knows Best" and that dynamic apathy is the best
way to surmount the problems of the day.
Divided Government
Contrasted to this determined indifference is the patriotism of
Democratic Congressional leadership, which has shouldered the
burden of major responsibility in a period of divided government.
It has fashioned a record which has broadened the horizons of
Americans at home and America abroad. It has kept the pledge of
a party which has made responsibility a cardinal political vii'tue,
and never flinched at doing the things necessary for the nation's
well being domestically and its strength internationally. It has done
this under a virulent partisan attack which has not once given it
credit for its accomplishments, nor granted it sincerity in its pur-
pose. It has met indifference with action and irresponsibility with
efficient concern.
Honesty in Government
A Republican administration which came to office sworn to be
"as clean as a hound's tooth" has turned out to be a happy hunting
ground of cynical imprudence in high places. This unfeeling in-
eptitude has been demonstrated even in The White House, and
officials whose indiscretions have been bared to the public have
been allowed to resign with letters of commendation from the
leader of the Great Crusade.
Regulatory agencies, set up under Democratic administrations
which put a premium on honesty in government and business, have
become the dumping ground for men blind to the best interests of
the public they are sworn to protect and eager to bend to the
winds of narrow selfish interests. A nation has seen rigged regu-
lation and political payola in the very agencies charged with as-
serting the rights of the public in vast commercial enterprises
which touch the lives of all the people.
While the Great Crusader has peered down the green fairways
of indifference, the government has become a breeding place of
genteel rascality and cynical disregard for the interests of the
many for the benefit of the few.
Agriculture
In no other field has the Republican record been as black as in
that of agriculture. The Benson Plan has called for the plowing
148 North Carolina Manual
uiuler of the counti'y's small 1'armer.s. The Benson Department of
Agriculture is the most costly agency of non-military government,
yet the incomes of the nation's farmers — including those of North
Carolina — have plunged to lows not seen since the days of the last
Republican Depression. Enlightened programs designed to make
rural living healthier and happier have been crippled, while the
costs of storing a vast wealth of farm production have soared to a
million-dollar-a-day rate. Export programs have lain inoperative
while the world pleads for food and America's unmatched farm
productive capacity pours out commodities which go into storage.
Costs of Government
North Carolinians and millions of other Americans groan under
a Federal tax burden which has worsened during years of Repub-
lican rule. In seven years, we have been called on to pay $6.6
billion in additional interest charges on a mounting national debt.
This huge outlay, product of unwise Republican policies, could
have paid for many needed government programs, or left in the
private economy could have added strength to labor, business, and
agriculture. This year alone taxpayers will fork over $9.3 billion
for interest on the largest national debt in the history of our
country.
While calling for increasing outlays of public funds, the admin-
istration has made the burden worse by inefficiency and lack of
planning in public spending. Under the command of a great Gen-
eral, the armed services have been forced into lags in missiles and
lags in space. This policy lag and lack of planning has confused
the people, wasted the best use of public funds, and produced
serious questions about our national strength.
Despite a staggering price tag in seven years, we see ourselves
in danger of slipping into the position of second best in the world,
faced with enormous unmet needs at home.
Interest Rates
North Carolina has especially felt the burden of the Republican
administration's tight money policies. Bonds for the construction
of schools have been saddled with spiraling interest costs, striking
at the heart of North Carolina's local initiative in the education
field. The State's growing cities, faced with the necessity of pro-
viding expanded services for their people, have also found it
harder to market improvement bonds and more costly to retire
them.
Democratic Platform 149
This mismanagement of the government's fiscal and monetary
role has increased the worker's costs on his home, the farmer's
costs on his tools, the family's costs of living. Far from combatting-
inflation, it has produced the biggest average inflation ever in
relative peacetime.
The tight money policies of the Republican administration have
driven up the costs of doing business and made profitable business
more diflScult. The same administration which boasts of "fiscal
responsibility" has driven the costs of living up 10.6 per cent.
These rising costs and inflated interest rates have fallen heaviest
on the small businessman and the farmer, the backbone of North
Carolina's economy. The results of this unbusinesslike government
policy have caused business failures at a record rate. When the
Republican administration came into power, the business failure
rate was 29 per 10,000. The rate of failure has increased to 56 per
10,000 during the so-called "Eisenhower Prosperity."
We, the Democrats of North Carolina, deplore the trend in
National affairs under the Republicans and pledge ourselves to
setting our National house in order under the administration of a
Democratic President and a Democratic Congress.
CONCLUSION
We pledge ourselves to continue the Democratic Party as a
living, dynamic force dedicated to the promotion and protection of
the freedom and dignity of the individual and the welfare of all
the people.
We, the Democrats of North Carolina, express our gratitude to
those generations of North Carolinians before us who entrusted
to our Party their faith and their fortune and to those North
Carolinians who now entrust to it the administration of the Gov-
ernment of this great State. We reassert our belief in the im-
portance of the individual, in his right to know, in his right to be
educated, in his right to worship as he pleases, in his right to
pursue the truth, and in his right to speak his mind freely on all
matters. This sacred heritage of free thought and free speech and
independent action in all the areas of life has been fostered by the
Democratic Party since the days of its founding by Thomas Jeffer-
son and to its preservation our Party is firmly committed.
We commend the record of the Democratic Party to all forward
thinking people. It stands always on the side of justice for the
150 North Carolina Manual
many and never on the side of privilege for the few. To it political
power is not only a privilege, but also a responsibility. Its devotion
to the fundamental principles of Democracy has resulted in its
unsurpassed record in the Nation and the State as the Party of
the people. In the pursuit of its principles and ideals lies the hope
of the future.

113, the same shall be filled by the action of the executive com-
mittee of the party affected thereby in the county wherein such
vacancy occurred; provided that where the general election ballots
have already been printed before the vacancy occurs then G. S.
Section 163-153 shall apply. Provided that except in case of the
death of a candidate who is required by law to file his Notice of
Candidacy with a County Board of Elections no substitution of
candidates may be made after the primary or convention except
by order of the County Board of Elections for good cause shown.

county office other than the office of Clerk of Superior Court,
should occur at any time within ten days prior to the closing of
the filing time as now prescribed by law for the office in which
such vacancy occurs or after such closing of the filing time and
thirty days prior to the next general election, a nomination shall
be made by the proper executive committee of all political parties
as above provided, and the names of the party candidates so
nominated shall be printed on the official general election ballots,
provided that where the general election ballots have already been
printed before the vacancy occurs, then the provisions of G. S.
Section 163-153 shall apply; and in the event of any such vacancy
arising in any elective office more than ten days prior to the clos-
ing of the filing time, as now prescribed by law, for candidates
to file for the office affected, nominations of party candidates for
such office shall be made in the ensuing primary election, and all
candidates for said office shall file their notices of candidacy with
the proper Board of Elections as is provided for in G. S. Sections
163-119 and 163-120; provided that in all special elections held
for Congressmen the provisions of G. S. Section 163-105 shall
apply.

Court within thirty days prior to a general election, then the

NORTH CAROLINA REPUBLICAN STATE
PLATFORM 1960
Issued by
NORTH CAROLINA REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE
We, the Republican Party of North Carolina, do rededicate our-
selves to the principles of good, equal and fair Government promul-
gated by the founder of our party, Abraham Lincoln. We believe
his concluding remarks in his Gettysburg Address, which read as
follows, "That Government of the people, by the people and for the
people shall not perish from the earth," express the principles of
our party.
We believe that Government ought never to do what people in
their separate and individual capacities can do for themselves. Our
free enterprise economy, relying upon the initiative, courage and
capacity of our citizens, has provided an abundance unparalleled
in the history of the world and must not be destroyed by Govern-
mental competition and interference.
We, the Republican Party of North Carolina, pledge ourselves
to be guided by the following statement of our beliefs and objec-
tives:
National Affairs
We wholeheartedly commend the Republican National adminis-
tration under the leadership of our great President, Dwight D.
Eisenhower, and our Vice President, Richard M. Nixon. We are
thankful that this Republican administration has returned our
Government to the fundamental principles requiring honesty, in-
tegrity and ability from its public servants.
We believe that the most fundamental issue facing our Govern-
ment today is the necessity for it to live within its means and
further, that it adopt a long-range policy of reducing its National
debt so that ultimately the Nine Billion Dollars plus paid annually
as interest may be used either for legitimate Government opera-
tions or preferably returned to the citizens of this Country as a
result of substantial and continued reduction of taxes.
We believe in a continued policy of reversing the trend toward
centralization of power in Washington and a return of such power
and responsibility to the States and local communities. We recom-
191
192 North Carolina Manual
mend the restoration of more and more rights and privileges to
the State and to citizens thereof as contemplated by the drafts-
man of the Constitution of the United States.
We believe that communism still represents not only a distinct
threat to the world at large but a continued threat internally to
our own country. We recommend a continuing and determined
fight against communism, both in our own Country and abroad.
We are proud of the Republican leadership that has re-estab-
lished peace throughout the world; that has created the highest
level of prosperity, the highest national income, the highest em-
ployment record, and the highest hourly wages ever enjoyed in
the history of this Nation and that while the Nation is at peace;
that has consistently fought for a sound fiscal policy and has re-
established the confidence of the people in the morals and integrity
and competence of their Government.
State Affairs
We believe that this State and its citizens will never realize
their full potential growth until we have a true two-party system
in the State. The DemocratV^arty has for many years controlled
the Government, and thus, to a large extent, the progress of the
citizens of our State. We believe that the one-party system as
practiced by the Democrat'^politicians and leaders in this State is
diametrically opposed to the best interests of its citizens.
We advocate the adoption of the following policies and principles
in this great State of North Carolina.
Constitutional Reform
1. The State of North Carolina is now governed under a con-
stitution adopted in 1868, which is not only one of the most anti-
quated in the United States but which is now a chaotic instrument
because of amendment after amendment. We recommend that the
Constitution be rewritten to properly take care of present day
needs.
2. The Constitution provides for periodic reapportioning and
redistricting by the General Assembly. The Democrat politicians
have consistently ignored and violated their oath to support the
Constitution in this respect and have refused to re-district and
reapportion in conformity with the Constitution. We would require
Republican Platform 193
in the revised Constitution that the Secretary of State reappor-
tion after each census in accordance with the Constitutional
formula.
3. We recommend that the Governor be given the power to veto
acts of the General Assembly, but that the General Assembly be
further given the power to override such veto by a two-thirds vote
of both houses on roll call.
4. We further recommend that the Constitution prohibit the
appointment of any member of the General Assembly to a Board,
Agency, or position of emolument where such Board, Agency or
position was created by that session of the Legislature.
5. The Republican Party in North Carolina advocates greater
rights for the States and it equally advocates greater rights for
the local governing bodies. The Republican Party advocates more
home rule and less Raleigh rule for the counties, cities and towns
in North Carolina and recommends that those matters which are
of purely local interest be handled by the appropriate local Gov-
ernmental agency.
Election Procedure
1. The Republican Party continuously, emphatically and whole-
heartedly condemns the provision allowing civilians to vote by
absentee ballot. It provides the perfect vehicle for any unscrupu-
lous politician. The Democrat Party in North Carolina, has in
effect admitted the evils of it inasmuch as they abolished its use
in primary elections.
2. The Republican Party advocates that a citizen sign his
registration when appearing before the Registrar for registering
to vote; and that he also be required to sign an application for
voting, and that this application serve as the poll record of the
voter.
3. The Anti-Jonas Law, adopted by the General Assembly in
1955 for the purpose of defeating Congressman Charles Raper
.Jonas, has not yet been repealed despite the fact that its obvious
intention was not only to deprive the voter of his vote, but actually
to give his vote to the opposition candidate.
4. The members of the State Board of Elections and the County
Board of Elections for the Republican Party should be elected by
the applicable party leadership and not selected by Democrat
politicians.
194 North Carolina Manual
5. The Republican Party advocates the vote for nineteen year
olds.
(). Legislation should be adopted by the General Assembly per-
mitting the State to share the costs of voting machines. We believe
that their refusal to do so was based solely on the fact that the
Democrat politicians realized that the use of voting machines
would prevent them from continuing their illegal methods of re-
taining control.
Fiscal Policy
We believe that to foster, in the framework of a free choice
economy, high employment, stability of the economy, and to eradi-
cate the corrosion of inflation, the following policies are essential:
1. All Government expenditures in the State must meet the test
of a true contribution to State economic progress — not to special
interests.
2. An all-inclusive policy of operating within the annual in-
come of the State.
3. The prevention of increases in the State bureaucracy and in
the number of employees in order that the State income will not
be dissipated in the support of ineffective bureaus created to pro-
vide employment for political reasons.
4. The improvement of our tax system to provide more in-
centives for economic progress and reforms in the entire tax struc-
ture so as to produce a more equitable and healthy climate for
not only businesses but for all of the citizens of the State. For
instance, the wholesale grocery sales tax under the present law
applies to our independent wholesale groceries but does not apply
to chain stores — it should be either amended to apply to both
categories, or be eliminated entirely.
Agriculture
The Republican leadership advocates that the economic position
of the farmers in this State be improved by State encouragement
in the development of new markets for farm products; for new
agriculture products for existing markets; for the development of
locally and privately owned agricultural processing operations,
and for the development of locally and privately owned distribu-
tion systems for farm products.
Republican Platform 195
Production controls and taxpayer subsidies are not consistent
with a strong farm economy — there must be an orderly return to
free markets for farm products.
Labor
The Republican Party is for the working men and women of
America. We are determined that these people shall prosper and
share in the fruits of our free enterprise economy. We find that
under the Democrat administration the average factory wage is
the lowest of the fifty States of the United States.
The Republican Party seeks to achieve:
1. A high level of employment and low unemployment.
2. Better job opportunities for all and reduction of the causes
of unemployment.
3. Higher living standards based upon increased productivity.
4. Better balances between labor and management in the area
of free collective bargaining, with only the minimum of Govern-
ment intervention that is needed to protect the public interest and
prevent the abuse of power.
5. Scrupulous protection of the rights and freedom of individ-
ual union members.
6. We recommend a minimum wage of One Dollar ($1.00) per
hour and elimination of unjust exemptions.
We propose the following measures to check existing abuses by
labor unions:
1. The prohibition of the secondary boycott, refusal to handle
goods, and other means by which pressure is brought on labor or
business organizations not involved in a labor dispute.
2. The prohibition of unjustified organization or "blackmail"
picketing.
3. The assurance that union elections will be conducted by
secret ballot in a truly free and fair manner.
4. The full disclosure of union finances for the benefit of dues-
paying members.
5. The elimination of the use of force and violence to compel
individuals to join labor unions.
Minority Rights
The Republican Party of North Carolina reaffirms its historic
position in the fundamental truth as stated in Article I of the
Constitution of the State of North Carolina that all persons are
196 North Carolina Manual
created equal before law; that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain inalienable rights among which are life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness.
We encourage all loyal Americans to manifest a continuing
interest publically and privately in sound programs to protect
these rights of all minority groups.
We recognize and advocate the right of all persons to vote as
their conscience dictates.
We, the Republican Party of North Carolina, find this great
minority party in our State is the most discriminated against and
excluded people of the South. This minority gi'oup has been
denied its rightful representation on State Boards, Agencies,
Commissions and Institutions, and likewise is discriminated
against on the local County level.
We believe in fair play, honesty and justice in the political,
economic and social activities of our State.
We demand that our great minority party be granted minority
representation on each and every Board, Agency, Commission and
Institution, and we likewise demand minority representation for
the minority party on the County level, be this minority party in
the County Republican or Democrat.
Liquor
The Republican Party has long advocated a statewide referen-
dum with regard to the sale of alcoholic beverages and reaffirms
this stand. We pledge that if we are given control of the organi-
zation of the General Assembly, we shall not permit the issue to be
pidgeon-holed in Committee.
Highway Safety
We believe that additional protection is needed by the traveling
public against habitual speeders and against those who drive under
an intoxicated condition. We believe that all persons should be
thoroughly protected in our courts, but we further believe that
those driving under the influence of liquor or drugs should be
prosecuted diligently and their licenses revoked so that they may
not endanger the safety of the traveling public.
Public Health
North Carolina is at the bottom of the list of States in spending
for public health. The per capita spent by this State is Seventy
Republican Platform 197
Cents (10^). Despite the fact that the local health departments
were set up on the basis that the State would contribute Fifty
per cent (50%) on the cost of operating same, the State now is
contributing only Seventeen per cent (179c). The Republican
Party advocates that additional sums of money be appropriated
so that public health service rendered in this State be commensu-
rate with that rendered in other States. The Republican Party
further advocates the continued effort to compel cleaning up of
polluted rivers and streams within a definite time limit.
Public Welfare
The Democrat Party of North Carolina, despite its assurances
of its interest in the welfare of the people of the State of North
Carolina, has in the last session of the Legislature, decreased the
assistance to be granted to dependent children and the aged
and totally and permanently disabled. The reduction was approxi-
mately Ten per cent (10%) — welfare payments in the State of
North Carolina are the lowest in the Forty Nine States. While
the Legislators in the last session of the General Assembly saw
fit to increase their travel allowance for weekend journeys home,
they did not see fit to provide sufficient funds to maintain the
welfare payments at even the previous low rate.
Public Education
Of all the functions of our Government, none is more important
than that of educating the coming generation. In no area of the
Government has the Democrat Party had a record of greater
failure than in the field of basic education and in no area has that
party made a more false claim of good Government.
The Democrat Party has had complete control of our system
of education for the past sixty years, not allowing a Republican
member on the State Board of Education, nor a member on any
County Board of Education. Yet the average child in North
Carolina has less than eight years of school.
This was reflected in the Korean War when forty per cent
(40%) of our young men failed the Armed Forces Qualification
Tests against an average across the Nation of sixteen per cent
(16%). Indeed, our average adult citizen has not even completed
elementary school and we rank 45th in the Nation in the measure
of educational accomplishment. Under their long tenure in office
we find only two states crowding more students into classrooms.

200 North Carolina Manual
We rank next to the bottom among the states in the percentage
of our graduates who go to college — less than four out of ten.
Every comparison that can be made finds North Carolina at or
near the bottom in public education. Meanwhile, in a recent plat-
form of that party we find them saying: "All in all we can truly
say that North Carolina under the guidance of the Democrat
Party has established a fine system of public education, which is
UNSURPASSED in any of the States of this Union."
Proof of the results of one party rule is available to the public.
We rank along toward the top of the States in juvenile delinquency;
one out of every twelve children born in our State is born out of
wedlock ; we are at the top of the list of States in aggravated
assault crimes.
The Republican Party feels this record in education is shameful
and that it is time to elect another political party to direct and
control the education of our youth.
Compulsory Attendance
A good many years ago the Democrat General Assembly put in
the record a law requiring school attendance; yet, according to the
"Tar Heel Guide", it has been recently pointed out that only
Seventy Three (73%) per cent of our eligible school children
attend school. On numerous occasions bills have been introduced
to appropriate adequate funds to provide sufficient personnel to
enforce the truancy laws. These bills have consistently been killed.
Republicans have regularly supported such bills.
Teachers' Pay
For many years the Republicans in the General Assembly have
to a man supported every efl'ort that has been made to pay school
teachers an adequate salary. In recent sessions they have unani-
mously supported a much higher percentage of increase than the
Democrats would pass. In the last session the Republicans sup-
ported the Holmes amendment to the revenue bill which would
have given teachers an additional Seven per cent (7%) salary
raise. This bill passed by four majority on the first roll call vote
but before the next roll call could be had four Democrats changed
their vote and the measure lost. We believe the only way to have
and hold good teachers is to pay them a wage that is comparable
to their training, ability, experience and position in the community.
Republican Platform 201
State Support of Schools
The Republican Party continues its stand for full support by the
State of our Public Schools.
Community Colleges
The Republican Party believes that the idea of Community Col-
leges be expanded to include other cities than those now having
them. It provides higher educational training on the local level
virhere our young people can receive the advanced training at less
cost to them.
County Boards of Education
The Republican Party believes that no greater farce is perpe-
trated upon the people of North Carolina than the scheme by which
the Democrats select the County Boards of Education. They nomi-
nate in their County Democrat Conventions their candidates for
the County Board members and send them down to the State
Legislature where they are placed in an omnibus bill setting up
all the County Boards of Education of the State. The Republicans
haven't a chance in the world to get a man on their County
Boards. In turn, these Democrat County Boards elect the County
Superintendents and also the District school boards. As may be
expected these are Democrats and in most instances the teachers
they hire are all Democrats. It is our opinion that this is a gross
abuse of political power that ought not to be and we believe the
matter should be forcefully presented to the people of the State.
When the Republicans were last in power in this State the
County Boards of Education and the County Superintendent were
elected by the voters of the County. We believe and advocate that
should be the law now. It would be a great boost to public educa-
tion if every citizen could feel and know that he had a part in the
selection of the school boards.
Conclusion
For sixty years one party has held power of the government of
the State of North Carolina. While much has been accomplished
during this period of one party rule, North Carolina today finds
itself behind most of the other states of this Nation in basic areas
of governmental responsibility. Our educational system, our
courts, our constitution and the economic welfare of our citizens
lags behind most of the other states. The party too long in power
202 North Cakolina Manual
has become insensitive to the needs of the people of North Caro-
lina. In this year of 1960 the Republican Party of North Carolina
offers this platform, and high caliber candidates for public office,

conscious of our civic responsibilities and rights, firm in our deter-
mination to give our strength to preserving the American princi-
ple that government ought and must be of all the people, by all
the people, and for all the people, do, for the purpose of uniting
and co-ordinating our efforts for maximum power and efficiency,
herewith establish this instrument, The Plan of Organization of
the Republican Party of the State of North Carolina.
ARTICLE I

every precinct in each General Election year, the County Chair-
man shall call precinct meetings within the dates designated by
the Chairman of the State Republican Executive Committee after
giving ten (10) days written notice to each Precinct Chairman
and after ten (10) days notice of such meeting in a newspaper
of general circulation within the County.

place until a Precinct meeting can be called and the new Chairman
elected. The County Chairman shall call such a meeting within
thirty (30) days.
ARTICLE II

lican within the County.

the Committee, the resulting vacancy shall be filled by the County
Executive Committee.

moved by a two-thirds vote of the Committee after being fur-
nished with notice of the charges against him, signed by not less
than one-third of the members of the Committee and allowing
him thirty (30) days to appear and defend himself; provided
further that said cause for removal shall be confined to gross in-
efficiency or party disloyalty. Such removal may be appealed to
the Congressional District Committee and their decision shall be
final.

Chairman shall appoint someone to serve as County Chairman
until a County Convention can be called and a permanent Chair-
man elected. The appointed Chairman shall call such Convention

any special order or subsequent order for the day, but such subse-
quent order may be taken up immediately after the previous
special order has been disposed of. [53]

present. — If, on taking the question on a bill, it appears that a
