PART I
HISTORICAL
THE STATE
North Carolina, often called the "Tar Heel" state, was the scene
of the first attempt to colonize America by English-speaking peo-
ple. Under a charter granted to Sir Walter Raleigh by Queen
Elizabeth, a colony was begun in the 1580's on Roanoke Island.
This settlement, however, was unsuccessful and later became known
as "The Lost Colony."
The first permanent settlement was made about 1650 by immi-
grants from Virginia. In 1663 Charles II granted to eight Lords
Proprietors a charter for the territory lying "within six and
thirty degrees of the northern latitude, and to the west as far as
the south seas, and so southerly as far as the River St. Mattias.
which bordereth upon the coast of Florida, and within one and
thirty degrees of northern latitude, and so west in a direct line as
far as the south seas aforesaid; ..." and the colony was called
Carolina. In 1665 another charter was granted to these noblemen.
This charter extended the limits of Carolina so that the northern
line was 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
first governor under this constitution. On November 21, 1789. the
4 Noitrii Cai!(iii.\a Manitai.
s^tale aduplt'd 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 Statk 5
cial districts composed of certain continguous counties, and tliis
practice of expanding tlie districts lias continued from five districts
in 1806 until now there are thirty districts.
When North Carolina adbpted 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.
North Carolina is now entitled to only eleven representatives in
Congress.
Agriculture
With its multiplicity of soil types, a wide range of temperatures,
and an abundant rainfall. North Carolina produces a wide variety
of agricultural commodities. Almost half of the Stale's total
land area of 31.4 million acres is devoted to farming. According
to the 19 59 U. S. Census, farm land and buildings in North Caro-
lina were valued at 2.8 billion dollars.
According to the 1960 U. S. Census of population. North Caro-
lina ranked first in the Nation in farm population and 11th in
total population. North Carolina ranks second to Texas in the
number of farms.
The progress made by Tar Heel farmers during recent years
has enhanced North Carolina's position as one of the leading
agricultural states of the Nation. Although acreages planted to
many of the crops have been trending downward due primarily
to smaller acreage allotments, farmers in the State are generally
producing more efficiently than in earlier years, with the result
that total agricultural income has continued to increase. Income
6 NoKi H (\\i<()i.i.\A Manual
statistics are not yet available for 1962; however, it is expected
that s''0'>'> agricultural income will exceed that in 1961 by ono
or two percent.
In 1961, the most recent year tor which complete agricultural
income statistics are available, cash receipts from farm market-
ings and government payments to North Carolina farmers totaled
$1,154,600,000. This total of almost 1.2 billion dollars is higher
than any previous year and was exceeded by only ten other
states — Texas in the South, California in the West and eight
north central states. Of the total cash receipts, $322,300,00 0
came from farm marketings of livestock and livestock products,
$800,300,000 came from marketings of all crops and $3 2,012,000
came from government payments. North Carolina ranked 19th
in total cash receipts from livestock and livestock products and
ranked fourth in total cash receipts from crops — exceeded only by
California, Texas and Illinois.
All tobacco accounted for $556.3 million, or 49.6 percent, of
the total cash receipts from farm marketings of all commodities.
Marketings of poultry and eggs totaled $166.5 million, meat ani-
mals $85.0 million, dairy products $69.0 million, peanuts and soy-
beans $65.5 million, cotton and cottonseed $52.2 million and
feed crops $42.3 million.
The highest cash receipts from 1961 marketings of major
field crops, in the order named, came from tobacco, cotton, corn,
peanuts, soybeans, wheat, and potatoes. The highest cash re-
ceipts from marketings of livestock and livestock products, in the
order named, came from commercial broilers, milk, eggs, hogs,
cattle and calves, and turkeys.
The downward trend in the total harvested acreage of major
crops continued into 1961. The harvested acreage of major crops in
1961 totaled 4.8 million acres — 4.6 percent below 1960 and 15.1
percent below the 1951-60 average. Corn for grain acreage de-
clined from 1.750,000 acres in 1960 to 1,383,000 acres in 1961.
The acreage in sorghum grain declined from 8 4,000 acres in 19 60
to 55,000 acres in 1961. The reduction in the acreage of both corn
and sorghum grain was due to participation in the Feed Grain
Program. The 1961 harvested acreage of potatoes, sweet-potatoes
and commercial vegetables was also below 19 60. Other major
crops such as wheat, oats, cotton, tobacco, lespedeza for seed,
soybeans and all hay showed a combined increase in 1961 over
The State 7
196 u of 144,400 acres — less than half of the decline in the acreage
of corn for grain.
Record high per acre yields were realized in 1961 for small
grains — wheat, oats, barley and rye. The average yield of flue-
cured tobacco was slightly below 1960; however, an increase of
5,5 00 acres harvested along with higher prices pushed the value
of the 1961 Tar Heel flue-cured crop to $541.5 million — about
$29 million above 1960. An increase in the per acre yield of cotton
from 284 pounds in 1960 to 337 pounds in 19 61 combined with a
higher average price raised the value of the 19 61 cotton crop to
about $12.5 million above 1960. The value of the 1961 Tar Heel
soybean crop totaled $29.5 million as compared with $24.6
million in 1960.
The contribution of Tar Heel farmers to the total economy of
the State is not limited to the production of food and fiber alone.
Tar Heel farmers spent more than a half billion dollars for items
such as feed, seed, fertilizer, petroleum fuel and oil and other
miscellaneous items in the operation of their farms during 1961.
In addition, many thousands of people are employed by industries
processing the raw products and by industries manufacturing
goods primarily for use on farms. Regardless of the measurement
used, we reach the inevitable conclusion that agriculture in North
Carolina is "big business."
Conservation and Development
North Carolina's national leadership in the textile, tobacco
and furniture industries was enhanced during the biennium by
the addition of more than 1,000 new and expanded plants in
these and other industries. Capital investments by North Carolina
firms adding to their facilities and by new enterprise entering our
state from outside was $498 million. New payrolls totaled $212
million for 64,000 workers.
The trend toward industrial diversification was accentuated
under the leadership of the Department of Consei'vation and De-
velopment which worked in close cooperation with more than
200 local and area development organizations and state and fede-
ral agencies.
The following table compiled for 19 61 by The Hecord of Soiitli-
crn Progress reveals not only the increasing diversity of North
Carolina's industrial production, but the rapid growth of the food

processing business. Value of our iiianufaetured goods in this
year — over $9 billion — represcMits an increase of 655% over

Emphasis on food processing that was a feature of the 1960-62
biennium is continuing with increased force into the future. This
industry, benefitting from research programs at N. C. State College
and private laboratories, is adding greater value to our agri-
cultural product through processing, and also providing em-
ployment for workers freed by ever-increasing mechanization of
farming.
In this biennium, records of the Department of Conservation
and Development show that more than 3 4,0 00 persons were em-
ployed in 938 food processing plants whose output was valued
at approximately a billion dollars. Meat, sweet potatoes, beans,
peaches, white potatoes and seafood are principal products. Re-
search is going forward with tomatoes and seafood.

biennium to the extent that the value of its catch exceeded $15
millions and that more than 6,000 commercial fishing boats were

The State 9
engaged in it, has barely scratched the surface. Research aimed
both at increasing production of fin and shellfish and in processing
and marketing the catch is laying the foundation for greatly ex-
panded production in years ahead.
North Carolina's employable work force of nearly 525,000 in
19 61 is being augmented constantly by graduates of our colleges
and high schools and, increasingly, from our state-wide system
of industrial education centers.
Research in all fields was stepped up. Development of the Re-
search Triangle continued with addition of the U. S. Forest Service
laboratory and other enterprises.
Attention was focused on international trade by the first North
Carolina Trade Fair in 1961 and industrial and travel missions
to Europe. This emphasis is being extended in the biennium
ahead with the second international Trade Fair in Charlotte in
1963 which was heralded by our industrial mission to Europe in
1962. This mission, arranged by the Department of Conserva-
tion and Development, was participated in by public-spirited
citizens at no expense to the State. Opportunities for develop-
ment of our industry both by opening up export markets for
products made here and by attracting plants of foreign manu-
facturers to locate in North Carolina, are being pursued con-
tinuously.
The North Carolina State Parks offer one of the most reward-
ing uses of our natural resources. During 1961 and 19 62 more
than three and one quarter million people visited and used the
parks — more than in any previous two year period. During this
period visitors came from 47 states, the District of Columbia and
25 foreign countries. This period also saw growth in the system.
Two new areas were added bringing the total number of state parks
to 13.
The travel-serving industry, promoted throughout the world
by the State Advertising Division, continued giant strides for-
ward. In 1961 over 25 million travelers from out of the State
visited "Variety Vacationland" and brought $254 million in new-
money, of which $17 million went directly to the State treasury
in taxes.
Including North Carolinians traveling in their own State, ex-
penditures by travelers in 1961 totaled $42:; million, an increasf
of 3.7 percent over 1960 and 176 percent over 194S. Tr;ivt'iprs
10 North Carolina Manual
constitute about one-half the entire volume of the travel-serving
industry, which grossed $888 million in 1961 and gave em-
ploymont to 75.450 persons working for 18,600 business enter-
prises. Including gasoline taxes, the travel-serving industry pro-
duced $160 million in State revenues, or 33 percent of the total
for 1961.
New highways and bridges and new and expanded privately
operated tourist attractions like Ghost Mountain in the Great
Smokies, Tweetsie Railroad, and Grandfather Mountain in the
Blue Ridge, and the Battleship North Carolina Memorial on th2
Coast, greatly enhanced the lure of "Variety Vacationland" for
future business for this major industry.
During the biennium the aggressive selling job of the Adver-
tising Division included the pioneer state-sponsored mission to
Europe in cooperation with the "Visit U.S.A." program of the
U. S. Department of Commerce, the first state-sponsored visit of
European travel executives to the U.S.A., increased newspaper,
magazine, television and radio advertising, and participation in
major travel shows in New York, Washington and Cincinnati.
This program, augmented by striking new motion pictures, is
continuing with vigor into the new biennium when there is every
indication that the State's travel-serving industry's dollar volume
will approach the billion-dollar-a-year mark.
Products from North Carolina's 20 million acres of carefully
conserved and managed forests are adding more than a billion
dollars to the State's economy annually. Each of the State's 100
counties has forest land.
Stone and gravel, copper, mica, tungsten, feldspar, and clays,
in that order, established a new dollar value during the bien-
nium for the State's mineral industry. The Bureau of Mines.
U. S. Department of Interior, estimated annual output value of
$50 million. Tar Heel brick manufacture now leads the nation.
The State was also first in the nation in production of lithium
minerals, feldspar, crushed granite, sheet and scrap mica. It was
second in olivine and tungsten, and third in talc and pyrophylite.
Seventy-five of the known 300 minerals and rocks in North
Carolina have commercial value.
Impact of two newer divisions of the Department of Conserva-
tion and Development was felt during the biennium, and will be
increasingly important in the future.
The State 11
The Community Planning Division assisted 7 5 municipalities
and 14 counties witli services including base maps, land use
surveys, population and economy trend studies, and planning for
thoroughfares, central business districts, parks and other com-
munity projects. This division offers continuing technical as-
sistance to municipal and county officials, and may act in their
behalf in obtaining federal planning grants up to 60 «^ of cost
of eligible projects.
The Geodetic Survey Division added approximately 60 0 new
permanent survey markers to the existing 2,300 already in the
State. These are of great value to engineers, project developers,
and land surveyors. Use of this basic system by development
groups increased immensely during the biennium. Index maps
have been published for each of the 100 counties showing the
location of each marker with its descriptive data.
New services were added during the biennium by the Com-
munity and Industrial Services section, which works closely with
local and regional development groups in bringing suppliers and
manufacturers together, searching out markets and developing
new facilities and products.
Described as the "Dixie Dynamo", North Carolina is setting
the pace in the South in conservation and development of its
natural resources.
Name it, and most likely you can find it in North Carolina.
Our industry ranges from A (aircraft) to Z (zippers). Our
Variety Vacationland stretches from the highest mountains in
Eastern America to Atlantic Ocean beaches. We are a sample
case of minerals — over 300 varieties. Our forests, farmlands
and fishing waters yield bounteous crops of food and fibre.
These and other qualities that make North Carolina a good
state in which to live, work and play are being conserved and
developed in the broad perspective that recognizes the future as
belonging to those who prepare for it.
Public Health in North Carolina
North Carolina has a vigorous and effective program of public
health.
The State Board of Health and the 68 local health departments
serving the 100 counties assure an alert concern for the health
conditions in all facilities serving the public. Basic State laws
12 North Carolina Manual
empower 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 func-
tioning, with changes from time to time, ever since. The General
Assembly of 1957 recodified, and to a considerable extent modern-
ized, 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 follow-
ing year, Robeson became the first purely ru"^l county in the United
States to take this step, but it was not until July 1, 1949 that the
last four counties provided this service.
There has been continued progress in public health in these
more than five decades. Illustrations of this can be found in every
aspect of the legal responsibilities placed upon the State Board of
Health. Among these may be noted: compulsory immunization of
children under six for poliomyelitis; surveys in the areas of air
pollution and environmental health; and the establishment of a
coordinated State Radiological Program. North Carolina 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.
State Highway Systems
On January 1, 1962, the State had under its direct jurisdiction
71,442 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 11,3.53 miles, substantially all hard surfaced. The largest of the
three systems is the Rural Secondary System of 57.064 miles, of
The State 13
which 25,820 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 3,025 miles of streets which form a part of the State Highway
and Roads systems in municipalities. Of this Municipal System,
2,791 miles are paved.
Combining the three systems, the State operates a network of
37,089 miles of paved and 31,328 miles of unpaved highways, roads
and streets. The State has direct jurisdction over more mileage
than has any other road governing body in the nation. In terms of
size and population, no other state exceeds North Carolina in the
extent of road services provided for its people. There are no toll
roads or bridges in North Carolina.
Major emphasis is now being placed on modernizing many obso-
lete sections of the Primary System, and building the Interstate
Expressway System. Some 342 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, 1962, the State Highway Fund, including Federal
Aid, expended $205,572,736 for highway, road, and street construc-
tion, maintenance, betterments and improvements, including the
operation of the Motor Vehicle Department, Highway Patrol, High-
way Safety Division, other state agencies, and the retirement of
Secondary Road Bonds.
RuKAL Electuic a.m) Tei.kpiioxe Servicf.
Rural areas of North Carolina received little benehis from rural
electrification prior to 1935, which is often spoken of as the start-
ing point. At that time, only 1,884 miles of rural lines serving
11,558 farms were recorded by the North Carolina Rural Electrifica-
tion Authority, which was created in that year to secure electric
service for the rural areas. Today the Authority reports in opera-
tion 87,730 miles of rural lines serving 669,229 consumers. In addi-
tion to this, there were 356 miles under construction or authorized
for construction to serve 3,078 consumers. Electrification li;i'^ con-
14 NoKTH Carolina Manual
tributed considerably to the great progress in agricultural develop-
ment over the 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 well-being 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 resi-
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 Corporations, over six times
as many farms now have telephone service as in 1945. In addition,
a greater number of 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 173 local units. Public
school enrollment in 1961-62 was 1,141,574. There were 41,867
teachers and 2,207 principals and supervisors and 173 superintend-
ents. Nearly 60 per cent of all general fund taxes collected by
the State are used for elementary and secondary schools. 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 3,131 public school buildings and the total
value of public school property is $829,685,500.

COLLEGKS AXD UNIVEKSITIKS
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 62 institutions of higher learning in the State. Twelve
are State-supported. Forty-one are private or church-related. Five
are public institutions with some State support. There are 38
senior, 20 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 1962-63 was 80,804.
THE STATE CAPITOL
The original State Capitol of North Carolina was destroyed by
fire on June 21, 1831.
At the session of November, 1832, the Assembly resolved to
rebuild on the old site, and $50,000 was appropriated for the pur-
pose. Commissioners were appointed to have the work done. The
rubbish was cleared away, the excavations made and the foundations
were laid. On July 4, 1833, the cornerstone was set in place.
After the foundations were laid the work progressed more slowly,
and it was so expensive that the appropriation was exhausted.
The Legislature at its next session appropriated $75,000 more.
To do the stone and finer work many skilled artisans had been
brought from Scotland and other countries. The Building Com-
missioners contracted with David Paton to come to Raleigh and
superintend the work. Mr. Paton was an architect who had come
from Scotland the year before. He was the builder, the architect,
and designer.
The Legislature was compelled to make appropriations for the
work from time to time. The following is a table of the several
appropriations made:
Session of 1832-33 $ 50,000.00
Session of 1833-34 -- 75,000.00
Session of 1934-35 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 Slate. 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 1840 the work was finished. At last, after
more than seven years, the sum of $531,674.46 was expended. As
large as that sum was for the time, when the State was so poor
and when the entire taxes for all State purposes reached less thin
17
18 NoRTU Cakolina Manual
$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 9TY2 feet in the
center. The apex of pediment is 64 feet in height. The stylobate
to 18 feet in height. The columns of the east and west porticoes
are 5 feet 2i/^ 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
Avas 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 orna-
ment 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 tlie same size — the one contain-
ing an area of 649 square feet, the other 528 square feet — the two
committee rooms, each containing 200 square feet and four closets:
also the rotunda, corridors, vestibules, and piazzas, contain an area
of 4,370 square feet. The vestibules are decorated with columns
and antae, similar to those of the Ionic Temple on the Ilissus, near
the Acropolis of Athens. The remainder is groined with stone and
brick, springing from columns and pilasters of the Roman Doric.
"The second story consists of Senatorial and Representatives'
chambers, the former containing an area of 2,545 and the latter
2,849 square feet. Four apartments enter from Senate Chamber,
two of which contain each an area of 169 square feet, and the other
two contain each an area of 154 square feet; also, two rooms enter
from Representatives' chamber, each containing an area of 170
square feet; of two committee rooms, each containing an area
The Capitoi. 19
of 231 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 Octagon Tower of Andronicus Cyrrhestes and the
plan of the hall is of the formation of the Greek theatre and
the columns and antae in the Senatorial chamber and rotunda are
of the Temple of Erectheus, Minerva, Polias, and Pandrosus, in the
Acropolis of Athens, near the above named Parthenon.
"Third, or attic story, consists of rooms appropriated to the
Supreme Court and Library, each containing an area of 693 square
feet. Galleries of both houses have an area of 1,300 square feet;
also two apartments entering from Senate gallery, each 169 square
feet, of four presses and the lobbies' stairs, 988 square feet. These
lobbies as well as rotunda, are lit with cupolas, and it is proposed
to finish the court and library in the florid Gothic style."

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

Description of the Building
The State Legislative Building, though not an imitation of his-
toric classical styles, is classical in character. Rising from a 34tV
foot wide podium of North Carolina granite, the building proper is
242 feet square. The walls and the columns are of Vermont marble,
the latter forming a colonnade encompassing the building and
reaching 24 feet from the podium to the roof of the second floor.
Inset in the south podium floor, at the main entrance, is a 28-foot
diameter terrazzo mosaic of the Great Seal of the State. From the
first floor main entrance (at Jones Street) the carpeted 22-foot wide
main stair extends directly to the third floor and the public galleries
of the Senate and House, the auditorium, the display area, and the
roof gardens.
The four garden courts are located at the corners of the building.
These courts contain tropical plants, and three have pools, foun-
tains, and hanging planters. The main floor areas of the courts are
located in the first floor, and mezzanines overlook the courts from
the second floor. The skylights which provide natural lighting are
located within the roof gardens overhead. The courts provide access
to committee rooms in the first floor, the legislative chambers in the
second floor, and to membei's' offices in both floors.
The Senate and House chambers, each 5,180 square feet in area,
occupy the east and west wings of the second floor. Following the
traditional relationship of the two chambers in the Capitol, the two
spaces are divided by the rotunda; and when the main brass doors
are open, the two presiding officers face one another. Each pair
of brass doors weigh 1,500 pounds.
The five pyramidal roofs covering the Senate and House chambers,
the auditorium, the main stair, and the rotunda are sheathed with
copper, as is the Capitol. The pyramidal shape of the roofs is
visible in the pointed ceilings inside. The structural ribs form a
coffered ceiling; and inside the coffered patterns, concentric pat-
terns are outlined in gold. In each chamber, the distance from the
floor to the peak of the ceiling is 45 feet.
Chandeliers in the chambers and main stair are 8 feet in diameter
and weigh 625 pounds each. The 12-foot diameter chandelier of
the rotunda, like the others, is of brass; but its weight is 750
pounds.
The Capitol 23
Because of the interior environment, the garden courts and
rotunda have tropical plants and trees. Outside, however, the
shrubs and trees are of an indigenous type. Among the trees in
the grounds, on the podium, and in the roof areas are sugar maples,
dogwoods, crabapples, magnolias, crepe myrtles, and pines.
Throughout the building, the same color scheme is maintained:
Walnut, white, gold, and red, with green foliage. In general, all
wood is American walnut, metal is brass or other gold color material,
carpets are red, and upholstery is gold or black.
The enclosed area consists of 206,000 square feet of floor area with
a volume of 3,210,000 cubic feet. Heating equipment provides over
7,000,000 B.T.U. per hour; and the cooling equipment has a capacity
of 620 tons. For lighting, motors, and other electrical equipment,
the building has a connected service load of over 2,000,000 watts.

THE STATE FLAG
An Act to Establish a State Flag
The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:
Section 1. That the flag of North Carolina shall consist of a
blue union, containing in the center thereof a white star with the
letter N in gilt oh the left and the letter C in gilt on the right of
said star, the circle containing the same to be one-third the width of
the union.
Sec. 2. That the fly of the flag shall consist of two equally pro-
portioned bars; the upper bar to be red, the lower bar to be white;
that the length of the bars horizontally shall be equal to the per-
pendicular length of the union, and the total length of the flag
shall be one-third more than its width.
Sec. 3. That above the star in the center of the union there
shall be a gilt scroll in semicircular form, containing in black let-
ters this inscription: "May 20th, 1775," and that below the star
there shall be a similar scroll containing in black letters the in-
scription: "April 12th, 1776."
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this 9th
day of March, A.D., 1885.
No change has been made in the flag since the passage of this
act. By an act of 1907 it is provided:
"That the board of trustees or managers of the several State 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 North
Carolina flag, to be displayed either on a staff upon the top. or
draped behind the Judge's stand, in each and every courthouse in
the State, and that the State flag shall be displayed at each and
every term of court held, and on such other public occasions as
the Commissioners may deem proper." (Rev., s. 5321; 1885 o. 291;
1907, c. 838.)

viz:
1. Resolved, That whosoever directly or indirectly abetted or in
any way form or manner countenanced the unchartered and dan-
gerous invasion of our rights as claimed by Great Britain is an
enemy to this country, to America, and to the inherent and in-
alienable rights of man.
2. Resolved. That we the citizens of Mecklenburg County, do
hereby dissolve the political bands which have connected us to the
mother country and hereby absolve ourselves from all allegiance
to the British Crown and abjure all political connection contract
or association with that nation who have wantonly trampled on
our rights and liberties and inhumanly shed the blood of American
patriots at Lexington.
3. Resolved, That we do hereby declare ourselves a free and in-
dependent people, are, and of right ought to be a sovereign and

Carolina.

self-governing association under the control of no power other
than that of our God and the General Government of the Congress
to the maintenance of which independence we solemnly pledge to
each other our mutual cooperation, our lives, our fortunes, and our
most sacred honor.
4. Resolved, That as we now acknowledge the existence and con-
trol of no law or legal officer, civil or military within this County,
we do hereby ordain and adopt as a rule of life all, each and
every of our former laws — wherein nevertheless the Crown of
Great Britain never can be considered as holding rights, privileges,
immunities, or authority therein.
5. Resolved. That it is further decreed that all, each and every
Military Officer in this County is hereby reinstated in his former
command and authority, he acting conformably to these regula-
tions. And that every member present of this delegation shall
henceforth be a civil officer, viz., a justice of the peace, in the
character of a "committee man" to issue process, hear and deter-
mine all matters of controversy according to said adopted laws
and to preserve peace, union and harmony in said county, and
to use every exertion to spread the love of Country and fire of
freedom throughout America, until a more general and organized
government be established in this Province.
THE GREAT SEAL
The Constitution of North Carolina, Article III, section 16, re-
quires 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.)
34
THE STATE BIRD
By popular choice the Cardinal was selected for adoption as
our State Bird as of March 4, 1943. (S. L. 1943 c. 595; G. S.
145-2.)
This bird is sometimes called the Winter Redbird because it is
most conspicuous in winter and is the only "redbird" present at
that season. It is an all year round resident and one of the com-
monest birds in our gardens and thickets. It is about the size of a
Catbird with a longer tail, red all over, except that the throat and
region around the bill is black; the head is conspicuously crested
and the large stout bill is red; the female is much duller — the red
being mostly confined to the crest, wings and tail. There are no
seasonal changes in the plumage.
The Cardinal is a fine singer, and what is unusual among birds
the female is said to sing as well as the male, which latter sex
usually has a monopoly of that art in the feathered throngs.
The nest is rather an untidy affair built of weed stems, grass
and similar materials in a low shrub, small tree or bunch of briars,
usually not over four feet above the ground. The usual number
of eggs to a set is three in this State, usually four further North.
Possibly the Cardinal raises an extra brood down here to make
up the difference, or possibly he can keep up his normal population
more easily here through not having to face inclement winters
of the colder North. A conspicuous bird faces more hazards.
The cardinal is by nature a seed eater, but he does not dislike
small fruits and insects.
37
THE HALIFAX RESOLUTION
A<iopled by tho Provincial Congress of North Carolina in Session
ai Halifax, April 12, 1776.
It appears to your committee that pursuant to the plan con-
certed by the British Ministry for subjugating America, the King
and Parliament of Great Britian have usurped a power over the
persons and properties of the people unlimited and uncontrolled;
and disregarding their humble petitions for peace, liberty, and
safety, have made divers legislative acts, denouncing war, famine,
and every species of calamity, against the Continent in general.
The British fleets and armies have been, and still are, daily em-
ployed in destroying the people, and committing the most horrid
devastations on the country. The governors in different Colonies
have declared protection to slaves who should imbrue their hands
in the blood of their masters. That ships belonging to America are
declared 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 re-
duced to the most lamentable distress.
And Whereas, the moderation, hitherto manifested by the United
Colonies and their sincere desire to be reconciled to the mother
country on constitutional principles, have procured no mitigation
of the aforesaid wrongs and usurpations, and no hopes remain
of obtaining redress by those means alone which have been
hitherto tried, your committee are of opinion that the House
should enter into the following resolve, to wit:
Resolved, That the delegates for this Colony in the Continental
Congress be 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.
38
NAME OF STATE AND NICKNAMES
In 1629 King Charles the First of England "erected into a
province," all the land from Albemarle Sound on the north to the
St. John's River on the south, which he directed should be called
Carolina. The word Carolina is from the word Carolus, the Latin
form of Charles.
When Carolina was divided in 1710, the southern part was
called South Carolina and the northern or older settlement was
called North Carolina, or the "Old North State." Historians had
recorded the fact that the principal products of this State were
"tar, pitch and turpentine." It was during one of the fiercest
battles of the War Between the States, so the story goes, that the
column supporting the North Carolina troops was driven from the
field. After the battle the North Carolinians, who had successfully
fought it out alone, were greeted from the passing derelict regi-
ment with the question: "Any more tar down in the Old North
State, boys?" Quick as a flash came the answer: "No; not a bit;
old Jeff's bought it all up." "Is that so; what is he going to do
with it?" was asked. "He is going to put it on you-uns heels to
make you stick better in the next fight." Creecy relates that Gen-
eral Lee, hearing of the incident, said: "God bless the Tar Heel
boys," and from that they took the name. — Adapted from Grand-
father Tales of North Carolina by R. B. Creecy and Histories of
North Carolina Regiments, Vol. Ill, by Walter Clark.
The State Motto
The General Assembly of 1893 (chapter 145) adopted the words
"Esse Quam Videri" as the State's motto and directed that these
words with the date "20 May, 1775," should be placed with our
Coat of Arms upon the Great Seal of the State.
The words "Esse Quam Videri" mean "to be rather than to
seem." Nearly every State has adopted a motto, generally in Latin.
The reason for their mottoes being in Latin is that the Latin
tongue is for 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. 2*6)
39
40 Noinii Caiiom.na Ma.mai.
It is a little singular that until the act of 1893 the sovereign
State of North Carolina had no motto since its declaration of in-
dependence. It was one of the very few states which did not have
a motto and the only one of the original thirteen without one.
(Rev., s 5320; 1893, c 14.5; G. S. 144-2.)
The State Colors
Tlie 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;
The State Flower
The General Assembly of 19 41 designated the dogwood as the
State flower. (Public Laws, 19 41, c. 28 9; G. S. 14 5-1.)
The State Song
The song known as "The Old North State" was adopted as the
official song of the State of North Carolina by the General Assem-
bly of 1927. (Public Laws, 1927, c. 26; G.S. 149-1).
The State Tree
The pine was officially designated as the State tree by the General
Assembly of 1963. (Session Laws, 1963, c. 41).
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!
Public Holidays 41
Here's to the laud where the galax grows,
Where the rhodedendron'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!
(Composed in 1904 by Leonora Martin and Mary Burke Kerr.)

CONSTITUTION
OF THE
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA
PREAMBLE
We, the people of the State of North Carolina, grateful to
Almighty God, the Sovereign Ruler of Nations, for the preservation
of the American Union and the existence of our civil, political and
religious liberties, and acknowledging our dependence upon Him
for the continuance of those blessings to us and our posterity, do,
for the more certain security thereof, and for the better govern-
ment of this State, ordain and establish this Constitution:
ARTICLE I
DECLARATION OF EIGHTS
That the great, general and essential principles of liberty and
free government may be recognized and established, and that the
relations of this State to the Union and Government of the United
States, and those of the people of this State to the rest of the
American people may be defined and affirmed, we do declare:
Section 1. The equality anci rights of persons. That we hold it
to be self-evident that all persons are created equal; that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that
among these are life, liberty, the enjoyment of the fruits of their
own labor, and the pursuit of happiness.
Sec. 2. Political power and government. That all political power
is vested in, and derived from, the people; all government of right
originates from the people, is founded upon their will only, and is
instituted solely for the good of the whole.
Sec. 3. Internal government of the State. That the people of
this State, have the inherent, sole and exclusive right of regulat-
ing the internal government and police thereof, and of altering and
abolishing their Constitution and form of government whenever
it may be necessary to their safety and happiness; but every such
4S
46 North Caeolina Manual
right should be exercised in pursuance of law, and consistently
with the Constitution of the United States.
Sec. 4. TJiat there is no right to secede. That this State shall
ever remain a member of the American Union; that the people
thereof are a part of the American Nation; that there is no right
on the part of the State to secede, and that all attempts, from
whatever source or upon whatever pretext, to dissolve said Union
or to sever said Nation, ought to be resisted with the whole power
of the State.
Sec. 5. Of allegiance to the United States Government. That
every citizen of this State owes paramount allegiance to the Con-
stitution and Government of the United States, and that no law or
ordinance of the State in contravention or subversion thereof can
have any binding force.
Sec. 6. Public debt; bonds issued, under Ordinance of Conven-
tion of 1868, '68-'69, '69-10, 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 thousand
eight hundred and sixty-eight, nor any debt or bond incurred or
issued by the Legislature of the year one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-eight, either at its special session of the year one thou-
sand eight hundred and sixty-eight, or at its regular sessions of
the years one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight and one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-nine, and one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-nine and one thousand eight hundred and
seventy, except the bonds issued to fund the interest on the old
debt of the State, unless the proposing to pay the same shall have
first been submitted to the people and by them ratified by the
vote of a majority of all the qualified voters of the State, at a
regular election held for that purpose.
Sec. 7. Exclusive emoluments, etc. No person or set of persons
are entitled to exclusive or separate emoluments or privileges from
the community but in consideration of public services.
Constitution 47
Sec. 8. The legislative, executive and judicial poioers distinct.
The legislative, executive, and supreme judicial powers of the
government ought to be forever separate and distinct from each
other.
Sec. 9. Of the power of suspending laws. All power of suspend-
ing laws, or the execution of laws, by any authority, without the
consent of the representatives of the people, is injurious to their
rights, and ought not to be exercised.
Sec. 10. Elections free. All elections ought to be free.
Sec. 11. In criminal prosecutions. In all criminal prosecutions,
every person charged with crime has the right to be informed of
the accusation and to confront the accusers and witnesses with
other testimony, and to have counsel for defense, and not be com-
pelled to give self-incriminating evidence, or to pay costs, jail fees,
or necessary witness fees of the defense, unless found guilty.
Sec. 12. Answers 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 warrants. 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.
48 North Carolina Manual
Sec. 17. No jiersons taken, etc., but by law of land. No person
ought to be taken, imprisoned or disseized of his freehold, liber-
ties, or privileges, or outlawed or exiled, or in any manner deprived
of his life, liberty or property, but by the law of the land.
Sec. 18. Persons restrained of liberty. Every person restrained
of his liberty is entitled to a remedy to inquire into the lawfulness
thereof, and to remove the same, if unlawful; and such remedy
ought not to be denied or delayed.
Sec. 19. Controversies at law respecting property. In all con-
troversies at law respecting property, the ancient mode of trial
by jury is one of the best securities of the rights of the people,
and ought to remain sacred and inviolable. No person shall be
excluded from jury service on account of sex.
Sec. 20. Freedom of the press. The freedom of the press is one
of the great bulwarks of liberty, and therefore ought never to be
restrained, but every individual shall be held responsible for the
abuse of the same.
Sec. 21. Habeas corpus. The privilege of the writ of habeas
corpus shall not be suspended.
Sec. 22. Property qualification. As political rights and privi-
leges are not dependent upon, or modified by, property, therefore
no property qualification ought to affect the right to vote or hold
office.
Sec. 23. Representation and taxation. The people of the State
ought not to be taxed, or made subject to the payment of any
impost or duty without the consent of themselves, or their repre-
sentatives in General Assembly, freely given.
Sec. 24. Militia and the right to bear arms. A well regulated
militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right
of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; and,
as standing armies in time of peace are dangerous to liberty, they
ought not to be kept up, and the military should be kept under
strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power. Nothing
herein contained shall justify the practice of carrying concealed
weapons, or prevent the Legislature from enacting penal statutes
against said practice.
Sec. 25. Right of the people to assemble together. The people
have a right to assemble together to consult for their common.
Constitution 49
good, to instruct their representatives, and to apply to the Legis-
lature for redress of grievances. But secret political societies are
dangerous to the liberties of a free people, and should not be
tolerated.
Sec. 26. Religious liberty. All persons have a natural and inalien-
able right to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of
their own consciences, and no human authority should, in any case
whatever, control or interfere with the rights of conscience.
Sec. 27. Education. The people have a right to the privilege of
education, and it is the duty of the State to guard and maintain
that right.
Sec. 28. Elections should be frequent. For redress of grievances,
and for amending and strengthening the laws, elections should be
often held.
Sec. 29. Recurrence to fundamental principles. A frequent re-
currence to fundamental principles is absolutely necessary to pre-
serve the blessings of liberty.
Sec. 30. Hereditary emoluments, etc. No hereditary emoluments,
privileges, or honors ought to be granted or conferred in this
State.
Sec. 31. Perpetuities, etc. Perpetuities and monopolies are con-
trary to the genius of a free State, and ought not to be allowed.
Sec. 32. Ex post facto 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 restrospectively 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.
50 North Carolina Manual

peace, be quartered in any house without the consent of the owner;
nor in time of war but in a manner prescribed by law.
Sec. 37. Treason against the State. Treason against the State
shall consist only in levying war against it or adhering to its enemies,
giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of trea-
son unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act,
or on confession in open court. No conviction of treason or attainder
shall work corruption of blood or forfeiture.
Sec. 38. Other rights of the people. This enumeration of rights
shall not be construed to impair or deny others retained by the
people; and all powers not herein delegated remain with the
people.

THE AMERICAN'S CREED
I believe in the United States of America, as a government ot
tlie people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are
derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a re-
public; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect
union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of
freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American
patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it
is my duty to my country to love it, to support its constitution,
to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all
enemies.
(The American's Creed by William Tyler Page was adopted by
an act of Congress, April 6. 1918.)
THE AMERICAN FLAG, IT'S ORIGIN
In 1775, the Philadelphia Troop of Light Horse carried a stand-
ard with thirteen alternate blue and silver stripes in the upper
left-hand corner. At Cambridge on January 2, 1776, Washington
without authorization of the Continental Congress raised a flag
consisting of thirteen alternate white and red stripes with the
crosses of St. George and St. Andrew in a blue field in the upper
left-hand corner. It was called the "Union Flag," "Grand Union
Flag,'' and the "Continental Flag," and was employed until dis-
placed by the Stars and Stripes adopted by the Continental Con-
gress.
The beautiful tradition that Betsy Ross, as early as June 17 7(i.
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."

88 North Carolina Manual
This action was necessitated by the admission of the States of
Vermont and Kentucky to the Union.
The tiag of 1795 had the stars arranged in three rows of five
each instead of in a circle, and served for 2 3 years.
With the admission of more new states, however, it became
apparent that the 179 5 flag would have to be further modified;
hence in 1818 a law was passed by Congress providing:
"That from and after the fourth day of July next, the Hag
of the United States be thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate red
and white; that the union have twenty stars, white in a blue field.
"That on the admission of every new state into the Union, one
star be added to the union of the Hag; and that such addition
shall take effect on the Fourth of July next succeeding such
admission."
Since 1818 additional stars have been added until today there
are 50 on the flag. No law has been passed to designate how the
stars shall be arranged. At one time they formed a design of a
larger star. Now they form five rows of six stars each and four
rows of five stars each.
Betsy Ross, it is now said, lived at 23 3 Arch Street, Philadel-
phia, and not at 239. She made flags, but says Theodore D. Gott-
lieb, she never made the first Stars and Stripes. He adds: "The
Department of State, the War and Navy departments, the Histori-
cal Sites Commission of Philadelphia and other official bodies
repudiate the legend. The book and pamphlet material available
is overwhelmingly against the legend.
"The story arose for the first time on March 14, 18 7U, when
William J. Canby read a paper before the Pennsylvania Historical
Society in which he states that in 1836, when his grandmother,
Betsy Ross, was 84 years old and he was 11, she told him the
story. He apparently thought little of it because nothing was done
until 1857, when at the suggestion of his Aunt Clarissa, oldest
daughter of Betsy, he wrote out the notes as he remembered the
conversation.
"Nothing further was done until 1870 when he wrote his paper.
The Historical Society of Pennsylvania thought so little of the
paper it neither catalogued nor kept a copy of it. Even George
Canby, younger brother of William, disputed several points in the
paper.
The American Flag 89
"The legend grew to strength from 1888 to 189:', when pro-
motors secured an option on the so-called Flag House.
"Modern historical researchers are giving much thought to
Francis Hopkinson of New Jersey as the possible designer and
the Fillmore or Bennington flag as the first flag."
The Proper Display of the American Flag
(The United States Code, 1958)
(Chapter 10, Sections 171-172, 174-178)
Sec. 171. When the national anthem is played and the Hag is

Those in uniform should salute at the first note of the anthem,
retaining this position until the last note. All others should stand
at attention, men removing the headdress. When the flag is dis-
played, all present should face the flag and salute.
Sec. 172. The following is designated as the pledge of allegiance
to the flag: "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States
of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation,
under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." Such
pledge should be rendered by standing with the right hand over
the heart. However, civilians will always show full respect to the
flag when the pledge is given by merely standing at attention.
men removing the headdress. Persons in uniform shall render
the military salute.
Sec. 174. (a) It is the universal custom to display the flag only

(e) The flag should be displayed daily, weather permitting,
on or near the main administration building of every public in-
stitution.
(f) The flag should be displayed in or near every polling place
on election days.
(g) The flag should be displayed during school days in or
near every schoolhouse.
Sec. 175. The flag, when carried in a procession with another

except from a staff, or as provided in subsection (i) of this
section.

flag is displayed on a motorcar, the staff shall be fixed firmly to
the chassis or clamped to the radiator cap.
(c) No other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if
on the same level, to the right of the flag of the United States
of America, except during church services conducted by naval
chaplains at sea, when the church pennant may be flown above
the flag during the church services for the personnel of the Navy.
No person shall display the flag of the United Nations or any
other national or international flag equal, above or in a position
of superior prominence or honor to or in place of, the flag of the
United States at any place within the United States or any Terri-
tory or possession thereof: Provided. That nothing in this section

in positions of equal prominence or honor, with that of the flag
of the United States at the Headquarters of the United Nations.
(d) The flag of the United States of America, when it is dis-
played with another flag against a wall from crossed staffs,
should be on the right, the flag's own right, and its staff should
be in front of the staff of the other flag.
(e) The flag of the United States of America should be at the
center and at the highest point of the group when a number of
flags of States or localities or pennants of societies are grouped
and displayed from staffs.
(f) When flags of States, cities, or localities, or pennants of
societies are found on the same halyard with the flag of the
United States, the latter should always be at the peak. When

(g) When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are
to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags
should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids
the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation
in time of peace.
(h) When the flag of the United States is displayed from a
staff projecting horizontally or at an angle from the window
sill, balcony, or front of a building, the union of the flag should

flat, should be displaced above and behind the speaker. When
dispayed from a staff in a church or public auditorium, if it
is displayed in the chancel of a church, or on the speaker's plat-
form in a public auditorium, the flag should occupy the position
of honor and be placed at the clergyman's or speaker's right as
he faces the congregation or audience. Any other flag so displayed
in the chancel or on the platform should be placed at the clergy-
man's or speaker's left as he faces the congregation or audience.
But when the flag is displayed from a staff in a church or public
auditorium elsewhere than in the chancel or on the platform it
shall be placed in the position of honor at the right of the con-
gregation or audience as they face the chancel or platform. Any
other flag so displayed should be placed on the left of the con-
gregation or audience as they face the chancel or platform.
(1) The flag should form a distinctive feature of the cere-
mony of unveiling a statue or monument, but it should never
be used as the covering for the statue or monument.
(m) The flag, when flown at half-staff, should be first hoisted
to the peak for an instant and then lowered to the half-staff
position. The flag should be again raised to the peak before
it is lowered for the day. By "half-staff" is meant lowering the
flag to one-half the distance between the top and bottom of the
staff. Crepe streamers may be affixed to spear heads or flagstaffs
in a parade only by order of the President of the United States.
(n) When the flag is used to cover a casket, it should be so
placed that the union is at the head and over the left shoulder.
The flag should not be lowered into the grave nor allowed to
touch the ground.
Sec. 176. No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the
United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any per-
son or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization
or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.
(a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down
save as a signal of dire distress.
(b) The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as
the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.
The American Flag 93
(c) The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but
always aloft and free.
(d) The flag should never be used as drapery of any sort
whatsoever, never festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but
always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white and red, always;
arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the
red below, should be used for covering a speaker's desk, draping
the front of a platform, and for decoration in general.
(e) The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or

holding, carrying, or delivering anything.
(i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in
any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such

otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that
is designed for temporary use and discard; or used as any portion
of a costume or athletic uniform. Advertising signs should not
be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.
(j) The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer
a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified
way, preferably by burning.
Sec. 177. During the ceremony of hoisting or lowering tlie
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

in the moving column should be rendered at the moment the
flag passes.

Sec. 17S. Any rule or custom pertaining to the display of the
flag of the United States of America, set forth in sections 171-178
of this title, may be altered, modified, or repealed, or additional

The Pledge to the Flag
(Taught in many of the schools and repeated by pupils daily)
"I pledge allegiance to the tiag 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, 19.39).
was written by Francis Bellamy (August 1892), a member of the
editorial staff of The Youth's Companion, in Boston, Massachu-
setts. It was first repeated at the exercises in connection with
the celebration of Columbus Day (October 12, 1892, Old Style).
The idea of this national celebration on Columbus Day was largely
that of James B. Upham, one of the junior proprietors of The
Youth's Companion.
Francis Hopkinson, a signer of the Declaration of Independence,
was the designer of the Stars and Stripes — not Betsy Ross of
Philadelphia, who made flags. He also designed the first Great.
Seal of the United States, and a number of coins and several items
of paper currency in the early days of the Republic.
Hopkinson, born in Philadelphia (September 21, 1737), and a
graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, was the first native
American composer of a secular song, "My Days Have Been So
Wondrous Free." He was a lawyer and later a judge in New Jersey
and then in Pennsylvania. He died in Philadelphia (May 9, 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 8 8 feet above the level of the Potomac River and covers
an area of 153,112 square feet, or approximately three and one-
half acres. Its length, from north to south, is 751 feet, four inches;
its width, including approaches, is 350 feet; and its location is
described as being in latitude 38°53'20.4" N. and longitude
70'^00'35.7" W. from Greenwich. Its height above the base line on
the east front to the top of the Statue of Freedom is 28 7 feet,
five and one-half inches. The dome is built of iron, and the aggre-
gate weight of material used in its construction is 8,909,200
pounds.
The Statue of Freedom surmounting the dome is of bronze and
weighs 14,985 pounds. It was modeled by Thomas Crawford,
father of Francis Marion Crawford, the novelist, in Rome, and
the plaster model shipped to this country. It was cast in bronze
at the shops ot 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 plaste,-
model. It was erected and placed in its present position Decembei
2, 1863.
The grounds have had an area of 58.8 acres, at one time a part
of Cern Abby Manor, and at an early date were occupied by a
subtribe of the Algonquin Indians known as the Powhatans, whose
council house was then located at the foot of the hill. By sub-
sequent purchase of ground at the North of the Capitol and at
the west of the new House Office building the area of the grounds
has been increased to 139 1/4 acres.
The Rotunda is 97 feet 6 inches in diameter, and its height from
the floor to the top of the canopy is 180 feet, 3 inches.
The Senate Chamber is 113 feet, 3 inches, in length by 80 feet,
3 inches, in width and 3 6 feet in height. The galleries will ac-
commodate 68 2 persons.
The Representatives' Hall is 139 feet in length by 93 feet in
width and 3 6 feet in height.
The room, until 1935 the meeting place of the Supreme Court,
was, until 18 59, occupied as the Senate Chamber. Previous to that
95
!h; North Carolina Manual
time the court occupied the room immediately beneath, now used
as a law library.
The Capitol has a floor area of 14 acres, and 4 30 rooms are de-
voted to office, committee, and storage purposes. There are 14.5 IS
square feet of skylights, 679 windows, and 550 doorways.
The dome receives light through 108 windows, and from the
architect's office to the dome there are 3 65 steps, one for each day
of the year.
The southeast cornerstone of the original building was laid Sep-
tember 18, 1793, by President Washington, with Masonic cere-
monies. It is constructed of sandstone from quarries on Aquia
Creek, Va. The original designs were prepared by Dr. William
Thornton, and the work was done under the direction of Stephen
H. Hallet, James Hoban, George Hadfield. and B. H. Latrobe,
architects.
The north wing was finished in ISOU 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 co the building was immediately repaired.
In 1818 the central portion of the building was commenced
under the architectural superintendence of Charles Bullfinch. The
original building was finally completed in 18 27. Its cost, including
the grading of the grounds, alterations, and repairs, up to 18 27,
was $2,433,844.13.
The cornerstone of the extensions was laid on the Fourth of
July, 1851, by President Fillmore, Daniel Webster officiating as
orator. This work was prosecuted under the architectual direc-
tion of Thomas U. Walter until 18 65, when he resigned, and it was
completed under the supervision of Edward Clark. The material
used in the walls is white marble from the quarries of Lee. Massa-
chusetts, and that in the columns from the quarries from 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 190 5 and occupied on
January 10, 1908; later a story on top was added. The Senate
office building was started in 1906 and occupied on March 5, 1909.
The House building cost, with site, $4,860,155; the Senate struc-
ture, $5,019,251.

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
(Unanimously Adopted in Congress, July 4, 1776, at Philadelphia)
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for
one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected
them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth,
the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and
of Nature's God entitles them, a decent respect to the opinions of
mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel
them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident : That all men are creat-
ed equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain in-
alienable Rights; that among these are Life, Liberty and the pur-
suit of Happiness. That, to secure these rights, Governments are
instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent
of the governed; That, whenever any Form of Government be-
comes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to
alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its
foundations on such principles, and organizing its powers in such
forms, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and
Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long
established should not be changed for light and transient causes;
and, accordingly, all experience hath shewn, that mankind are
more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right
themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invari-
ably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under abso-
lute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such
Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies, and such
is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former
Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great
Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all hav-
ing in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over
these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid
world.
He has refused his assent to Laws, the most wholesome and
necessary for the public good.
98
Declakatiox oi- Independence 99
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, aiid unacknowledged by our laws;
giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
100 North Carolina Manual
For protecting them, by a inock Trial, from punishment for any
Murders which they shoukl commit on the inhabitants of these
States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by
jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas, to be tried for pretended offenses;
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbor-
ing Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and
enlarging its Boundaries, so as to render it at once an example
and flit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into
these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable
Laws, and altering fundamentally, the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves
invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his
Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns,
and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign mer-
cenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny,
already begun with circumstances of Cruelty and perfidy scarcely
paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the
Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow-Citizens, taken captive on the
high Seas, to bear Arms against their Country, to become the exe-
cutioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by
their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has en-
deavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merci-
less Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undis-
tinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Re-
dress in the most humble terms; Our repeated Petitions have been
answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is
thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant; is unfit to
be the ruler of a free people.
Declaration of Independence 101
Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British brethren.
We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their
legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We
have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and
settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and
magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our com-
mon kindred to disavow these usurpations, whicli 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 tlie necessity, which denounces our Separation,
and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind — Enemies in War,
in Peace Friends.
We. Theeefore, the Representatives of the United Stales of
America, in General Congress Assembled; appealing to the Su-
preme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do,
in the Name and by authority of the good People of these Colonies,
solemnly publish and declare. That these United Colonies are, and
of Right ought to be free and independent States; that they are
Absolved from All Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all
political connections between them and the State of Great Britain
is, and ought to be, totally dissolved; and that as Free and Inde-
pendent States, they have full power to levy War, conclude Peace,
contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts
and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for
the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the pro-
tection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other
our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

Eighteenth Census of the United States: 19GO
The population of North Carolina's urban places continued to
grow faster than that of the rural areas between 1950 and 19 6U.
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 3 9.5 per cent of the State's popula-
tion in 1960 as compared with 33.7 per cent in 1950. Rural areas
in 19 60 accounted for 60.5 per cent of the total population. The
Census Bureau considers as urban areas the incorporated places of
2,500 or more, or unincorporated places of 2',500 or more located
outside urbanized areas. The remaining territory is classified as
rural.
There were 3 5 incorporated places of 10,0 0 0 or more in 19 GO.
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
witli 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 betwen 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.

NORTH CAROLINA DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
FOR 1962
The Democrats of North Carolina, in convention assembled,
offer the following Platform of the Democratic Party of North
Carolina for 1962-63 :
PREAMBLE
We commend the Democratic Party to the voters of North
Carolina on the strength of its principles, its performance, and
its promise for the future.
Through more than a century and a half of service, the Demo-
cratic Party has proven itself capable of mastering new condi-
tions, new challenges, new opportunities. Confident of the future,
the Democratic Party has been the creative leader of those pro-
found changes which have brought our Nation to its present
greatness and have given America's citizens the highest degree of
personal freedom, self-government, and economic prosperity that
the world has ever known.
For over sixty years, the people of North Carolina have en-
trusted the government of this State to the Democratic Party,
and the Democratic Party has been faithful to that trust. The
immeasurable social and economic progress which this State has
experienced under Democratic leadership is ample proof of the
capacity of the Democratic Party to govern well and is the best
argument for continued public confidence in our Party.
The Democratic Party recognizes that as great and fortunate
as our Nation and our State are, there is still much to be done
if we are to assure to all of our people the full measure of oppor-
tunity which is their birthright as American citizens. To its
doing we pledge the best efforts of the Democratic Party of North
Carolina.
We also pledge the Democratic Party to strict adherence to con-
stitutional government, and reaffirm that a frequent recurrence
to fundamental principles is absolutely necessary to preserve the
blessings of liberty.
NATIONAL AFFAIRS
We heartily approve the vigorous and intelligent leadership
which President John F. Kennedy is giving our Nation.
146
146 XoiMu Cakoi.ina Mam
AI.
Eight years of Republican-led confusion, indifference, and un-
certainty of national purpose tragically weakened the power and
respect which the United States had gained as the defender of
freedom under Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S.
Truman. Yet in his brief time, President Kennedy has moved
confidently to re-establish world-wide respect for the United States
as a nation determined to seek peace through wise and firm policies
backed up by unchallengeable strength, a nation ready to share
its knowledge and resources with other free nations striving to
better the lot of all their people.
In domestic affairs, President Kennedy has reasserted the his-
toric concern of the Democratic Party for the political, social, and
economic well-being of our whole citizenry.
North Carolina is justly proud of the high standing which many
of her citizens enjoy in the cabinet and councils of the National
Democratic Administration. They are serving their Nation and
their Party with distinction.
Our Democratic Senators and Representatives in Congress have
continued to exert large influence in national legislative affairs.
We applaud the vigor and determination with which they have
served their Nation and their State.
STATE GOVERNMENT
Executive
Governor Terry Sanford has already earned his place in the
proud tradition of Democratic Governors from Charles B. Aycock
to Luther H. Hodges. His courageous and enlightened efforts to
better the educational opportunities of our youth, to raise the
income level of all of our people, to continue the sound adminis-
tration of our public affairs, and to promote the welfare of all of
the people of North Carolina have earned the admiration and
the gratitude of the State.
Democratic administrative officials, both elective and appointive,
are strengthening the Democratic habit of sound and progressive
state and local government.
Our state employees are rendering loyal and devoted service.
They are due much of the credit for the efficient and economical
way in which the duties of state government are performed. To
Democratic Platform 147
them we pledge fair treatment and just compensation. The Demo-
cratic Party share the jealous regard in which state employees
hold their high reputation for integrity and faithful service, and
joins them in their determination to maintain that reputation
unimpaired.
A notable feature of North Carolina state government is the
extensive use of part-time boards, commissions, and committees as
governing and advisory bodies for state agencies and institutions
and as councils for developing state policy. In this way, more
than 1,600 public-spirited citizens take a direct, active part in
the governing of North Carolina.
Legislative
Throughout this century, the people have given control of the
General Assembly to Democratic majorities, and the General
Assembly in turn has given the people forward-looking laws and
public policies.
The 1961 General Assembly, in keeping with that sound legis-
lative tradition, voted record appropriations for education and
other public services while balancing the budget, reapportioned
the state House of Representatives, and enacted other important
legislation furthering the welfare of the people of our State. It
also submitted to the voters constitutional amendments to
strengthen our state court system, to provide for executive suc-
cession, and to insure periodic reapportionment of the state House
of Representatives.
We pledge a continuation of responsible legislative leadership
and we favor fair representation in the General Assembly.
Judiciary
The members of the state judiciary have administered their
high duties impartially, faithfully, and wisely.
We commend the 1961 General Assembly for proposing a con-
stitutional amendment which, if approved by the voters this fall,
will do much to insure greater uniformity and efficiency in the
organization and operation of our courts.
FISCAL AFFAIRS
The financial policies of the State and the prudent management
of our financies are among the most noteworthy achievements of
148 Xninii C.Mtor.iXA Man [ai.
the Dt'iiioeratic trusteeship of North Carolina government. Through
successive administrations and legislatures, continuity of policy
and fiscal integrity have been maintained.
These accomplishments, together with intelligent debt manage-
ment practices, have given our state bonds the highest rating
obtainable and have made possible a reduction of the state debt.
The state budget has not only been balanced, but all expenditures
have been fully justified.
The Democratic Party pledges a continuation of the sound
management of our public finances which has made North Carolina
an example envied among the states.
TAXATION
The Democratic Party supports a tax structure that equitably
distributes the costs of those services which it is the duty of
government to render, while giving proper encouragement to
economic growth. Just, fair, and firm administration of the tax
laws is essential to public confidence.
Through these policies, coupled with efficient governmental
administration at all levels. North Carolina has retained one of
the Nation's lowest levels of combined state and local taxation per
capita, while offering programs of public service which are in
many areas nationally outstanding.
We favor continued emphasis on the economical administration
of government and we oppose any increase in state taxes.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Devotion to public education has been the chief strength of North
Carolina throughout this century, for we recognize that education
is the key to responsible citizenship and to individual and collective
enlightenment and economic progress. All evidence attests the fact
that today North Carolina is educating more young people for
more pursuits and is doing it more eff'ectively than ever before.
Responding to the bold leadership of Governor Sanford, the
General Assembly of 1961 provided for a major advance in public
education.
To raise our public schools to the level of the best in the United
States will, however, require steady eff"ort over many years. More-
over, our low per capita income both proves the necessity of
Demockatic Platform 149
providing wider educational opportunities and requires that North
Carolina devote a larger proportion of her means to education than
do most states.
Realizing that the expenditure of more money is not the only
route to educational improvement, Governor Sanford and the
Democratic Party, together with educators and interested citizens
across the State, are working diligently to insure that the curricu-
lum in every school meets the students' varied needs, to achieve
excellence in teaching and learning, to keep students in school,
to reduce the distractions from the fundamental business of edu-
cation, and to encourage greater local support of schools.
Through the recently-established industrial education centers,
training and retraining are being provided to increase the skills
and earning power of many thousands of our citizens in trades
and industries.
The Democratic Party rejoices in the growing popular en-
thusiasm for education and pledges untiring effort towards its
advancement.
HIGHER EDUCATION
The sixty-two public and private institutions of higher educa-
tion in North Carolina, now enrolling 75,000 students, have con-
tributed immeasurably to the progress of our State. Public support
of our State institutions has grown steadily in recent years in
recognition of the large return the State receives on that invest-
ment.
Yet only one-half of our young people complete high school,
only one-fifth of them enter college, and less than one-tenth of
them graduate from college — this in an age when the level of edu-
cation required for personal advancement and indeed for national
security is constantly rising.
The need to encourage and aid more able young people to go to
college is obvious. But even without unusual efforts of that kind,
the numbers of people seeking admission to our public and pri-
vate colleges will probably exceed present enrollments by fifty
per cent in 1967 and by one hundred per cent in 1975. An in-
creasing proportion will be attending public colleges. Merely to
house and to teach so many students will require a major effort on
150 North Carolina Manual
the part of the State. And provision for greater numbers of stu-
dents must be accompanied by constant insistence on excellence in
all of our public institutions.
The Democratic Party reaffirms its conviction that it is the duty
of the State to provide for all of our qualified youth post-high
school educational opportunities suited to their needs and abilities,
and pledges its continued support of the University and the public
colleges to that end.
PUBLIC WELFARE
The Democratic Party has a long record of major achievement in
public welfare at the state and national levels, reflecting its deep
concern for the well-being of all of the people. We acknowledge
the obligation of government to provide essential welfare services
for those needy citizens who are too old, too young, or too dis-
abled to work; and to provide preventive and rehabilitative serv-
ices to help people to help themselves become self-supporting. We
pledge our continued interest in propei'ly administered public wel-
fare programs essential to the fulfillment of those humanitarian
obligations.
HEALTH AND HOSPITALS
The support of successive Democratic Governors and legislatures
and the guidance of able professional leaders have provided North
Carolina with nationally distinguished programs of care and re-
habilitation for our mentally ill and retarded. The Democratic
Party pledges its continued aid in providing the facilities, the
trained personnel, and the sound administrative organization
necessary to maintain progressive mental health programs.
We advocate the steady improvement of public health services
throughout the State and the close cooperation of local, state, and
federal agencies in providing more adequate hospital facilities for
all of our people.
CORRECTIONAL PROGRAMS
North Carolina has made long strides forward in its correctional
programs under Democratic Governors.
Democratic Platform 151
Our prison facilities are being modernized. The administrative
organization and staffing of our prison system have been strength-
ened. Programs of custody, treatment, training, and rehabilitation
have been steadily improved in order that society may be pro-
tected, and in order that prisoners may be humanely treated and
usefully employed while in prison and may return to society with
better prospects for leading useful and law-abiding lives. We en-
dorse the continuation of these enlightened policies.
We reaffii'm the value of probation and parole as parts of a
progressive correctional system, and we favor their fullest
practicable use.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
North Carolina's firm commitment to the private enterprise
system, her plentiful labor supply, her record of good government,
her transportation system, and her natural advantages combine
to make this State attractive to industrial development and expan-
sion. Population growth, declining employment in agriculture, and
the necessity of raising our personal income level require that we
exert every effort to create new and profitable jobs for our people.
Under the dynamic leadership of our Democratic Governors, the
Department of Conservation and Development and countless busi-
ness and civic leaders throughout the State have prosecuted an
effective campaign to encourage the industrial development of
the State. The results have been highly gratifying.
A record for industrial growth was set in 1961, with over $279
million in capital improvements being announced for 503 new and
expanded manufacturing facilities. And under Democratic leader-
ship, 1962 should be even better. The State's export trade will
be promoted. Increased use of the products of our 7,500 manu-
facturing establishments will be encouraged. More food processing
plants will be sought in order to make fuller use of the products
of our land and waters. Mineral and forest production will be
increased. Further improvements in the commercial fishing indus-
try are planned. Even greater use of our outstanding public and
commercial recreational facilities is in prospect.
Our state ports, the creation of Democratic vision, are showing
healthy growth in facilities and in business. Not only do the ports
152 North Carolina Manual
materially aid North Carolina's extensive industrial and agricul-
tural production for export, but the seaport operations themselves
contribute substantially to the State's economy.
We favor the expansion of public utilities and public service
companies to serve the growing- needs of our people, and we sup-
port the regulation of those enterprises in the interest of reason-
able rates and sound expansion.
The Democratic Party pledges redoubled emphasis on the broad
economic development of our State.
AGRICULTURE
We recognize North Carolina's historic commitment to agricul-
ture, the industry most basic to human survival. All efforts to
develop the economy of our State must keep in view the central
character of our agricultural economy and the need to preserve
and strengthen it to the utmost.
Today North Carolina farms are more productive than ever
before. But modern farming methods make this possible with
fewer workers: one-eighth of the State's labor force is in agri-
culture today, contrasted with one-quarter only a decade ago.
And for those who stay on the farm, the return is too often too
meager.
We must maintain a well-balanced economy and we must halt
the depopulation of our farms. To do these things we must make
farming more profitable to large numbers of people and use the
products of the farm as the basis of a major segment of our
expanding industry.
The Democratic Party pledges its firm support for:
1. Agricultural research to advance production and marketing
efficiency, particularly in areas such as food production where we
have vast but scarcely realized advantages in soil, climate and
geography.
2. Intensified efforts in the development of production and
marketing organizations and facilities which will help the farmer,
especially the small farmer, to grow produce of high quality in
large quantity and move it promptly and profitably into the chan-
nels of commerce.
3. The development of food processing and packaging industries
which will increase the demand for farm output, provide employ-
Democeatic Platform 153
ment for many people, and keep in North Carolina a larger share
of the profits which others now reap from our resources and our
labor.
4. The Rural Electrification Administration and the Rural
Telephone Program, which have added immeasurably to rural
living and productivity.
The return of the national administration to the control of
the Democratic Party, ever the faithful friend of agriculture, has
already given the farmer fresh hope.
NATURAL RESOURCES
Acknowledging that this generation is but the temporary trustee
of the bounty of land and water with which North Carolina is
blessed, we pledge our Party's continued support of programs for
the conservation and wise use of our soil, our water resources,
and our natural recreational advantages, in order that succeeding
generations may derive pleasure and profit from them.
LABOR
The Democratic Party of North Carolina is deeply conscious
of the important role of the half-million North Carolinians em-
ployed in manufacturing and of the hundreds of thousands engaged
in other industrial and commercial pursuits. The adoption of a
state minimum wage law in 1959 and its broadening in 1961 by
Democratic General Assemblies are ample evidence of our concern
for the well-being of the wage earner. Fifteen industrial educa-
tion centers throughout the state are providing training which
enables many thousands of citizens to acquire or improve occupa-
tional skills and so to increase their earnings.
We pledge our support for humane labor laws, safe and healthful
working conditions, fair compensation for the workers in industry.
and laws guaranteeing employees the right to work and employers
the right to conduct their business as free citizens.
HIGHWAYS
North Carolina has long had the largest state system of roads
in the Nation. Under Democratic guidance, 71,000 miles of roads
and streets have been built, maintained and improved. Included
154 Noinii Cai!oi,i.\a Mantai,
are 11,000 miles of Primary Highways, 3,000 miles of municipal
roads and highways, and 57,000 miles of Secondary Rural Roads.
This vast network of highways and roads contributes greatly
to the progress of the State in industry, agriculture, education and
recreation. Under Democratic Administrations, the State has con-
structed direct routes connecting county seats and a system of
through highways for the expeditious and safe flow of tourist
traffic and commerce, and has hard-surfaced a system of farm-
to-market roads throughout the State. Additional paving is being
programmed and completed annually.
The Democratic Party pledges continued improvement and ex-
pansion of the existing system of good roads and highways in
North Carolina through the fair distribution of construction and
maintenance funds.
HIGHWAY SAFETY
Under Democratic Administrations, North Carolina has forged a
national reputation for the high quality of its highway safety pro-
gram, producing a nationally-acclaimed Highway Patrol, a driver
licensing program which has been a model for other states, and an
award-winning high school driver education program.
The Democratic Party pledges its continued interest in pro-
tecting citizens from death and injury on the highways.
CULTURAL AFFAIRS
Conscious of the needs of man's spirit, our State has established
a museum of art, assisted a symphony orchestra, aided historical
dramas, sponsored the restoration of historic sites and the celebra-
tion of great events past, and in other ways has sought to foster
an appreciation of North Carolina's cultural inheritance and her
creative promise. We favor the continuation of these worthy
undertakings.
CONCLUSION
Committed by history and by conviction to the preservation
of the liberties and the broadening of the opportunities of the
individual, the Democratic Party reaffirms these as the worthiest
DEMOrUATIC Pr.ATFORAr 155
purposes of any party and of any government. Drawn from the
great body of North Carolinians and nurtured in love of this State,
the Democratic Party reasserts its faith in the greatness of North
Carolina in heritage and in destiny. Grateful to the voters of North
Carolina for having given into our keeping the powers of state
government for these six decades, and conscious of the duty of
continuously justifying the people's faith by the responsible exe-
cution of their trust, we pledge the Democratic Party to the
furtherance of those principles and policies which will enable all
of the people of North Carolina to realize in increasing measure
their own highest aspirations.

NORTH CAROLINA REPUBLICAN STATE
PLATFORM 1962
The strength of North Carolina is the preservation of the great-
est natural i-esource we possess — the God given ability of human
and individual resourcefulness. The catalyst for preservation and
growth of individual resourcefulness is free enterprise, and it is
the duty of the State Government of North Carolina to preserve,
protect, and encourage orderly individualism in our society .
There are two methods by which our State Government can
create a climate conducive to free enterprise and eternal liberty —
First, by an adherence to the mandate of our Constitution for a
frequent recurrence to fundamental principles; and, secondly, by
a constant and critical re-evaluation of programs and policies
enacted by the General Assembly of North Carolina.
To the end of equal protection of life and liberty for all citizens
of North Carolina with opportunity for individual enterprise, we,
the Republican Party of North Carolina, do dedicate ourselves
and consecrate our energies to implementing these, our beliefs and
objectives.
National Affairs
We, the Republican Party, believe that government exists for
the purpose of creating a climate conducive to private enterprise.
The Kennedy Administration has made the people aware of the
philosophy of the Democratic Party which is to create and parcel
out the economy. In less than a year and one-half the Democrat
Administration has created more than sixteen new give-away pro-
grams for the people of our Country. Already, the President has
requested power to raise the national debt limit which is already at
a staggering $296,000,000,000.00. We condemn deficit spending as
an abuse and disregard of the public trust we hold for future
generations of Americans.
We commend the courageous battle so ably led by Republican
Congi-essional leaders to halt the Democrat Party march toward
a socialized state. Significantly enough, the Republican leadership
has been joined on many occasions by southern Democrats who
are finding the Kennedy Administration proposals gastronomically
indigestible.
200
Republican Platform 201
We commend the courageous ability, integrity, and sincerity
of that consistent advocate of sound principles of good govern-
ment, Congressman Charles Raper Jonas — unqualifiedly and with-
out reservation — we enthusiastically endorse and command his
outstanding record.
We urge the re-election of Congressman Jonas and the election
of other Republicans to Congress to promulgate the principles of
sound government envisioned by President Abraham Lincoln and
nurtured by the integrity of President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
State Affairs
North Carolina possesses potential unexcelled by any of the other
49 States. That potential is the ability of our citizens. This State
has been unable to utilize its potential because of the one-party
system of government exhibited by the Democrat Party in the last
60 years. When any political party is too long in power, it be-
comes primarily interested in its own perpetuation without pri-
mary regard to the best interest of the people.
We defy the Democrat Party to deny the proposition that an
active two-party system of government is in the best interest of
the State of North Carolina. As illustration and evidence of the
need for a two-party system of government, we present our stand-
ards for good government.
Public Education
With a firm conviction that an excellent educational system is
the first prerequisite for representative government, and with the
belief that only educated citizens can preserve the liberties won
for them at great cost by their forefathers, the Republican Party
in North Carolina dedicates itself to the position that education
is the most important function of State and Local Government
in a free society.
We praise the dedication our teachers have shown under adverse
circumstances. For too long our educational program has been
shackled by the chains of a one-party system of government con-
trolled by the Democrat Party. North Carolina's public education
program ranks 45th in the Nation — Only 20% of North Carolina's
citizens over 25 years of age have a high school education.
202 XiiiMi! Cauoi.i.na Manual
A comparison of the educational history of Republican States
with that of Democrat States dui'injr the last 60 years points to the
undeniable fact that Republican States lead the Nation in the
field of education, while Democrat States rank near the bottom
in every evaluation of school standards. We pledge ourselves to
the task of elevating North Carolina from the low educational
position she has occupied during 60 years of Democrat rule.
The Republican Party favors a program of incentives and
teacher selection to attract and hold superior teachers. Instruc-
tors should be highly trained for the areas in which they teach.
Teachers must be given time to teach and pupils time in which
to learn. We support special programs for the exceptionally
talented and for the handicapped. We favor more emphasis on
physical fitness in athletic programs, and less attention to
spectator sports.
We believe that students must attend classes regularly. To
guarantee maximum attendance by all children of school age, we
favor laws to provide at least one attendance counselor for each
of the administrative school units of North Carolina. Because the
Democrat Party has been unwilling to accept the responsibility
for amending the archaic and antiquated truancy laws, there are
approximately 75,000 boys and girls absent from the class rooms
each day our public schools are open.
The Republican Party is committed to the principle that each
generation should furnish adequate support for the training of
its youth. It is opposed to programs of deficit finance, which bind
future generations to relieve the present of its responsibilities.
We pledge ourselves to efficient administration, maximum use of
school facilities, and the elimination of frills or waste in our
educational system. We promise constant scrutiny of the entire
educational system to the end that essentials be held in focus and
the goal of an educated citizenry be realized.
Local Control of Education
The Republican Party believes firmly that education by Con-
stitution, tradition, and conviction is a responsibility of parents,
communities, and separate States. We are inexorably opposed to
Federal aid, or to any other program designed to centralize control
of our schools in some bureaucracy far removed from the area
where the student and parent live.
Republican Pi.atkok.m 203
We aie opposed to the present methods of selecting school boards
in North Carolina. We favor the selection of all educational
boards simultaneously in biennial, non-partisan elections by pop-
ular vote of the people where the school board is to serve.
We believe that these boards should serve on a rotational basis,
so as to guarantee maximum continuity. We condemn the Demo-
crat Party for refusing to allows the people to elect their own
school boards. The people of North Carolina are required to pay
the cost of public education — they are entitled to participate in
the selection of the school boards.
Higher Education
The Republican Party favors continued expansion of our sys-
tem of higher education in keeping with the steady increase of
population and growing complexity of modern society. We favor
careful screening of applicants and high standards of performance
by those enrolled at such schools.
We favor an expansion of the regional Industrial Training Cen-
ter Program. We approve the idea of community colleges and
believe that in the near future, a branch of the university should
be established somewhere in Western North Carolina. We feel
that, in any expansion of our system of higher education, the
interests of the State's excellent private colleges should be given
careful consideration.
The Republican Party feels that justice demands that the govern-
ing boards of all institutions of higher education be selected on a
non-partisan basis.
Election Laws
The Constitution of the State of North Carolina, in Article I,
Section 10, very properly declares, "all elections ought to be
free." This is the shortest and most ignored provision in the
North Carolina Constitution. The election laws are drawn to give
maximum advantage to the Democrat Party. It is administered
at every level by boards controlled by the Democrat Party, and
such control is not considered to be a Judicial function; but rathei-
a part of the partisan apparatus of the party. Even our Courts
have been consistently unwilling to limit the abuses of power made
possible under this setup.
204 NoKTH Carolina Manual
These evils have become a part of the system and only a radical
revision of our election laws can guarantee to the people of our
State really free elections. We the Republican Party, advocate:
1. The transfer of the control of elections from the Democrat
Party, where it now resides, to a system of non-partisan boards
who will exercise a generally judicial function and which will be
removed as far as possible from partisan control. This is ab-
solutely necessary on both the State and County level, and the pre-
cinct election officials should be appointed with the understanding
that they represent the State of North Carolina and not any
political party.
2. The conduct of elections should be drastically changed by
removing the so-called markers who now infest the polls at most
polling places in our State and who perform no proper or useful
function; but who, on the other hand, merely act as solicitors on
behalf of particular political parties, and who often intimidate
voters, and whose presence make fraud more possible and easier
to perpetuate. Hundreds of polling places in North Carolina do
not even now conform to the Statutory requirements.
The absentee ballot should be abolished. It is now openly used
as an instrument of fraud. Such use is not occasional, but is
widespread and is cynically admitted on the floors of our Legisla-
ture. It has been abolished in our Primaries, where the Demo-
crat Party is fond of boasting the real decision is made, but is
deliberately retained in the General Election for the avowed pur-
pose of making certain that the Republicans are defeated by what-
ever means may be required; or to put it another way. "By hook
or by crook".
3. The entire State should have a new registration and the
registration books should be carefully purged to eliminate the
thousands of voters who now cast their ballots from the grave-
yard. A modernized system of registration should be adopted
and the registration books should be kept current.
4. The pretense that party registration can or should govern
the free exercise of any voter's honest choice at election time,
should be specifically disavowed by Statutory enactment and the
requirements now written in the election laws, which require
voters to take pledges of party loyalty undertaking to bind their
future votes as a prerequisite for changing party affiliation or
Republican Platfokii 205
running' for office, should be repealed. Voting in Primaries should
be governed by party registration, but party affiliation should be
determined by a mere declaration of intent.
If these things are done, we will have the genuinely free elec-
tions in North Carolina that are supposed to be guaranteed by
our Constitution. Then our election procedures may be expected to
produce truly Democratic government rather than the continu-
ation of a one-party system of government on the basis of in-
timidation, coercion, and fraud.
Realignment of Senatorial Districts
The Constitution of North Carolina contains a clear and un-
equivocal mandate that the State Senatorial Districts must be
redivided after every Federal census. This census is taken each
ten years. Yet, the Democrat Party has failed and refused to
comply with this mandate to the end that citizens in this State
are denied the right to full and equal voting privileges. Each of
the 50 State Senators should represent as nearly as may be
possible an equal number of people — yet in the 29th District, a
Senator represents 45,000 people; while a Senator in the 20th
District represents 272,000.
We, the Republicans, condemn the opposition party for violation
of this Constitutional requirement; and we believe the Republican
Legislators who unanimously supported equal representation by
introducing such legislation have followed the equitable and Con-
stitutional course of action.
Congressional Redistricting
The General Assembly of 1961 with the approval of the Gov-
ernor and over the protest of Republican Legislators redistrieted
the U. S. Congressional Districts without consideration for the
people, but with the one purpose of defeating the lone Republican
Congressman, Charles Raper -Jonas. No political party can per-
petuate itself by anxious and arbitrary methods of redistrictirig
which are designed to desecrate and destroy the opposition. We
believe that political parties are servants of the people; while
on the other hand, the Democrats in office have demonstrated th;ir
belief by redistricting the legislature that people are the servants
of their political party.

Taxation
After 60 years of rule, the Democrat Party must take credit foi'
the fact, that per capita income in North Carolina is one of the
lowest of all 50 States; and at the same time our taxation is one
of the highest.
Under Governor Sanford's leadership, the Democrat Party im-
posed the "Food Tax" upon the people of our State over the voiced
objection of the Republican Legislators. The Governor, in public,
announced in February, 1961, that 500,000 North Carolinians
were unable to provide food for themselves and he advocated
participation in the Federal Food Surplus Act. In less than one
week, the Governor began to press for passage of the "Food Tax".
This is an illogical and unfair burden upon the people least able
to pay. We doubt the wisdom of imposing a tax which can deprive
certain groups of the basic necessities of life regardless of the
use for which the taxation is imposed. The results of tax legis-
lation passed by the Democrat controlled Legislature clearly in-
dicates an oppressive burden upon the citizens of our State, while
a few politically favored special interest groups have unfair
advantages.
North Carolina's tax rate is among the highest in the Union —
a record not designed to be looked upon with pride. If private
enterprise and individual ingenuity are to prosper and thrive in
this State, it is imperative that we have and we do advocate a
thorough revision of the tax structure without regard to special
interest groups.
Efficiency in State Administration
The State Government is now North Carolina's biggest business
with an expenditure of over $1,500,000,000.00 bi-annually for oper-
ations. If the operational budget grows in the next bi-annum at the
same average rate that it has since the Democrat Party came into
power, it will be necessary to find new taxes in the amount of
.$150,000,000.00 over and above the taxation now imposed. The
State of North Carolina now employs over 70,000 persons; it is
absolutely necessary and imperative that North Carolina have
personnel policies commensurate with its responsibilities as an
employer.
Republican Platform 209
The Republican Party advocates effective government manage-
ment in North Carolina designed to bring about important results
for our State. Among the benefits of this effective government
management are:
1. Better service and more results from each tax dollar.
2. Government operations would be simplified and I'esponsibility
pin-pointed.
3. Governmental controls which reach into every facet of our
personal and business life could be held to a minimum allowing
private enterprise to have a freer operation under clearly defined
rules and regulations.
4. The Governor of our State would become an Executive in the
truest sense — thus eliminating the use of personal influence or
appointments, indirect controls, and the use of the Executive
Budget Act as a means of accomplishing some semblance of
administration.
We believe that the tools necessary to accomplish the Republican
objective of efficient administration of government are as follows:
1. Authorization by the Legislature to study each individual
agency of the State with the prime objective of consolidating many
of the approximately 170 existing agencies.
2. Establishment of a Civil Service System for State employees.
3. Creation of veto power for the Governor of our State —
North Carolina is the only State which does not allow the Gover-
nor such power.
4. Appoint a budgetary overseer responsible only to the General
Assembly whose duties would be similar to the Comptroller Gen-
eral of the United States.
5. Encouragement of local autonomy of Counties and Munic-
ipalities of this State in matters which are purely of local concern.
6. Legislation setting up standing legislative committees to
make a continued study of State Agencies with responsibility to
make recommendations for more efficiency.
State Employees
The Republican Party commends the excellent service of State
Employees who have done their jobs despite the undue burden
of political pressure exerted by the Democrat Party. It has been and
is the desire to the Republican Party to enhance the position and
lilO XoKiii Cauoi.i.na iVIa.miai,
security of State Employees. Republicans in the 19G1 General
Assembly sponsored and supported legislation to that end ; the
Democrats in Legislature blocked this legislation. A politically
free Civil Service System would eliminate political servitude as it
now exists and would allow State Employees to concentrate upon
the productive work of their office.
Graft and Corruption
The recent public announcement of graft and corruption in the
administration of our State government is of great concern to
the Republican Party. The expose points unerringly to the con-
clusion that after 60 years of power, any political organization
tsnds to become lethargic and thus susceptible to this very
situation.
The recent dismissal of a prominent employee of the State
Highway Department and resulting indictments involving a
prominent politician show that all is not well in the administration
of state government. North Carolina needs a new broom wielded
by men and women who don't have to sweep any mud under
the rug.
After 60 years of control by the Democrat Party, it is time for
an intensive audit of State practices and policies.
Roads and Highways
Originally, the State Highway Commission was set up on a
non-partisan basis and North Carolina's road system became one
of the best. Recently, however, the opposition has made this
Commission an integral part of its own political organization.
We condemn the Democrat practice of replacing virtually every
member of the Highway Commission each four years as a reward
for party loyalty. We maintain that this constant reshuffling of
appointed personnel effectively prevents a long-range, coordinated
program of highway construction and maintenance. The Re-
publican Party advocates and insists upon non-partisan Road
Commissioners and the hiring of personnel for our road construc-
tion and maintenance based upon qualification instead of political
loyalty.

Highway Safety
The Republican Party has long advocated a sensible program of
strict law enforcement in North Carolina, especially as it pertains
to our roads and highways. The inadequacy of the highway safety
program is sadly and clearly shown by the fact that each year
moi'e than 1200 persons die on the roads of this State. We have
one of the largest fatality rates in the entire Country. Habitual
speeders, drunk drivers, and racers have no right to the use of
our highways. We believe that we must teach traffic violators
by strengthened enforcement laws and vigorous prosecution thereof
that driving on our highways is a privilege and not an inherent
right.
Judiciary
The administration of Justice in North Carolina has needed
sensible modernization for many years. Were it not for the fact
that the court improvement legislation received the unanimous
support and vote of all Republicans in the 1961 General Assembly,
no legislation affecting improvement of the Judiciary would have
been passed. These Republicans have kept faith with the people
of North Carolina by supporting legislation creating the machinery
for uniformity in the lower court system, up-dating the procedural
laws and expediting the administration of Justice. The Democrats
have shovv^ed bad faith by opposing Republican sponsored legisla-
tion designed to allow open election of Judges by the District
where they are to serve. The Republican Party will continue to
advocate open and uninhibited election of Judges in this State by
the people in the district where the Judge is to serve.
Liquor Control
The Republican Party sincerely believes that the will of the
majority should control the economic, social, and moral standard
of our State. It is with this basic belief in our philosophy that
we re-affirm our stand and advocate a Statewide referendum with
regard to the sale of alcoholic beverages.
Banking
Modern economy is facilitated by the transfer of money through
the use of checks. One draw-back to the economy is the fact that
some North Carolina banks do not cash checks at par. We advo-
cate the elimination of non-par checks.
212 North Cabomxa Manual
Agriculture
A healthy agricultural economy is necessary to the realization
of a healthy economy throughout this entire State. The Republican
Party admonishes the opposition to consider the plight of the
farmer after 60 years under the Democrat Party. Today, farm
income is only 43 % of the average of non-farm incomes — $965.00
as compared to $2,216.00; and in North Carolina, the average
farmer earns less than one-half as the average farmer in the
rest of our Nation. Can the Democrats be proud of this record?
From the very inception of this State, farming has been a noble
part of the proud heritage and record of North Carolina. It is
imperative that we render to the occupation of farming a token
in the way of progressive legislation to assist the farmer in this,
its greatest hour of need. We advocate more technical assistance
to the farming industry in order to achieve a better balanced
production and more encouragement of co-operative type in lieu
of State owned marketing centers.
Conservation and Development
We commend the Democrat Party for its improvement in attitude
toward bringing industry to North Carolina. We are bringing
industry to this State, but our percentage rate of growth is the
lowest in the South. In order to make our State more attractive
to new industry, we advocate encouragement of extension of port
facilities by private enterprise, reorganization of the corporate
tax structure, and remodeling of the antiquated laws under which
the Utilities Commission operates, so that equitable rates for
utilities are imposed. We believe that, while encouragement of new
industry is essential, we must constantly seek to encourage and
foster the support and growth of established industry in this
State.
Labor
The Republican Party commends the 1961 General Assembly of
North Carolina for extending minimum wage coverage to approxi-
mately 20,000 more laboring men and women in this State. We
take pride in knowing that Republicans in the General Assembly
were largely responsible for passage of this law. Without the
support of the Republicans, the law was doomed to defeat at the
hands of the Democrat Party.
Republican Platform 213
We are not satisfied! Even now, the average per capita income
for laborers in North Carolina is one of the lowest in the Nation.
Our average unemployment compensation is the lowest in the
Nation. The Republican Party is committed to the belief that
laboring men and women are entitled to fruits of the ability and
effort they give to their work, and we earnestly request that the
Democrat Party consider a change in its attitude which has placed
our laboring people in bondage to low incomes during the 60-year
Democrat reign.
Internal Water Resources
The Republican Party of North Carolina believes the need for
conserving water is of such importance that water resources
development should be put on a par with agricultural and indus-
trial development. While water problems in the State have not yet
reached serious proportions, there are some developing areas where
total water demands soon may exceed available supplies; and
adequate water quality shortly may pose serious problems for the
entire State. Thus, while there is still time to do so, the Re-
publican Party of North Carolina advocates that increased em-
phasis be placed on fully developing the water resources of the
State to meet foreseeable State demands for decades to come. We
must immediately get down to the task of systematic planning for
the best use of the State's water resources in an orderly and
rational way.
Home Rule
Te Republican Party is alarmed by the tendency of centralization
of government powers in Raleigh and Washington. We believe this
tendency is diametrically opposed to the best interest of individual
citizens. As an example, more than one-half of the legislation
enacted by the 1961 General Assembly was of purely local con-
cern without Statewide ramifications. We advocate home rule and
the return to Counties and Municipalities those responsibilities
for government which are purely of local significance and of no
concern to the State as a whole.
•2li ' NoKTH Carolina Manual
Constitutional Reform
An integral part of responsible government is a constant vigil
and effort to remove archaic road blocks, in the form of antiquated
laws, which impede the social, economic and moral progress of that
government.
A prime example of the lethargic attitude which has enveloped
Democrat officials during 60 years in power is their neglect to
revise the State Constitution. Our Constitution was adopted in
1868. Thirty-two States have adopted new Constitutions since our
own was ratified.
A State Constitution is the framework and foundation upon
which government determines its responsibility, authority and
limitation. In its most desired form, a State Constitution stands
tall, is concise, and inspires confidence. The North Carolina
Constitution is bent and tattered not only by time alone, but because
of the undue and oppressive weight of multifarious amendments.
The Eepublican Party advocates the call of a Constitutional Con-
vention in the best interest of all the people of North Carolina.
Public Health
The Republican Party, knowing that sound physical and mental
health is of basic importance to the life and happiness of the
people, and recognizing the responsibility and obligation of the
State Government to safeguard the public health in areas beyond
the power of the individual citizen, pledges itself to discharge this
obligation and responsibility with maximum efficiency, and mini-
mum interference with the liberties of the people, and to spend
the people's money with as much care as if it were all our own.
We pledge our best eff'orts to making North Carolina's health
environment the safest in which to live, work, and play.
More specifically, we pledge ourselves to give immediate atten-
tion to solving the following important problems:
1. Pollution of water, soil, and air. Growing population and
industrial expansion has aggravated already existing widespread
pollution of streams and water supplies by human and industrial
wastes. Over-loaded and out-moded sewage disposal facilities,
and inadequate water purification facilities, in many localities
have created in many areas situations of great and increasing
Republican Platform 215
danger to the health of the people. Immediate correction of these
conditions, with intelligence and imagination, is imperative. A
far-seeing, co-ordinated, state-wide plan, in cooperation with an-
alogous projects in neighboring States, needs to be developed and
carried out without delay, to insure purity of surface and ground
water, and the water in our water recreation areas.
2. Radiation fallout protection. The State shall assume its
proper responsibility for protecting the people from radioactive
fallout, by developing standard, efficient, and practical shelters,
teaching the people the basic essentials of radiation protection,
and by encouraging them to do the things needed.
3. Programs for making more and better use of the skills of
senior citizens.
4. More careful long-range planning to improve and maintain
sanitary conditions in the fringe areas around cities and towns,
particularly the faster growing ones.
5. Health needs of our growing population demand more and
better efforts to induce more young people to prepare themselves
for health service careers.
6. We advocate passage of enabling legislation to implement
the Kerr-Mills Act for medical care to the needy aged people.
Public Welfare
We recognize that in every economy there is a group of citizens
who are unable to provide for themselves. It is the responsibility
of our State and Local Government to care for those so handi-
capped by unfortunate circumstances. It cannot be denied, how-
ever, that under present procedure there is too much opportunity
for abuse in qualifying for welfare assistance. It is imperative
that more clearly defined limits and restrictions be placed upon
recipients of welfare assistance to the end that cases of necessity
are adequately cared for and cases of abuse are immediately
checked and discontinued.
Under the Democrat Administration, welfare payments to in-
dividuals in this State are the lowest of any of the 50 States.
The result has been too little for too many recipients. The Re-
publican Party believes that stricter enforcement of requirements
for participation in public welfare with more adequate assistance
to those entitled to receive is essential.
216 North Caeolina Manual
The Republican Party advocates more exacting legislation re-
quiring irresponsible parents to support their minor childx-en and
requiring- adult children of sufficient income to maintain and sup-
port their needy parents. Enforcement of these laws would relieve
taxpayers of this unwarranted burden.
Commercial Fisheries — Salt Water Resources
As this division of the North Carolina Department of Con-
servation and Development has functioned in the past, little con-
structive emphasis has been placed upon either of the fundamental
functions of conservation or development of North Carolina
fishery resources. This lack of emphasis and resulting failure in
its primary purposes is partly attributable to unnecessary em-
phasis on the activities of tax collection and law enforcement.
Under the control of the Democrat Party, the operation of the
Commercial Fisheries Division of the North Carolina Department
of Conservation and Development, as presently conducted, has be-
come a matter of collecting taxes (from the fishing industry) with
which to pay for law enforcement (the tax collectors, generally,
are also law enforcement officers). Many of the laws enforced are
merely laws levying taxes (or licenses). Thus, this agency is, in
effect, a "political perpetual motion machine," accomplishing only
its own continuation.
The Republican Party advocates the assumption by the Depart-
ment of Revenue of tax collecting functions of the Commercial
Fisheries Division which is presently handled by the Department
of Conservation and the North Carolina Department of Conserva-
tion and Development.
Boats are the machinery used by fishermen to make their living.
For the reason that the farmer's plow is not taxed, the fisherman's
boat should not be taxed by special licenses.
We further deem it necessary that the law enforcement func-
tions of the Commercial Fisheries Division of the North Carolina
Department of Conservation and Development be assumed by a
duly constituted law enforcement agency of the State, the North
Carolina Waterway Patrol. The North Carolina Republican Party
believes that, in this way, more effective and constructive con-
servation practices can be established and that valuable contri-
butions to the economies of the coastal areas of North Carolina can
Republicax Platform 217
be made. We, furthermore, believe that these accomplishments
will inure to the general benefit of all North Carolinians.
Once relieved of these tv^^o functions mentioned above, the Com-
mercial Fisheries Division of the North Carolina Department of
Conservation and Development should direct its efforts toward
the proper objectives of conservation of basic brood stocks of the
State's fishery resources and the development of the fishing and
related industries.
State Ports
The North Carolina Republican Party, believing as it does, in
free and competitive enterprise advocates with respect to the
operation of the North Carolina Port facilities at Morehead City
and Wilmington:
1. That these facilities be self-supporting and not a perpetual
burden upon the citizens of the State.
2. That capital improvements at these ports be made whenever
and to the extent such investment can be justified by the reasonably
expected increased net earnings to be developed thereby.
Water Ways
The North Carolina Republican Party is aware of the recent
large increase in pleasure boating upon our coastal waters and
the large numbers of small boats now using these facilities. It
believes this development should be encouraged. Therefore, the
following policies are advocated:
1. That the State inaugurate a politically free Waterways
Patrol to promote safe boating practices and to provide assistance
and protection to the pleasure boating public.
2. That the North Carolina Highway Department recognize
this development of pleasure boating and, in the mutual interest
of highway traflfic and water borne traflfic, it adopt a policy of
increasing the clearances under all fixed and draw-span bridges
over coastal waterways.
Rights of Citizenship
Under the proper interpretation of the philosophy of government
that our forefathers dreamed of and we seek to bring into realiza-
tion, we, the Republican Party, believe it to be fundamentally true
218 NouTii Cakoi.ixa Manual
that the will of the majority ought to prevail. In the proper
exercise of that will, however, the proper regard must be used to
safeguard the rights of minorities — whose members are entitled
to equal and full citizenship of this State. The actions of the
majority party officials give tangible evidence of their unwilling-
ness to recognize rights of any one or any groups except them-
selves.
We, the Republican Party of North Carolina, pledge ourselves
to encouragement of participation of all rights and responsibility
of full citizenship by all the citizens of North Carolina, and we
demand in the interest of Justice representation on all State
Boards, Commissions, Agencies, and Institutions.
Conclusion
The future of our State is bright for the people are realizing
the advantages and necessity of a healthy two-party system of
government. The shackles and heavy yoke of oppressive and
lethargic one-party system are rapidly being disregarded in North
Carolina. Control of the government is being returned to the
people where it rightly should and will be with the emergence of
a healthy, competitive, and active two-party system of government.
Your vote for Republican candidates, dedicated to these our prin-
ciples of good government, will speed the advent of government by
the people, of the people, and for the people.

MARTIN
Martin Countv was formed in 1774 from Halifax and Tyrrell. Was named in honor
of Josiah Martin, the last roya! governor of North Carolina. It is probable that this
name would have been changed like those of Dobbs and Tryon, but for the popularity
of Alexander Martin, who was Governor in 1782 and again in 1790.

WAKE
Wake County was formed in 1770 from Johnston, Cumberland, and Orange. Was
named in honor of Governor Tryon's wife, whose maiden name was Margaret Wake.
Some historians say that the county was named for "Ester Wake," the popular sister of
Tryon's wife, but there is no reason to suppose that any such person ever existed. She
is purely a creature of the imagination.
