THE STATE

North Carolina, often called the "Tar Heel" state, was the
scene of the first attempt at colonization in America by English-
speaking people. Under a charter granted to Sir Walter Raleigh
by Queen Elizabeth, a colony was begun 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 im-
migrants from Virginia. In 1663 Charles II granted to eight Lords
Proprietors a charter for the territory lying "within six and thirty
degrees northern latitude, and to the west as far as the South seas,
and so southerly as far as the river St. Matthias, 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 ex-
tended the limits of Carolina so that the northern line was 36 de-
grees and 30 minutes north latitude, and the southern line was 29 de-
grees 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 adopt-
ed these constitutions and directed the governor to put into opera-
tion as much of them as was feasible. In 1670 there were four pre-
cincts (changed to counties in 1739) : Pasquotank, Perquimans,
Chowan, and Currituck. North Carolina now has one hundred
counties.

Carolina was on Dec. 7, 1710, 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

[11]



12 North Carolina Manual

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
state adopted the United States Constitution, being the twelfth
state to enter the federal union. Norh Carolina, in 1788, had re-
jected 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 people
for a term of two years instead of being elected by the legislature
for a term of one year. Edward Bishop Dudley was the first gover-
nor elected by the people.

North Carolina seceded from the Union May 20, 1861, and was
admitted 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 constitu-
tion since 1868, but numerous amendments have been added to it.

North Carolina has been democratic 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, 1767-70, 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 ceded her western lands which was composed of Wash-
ington, Davidson, Hawkins, Greene, Sullivan, Sumner, and Tennes-
see counties, to the federal government in 1790 and in 1796 Tennes-
see entered the Union as a state.

North Carolina supports a nine months school for every child
of school age and maintains a fleet of 4,800 buses by which it trans-
ports 348,000 children to school each school day in the year. During
a nine months term these 4,800 buses travel approximately 31,-
000,000 miles.

The state also maintains 58,500 miles of roads of which approxi-
mately 48,000 miles are county roads and 10,500 miles are state



The State 13

roads. These roads are maintained from gasoline tax, drivers'
licenses and licenses for automobiles, trucks, and busses.

North Carolina extends from the sea coast to the mountains,
having the highest peak (Mount Mitchell — 6,684 feet) east of the
Mississippi. It has extensive agricultural and industrial develop-
ments. Some of the agricultural products are corn, cotton, tobacco,
wheat, barley, oats, peanuts, soya beans, various types of hay, po-
tatoes, garden truck, dairy products, beef, pork, poultry and fruits.
Some of the industrial products are furniture, cloth, hosiery, cot-
ton yarns, tobacco, canned fruits and vegetables, ceremic products,
and lumber. There is some mining such as coal, gold, copper, talc,
mica, and many other products.

During the war the state has had many camps wherein the serv-
ice men have received their training for active combat duty. North
Carolina is proud of the opportunities to serve the nation in provid-
ing these training camps and it is also justly proud of the more
than 300,000 men and women who have and are serving the nation
in this war.



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 re-
build on the old site, and $50,000 was appropriated for the purpose.
Commissioners were appointed to have the work done. The rub-
bish 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 slow-
ly, and it was so expensive that the appropriation was exhausted.
The Legislature at its next session appropriated $75,000 more. To
do the stone and finer work many skilled artisans had been brought
from Scotland and other countries. The Building Commissioners
contracted with David Paton to come to Raleigh and superintend
the work. Mr. Paton was an architect who had come from Scot-
land the year before. He was the builder, the architect, the de-.
signer.

The Legislature was compelled to make appropriations for the
work from time to time. The following is a table of the several
appropriations made:

Session of 1832-33 $ 50,000.00

Session of 1833-34 75,000.00

Session of 1834-35 75,000.00

Session of 1835 : .:. 75,000.00

Session of 1836-37 '...: '.'. ;..:..; 120,000.00

Session of 1838-39 ..:....... 105,300.00

Session of 1840-41... 31,374.46

Total , $531,674.46

The stone with which the building was erected was the property
of the State. Had the State been compelled to purchase this ma-
terial the cost of the Capitol would have been considerably in-
creased.

In the summer of 1840 the work was finished. At last, after
more than seven years, the sum of $531,674.46 was expended. As

[15]

large as that sum was for the time, when the State was so poor
and when the entire taxes for all State purposes reached less than
$100,000, yet the 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 971/2 feet in the

center. The apex of pediment is 64 feet in height. The stylobate
is 18 feet in height. The columns of the east and west porticoes
are 5 feet 2% inches in diameter. An entablature, including block-
ing course, is continued around the building, 12 feet high.

"The columns and entablature are Grecian Doric, and copied
from the Temple of Minerva, commonly called the Parthenon,
which was erected in Athens about 500 years before Christ. An
octagon tower surrounds the rotunda, which is ornamented with
Grecian cornices, etc., and its dome is decorated at top with a
similar ornament to that of the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates,
commonly called the Lanthorn of Demosthenes.

"The interior of the Capitol is divided into three stories: First,
the lower story, consisting of ten rooms, eight of which are appro-
priated as offices to the Governor, Secretary, Treasurer, and Comp-
troller, each having two rooms of the same size — the one containing
an area of 649 square feet, the other 528 square feet — the two com-
mittee 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 col-
umns 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



The State Capitol 17

2,849 square feet. Four apartments enter from Senate Chamber,
two of which contain each an area of 169 square feet, and the other
two contain each an area of 154 square feet; also, two rooms enter
from Representatives' chamber, each containing an area of 170
square feet; of two committee rooms, each containing an area of
231 feet; of four 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
antse 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 antse 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."
