FIND US ON: 4 NEW BERN MAGAZINE JANUARY 2020 Contents JANUARY 2020 NEW BERN MAGAZINE 5 New Bern Historic New Bern is a charming riverfront town tucked away on the banks of the Neuse and Trent rivers. It has been called one of the 5 best cities in America by Good Morning America. New Bern offers many unique boutiques, restaurants and historic homes for visitors to enjoy. History, music and art abound with various special events scheduled throughout the year. Photo courtesty of New Bern Convention & Visitors Bureau In 1710, Swiss baron Christopher de Graffenried founded New Bern, the second oldest town in North Carolina. He named the city after his home Bern, Switzerland. In 1895, New Bern officially became the “daughter” city of the Swiss capital. The bear, which you will see displayed throughout the city, comes from the Swiss city’s name. Historic New Bern offers over 150 sites included in the National Register of Historic Places. New Bern was the capital of the colonial government and home to the First State Capitol of North Carolina, the Tryon Palace. Completed in 1770, Tryon Palace was built by British Governor William Tryon and served as the capital building until 1778. Tryon Palace hosted many famous Americans, including George Washington. New Bern is also known as the birthplace of Pepsi Cola. In 1893 a local pharmacist Caleb Bradham invented the recipe, a blend of kola nut extract, vanilla and “rare oils” for what was originally called “Brad’s Drink” and in 1898 renamed Pepsi-Cola. 6 NEW BERN MAGAZINE JANUARY 2020 8 NEW BERN MAGAZINE JANUARY 2020 January 23, 24, 25, 31, February 1 at 7:30pm January 26 and February 2 at 2pm Craven Community College’s Orringer Hall • 800 College Court Presented by New Bern Historical Society The Stanly-Spaight Duel. One of New Bern’s most compelling stories. A younger man goads an older statesman. The older man insults the younger. All in public. In newsprint. Add the story of Sarah Rice, a favored slave of the Spaights, who had a son by John Stanly. Mix it all together with the knowledge and wit of Bill Hand and the music of Simon Spalding and you have Honour, The Musical. This historic tale will be brought to life through original dialogue and music, as the full- length play sweeps you from the signing of the Constitution to the dispute that would lead these bitter rivals to a fight to the death on the field of honor. This exciting event comes together with a whole team of New Bern elements. Presented by New Bern Historical Society in partnership with CarolinaEast Health System, Craven Community College, and the New Bern Sun Journal, many additional sponsors have gathered including Silver Sponsors, Stubbs & Perdue, P.A. and the Law Offices of Oliver and Cheek, as well as Public Radio East, Paul Switzer and Margaret Bagg. Historical Society Executive Director Mickey Miller is thrilled by the response: “We are so proud of the community leaders who immediately stepped up to support this hometown story told and performed by hometown talent.” Writer Bill Hand has deeply researched the Stanly-Spaight duel, the story behind it and the practice of dueling in general. He explains “Most duels resulted from political accusations, or occasionally because a woman’s honor was offended. By today’s standards those insults are usually overlooked completely, but in that day, it was a breach of honor, and honor was everything.” Hand is responsible for both the book and the lyrics of Honour, The Musical. He is a local writer, historian and journalist who is also known for his weekly history column in the New Bern Sun Journal. He also writes the scripts and directs the Cedar Grove Cemetery ghosts for the Historical Society’s annual Ghostwalk. Audiences will also remember his dinner theatre presentations from Athens of the South company, as well as his portrayal of Mark Twain and appearances in local theatre productions. The music of Honour is the work of musician, historian, author and performer Simon Spalding. Spalding has been a musician for 50+ years performing with groups throughout the US and Europe countries. His solo performances have taken him to a total of twelve European countries, and he has composed, arranged and performed music for dozens of commercial recordings and films. He also served for five years as Living History Programs Manager at Tryon Palace. Tickets: $15, adult. $10 (up to age 23 with student ID) Available at 252.638.8558, New Bern Historical Society at 5111 Broad St. and www.HonourTheMusical.com. The mission of the New Bern Historical Society is to celebrate and promote New Bern and its heritage through events and education. JANUARY 2020 NEW BERN MAGAZINE 9 This Month in New Bern History By Claudia Houston, New Bern Historical Society The month of January is significant for several reasons to an early New Bern photographer. Who is he and what was his role in New Bern’s history? On January 14 of 1858, JW Watson announced that he “renovated and refitted … for the advancement of the Photographic Art; his Daguerrean Gallery over the Store of J. Whaley, on Craven Street….” Up to that time, Mr. Watson had been a traveling Daguerrean working in Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia. He settled in New Bern in the late 1850’s and early 1860’s prior to the Union occupation of New Bern. His was one of many Daguerrean studios in New Bern during this period. Daguerreotypes were developed during the 1830’s and introduced in America in 1839. They were made from copper plates covered with silver and after a photo was processed it had a decorative mat placed over it, usually made of copper. A plate Early daguerreotype of two unknown of glass was then placed on top of the photo due to the fragility soldiers courtesy of Heritage Auctions. of the daguerreotype. Daguerreotypes were extremely popular through the 1860’s but were then replaced by less expensive methods of photography. During January of 1860, Mr. Watson notified residents that he would be discontinuing his business and offered to sell or rent his six room home on Craven Street along with all of his photographic apparatus, promising to give anyone who purchased his stock and materials instruction in photography. Mr. Watson left New Bern but announced in the paper on September 28, 1860 that he had returned in good health and was refitting his Gallery on Craven Street and would be making miniatures to life- sized photographs. By September 3, 1861 he requested that customers call only between the hours of 8 am and 5 pm as he would be closing his shop at 5 pm in order to drill with a military company. In October 1861, Watson placed another notice in the paper informing the public that he had renovated and refitted his gallery and had all “improvements necessary to serve the public with Photographs, Ambrotypes and Daguerreotypes etc. in as good a style as they can be made in North or South.” He also stated he could enlarge small pictures and having them colored in oil, watercolors or India ink. Mr. Watson joined the Confederate Army at New Bern on January 27, 1862. He joined the 2nd Artillery 36th NC Regiment, Company F, also known as the Cape Fear Regiment of Artillery. On January 15, 1865 he was captured by Union troops at Fort Fisher. Mr. Watson was sent to Elmira prison in New York as a prison of war but returned home in July after signing an oath of allegiance. He moved his studio to Fayetteville Street in Raleigh, NC where he remained until his death. On April 4, 1889 Mr. John W. Watson, aged 61, died in Raleigh and his obituary stated, “Mr. Watson was a photographer and was well known not only in Raleigh, but throughout the State. Mr. Watson is buried at Oakwood Cemetery in Earliest known photograph in New Bern, likely a daguerreotype, Raleigh.” (Weekly State Chronicle, depicting the remains of the Craven County Courthouse after being Raleigh, 05 Apr 1889) destroyed by fire on January 15, 1861.

  • Governors' Papers
    Governors’ Papers 1 R. Gregg Cherry GOVERNOR ROBERT GREGG CHERRY, 1944-1949, n.d. Arrangement: By record series or subject, then chronological. Reprocessed by: James Mark Valsame Finding aid by W. F. Burton, January 8, 1949 Digitized by: James Mark Valsame Date: May 31, 2012 Robert Gregg Cherry (October 17, 1891 – June 25, 1957), Post-World War II governor of North Carolina and speaker and long-time member of the North Carolina House of Representatives, was born at Catawba Junction, near York, SC, to Chancellor Lafayette and Hattie Davis Cherry. His mother died when Cherry was one year old and his father, a farmer and Confederate veteran, six years later. Cherry was sent to Gastonia, just across the state line, to live with his maternal grandfather, pioneer Gastonian Isaac N. Davis, and his uncle, Henry M. Lineberger. Cherry attended the public schools of Gastonia and then was graduated from Trinity College in 1912. He completed a law degree at Trinity College in 1914, winning the Judge Walter Clark prize as the highest ranking student in the graduating class. Returning to Gastonia, he established a law practice with Alfred Lee Bulwinkle, long-time friend and future congressman from the area. When the United States entered World War I in 1917, Cherry delighted in organizing among men in the Gastonia area a machine gun troop of the First North Carolina Cavalry, which he trained and commanded during service overseas. He always took great pride in having developed a group of local men into a fighting cadre. His interest in the military continued after the war, and he maintained membership in the National Guard until 1924.

  • 3000 Inactive Hazardous Sites
    Report to the North Carolina General Assembly on the Division of Waste Management’s Inactive Hazardous Sites Program North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Waste Management http://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/waste-management/superfund- section/inactive-hazardous-sites-program October 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The N.C. General Assembly created the Inactive Hazardous Sites Program in the Department of Environment and Natural Resources’ (DENR) Division of Waste Management (DWM) to identify, investigate and clean up properties contaminated with hazardous substances. The program also manages the assessment and cleanup of old pre-regulatory landfill sites that have environmental contamination and that predate modern landfill standards designed to prevent contamination. This report satisfies the requirements, set out in G.S. 130A-310.10, for an annual report to the General Assembly. A total of 3,112 chemical spill or disposal sites and old, unlined dumps or landfills (pre- regulatory) have been cataloged. Of this number 2,548 still require work to address public health or environmental hazards. Of the 2,548 remaining open cases, 669 are old, unlined landfills that predate solid and hazardous waste permitting laws. By state law, approximately 45 percent of the proceeds of a statewide solid waste disposal tax is directed to address contamination at these pre-regulatory landfills. DWM has established contracts with private firms to assess and remediate the pre- regulatory landfill sites. DWM has started a pilot study of an alternative privatized method of state-funded assessment and remediation of four pre-1983 landfills, to evaluate ways to improve efficiency and reduce cost.
