CON NOR SECRETARY NORTH CAROLINa'hISTORICAL COM M ISSION RALEIGH EDWARDS^. BROUCHTON PRINTING COMPANY STATE PRI NTE RS 1915 1915 PREFACE. This volume is issued by the North Carolina Historical Commission in order to furnish to the members of the General Assembly of 1915, in convenient form, information about the State which otherwise would require much investigation in many different sources. It is also hoped that it may prove of value and service to others who desire to have in succinct form such data about North Carolina. Similar Manuals, issued in 1903, 1905, and 1907 by the Secretary of State, and in 1909, 1911, and 1913 by the North Carolina Historical Commission, have proven of very general utility and interest. Re- quests for copies have come not only from all over North Carolina, but from most of the States of the Union, and the demand for them has been so great that all of these editions except those for 1909 and 1913 have long been exhausted, and it is now extremely difficult to secure a copy. The Historical Commission trusts that the members of the General Assembly of 1915 will find this volume of service to them in their work. NORTH CAROLINA HISTORICAL COMMISSION. J.

  • And Type the TITLE of YOUR WORK in All Caps
    A. B. “HAPPY” CHANDLER AND THE POLITICS OF CIVIL RIGHTS by JOHN PAUL HILL (Under the Direction of James C. Cobb) ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the complex civil rights views of Albert Benjamin “Happy” Chandler, one of Kentucky’s most controversial and charismatic politicians of the twentieth century. To offer perspective on his positions, this study focuses on Chandler’s statements and actions during several important periods in civil rights history. Chandler served two terms as governor (1935-1939, 1955-1959). During the first, the NAACP launched its first concerted campaign to desegregate the University of Kentucky. During the second, whites in two western Kentucky communities violently protested efforts to desegregate local schools in compliance with the Supreme Court’s landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision. Between his two terms as governor, Chandler served six years in the United States Senate (1939-1945) and six years as commissioner of Major League Baseball (1945-1951). As a member of the Senate, Chandler voted on antilynching legislation and on two bills designed to eliminate the poll tax in state and federal elections. During his term as commissioner, the game’s entrenched, longstanding ban on interracial play collapsed when Jackie Robinson took the field for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. In 1968, nine years after he had last held elective office, Chandler nearly became the running mate of George C. Wallace, the arch-segregationist former governor of Alabama who was pursuing the presidency under the banner of the American Independent Party. Despite his flirtation with Wallace, Chandler’s overall handling of the important civil rights matters of the day clearly distinguished him from most of his southern political colleagues.

    Members of Congress Who Die in Office: Historic and Current Practices R. Eric Petersen Specialist in American National Government Jennifer E. Manning Information Research Specialist April 25, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL34347 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Members of Congress Who Die in Office: Historic and Current Practices Summary Since 1973, 84 Members of Congress—69 Representatives, and 15 Senators—have died in office. When a sitting Member dies, the House and Senate carry out a number of actions based on chamber rules, statutes, and longstanding practices. Some observances, such as adjourning briefly as a mark of respect to the deceased, appointing Member delegations to attend funerals of deceased colleagues, or paying the costs of a funeral from public funds, were initially observed in the earliest Congresses, or predate the national legislature established under the Constitution. It appears that contemporary congressional response to the death of a sitting Member is affected by a number of external factors including the following: circumstances of the Member’s death, preferences of the deceased Member or the Member’s family regarding funeral services, whether Congress is in session when the Member dies, pending congressional business at the time of the Member’s death, and events external to Congress at the time. Congressional response to the death of a sitting Member could be characterized as a broad set of actions that are determined in detail at or around the time of the death, in response to a wide array of factors. Broadly, these actions fall into five categories, including announcement or acknowledgment on the House or Senate floor; consideration of resolutions of condolence; a funeral or other rites; issues related to the deceased Member’s office, staff, and survivor benefits; and publication of memorials.

Le foyer de banlieue résidentielle, et sa cuisine plus précisément, étaient considérés comme un haut-lieu de la sociabilité féminine tandis que les ‘kaffee klatsches’ et les ventes à domicile faisaient partie intégrante du quotidien de ces femmes au foyer banlieusardes. La maison et les nombreuses activités qui étaient conduites pouvaient fonctionner comme « un forum de politisation des femmes », surtout des ménagères.1 Si « la place de la femme est à la maison » comme le voulait l’adage, rien ne l’empêchait d’y exercer des activités économiques ou politiques.

The Draper collections extend over the years, 1735-1815, and the field east of the Mississippi, with some trans-Mississippi material, such as that on the Lewis and Clark expedition. The writer of this study has investigated others after 1815 all over the United States, whom he shows. He has also as- certained the origin of literary people of southern antecedents whose names are not furnished by Lucian Lamar Knight's biographical dictionary in the "Library of Southern Literature." The author indicates for the first time in print 'the fountain head of manj^ great Americans.
