To this fact, probably, not less than to the power you possess of making laws affecting the life, liberty and property of our fellow citizens, is to be ascribed the intense interest which is felt and expressed tliruughout the State, at each returning anniversary of the General Assembly; and per- haps no period of our political existence has found our Legislators assembling, with the prospect of being occupied in the discussion of subjects affuiding more general in. teiest, calling for greater deliberation and talents, and promising more extended benefits, ortlie reverse. And what abundant cause of gratitude and grateful acknowl- edgment have we, to the giver of every good and perfect gift, that the representatives of the people are permitted to assemble and deliberate upon their concerns, in the undisturbed possession of civil and religious liberty, the boon of Heaven, and at a mo- ment of profound peace, no less the gift of him who governs the universe.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

  • Did You Know? North Carolina
    Did You Know? North Carolina Discover the history, geography, and government of North Carolina. The Land and Its People The state is divided into three distinct topographical regions: the Coastal Plain, the Piedmont Plateau, and the Appalachian Mountains. The Coastal Plain affords opportunities for farming, fishing, recreation, and manufacturing. The leading crops of this area are bright-leaf tobacco, peanuts, soybeans, and sweet potatoes. Large forested areas, mostly pine, support pulp manufacturing and other forest-related industries. Commercial and sport fishing are done extensively on the coast, and thousands of tourists visit the state’s many beaches. The mainland coast is protected by a slender chain of islands known as the Outer Banks. The Appalachian Mountains—including Mount Mitchell, the highest peak in eastern America (6,684 feet)—add to the variety that is apparent in the state’s topography. More than 200 mountains rise 5,000 feet or more. In this area, widely acclaimed for its beauty, tourism is an outstanding business. The valleys and some of the hillsides serve as small farms and apple orchards; and here and there are business enterprises, ranging from small craft shops to large paper and textile manufacturing plants. The Piedmont Plateau, though dotted with many small rolling farms, is primarily a manufacturing area in which the chief industries are furniture, tobacco, and textiles. Here are located North Carolina’s five largest cities. In the southeastern section of the Piedmont—known as the Sandhills, where peaches grow in abundance—is a winter resort area known also for its nationally famous golf courses and stables.

  • The North Carolina Historical Review
    The North Carolina Historical Review Volume XIV April, 1937 Number 2 CHILD-LABOR REFORMS IN NORTH CAROLINA SINCE 1903 By Elizabeth Huey Davidson In 1903 North Carolina adopted its first child-labor law. It was a weak measure, forbidding the employment of children un- der twelve in factories, establishing a maximum of sixty-six hours a week for persons under eighteen, and providing no machinery for enforcement of the law. The passage of this measure had resulted from a slow growth of sentiment against the evils of child labor, and its terms represented a compromise between the reformers and the cotton manufacturers of the State. There was no organization to push further legislation, however, until the formation of the National Child Labor Com- mittee in 1904. This committee was largely inspired by the work of Dr. Edgar Gardner Murphy of Montgomery, Alabama, and had at first a number of prominent Southerners on its mem- bership roll. For its Southern secretary the committee chose Dr. Alexander J. McKelway, a Presbyterian clergyman of Char- lotte, North Carolina. The law of 1903 had been in effect a year when the committee attempted to reopen the drive for legislation. Its effectiveness in that length of time cannot be judged accurately, since the re- port of the Commissioner of Labor for 1904 fails to record the number of children employed in manufacturing. 1 The general consensus of opinion expressed by the manufacturers to the com- missioner was that the law should be accepted in good faith, but that it should also be the last one of its kind.

  • Good Old Days? Discovery Tour
    e Good Old Days? Discovery Tour Resource Manual A compendium of classroom activities and resource materials to help you prepare for your Discovery Tour Who Was Here in 1860? On the eve of the American Civil War, North Carolina was a rural state with a total population of 992,622. Most citizens had been born in North Carolina and farmed for a living. Less than 1 percent of the state’s population in 1860 was foreign born, and about 70 percent of white families owned no slaves. Nevertheless, African Americans composed approximately one-third of the total population, and the majority were slaves. Few urban commercial centers existed, and Wilmington, the largest town, had fewer than 10,000 citizens. Yeoman Famers The majority of North Carolinians in 1860 were white subsistence farmers who worked small farms, 50 to 100 acres, and owned fewer than 20 slaves. They were more concerned with rainfall, crops, and seasonal changes for planting and harvesting than with national politics. They produced most of what they consumed and relied on the sale of surplus crops for money to buy what they could not grow or make by hand on their farms. These men would constitute the bulk of North Carolina’s army in the coming war. Planters Individuals who owned 20 or more slaves were considered planters. Most North Carolina planters lived in the Coastal Plain and Piedmont regions of the state, where conditions favored large-scale farming. Although they made up a minority, these individuals exercised political influence far greater than their actual number when compared to families with few or no slaves.

Copyright of the author. “FAYETTEVILLE IS NO MORE!” Thus began an account [2] of the fire that swept through Fayetteville [3] and utterly destroyed it in May 1831. But that conflagration was not the only major fire that spring in North Carolina. Three weeks later another devastating blaze hit Raleigh, one that almost changed the course of North Carolina history. Image of watercolor painting of the original State House in Raleigh, by J.S.

[4]On Sunday morning, May 29, 1831, the people of Fayetteville flocked to their churches for worship. Shortly after noon, after the sermons of Henry Rowland [5] and his fellow ministers had ended, their congregations streamed out of their churches, only to find that a fire had begun in the center of town. It had started in a kitchen at a house on the northwest corner of Market Square [6]. Immediately, townsfolk battled the blaze and thought they would soon have it under control, but the flames escaped and went on to ravage nearby buildings. The wind gusted and blew burning embers on the roof of the old State House [7], where the General Assembly [8] once met and North Carolina had adopted [9] the U.S.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Party Formation in the United States Adissertationsubmittedinpartialsatisfactionofthe requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science by Darin Dion DeWitt 2013 c Copyright by Darin Dion DeWitt 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Party Formation in the United States by Darin Dion DeWitt Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Thomas Schwartz, Chair This dissertation is about how political parties formed in the world’s first mass democracy, the United States. I trace the process of party formation from the bottom up. First, I ask: How do individuals become engaged in politics and develop political affiliations? In most states, throughout the antebellum era, the county was the primary unit of political admin- istration and electoral representation. Owing to their small size, contiguity, and economic homogeneity, I expect that each county’s active citizens will form a county-wide governing coalition that organizes and dominates local politics. Second, I ask: Which political actor had incentives to lure county organizations into one coalition? I argue that the institutional rules for electing United States Senators – indirect election by state legislature – induced prospective United States Senators to construct a majority coalition in the state legislature. Drawing on nineteenth century newspapers, I construct a new dataset from the minutes of political meetings in three states between 1820 and 1860. I find that United States Senators created state parties out of homogeneous counties. They encouraged cooperation among county-wide governing coalitions by canvassing annual county political meetings, drafting ii and revising a multi-issue policy platform that had the potential to unite a majority of the state’s county governing coalitions, encouraging individual counties to create county- wide committees of correspondence and vigilance, and, finally, organizing a permanent state central committee and regular state-wide conventions.

  • Hamrick Generations
    THE HAMRICK GENERATIONS BEING A GENEALOGY OF THE HAMRICK FAMILY BY S. C. JONES SHELBY, N. C. 1920 8oWARDS & BROUGHTON PRINTING Co. RALEIGH, N. c. DEDICATION To the memory of my loving mother, who departed this life on March 1, 1887, at whose knees I sat as a child and listened to many a recountal of the heroic struggles and vicissitudes of her early Hamrick ancestors whose exploits and undertakings account, in a large measure, for the sterling citizenship and well-founded progress of this immediate section, this book is respectfully and lovingly dedicated. PREF.A.OE The author wishes to thus assure the readers of this work that he has made no effort to invite fame nor has he undertaken the furtherance of the art of authorship--rather it has been his in the compilation of data, facts and :figures to give the direct and diverse ramifications of the several Hamrick generations and to show the honest strivings of them as early settlers and hardy pioneers. No attempt has been made to perpetuate the fame of this great family in song and story rather the author has written, in plain and unpolished words, their rugged history. After all what could be more eloquent than the simple and hardy annals of the forebears of an honest and prosperous commonwealth whose efforts at building a sturdy citizenship have prevailed. Then too, no community is greater than the noble traditions and sentiments which it cherishes; so likewise is it with the individual. Wherefore, the writer prays the reader's leniency only as to gram­ matical construction for no apology is needed and none is offered for the record of achievements of the several generations herein enumerated.
