Prudential FARM LOANS LOW INTEREST LONG TERM FAIR APPRAISAL PROMPT SERVICE W. L. Lumpkin Correspondent LOUISBURG, N. 0. ; t FRANKLIN COUNTY HISTORY By REV. E. H. DAVIS Charles Applewhite Hill, Uni versity graduate, teacher, preach er, legislator and public man was another of the Hill family who left his impress upon the life and history of Franklin in these early days ? possibly a deeper impress in a way and on one particular line than any of his forbears. He was a son of Win. Hill, grand son of the first Green Hill and his wife, Grace Bennett, nephew of Henry Hill who had preceded him in the Senate, and of Henry Hill's brother, Kev. Major Green Hill. He was born 1784, was a student at the University in 1804 which he left that year without receiving a diploma. A tradition in the family was that he was displeased with the way in which awards and distinctions were made. There is little room to doubt however -that his leavingi synchronizing as it did with the departure of twenty young men from this seat of learning, to en ter Dickinson's Academy in Louis burg on account of the monitorial system was part of the same epi sode. See quotation from Ed ward Hooker's diary before re ferred to in these pages. Hill married in 1806 Rebecca Long, daughter of Gabriel and Sarah Richmond Long, who on the death of Long, married Rev. Dan iel Shine and was afterwards more widely known... as Grandma Shine. Hill then moved to Geor gia 'where he taught for a number of years. Returning here in 1815 he then went back to Chapel Hill and received his diploma, gradu ating with the Class of 1816 'when he was 32 years old. Dr. ; Battle in his history of the Uni iversity of N. C. page 248, has 'this to, say of that class: "Of the 16 graduates of the Class of 1 8 i ? those most notable were VVm. Julius Alexander, a Trustee, (member of the Legislature. (Speaker of the House and Solici tor of the District. Thomas J. j Haywood, Judge in Tennessee [John De Rossett. physician oi 'great promise, dying young. Char les Applewhite Hill, who left the ! University in 1804.' Principal of Classical Schools, Preacher and State Senator. John Patterson, ? Tutor U. N. C. and preacher. Jam ies W. McClung, Speaker of the ! House in Tennessee, and John Y. Mason, Secretary of the Navy. Attorney General and Minister to France." As Minister he incurred the displeasure of his Chief, Sec retary 6f State Wm. L. Marcy by (Wearing a simple diplomatic uni jform at the Court of Napoleon (ill. when all American Ministers had been ordered to wear plain (civilian costume at estate func tions-? an incident that may have been responsible for Nathaniel Hawthorne's characterization of him as a "fat-brained, good hear ted sensible old man." Mason was a Virginian. Associated with John Slidell of Louisiana, he was sent as Commissioner by the Con federate Government to Europe seeking recognition and help for the Confederacy from England and France. Taken from the British steamer Trent by a Union vessel he was imprisoned at Fort Warren in Boston but in 1862 at the demand of the British Gov ernment he was liberated anr proceeded on his mission. Hill on his return from Geor gia devoted himself to teaching land became widely known as such in Franklin and Warren counties in both of which he labored. For a while he was Principal of Franklin Academy, afterwards for several years he held a simi lar position in Warrenton. His last work as a teacher was in the country in Franklin County at a point between Louisburg and Warrenton which he named Mid way. In his advertisements in ;the Raleigh Register he says, : "Midway is situated two miles from the Stage Road, ten miles from Louisburg, sixteen from 'Warrenton and four from Shoccc i Springs." In the same advertise ment regarding the government of his school he says, "The prin cipal will pursue that course which he would with his own children. He will advise and ad monish; where these fail the rod will be resorted to but with pa rental prudunce." For a num ber of years he maintained at 'this place a classical school of jhigh gr;ide in which the enroll ment ran as hig as 60 pupils for the term. With all of his work | as a teacher he still found time to represent his county ? Franklin ? in the State Senate for four years. Even as Senator his lift work the matter of education was uppermost in his thought. It may have been responsible for his being there at all. His four years in the Senate ? 1822-1826 ? were ! characterized by two things, his advocacy of public education and ! his unyielding opposition to all lotteries ? then being frequentlj ! licensed to operate for benevolent purposes. Prof. C. L. Coon, in the introduction to his "N. C. Schools and Academies" has this I to say of him ? "Hill was a grad uate of the University of N. C., a j Methodist preacher and a godd 'teacher. He also found time enough while living and teaching in Franklin County to be elected to the State Senate, where he was the author of the law which ere ated the Literary Fund of 1825. He was also the leader of the op position to lotteries and was nc small factor in creating enough sentiment to do away with those gambling devices in aid of schools and churches, x x x It has sc often been ' asserted that Bartletl Yancy was the author of the Lit erary Fund law of 1825 that 1 hesitate to utter a disSenting opinion. But the credit for the authorship of that law BELONGS TO CHARLES A. HILL OF FRANKLIN as I have saie above." It may be added tha that Literary Fund law was thi beginning of public education ii the State. In his advocacy o the measure Hill declared on th< floor o( the Senate that Educa tion was the foe of tyrants am the foundation of liberty ? tha Education and civilization g< hand in hand and that ignoranei was the prolific cause of vice.
