ISBiATOR A I SAM ERVIN JNA Washington Forty-three men i have served North Carolina in | the United States Senate since our State ratified the Constiut | tion of the United States at the Fayetteville Convention on No vember 21, 1789. This includes your present Senators. Francis Locke was designated as Sena tor but resigned w.thout ever qualifying. The First Congress The First Congress met in New York City on March 4, 1789. A quorum of Senators was not present. The eight Senators who had assembled met and ad journed from day to day until April 6, when a quorum was present. As North Carolina had not ratified the Constitution, our first two Senators did not begin their Senate service until November 27, 1789. The Fayetteville Convention elected our first two Senators, Benjamin Hawkins and Samuel Johnston. Both men had served in the Continental Congress. Johnston had been Governor. It was necessary for their initial terms to be decided by lot as was the case recently with Alas ka and Hawaii. In the draw ing, Senator Hawkins got a full six-year term; Senator Johnston drew a four-year term. At the completion of their terms neither man was renamed to the Sen ate. Adherring to the Federal ist party, they were soon to yield to the rapidly rising tide of Anti-Federalism that was spreading in North Carolina, al though the power of the Fed eralists continued nationally un til Jefferson’s election to the Presidency. As a consequence of the decline of the Federalists, Hawkins and Johnston were the only representatives of that par ty elected to the United States Senate from North Carolina. Hawkins From Warren Senator Benjamin Hawkins was born in what is now War ren County, August 15, 1754. Educated at Princeton, through his mastery of French he be came interpreter on the staff of General George Washington during the Revolutionary War. Hawkins was only about 27 when he became a Delegate to the Continental Congress and only 35 when he took his Sen ate seat. In 1796, President George Washington appointed him Indian Agent for all the tribes South of the Ohio River, a position he held until his Edenton High School HOMECOMING Edenton Hornets versus Jacksonville Bull Dogs Friday, October 30 HICKS FIELD Parade (withßbands) .1210 Noon Pre-Game Activities 110 P.M.

He was i buried on a plantation near Roberta, Georgia. | Samuel Johnston of Chowan The second of our Senators was Samuel Johnston of Cho wan County. Born in Dundee, Scotland, December 15, 1733, he came to North Carolina at an early age with his parents. He had a distinguished record of service to our State before be coming a Delegate to the Con tinental Congress and Governor. He was the presiding officer at the Fayetteville Convention which elected him to the Sen ate. Senator Johnston was 55 when he was named to the Sen ate. At the conclusion of his term, he became a judge. Death ended his long career on Au gust 18, 1816, a little more than two months after the death of Benjamin Hawkins. Johnston is buried in the family cemetery ;at the “Hayes” plantation near'J Edenton. c Brief Sketches ] | While these sketches do not c i fully encompass the lives of our j I first two United States Sena l tors, it is hoped that the read-! | ers of my weekly newspaper] column will remember Senators) Hawkins and Johnston as thel i first two men of the list of 43 1 _schcnki| ■MV GO^ENgr #UIL 94 r pint | GIN (3fc r 1 \ iSchenleu t J O / 0 i E DISTILLtO DRY GIN [V 4/S QT. in ’ If ; I 1 11 ~ : f • L. * ~ • SCHENUY DISTILLERS CO.
