t—SECTION TWO PAGE FOUR WENERAL JAMES lUEEN MARTIN ' V Continued from Page 1. Section 1 Ms state and the Confederacy Soon he was made adjutant-gen d*al of North Carolina with the dtity of changing a farming State to a military training camp. This he did with great difficulty and against great odds, as the State then was poorly equipped with factories and mar kets. The Legislature had great faith in his ability and gave him great power and money. Within a few months he turned over to the Confederacy forty thous and trained and equipped men, and within a year North Caro i lina had nearly sixty thousand men in camp. As rapid as he could General Martin prepared and added regi ment to regiment for the battle field. He organized regiments of young boys called Juhior Re serves. Later on he organized old men called Senior Reserves, ’ and men who could not leave home were trained as Home Guards. According to the rec ords, North Carolina furnished one hundred twenty-five thous and men in the War Between The States. Generaj Martin’s task to equip the North Carolina troops was a hard one. Early in the war, he hired Frenchmen to make swords and bayonets in Wil mington. He instructed Guilford County and Fayetteville arsenals to make rifles, and a powder mill near Raleigh to make gun powder. He started a clothing factory in Raleigh and ordered all the mills in the State to send him all of their cloth. Shoes were bought in the far south, and the women furnished the blankets. By the end of the first year of the war, General Martin rea lized that he would have to buy his supplies, for the State in foreign markets. He then asked permission of Governor Clark to buy a ship for blockade-running to go to the foreign markets and bring back supplies. Gov ernor Clark, soon to leave of fice, asked him to present his plans to the next Governor. Zebulan B. Vance. Governor Vance approved the plans and soon a ship was bought in Eng land and renamed the Ad-Vance in honor of the governor. The State bought cotton and rosin and exchanged them for supplies needed. This was the beginning 6f the blockade-running and soon other ships began to slip in and out of North Carolina ports. Even though three lines of Federal warships were kept | around Wilmington, and many I ships sunk or captured, the blockade-running continued un til there was a lack of money, i As a result of the courageous blockade-running service, North j Carolina troops were kept in fair i comfort until the last months of the war, and the Confederate government was kept in many necessary items. When General Martin’s work ! of preparing the State troops for military service was over, he organized his famous “Mar tin’s Brigade”, made up of Tar Heels recruited from farms of qastern North Carolina. At New Bern, in February, 1864, his bri gade drove the Federals back. General Robert E. Lee heard about General Martin’s skill as an officer, and called ■ him to the defense of Petersburg, Va. There, on May 14. 1864. his Tar Heel Brigade formed the only line of defense of the city. Six days later they won for them selves great distinction when they drove the invaders back. During the ten months seige of Petersburg General Martin’s health broke down due to con stant battles and exposure to all kinds of weather. He was transferred to Western North Carolina with headquarters at Asheville where he again raised more troops for the Confederacy. After the war ended in 1865. General Martin took up the | practice of law in the city where he had been sent to regain his health. He lived there and prac ticed law until his death on October 4, 1878, at the age of 59 years. Truly, it can be said of him that he was a Great American. Wrong Nickname • When Wilbam was getting ready for college he told the family, “I wish you all would atop calling me ‘Big Bill’.” ' they asked. ‘ “College names sometimes stick, and you know I am going fbbe a doctor.” * Legal Notices KH® certain Deed of Trust executed by Shermai; Spruill and wife, Alma W.
