Brunswick Between Bookends, By A l Amt sen “NORTH CAROLINA IN 1861”—by Janies Boykin. Something about the author— Born near Garland, N. C. He attended Shaw University and took his graduate studies at the Graduate School of N. C. College in Durham. He has been a member of the faculty at St. Augustine since 1951. He also wrote “The Negro in North Carolina prior to 1861”. Can we learn something from studying the past ? Or is it as some say—the only thing we learn is that man never learns. wen, no matter, we an to some degree are interested in those1 years gone by, and what folks in those days said and did. Many volumes have been writ ten with the intent of recon structing the past. Most recently a great deal of this effort has centered on the Civil War, pre sented with varied viewpoints and interpretations. Author Boykin has written here a rather short and extremely con cise book concerning the condi tions in North Carolina just prior to its secession and the Civil War. It is bound to be somewhat WL jjj (zdo (ML £0 B HOW TO SWALLOW A PILL The few people who experience difficulty usually move their head backwards. This tends to narrow the entrance passageway.

I felt while reading, that it was as if the presence of the author was there just to make sure the facts were properly presented, but he himself having no wish to intrude on the scene. Because of this fact, if the reader is to understand Boykin’s feelings, he must read the intro duction. This is always helpful, of course, but here it is a must. The book is in two parts. The first is a factual, self-descriptive account of the social, economic and religious conditions existing in our State in the year 1861. We have not here though, the portraying of situations and fac tions, nor the explanation of events. Thru -court reports, deeds, wills, newspapers, church min utes, personal letters and tele grams (and numerous other sources) he projects across the pages the moving, stream of peo ple that made North Carolina what it was 100 years ago. We are carried through the procedures which created the boundaries of our counties on to the reading of a letter concern ing a business transaction be tween friends without stressing in any way that one event was more important than the other. jbeMbsw NowJbeaulifid buying days during Chevy's GOLDENSALES JUBILEE!

The May Day Festival at B. C. T. School is to be held on Friday, and once more this day of festivity is to be ushered in by a grand parade led by the B. C. T. Band. The traditional crowning of the May Queen, the Maypole winding, various dances performed by the students, and games will highlight this day. Re freshments will be on sale. Plan now to spend May 4th with us at B. C. T. Tuesday evening at 8 o’clock the 52 voice B. C. T. Chorus, directed by James H. Frink, will present its annual spring concert in the school gymtorium. Music ranging from the 17th century composer Pierre Dagues to the contemporary American composer Randall Thompson will be per formed by the group. Everyone is most cordially invited to attend this concert. There will be no admission charges. So also in the chapters on reli gious and educational conditions. In these pages one can read from a school announcement that it had been noted pupils advanced more rapidly under male super intendents than under the sole management of a female; then finds pronouncements of spokes men from the various churches on the issue of slavery. He ap parently goes out of his way to avoid emotionalism, but inserts through these recollections much warm human interest. It makes you realize that in all the tedium and routine of our meetings and decisions we too are moving to ward something. Because after all, those people too, were just plain folks! After drawing the picture in this way the author uses the second part of the book to pre sent us with the events that led North Carolina into seceding from the Union. The name Smith ville leaps from the pages several times and created in me, at least, the child-like reaction of want ing to turn to someone and say, “That’s Southport, where I live’’. Of further interest along those lines wall be the number of pages devoted to the telling of the seizure of Fort Caswell. This seemed to be one of the events that focalized secessionist feelings in the State. This book of course has a limit ed appeal. In my mind however, I can see a great many people in this area who would read this book with the same seeking nos talgia they would pore over an old, old family album. The tariff structures recently established by the European Com mon Market provide for a mini mum tariff of 13.2 cents per pound of tobacco, with an ad valorem tariff of 28 per cent and a maximum tariff of 17 cents per pound.
