What Do You Know About North Carolina? By FRED H. MAY 1. When were Superior Courts pro vided for each county? 2. What meeting held in Chatham county in 1828 was the beginning of North Carolina’s greatest industrial development? 3. How many Federal soldiers died at the Salisbury Military prison? 4. What was Governor Johnston’s comment on the legislature of 1744? 5. When was North Carolina land offered at a rate of 500 acres for 1000 pounds °f sugar? 6. How long was William Hill Sec retary of State of North Carolina? ANSWERS. 1. In 1806 a system of courts was established that provided for dividing the State into districts, and for hold ing Superior Courts twice each year in each county. 2. The first meeting in the State to consider building a railroad. This meeting was held at the home of Wil liam Albright on August 1, that year. 3. The official list gives the names of 2,504 Federal soldiers who died in the prison during the war. Most of these deaths occurred during the fall of 1864 and spring of 1865. 4. Governor Johnston was trying to force the passage of certain rent laws. Upon the refusal of the assembly to carry out his wishes he addressed to it a message which included this sen tence; “I say Gentlemen this is such a conduct such an attempt as I am not sufficient master of words to be stow the proper Epithets upon it.” 5. In 1664 in ari effort to secure fi nances for an expedition to bring set tlers to the Cape Fear section an of fer of 500 acres of land was made to all persons who would contribute 1000 pounds of sugar. 6. Hill, who moved to Raleigh fi’om Caswell county in 1806 was elected Secretary of State by the legislature in 1811. Each legislature thereafter, regardless of politics, reelected him until his death in 1857. He served the State in that office 46 years and was affectionately known as, “Old Sec.” You're Telling 54e... Senator Minton of Indiana wants newspapers to print only the truth.

Adopted, they work satisfactorily. They have thus far on a state-wide scale in Wiscon sin, anyway. The complaint of Rooseveltian pro gressive measures is that they are all right as to their objectives, but that they fizzle in application. La Fol lette-ism seems to be applicable as well as theoretical. In short, the La Follettes, while Re publicans or Progressives, are demo crats. They fit the political philosophy of Senator Joseph C. O’Mahoney’s so pears to be starting otf on similar iines. Senator O’Mahoney’s committee is after facts —not trying to convict any body of anything.

German-Americans in this country date back largely to the Germans \yho swarmed in here in the 184fl’s, they hated the native German intolerance. Italians came long before fascism was invented.
