The Hoke County Library re
cently bought a substantial number
of microfilms of Hoke County
Superior Court records and other
historical material.
Cataloguing and indexing have
been completed by Paul Fu. the
library's consultant, and interested
persons are welcome to use them.
The records were microfilmed by
the North Carolina Department of
Archives and History. Hoke County
was part of Robeson and Cumber
land counties before being formed
in 1911 into a separate political
unit. Historical resources on the
Hoke area are parts of the mother
county library collection.
Researchers sometimes had to go
to Fayetteville and Lumberton to
locate pre- 1911 records. The Hoke
library, however, now has a com
plete set of the original historical
material. It includes county
Supreme Court minutes, orders
and decrees, special proceedings
docket, marriage register, military
discharges, resumption ot? maiden
names, records of wills, deeds,
settlements, land sales, inheritance
tax. real estate conveyance, and tax
scrolls, including Indian, black,
and white.
The microfilm collection also
contains, from the National Ar
chives. census records before 1911.
of the population of Robeson and
Cumberland counties listing resi
dents and the members of their
families living in what became the
Hoke area. Some of these are
forebears of present Hoke County
people.
Anyone interested in doing re
search into local and family history
will be helped by the microfilm
collection in locating information
about ancestors' properties, land
transactions, military service, and
marriages. Fu can help with such
research.

LAW ,g
For Laypersons
Oncc a victim of domestic
violence has obtained a protective
order from a District Court under
North Carolina's Domestic
Violence Act, he or she can use it
in a very effective manner. If the
offending party violates any provi
sions of the judge's order, the vic
tim can return to court and ask the .
judge to require the offending par- v!
ty to come before him and explain
why he or she should not be held in
civil contempt for violation of the
order.
The victim of the domestic
violence may also show a law en
forcement officer the copy of the
order and request that the offend
ing party be arrested and taker
into custody. If the law enforce- .
ment officer has reasonable cause "
to believe that the offending party
had indeed violated the protective
order which excludes him from the
household occupied by the victim
or which directs that party to
refrain from harassing or interfer
ing with the victim, then the law
enforcement officer MUST arrest
and take into custody the offen
ding party. If the victim does not
have a copy of the order to show,
the law enforcement may deter- )
mine that such a protective order
exists through telephone, radio or
other communication with ap
propriate authorities.
After the offending party has
been arrested, the law enforcement
officer must bring him or her
before the appropriate District
Court judge at the earliest time
possible to show cause why he or
she should not be held in civil con- ,
tempt for violation of the order. If
the offending party is found to be
in civil contempt by the District
Court judge, he or she may be im
prisoned until ready to comply
with the judge's protective order.
