In earty October ISBO, Professor
BeitJamln S. Hedrick of the University
of North Carolina created a furor In the
state by acknowledging that he was
oigioaed to slavery and favored the
election of the Republican candidate for
President, John C. Fremont.
Practically every newqiaper In the
state came out for Hedrick’s dismissal
from the University. On October 18,
1806, the University's Board of Ttustees
fired him.

OBITU^RieS
Professor Hedrick eventually left
North Carolina, moving to Washington,
D. C., where he worked for the U. B.
Patent Office.
Instead of being bitter, however. Dr.
Hedrick worked diligently for the relief
of Confederate prisoners of war during
the Civil War and was especially con
cerned with the welfare of his native
state during the Reconstruction Period.

On October 13,1898, the cornerstone of
Old Bast, the first building to be erected
at the University of North Carolina In
CSufiel Hill, was laid by William
Richardson Davie, Grand Master, and
Members of the Grand Lodge of Masons
of North Carolina.
Davie, elected governor five years
later, was regarded as the "Father of
the University of North Carolina" for
his efforts In Its establishment.
Old East Is believed to be die oldest
building still In use in the country.
-oOo-
WllUam Hawkins, governor of North
Carolina during the War of 1812, was
bom October 10, 1777.
Due to his anticipation of the war, and
the state's subsequent preparation.
North Carolina was one of the few states
ready to meet the emergency when It
came. The state had already
strengthened Its coastal defenses and
prepared Its militia. It easily met Its
quota of troops for the national defense.
North Carolina troops served In the
Alabama Territory under General
Andrew Jackson, fighting Indians, not
the British. This state’s only brush with
the war came when a British man-o-war
dropped anchor at Ocracoke Island, but
was quickly driven off by the gathering
of local militia.
-oOo-
(ki October 4, 1774, the first postal
contract service In North Carolina was
awarded to James Davis of New Bern.
Davis, the first official state printer,
who was also the first editor and
publisher tai the state’s history, was
authorized to ‘‘f(»^ard public dispat
ches” to all parts of the province.
-oOo-
Hurricane Hazel, the most destructive
storm ever to hit the Inland portions of
the state, struct the North Carolina
coastline on October 16, 1964.
-oOo-
The first North Carolina State Fair
was held In Raleigh In October 18-21,
1888. It was sponsored by the State
Agricultural Society.
