Two Mail Deliveries

Another evidence that Wilmington
is emerging from the aftermath OF war
is the announcement that twlce-dally
mail deliveries will be resumed shortly.
The City Council is to be gratefully
congratulated for the part it has taken
in laying the foundation for the same
service in the areas taken into the city
last January.
But for the Councils request to the
Postoffice Department that the same
privileges be extended to all residents
in the new city boundaries the two de-
liveries would have been limited to the
area thus served in the old city before
the lack of manpower brought the order
from Washington for a single daily de-
livery.
This was not within the province of
the Council, but it was quick to present
the case to the department, with re-
suit that the former suburbanites will
be included in the new schedule, if not
as soon as the old city then within a
reasonable time thereafter.

no memorial for it's service men, nor
any effective program for creating one.
The Star-News believes the fund
should be brought back to Com
mission action and a sufficient force
employed to compile the names of all
men hailing from this county in active
service at any period of the war, in
formation for which should be available
through the draft boards and the War
Department, and that, when the list is
completed and proved by reference to
all records correct, fitting memorial
be installed in a conspicuous place out
side the court house.
The responsibility for the undertake
ing rests with the Board of County
Commissioners. It is distinctly coun-
ty project, not the city's or the Leg
ions or any other organization It
would not be amiss, however, for the
board to employ returned veterans in
whatever number is deemed necessary
for the actual work.
There is room in the court house for
such a staff. By locating it there it
would be convenient for the commits
sion or commissioners committee to
exercise necessary supervision.

A Veterans Memorial

Whether through misunderstand-

that New Hanover county has no tablet
containing the names of men taking part
in the nations battle against the ag-
gressors in World War II.
The plan had been to do it in bronze
on the court house grounds and the
Board of County Commissioners set
up some $1,000 for the purpose. Then
talk went the rounds that the city was
preparing the lists and the American
Legion too, and with the county doing
the same thing three groups would have
tackled the same job, tripling the work

Courtesy In Driving

Here is something we have never
been able to understand. Why is it
that persons who never vary in the
courteous treatment Of guests in their
homes seem to forget there is such a
word as courtesy the moment they get
behind the steering wheel of an auto
mobile?
Why do they "hog" the road, why
have their headlights on full blast in
city streets, why overlap park n G
spaces, why squeeze into close-ranked
traffic lines, all to the discomfort and
hazard of other drivers, when they
would do more commit equivalent Of
fenses under their own roofs than vio-
late the smallest and most inconsequen-
tial rule of department?
There must be reason but we have
never discovered it. At the same time
drivers are urged to give the other fel-
low break in traffic and parking in
proportion to their expectation of get
ting break themselves.

Stalin's Position

The tenor of Premier Stains re-
plies to questions posed by Eddy Gil
more, Associated Press correspondent,
is heartening. Stain attacks "great
Importance to the United Nations
Organization as serious instrument"
for the preservation of peace and in
ternational security" He is convinced
neither nations nor their armies "are
seeking another war, but fears certain
political groups are engaged in propa-
ganda of new war" and are Sowing
seed of discord and uncertainty" He
sees a need for counter-propaganda
"against these advocates of a new war;"
and says it is necessary to EXPOSE the
warmongers without loss of time"
This is sound thinking. It is to be
hoped that Stain will issue orders to
his agents everywhere not to deviate
from the principles he has promulgated.
Here is the rub. For neither the
agents of Moscow or Russian army lead
ers have given the outside world rea-
son to think they are dominated by the
same policies, but instead have con-
stantly created "discord and uncer-
tainty" not only at international gath
erings on the one hand but perilously
close to aggression on the other, as
events in Manchuria and Iran prove
If Stains influence is supreme in
the Soviet Union and his answers were
not phrased for effect, great and well
come change is in store for Russia.
AS for warmongers, Stains refer
ence obviously is to Winston Churchill
who stirred hornets nest at Fulton,
when he was so outspoken against Rus
sia and called for complete accord
among English-speaking peoples. There
doubtless are many persons in this coun-
try who will agree heartily with Stalin's
assertion that the warmongers should
be Exposed without loss of time"
+ These matters will invite not only
attention but settlement during the
session of the Security Council, sched-
uled to open in New York tomorrow
when the 1ranian issue will be among
the earlier subjects brought up.
Stains position as indicated by the
answers to Gilmore's queries will be
confirmed or disproved at this meeting.

BY JOHN SKIES

Mr.. Louis T. Moore, who prob
ably knows as much about North
Carolina history, egend, and
lore as anybody, called me the
other day to say there is an item
that maybe some of the new
corners to the State don't know
about. AS a matter of fact, I'd
almost forgotten the item myself,
and I've been trying to find what
goes on, and what went on, in the
State for years.
So, I'll just turn the proceed
|ings over to Mr.. Moore, and let
him tell you all about the item.
"How many Tar Heels of the
present day and time know that
shortly after the Revolutionary
War there were two separate and
independent governments within
the accredited boundaries OF one
state?
These were the State Of North
Carolina and the State of Frank
lin, or Frankland as it has been
spelled. For several years the lat
ter designated body functioned as
independent political unit until fin
ally, when money and resources
disappeard, bids to come home
to the mother state were accep-
ted.
"The facts behind the life and
short existence of the embryo
state involved a fascinating study
Of the will and determination of
dissatisfied people and may be
of interest to present day citizens
who are unfamiliar with the de-
tails.
THE close of the Revolutionary
War found the United States in
volved with heavy responsibilities
and burdened with debts. A sug-
gestion for help was that states
owning vacant lands throw them
into a common lot and deed them
to the national government. Pur-
suant thereto, in 1874 the Gen
eral Assembly in session at Hill
sboro ceded the western lands
of the State and authorized our

Congressional delegation to ex-
ecute a deed, provided Congress
accept the offer within two years.
Pioneers of the west had under
gone terrible hardships in settling
the territory. While they favored
cession of the lands they viewed
the act of the Legislature with
suspicion. On Aug, %, 1874,
convention was held at Jonesboro.
John Sewer was chosen pres
ident and Langdon Carter clerk.
They decided to send repre-
sentative to Washington to urge
that the original offer be accepted.
To their chagrin and disapproval,
they were astonished and angered
when the General Assembly met
at New Bern on Oct. %, 1874,
and hurriedly repealed the act OF
cession of vacant lands.
ION Dec. IA, 1884, at another
meeting at Jonesboro, John Sewer
read a letter which informed them
that the Legislature had granted
to the people of Western North
a general court, had formed their
military into a brigade, appointed
Sewer a brigadier general, and had
revoked the act of session OF
lands. Those present were In
furiated.
Immediately, they proceeded
to draft a Constitution for the State
of Franklin, which was to be ac-
cepted or rejected at a subsequent
session. When this session was
held the Constitution was rati-
fled. Langdon carter was made
Speaker of the Senate and Will
liam Cage Speaker of the House
of Commons.
John Sewer was chosen Gov
ernor of the State of Franklin:
David Campbell, Joshua Gist and
John Henderson were selected
as judges of the Superior court.
Other officers, military and
civil, were also appointed. Fol-
lowing this organization, the Cen
eral Assembly of the State OF
Franklin, in communication
signed by both Speakers, informed

"A DEN OF THIEVES

"The zeal of Thine House hath
eaten Me up" So wrote the Proph-
ct concerning Jesus. This is quoted
in the New Testament as an expla-
ton Of the impelling motive which
caused Him to drive out tn traf-
fickers and money changers from
the Temple, an His stern rebuke
to them: cit is written: My House
shall be called an House OF Prayer
for all people, but ye have made
it a den of thieves.
Had these profaners OF the Tenn
pie argued as do the people of the
present day, they would have ex-
cused their conduct by saying:
I'VE are doing the people favor
by having animals for sale con-
venient for sacrifice; many OF them
come from long distances and it
would be very inconvenlent Tor
them to bring their animals with
them" However this was emphati-

nor of His Father.

a portion of the herds, and when
