custom house were moved to Will
mington, ii would be located too
far up the river. The vote was
ted three : to-three when William
Smith who had voted as a mem
Der of the council, voted again as
chairman to break the tie. Cover
ror Johnston was pleased and ex-
pressed the hope that all public
business would be transacted at
Wilmington.
That was in 1740, but so vigor-
Gus was the rootage acquired by
Brunswick that it continued to be
the home of royal governors
through the administration of Gov
erlor Tryon which ended five years
before the outbreak of the revolu-
ton.
In 1861. at Brunswick, George III
was proclaimed king in the pres
ence of Governor Dobbs, the coun-
Gil, and an assemblage of leading
Cape Fear planters. The procla-
nation ceremonies were repeated
the following day in Wilmington.
In 1865 when the Stamp Act resis-
lance occurred at Brunswick, Will
mington had about twice as many
inhs bitaats as Brunswick, and
when the revolution began about
three times as many. The gradual
decline continued until Brunswick
ceased to exist as a town. But so
strong was the attachment of old
time Cape Fear residents that for
some time afterwards they contin-
ued to bury their dead in the
%churchyard of old St Phillips at
abandoned Brunswick.
Hidden among moss-hung pines
and dense underground, the mel
ancholy ruins remained for almost
a hundred years after abandon
ment as a town. Beyond the bluff
swept the wide, historic river,
while ocean breezes from the near
by sea sang a requiem through the
pines.
When the Civil War came, Fort
Anderson, a great earthWorks for
LITIGATION, was built on the site and
enclosed within one of its arms
the walls of old St. Phillips. Hos
tile shells fell near, but the walls,
as if miraculously, escaped dam
age. Today they stand amid a new
grown forest, and together with
tobs in the c~hurchyard, are all
that is left of once proud Bruins
wick. Nearby is respondent Orion,
still rejecting the splendour of
Cape Fear life in Colonial North
Carolina when the Port of Bruins
wick gave high promise of becom-
ing one of the Eastern seaboard's
chief commercial c%enters and per-
manent seat of government for
North Carolina.

TIME FOR REVISION

North Cardinals marriage laws are
scheduled for a long-overdue tightening
up if proposals presented TO the General
Assembly last week are approved.
These measures call for IL specific re-
visions Of the present statutes. In only
three recommendations would drastic
changes in present laws be made.
These are:
Raising Of the minimum legal marriage
age from IA 10 l6 years; requirement Of a
40-hour waiting period between the ap-
plication for and issuance of a MARRIAGE
license, and requirement Of parental con-
sent in the marriage Of persons up TO l8
years old. The present law requires con-
sent up to l6 years.
The suggestions are the result of the
study Of North Carolina domestic relations
statutes conducted by a commission au-
ihorized by the l945 Legislature. We agree
with the bodY's report labelling a large
portion Of the domestic laws as confused
and unclarified." With these and other
facts in hand, it is now the responsibility
OF the Legislature 10 see that the situation
is corrected.
All familiar with social problems know
that many stem from too-lax marriage
laws. While recognizing the family and
home as the basis for society, this ano
many other stages continue TO ignore thu
tact that marriage of the TOO young i
n Of the factors resulting in many un
stable or wrecked homes. The waitin,
period would discourage hasiY and unwis
marriages which so frequently end i
divorce. There is precedent for the PR

Historian Recalls Early
North Carolina VILLAGE
Bx JAMES ROGERS

One of the strange facts relating to American history
is that the historians have largely overlooked the part play
ed in winning independence by the citizens of a now vanish
ed North Carolina town which was founded in 1925 and
flourished for half a century, and which during it's existence
furnished American patriots who resisted with arms British
tyranny 10 years before the opening guns of the American
Revolution sounded at Lexington in 1775.

GRAND JURY's PROPOSALS

The recommendations Of the New Han
over county Grand jury on the matter
Of selection Of applicants for the police
force, sp%otlighted by the arrest Of two
officers and their subsequent discharge
on charges Of breaking and entering, point
the way toward solution Of the problem.
II is obvious that the first matter TO be
decided is where the responsibility Of
thoroughly investigating the qualitica-
lions Of an applicant lies.
The City Civil Service commission as
serts that the right and privilege Of re-
isciing any and all applicants rests with
he Chief Of Police.
The City Attorney has said that the
Chief has no legal authority TO make
Investigations Of applicants on his own.
Upon Investigation, the Grand jury
found thai there is a difference Of opin-
ion, with the Commission on one hand
and the Police department on the other,
as TO which agency has the responsibility
Of thoroughly investigating the q%ualifi-
cations Of applicants ..." AS a result.
il added, apparently in the past com
plete investigation has moi been made in
every case"
As the result Of this apparent disagree
ment, the jurYs proposal that the At
torneY General be called in 10 referee
the question is a sound one. His ruling
should clear the mailer. But if ii fails
to do so, then possible legislative action
10 remedy the situation beyond any mis-
understanding would be the next step.
In addition, the jury also requested re-
investigation of the qualifications Of the
present department. This, according TO
its suggestion, should be done by the
local agency designated by the Attorney
General. There modification Of the pro-
posal appears in order. Should the Police
department be named in the ruling, self
examination would net be satisfactory.
In event the Civil Service commission is
held responsible, it does not have the
time and facilities for such an undertake
ing. Best course would be 10 call in an
independent and neutral agency, such
as the State or Federal Bureau Of In
v~estigaiion.
But denomination is as important as
any other point proposed by the jury.
We are convinced the character and
Integrity of the department as a whole
is good. The past record supports that
contention and we shall continue 10 look
upon the cases Of the two officers as in
dividual ones. But some here apparent
lY do not subscribe to that view. They
are making the serious mistake Of ludq-
ing IN organization by the alleged mis-
conduct Of Two men. II is obvious that
such an attitude is detrimental to the
public respect the department must have
if it is TO function at an efficient level
For that reason, it should be re-surveyed
and given The clean bill Of health il
would undoubtedly receive.
If it is found that there are officer:
who, on the basis Of their past, are no
fully qualified they should be discharged
This action would therefore serve tw,
good purposes: First. reaffirm full publi'
confidence in the force and. second. elimi
nate any unfit.
II is good that the Grand jury. Civi

one filled a coffee cup too full, or
some thoughtless person left print
of lipstick on the napkins.
Yes, these are all problems on
washday, but are easily taken care
of if a few precautions are taken.
The first and most important pre-
caution is to give these stains special
care before ever dousing them in
the washer or wash water.
Fruit and berry stains should be
treated Immediately, if possible, as
they are hard to remove after they
are dry. Boiling water will remove
most fruit stains from cotton or
linen. Stretch the stained part over
a bowl, fasten it with string, and
pour boiling water on it from a tea
