Cape Fear in Lincoln Papers

The Lincoln papers which were open
cd to public inspection at the Library
of Congress, Washington, so recently,
are being studied by historians in the
hope of finding new material bearing
upon the martyred Presidents life. But
the search is not restricted to historians
alone.
One Wilmington veteran, now in
Washington with the purpose of enter
ing George Washington university next
month, is among those examining the
papers with absorbed interest. And his
search has not been in vain so far as
Wilmington is concerned.
Among the vast collection he found
a brief notation concerning the Cape
Fear blockade. At the top is written,
"Received by flag Of truce Jan. 30th."
The paperhead is that of The Richmond
Daily Enquirer. The date is Jan. 16,
1854. The article is headed: "The
Blockade off Wilmington"
The article reads:
"A gentleman direct from Whining
ton, reports that the enemy now have
twenty-six vessels blockading the port.
These vessels are scattered for a mile
or two off the mouth of the Cape Fear,
and guard all the avenues of approach
with the most sleepless vigilance. The
consequences are that the chances of
running the blockade have been great
ly lessened, and it is apprehended by
some that the day is not far distant
when it will be an impossibility for a
vessel to get into that port without
incurring hazards almost equivalent to
positive loss. Having secured nearly
every seaport on our coast, the Yankees
are enabled to keep large force off
Wilmington"
It was not until the night of Janu-
ary Is, 1865, that the Fort Fisher bat
tie ended and with it the end of all
Confederate hope Of running the book
ade of Yankee ships off the mouth of
the Cape Fear.

A Spiral'S Motive Power


While it is impossible to saw
what forces or factors are most

viciousness, it is possible, where
initiation is concerned, to vote how
and why that spiral moves up.
ward. The motive power for the
Whlrllng effect may be registered
even if the circle cannot be brok-
en- down into its specific arcs Of
responsibility.
The latest turn behind the up
ward motion Of spiraling living
costs is represented by stable
hike in General Motors products.
Eshind that, in turn, is the equal
~ sizable increase in the cost of
steel and, behind that, in its pri-
mary effect is the mounting cost
OF coal. No one has to be told that
coal costs jumped after John l..
Lew S circumvented the Taft
Hartley Act and wrung unparal-
leled concessions and wage hikes
from the mine operators. Initiation
in this instance may be traced
back to its source. The effect will
not end in the field OF auto

same pattern which has been as

Because a petition bearing the sig
natures of many Hudson citizens was
presented to the state board asking
no action be taken against Mr.. Fritz,
it is surmised that this circuitous pro-
cess may not be employed.
There the matter stands, as this is
written. That he should be exonerated
is not compatible with business ethics.
However competent teacher Mr.. Fritz
is, he confesses he violated the rules
governing good business conduct.
His resignation would obviate the
necessity to find means for his dis
missal.

The Fritz Case

There is no apparent evidence that
MIR. r. L. Fritz, Jr., principal of the
Hudson district schools, personally
profited by the payroll Irregularities of
which ne was accused. But Mr.. Fritz.
himself, has acknowledged that he di-
vided salary checks issued to persons
not at the time actually teaching among
teachers whom he considered entitled
to more pay than they were receiving
because of overtime work.
On what evidence it had in hand
the State Board of Education revoked
his teaching certificate, and at the
same time directed the Caldwell County
Board of Education to reimburse the
State Treasury for all monies wrongful
ly paid out by the Hudson schools dur
ing the last school term, which is ap-
praised at $1,641.19. However, in Ra-
leisn yesterday, Mr.. Fritz declared he
had returned this amount to the State
Board.
Whatever justification he may have
felt for juggling public funds-and he
frankly admitted he set up peculiar
system of bookkeeping-it would ap-
pear that the state board had no alter
native to it's action calling in his GER
tificate
But there is doubt in the Attorney
Generals office that the board was with
in its rights in so doing. Mr.. Harry
Mcmillan, the Attorney General, says
he can find no authorization in the
General Statutes which provides for
revocation of certificate by the state
board. This authority is vested in the
Superintendent of Public Instruction
and then only when the necessary com
plant is lodged agaist teacher by q
