Along The Cape Fear

ST. JAMES PARISH-The be-
ginning Of St. James parish, the
oldest church of the city, is
somewhat obscure as few rec
ords have been preserved of it's
early days, the Rev. Mortimer
Glover, rector, wrote for the
Pictorial and Historical New
Hanover County and Whining
ton, N. c., published in 1888
by William Lord de Rossett.
In 1715 the Colonial legisla-
ture passed an act providing for
the establishment of St. James
Parish, but no services were
held until about 1923, when the
Rev. Richard Marsden was set
tied as first minister of the
Parish through the good offices
of the Society for Propogating
the Gospel. For a number of
years services were held in the
court house and not until 1851
was a church building started.
The Hon. Louis de Rosset and
Fredrick Gregg, Esq, we'll
known figures in the colonial
life of Wilmington, were the
commissioners under whose
direction the first church build
ing was completed in ITO.
It stood on the South side of

and Fourth streets, extending

CAPE FEAR RISES
AFTER BIG RAINS
River Expected To Reach

Early Today

RALEIGH, Nov. 12-P)-The
U. S. Weather Bureau reported
today that rivers of Eastern
North Carolina are rising sharply
as a result of heavy rains this

morrow morning, and 26 feet, six
feet above flood stage, at Eliz-
abethtown on Friday morning.

street itself. During the Revo-
lutionary war and for some
years thereafter no religious
services were held in the church.
During the occupation of Will
mington by the British army en-
closure of the grave yard was
removed and burned, the church,
itself, stripped Of its pews and
other furniture, and converted
first into hospital for the sick,
then into a block house for de-
fense against the Americans, and
finally into a riding school Tor
Tarleton's Dragons.
In 1889 the first building was
torn down and the present church
erected at the corner OF Third
and Market streets. The charac-
ter of the interior has been
changed several times, the side
galleries were removed, a tran
sept was added, and the chancel
was rebuilt, while the furnishings
and decorations have been
changed many times.
In 1865 during the occupa-
ton of the city by the U. S
Army, the federal commander
seized the church and converted
it into military hospital. After
the War Between the States the
building was repaired, ano
about the same time a small
building for parish use was
erected in the rear Of the church
