in Carolina, and the province was
to be divided into nine parishes.
Chowan precinct was to contain
two, separated from each other by
Albemarle Sound and Chowan Riv-
er, and to be known as the eastern
parish and the southeast parish
and southwest parish of Pasquo-
tank, separated by the Pasquotank,
Perquimans, Currituck and Hyde
precincts each formed a parish,
having for their limits the bound
aries of their precincts. Pampte-
cough River and it's branches,
commonly called Beaufort precinct,
formed a parish by the name of
"Craven parish" was formed on
the Neuse River and its branches.
To this last all the settlements
south of it were to belong until
further division should be made.
We quote from an act for the
better and more effectual preserv-
ing of the Queens peace and
establishing a good and lasting
foundation of government in North
Carolina. Hawks History of North
Carolina: Whereas the province
is annexed to and declared to be
member of the crown of England,
and the charter limits of the Pro-
vincial Assembly in making laws,
by providing that such laws shall
be consonant with reason, and as
near as may be, agreeable to the
laws and customs of our Kingdom
of England; from whence it is
manifest that the laws of England
are the laws Of this government,
so far as they are compatible with
our way Of living and trade;
therefore it is enacted: That the
common law is and shall be in
force in this government, except
in the practice of issuing writs,
etc., which here is to be regulated
from time to time by the rules
of the General Court"
There have been gradual changes
from the old English system
brought by our forefathers to the
colonies until we now have our
present perfect court system of
government, and the enforcement
| of laws in North Carolina.

Our ancestors brought with them
from the mother country princi-
pally the worship of the establish
ed church of England, the Episco-
pal religion. This religion, how
ever, was not obligatory. Indeed
we regret to note that Of religion
there was but little of any kind
in the colonies prior to 1908, ex-
cept among the Quakers over in
the Chowan and Perquimans coun-
try. In 1901, William of Orange
then King of England, chartered
the society known as the Society
for the Propagation of the Gospel
in Foreign Parts, and Mr.. Hawks
says, "It is the oldest existing
Protestant missionary in the
world. To this body, the Protes.

Sen Robertson the "Declara-
ton Of Constitutional Principles
signed by nearly 100 members
of Congress from the Southern
states.
Explaining that he had en-
joyed friendly relations in the
Senate with Senator Lehman,
although they had differed on
economic and social problems,
Robertson said it was without
rancor or bitterness that he pro-
posed to point out how incon-
sistent it is for q distinguished
member of this body to make a
strong and determined fight on
one phase of States rights and
attempt to deny a similar priv
ilege to others who invoke the
same doctrine but on a different
issue"
The declaration signed by
Southern members of Congress,
Robertson said, condemned the
Supreme Court decision as un-
warranted under the division OF
powers provided by the Consti-
tuition and unwise not only be-
cause of the effect it would have
on public schools but also be-
cause of the damage it would dc
to our constitutional form OF
government. The declaration adj
vocated only lawful" means to
bring about a reversal of the
Courts decision. Robertson re-
called that after the Eighteenth
(prohibition) Amendment and
the enforcement act adopted by
Congress had been approved by
the Supreme Court in a test
case, Senator Lehman's state
had refused to cooperate in en-
forcement of the law. He quoted
the u. S. District Attorney for
the Southern District of New
York as saying repeal Of the
New York enforcement act was
"the hardest blow the enforce
ment of the Eighteenth Amend
ment had received"
What New York Did
Robertson also quoted state.
ments of New York officials as
to the thousands of speakeasies
which operated in that state
during the prohibition period
and recalled that former Mayor
LaGuardia of New York City
had said it would take 250,00(
policemen and an additional
force Of 100000 Ito police the

ton in New York.
Recalling that Senator Leh.
man had been Lieutenant Gov.
ernor of New York during thi.
period and was Governor wher
the Eighteenth Amendment wa:
repealed, Robertson quoted
Lehman as saying that repea
marked "the end, so far as thi.
state is concerned, of a fifteen
year long struggle carried on BY
thousands of devoted and patri
otto men and women agains
Sumptuary legislation which Al
no time represented the uncon
trolled sentiment of a majority
of the people of this country.
He said former Governor ALFRED
E. Smith of New York had ad
mitted, however, that those whit
fought against prohibition haC
been called nullificationiStS anC
enemies Of the Constitution.
Robertson asked if Lehman
would not recognize "that tn,
decree requiring the Southern

States to operate mixed schools
instead of requiring separate but
equal schools for the races is in
our eyes 'sumptuary'."
: The Virginia Senator said
that in 1859 the State of Wis
consin had opposed a Supreme
Court decision requiring return
of fugitive slaves and the legiS-
lature of that state had passed
a resolution denouncing the
Court and saying that its order
was without authority. void
and Of no force"
Lincoln Quoted
Robertson said 1t was with
reference to this Wisconsin &C.
ton that Abraham Lincoln in
1861 had said: eff the policy of
the government upon vital queS-
tons affecting the whole people
is to be irrevocably fixed by a
decision of the Supreme Court
the instant they are made, in or
binary litigation between parties
in personal actions, the people
will have ceased to be their own
rulers, having to that extent
practically resigned the govern
ment into the hands of that emf
nent tribunal"
The Senator also quoted Elihu
Root as saying at the New York
convention to ratify repeal OF
the prohibition amendment that
the American people had
learned two vital lessons. "One
is that our Constitutional gov
eminent rests upon two bases,
national strength and local self
government, and that both are
essential to the continuance of
our free democracy. The
other lesson is of higher and
broader importance, that human
progress, that advance along the
road of civilization from british
animalism to the conceptions of
justice and charity has been
made not by compulsion, but
by the development of higher
standards of conduct and nobler
emotions among the people; a
lesson that advance in all that is
noble and good comes not from
without, but from within"
Robertson said Franklin D.
Roosevelt in a presidential CAM
paign speech said prohibition
had failed because I'VE have de-
pended too largely upon the
power of governmental action
instead of recognizing that the
authority of the home and that
of the churches in these matters
is fundamental force on which
we must build. The expert
ence of nearly one hundred and
fifty years under the Constitution
has shown us that the proper
means of regulation is through
the States, with control by the
Federal Government limited to
that which is necessary to pro-
tect the States in the exercise of
their legitimate powers"
"The principles declared in
those utterances," Senator Rob-
ertson said, "are the same ones
which are advocated by the
signers of the 1856 Declaration
of Constitutional Principles.
New York and other Northern
states objected to national pro-
hibition. The Southern states
now object to a prohibition
against separate but equal
schools"
He said Senator Lehman had
hailed the repeal of prohibition
as evidence that public opinion
could do legally what many had
claimed could be done only
through notification.
ut Is before the bar Of public
opinion that we Of the South
now hope to make our case"
Robertson concluded.

CTRANGE as it seems, one of the

God Loves All Sorts

It was not only the first believers
who we're amazed" that Romans
could become Christians. Believers
today are shocked from time to
time in the same way. The fiiers
in the great war who were shot
down over jungles, expe tins
death, only to find in those rain
forests people singing Christian
hymns; the prisoner in a japanese
concentration camp who found
that one of his guards knew Jesus;
the traveller in Russia who finds
that there are real Russian Chris
tians even today; these have been
amazed too. But such surprises
occur not only across the seas;
they can happen across the tracks.
Many persons show that they don't
expect the Gospel to do any good
except to some one kind of people.
For example, everybody knew Bill
" Graham could reach the masses
of Englishmen, the ordinary kind
that will flock to sports arena to
see any kind of sensation. But
when Billy Graham proposed to
visit Cambridge University, many
people advised him not to 60
You'll never get anywhere with
university students, he was told.
It's the old story, the Gospel is for
some people, not for all. Some
times it's the other way around.
People well-polished with educa-
ton and filled with culture to the
eyeglasses, don't want e in,
other kinds of people in their
church; it might lower the tone!"
No-God loves all sorts; and if we
profess to be his people, we had
better learn to love other sorts
than our own.
