had volunta rily and personally engaged to per form on the contrary all persons should be at lil>erty to exercise their own mode of worship these declara tions involved the downfall of the es tablished church it enly remained for the laws of the new state to be brought into conformity with the new constitution marriage was put on a proper footing in 1778 by a law giving the privilege of performing ihe cere mony to all ministers alike neit tbe terms of the affirmation for quakers moravians mennonites and duukards were fixed the restriction of sehool teaching to men fortified with the cer tificate of the anglican authorities of course disappeared and the law res pectiug the cure of the orphan chil dren or quakers was repealed it iseyident that north carolina from the moment that it declared it self an independent state asserted an exclusive and unchallenged authority over religious matters it could had it so chosen have retained tbe estab lishment and endowment of the angli can or episcopa 1 church it might have established the presbyterian church as it was then aud is still es tablished in scotland it might have given calvin ists of the congregational type the same privileges which they enjoyed at the time in the colony of massachusetts it might had a ma jority of the colonists been catholics have made catholicism the religion of the state it did none of these things but in its fundamental organic lay it made as we have seen a close approach to universal toleration nevertheless there was one provision which in pro cess of time seemed to require amend ment the thirty-second section of the state constitution of 1779 read as follows no person who shall deny the being of god or the truth of the protestant religion or the divine au thority of either the old or new teg tament or shall hold religious princi | pies incompatible with the freedom ! and safety of the state shall be capa ble of holding any office or place of trust or profit iti the civil department within the state as time went on there were various interpretations of the section one theory held that it clearly excluded atheists and kucb deists as made a parade of their infidel ity by proclaiming the scriptures to be false others thought that it disquali fied the jews also on the ground that the latter must necessarily deny the divine authority of the new testa ment still others maintained that | quakers meunonites and dunkards were disqualified because their belief that arms cannot lawfully be used in defence of one's native country is sub versive of its freedom aud repugnant to its safety many lawyers declared and their views seemed to have been | followed in practice that the clause in question excluded uobod ; that for want of a specified tribunal to expound and enforce it the provision was a dead letter there is no doubt that the clause i had been aimed at roman catholics i but it had never been interpreted i against them thomas burke who professed the catholic faith was a member of the continental congress from north carolina aud in 1781 i was elected governor of the state there was no state office from that of governor down to that of constable which hai not at one time or another been filled by a catholic perhaps the mo-t distinguished of these was wil liam gaston who had been successive ly a member of the state senate » rppresenative in congress and a jus tice of th state supreme court no complaint was made when judge gas ton assumed hi seat upon the bench nevertheless it was thought best to amend the section in question when the matter came up in the constitu tional con vention of 1 835 in the con stitution of notth carolina framed and adopted then the word christian i was substituted for protestant and thus in the words uttered by judge imtod at the time was the carcass of the last remnant of religious persecu tion interred les»t its pestilential ef fluvia should poison the atmosphere of freedom there are 30,000 acres of watermel ons iu georgia with a deficit the date of president clereland departure n still doubtful owing to the pressure of important public busi ness senator candetu wants him to join him in a fishing excursion in west virginia before he goes to gray gables but it is not certain that he will be able to do so a leai of north carolina history new york sun there is no question of deeper in terest to the provinces of the ( aiuulian dominion 01 to any country which at present lies outside the boundaries of the united states than the inquiry what would be the rights of such pn vince or country in respoct to provi sions concerning religion within its territory so far as the federal gov ernment is concerned that ax we know is debarred from touching the matter by the first amendment to the consti tution which declares that congress hall make no law respecting an estab lishment of a religion or prohibiting i he free exercise thereof that limi tation on the powers of congress is inrgely due to the course taken bj north carolina which as in well known refused to adopt the constitu tion unless supplemented by amend ments of which this was the chief the fact shows that north carolina was determined to reserve to itself as a state the exclusive right of regulating religion and for that reason the re cord of the relations of church and state in that commonwealth it peculi arly instructive the subject hus re yen tly been discussed at length and with singular lucidity by prof stephen b weeks in a contribution to the se ries of the johns hopkiiu studies in historical and political science in north carolina as in virginia the church of england was by law es tablished up to the outbreak of the revolution and the abolition of it wus one of the first steps taken in each state by the convention called to frame a constitution that a majori ty of the inhabitants of n rlh caroli na were disseiiters through the greater part of the colonial epoch is proved by rhe extreme difficulty not to say im possibility of levying tithes and pro viding other resources for the mainte nance or the anglican clerjiy never theless although tho payment of tithes could be evaded there were other hardships and disabilities which dissen lers including presbyterian as well as baptists methodists quakers mor avians mennonites dunkards unita rians and catholics could not avoid all these tion conformists suffered from the muster law by which a dis tinction was made in favor of the cler gymen of the church of england and against dissenting ministers then again although scotland was supposed to enjoy equal rights with england in the colonies even presbyterian minis ters were not allowed to perform the marriage ceremony till 1700 and when they did perform it the fee went to the local minister of the church of england to other dissenters qtia kers excepted this riyht was not con ceded before 1770 worst of all was the enforcement in north carolina of the schism act repealed in england in 1718 which prohibited any one from keeping a school in the provin ces unless he had obtained a certificate from the anglican authorities there is no doubt that the enforcement of this act up to tb period of the revo lutionary war through the widespread ignorance which it engendered is di rectly responsible for the large per centage of illiteracy and for the back wardness of intellectual activity char acteristic of the state to-day if the revolution really began in north carolina as the natives of that state contend it was because the peo ple were even more inflamed by a de sire lor religious freedom than by the wish for political independence the bill of rights and state constitution adopted by the provincial congress at halifax iu december 1776 asserted the natural and inalienable right of men to worship almighty god accord ing to the dictates ot their own con sciences h was further laid down that there should be no establishment of any one religious church or denom ination in the state of north carolina in preference to any other neither shall any person on any pretence be compelled to attend any place of wor ship contrary to his own faith or judg ment or

prominent farmer and who de ired to be postmaster at clayton hxd b*e arrested and taken to smithfield and placed in jail it appears that pool became angry because he did not get the appointment and made a plan to burn tbe town he had made threats to do this monday he spoke to a negro man hannibal smith and told him that he wanted him to set fire to the barns of messrs mcguliers lloney cutt howe and ellington and the livery stables of ellington & barber he made au arrangement with the negro to meet him later in the day and to then give the latter regular instruc tion the negro went to several peo ple and told them what pool had pro posed two uen mccullers and james hinton secreted themselves in pool's barn and overheard all he told the negro the plan was that smith hould take some balls of cotton satur ated with kerosene and throw them iuto the buildings referred to above pool was arrested and on his persoii were found the balls of cotton ready for use he was quickly taken to clayton and jailed after due commit by a magistrate feeling against him is quite high at clayton it is understood upon the further investigation of mr elling ton report it was ascertained that tlie facts that he stated were essentially correct and that pool's animosity was aroused by the position the citizens in question took against him in the post master fight the case involves clearly a question of law
