Abstract:
\"Ecce Homo\" means \"Behold the Man\" and a painting entitled Ecce Homo captured a portrait of Christ and hangs in St. James Episcopal Church in Wilmington. Its arrival in Wilmington involved a classic swashbuckling tale. The portrait was reported to be stolen from a Spanish pirate vessel in 1747 when the pirates attempted an attack on Brunswick along the Cape Fear River but lost and one of their four ships sunk. Colonists retrieved goods, including the portrait, from on of the abandoned vessels for use in Brunswick and Wilmington churches.

Abstract:
Omar ibn Said, called Moreau in this article, was an Arabian prince who was captured by a hostile tribe and cast into slavery. Sold to a slave trader in Africa, he was shipped to Charleston, SC, where he was purchased by a man who treated him cruelly. The Price escaped and made his way to Fayetteville, NC, where he was captured. Through the local sheriff's contact, Governor John Owen of North Carolina became interested in him and bought him from his former owner. Though the Governor offered him his freedom, the Prince chose to remain in his household the rest of his life, rather than return home.

Author(s):
Abstract:
The original boundary line between North and South Carolina, established more than two centuries ago, was clearly proved in recent years by a stately pine tree whose age is found to exceed 350 years. And if it weren't for this tree, chances are the states would still be squabbling over the location of the state line.

In this article, the author introduces readers to a devout man of the cloth, as well as a devote man to the South. Reverend A. A. Watson, of Wilmington, showed his loyalties to the Southern cause when he refused to cease praying to Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Union forces had occupied Wilmington beginning January 15, 1865 after the fall of Fort Fisher. Though defeated militarily, a few staunch Southern supporters still showed their faithfulness to the South by denying Abraham Lincoln's presidency.
