Abstract:
This article examines the political quarrel between North Carolina congressman George Henry White, the only black member of Congress in 1900, and Josephus Daniels, the editor of the Raleigh 'News and Observer.' White and Daniels feuded over White's efforts to promote racial equality and introduction of a federal anti-lynching law, all of which Daniels opposed. White did not run for reelection to the House of Representatives, retired from politics, and relocated to the North because of Daniels campaign against him through the newspaper.

Abstract:
North Carolina native Josephus Daniels became Secretary of the Navy in 1913 under Woodrow Wilson's administration. While Secretary, Daniels took on the steel industry which provided steel to armor Navy battleships at high prices. To encourage competitive prices, Daniels backed a government-owned armor plant which was authorized by Congress but never constructed. Though his threat lowered prices, Daniels never grasped the situation the companies were in where the government was virtually the only market and competition was meaningless.

Abstract:
Josephus Daniels had a long and busy life combining several successful careers. Mostly known as the owner-editor of the Raleigh NEWS and OBSERVER, Daniels was also an influential spokesman for the Democratic National Committee. Less well known is that Daniels was twice urged to run for high office, first governor then US senator; however, he did not yield in either case as he did not want the NEWS and OBSERVER to be a herald for his own agenda.

Abstract:
This article looks at the need and advocacy for constitutional reform in North Carolina. Despite progressive legislation in much of the country, the North Carolina legislature resisted government reform until the 1910s. Through the efforts of activist historians Joseph G. de Roulhac Hamilton and Enoch W. Sikes, as well as a number of progressive-minded people such as Josephus Daniels, legislators began addressing reform by 1910 and proposing constitutional amendments by 1913.

Abstract:
The Sixty-fifth Congress was called to order on April 2, 1917, and adjourned on March 4, 1919. During those two years the United States played a pivotal role in winning World War I, experienced the difficulties of a wartime economy, and faced a multitude of domestic and international problems. During these two years the state's congressional delegation wielded pronounced influence in national affairs, and a North Carolina editor, Josephus Daniels, served with distinction in the Wilson Cabinet as Secretary of the Navy. Grant provides a brief sketch of each of these individuals.

Abstract:
The politics of school funding during this time involved many contenting forces: black versus white; rural versus urban; six month school year versus nine; special and charter districts versus city and county. Legislation proposed included a luxury tax, the MacLean Bill, and a revenue bill. While not considered by some the fairest solution, the 1933 school bill that generated a sales tax, state control over the school system, and a uniform eight month school year was declared the sanest.
