Law book, “Cases Argued and Determined in The Supreme Court of North Carolina. September Term, 1893.” Reported by Robert T. Gray, Raleigh NC, 1894, includes several cases, including “James R. Hare v. The Board of Education of Gates County. Admission to Schools - White and Colored Children - Prohibited Degrees - Negro Blood- Evidence” which reads in part: The statute....relating to the admission of children into white or colored schools provides that the rule laid down in section 1810 of The Code, regulating marriages, shall be followed. By said section The Code the intermarriage of whites with persons who are not beyond the third or in the fourth generation from the pure negro ancestor is prohibited. Therefore, a child whose great-grandparent was a negro of full blood is not entitled to admission into a school for whites....Where, in the trial of an action for a mandamus to compel a school committee to admit a child into a school for whites, it became material to ascertain whether the grandfather of a child was a negro or white man, testimony was admissable to show that the grandmother of the child was living with a negro about nine months before the birth of the childs father...While in doubtful cases only an expert would be qualified to testify, from the appearnace of a person, as to the exact proportions in which white and negro blood are intermingled in his veins, it is competent to show, by other than expert testimony and by the appearance of a person, his color and other physical qualities, that such person’s parent was negro of full blood...” Spine damage, else VG.
