Excerpt from State Normal Magazine, Vol. 15: October, 1910
The islands and towns unfrequented by the common herd of tourists are the most delightful places on the Southern Route from America to Europe. If you go that way be sure to stop at Madeira and Algiers. We enjoyed them as much as any place in Europe.
When we woke up one morning and found ourselves lying off Funchal you can imagine how excited we were. For six whole days there had been only the Open sea to greet our eyes; and the foreign scene was forgotten in the greater joy of being so near land again. Then the quaintness of the land scape dawned upon us. Against the clearest, deepest, most intense blue sky was outlined a mountain peak, not bare and rugged, but covered with verdure. At the foot of the mountain nestled the daintiest little town imaginable. Never a dark or sombre color was visible against the cool green of the mountain side. The whole town was a riot of color - here a house of pale pink and beside it one of sky blue with buff trimmings. Such rainbow tints were everywhere save in the heart of town where the gray stone fort and governor's mansion dominated the surroundings. This was the Madeira of our dreams!
When we finally calmed down enough to buy Reid 's Shore Excursion tickets, the boats were already coming out to take us ashore. They were tiny rowboats that drew up alongside of the ship 's ladder and the jump necessary to reach them did not look inviting to the timid. All did get off, how ever, and the ocean swells were not so dreadful at close range.
A row of ten minutes brought us out of the ocean and across the harbor to a very shaky-looking wooden pier.
Upon alighting we were met by white-clad guides who led us through the crowds of curious natives to our convey auces. These proved to be sleds drawn by bullocks. The sled was more like one of our carryalls with a white canopy over it and runners, instead of wheels, attached than anything else - and the bullocks! Imagine two of our largest steers.

Excerpt from State Normal Magazine, Vol. 15: October, 1910
Cornelia Ann Phillips, the youngest child of James and Julia Phillips, was born in Harlem, New York, March 20, 1825. In May, 1826, while yet an infant in arms, she was brought by her parents to Chapel Hill, N. C., at which place she continued to reside during the greater part of her long and useful life. Her father, a man of great intellectual power, was, for forty-one years. Professor of Mathematics in the University of North Carolina. Her two brothers. Dr. Charles Phillips and Dr. Samuel F. Phillips, were also professors in the same institution.
Like her brothers, Cornelia was indebted to her mother for her earlier instruction. Later she kept abreast of her brothers in the classical course of the University by studying with them, and under the instruction of her father. In keenness of intellect, in force and vigor of understanding, and in scholarly attainments she was, perhaps, not one whit inferior to the male members of her distinguished family. Indeed, if we are to accept the testimony of her contemporaries - and it is the testimony of able and conservative men - this modest and unassuming woman gave the state the most eminently useful mind ever dedicated to its service.
In 1853, Cornelia Phillips was happily married to James Spencer. With him she settled in Clinton, Alabama, where she remained until his death in 1861.
