SHLISH SUMMER FUR
SINCE first our sires stood oeside the stream, And fired the shot that echoed *round the world. Has come to pass the epoch of their dream When to the April breeze their flag unhirled.
TODAY, where floats the Stars and Stripes, we deem Each star defiance at the tyrant hurled; Each stripe a bar *gainst despots, too, would seem To interpose for human rights imperiled.
'T'ODAY, in foreign lands, the flag is flung ^ Against a crimson sky across the sea, Where battle's bane from out the land has wrung
Its dreadful toll. It promises to hee Each nation, and to number each among All peoples in a worldwide liberty. .

North Carolina Led Colonies in Freedom's Fight
Ir Is popularly .supposed that the Independence of the United Stntes beRnn on a Fourth of .July in Phil¬ adelphia, but down In the Old North .State is a t'oinniunity that threw off the British yoiie more thaa u year before the
Tumult In the city.
In tho quaint old Quaker town
annonneed the first jrenernl step t(5^ ward the freedom of the colonies.
In 1705 the IJrltlsli iiarllunient passed the stamp act. Wlien the first sloop of war arrived off Cape Fear from Ehk lantl oarrylnK stiunped paper the peo¬ ple terrorized the captain until he was afftiitl to laud his suilT, and then they captured the stamp odicor from tlie (lovenior a n d made the officer t;il{e ontli that li«> would not at¬ tempt to enf'irci' the use 1)1
stamps. A year later the stiinip act wa.s repealed. Hut North Card- Una had found tliat she liad a power when tlie people arose, and t ll e English crown was never asain sure of Its crouud In the col¬ ony.
The people as¬ serted the right of free ussem- blage after that, and the assump¬ tion led to numer¬ ous clashes with the governor un- til In May. 1771, tbe Kovernur, with soldiers, proceeded 'against a band uf men calllug them¬ selvea Regulators; und a few mllea north of Southern I'lnes a battle was fpugbt lu which more than 1(X) casual- tlea occurred ou both sld-;8. nearly two score being killed. This waa the first bloodshed Id the Revolution. The tn- JadtclouB governor, whose force was Tlctorlous, aroused fyrtlier hatred ou tbe part of tbe people by bangtug h number of hlw prisofiers. Herman Husbands, tbe leader of tbe Regula- ton. escaiMKl and went to flttsburgh. where he settled, dying later at PhlUi> delphia.

convention was held at Newbern In Au¬ gust, 1774. The meeting of the colonial "lesislature, which followed, practically endorsed the radical views of the con¬ vention, which was proclaimed by the governor to he anarchy. The result wns lliat the legislature wa.s dissolved and the governor took refuge on a ship of war In Cape Fear river.
In May, 177.'), the people of Mecklen¬ burg county had a convention, and they took occasion, nearly 14 months before the Declaration of Independence wns issued at Philadelphia, to say that— ¦••'-•"'«,, t,'
Ringing Declaration. -—-^
"We declare ourselves a free nnd independent people; are nnd of right ought to be a sovereign and indepen¬ dent .self-governing nasociation, under no power thnn thnt of our God and the generni" government of congress. To the mninte- nance of which in¬ dependence we _, solemnly pledge
J —-_ to each other our
"j J^^ mutual co-opera¬
tion, our lives, our fortunes and our mnst sncred honor."
The convention that ndopted such sturtlliiK resolu¬ tions of indepen¬ dence undertook to lay the founda¬ tion for a gpvern- nUMit for North Carolina until a Kuitable and sta¬ ble form could be provided by «:on- gress, and from that day the au¬ thority of the British crown was exhib¬ ited only during those few timoe when Cornwullis made his ventures with more or less varying succesa on the territory of the colony.
North Carolina was the first of the colonies to bave au Bngllsh settlement, tbe flrat to shed blood la the war for independence, and the first to give ut¬ terance in explicit form to that inde¬ pendence. Nor was the declaration of the people of Mecklenburg the sole manifestation of the sentiment in the matter. At F'ayettevllle,'°on Cape Fear river below Southern Fines, another Declaration of Inde|>eudence ante¬ dated that of l*hiladelplt|H. The peo¬ ple in CTumberlaud e«junty, of wbteh Fayettevllle Is tbe capital, issued tbair statement in June of 1775, ^asistlDi; that rettort to anus was Justified, and liledgiug each other to sacrltt<*e life aud fortune to the freedom and safety uf HD oppressed people. In April. 1T76, still before Ibe I'talladelphla l)e<-lsra- ttoo of Independeuc*«, the pruvlndsl coacrsta uf North ttaraltQiii apitoUrted
a committee to prepare a civil consti¬ tution, and it was done so well that the document served some 60 years as the organic law of the state. And so It was that North Carolina opened the road that led up to the creation of the most progressive nation on the face of the earth, and the one whose influence has done most for the advancement of mankind. ,. , ^ ,^ '^^
Some Tory Sentiment
All of this section of North Carolina was not enthu.sinstic In the Declaration of Independence. A portion of the set¬ tlers were ardent Tories—so ardent, in fact, that it was not until the war of 1812 thnt the Scotch of Cape Fear valley finally turned away absolutely from the royal standard.
The story Is one of singular misfor¬ tune. The Cnpe Fear valley was set¬ tled largely by the adherents of the Stuart family, wiiich met with 7 '^•^ . ' -^^' such disaster at 2 , Culloden that
.C~.|o/) III (I many of the fol¬ lowers of the Pre¬ tender were ban- islied to America for taking up arms against the British crown. Be¬ fore these people were permitted to sail they were sworn on a bind¬ ing oath to be loyal henceforth to tbe English king. When the settlers around them in North Carolina were ris¬ ing agaiast the declaring Indepen¬ dence, refusing; to pay stamp taxes, making new constitutions and flghtInK against the king, the Scotch settlers were in arms under the British flag. Their oath and their hitter experience before migrating to America prompteil them to keep away from any further rebellious acts.

TO MAKE NEGLIGEE AND CAP
Dainty Wearables Can Be Made With Sipati Amount of Material, Fash- Ion Writer States.
There is somethlnR particularly at¬ tractive about n thing thnt isslmplep to make, according to a fashion critic. Then when it turns out a confection, too, it becomes an absolute Joy for¬ ever. Just such a thing Is the boudoir cap mnde from a perfect square of material. It Is one of those fascinat¬ ing Arabian models with long soft folds falling well to the shoulder and forming an attractive though maybe a bit severe frame for the face.
All you have to do to nclileve it is to take the square of silk or lace or whatever else you are going to use, fold It diagonally or cornerwise, place it on the center of the head so that the four points of the hankie fall equi¬ distant from the center. Now elimi¬ nate the front point altogether by first cutting out an oval the shape of the face and continuing the lino down alongside the head. The cap is kept in place with a bright band of ribbon drawn across the forehead bended through the cap and fastened com¬ fortably tight in back. One of those brillinnt Japanese or Chinese hankies is Ideal for the purpose.
How about n new short summer negligee from a yard and n half of material? You can do It, too. If you choose your material "on the square." You see. It hns to be 54 by 54. Begin hy cutting out quite a deep square back and front for tho neck, which will, ^f course, be directly in the cen¬ ter of the squnire. Now simply pull the square over the head, being sure to have the two sides fall in half across the extended arms. Then seam the lower sides to form the sleeve simulations. The rest of the negligee hangs quite loose. If you would fur¬ ther elaborate it, out out a deep square on each sleeve Just below the shoulder. These are strapped with three cords, either ribbon or a metal¬ lic fabric. You may make like in¬ cisions on the front and back of the garment, too, and strap them also.

Qraeno's Memory Worthy of Honor. | Next to Washington, Matbaua«l ^ Greene was the most potent force iu our struggle for national independence. He was born un May 27, 1742, lu a lit¬ tle faruibouse iu Rhode Island. His boyhood waa spent like that of tbe uttter youth ot the uelgbburiiood. Prol»> ably it was a llttlo less exciting, for ids father was a strict Quaker aad pastor vf a cttun'b at Bast Greenwich. He was also a "captain of industry" ut that period.
