the sooner it is done away with tho better
1t will be for all persons concerned To the

was a precursor of what followed in
the Continental Congress fourteen
months later, both as to the fact and
the patriotic language of the two
instruments.
1t is true that year after year this
memorable event is appropriately
celebrated by Charlotte and Mecklen
burg county, and it is to the credit
of those people that this is SO, but
this rich heritage, which marks North
Carolina as the birthplace of Ameri-
can liberty, belongs not alone to
Mecklenburg county, but is the COM
mon Inheritance of every true son of
the State, and from the mountains
to the seashore this anniversary
should be properly observed, for in
what better or more impressive way
can we teach the young of the vital
part that our forefathers took in
forming the foundation for the
grandest Republic that ever had a
place among the nations OF the
earth?
Let us show our appreciation of
the heroism and patriotism of the
States liberty-loving sons in the
dark days of the revolution by COM
memorating yearly thegreat historic
fact of the Mecklenl urg Declaration
of Independence.

A NOBLE SUGGESTION.

The graves of the Confederate
soldiers in our cemetery should be
marked in some way, either by a
headstone for each grave or a monu-
ment for all. Indeed, it would be
even better to provide both. The
ladies of the Memorial Association
have a small sum in their treasury
about fifteen dollars, and they pro-
pose that this shall be a nucleus for
a monument fund. In many places,
probably in most places, in the
South, as well as in some places in
the North, where numbers of Confed-
crate soldiers are buried, the spots
are marked by marble shafts. Wins
ton-Salem should be numbered with
the places that thus honor the
memory of our fallen heroes.
In making this contribution to the
monument fund, the ladies have
made noble suggestion-one which
should elicit q prompt response from
our people. So prompt, indeed, that
the unwilling exercises should occur
upon the next Memorial Day.
The SENTINEL will be pleased to
receive and acknowledge contribu-
tions to this fund, or in any other
way assist in promoting the worthy
purpose which these patriotic ladies
have instituted.
