NORTH COROLINA HISTORY.
Some Facts Not Well Known Outside
The State.
New York Herald

The people of North Carolina have
been unfortunate in some respects.
They have been but little addicted to
boasting OF their achievements.
While other States have been con-
spicuous on gala days and in the
historical records of the past the
people of North Carolina have, for
two hundred years, been making
history without seeking to blazon
forth their deeds to the world. Mr..
Bancroft, whose duties led him to
investigate the facts of North Caro-
lina's history, has recognized much
that the people of this State have ac-
complished in the cause of human
freedom and in the vindication of
rights ever held dear by free-born
citizens, and has, in his immortal
pages, chronicled some of the events
that mark the advance of North
Carolina upon the highway of civil
liberty and religious development.
But, unfortunately, the people in
this State have been so isolated from
the great centres, have had SO little
communication with the outside
world, have been so destitute of
those channels of intercourse that be-
long to more favored sections, that
the great, important and unquestion-
ed facts of their history are unknown
to the people of other States. While
the skirmishes of the New England
States are known and read of all
men events of earlier and of quite as
significant character that happened
in North Carolina are only known to
gentlemen beyond its borders, who,
like the late Colonel Peter Force, of
Washington. Mr.. Bancroft, President
yelling and few others are fond Of
historical investigation or have been
led by some circumstance to explore
some of the partially known histor-
ical territory that belongs to this
people. In view of these facts in be-
comes an interesting question what
North Carolina claims and what can
be established beyond all cavil or
question? Briefly thus:
That the first Englishman who
ever planted foot on the American
continent landed on Roanoke Island
| in the month OF July, 1904.
That the first child born of English
| parents on American soil was Vir-
| ginia Dare, who was born on ROa-
noke Island, in 1886. after whom the
county of Dare is named.
J That the first resistance to the
stamp act was at Wilmington. n. c.,
in 1865.
That the first blood that was ever
drawn in the defence of the peoples
rights and in resistance of tyranny,
was at Alamance, on May, 16, 1771
That the first meeting that was
ever held in any of the colonies tc
declare separation from the British
command to organize for armed
resistance, was in North Carolina il
the county of Mecklenburg, in thu
month of May. 1775-nearly tifteer
months before the national declara
ton.

THE LAND WHERE OUR DREAMS COME
TRUE.


EMMA ALICE BROWN. IN TACOMA LEDGER.
Far over some midst hi hidden river,
And under wonderful sky,
Where the rain never blOts out the sunshine
And our loves never weary or die;
Where the flowers never fade-but in
changing
Their magical sweetness renew,
Lies glOrified realm of enchantment,
The land where our dreams come true!
By mystical symbols and tokens
We know OF that beautiful land;
But. alas! on the threshold of manhood
The frail clew slipt out of our hand!
And the wild river wanders between US,
And the white gates are hidden from
view.
And only in sleep we remember
The land where our dreams come true!
We shall find the lost treasures we seek
for
Revealed in that wonderful sphere;
All the aims and the dreams of the by gone,
All the good that eluded us here;
The innocent faiths of our childhood,
1he one fiawless friendship we knew,
Arrayed in our vanished illusions,
In the land where our dreams come true!
We know, in divinest fulfllment,
Our vain hopes are gathered at home;
The jewels we mourn here are boarded
Where the moth and the rust cannot come
And oft, when the sunset is fairest
We catch, through rift in the blue,
A far-away glimpse OF the glOries
OF the land where our dreams come true
There are garnered the prayers Of ouI
mothers,
And the soft cradle songs that they sung
There they move in the midst, with white
garments,
And faces Immortality young!
And out Of the midst of the river
Their sweet hands shall reach US the elew
That leads, through the Valley of Shadow
10 the lands where our dreams come true
| So, weeping. we lay down our idols,
And bury our loves out OF sight.
| Though we know, in our hearts, we shall
find them
By and by, in the Mansions of Light;
| And the salt tears that fall on their ashes
And blossom in pansy and rue,
| Over there shall be lilies immortal,
In the land where our dreams come true
