Referring TO a speech OF Mr.. Geo.
Dayis In 1855 deprecating the want OF
material for a history OF the Cape Fear.
said that this appeal has done much TO
arouse the sons of the Cape Fear to
greater eXertion to pluck away the
MOSES upon tombs of our iIlustrious
dead. He attributed much credit for res
u from oblivion of the history OF the
section TO Colonel A. NJ. Waddel. DIR.
Edwin a. Alderman and Mr.. James
Sprunt.
He spoke of the social and domestic
life Of the Cape Fear, their hospitality.
their homes, elegant and rich
and rare concentrations, and their mar
rying, all of which has all been told by
Mr.. Davis who describes them as
gentlemen of birth and education, bred
In the refinement of polished society,
ample fortunes, gentle and
cultivated minds united by ties of blood.
they were as one household" He nam
ed many of those who settled here but
the list is too long to enGmerate. A
just tribute was paid to those men
who loved and upheld constitutional lib
erty and gave up their lives for il. He
quotes the great Librarian, Bancroft, az
saying In history ARE there any who
doubt mans capacity for self govern
ment. let him study the history of
North Carolina" The men of the old
Cape Fear were among the foremost
in resisting the tyranny OF the home
government and in resisting taxation
without representation.
The events leading up to the revolu-
ton and the struggles for chartered
rights and liberty were touched upon
at length and most interestingly. But
1T is not we'll to endeavor to give a
synopsis of this Interesting address
which should be read in full to be thor
oughly appreciated.
The address being over, the call for
lncheon was given, II soon a happy
crowd Of two hundred maids, matrons.
men n youths were satisfying their
hunger from generously filled tables.
Near two hours were then spent in
wandering through the woods, examin
ing the fort and in general amusement.
1t may we'll be noted here that the
site of the town OF Brunswick was
sheIled vigorously by the federal feet
in early February 1865. but not one
shot struck old st. Philips. 1t is q
tradition that during the evolutionary
war an English ship came up the river
anchored off the town n shelfed It
one shot striking the wall of the church
and the broken bricks on the eastern
wall clearly justifies one in crediting
the tradition.
The whistle of the steamer was heard
and without accident or harm to mar
the enjoyment Of the day, all were
soon on board and back on the way to
the city. There were on board about
twenty-five members of the society of
Colonial Danes, and to them were the
thanks all expressed for a most charm
ing outing. All praise is due these
| splendid women for their noble work

| tablish the truths Of history.

chise to the Southern Bell Telephone
Company. Debate on the question last
ed for more than two hours, during
which time each member of the board
and a number of citizens who were
present talked freely about the matter.
Some of the board were in favor o.
granting a franchise for a long distance
line only, while others were in favor Of
granting a franchise for both a local
and a long distance line. The local
part provoked the discussion. 1t was
proved by some that it would be 4
double cost to phone subscribers, who
would have to have both systems in Or
der to make the service complete. 1t
was finally decided to grant a franchise
for both local and long distance ines
with the understanding hat the long
distance line be completed within ninety
day and the local exchange be put in
within two years.
