greet SO many of the sons and daugh-
ters OF your great state. North Caro-.

been high and honorable. 1t was in
North Carolina that the MeclSlenbure
i aeeiaration of Independence foreshad
owed the course taken in a few short
months by the representatives of the
lhirteen colonies assem- bled in Phila

structure of higher life, if the com

Senship which rests upon individual
rights and upon the recognition by
each individual that he has duties al
