THE FIRST TO DEFY
,eM BIRTHPLACE OF AMERICAN
FREEDOM.
=, title Town of Charlotte, North
Carolina, in May, 1775, Convention
Assembled to Declare for In
Deepen ience.


North Carolina stands the little town
Of Charlotte. To-day it looks sleepy,
and peaceful and II iiet, but in colon
ia1 times it was perhaps the liveliest
Mace in the old north state Indeed,
of least one of his most gracious mai
estv's officers referred to it as the
hornets nest of America. This cpl
thet. born of baff1ed wrath, was not
misapplied, says Harper's Weekly. Al
most from it's first settlement by the
sturdy Scotch who emigrated thither
early in the eighteenth century. from
their native land or from temporary
abiding-place in the north of Ireland,
Mecklenberg county, of which Char
Iotte is the center, was famed as the
habitat of irreconcilables. The early
annals of North Carolina bear album
dant testimony to the temper and
spirit of the men of Meclslenburg, and
as the years passed and the British
woke became more and more unbear-.
able, nowhere was disloyalty more
openly voiced than among the glades
and hills of this charming region. If
it be true of the rest of the country
that the prevailing sentiment in the
period Immediately preceding the rev.
olution was for an amicable settle
ment of the difficulties with Great
Britain it would SEEM certain that
in Mecklenburg at least, there was
a well-defined opinion in favor of re-
pudiating allegiance, cutting loose en-
tirely from the motherland, and enter
ing upon career of Independent ma
tionality. This opinion, if the claims
of the Mecklenburgians and their de-
scendants are to be accepted, cul-
minated in May, 1775, in the adoption.
by regularly elected delegates to a
county convention, of bold and war
like declaration of independence, set
ting forth the wrongs under which
the colonies we've laboring, and in no
uncertain terms asserting that I'VE do
hereby declare ourselves free and
independent people; that we are, and
of right ought to be, a. sovereign and
self-governing people under the power
of God and the general congress; to
the maintenance of which independ-
ence we solemnly pledge to each other
our mutual cooperation, our lives, our
fortunes, and our most sacred honor"
AS the story goes, the convention
was the outcome of several earlier
meetings of the leading spirits of
the county, held for the purpose of
ascertaining the attitude of the inhabi-
tants with respect to the claim of par
hament to tax the colonies and other
wise regulate their internal affairs
90 soon as 1t was learned that open
opposition to the home authorities
would receive popular support, Thorn
as Polk, the colonel commandment OF
the county, issued an order to each
militia captain directing him to call

Oh TWO delegates to a county conven
uon. This was done, and on May 10

courthouse at Charlotte.

and haystacks of conventional size were
scattered about; one corner of the lawn
was a pasture, where two oxen, fresh
from Rhode Island farm, quietly
grazed. The house itself was stored
with products of the soil; agricultural
implements that had been in daily use
decorated the rooms, Mrs. Fish. repre-
senting the goddess of agriculture, re-
ceived her guests on a dais of plows,
reapers, cultivators and what not. The
broad piazza was made into grape ar
Dor. the living vines bearing luscious
clusters of fruit; the flower beds and
the stone wall were planted with the
kinds Of wild flowers that are to be
found in every countryside.
To obtain the harvest effect desired
Mrs. Fish bought up a goodly portion
of the crops of small Rhode Island
farm; and its owner also made a second
pretty penny by placing the sheaves of
wheat, the haystacks, the shocks of corn
and other things in traditional manner.

a lake, on which little yachts steamed
and in which fish darted, AT her um-
brella dinner each guest sat under as
costly and rare an umbrella as patient
search on her part and money could Sc
cure. At her peace ball. which repro
duced the famous one held at Mt. Yer
non in 17So, she filled her Newport
house with furniture and decorations of
the period, spending thousands OF dol
lars to give the affair as correct a set
ting as possible.
As result OF her work in connection
with the ball. Mrs. Fish is recognized
authority on the peace ball and entertain
ment and other things colonial She
spent weeks in studying up on the sub
iect before she began actual work on
the ball; her thoroughness in this mat
ter is but indicative of her thoroughness
in all things. Therefore, her days are
crowded with work.
As critic of the Newport set Mrs.
Fish is certainly thorough going
refreshing. Probably no orc outside the
charmed circle of the Four Hundred
has spoken or written harsher things
about it. She says that the Newport
folk are uniformly stupid" She
ascribes little or no brains to not few
and generally and specifically she de-
clares that they are TOO crazy about
dukes and such things" Her structures

Il like her earnes. look" she added, a
moment later; please call her to me"
Then, when the young woman had come
up, Mrs. Fish said:
"You are to continue here until YOU
are ready to take step upward, and
remember, under no condition are you
to give up your studies until you are
fully equipped for your work"
With that she swept out of the class
room and on her way to social func-
ton, and had not the man informed the
stupcfied and shaking student who her
bencfactor was she would probably have
remained ignorant of her identity to this
day, the necessary funds for her art edu-

cation being supplied through the man
who quite incidentally brought the
young woman's case to the attention of
Mrs. Fish.
A rather daring and out-of-the-ordi-
nary way of engaging in philanthropic
work, but in her social life she is even
more daring and ingenious.
Recently she set the tongues of the
country's gossips to wagging when it
was announced that she was to give a
dinner at which the guests were to ap-
pear in bathing suits. Newport has it
tha, before the season is finally over she
is expected to give yaching- -party-in-
doors entertainment, at which, it is
whispered, the guests will be received,

There is her city house in Scventy-eighth

Mrs. Astor is the Reputed Head.
but it is Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish
who Entertains Most Lavishly,
Introduces the Novelties and
Spends the Most Money.

To come to the point a, once: For all
that Mrs. Astor is the recognized head
of the famous -Four Hundred" Mrs.
Stuyvesant Fish, of Newport. New York
and the -Four Hundred" is Americas
leading society parsonage.
She has spent a bigger fortune on So
eisl entertainments than any other wo-
man OF her day and generation, probably
than any other woman who has lived in
America.
She was one of the summer pioneers
Mt Newport, and her social life there
has helped most powerfully 70 make that
hot Sea,her city by the sea famed on
two continents.
She Is the most consistent, most rcgu-
lar entertainer in this country Mrs
Astor gives one or two big functions in
the course OF twelve month; Mrs.
S;uyyesant Fish docs not average less
than half dozen year, and her small
dinners, receptions and other lesser en-
tertainmenis are several times more mum
erous than the weeks. No other member of
the socially elect is so much the hostess.
and but few Of the titled social lights OF
Europe, where entertainment is more
heavily gone in for than here, can equal
her record OF functions, big and little, OF
the past ten or fifteen years.
The various epochal steps in her So
cial career are marked by the most ex-
traordinary entertainments, embracing,
as the alliterative circus press agen,
would put it, startling. stupcndous,
supplying, stunning innovations.
"Only Mrs. Fish would dare to do
such a thing" is stock comment by
her associates.
In brief, it may be said that It was
she who set the style of entertainment
and amusement that has been in vogue
among the millionaire and multimillion-
aire social dcvotees of recent years. and
us of little money, too. The eakewalk.
rymhkana races, society vaudeville, pri-
va,e theatricals by professionals on an
elaborate scale, costume and synbolieal
dances, and festivals on scale even
more magnificent, and true TO times past
to the slightest detail; the engagement
of the worlds most noted and high
cst-priced song-birds for an afternoon or
evening of music--all these widely
copied features of present day big IS
society amusement she either planned
on, and introduced, adapted TO her uses,
or was instrumental in giving them their
popularity
Mrs. Fish is, in truth, the genius
one may almost say, the brains-of the
-Four Hundred" And, strange as 1t
may seem, she is one of its bitterest
critics
She Is easily the busiest society de-
voice in the country, and yet for all her
ramifying interests in this butterfly sort
of existence she somehow finds great
deal of time to devote to charitable and
philanthropic work. This, however. does
not attract the attention that her un-
usual modes of entertaining do. and nat
urally, so that Mrs. Fish could be easily
misjudged by one not familiar with her
except on her social side.
Society counts her one OF its most
open.hmded members. Many = young
woman, now aafeiy launched on busi-
ness career, owes her start to Mrs. Fish.
She 10 pastieularly keen to hep young

money to secure them the necessary COW
c,ed education. Her fondncss for grand
opera and classical music in general has
led her to be the good fairy to quite a
number of girls ambitious to become
prima donnas in time.
A story is told of her way of carrying
good messages TO those hoping against
hope.
1t seems that well known painter of
portraits was commissioned to paint
Mrs. Fish. At a sitting the conversation
turned on art students, and this led the
artist to tell of certain young woman
in one of his classes who was making
exceptional progress, who seemed to
have what is known among the profess
sion as the divine fire, but who was
soon to lay down her brush and palette
for the stenographer's pencil because of
lack of funds. But" added the speaker,
mark my words, she'll be back in the
class as soon as she has managed to rake
and scrapc together enough money to
give her another course Of instruction"
Two nights later Mrs. Fish. unaccom-
panied. unexpectedly appeared before the
portrait painter As he was busy in the
class room.
'show ma the student you were telling
me Of ths other day." she commanded.
