ORIGIN OF TAR HEEL.

The Bureau of Extension of the Uni
verisity recently received a request for
Information concerning the origin of
the expression Tar Heel This re-
quest was referred to DR.. Kemp Plum
mer Battle, of the Glass of 1849. He
wrote in reply as follows: y
In the early years of the Civil War
about January, 1862, some negroes in
Mississippi were playing a game in
which a copper cent was placed in the
middle of a ring. Each danced up to
it and if he could pick it up with his
foot and dance with it out of the ring,
he could have it. A darkey won it SO
often that the crowd became SUSPECT
Gus and one shouted dat niger has
got tar OF his heelS!" He was search
ed, and there was the tar.
The story went through the South
ern newspapers, and the Virginia sol
dleTs called the North Carolina sol
diers Tar Heels, on account of the old
Biographies stating that North Carroll
I'D vas noted for producing tar, pitch
and turpentine."
- The North Carolina boys took it
good humoredly and declared that the
Virginia boys would run away in a
fight, but that North Carolina soldiers
would stick firmly, because they had
tar on their heels. Hence they were
nicknamed Tar Heels.

sEcRET OF WILSON POpULARITY
washington Post.)

Il think ! have discovered the Sc
cret of President Wilson's strength
said Representative Clement Brum-
baugh of the Columbus (ohio) district
in recounting to a group of friends
some of the incidents of President
Wilson's recent trip to Ohio.
mo President in the history of the
country ever had a greater hold on
the masses, and it is because he in
terprets with unfailing accuracy their
wishes and aspirations. He translates
into action just those things the people
would have him do.
81 had a splendid opportunity to
learn what the people think of the
President during his recent visit to
Columbus. Fol hours [ stood by his
side while thousands passed by in
what seemed to be a never-ending line.
When the time came to end the recep-
ton according to schedule, thousands
were waiting to shake his hand n ne
readily consented to, continue the re
ception half an hour. When he hail
hour expired they were still coming IN
droves and he prolonged the recep-
ton again and again until evening
came and he was obliged to quit in or
der to fill his night speaking engage
mont. At the time 5000 or 1000 were
waiting and it looked as if they would
have kept coming all night.
CAS- l stood by his side where /
heard every word that was said 1 was
impressed deeply by the repeated evil
dences of the hold he has on the af-
fections of the people. Time after
time-1iterally hundreds of times-I
heard such expressions as God bless
yCu, Mr.. President, we're at peace;
Thank God, Mr.. President, you have
kept us out of war etc! Old, gray
haired mothers would thank him for
keeping their boys at home, and vet
Grams, who knew what war meant
would remark, as they grasped his
hand: We're with you, Mr.. President ,
We don't want war; Over and over
again, times without number, I heard
the President commended by persons
whose words anne straight from their
hearts. 1t was a touching spectacle
and now I think I know the secret OF
why the President is so close to the
I people" Is 49,

THINGS OF LONG AGO,

Editor Hustler:
The world today is full of authors
and writer's on all the subjects imagin-
able. If one takes time to think seri-
Cusly all the things he reads about,
he will almost be forced to the con-
clusion, that humanity, taken as
whole, has about reduced itself to
what might be called a medley Of
strange contradictions.
We Americans, and that will include
cur Henderson County folks, being the
greatest boosters of freedom, (Which
really is a fact) of any nation on
earth, do more moral teaching, than
any other country in the world, con-
sidering the small effect the same is
having on the generations now in the
sweep. Others think that in me
ton with the joyness of the automo-
bile, the moving picture hilarltleS,
with some other artistic accomplish
ments, have caused our moral teach
ings to become of none effect and both
spiritually and morality, to become as
though they were with the dead.
