convention was held at Newbern in Au-
gust, 1774. The meeting Of the colonial
legislature, which followed, practically
endorsed the radical views Of the con-
v%ention, which was proclaimed by the
governor to be anarchy. The result was
that the legislature was dissolved and
the governor took refuge on a ship Of
war in Cape Fear river.
In May, 1775, the people Of Mecklen-
burg county had a convention, and
they took occasion, nearly IA months
before the Declaration of Independence
was issued at Philadelphia, to say
that
Ringing Declaration.
"We declare ourselves a free and
Independent people; are and Of right

dent self-governing association, under

CORVALLIS made his ventures with
more or less varying success on the
territory Of the colony.
North Carolina was the first Of the
colonies to have an English settlement,
the first to shed blood in the war for
independence, and the first to give ut
terance in explicit form to that indie
pendence. Nor was the declaration Of
the people Of Mecklenburg the sole
manifestation of the sentiment in the
matter. At Fayetteville, on Cape Fear
river below Southern Pines, another
Declaration of independence ante
dated that Of Philadelphia. The peo-
pie in Cumberland county, Of which
Fayetteville Is the capital, issued their
statement in June Of 1875, insisting
that resort to arms was justified, and
pledging each other to sacrifice life
and fortune to the freedom and safety
Of an oppressed people. In April, 1910,
still before the Philadelphia Declara-

congress Of North Carolina appointed

Greene was the most potent force in

He was born on May %, 1742, in a lit

ably it was a little less exciting, for
his father was a strict Quaker and

MEXICAN MATCH A CURIOSITY
Is Made Of Short Piece of Cotton
String, With Head at
Each End.

The Mexican friction match, from
our point of view, is curiosity. For
one thing, it is not made of wood, but
is short piece of cotton string. Sec
ondly. it has two heads.
There is an undeniable advantage
about match with two heads. If one
fails to light there is another in re-
serve. But the Mexican matches. TO
do them justice, rarely go out. One
can strike them successfully in fair
breeze.
This is because the cotton string Is
coated with wax. In Mexico there are
factories in which such matches are
turned out by ingenious machines. but
billions of them are made by hand in
laborious fashion, the strings being
tipped with phosphorus composition
by girls and boys, whose wages are a
few cents day.
One match in Mexico is really two
matches. Thus, when the native starts
a fire or lights cigarette with fresh
one, he tucks the string back into his
pocket for use next time.

WOMEN SUFFERERS MAY

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or

Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition; nervousness, are often times symp
toms of kidney trouble.

such conditions.
