convention was held at Newbern in Au-
gust, 1874. The meeting of the colonial
legislature, which followed, practically
endorsed the radical views of the con-
vention, which was proclaimed by the
governor to be anarchy. The result was
that the legislature was dissolved and
the governor took refuge on ship of
war in Cape Fear river.
In May, 1875, the people of Mecklen-
burg county had convention, and
they took occasion, nearly IA months
before the Declaration of Independence
was issued at Philadelphia, to say

thOrity of the British crown was exhib-
tied only during those few times when
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, 17T6,
still before the Philadelphia Declara-
ton of Independence, the provincial
congress of North Carolina appointed

CHAPTER xvI-continued.

81 came out with the first expedi-
tionary force, and, like all the rest,
thought we would have the enemy
licked in Jig time, and be able to eat
Christmas dinner at home. Well, so
far, have eaten. two Christmas din
ners in the trenches, and am liable to
eat two more, the way things are
pointing. That is, If Fritz don't drop
a withholding on me, and send me to
Blighty. Sometimes I wish / would

we send over five shells to their one.
We are getting our own back, but in
the early days it was different. Then
you had to take everything without
reply. In fact, we would get twenty
shells in return for every one we sent
over. Fritz seemed to enjoy it, but
we British didn't; we were the suf-
ferers. Just one casualty after an
other. Sometimes whole platoons
would disappear, especially when a
Jack Johnson plunked into their
middle. 1t got so bad that a fellow,
when writing home, wouldn't ask for
any cigarettes to be sent out, because
he was afraid he wouldn't be there to
receive them.
"After the drive to Paris was turned
back, trench warfare started. Our
general grabbed map, drew pencil
across it, and said. Dig here Then
he went back to his tea. and Tommy
armed himself with a pick and shovel
and started digging. He's been dig
gihg ever since.
"Of course we dug those trenches at
night, but 1t was hot work, what with
che rifle and machine-gun fire. The
cstretcher bearers worked harder than
the diggers.
"Those trenches. bloomin' bitches, I
call them, were nightmares. They were
only about five feet deep, and you used
to get the backache from bending
down. 1t wasn't exactly safe to stand
upright, either, because as soon as
your napper showed over the top a
bullet would bounce off it, or else come
so close it would make your hair stand.
: eve used to fill sandbags and stick
them on top of the parapet to make it
higher, but no use; they would be
there about an hour and then Fritz
would turn loose and blow them to
bits. My neck used to be sore from
slucking shells and bullets.
"Where my battery was stationed a
hasty trench had been dug, which
the boys nicknamed Suicide ditch,
and. believe me, Yank. this was the
original Suicide ditch All the others
are limitations.
'When a fellow went into that
trench it was an even gamble that he
would come out on q stretcher. At one
time Scotch battalion held it, and
when they heard the betting was even
anoney that they'd come out on
stretchers. they grabbed all the bets

eral of the battery men fell for their

game, and put up real money. The
Jocks suffered lot of casualties, and
the prospects looked bright for the
battery men to collect some easy
money. So when the battalion was re-
lieved the gamblers lined up. Several
Jocks got their money for emerging
safely, but the ones who clicked it
weren't there to pay. The artillery
men had never thought 1t out that
way. Those Scotties were bound to
be sure winners, no matter how the
wind blew. So take a tip from me,
never bet with Scottie, cause you'll
lose money.
"At one part of our trench where
a communication trench joined the
front line Tommy had stuck up a
wooden signpost with three hands or
arms on it. One of the hands, point
ing to the German lines, read, TO Ber-
linz the one pointing down the com.
munication trench read, 'To Blighty,'
while the other said, Suicide Ditch,
Change Here for Stretchers.'
Farther down from this guide post
the trench ran through an old orchard.
On the edge of this orchard our bat
terry had constructed an advanced OBJ
servation post. The trees screened it
from the enemy airmen and the roof
was turfed. 1t wasn't cushy like ours,
no timber or concrete re-enforcements.

exactly safe. 1t was hot corner.
shells plunking all around, and the
bullets cutting leaves off the trees.
Many a time when relieving the sig
mailer at the phone, I had to crawl on
my belly like a worm to keep from
being hit.
SIT was an observation post sure
enough. That's all the use it was. Just
observe all day, but never message
back for oui battery to open up. You
see, at this point of the line there
were strict orders not to fire a shell,
unless specially ordered to do so from
brigade headquarters. Blime me, if
anyone disobeyed that command, our
general-yes, it was Old Pepper
would have court-martialed the whole
expeditionary force. Nobody went out
of their way to disobey Old Pepper in
those days, because he couldn't be
called a parson; he was more like a
pirate. II at any time the devil should
feel lonely and sigh for a proper mate,
Old Pepper would get the first call.
Facing the Germans wasn't half bad
compared with an interview with that
old firebrand.
"If q company or battalion should
give way few yards against a SUI
perior force of Boches, Old Pepper
would send for the commanding Off
Ger. In about half an hour the officer
would come back with his face tho
color of brick, and in few hours
what was left of his command would
be holding their original position.
81 have seen an officer who wouldn't
say d-n for thousand quid spend
five minutes with the old boy. and
when he returned the flow of language
from his lips would make a navy
blush for shame.
