A New Year!
To many of us it will be a year of plenty-if we
do OUR part-if we but use our brains, and our
energy, and our perseverance-if we use them in
the RIGHT way.
But will we do that?
Will the RIGHT way appeal to us?
Many Of us have made the customary New
Years resolutions, with the full intention to live
up to them.
But WILL WE so live?
Will the year be one in which we place RIGHT
above all other considerations
Will it be one in which we place HONOR
above GOLD, and CHARITY above GREED, and
GENTLENESS above ARROGANCE?
Or will we plunge headlong into a frantic and
gasping rush for the golden end of the rainbow ?
Will it be a year in which our simple WORD
is as good-or even better-than our BOND?
Or will it be one in which we HAGGLE, and
TWIST, and SQUIRM, and EVADE, and CON-
CEAL, and DECEIVE?
It may be the one, or the other.
But which WILL it be?
We MEAN well-but will we DO well?
ONLY TINE CAN TELL.
A New Year!
To some it will bring sorrow, and sadness, and
tears.

Just a little help-a few kind words-a slight

And what WILL BE our record for this new
year?
Will the Great Book record little acts of kind
ness, of good cheer, of assistance to the manned,
and the ~sightless, and the aged and the needy,
and Of compassion for the little child that knows
no home?
Will OUR records for the new year be such as
will bring a loving smile to the kindly face Of the
King Of Kings?

row?
It will be as we choose to make it.

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 inde-
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-
tion Of Independence, the provincial
congress Of North Carolina appointed

legislature, which followed. practically
endorsed the radical views of the CON
vcntion, which wHs proclaimed by the
governor to be anarchy. The result was
that the legislature was dissolved and
the governor took refuge on !: ship Of

OF CALMNESS GIVEN BY
CARDINAL TO PEOPLE OF
IRELAND.

London, June 1O-The situation in
Ireland still remains misty, but not so
the attitude of the Bishops, who con-
tinue their efforts to preserve peace,
and with good results Cardinal Lo-
que, speaking at a confirmation at
Carrikmore, Tyrone, last Sunday, said
Ireland was passing through the
greatest crisis in her history in the
recollection of living man. He urged
the people to do nothing rash, but to
follow the advice of their Bishops and
priests; this was not danger which
could be faced by physical force, but
they could protect and help them. In
the meantime they should say the
rosary in every family nightly, and ask
Almighty God to give peace to the
world. AS to the difficulties which have
arisen between English and Irish
Catholics, the Archbishop of Cashel, in
thanking the Tipperary Guardians for
their resolution approving the policy
Of the bishops and priests of Ireland,
says: I'VE care very little about these
attacks, being conscious that we have
acted rightly towards our country.
For US the love of our people far out
weighs the abuse lavished on US by
those whose names have been linked
with injustice to Ireland. We trust
the worlds verdict will Justly appraise
the action of the Irish Bishops, priests
and people, and we are confident that
history will see in our united efforts
the true Interpretation of the rights of
nations, small and great, to determine
their own destinies."

NO DISCOURTESY MEANT, SAYS
LORD STANMORE.

IOhO JANmOnGs
London, June 14-Lord Stanmore,
replying to a question in the House of
Lords yesterday, said there was evil
dently some idea that the Government
had been wanting in respect and cour-
tesy in the matter of the Pope's note
on peace.
Nothing could have been further
from the thoughts of the government,
he declared. The note was received
early in August, and few days later
a reply was sent to the effect that the
government had received the proposal
of His Holiness with the most sincere
appreciation of the benevolent inten-
tions which animated it.
A few days later President Wilson
sent a detailed answer to the note. The
British government, he said, associated
themselves with this answer and 1t was
decided that there was nothing they
could usefully add to it. This was
made public at the time.
Regarding the clause in the secret
treaty with France, Russia and Italy,
excluding the Pope from being repre-
sented at the peace conference, Lord
Stanmore said that was a perfectly
reasonable course to take. The Pope
was in the same position, he said, as
the sovereign of neutral state, whose
representative would in no case be ad'
mitted to the peace conference with
out the general consent of all the bel
ligerents.
The Irish standard., 1918-06-29

the governor, with soldiers, proceeded
against q band Of men calling them
selves Regulators; and few miles
north of Southern Pines a battle was
fought in which more than 100 casual
ties occurred on both sides, nearly two
score being killed. This was the first
blOodshed in the Revolution. The in
judfcfOus governor, whose force was
victorious, aroused further hatred on
the part Of the people by hanging a
number of his prisoners. Herman
Husbands, the leader of the Regula-
tors. escaped and went to Pittsburgh,
where he settled, dying later at Phila-
delphia.

feme acts Of each side. until state

In 1868 the British parliament passed
the stamp act. When the first slOop of
war arrived off Cape Fear from Eng

pie terrorized the captain until he was
afraid to land his stuff, and then they
captured the stamp officer from the
