NORTH CAROLINA IN PHILADELVHA North Carolinians in Philadelphia and vicinity, said- to number about live hundred, are, under the auspices of their association and the leadership of Mr. Jacob S. Allen, their president, paying homage to one of their Revolu tionary heroes today under unique cir cumstances. A pilgrimage is being made to Kulpsville, In Montgomery County, and services will be held In the little Mennonite church, to the honor of General PYancls Nash, whose body lias in the burying ground hard by, his. grave marked and honored by generations of Pennsylvanlans for 146 ? years, ahd for many years distinguish ed by a; stately monument erected by a people who were neither of his kith or kin. Only a few months ago Mr. Allan, accompanied by Colonel Bene han Cameron of titcgvllle. North Car olina, a grand-nephew of General Nash, sought out his grave and con ceived the thought that It would be a fitting honor for the Sons and Daugh ters of North Carolina to render their ancestraU here by this pilgrimage.

Anally numbering 5000 men, through Virginia Maryland and Pennsylvania, to. the auccpr of Washington In that critical period at the patriot cause Just pre ceding the Winter of 1777-78. With his Brigade of North Carolinians, he was at Brandywlne, and again on Oc - tober 4th, he was at German town, where his command suffered severely and Nash, himself, was struck by a cannon ball in the thigh. He was carried off the battle-ground and lin gered for four or five clays, during which Washington sent his surgeons In anxious solicitude for his recovery His body was taken at Kulpsville and there in the burying ground ot the Hennonnites, was given a hero's grave Some years afterward, the father of the late Goveror Pennypacker, led a patriotic movement for the recogni tion of this early hero from the South land and raised the money in German town and Norri8town for the erection of the monument. A brother of General Nash became Governor of North Carolina, and a nephew, a son of the Governor, serv ed long In high places of her Judic iary Rystem. It is said that at the close of the Revolutionary War Wash ington. visiting in North Carolina, took the future Judge Nash on his knee and told him that he should be proud of his heroic uncle, whose body lay under Northern sod. Tbp North Carolina Society ot Penn sylvania, organized but four years ago, for two-years under the Presi dency of Mr. Gordon Cilley and now under that of Mr. Allen, Is taking a particular Interest in promoting the perfection of the North Carolina Bay In the Cloister of the Colonies at Val ley Forge.
