THE GOLDEN ACE IN NORTH
CAROLINA.
h is curious how few people there sire,
except historical experts, who know that
Xorth Csirolina is a land of romance. To
those outside her own borders she has
been until recently the region of "pitch,
tar and turpentine." Of late years it has
come to be known among those who are
interested in the progress of the South
that the Old Xorth State is one of the
richest portions of our Union in its nat
ural resources. Her grand mountain
scenery, her immense stores of mineral
and forest wealth, her valuable fisheries,
her richness and variety of soil, her une
qusiled climate sire beginning to be known
and appreciated. But among those who
know so much there are very few who
know smy more, or even suppose there
is any more to know. Xorth Carolina is
not suspected of having had a history in
any degree stirring and romantic. The
mental picture of her which the average
imagination has dniwn represents a
rather indolent, exceedingly good-nsi-tured
giantess, lying with her cheek soft
ly pillowed upon the green slopes of the
Alleghanies, and her feet bathed by the
bright wsiters of the Atlantic. Here it is
supposed that she lay sind comfortably
dreamed away the eventful years of our
colonial and national history, content "to
let the world wag," if she could but be
left in peace under her own serene, blue
sky.
But such si picture is a mistaken one.
Xorth Carolina has been "up and doing"
from the very beginning of English colo
nization upon the shores of the Xew
World. The romance of our history be
gan earlier here than anywhere else in
America, and first and last this great
state has had its full share in the event
ful life of more than three hundred yesirs.
It was on the 4th of July, 1584, that
K:ileigh's first expedition, under Amadas
and Barlowe sighted the coast of whsit
is now Xorth Carolina. On the 13th they
landed on Wokokon, one of that series of
long, narrow islands which make a sea
wall between the Atlantic ooe.in anil
Pamlico sound. It was only twenty
miles long and six wide, but "a light
little, tight little island" for sill that.
It was big enough to give these handy
Englishmen stsinding room, and at home
they were not accustomed to much more
than that. So they planted their banner
on that sandy islet, and, looking abroad
from the highest point they could dis
cover, claimed everything in sight, in the
nsune of good queen Bess, "as rightful
Queene sind l'rincesse of the same," si ml
in behalf of Sir Walter JZaleigli, in whose
interest and at whose proper charges the
voysige had been made.
The grapes that grew upon Wokokon
were ;i sight to behold, and calculated to
make mouths that hid been parching
with sea-salt ever since the 27th of April,
water with sinticipation. There were
grsipes, grapes, grapes on the low sandy
shore, on the green hillsides, "on every
little shrubbe, and climbing towards the
tops of high cedars," everywhere in riot
ous abundance, so th.it they were in
many places wet by the beating of the
sea.
Cedars they found there iar better than
the famous of Lebanon, and many other
noble trees, sind in these "goodly woodes "
sin "incredible abundance" of "Deere,
Conies, Ilsires sind Fowle."
Hitherto this earthly paradise had
seemed uninhabited, but sifter si lew days
the gentle people of the region began to
visit the English suiventurers. Gr.mga
nameo, the king's brother, came stceoinpa
nied by forty or fifty handsome and well
mannered men of the tribe. Heased
with his visitors from across the great
water, Grangan.inieo brought next his
pretty little wife sind some of his chil
dren. And then not to be outdone in
courtesy Captain B i rlo we took si boat's
crew of seven men and went to visit
Granganameo's home, si village of nine
houses on the Xorth End of Boanoke isl
and, twenty miles aw.iy. All the time
they were here they were treated by the
natives with the utmost love and kind
ness and with as much bounty sis they
could devise. It is no wonder, then, th.it
when Amadas sind Barlowe got back to
England in September, they gave si glow
ing siccount of their trip to Sir Walter
and to their roysil Mistress, describing
the new-discovered land as "the most
plentiful, sweet, fruitful and wholesome
in the whole world," and the people as
"most gentle, loving and faithful, void of
sill guile sind treason, and such as live sif
ter the manner of the Golden Age."
