NEWS Cabarrus county—a part of Meck lenburg until 1792—furnished five of the nltra-patriotic men who signed the “Mecklenburg Declaration of In dependence,” May 20th, 1775—about thirteen months before the Continent al Congress at Philadelphia voted for a separation from the “mother coun try.” Rev. Hezekiah James Balch, the tall and handsome young pastor of Poplar. Tent Presbyterian Church, and graduate of Princeton, .in bis matchless eloquence addressed the con vention in the cause of the colonists, at the Mecklenburg county courthouse Charlotte bn May 19th, 1775. The meeting had been called by Thomas Polk, Colonel Commandant of the county, where a large concourse of enthusiastic people from Anson, Row an, and Tryon (afterwards Lincoln), with hot-headed delegates from etch of the militia districts assembled “to take into consideration the state of thecountry and adopt such measures as to them seemed best to secure their lives, liberties nnd property from the storm which had burst on their fellow citizens to the eastward by a British army.” Rev. Hezekiah James Balch, Dr. Ephraim Brevard, of Mecklenburg, and William Kennon. an attorney at law of Rowan, were appointed a sub committee to draw np a set of reso lutions. These gentlemfn retired to Queen's Museum for this purpose. These resolutions composed by Rev. Mr. Balch and copied by Dr. Brevard, clerk of the committee, were unani mously adopted and signed by twen ty-seven patriots on May 20th. After they Were read from the courthouse steps, an offifficial copy of the import ant document was carried by Captain James Jack, on horseback to Messrs. Caswell. Hooper, and Hughs, North Carolinh’s delegates to the Continent al then in session at Philadelphia. The resolutions were also dispatched to the Provincial Congress at Hillsboro and laid before that body on the 25th of August. 1775. We might note in passing that Mecklenburg sent as delegates, Thomas Polk, John Phifer, James Houston, Waightstill Avery and John McKniti Alexander. Five of the signers ot the Mecklen burg Declaration of Independence were members of Poplar Tent Church, and their bodies lie buried in Cabar rus county, vix.: John Phifer, Benja min Patton, Robert Harris, David Reese and Hezekiah James Balch. Let us cherish the ideals and prin cipals given to us by these heroic char acters. who were no longer proud to be called Englishmen, but Americans! Their services for their country should be an inspiration to ns.' Let as fittingly observe the 151st anni versary of the signing of the Meck lenburg Declaration of Independence —make it a real patriot's day. J. P. W. ON THE UNVEILING OF THE MECKLENBURG MONUMENT „ May 20th, 1898. BT LUCILLE ARMFIELD The century ends, the curtail falls, While plaudits shade surrounding walls; A heavenward-rising shaft appears. With hosts of joyful pilgrims round The fairest scene of all the years With fairest deed is crowned. Sweet arifWpproval's slfent votce And strangers’ praise our souls re- 1 jotee; ■ ' ... / • ’ The Veil, that hides the Unseen, parts, Our fathers’ forms rise one by one; While louder, deeper to onr hearts Resounds "well done!” Oh, we have yearned and planned and wrought To make Our deeds fulfill our thought.' Now Freedom, Justice, Peace, Con tent, And Plenty reign from hill to coast; Here Art, here Science spreads her tent, — And yet we may not boast. One hundred years and more agone, A grander picture here was shown; A little band of patriots true Oppressed by giant foreign power, Declared their Freedom, —daring few! — And pledged their lives that hour. With greatest men they rank sr peers, In Freedom’s march were pioneers; No braver knights deserve men's praise, No martyr’s requiem rings more clear; Like heroes bold in fabled days, They scorned the dragon Fear. For others’ good they nobly wrought. For unborn children's peace they fought. They are not dead, they live and .move And in our complex lives hold sway; Their spirit free, their faith and love We celebrate today. The spirit true of Freedom fair Fills every swelling heart with pray er. O God of Freedom, keep us now, Who yield our wills to thee alone, In alienee eloquent we bow Before thine awful throne. A thousand creeds, a thousand ways, Fill up our brief, distracted days.' G!re ns to know,our fathers’ God, Who holds the future astthe pastj To walk the simple path they trod And sleep with them at last. Miss Smart Graduate*.
