THE TWENTIETH OF JUNE OELS. BRATION. A Reminder of Its Significance. Editor Observer; In order that the minds of our people may be reminded as to the historical event, which the Ladles Liberty Point and the Civic Improvement Associations propose to celebrate here on June 20th, may I ask space In your valued columns, to re produce from Wheeeler's History of North Carolina, the copy of the orig inal Liberty Point Resolutions : -The Association, June 20th, 1775. The actual commencement of hostil ities against the continent by the Brit ish troops, In the bloody scene on the 19th of April last, near Boston, the in crease of arbitrary Impositions from a wicked and despotic Ministry, and the dread of instigated insurrections in the colonies, are causes sufficient to drive an oppressed people to the use of arms. 1 We, therefore, the subscrib ers of Cumberland County, holding ourselves bound by the most sacred of all obligations, the duty of good citi zens toward an injured .county,-- and thoroughly convinced, that, under our distressed circumstances, we shall be Justified in resisting force by force, to unite ourselves under every tie of re ligion and honor,- and associate as a band In her defence against every foe, hereby solemnly, engaging, that when ever our . Continental or Provincial Councils shall decree ft necessary, we will go forth and be ready to sacrifice our lives and . fortunes to secure her freedom and safety. 'This obligation to continue In full force until a recon ciliation shall take place ' between Great Britain and America, upon con stitutional principles, an event we most ardently desire; and we will hold all those persons inimical to the lib erty of the colonleswho shall refuse to subscribe to this Association; and we will in all things follow the advice of our General, Committee respecting the purposes aforesaid, the preserva tion of peace and good order, and safe ty of individual, and private property Signed: '; ; '..' -; -Robert' Rowan, Lewis Barge, Maur ice Nowlan, Lewis Powell, Martin Lennard,: ; George ' Fletcher, .

This paper considering the time (June 1775), and the sentiments ox- pre8sedt is but little -behind the fam ed Mecklenburg Resolves. - ' This Important paper la deposited In the Governor's office, at Ralolgh, where It can be examined; but I have given above a true copy. Wheeler's History of North Carolina, page 125. It has always seemed to the writer that the above document was almost conclusive evidence in favor of the "Mecklenburg Declaration" as the date, Jurfe 20th, is just about the time that would have been necessary under conditions there existing, tor the sen timent in the 20th of May "Resolves" to have travelled from Mecklenburg to Cumberland. I would like also to call especial attention to the aggres sive character of this paper, in that J the signers, pledge themselves to "re sist force by force" and unite under "every tie of religion and honor" as "a band lh her defense against every foe" and "be ready to sacrifice their lives and fortunes to secure freedom and safety." . . ; Ever since 1584 . North Carolinians have been making history. Her sons and daughters : however, have been woefully derelict in allowing others to write it -'::,l":;'r-':,r''' :C' '-'''y':, Charlotte proposes, on May 20th, to appropriately celebrate and honor the Mecklenburg Declaration. . ..

" A friend has called our attention to the omission to. mention the Georgia Pine Turpentine Company ' lh ' our enumeration of some of the industries' of Fayetteville In "our article in the Observer of April 21., entitled "The Fayetteville of To-Day We are glad to be reminded of this. We shall not call It an omission, for there were enumerated then only a few of the many Industries of Fayetteville; which were hastily recalled upon our news editor's reading the article in the Charlotte Observer of that morning, and they had to be added to the Char lotte Observer's list in "a Jiffy," for "t was near time to go to press. The nature of. the additions was suggested by that-of the omissions in our Charlotte contemporary's list The chief of them; was the government's approval of our great deeper , water scheme for the Upper Cape Fear. Un fortunately,, when Mr. Tompkins was here, he was given a copy of an "in dustrial" publication which purported to represent the Fayettevlle Chamber of Commerce, and In which not a word was contained concerning what Chief Justice Clark recently declared, In a letter to the editor of the Observer, was of vital importance, not only to Fayetteville but to the State of North Carolina, viz.:: the canalization of the Upper Cape Fear so as to restore Fayetteville to Its former position as the gateway to the Interior. Our news editor's attention was chiefly directed to the correction of this omission. As to the Georgia Pine Turpentine Company, it Is dear to the Observer's heart, and should be to all our patriot-, lo citizens; for, when the Observer was appealing to the public for funds for our quota for the National Rivers and. Harbors Congress and had called a meeting for the night of October 30, 1907, to appoint delegates to the all important waterways meeting at Wil mington, , that 'very day the publica tion alluded to appeared with Its omis sion from the list of Fayetteville Indus tries and projects of this greatest tf all of them I : . While this hostile act was being done, Dr. Franklin S. Clark, President of the Georgia Pine Turpentine Com pany, sent out from New York, where he was at the time, cheques for $30 to help make up our quota of $300! Yet Dr .Clark's Company sells nothing nf consequence to Fayetteville, deriving nearly all its Income from its sales in New York. Ob the other hand,' his company disburses $5,000 a month ($60,000 per annum) In Fayetteville for labor and raw material. We wish Fay? etteville had a thousand like him and his associates resident here, ' , : In this connection, the Observer will be glad to have every Industry in the town and suburbs make report to us, so that we may make a correct list r.f them. - ' - ,. . . ,' v .
