Many events in history derive
their public interest from their
antiquity. Some from their in
trinsic importance, some from
the fact that it was a matter in
dispute, and men 'are naturally
attracted to any matter of con
tention or conflict, from the clash
of arms in battle array, to a com
delegates to ' that

authorized John Har-
the president, to call an
mon dog
fight in
which. Tiger
gnaws 'off the ears of Lion in a
rough and tumble fight. The
question of where Amadas and
Barlow first landed on the coast
of Nqrth Carolina and through
wlaat inlet on our sand-barred
coast they came to Roanokd
Island, is now a controverted
and
vey
otner convention whenever he
thought itexpedient. Thatshows
where North Carolina, stood bo
fore there was an overt act of
revolution, before a gun was
fired at Lexington and before
Virginia showed her revolution
ary teeth. Before Patrick Ucnry
first uttered the slogan of "Lib
erty or Death" in the sacred halls
of old St. John's church in Rich
mond, John Harvey had pro
claimed the s'upremacy of the
people of North Carolina over
kings and their representatives.
Many memorials of the patriot
ism of the citizens of North Car

question that the antiquarians d and' ai0 preSerVed
have failed to settle It enter- ,
ests only a few old fossils and
the younger generation, in a
spirit of , charity and kindness,
turn from, tha practical tilts' of
life to listin to these specala
tions, which are of as much prac
tical importance as the disputes
as to ' the difference between
tweedledum and teedledee. '
Nevertheless we are in the
fight and we venture to saj" if
Amadas and Barlow had only1
driven down a stake in the sand,
and by a suitable inscription
marked the place oPtheir entry,
