with the pack is responsible for the
kill,” Mark W. Brown, who is asri
hers who stormed the county jail on
September 19th, declared today iu the
opening argument for the state. "It
was the (mck that was behind those
boys with the hammers, it was the
pack that flowed through the gates
and filled the jail and the jail yard,
trampling the law under its feet.
That park was a howling mass, de
void of conscience, reason or heart,"
he declared during the course of his
address to the jury which was a bitter
arraignment of those who would Bout
law and order.
When Superior Court convened in
the morning at 9:30 o’clock three
hours of argument will remain before
Judge A. M. Stack, who is presiding,
starts his charge to tile jury and
places the fate of the twenty-one de
fendants in the hands of the men in
the jury box.
The defense, which had been rambl
ing along for several days with a
great arruy of miscellaneous evidence
first for one defendant and then for
thethe other, suddenly rested its case
at the midday recess and when court
resumed its session at 2:30 o’clock
Mr. Brown arose to address the jury
for the State.
During his talk the attorney for
the prosecution took a list of those
defendants who had gone on the stand
in their own defense and one by one
stood them up in fancy before the
jury and riddled their defense with
a withering denunciation of their nl
eged conduct on the night of tin
trouble, as told by witnesses for both
State and defense.

■TAR HEELS”
One Story as to How North Caro
linians Came to Be Thus Called.
Raleigh, N, Nov. 14.—G4 s )
How did North Carolinians ever
come to be cnlled “Tar Heels?"
It is a question tlmt is repeatedly
asked, and there are perhaps various
versions of the origin of the term.
One of them is that found in an ad
dress by tlie late Major William A.
Graham, eliverqd before the South
ern Commercial Congress, at Musko
gee, Oklahoma, on April 25. 1915,
while he was commissioner of agri
culture in this state.
In his address on “Agricultural
Achievement ini North Carolina,./'
Mr- Graham explained:
“In 1862,” he said, “Tar Heels
was introduced as a term of rid
icu e." He explained that it came
into use in the Confederate Army as
the result of bantering*. To certain j
questions, he said, "the boys replied j
ip different styles—
“ Got any tar?’ 'No, Jeff Davis
has bought it all?'
“•What for?'
" ’To put on you fellows' heels to
make you stick.’
“The Fourth Texas,” continued
Major Graham, “had lost its Hag at
Sharpsburg. Passing the Sixth North
Carolina a few day- - afterward, the
called out. ‘Tar Heel', and (he re
ply was, 'lf you fellows lmd some tar
ou your heels, you would nave i
I brought your flag back from Slmrps-
I burg.'
I “It was recognized ns a term of
I affront until 1804. Governor Vance,
j when he visited the Army of North-
I ern Virginia, in. opening his speech,
said:
I "I do not know what to call you
follows. I cannot say “fellow sol
dier-." because I am nob a soldier;
nor “fellow citizens," because we do
not live in this state; so I hnve con
cluded to call you “fellow Tar
Heels” ’.
I “There was a slight pause before
the applause came, and from tlmt
! time ‘Tar Heel' has been honored as
an epithet worthy to be offered to a
gallant North Carolina sohlier."
