MAY 20, 1775 On That Date Leading Mecklenburg Citisens Renounced Allegiance to British Crown. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel ‘ Raleigh, May 20.—Aroused to the point of definite action by news of the Battle of Lexington, which had just reached them, -the leading citi xens of Mecklenburg county, North Carolina, assembled in Charlotte, one hundred and fifty-one years ago to day and signed a set of resolutions In which they renounced all allegiance to the British Crown. .This docu ment is known in history as the Meck lenburg Declaration of Independence and its importance is recognized even by those who are not inclined to give it the significance thSt is accorded it in North Carolina. There has been some controversy , ns to just how far reaching the document was. How ever, the leading American historians refer to it ns one of the pointedly" significant events leading up to the War of the Revolution. The Mecklenburg declaration was signed fourteen months before the Philadelphia declaration which, of course, takes precedence over all pre viously signed documents, ami nearly eleven months before the Halifax res olution, which instructed North Caro lina’s delegatee to the Continental Chbgresa-te* act with representatives from other colonies in voting full in dependence ftom Great Britain. It was refected to by President Roose velt. in an address in Raleigh, as an historic fact of real significance, . May 20th is a legal holiday in North Carolina and the date—“ May 20, 1775" —appears on the State flag, along with “April 1770”, the date on which the Halifax resolutions were signed. , The Mecklenburg Declaration of In dependence, in part, was couched in the following language: “Resolved, That whoever directly or indirectly abbetted, or in any oth er way, form, or manner, counte nanced the unchartered and danger ous invasions of our rights, as claimed by Great, Britain, is an enemy of this counts—to America —and to the in herent and inalienable rights of man. “Resolved, That we, the citizens of Meckleqbnrg County, do hereby dis solve the political bands which haye connected us to the mother country and hereby absolve ourselves from all allegiance fp the British Crown, and abjure all political connection, con tract or association with that nation, who have wantonly trampled on our lights and liberties—and inhumanly shed the Innocent blood of American patriots at Lexington. “Resolved, That we do hereby de clare ourselves a free ami independent people, are, and of a right ought to be, a sovereign and self-governing as sociation, under the control of no power other than, that of our God and the general government of the Congress; to the-, maintenance of which independence we solemnly pledge to each other oiir mutual co operation, our lives, our fortunes and our most sacred honor.” A few days later a delegation was sent to the Continental Congress in Philadelphia, with a copy of the res olutions and a letter addressed to Norm Carolina’s representatives there —Richard Caswell, William Hooper and Joseph Hewes, two of whom signed the Declaration of Independ ence on July 4, 1770 —urging them to. use every means to have the proceed ings sanctioned by the Congress. Del egates Caswell, Hewes and Hooper tbok the, position that, the time had not yet come for the preaefttation of such a resolution in the Continental Congress, bnt they wrote the signers complimenting them on their seal Annual Mar Drive at Parka-Brito Co.’s.

"DEBTSnS Cabinet Member Tells the i House Committee Plan Is Fair Both to Ameri \ cans and die Firefich. ABILITY TO PAY WAS CONSIDERED Mr. Mellon Thinks Plan 1 Will Give France Chance to Get on Feet Before Big Payments Come. Washington, May 20—C4 5 )—The French debt settlement was described today by Secretary Mellon to the House Ways and Means Committee As “fair, both to the American tax poyer and the French people.” 1 It represents France's capacity to pay. Mr. Mellon said, as he predicted that when France has concluded her . debt settlements with England as well as this country it will be able to sta bilize its currency which has declined considerably in recent weeks. The appearance of the Secretary, who was accompanied by Floyd Blair, acting secretary of the debt commis sion, before the committee today, marked the first step in the legisla tive consideration of the French and Jugo-Slavian debt pacts which the ad ministration hopes to have approved by Congress at this session. Mr. Mellon pointed out that the set tlements provide for total payments by France of $0,847,074,102 over a period of 02 years on its original loan from this country of $3,340,000,000 with payments starting at $80,000,000 and graduated up to $125,000,000 an nually which will be paid for the last 45 years. “To insist on too heavy payments in the eslrly years." the Secretary de clared “might well jeopardise the ac complishments of these reforms essen tial to France's economic and financial rehabilitation.” SMITH NAMED GRAND SECRETARY BY ODD FELLOWS Goldsboro Man Elected Over John D.
