A NEW LEGAL HOLIDAY. April Twelve, 1776, The Halifax Con ventlon Declared for Independence. This is a legal holiday in North Carr olina, the twelth of April, the anni versary of the resolution of indepen dence of the committee of the North Carolina Congress of 1776, which, ex cept for the Mecklenburg Declaration stands as the first expression of the colonies of their independence of British rule. The North Carolina General Assembly, because of the resolution in Halifax on April 12, 17 76, has set the day aside as a legal holiday. It will be observed in Ral eigh as a holiday and the banks will be closed, while the same will be done in other parts of the State. It was on April 4, 1776, that there met in Halifax, N. C, the fourth pro vincial congress, the Revolutionary war having been in progress for a year. The British had been driven from Boston by Gen. Geonre Wash ington, and the Carolinas stood firm, the attempts to disrupt them by the British failing. The people were aroused, from the Scotch, the Scoth- Irish and other settlements coming calls for a declaration of independ ence from Great Britain. King George III was unyielding towards the colonies in their demands of equal rignts with those in the mother coun try. The temper of the liberty-lov ing colonists was strained to the breaking point. Hooper and Jones, and the men of Mecklenburg were ailing for independence, and there was little semblance of government. Harnett and the others of the Pro vincial Congress, issued commissions and military orders. Not a court house in Carolina was open for busi ness, ihe public demano was tor in dependence and a State government. In such a state of affairs Moderator Samuel Johnson, of Chowan, issued a call for the fourth Provincial Ct n gress and it met at Halifax, April 4, 1776. It was an assemblage of dis tinguished men and independar.ee was the matter discussed. On April 8 a committee was appo:nt-d t? cr sider and report upon the conduct of the King and the British Parliament towards the colonies. 'I he committee was composed of Cornelius Harnett, Thomas Jones, Abner Nash, Thomas Burke, John Kinchen and Thomas Person. On April 12 the report was submitted through Chairman Corne- ius Harnett in the form of a resolu tion, this written by the chairman, which read: THE HALIFAX RESOLUTION. "It appears to your committee that pursuant to the plan concerted by the British ministry for subjugat- ng America, the King and Parlia merit of Great Britain have usurped a power over the persons and prop erties of the people unlimited and uncontrolled and disregarding their humble petitions for personal liberty and safety, have made divers legis lative acts, denouncing war, famine and every species of calamity against rhe continent itf general. The Brit ish fleets and armies have been, and still are, daily employed in destroy ing the people and committing the most horrible devastations on t he country. The Governors in different colonies have declared protection to slaves vvho should imbrue their hands in the blood of their masters. The ships belonging to America are de clared prizes of war an J many of them have been violently seized and confiscated. In consequence of all of which, multitudes of the people have been destroyed, or from easy circumstances reduced to the most lamentable distress. And, whereas, the moderation hitherto manifested by the United Colonies, and their sincere desire to be reconciled to the mother country on constitutional principles, have secured no mitiga tion of the aforesaid wrongs and usurpations and no hopes remain of securing redress by those means alone which have hitherto been tried your committee are of the opinion that the House should enter into the following resolves, to-wit: "Resolved, That the delegates of this colony in the Continental Con gress be empowered to concur with the delegates of other colonies in de claring independence, and forming foreign alliances, reserving to this i the sole and exclusive right for form- j ing a constitution and laws for this colony and the appointing of dele gates from time to time (under the direction of a general representa tion thereof) to meet the delegates of the other colonies, for such pur poses as may hereafter be pointed out." Concerning this resolution it is sta ted in Moore's History of North Car olina: "History is full of noble reso lutions and deeds, but in all human lOME BAtrcn vac. fJlSfN fresh, cooa, wholesome, economical, ReadHv made wii& No Alum No Lima chronicles there exists no more splen did monument of resolute and ad vanced patriotism than this modest record of the North Carolina Con gress of 1776." So it was that on the 12th of April 1770, North Carolina was the first of the American colonies in Congress assembled which spoke out for a com plete independence, others of the col onies following, and so it is that on the State flag of North Carolina there is April 12, 1776. It is because of this that in North Carolina the 12th j of April has been made a legal holi day. News and Observer, 12th inst TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES. Greenville, N. C, April 6. Presi dent Wright went to Washington, N. C, April 5th, to respond to the toast, East Carolina Teachers Training School," at a dinner given bv the Domestic Science Department of the Washington schools. ; Prof. Wilson attended an educa-'; tional rally at his old home school at ! Eastern Academy, Chatham county. ; .1 , & -n a i ' un me morning oi easier ivionaay the students enjoyed an egg hunt in the school park. President Wright delivered an ad dress at the convention of Eastern Commercial Teachers' Association in Washington, D. C, on March 25th. The Evening Star gave an epitome of Mr. Wright's speech, the theme of which was the economic value of the trained teacher. Prof. Ragsdale's practical lectures n school management are of great interest to the students taking the spring course. The first baseball game on the E. C. T. T. S. diamond was played on Easter Monday. The game was be tween E. C. T. T. S. and the Green ville teams. The score was 6 to 2. The school was proud of the victory as there were some experienced players on the opposing side. The second game was on Saturday, April 2nd. E. C. T. T. S. vs. Win terville High School. The score was 19 to 4 in favor of this school. The twenty-seven students enroll ed in the spring course for teachers have entered into their work with fine spirit. President Wright has been giving a series of interesting talks on his recent trip to Cincinnati, Indianapo lis, Chicago, and Menomonie, Miss. The last place is of particular inter est because of the unusual combina tion of schools in one small town. These are Stout Institute, a school for the training of domestic science and normal training teachers, the Agricultural High School and the County Normal. Trinity College Catalogue.
