At the request of the rector and members of the congregation, Hon orable Charles R. Thomas delivered an address, which was acceptable to the congregation and delivered in an impressive manner, containing much interesting and valuable information appropriate to the occasion. A brief outline of his address is as follows: After referring to the many scenes and shrines of American patriotism at Philadelphia and Valley Forge, near that city, and a complimentary reference to the work of the Daugh ters of the American Revolution in finishing North Carolina's part of the Cloister of the colonies at Valley F and o the RevoIutjona).y soI. .. ... , ... ,. diers of Haywood county (including Roben amJ Au jftep whom Wajmesvillc is named) M, rhnmoa t- nrhBI, th, rnnn lf co,onies Coagt i ii t : 1 - J ;bmin8 the United States of Amer- L had w(m admiration of the world by its marvelous progress.

The Declaration of Independence 'was a protest against the :ing just as much as Magna Charta; and as much as the demand for the Habeas j Corpus Act and other great rtocu- guaranteeing the rights of both Englismmen and Americans. ' He quoted the speeches of great Englishmen like Pitt ana Burite ana others in England, and of Patrick Henry and John Adams -in America, to show the mental attitude ol the people of Great Britain and the colo- nies. ..... .
