Items of business were the plans for the Children of the Confederacy Convention to be held in Newberry April 25. Also plans were made for observance of Confederate Memorial Day. The Chapter decided to observe this day in connection with the regular chapter meeting to be held in May. Members are ask ed to meet at the Calvin Croz ier Monument in Rosemont cem etery at 3:45, have a brief ser vice, and then go to the four o’clock meeting at the home of Mrs. Charles Owens on Clark son Avenue. The subject of the program was “North Carolina”. Mrs. Ray Nobles - gave a short bio graphical sketch of “Gen. Leon idas Polk, the Fighting Bishop Who Wore a Sword”. Miss Juanita Hitt gave the following interesting account of why North Carolinians are call ed “Tar Heels”. WHY TAR HEELS? In colonial days, North Caro lina was a big producer of tar, pitch and turpentine and its res idents sometimes were called Tar Heels. During one of the fiercest con flicts of the War Between the States, North Carolina troops felt they had been let down by a regiment carrying the colors of another state, and thus car ried chips on their shoulders when they pulled back from the front after the battle. “Any more tar down in the Old North State, boys?” mem bers of the other regiment taunted the battle-weary North Carolinians. “Not a bit. Jeff Davis bought it all up,” retorted the Caro linians. ‘How’s that, what’s he going to do with it?” “He’s gonna put it on your heels to make you stick better in the next fight,” answered the soldiers from the land of tar, pitch and turpentine. General Lee, hearing of the incident, remarked: “God bless the Tar Heel boys.’ The nickname became im mensely popular. Miss Hitt also told of the “Prison and National Cemetery at Salisbury”. One of the larg est prison camps maintained by the Confederacy was located in Salisbury; 11,700 Federal sold iers are buried in the grounds which have been made into a National Cemetery. Robert Liv ingstone son of the famous missionary, is one of the Fed eral soldiers buried here. North Carolina furnished more men to the Confederate cause than any other state, and, also suffered more casualties than any other Confederate State, as 40,275 North Carolinians proved their devotion to duty by their death.
