THE STATE FLAG
Continued from Page 1, Section 1
ordained by the authority of the
same, that the flag of North
Carolina shall consist of a red
field with a v/hite star in the
center, and with the inscription,
above the star in a semi-circular
form, of ‘May 20th, 1775,’ and,
below the star, in a semi-circu
lar form, of ‘May 20th, 1861.’
That there snail be two bars of
equal width, and the length of
the field shall be equal to the
bar, the width of the field be
ing equal to both bars; the first
bar shall be blue and the second
shall be white, and the length of
the flag shall be one-third more
than the width.” (Ratified the
22nd day of June. 1861).
This flag was issued to North
Carolina troops and carried by
them throughout the entire War
Between the States, it was used
in this state until 1885, when the
Legislature adopted a new
model.
The bill, ir, connection with
this procedure, was presented by
General Johnstone Jones on
February 5, 1885, and ratified
March 9, after little debate. The
red field was exchanged for
blue, with the addition of the
letter N, in gilt, on the left of
the white star, and the letter C,
in gilt, on the right.
May 20, 1775, the upper date,
was retained, commemorating the
Mecklenburg Declaration of In
dependence. However, the se
cession date. May 20, 1861, was
changed to that of April 12, 1776,
in commemoration of the adop
tion of the Halifax Resolves—a
document that gives North Caro-

Daleline Cuba: The President,
like most Americans, was horri
fied over the destruction, di
sease, starvation and carnage
spread by the revolt in Cuba.
However, the rebels wanted full
independence, nothing less, so
the fighting continued. Should
the U. S. intervene? There was
the danger of a foreign nation
taking advantage of the Cuban
situation, with an attempt to
infiltrate in the Caribbean, Yes,
history repeats itself. This was
the situation in the late 1890’s,
when President McKinley sent
the battleship Maine to Havana.
It was blown up, killing all 260
men aboard. The American
press wanted the people to be

lieve Spain was responsible, as
it was against Spain the Cubans
were fighting for their inde
pendence. However, Spain was
trying to avoid war and it
seems incredible they’d agitate
the U. S. by such an action.
But, with the help of sensation
al newspaper headlines, this was
what Americans believed and
“Remember The Maine,” became
the battle-cry. Our government
officially declared support of
the rebels, demanding Spain
give Cuba full independence
and Congress eventually au
thorized the President to use
force to liberate Cuba. Troops
were sent and after short and
comparatively bloodless Dattles,
we had liberated the country.
Chief American casualties oame
from tropical diseases. The ne
glect of the war department, in
providing proper equipment,
caused most of our boys there
to suffer unnecessary hardships.
Later we were pledged not tc
acquire Cuba, as we had already
done witn the Philippines. In
addition, Spain relinquished her
sovereignty there, making Cuba
completely independent. For
the next 20 or 30 years Cubans
were content with their lot and
while the country prospered,
many of its people, did not. Re
sultant conditions eventually led
to the Batista dictatorship and
to the second Cuban revolution,
thence to the Castro dictator
ship and to the third Cuban
.evolution. Again the U. S. is
concerned. Again the question:
how far should we go in aiding
the newest group of revolution

cycle except that the enemy
