The Correct Location. ?1
In connection with the article we j w
published of Mr. Jno. Mitchiner last
week in regard to the location of the A
pole upon which the first Confeder- Ii
?te flag was raised, we publish the p
following letter Trom Mr. J. J. Allen :
To thr Editor of tiik Times. p
As there seems to be some mis'in- e,
lerstanding and uncertainty as to ,v
'.he spot on which the first Confedirate
flag was raised in North.Caro- ^
ins, I, as one who knows whereof
lie speeks, take the liberty of informing
the public that the pole, on ?
which it was raised, was made of two
poplar Bsplings eul on my father's a!
and by Bill Allen, colored, . and al
Elenry Lucas an old issue free negro al
;hen in the employ of Orren R. P
Smith. These two poplars --were
aauled to LouisOurg and theDce to jr
ihe mill where old Dick Dunce, the ni
Sddler, had set himself up as a black- ri
imith to run the shop for said O. It, \
Smith who then owned the mill and
-?
it this shop the two poplars were
ipliced together with iron bands, r(
thus making a pole over a hundred (.
Feet in length.
Now aa to the exact spot, I can
jonfldently and knowingly deolare
that it was erectad on Main Street a'
sear "William G. Collins' corner now 8'
known aa L. P. Hioks' oorner. j r
Now as my reoolleotion as to this ''
