THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1006 Wis- Pw Stowed away on every ship of the UDitfd Slates navy, from tug bout to 16,000 ton battleships, is a bundle of flags, shoulder high and about fifteen feet loug. About half the lot is composed of foreign flags, which are encased in thick paper bags, with the v name of the country stenciled on the end of the bag. The remain der, including those of ordinary use, are not wrapped, but tied in round bundles and lettered. The pile contains 50 flags, the regulation number each ship must carry. The making of this number of flags costs the United States $60,000 a year, of which $43,000 is paid for material -alone. Each ship has forty -three foreign flags on board constantly. These flags are twenty-five feet long and thirteen wide- With these on board the ship is prepared to meet and show the proper cour tesies which naval etiquette de mands to all nations whose high officials should come aboard or whose waters the vessel should enter while on a cruise. As a ship's quota of flags is renewed every three years, it is no .small job to keep enough flags on hand, and to this end Uncle Sam keeps a large flag-making establishment running at full blast the year round at the Brooklyn navy yard. Here there are nearly one hundred skilled needlewomen working every day in the year except Sunday and holidays, cutting the various colored bunting into strips and sewing and stitching them to gether in their proper place. The most difficult part of the work is the making of the for eigrfftags, for some of them, be it known, are fearfully and wond derfully made- Take, for ex- ample, the flag of San Salvador, in the back is a belching volcano, pouring forth its lava and white smoke. On the sides of the . mountains is the green foliage and shrubbery. Directly in front is P tranquil sea of sapphire blue. Ab -v the volcano is a rising sun, set a design of overflowing c.'!iJopihs, and a diamond, fit tit T''u - d 1 DP ' vhich the rays are scintilla- , j t vfry direction.

'A'" make a flag ot ban Salvador costs the Uuited States govern ment just $52.00, and when onj of these flags is placed on each battleship every three years it can be readily seen that the insignificant little republic to the south of us is really costing the taxpayers of -the country more than they care to admit. Then there is the flag of China, with its long, crawling, mythical blood-red dragon. To make that flag cost the government some thing like $40. The Costa Rica, with its scenic beauty of moun tain and sea, costs $50, nearly as much as the costliest of them all, that of San Salvador. The largest flag made by Uncle ... ,.-- Sam's flag makers is the United i l States ensign No. 1, which is - thirty-six feet long and nineteen , feet wide. It costs $40 to turn out a flag of this style, 1 The Presidents flag, while not the largest, requires the longest time of any to make, as it takes one woman a whole month to finish it. It is a simple design, being a blue field with the coat of arm of the United States in the centre- The life sized eagle, with outstretched wings and other emblems, are all hand -embroidered, and involve the most patient work. The embroid ery silk -used-on this design, which is ten feet by fourteen feet in size, costs $9 a pound. With OurA4vertIsers. K. M. Biggs is headquarters for shoes and hats.

We are very sorry that Mr. Carlyle was defeated at the con vention last week for house of representatives, but this one is not likely to be the last one and we beiive Mr. Carlyle's time will come later. He deserves some public office for we doubt there is a man in the county that has the welfare of his fellow men at heart more than he. He is a hard worker in any place you may put him, in church, school and political affairs. He is now county brgahizer for the Cotton Growers Association 'and president of the Raft Swamp Farmers Alliance. What a grand old county this would be if it had a plenty of such men as Mr. Carlyle.

C, Dear Sirs: Now, may be, you can't get the goods; if you can, your fortune is made. Cotton cloth they call it mus lin some parts at about the usual price per yard, but wider, twice as wide as some, and bet ter, keeps white and whole a surprising time in all sorts of wear. You could sell that cloth for hundreds of miles; there 'd be no limit. A yard goes further; one buys less yards. Wears-longer; one buys less often. It always looks right till well worn-out. No one customer buys so much of it, but think of the number of custom ers! May be you can't get it in cloth: but, you can in paint: Devoe. Devoe is as if it were wider; a gallon goes further; you buy less gallons; you pay for less gallons; you pay for painting less gallons as if one paid less for making a garment of that wide cloth-and it keeps its fresh look and sheds water till you have forgotten how old it is. It isn't true in cloth, but it is in paint: the less you pay, the bet ter it is; for the goodness of paint is reckoned by gallons; less gal lons, more goodness- Goodness in paint is strength. The stronger a paint, the less gallons it takes for a job and the longer it wears. Yours truly 3 F. W. DEVOE & CO New York P. S. McAllister Hardware Co., sells our paint. Two young people from S.

There are many things that make a college town different from any other town, especially when the college forms the nu cleus of the town and different in te rests of the town are deiwndent in a great measure upon the col lege. While there are n numbe or independent enterprises in Wake Forest still the whole town is affected in a way by the col lege. Forrestville, tw6 miles south of this place, was, before the college was built here, the railroad station for all this com munity. For several years after the college was founded the mail was addressed to Forrestville and had to be brought here by hand, the trains not stopping at this place. Finally, however, the college grew till a station was establish ed here and the trains stopped. People moved here from Forrest ville and this became the larger of the two towns. A few years ago the switch was moved from Forrestville, the freight depot abolished and now it is only a nag station. The many Interesting things of this town would make a history worth reading and when one be gins to talk of the village many things come into his mind- There is a fight on between the washerwomen and the students. There isn't muc h said among the outsiders but there is a good deal of talking and thinking among the students themselves. Ihree years ago a student could get his washing done for fifty cents and the women seemed glad to do it at this price. Since then the women have organized a sort of labor organization and the cheap est washing per man is now one dollar,25 cents a wet k Of course wood and oi,her requisites in the way of corn and bacon have ad vanced in price, but the students feel that the colored women have formed an organization to get all they can out of the boys. The washing is no doubt worth a dol lar a week, and would cost more in some places, but the boys say, the principal of the thing," and the negroes are so iijdtp"dent. Accordingly the different repre sentatives of steam laundries are having their laundries quote prices for the work. The coloied cooks of the vil li.tf are ais- orrnzed and ! a.' p" ihYd li-iurs to Mork. Eacli ...c -s-'i.-r t'i:s 'o let her co.il . ii or or the coo1' .1 ior her and the .nee-. . t.i.'.t s;ie wi'l not get oi,h if- suiii-i havt been im porter from the country but public sentiment among the col ored population caused them to jine" the organization. Your cor res pon dent was told last year just before commence ment that the negro cooks were planning for a strike. It wis a trial not to say something of it ir the papers at the time but a fear that the negroes had not thought of doing such a thing, but might f it was suggested, caused the correspondent to hold his peace. A great many visitors come here commencement week, many of them remaining more tnan the one weeK and it is necessary ior housewives to have help in the kitchen. The negro women re alize this and there was much uneasiness when a strike or sus pension of wock was thought of just before commencement. .Union Meeting.
