UNVEIL FOUNTAIN TO DESIGN ER OF CONFEDERATE FLAG Majy Own Handoiptr Sasith Haaar ea at Louis burg—A. McLean Louis burg—A Speaker of the Lduisburg, Sept. 1$,—Sixty-two years after, on the very spot where he raised the first Confederate flag, designed by himself, and accepted as official by the Confederate Congress, the North Carolina Daughters of the CaPfedUracy Raised a memorial to Major Orren Randolph Smith in the courthouse square here today, a hand some drinking fountain done in gran ite. __ Although Louisburg and Franklin county have known always that it was Major Smith who designed the first flag, and Betsy Murphy Winbome who executed it for him, there has been bitter controversy about it, and other claimants for the honor. Not ! until these matters were finally and officially settled did plans for the memorial take definite form. And if anything, the long delay served to heighten the fervor with which Franklin county tamed out today to play the host to scores of visiting Da ^rhters and to do honor to the son of Franklin long denied. Angus Wilton McLean did the ortori cal honors, the thinning line that fol lowed the major to battle under that banner raised the rebel yell again in his memory, end his last surviving brother unfurled a replica of that first flag. Three grandsons and one grand daughter of the distinguished Smith family tugged away the bunting that covered over the handsome granite fountain, and there it stands, facing the highway, an everlasting testimo nial to the historic fact that the flag under which a hundred thousand Tar Heels went out to battle was first raised there, and that Major Smith! whs its designer. Eloquent tribute was paid his me mory by Mr. McLean, who recounted many incidents of the major's life, his services in the Mexican War, in the campaign against the Mormons in Utah in 1857 while captain in the United States aAny, and of his four years of sacrifice and heroism after he had cast his lot with the destinies of the yourg Confederation of Sou thern Sta es.
