Story of The Designing of
The Stars And Bars
By Theresa Meroney Thomas
Everyone is familiar with the
jstory of the designing of the flag
' of the United States by George
Washington, but compartively
few know the history of the cre
. ation of that other flag, cher
Ijished by all southerners, the
j’Stars and Bars’ of the Confe
deracy.
I Orren Randolph Smith, design
er of the Stars and Bars, was
| born in Warren county, North
■ Carolina, December 18, 1827, and
'spent his boyhood and young
' manhood in much the same
! rounds of duties and pleasures
jas other young men of his age
and period.
! At the age of twenty young
Orren Smith, born soldier that
he was, hearing the sound of bat
tle afar, became a member of
Co. “H” First Regiment, North
Carolina Volunteers in the war
with Mexico in 1847. In 1853
he was made captain, in the U.
S. Army, in Utah under Albert
Sidney Johnston. He was a mem
ber of Co. “B”, second North
Carolina battalion, C. S. A., and
jwas later made a major in the
commissary department with
headquarters in South Carolina.
| After a life of devoted service
■and loyalty to, first the United
States, then to the Confederacy,
and finally a nation once again
firmly united, he died oi: March
3, 1913, at Henderson, N. C.
In 1861 Orren Smith saw in
a newspaper an advertisement
that read “Flag Wanted.” Imme
diately he set to work on his idea
of what a flag should be. There
i were only seven stars on the ori
ginal model that was sent to
jMontgomery, Ala, but later four
more stars were added as other
states seceded. The model was
|completed and sent to the “Flag
Committee” at Montgomery on
Feb 12, 1861, and was adopted
by the Provisional Congress of
;the Southern States March 4,
1861. The flag was first official
ly raised over the Capitol at
I Montgomery on the day of its
adoption.
I This banner was used by the
Confederate forces for some
time but at a distance or in the
confusion of battle the two flags,
the “Stars and Bars” and the
“Stars and Stripes,” with their
: identical colors and somewhat
!similar designs, were easily mis
taken for one another. Therefore,
after the first battle of Bull Run,
Beauregard’s flag, which dis
played thirteen white stars on a
blue St. Andrew’s Cross super
imposed on a field of red, was
chosen as the official battle flag,
and was thereafter carried by
Confederate regiments in the
field.
In June, 1915, the claims of
the family and friends of Orren
Smith were investigated and ap
proved by the United Confeder
ate Veterans association at Rich
mond, Va., officially designat
ing him as the designer of the
first flag of the Confederacy. In
1917 the United Confederate Ve
terans appointed a committee
which reported at Tulsa, Akla.,
reunion, Sept. 25, 1918, that “Ma_
jor Orren Randolph Smith, of
North Carolina, was rightfully
; entitled to the honor of its con
ception, design and execution as
the original maker, designer and
originator.” The report of the
iSons of Confederate Veterans
in 1917 and the Stars and Barsj
committee both gave Major j
Smith full credit.
The story of the first flag is:
best told in Major Smith’s own
words. The following is the!
speech that he prepared in 1912
[when he hoped to present a
large silk flag to his old com
rades. His health failed and he
died in March, 1913. However,
the speech was read in 1915 at
the reunion at Richmond, Va.,1
by General Julian S. Carr, Com-,
mander of the North Carolina
division, U.C.V.:
‘Mr. Commander, Women of
the South, Friends all:
“Fifty-one years ago, North
Carolina gave to Dixie the first
National Flag of* the Confeder
ate States of America.
“The representatives of the
seven states which had seceded
were gathered at Montgomery,
Ala., when they decided to “Go
it alone’ if necessary and organ
ize a new country, with a new
flag. They formed a constitution
of the ‘Native White Citizens’,
and advertised for a flag.
“In 1S56, I was living at]
Warren, Ohio, the headquarters
of the underground railroad, and
from that time, I kept in touch
with all the great events that
forced us into the war. I was an
original secessionist.
“Having been with Taylor in
1846-48, in that war that gave
the Southwest, from the Rio
Grande to the Pacific, to the
United States, and with Albert
Sidney Johnston, in Utah in
1858, I knew that a soldier’s
flag should have the deepest,
truest significance, not be sim
ply a blending of bright colors.
His flag is his inspiration. It
stands for HOME. KINDRED,
AND COUNTRY. It has so
much meaning to me, I hoped
my flag would tell its story to
all who saw it. So when I read
the advertisement, ‘Flag Wanted’
I was ready.
“In 1861, 1 was living in Lou

old friend, Miss Becky Murphy
(now Mrs. \\ . B. \\ inborn, of
Winston, N. C.), and asked her
to put the stitches in a little flag
for me, and I tore the Bars and
cut the Stars while she sewed.
“The idea of my flag I took
from Trinity. Three in One. The
three bars were State, Church,
and Press. _ j
Red represented State: Legis-,
lative, Judiciary and Executive;.
White for Church, Father, Sonj
and Holy Ghost; Red of Press,
Freedom of Speech, Freedom of
Conscience, Liberty of Press, all,
bound together by a field of
blue, the heavens over all, bear-,
ing a star for each state in the
Confederation. The seven stars,';
all the same size, were placed,
in a circle, showing that each
state had equal rights and privi-,
leges, irrespective of size or po
pulation. The circle having nei
ther head nor foot, signified ‘you
defend Me and I’ll protect you.'
_ « « , • 1_
II you naa uecu m my
would you not have wanted one
of your flags to float in the
breeze, whether the ‘flag commit
tee’ accepted your design or not,
when you had given so much
time and thought, the best that’
was in you?
After the model was gone I
asked Miss Murphy to make me
a large flag, nine by twelve feet,
and it was on Monday, March
the eighteenth, 1861, that I rai
sed this large flag of to the top
of the pole one hundred feet
high, on the corner of the court
house square, in Louisburg, the
county seat of Franklin, North
Carolina.
“The dress goods for both mo
del and large flag I bought from
Barrow’s store, and the two men
that helped me the most and were
the most interested in the flags,
were W. J. Green, Colonel C. S.
A., and Algy Strothers, now liv
ing in Louisburg.
“The pole I mabe by splicing
two saplings, gotten from my
mother’s plantation, five miles
from town.
“Over the large flag I had a
long blue streamer, such as an
admiral uses on his ship when
homeward bound, and on this I
had a star for the North State,
for though she did not secede un
til May 20, I knew she was
‘Homeward Bound.’
“March 18th, 1861, was a great
day for Louisburg, the town was
filled with people from miles
around.
I his is the story of the ‘old
Secesh Flag,’ the Stars and Bars,
the flag that led the men in gray
through the most difficult war
fare and against the greatest
odds ever told of in history.
“This was the first national
flag, and, until after Manassas,
when it was decided to use Beau
regard’s flag in battle, it was the
only flag of the Confederates
States of America.
"It is the flag the United Dau
ghters of the Confederacy have
honored above all others, it will
never be furled as long as there
is a “Daughter” to wear her ‘U.
D. C.’ badge, and to keep alive
the ‘Stars and Bars’.
“Today it leads the Southern
Memorial association and “The
Daughters’ in all their great bat
tles for the right, raising monu
ments to our dead comrades at
Shiloh, Arlington, Gettysburg
and all over the country where
lie those who gave their lives for
our cause, and by meeting with us
upon such occasions as this, they
bring to us, 'the days of pleasant
ness and peace.’
“Women of the South, You
Southern Queens, Queens of the
World, did you know that the
corner stone of your great or
ganization, as well as your badge
was a gift of the Old North
State? It is true.
“ 1 he corner stone was laid
when the women of \\ arren
county (all men were at the
front’) began their monument to
mark the grave of Anne Carter^
Lee, daughter
chieftain, who dijfd at Jones’
Springs, 1862.
“James Barron Hope was the
orator of the day. The monu
ment was of Warren county gra
nite, carved by a Warren county
man detailed for this work, and
the finishing touch, placing the
capstone in position was done
by the Warren county man be
fore you.
The South had more to do with
the making of the Stars and Stri
pes than did the North. We, of
Dixie, love Old Glory. Did not
thousands of us march under her
folds in the war with Mexico,
ready to sacrifice ALL for her
honor and glory?
“That was why I wanted to
use her colors in the flag for
the South, i took the idea of
adding a star for each state that
joined the confederacy from that
ithcr southern man, Washington.
“We, people of Dixie, are ri
ohtre southern man, Washington.;
brings to us the blessed dreams
and memories of our youth, the
Stars and Bars, the other stands
for our country, to live for, if
need be to die for, the Stars and
Stripes.
“In the sixties, some Ameri
cans wore blue, some wore gray,
now all our boys wear khaki,
‘minute men’ ready—at their
country’s call.
“The Stars and Bars is Dix
ie’s flag alone. It is a precious
legacy, comrades, torn and bat
tered by shot and shell, darken
ed by the blood of our best and;
bravest. They gave their lives
that it may be “The Stainless
Banner.’’ In memory of the little
flag I sent to Montgomery, Feb
ruary, 1861, in memory of all
Health-Wrecking Functional
PAINS
Severe functional pains of
menstruation, cramping spells
and jangled nerves soon rob a
women of her natural, youth
ful freshness. PAIN lines in
a woman’s face too often grow
into AGE lines!
Thousands of women have
found it helpful to take Car
dui. They say it seemed to
ease their pains and they no
ticed an increase in their ap
petites and finally a strength
ened resistance to the dis
comfort cf monthly periods.

I
that it means to me, I give this
flag, Mr. Commandet, to you,
will you take it in your hands for
my old comrades? May I hope
that it will be used at future re
unions ? Comrades, wherever you
see this flag, won’t you give a
thought to the old, old man, gray
of head as well as of uniform,
who gave it, the best of his heart
and brain, to you.
“When the man whom North
Carolina, from Currituck to
Cherokee, loves, honors and re
veres, that man among millions,
our Jule Carr, introduced me at
the reunion at Norfolk as the
man through whom the Old
Bars to the Confederacy, I told
the story as I have today. I may
never tell it again, and though
I did not die by shot or shell, I
have tried to live, that it may be
truly said, when I answer our
Great Captain’s call, ‘Dead on
the field of honor.’
“Comrades, I wish I could
once more hear the old rebel yell,
for my flag, your flag, our flag
the Stars and Bars,
‘Orren Randolph Smith”.
On November 16, 1920, a
tablet was dedicated at Calvery
Episcopal church, Fletcher, N. C.
to the memory of Major Smith.
Of the many poems inspired
by Orren Smith and his flag one
written by Virginia Frazer Boy
le, poet laureat, U. C. V. assoc
iation, seems to symbolize Major
Smith’s own feeling for his flag:
“They were wanting a flag at
Montgomery,
A standard, a truth—not a
myth:
And down from the blue of his
mountains,
He answered—the young Orren
Smith.”
New 'vl Trades Of The
Photoelectric Cell
By James D. Purdy
Director, Schools of Electrical ;

A N electric eye standing guard
^ against smugglers is one of the
unusual features of the new Free
Port on Staten Island, New York.
A 1000-watt light casts its beam
across 2700 feet of water to a photo
electric cell at the opposite side of
■fce entrance to the port. A launch or
vessel crossing the beam arid
shutting off the light from the cell,
sets off a siren and causes the ring
ing of a bell to warn the custom
guards on duty.
* <c $
The photoelectric cell has been
called into play to prevent lightning
from interrupting the broadcasting
of radio program's. If lightning
strikes the antenna tower the flash
is caught by a photoelectric cell
trained on a discharge gap at the
base of the tower The cell sets up
an impulse which through a compli
cated mechanism shuts off the trans
mitter’s power for a split second,
preventing the station’s power from
being drained off into the earth, as
would otherwise occur. The interrup
tion is so brief that it is imper
ceptible to the radio audience.
* * *
A new type metal-working lathe
has been developed abroad, which J
fs controlled by a photoelectric cell
and is said to be capable of pro- j
during objects as shown by a draw
ing, without the intervention of the
human hand. After the machine has
been adjusted, the cell scans the
drawing and automatically produces
the object in the indicated shape and
dimensions.
* * *
The stars and a photoelectric cell
are utilized to regulate with abso
lute accuracy a new electronic clock
installed for the Pope In Castle
Gondolfo. When a certain star comes
into the focus of the cell placed at
the base of an astronomical tele
scope, the light of the star causes
the cell to set up an impulse which
corrects any slight inaccuracy in
the clock's timing.
