ABOUT CONFEDERATE FLAG.
The Stirs and Bars, the First Oftlcially
Adopted Confederate Fhg Raised on
North Carolina Soil Designed by a
Resident of Henderson, Capt. O. R.
Smith.
In a recent issue of the Daily Mirror
ami American , of Lancaster, New
Hampshire, there was an interesting
article on "Flars of the Confederacy,"
by ex-llepresentative P. D.Harrison,
of that place, in which a venerable
and most estimable gentleman now
resident of Henderson, figures con-
smcuousiv. e ieier ro taw. urren
Randolph Smith, a veteran of both
the Mexican and Civil wars.
The fact may not lie "renerallv
known but it was Cunt. Smith who
designed the flar Stars and Bars
of the Confederacy and the story of
the design i iii? of the flajr and other
kindred incidents are most interest
ingly told in the Mirror aud A rneri-
in as follows:
Ex-Kepresentative P. I). Harrison,
who, as is well known, lias devoted a
grent deal of time and made exten
sive researches dunnr the last three
years into the subject of flajs, makes
the following interesting: contribu
tion on the subject of Confederate
Hags:
Shortly after the organization of
the Southern Confederacy, which oc
curred on the 4th of February, 1S(1,
at Montgomery, Alabama, adver
tisements appeared in the newspa
pers asking for designs of flags, that
were to be submitted to a committee
that had been appointed to make a
select ion of an emblem for the Con
federate States of America.
In response to this announcement
in the presssomething Kike a hundred
and thirty designs were sent from
different sections of the South, some
coming by mail, others were brought
on horseback, and a few were pre
sented by those who came on foot.
The designs represented a great va
riety of ideas as to what a National
flag should b?, but the committee
chose the one composed of three
stripes, two red and one white, and a
blue field bearing seven white stars
in a circle, one star lor each State
that had up to that time seceded.
This design, about a foot long, which
was made of bunting, was devised hy
Oi ren Randolph Smit h, of Louisburg,
North Carolina, and sent by mail to
Montgomery.
This flag, known as the '"Stars and
Bars." was first displayed on March
4th, 1801, (the day Lincoln was in
augurated President) over the State
House in Montgomery, and adopted
the next day by the Confederate Con
gress.
I he following is a description of
this flag: "The flag of the Confeder
ate States of America shall consist of
a red field, with a white space extend
ing horizontally through the center
and. equal in width to one-third the
width of the flag, the red spaces
above and below to be of the same
width as the white, the Union blue,
extending clown through the white
space and stopping at the lower red
space, in the center of the Union a
circle of white stars corresponding in
number with the States of the Con
federacy." On Saturday, March 1G, 1861, Mr.
Smith learned that his design had
been adopted and on the following
day tie, with the assistance of Miss
Katherine Rebecca Murphy, made a
flag in accordance with his model,
and while they sewed Miss Sallie
Anne Murphj played "Dixie" and
other Southern songs. Early on
Monday morning Mr. Smith raised
this flag in Louisburg, it being the
first Confederate flag displayed in
Nortli Carolina. This was about
two months before the ordinance of
secession was adopted by that State,
that action occurring on the 20th of
May.
On account of the similarity of the
"Stars and Bars" and the "Stars and
Stripes" (it being difficult to distin
guishone from the other in the smoke
of battle) after tfie battle of Bull's
Run, July 21, 18G1, Gen. P. G. T.
Beauregard urged a change. He and
Gen. Joseph E. Johnson selected
what was known as the"Battle Flag,"
which was in use East of the Missis
sippi (the only exception being Gen.
Clereburn's brigade, which had a flag
of its own) until the close of the
war. .
This flag came into use in Septem
ber, 18(51, the design being one de
vised by Col. W. P. Miles that he had
submitted to the Confederate Con
gress previous to the adoption of the
'Stars and Bars." The "Southern
Cross," as this flag became to be
known, had a red ground with a blue
diagonal (St. Andrew's) cross em
blazoned with white stars, one for
eaen seeecieu state.
The first design bearing the objec
tion of resemblance to the stars and
stripes and the battle flag having no
reverse, a selection for a National
emblem was made to consist of a
white flag with a broad blue band in
its centre, which was amended by in
sertimr the battle flag design as the
Union, with a plain ground for the
field. The Confederate Congress
adopted this flag on May 1st, 18G2,
but it' was not acceptable, as the
large white field gave it a strong re
semblance of truce; and another
chanjre was made.
On the 4th of March, 18G3, a Na
tional flue was adopted by the Con
federate Congress, and is described as
follows
"The width two-thirds of its length,
with the Union now used as a battle
flag; to be in width three-fifths of the
width of the flag and so proportioned
as to leave the length of the field on
the side of the Union twice the width
below it, to have a ground of red and
blue saltier thereun, bordered with
white and emblazoned with mullets
or five pointed stars, corresponding
in number to'that of the Confederate
States; the field to be of white-, except
the outer half from the Union, which
shall be a red bar, extending the width
of the flag." With the red bar across
wvim.jv--. rp ,
the end it could not be mistaken for
a flag of truce.
The "Stars and Bars" had seven
stars in the Union, to correspond to
the number of States that had se
ceded up to the time of their adop
tion, but the flags that followed them
had thirteen stars, which was unwar
ranted, as but eleven States paased
ordinances of secession.
Beside the officially adopted flags
a considerable number of other de
signs were made and displayed before
and during the war, particularly in
the earlier months. The first seces
sion flag was raised in Charleston,
S. C, on the 21st of December, 1800,
the (Jay following the secession of the
State of South Carolina. This flag,
which was made by the ladies of
Charleston, was turkev red in color,
emblazoned with a white star and
crescent in the upper left hand earner.
It was given to the blockade runner
Dixie, which was captured in the
spring of 18G3, and Henry D. Hand,
an under officer on the United States
ship Keystone, hauled the flag down,
and his commander gave him per
mission to retain it. It is believed
that some member of Capt. Henry
Hand's family, whose home was in
New Jersey, is now in possession of
that flag.
The "Bonnie Blue Flag," the sub
ject of the popular Southern song of
that name, was presented by Mrs.
H. H. Smythe, of Jackson, Miss.,'to
William S. Barry, president of the
convention that adopted the ordi
nance of secession at Jackson, Miss.,
on the 9th of January, 1861. Recent
inquiries relative to the present
whereabouts of that flag have ap
peared in the Southern press.
Many favored the adoption of the
Bonnie Blue Flag as the National
emblem.
The Confederate flag that was
raised over the Marshall house in
Alexandria, Va., on April 17, 1861,
and whose hauling down, on the 23rd
of May, led to the death of Colonel
Ellsworth and of Jackson, proprietor
of that hostelry, was made by Mrs.
Libby Ann Padgett, who died in
September, 1002. : This flag and the
uniform worn by Colonel Ellsworth
are in the State House, Albany, New
York. Other Confederate flags with
historical associations, might be
mentioned.
Orren Raudolph Smith, who de
signed the 'Stars and Bars," wa-s
born in Warren county, North Caro
lina, on the 18th of December, 1827,
and is now living in Henderson, N. C.
He served during the Mexican war,
was in Utah in 1857-'58 with Albert
Sidney Johnson, and fought under
his own Stars and Bars and other
Confederate emblems.
Mr. Smith delights to salute the
Stars and Stripes and repeat the fol
lowing toast, which .is very popular
with former Confederate soldiers:
"Under this flag we once fought and it was
victorious;
Against this flag we once fought and it was
victorious;
Again it is our flag may it ever he victori
ous. "
A water color painting of the four
officially adopted Confederate flags
and two photographs of Orren Ran
dolph Smith are on exhibition in
Goodman's book store. The picture
was painted by Miss Jessica Randolph
Smith, daugliterX)f O. R. Smith, and
presented to P. D. Harrison.
FOUND LOST MONEY.
Would Not Restore It to the Owner
and Gets Into Trouble In Conse
quence. Some people have an idea that
when they find an article that has
been lost it belongs to them, that
they are under no obligation, moral
or legal, to restore it to the owner.
This is wrong and no honest person
believes to the contrary. The dis
honest person who finds money or
any other article of value needs no
stretch of the imagination to make
him feel that it is rightfully his and
he says nothing about the find and
appropriates it to his own use with
out making an effort to find the loser.
But such person is as surely a thief
and as guilty as if he had stolen the
property of another in some other
way. And he is just as liable to get
himself into the toils of the law if the
facts become known.
These remarks are suggested bv an
article in the Reidsville Weekly, and
are here submitted because there have
been several losses of money and
other valuables in Henderson lately
from which nothing has ever been
heard. Following is the article from
the Weekly:
bout a week ago Mr. Robt. Xeal who
lives near Gentry, on the road leading
from Madison to Greensboro, went to
Stokesdale to tee about buying some
land, taking with him between $G50and
$ G73 in money for that purpose. . Upon
arriving at his destination he discovered
that he had lost the money, which he
put either in his hip or side pocket. Dil
igent search was made for the lost pock
et-book, Mr. Neal exhausting every effort
to locate it, employing searchers to ex
amine the route he traversed closely, and
having posters printed and distributed
offering a reward for the recovery of his
property.
Later he remembered meeting an old
man by the name of Rank Huffines as he
was going to Stokesdale, and his son re
called seeing the old man acting in a sus
picious manner soon afterwards. Fol
lowing up this clue Mr. Xeal found that
Frank Huffines, a son of old man Huf
fines, and his wife had left for parts un
known. Ho finally located them in Dan
ville, and Chief Gardner, of this place,
went to that city and had them arrested.
Young Huffines was searched and $ 262.
84 in money was found on his person. He
admitted the money wa not his, but
said he found it in a bureau drawer at
home. They were brought to Reidsville
for trial.
Tuesday officers Lambeth and Joyce
went out to old man Huffines' to inves
tigate the matter further. The old man
denied any knowledge whatever of the
monev and invited the officers to search
his house to their heart's content. After
Jooking-the house. over pretty well, they
fold him thev had a warrant for him and
harSn-onld have
to come witn tnem to
Reidsville, whereupon the old man's wife

the money, he had better tell it. The old
man then showed the officers a ball of
yarn, which they had handled, not sus
pecting anything wrong with it, but
when it was unwound, lo and behold!
$ 220 in paper money was revealed. The
officers pressed him to tell all he knew
and he directed them to a pile of bed
quilts, in which $ 120 in gold coin was
concealed. He said he would have made
a clean breast of it at first, but his son
Frank left the money with him and
threatened his life if he told anything.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.
The Key to Success and Wealth No
table Instances of Men Who Have
Achieved Fameand FortuneThrough
the Agency of Printers' Ink.
Saturday Evening Post.
Of men who have grown rich
through advertising there are scores
to be found in every city, almost in
every town. With few excepitons,
almost every industry in the land is
dependent on proper advertising for
success. And this is getting to be the
case to a greater extent everyyear.
Hiveu the Standard Uu Company,
notorious lor its antiquated meth
ods, is going into the field. Not long
ago the company spent over .$200,
000 advertising the virtues of oil
stoves for cooking and heating, to
stimulate the demand for kerosene.
The coal strike last year taxed the
oetroleum suddIv to such an extent
that the Standard did not repeat the
experiment, which, it is said, was
found very satisfactory. Some of its
by-products, like paraffine wax and
candles, axle grease, lubricating oil,
and so forth, are advertised regular
ly, but in a small way compared
to the advertising of some of the
other big trusts. It is confidently
prophesied, however, that the time is
in sight when the Standard Oil Co.
will spend a million dollars a year to
push its products, as some other
great combinations are doing.
the United States Steel Company
since its organization has spent
probably three times as much for ad
vertising as was spent before consol
idation by its constituent companies.
One of , its branches, the American
Steel and Wire Company, has gone
into practically every agricultural
paper in the country advertising its
wire fencing. The National Biscuit
Company last year spent in the neigh
borhood of a million and a quarter
dollars, and the American Tobacco
Company about as much. '
Railroad advertising has grown by
successive stages until today it ranks
among the most- important in the
land. The fifteen leading railroads of
the country spent in 1901 over $ 2,
000,000, and it is expected that the
annual reports for 1902 will show a
very large increase over this. Aeom-
fiaratively few years ago there was
it tie or no railroad advertising in
the ordinary sense. The New.York
Central led the way when George H.
Daniels became its general passenger
agent, and the other great roads
were not slow to follow suit. , .
The entire industrial system of the
country is being modified .by the
power of advertising. -The. middle
man, the jobber, is being more and
more eliminated, and the producer is
going direct to the consumer. This
would have been practically impossi
ble without the modern use of print
ers' ink. The story of P. D. Armour's
first venture in advertising illustrates
this fact very aptly. In the days be
fore food staples were advertised in
the public prints, and that was only
about twenty years ago, Lord and
Thomas, the Chicago advertising
agents, began a campaign against
Mr. Armour. They kept at it for
years without success, putting up in
the mean time with some very pretty
brushes of temper, for Mr. Armour
was not soft spoken when he wished
to get rid of any one..- But one day
Mr. Lord found his opportunity and
made the most of it. Mr. Armour was
in his private office when Mr. Lord
was shown in." His reception was not
particularTj' warm, but an advertis
ing agent is used to perseverance in
the face of discouragement, buoyed
by knowledge that he is the advance
agent of prosperity for all who will
listen , to nis counsel and follow his
instructions. There was the usual
argument between Mr. Armour and
Mr. Lord which was about to end in
the usual way, when the packer in
cautiously went beyond his depth by
saying:
"Armour & Co. don't hare to ad
vertise. Our goods are known and
appreciated by every man in the
trade."
"So they are, Mr. Armour, but they
are not known by the consumers."
"What difference does that make
as long as the jobber and retailer
know and sell them?"
"It makes this difference: A woman
comes into a grocery 6tore to buy
beef extract. You make a good beef
extract, but she never heard of it be
cause you have not advertised it.
She has heard of some other kind
which has been advertised, and she
naturally asks for it. The grocer at
first may try to push your product,
but he'll soon grow tired of that, for
the woman doesn't know it and
doesn't want it. Do you think that
grocer is going to wear out his gray
matter for you? Not much. He's
going to give that woman and all
other customers what they want.
Your extract is going to lie on his
shelf until the wrappers are soiled
and the stuff is unsaleable. Then you
have to replace it. What you want
to do is to educate the woman into
asking for Armour's extract. That
you can only do by advertising."
Mr. Armour, whose figure was large
and rotund, had a peculiar way of
sticking out his stomach and putting
his thumbs in his trousers pockets
when he became interested. He struck
this attitude soon after Mr. Lord got
his new lead, and remained perfectly
quiet until the advertising agent had
finished. Then he said:
"Young man, I believe you're right.
It's never been put to me in that light
before."
Mr. Lord walked out of the office
with a contract for f 10,000 the first
money ever spent by Armour & Co.
for printers' ink. "Last year the
firm spent in the neighborhood of
200,000.
This is often the course of advertis
ingit has fairly to be forced down
the throat of the man who afterwards
makes millions out of it and who
comes in the end to count it as the
greatest money-making machine un
der his control.

ashamed of it at times. We are not
now. Its makeup is attractive. In
a word, it has improved in every way.
This paper and Vharity and Children,
both edited by excellent men, always
get a reading at our hands. We are
helped by thera in several ways. One
stands for the orphans at Barium
Springs and theotlierfortheorphans
at Thomasville. A good way to help
the orphans- is to subscribe for these
two papers.

Atlanta Constitution.
A word once more to those com
munities that seem U think an edi
tor ought to be willing to publish a
paper just for the fun of seeing his
name at the head of the columns and
being invited to an occasional pic
nic. ' " ' .
Some time ago the Constitution re
produced a complaint from the
Clarkesville " Advertiser about the
grand jury presentments of Haber
sham county having been ordered
printed iu that paper at a price not
to exceed f 3. Think of it three
whole dollars! Not enough to pay
for setting t he type, except where the
editor sets his own type, has his own
garden and lets his wife take in sew
ing. Now comes the Winder Democrat
and complains that the city council
of that towu is "hard hearted," be
cause it has stopped the custom of
publishing the council proceedings
and paying therefor at a nominal
rate; m addition to levying for the
first time a special tax on newspa
pers. No, it isn't hard-hearteduess that
prompted the Winder council to do
this but simply short-sightedness.
It may be none bf the Constitution's
business to make suggestions to Win
der's councilman, or to the grand
"urymenof Habersham county about
low they shall run their local affairs;
but it is our business to protest
against such mistaken public policy
as this.
The average weekly editor usually
has his all invested in his newspaper
property. That investment gener
ally represents from one to two
thousand dollars. But it is worth
more to the town than five times the
amount invested in any other local
enterprise. As a rule the newspaper
represents to the outside world the
town itself. Poor paper, poor town,
is the usual verdict.
It is, therefore, to the interest of
every town to support a good news-
Eaper. Not through local pride alone
ut for practical business reasons. A
newspaper is constantly doing ten
times as much for its town as it could
ever hope to get pay for more than
it could charge for, if it would.
The more prosperous a paper is the
more it is able to do. Show us a
good weekly paper, full of live local
ads, with a general circulation
throughout the county and we will
show you an up-to-date, prosperous,
progressive community.
And we will also show you a paper
that is worth five times as much to
that community every year as the
editor manages to make for himself.
Show us a community that persist
ently proceeds on the idea that the
editor of the home paper can live on
the "pi" that accumulates in the
office; whose official bodies think it a
waste of public money to throw him
a bit of public printing occasionally
at living prices; whose citizens have
come to regard it as one of their in
alienable rights to work him for long
winded obituary notices and "in me
moriams," with three inches of
hymn book poetry at the end, to say
nothing of an occasional notice about
a lost cow or some cotton seed for
sale, and we will show you a com
munity that is living from hand to
mouth and is always on the ragged
edge of adversity.
People ought to stop to think
about these thing. It is an impor
tant matter. It is their own good
that is involved the welfare and
irogress of their community; there
ore of themselves individually.
A local newspaper is absolutely
necessary to any community. It mav
be that the daily papers, with their
larger news service aud quicker facil
ities, may have overshadowed the
weeklies; but the weeklies continue to
fill a place that the dailies can never
fill. If they keep thepeople of acorn
munity in touch with each other by
giving them the news of their town
and county, for that alone they are
of value and are worth far more than
the dollar a year that is usually
charged for them. If they merely
chronicle the progress of the com
munity and keep the local pride and
progressive spirit aroused they are
worth still more far more, in fact,
than the town ever spends on them.
- liear this in mind: - No merchant,
nT grand jury, no town council that
spends every year all that they can
afford with the home paper whether
that expenditure is actually neces
sary or not makes a winer, more
profitable investment. - Thev are
not "giving'.' the home. paper Some
thing. On the contrary it w earning
every cent it gets and more pro
vided it is a paper that is worth pick
ing up in the road- And if it isn't
that sort of paper.it is usually the
fault of the town m which it is pub
lished. . . : . .. :

The
Problem of a
Tired Mother
One of the marvels of our time
is the way in which the average
mother carries all the burdens of
social, benevolent, church and
family life.
It's no jivonder that- nerve
troubles attack the mother- how
can s .she - help being nervous,
especially while the little ones are
so troublesome ?
No woman can- endure the
strain of her housework and two
or three little ones unless her
digestive powers are unusually
good. She can't manufacture force
enough to stand the strain.
We can suggest one thing that
will surely help her, and it isn't a
drug poison cither. It is VinoJ,
made by a new process from that
wonderful remedy, cod liver oil ;
it's a true tonic
Vinol is pleasant to taste, goes
right to the spot," nourishes and
helps the food to nourish, is splen
did for nursing mothers and all
tired out home helpers. I have
found it safe and good for ailing
children. With Vinlax to correct
the constipation, it has put whole
families in this place on the road t
to health. Used in time, it saves
nervous break-down. Your money
back if you don't find this true.
