The Norfolk Virginiun-Pilot, unde
a two-column picture of the donor,
tells of the preventing of the color
of the Seventeenth North Carolina
Regiment by Mr. Wilson G. Lamb of
Williamson, well-known here, to the
State Hall of History, where it
now being exhibited as one of th
most valuable relics in the great col
loction. Mr. Lamb formerly kept the
flag in a glass case in his home.
Saved from surrender to the Fed
eral troops under General Sherman
near Greensboro in 1805, when it was
wrapped in the saddle blankets of
teamster, the flag passed into the
possession of the then Regimental
Adjutant Lamb and remained in his
care for half a century. When the
regiment surrendered to Sherman
Tteamster Thomas of the headquar
tera wagon told the adjutant he couh
save the colors by wrapping them
in the saddle blankets upon which he
rode when driving the wagon. With
the flag thus hidden. Lamb and the
driver passed through the Federal
army at Chapel Hill on their way
home, but were not examined.
The Seventeenth Regiment was In
the Army of Northern Virginia for
many months, serving there as a part
of the division of Major-General
Hoke, father of Mrs. W. I). Pollock
of Kinston, and one of the most prom
inent of his class of the generals in
the service. Later it was transferred
to this section and did efficient ser
vice at Wilmington, and on the bloody
Aeld at Wyse Fork near here. At
Bentonsville it withstood many furi
ous assaults by Sherman's men, and
being withdrawn by order of John
ston, retired to Smithfield depot, and,
passing through Raleigh, marched to
Center church, soon afterward sur
rendering.
NEW YORKERS DISCUSS
STATE TAX PROBLEM
BILL AT DIXIE THIS WEEK
IS PARTICULARLY GOOD.
tThe Glff Watson , Peerless Maids,
the vaudeville attraction at the Dixie
this week,- is very good, and many
who saw the Monday night perform
ance, say it ia the best company that
has played here on the "movie cir
cuit." Nick Reynolds' yodllng was so
appreciated that the audience insist
ed upon his returning aeveral times.
Those who are accustomed to attend
the performances at the Dixie know
mat encores are rarely necessary or I
Called for, and that fact alone at
tests the good work of Reynolds. The
house was crowded.
(By the United Press)
Albany, N. Y., Jan. 19. Immediate,
drastic and radical revision of the
state's tax laws was the keynote of
the fifth New York State Conference
en taxation which opened today. Men
representing all branches of state and
city government are here to aid the
conference In framing suggestions
which will undoubtedly be presented
to the legislature before adjournment.
Those attending the meeting feel
encouraged in their work by the ref
erence to the state's tax laws made by
Governor Whitman in his initial mes
sage to the legislature. All agree with
the governor that the tax laws as they
now stand are nothing but a patch
work, sadly in need of simplification.
SMALL YACHTS GO
ASHORE OFF SOUTHPORT
Southport, Jan. 18. Two little
yachts, southbound, were driven

ing station. One went to pieces; an
other is anchored just off shore. Each
had a crew of two men, these being
rescued by lifesavers.
Meeting of Representative Citizens
Held Monday Night to DImcuss
the Proposition, Endorsed the
Principles of the Plan.
The proposition to establish a home
for fallen women was given local im
petus Monday night at a called meet
inging of representative cititens of
the city held in the Baraca class room
of the Gordon Street Christian church,
Rev. G. B. Hanrahan. the pastor of
the Atkinson Memorial Presbyterian
church, presided. The McGeachy
bill, now pending before the General
Assembly, and which will have a
hearing Thursday, was not endorsed
or discussed at length because the
provisions of the bill were not known
to those present, no draft of it hav
ing been sent here. The principle in
volved was heartily endorsed and a
sub-committee was appointed to draft
resolutions setting forth the local in
terest and endorsement of the propo
sition in a general way. These reso
lutions will be prepared by the com
mittee, composed of Rev. G. B. Han
rahan, Messrs. John G. Dawson and
A. Herndon, and forwarded to Ra
leigh before the issue is drawn on
Thursday. If possible in the short
time allotted for arrangements to be
made for a delegation to go to Ra
leigh, the appointment of such a dele
gation was authorized and Chairman
Hanrahan will see to it that Kinston
is represented if he can secure a del
egation.
The discussion Monday night was
not of the sensational kind, but the
sentiment manifested clearly indicat
ed that there is a widespread interest
among Kinston people in this reform
matter, and that the need for a rem
edy for the vice problem, now threat
ening not only the young men, but
many of the homes of the people is
becoming more and more appreciated.

ALL EFFORTS TO SEARCH
OUT CRIME HAVE FAILED.
4Mn bnarp, coioreu, nan been re
leased from the county jail. He was
held for a couple of weeks by the
authorities in the belief that he had
committed a murder somewhere.
Sharp's actions were auspicious. A
Aegrosa , with whom he boarded de
clared she saw the ghosts of his vic
tims, seemingly two or three, tortur
ing him in his sleep, and heard Sharp
in his slumber talking of the crimes.
The authorities, however, took the
man to be the slayer of a Edgecombe
County farmer, who was murdered a
year or so ago. Later he was accus
ed of being Simon Jones, who killed
Edward Caho, colored, near Pink Hill,
In 1914. Evidence was had finally,
however, entirely disproving it, and
Sharp waa released.
