A CONTEST PROMISED.
Kansas Democrats, Too. Divided on Oh
Issue OF Free Silver.

Kansas Democrats, Too, Divided on the
lrsue OF Free silver.
TOrEKA, Kan.. April aa-Tho Kan
sas democrats will hold their county
conventions within the next three
weeks for the election Of delegates to
the state convention ut Topeka on June
.. There is fight in nearly every
county between the gold standard and
free silver factions Of the party for
control, aud It looks rs IL the finan-
cial question will be made an
issue in the state convention.
Tho opinion was expressed by
some ut the last meeting Of the state
central committee that q compromise
would be effected whereby delegates
could be chosen without reference 10
their views about money, but there Is
little prospect now that this will be
done. The leaders on each side are de-
termined to have their own way, and a
battle to finish Is expected.

Tho South is beginning to devote
less OF her time to agriculture and to
take deeper interest in manufacture
ing pursuits. Maryland has led the
column of Southern States, but Georgia
is only short distance behind. Ac-
cording to the census of 1890 Mary
lands manufacturing interests en-
bIacei over two hundred industries,
including 7487 plants, with q capital
aggregating S119, ,667, ,3l6, hands en-
ployed 107,O54 and wages earned
amounting to SAL, ,526, ,832 annually.
The product of these industries is esti-
mated at something in the neighbor-
hood of Sl72, 100000. Tho clothing
manufacturers in Baltimore alone pay
over SO, 900, 900 year in wages and
yield a product of $40, 100000. These
figures arc based upon the returns for
1890. Since that time the manufac-
turing interests of tho State have con-
siderably increased.

His idea was simple and convenient,
however great the number of States

the stripes be reduced to the former
number of thirteen and always remain
SO, while the stars be made as numer-
GUS as the States comprising the
Union. On April 4, 1918, this plan
was adopted by Congress, and the
first flag under the new idea was made
by Captain Reid's wife.
GRAVE OF FATHER OF THE FLAG.
A point of interest that may not be
generally known is that Captain Reid
lies buried in Greenwood Cemetery,
Brooklyn. His grave is plot 49, 10S,
near Cypress avenue and Zephyr
path, but the little mound is un-
marked by even the simplest head.
stone. Congress- however, did, last
year, grant an appropriation to place
a suitable monument over the grave.
Captain Reid was one of Americas
tue naval heroes, and he was famous
in his day as the intrepid commander
of the privateer General Armstrong,
which fought a desperate battle
against three English gunboats in
Fayal Roads, Azores Islands, Septem-
ber 26, 1914. The naval battle lasted
the greater part of two days, but Cap
tain Reid, by the exercise of rare
skill and judgment against his power
full adversaries, finally defeated them
with great loss.
After the war of 1912 he was Har-
Dor Master and Port Warden of the
Port of New York. He died in 1861.
Previous to the adoption of reg
ular United States flag in 1777, there
was a wide variety of banners and de-
vices used by the different detach-
ments of Colonial troops. One of the
most famous of these flags and one
used largely by the Massachusetts,
patriots was the rattlesnake flag with
its warning words, "Don't Tread OF
Me-" The snake was sometimes rep
resented as cut into thirteen pieces
and supplemented with the words
"Join or Die" The color of the flag
was yellow and the rattlesnake black.
The yellow is said to have been sug-
gested by the quarantine flag of Great
Britain, indicative of plague, and the
yellow color and the venomous rattle
snakes were meant to be suggestive of
far greater danger than a plague to
whoever attacked it. Massachusetts
also had q special flag bearing the en-
blem of pine tree on a white field.
This sometimes bore the motto, "An
Appeal to Heaven" South Carolina
used the palmetto tree as its flag en-
blem, and i. was one of these palmetto
tree flags that waved so defantly from
Fort Moultrie, June 2S, 1776, when
the British made a savage attack upon
that place.
