The State Flag.

To the Editor: Twas much impressed
with an article published in last Sun
days issue of the News and Observer
relating to the State flag, and am sure
that all true North Carolinians will re-
echo the sentiment expressed therein
but beg to differ when it is stated that
only one school has shown a proper de-
gree of patriotism for the State and her
flag. Doubtless many will recall an en-
tertainment at the School for the Blind
in January 1901, complimentary to our
Governor and General Assembly.
One feature of the evening was the
New Century Drill, and as l have been
requested to give an outline of this eX-
ercise of the evening, will do so as
briefly as possible. The exercise to
which | refer was an intricate drill
composed of girls in the physical Gull
turc department for girls. Many figures
were formed, among others five point
ed star and Maltese Cross. 1t was thor
oughly patriotic and designed especially
for the occasion by their teacher. Caro-
lima. Columbia and Justice being repre-
scented. Carolina wit hone bright star
upon her forehead, the horn of plenty al
her side, and carrying the State flag
was the most prominent figure. She
was accompanied by little girls in white
carrying white flags. They were greet
ed by the strains of the "Old North
State and We're met by Columbia and
Justice, escorted through lines of Unit
ed States flags to front.
Kipling's Recessional, Lord God of
Hosts be with us yet, lest we forget,
lest we forget" was rendered in a beau
tiful and impressive manner by Miss
Woodell and her cass. Another feature
of the drill was the department of the
red. white and blue; red twining around
Justice, blue around Columbia, and
white around Carolina in center holding
State flag, thus forming three spirals.
All unwound and marched out to the
strains of Dixieland. We regret that it
should have been so soon forgotten by
some Glad the attention of the public
is being drawn to this most important
subject patriotism and heartily agree
with Mai Dawes in wishing that fitting
demonstrations of the love and devotion
of our State and her flag be evinced by
her sons and daughters. Never let it be
thought for a mmoent that our patriot
ism sburied. OF what are our monu-
ments an emblem? Fidelity though
plundered, Inundated and saddened by
bitter trials yet does the spirit of the
patriot dwell within us, needing only a
spark to rekindle into brightest flames
the slumbering smoldering fire which
will ever burn of all true southern men
and women. Our fathers olved it, suf-
fered and died for it. We can but show
our appreciation of their patriotism by
fitting ceremonies in commemoration of
the past an dlcyalty to the present.
Respectfully,
MRS. H. HARLLEE.

The Law Suit From New Castle.

A large portion of the citizens CT New
Castle township and the Western part
of Yadkin county were here last week
attending the trial before Chief Justice
Staley. 1t is a pretty badly mixed UP
affair, too. Some So or 40 people are
indicted for shooting into Tom Mar
shall's house some months ago. The
same fellows are also indicted for re-
sisting officers. Six of them, Ed. Nc
Bride, Wiley Wellborn, James Shore,
Robert Wellborn, and Clint Shore, were
tried before Mr.. Staley Friday and
bound over to court. They all gave
bond except Ed. Mcbride, who was put
in Jail. These were bound over on the
charge of resisting officers. The other
case was sworn off from Judge Staley.
and set TO be heard before Esq. James
here the 4th of December. 1t will be

a large and successful business. They
then began selling by wholesale, having
travelling representatives in all sections
of the State.
In 1894 Mr.. julius Lewis, after giving
thirty years of his time and thought and
wisdom in building up the great business,
withdrew from the firm, and Mr.. Charles
B. Hart and Mr. Frank T. Ward, who
had been employed in important and re-
sponSible positions in the business, were
taken in as partners, and the name
changed to the julius Lewis Hardware

HISTORY OF THE FIRM.
This firm is the real successor of the
hardware business that was established
in New Bern by Messrs. c. A. Hart and
Julius Lewis prior to the War Between
the States. After the capture of New
Bern, Mr.. C. A. Hart, member of the
firm concluded to start branch store in
Raleigh. At that time-about 1866
Sherman's army had control OF Raleigh,
and it was very hard to get stores in
