The Confederate Flag In Samoa.
From the South Pacific-frOm Sa-
moa-comes q curious, pathetic story of
devotion to the Lost Cause" and even
the least susceptible reader must WON
der who the unknown ex-confederate
was and what was his history. The
Samoans are experts at rowing and
satling-from which fact Bougainville,
the French discOverer, called their
since the advent OF the white man every
Samoan boat must have its flag. Just
what the flag represents Is not SO i'm
portant question. Sitting in the cool
Of his porch overlooking the bay one
afternoon during his term as Land
Commissioner, ex-Chief Justice Cham
bers of Samoa, saw a boat approaching
the shore flying a flag the sight of
which struck him at once with pecu-
liar interest 1t was none other than
the stars and bars of the Southern
Confederacy. What could 1t be doing,
wondered he, in the South Pacific
and so long after Appomattox? He
determined to learn the history of the
nag and get possession Of it. But,
meeting the boat as 1t landed. he found
the owner by no means willing to part
with his flag. The offer of the ''Ameri-
can chief" to buy it was promptly,
though very politely, declined. Then
the Justice tried a little diplomacy:
he took the boatman into a store and
bought for him a bolt of calico and
then a kit of mackerel-which delight
ed the Samoan, to whom they were
luxuries. But the native still insisted
that he could not part with his flag.
1T would not be right for me to give
1t to you." said he, in such a manner
as to show that some deep feeling in
volved.
But why? Where did you get 1t?
And why do you value it SO highly?"
asked Mr.. Chambers.
well. I will tell you," answered the
Samoan. "A long time ago a man came
to Samoa from far-off America
where you came from. He was not
sailor. but told me he had been a SOL
dler. He was my friend, and lived at
my house. But after a while he got
sick: and once he said to me:
'Tasi. look in my bag there and get
out my flag, and put it up on the wall
where I can see it.
Il did SO; and he would lie there and
look at it and look at 1t. Several days
afterward he grew worse. He called me
to him and said:
'Tsai. I am going to die am far
away from home and my people, This
nag is all I have in the world; you
have been my friend; I give it to you.
Keep it as long as you live. Don't give |
It to anybody-and whatever you do,
don't you ever let a Yankee have it,
mo, my chief. I cannot part with |
this flag-not till l die.

National Eacampmsnt st Cleveland.
The people of Cleveland will well
come the veterans with open arms to
the next national encampment. There
is no municipality in the United States
in which the veterans are held in high
er esteem and reverence. The work Of
preparing to receive and entertain the
Thirty-ffth National Encampment of
the Grand Army has reached a magni-
tude that impresses itself upon visitors

have surrounded themselves by a cap
able force of employees. The executive
committee engaged quarters in the
chamber of commerce building. The
suite contains twelve rooms, and occu-
pies nearly half of the Office space of
the fourth floor of the building. It
presents a pleasing scene of daily ac-

Observations On Southern H0rtlculture.
The question Of transportation OF
fruit Is the great one At present. In
northern Alabama and in some parts
Of southern Tennessee the strawberries
were rotting on the vines this spring
at time when they were selling for
Is cents per box in Chicago. They
had been picked to supply the local
demand till the prices fell to q point
where picking was no longer profit
able. The price was low because the
growers were virtually cut OF from 4
market. Within few hours from that
time. the writer was In Atlanta. where
berries were selling from wagons at
from z to IL cents per box. The
growers around Atlanta simply had
access to \ good market.
There are certain fruits better suit
ed to the sandy lands than others and
these only should be grown. We men
ton the peach and plum, the cherry
and the grape, and the Kieffer pear
At Southern Pines only two varieties
of grapes are being grown-the Del
aware and the Niagara. These two
varieties are best suited to the soil
and conditions mentioned. OF the two,
the Delaware probably stands at the
head. This Is due to the fact that 1t 10
less affected by grape diseases than
the other, and also to the fact that 1t
sells at a higher price In the market
The Delaware should be extensively
grown in the South, for It IL hard to
overstock the markets with this vari-
ETY.. The Niagara is profitable where
the marketing conditions are favor
able. Many of the other varieties OF
grapes require a stronger soil than

During the civil war;" said an ex-
army officer, 1.-The authorities for some
reason were anxious to move troops
up the Tombigbee river Word was
sent to the engineer in that district
asking what 1t would cost to run up
the Tombigbee. That Official got gay
and reported that TOmbigbee ran
down and not up, joke that promptly
landed his head in the basket, as the
matter was serious. At the lombard
ment Of Charleston it was extremely
desirable to bring to bear on the city
an extra heavy gun called by the men
Swamp Angel. The gun took its name
from the swamp in which it stood, and
to move 1t through that boggy morass
was an engineering feat of extreme diff
ficulty. However, the commanding Of
ficers were determined to have the gun
brought within range of Charleston
and issued orders to that effect. At the
same time sent word to the engineer
having the matter in charge to reu-
uisition without regard to trouble or
expense for anything necessary to ac-
complish The desired object. His first
requisition called for men rs feet 6
inches in height. Another officer
promptly took the matter in charge,
from which 1t can readily be deduced
that it is not a paying investment to
make jokes in the army at the expense
of your superi0rs.

This has not been formally promul-
gated by the executive committee, but
is, nevertheless. a foregone conclusion.
The day preceding September 10,
which will fall on Tuesday. is Perry's
Victory Day, and the battle Of Lake
Erie is to be commemorated in connec-
ton with the encampment by making
the exercises naval in character. The
naval parade will take place that day,
and. as well, sham naval battle on
the same great lake on which Perry
won his fight on September 10. 1913.

will be on the day following. Wednes-

adapted to the necessities of large

F. NJ. McNeal: Judicious selection Is
perhaps more potent than any otner
factor in modifying and improving the
type of our domestic animals. BY its
proper exercise men have been enabled
to change almost any type Of animal
they pleased, even to the mutilation of
the animal itself. The great deficiency
in our ancestral hog was his inability
to develop fine form and great size at
an early age. In the hustle and hustle
Of modern life, men could not afford
to wait two or two and half years for
the maturity Of his hog, and nine to
fifteen months became the limit in our
pure breeds. Each with a fixed type
in his mind, began to select until the
shape of the ham, the curve Of the
back, the cut of the jowl, the size and
setting of the ear, the color of the hair,
the number and position Of the spots.

Little Glr.'s Army Mascot.


One evening toward lhe close of the
war. while union soldiers lay in camp
on hillside near the Staunt0n river,
in Virginia, the cry of Halt! Who
goes there?" from a sentry started
lOunger to his feet, and several of the
more curious ran to the guard to find
out what the trouble was. A minute
later all knew that the night visitor
who had been challenged was no en-
envy. A little girl about 10 years of
age, holding white kitten In her
arms. came forward into the light of
the fires, conducted by two soldiers.
who had tod the sentry TO pass her
in. and looked as proud as If they were
escorting a queen. The whole regiment
gathered including the colonel himself,
to lcok at the child and hear her tell
her story. A very short story it was
scarcely a paragraph-but there was
matter enough for a full chapter. She
lived near by, with her father, who
was sick and poor; and they were
nOrtherners, she said, and union
folks" Her mother was dead, and her
brother had been killed while fighting
in the federal army. She wanted to
give something" and, when the union
soldiers came, she thought she would
bring her pet kitten and present it to
the colonel. The colonel took the lit
tie girl in his arms and kissed her,
and said he was not bit ashamed of
his weakness. He accepted the kitten
with thanks. and its innocent donor
was gallantly escorted to her humble
home, loaded with generous contribu-
tions. The white kitten was adopted
by the regiment, but continued to be
the property and special pet of the
colonel, and when the war was over
he took it home with him. Like the
white lamb that stayed and fed with
the victor after the battle of Antetam,
the little creature. during its short but
stirring army life. was a daily inspira-
ton Of better feelings and thought in
the presence of all that is worst-a liv-
ing flag of true cleaning among the
thunder clouds of human passion.
