a flag of truce.
The "Stars and Bars had seven
stars in the Union, to correspond to
| the number of States that had Sc
ceded up to the time of their adop-
ton, but the flags that followed them
had thirteen stars, which was unwar-
ranted, as but eleven States passed
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, 1860,
the day following the secession OF the
State of South Carolina. This flag,
which was made by the ladies OF
Charleston, was turkey red in color,
emblazoned with a White star and
crescentin the upper left hand corner.
1t was given to the blockade runner
Dixie, which was captured in the
spring of 1868, 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. 1t is believed
that some member of Capt. Henry
Hands family, whose home was in
New Jersey, is now in possession of
that flag.
The Bonnie Blue Flag" the sub
iect 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 II, 1861,
and whose hauling down, Oh 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, 1902. 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 Randolph Smith, who de-
signed the "Stars and Bars" was
born in Warren county, North Caro-
lima, on the 18th of December, 1927,
and is now living in Henderson, N. G..
He served during the Mexican war,
was in Utah in 1S57-'5S 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 fag-may it ever be victor
| GUS"
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, daughterof o. r. Smith, and
presented to p. d. Harrison.

All indications point to the largest
crop OF tobacco this year in Sampson
county by far that has ever been put
in. New barns are dotting the farms
here and there in every community
where tobacco is being planted; the
farmers are buying at least four
times the amount of tobacco iertili-
zer that they bought last year: an
immense quantity OF bed covering for
tobacco has been sold in Clinton, and
also very large quantity OF tobacco
seeds have been distributed; and be-
sides, all the farmers talk tobacco
with unusual interest.-Clinton Dem

would have been practically impossi-
BILE without the modern use of print.
ers' ink. The story of P. ID. Armour
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 q campaign against
MIR. 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 wasnot
particularly 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 his 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 have to ad-
vertise. Our goods are known and
appreciated by every man in the
trade"
$50 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?"
cit makes this difference: Awoman
comes into a grocery store 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 ameinterested. 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:
'tYoung man, 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 $4,000 the first
money ever spent by Armour & Co.
for printers ink. Last year the
firm spent in the neighborhood OF
100000.
This is often the course of advertis-
ing-it 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.

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 wonder that nerve
troubles attack the mother - how
can she help being nervous,
especially while the little ones are
SO troublesomel
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 either. 1t is Vinol,
made by new process from that
wonderful remedy, cod liver oil +;
it's 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. / 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
to health. Used in time, it saves
nervous breakdown. Your money
back if you don't find this true.
