"0LD GLORY"
The Way This Name For the Stars and
Stripes Originated.


The term "Old Glory" used TO desIg-
nate the flag of our country, is favor
lite, and the expression is a very happy
one.
1t is said by those who claim to be
well Informed that the name originat-
ed with William Driver. captain of the
bark Charles Doggett. This statement
appears in history of the Driver
family. and from this we find the fol-
lowing facts:
Driver was n successful deep sea
sailor and was at the time making his
vessel ready for n voyage to the south
ern Pacific. In 1881. just as the brig
was about TO set sail. young man at
the head Of party OF the captains
friends saluted Driver on the deck OF
the Doggett and presented to him n
handsome American flag 10 by So feet
In size. The banner was done UP in
stops, and when IL went aloft and was
flung to the breeze Captain Driver.
says the tradition. then and there
named 1t "Old Glory" The flag was
carried to the south seas and ever aft
erward treasured by fits owner.
Driver removed to Nashville, Tenn,
in 1887 and there died in 1856. Before
the outbreak OF hostilities between the
north and south Old Glory flew daily
from window In the captains Nash
Vile house. but when the rumors OF
war became facts it was carefully Sc
GREETED.
When the war broke out the precious
flag was quilted into an innocent look
ing comfortable and used on the cap
tain's bed until Feb. %. 1852, when the
! Sixth Ohio marched into Nashville.
Then the flag came out OF its cover
Ing, and the captain presented 1t to the
regiment to be hoisted over the capt.
tol.
There IL iioated until II began TO tear
in ribbons. when 1t was taken down
and new one placed on the building.
After the death of Captain Driver the
first Old Glory was given 10 the Es-
sex institute ut Salem. where it is still
preserved and may be seen by the curl
ous.-Kansas City Journal.

principal, who last year was asso-

ceived for his labors the meager
sum of $500. His work was so
successful that he was offered $500

TWO BOOMING COUNTIES.

Two very valuable and cheering
booklets reach us by mail, almost
simultaneously. The first is de-
voted to Washington county and
bears the appropriatetitle, Where
the Blue Grass Grows" The
second is issued in behalf of Salem
and Roanoke county. Both are
beautifully printed, arranged and
illustrated. They put before the
eve of the reader in attractive and
vivid form the natural resources,
the developments, the improve
ments and prospects Of the counties
and communities described.
Washington county presents pho
tographs of some of her cut lumber
and growing timber. Of her blood
Ell live stock, mining properties,
water powers, old and new school
house buildings, improved roads.
fine private residences and natural
/ scenery.
Roanoke county follows on the
same line and adds photographs
of her fruits, wheat fields and man
ufactureS and of some Of the most
attractive residence and business
streets in Salem.
The two counties, by their enter
prise and by the scientific and at
tractive way in which they ask at
tentiOn to their advantages. have
done a service not only to them
selves, but to the State. All Vir-
ginia may have just pride i'm these
two booklets, and in the showing
they make. They must do much
to attract immigration and invest
ment. The stories of the counties
are so well written and the showing
made is so attractive that any man
seeking place of residence and
opportunity for profitable business
naturally must be drawn to them.
The descriptive and historical work
Is admirably and wisely done in
both. That for Washington county
was compiled, at the request of the
board of supervisors of, by Mr..
Findlay Harris, editor of the Alb
ingdon Nirginian. The Roanoke
booklet wasprepared and published
in behalf of the board ofsupervisors
of Roanoke and the town council of
Salem, by II. w. Kline. b. w.
Logan, DR.. f. V. n. Painter. Pro-
fessor w. f. Morehead, John f.
Shank, w. II. Tinsley and Charles
ID. Dennit.
Every thoughtful and patriotic
Virginia must find announcement
in the public spirit and aggressive
enterprise manifested in these pub
locations. If our boards of super
visors in eastern and middle Vir-
ginia would rouse themselves and
show something of the same pur-
pose it would not be long before
the counties in those sections would
be marching abreast of their sisters
In the booming and ever-develop-
ing Southwest. Virginia should
go forward as a State and not
by sections.-Richmond News

That section is the Wall street fac
ton, composed OF the Ryans, the

Parkers- That is the faction that
nominated Parker, in 1904, and
they are after some such man this
time, who will DO what they want.
and will not do anything that any
other Democrat wants. They want
some So-caIled conservative Demo-
crat, some nan who went back on
Bryan and the ticket i'm 1896 and
1900. or al leaS, some man who did
not support the ticket i'm 1896, but
who probably did support it i'm
1900 ON the anti-imperialiSt prop
OSitiOn. They know that Governor
Chanlcr Is not that kind of man or
Democrat, that he has been always
loyal To the ticket and To Bryan,
when he was the candidate of the
party, and that they cannot handle
him, therefore. they want none of
him. 1t is distinctly compliment
tary to Mr.. Chanler that they are
against him, at least from the
standpoint of his Democracy. As
/ say, all other factions of the
party, those that always have
loyalty supported the ticket. are
for Chanler and they made it clear
to me that they intend Ia give him
the State delegation in the next
national convention, the Wall street
