THE STARS AND BARS.
Something Of interest Concerning The Off,
gin Of the Confederate Flag.

The first Confederate flag was
the stars and bars, a blue field and
three stripes, one white and two
red, and ON the blue field seven
white stars in a circle, a star for
each state that up to that time
had seeded. In battle, however,
it was seen that this banner bore
altogether too close a resemblance
to the stars md stripes, and thus
there came into use the Confeder-
ate battle flag, the origin of which
seems to have been as follows:
This is the statement of Gen.
VIM. l.. Cabell: "When the Con-
federate army, commanded by
Gen. Beaureguard and the Federal
army confronted each other at Ma
nassas, it was seen that the Con-
federate flag and the stars and
stripes looked at a distance so
much a like it was hard to dis
tlngulsh one from the other. Gen.
eral Beaureguard, thinking that
serious mistakes might be made in
recognizing our troops, after July
Is, at Blackburn Ford, ordered
than a small badge should be worn
Oh the left shoulder by our troops,
and as I vas chief quartermaster
ordered me to purchase a large
amount of read flannel, and dis
tribute 1T to each regiment."
This Confederate battle flag was
adopted in 1861, and was designed
by Generals johnson and Beaure-
guard. Red was its color, with a
blue St. Andrews cross represent
ing the different Southern States.
The women of the South made
these flags by the hundreds out #
their red and blue silk dresses
Miss Constance Cary who after
wards became Mrs. Burton Har-
rison, the well-known novelist,
was one of the three Southern
girls who made the first three flags.

CONDITION OF COTTON CROP.
UnfayorabIe Weather Responsible for Large
DEPRECIATION in Yield.

The cotton crop has suffered
much during the past Is days, and
although.the present weather con-
ditions are very unfavorable, DAM
age was wrought in the latter part
of August that will not be made
good.
Since August l cotton in the
piedmont section of the Carolinas
has undergone a depreciation IN
per centage variously estimated at
from IL to IS, the most generally
accepted figures being Is per cent.
This means that where thu grow
ing crop was credited with a crop
condition Of 70 per cent. four
weeks ago, the figures will be be-
low go at the present time.
The unprecedented rains over all
the territory embraced in the pied
mont section of the two States
has resulted in immense damage
to the standing crop, while the
August crop, which several weeks
ago gave promise of a good yield,
has been almost completely de-
stroyed, the squares and blooms
being strewn along the "middles'
of the rows, making almost one
continuous line of faded blossoms
and rotted or otherwise injured
squares.
The rains of the month, aggre'
eating 16 inches ovyr large belt.
have been the principal factar IL
the decrease of the condition Of
cotton as expressed on a per cent.
age basis.
Since these rains. extending ove1
a period beginning August Is ano
ending August 20, the cotton plant
has taken on a sickly appearance
in many parts of the State and
the August fruiting and much OF
the leaf foliage have been shed.
There is some complaint of a shed,
ding of squares and small bolls.
The season has been, furthermore,
most favorable for a rank growth
of weeds, and rs a result, there is
a growth of 6 to s feet on lands
where under normal conditions
the plant would stand at a height
of 3 to 5 feet tall.-Charlotte
Chronicle.
