BATTLE FLAG OUGHT
TO Be PRESERVED
John w. Williams Thinks That
Site of Memorial Should Be
Laid Off to Represent
Confederate "Stars
and Bars"
RICHMOND, VA-specia1-

r c H NJ OND, VAS D eciaI-
John w. Williams, Clerk of the
House OF Delegates, has worked out
an elaborate scheme bearing on the
landscape gardening in connection
with the grounds of the Battle Abbey
10 be erected on a part of the Soldiers
Home property.
1t is his idea that the grounds should
be laid off in the form of a. Confed-
crate battle flag, and that, as far as
practicable, the colors of the con-
quered banner should be initiated in
the walkways, flowers and foliage
plants.
The Southern battle flag, as nearly
every one knows, included in it's de-
sign two bars on a background of
crimson and thirteen stars, represent
ing each of the States OF the Confed-
eracy.
1T is Mr.. Williams idea that the edi-
nee should arise at the point of in
tersection of the two bars.
The stars could be represented bv
beds of white flowers and the red
background by blossoms of crimson
or by some grade of clover. 1t would
perhaps be more difficult to get the
blue erect, and possibly 1t would be
necessary to accomplish this by the
use of green turf.
The scheme contemplates all the ne
cesary walkways and driveways and
according to the colored drawing
made by Architect D. Wiley Anderson
at the instance of Mr.. Williams. will
work out very prettily.
Mr.. Williams also has other good
ideas In connection with the Battle
Abbey. He would have a bronze

the town the Jamestown Exposition

Roosevelt wants Davenport to get
the nomination, primarily, because he
is an anti-machine man and also be-
cause his candidacy would so sorely
displease Sherman.
So today these two political gladia-

We owe it to the community in
which we live to do everything we
can in every way possible that will
be to its advantage Our neighbor's
prosperity means a great deal more
10 us than someone's who lives else
where. We should bear this in mind
In buying our goods. We can afford
TO pay our home man a firm price for
his wares rather than send our money
away, knowing as we do that every
dollar our own citizen makes will
help In sustaining our schools,
churches and public institutions. 1t
pays richly to patronize home in
dustry.
Pull together, brothers. We are all
here for the same purpose. Then live
and let live. The best way to build
up a town is for each and every man
to pull together and not strive to rend
and tear down. All the residents of
a town are partners, not opponents.
In all likelihood the more business
done by your rival, the more you will
do. Every merchant who treats his
customers honestly and fairly will get
his share, and the more business that
can be secured by united effort, the
better it will be for ALL

his share of it when meeting another.

when you meet one who takes every
advantage of those he meets. and
holds the road for his own selfish
self, often to the great discomfort of
those he meets, or will not allow them
to pass, we are almost sure to think
of pork in connection with such
drivers of teams.
This is just the right size town
to settle down in and enjoy life.
Everything for the comfort of life can
be bought here, and SO will go as far
as $50 will in the large cities. When
you want to leave the farm, come to
our town and build a nice, comfort
