CAR0L|NANS SEEK
PAINE 7 To FLAG
First Battle Flag of the Confed-
eraCy Is in Colorado State
Museum.

DENVER, Sept. 12.-An effort is being
made by Governor Cole F. Blease. of
South Carolina. to purchase the first Con-
federate flag, now on exhibition at the
Colorado state capitol among the war
relics
This flag, known as the Palmetto flag,
because of palmetto tree depicted in
the center of it, was made. in 1860 by
the women of Charleston, s. c., and was
raised over Fort Sumter when that fort
fell into the hands Of the Confederates at
the outset of the war.
At the end of the war the flag was still
in the possession of General Beauregard
who led the forces against Sumter. and
II was left to his family at the time of his
death. 1t passed through several hands
and finally found its way to the Colorado
museum, where 1t was noticed by a Texas
woman and reported to societies in the
South formed for the purpose Of collect
ing Confederate flags captured by the
North during the war.
Affidavits have been received by the
museum establishing the identity of an
INK well which has been on exhibition
at the Colorado capitol for some years
Question was raised as to the genuine
ness of the stand and resulted in a thor
ough Investigation. Through letters re-
ceived 1t has been clearly shown that the
ink well in question is actually the one
used by Generals Lee and Grant in the
surrender agreed upon in McLain's house
at Appomat tox.
The ink well belonged to General p. H
Sheridan. who had it when he went to
West Point. While writing at a Western
post he allowed the stand to come too
close to the candle which supplied the
light for him to write by, blistering the
gutta percha of which the ink well is
made 1t was by means of this blistering
that the identity of the relic was finally
established.
After the papers had been signed at
AppomattoX, Sheridan took the ink well
and gave it to his brother, John S. Sheri-
den, who later transferred it to Cecil A.
Deane. Deane presented it to the Colo
RADIO museum.

to many people that the power and dt-

adoption of the new rule with respect
to committees.

The Bull Mooses of Georgia have de-
cided to quit scrapping among them
selves.
They have determined to get right
down to business from this time for
ward, in the matter Of lining things up
for Colonel Roosevelt
The colonel is coming down to look
things over in person along about the
end of the month and the erstwhile war
ring and divided Rooseveltites have de-
cided that the Bull Moose household
must be in order when the Big Noise
arrives, no matter what else in this
world may happen!
The Moosers feel that they have a
fighting chance in Georgia, and they
have made up their minds to make a
brave showing in the November ballot
ing. They are counting heavily on the
colonel's whirlwind tour of the state
they believe he will rally to his cause
thousands of Georgians now wabbling
and needing only the magnetic pres
ence of the Rough Rider hero to make
them good and faithful Moosers for
evermore,
TO be sure, the embattled Democracy
laughs in its sleeve and assures itself
and the world at large that there is
nothing-pos-i-tively nothing-to the
Bull Moose activity in Georgia. No
where in the Georgia sky can the De-
mocracy see aught but rainbows and
things OF that persuasion.
Still, and yet. the Bull Moosers con-
spire and plan to SHOW EN- a thing or
tWo!"
Anyway, il tho Moosers are going to
fight, it would seem to have been an
eminently sensible thing to close ranks,
right dress, and get the army into some
sort of battle array!

house of representatives, spends much
Of his time in Atlanta nowadays.
Mr.. Wilson is one of the veterans Of
the house, He has served several
terms, and may serve as many more as
he wishes, so far as Gwinnett Is con-
cerned.
A number of Wilson's friends are
urging him for an assistants place I'M
der the next commissioner of agricul-
ture, and the gentleman himself is said
not to be averse to the suggestion
Mr. Wilson is a practical farmer. He
pretends to no widespread political
pull or influence, but he does think
that he could be a great help to the
next commissioner of agriculture in the
matter of pushing the department along
IN the way 1t should go
He likely will make no active effort
TO get the appointment, but If it comes
bothering around his neiehborhood

admits that he would not shirk the role
