THE NEW OFFICIAL FLAG.
National Emblem With Eight
Stars Goes Into Effect.

A banner that never before was
seen on land nor sea now floats in
the breezes not only in up-to-date
places in Charlotte, but throughout
the United States and on American
ships, consulates and embassies
throughout the world.
The flag which went into effect yes
terday contains forty-eight stars, two
more than the Stars and Stripes have
ever hitherto borne. The two addi-
tions are emblematic Of two new
States, Arizona and New Mexico,
which were recently admitted. By
long-standing custom, the change
wrought by the addition of one or
more States becomes effective on the
following Fourth of July. The flag
which passed into history at midnight
of Wednesday had been official since
July 1907, when Oklahoma as
sumed the rights and the dignity of
full-f1edged Statehood.
Those who have a passion for or
der and regularity (other than par
! ty) will be pleased at the change.
The best that could be done in the
arrangement of forty-six stars has
been to lead off with one row Of 8,
| follow with a row of z, then two
rows of s, one of and then one of 8.
The new flag has 6 rows containing 8
stars each.-Charlotte Observer.

NEGRO INDEPENDENTS" BOLT

Philadelphia, Pa, July IA bolt
of one-third of the convention, led by
four officers of the convention, occur
red last night at the convention OF
the National Indejendent Political
League, when that organization OF
negro voters failed to pass resolu-
tions "condemning both Taft and
Roosevelt for their attitude in the
Brownsville affair"
The boilers declare that in failing
to censure Roosevelt and Taft, the
convention has receded from its
stand taken four years ago."
The platform adopted commends
the work and worth Of ex-Senators
Foraker and Bulkley, who are de-
clared to have met political death
fighting for the colored race"
Other planks call for Congression-
al action making lynching Federal
crime under the sole jurisdiction OF
the United States courts; and State
and National laws making IL unlaw-
full for trades unions to discriminate
against negroes. Jim crow" cars
and the segregation OF negroes In

PROHIBfTIOSIsT MEET.
VIII Name Candidate For President
and Vice-President-To Discuss
Woman Suffrage and Initiate Ref
erendum and Recall.

Atlantic City. y. J. July THE
National Prohibition Convention with
nearly 1000 delegates in attendance.
will open in this city Wednesday
morning TO nominate candidates for
President and vice-President and
map out plans for the fall campaign.
The Prohibitionists believe that the
party is in a position TO make q
strong bid for national support in No
yember and the convention promises
TO be one OF the most interesting in
years.
In addition to the vital question OF
prohibition traffic in liquor, the con-
vention expects to wrestle with the
problem of women suffrage and some
form of the initiative, referendum
and recall.
Many delegates already are in the
city and practically all the members
of the national committee for the
meeting of that body tomorrow night
This meeting is expected to be live
" one. National Chairman Charles
r. Jones will have several opponents
when he comes up for reelection,
one of the most formidable spoken
of being w. G. Calderwood. of Mime
apolis, secretary of the committee.
The race for the Presidential nom
ination appears to be an open one.
Eugene w. Chain, of Illinois, and
Arizona, who headed the party ticket
four years ago, is again urged for
the place, and there is a decided
boom for his running mate at that
time, Aaron s. Watkins, Of Ohio.
R. H. Patton, of Springfield, Illi-
nois, is another candidate much talk
ed of. Joshua Levering of Balti-
more, the prohibition standard bear
| er in 1896 and Madison Larkin, OF
Scranton, Pa, both appear to have an
enthusiastic following.

Pullmans and two day coaches, in
the order named, was demolished at
Gibson, three miles east of Corning
this morning by express train No. II,
due at Corning at $40 a. N. Forty
one persons were killed and between
fifty and sixty injured. Many of the
victims were holiday excursionists
bound to Niagara Falls, who had
boarded the train at points along the
line.
The wreck was the worst in the
history of the road. Its cause ac-
cording to Engineer Schroeder, of the
express, was his failure to see signals
set against his train. The morning
was foggy and he said he could not
make them out.

Primary to Those Who Voted
'Right.''

Hickory is "dry town." except a
little must be kept up with for par
tvs sake. Must not hurt party, you
know. In campaigns We are 'bliged to
have a little for the boys or they
mightn't vote right.
It's said there's plenty round now,
and only one ticket out and the cam
paign hardly begun yet. Read the
following clipped from the Land
mark:
"Since the advent of prohibition
not only has liquor been tabooed in
Statesville drug-stores, but the town
has never had a liquor clubt-locker
or any other kind-nor a 'ni-beer'
saloon. If liquor is sold here at all
it is by blind tigers, and these are
very few and far between. There is
no semi-legalized business. At the
recent Democratic primary liquor
was unusually plentiful, but it was
furnished fre eto those who voted
right not sold."

tailed thus far to state whether their
candidate for Vice-President salts his
cattle every morning before break
last and whether he takes a long

every day. OF course all this infor-
matlon must be furnished before the
democrats will know whether to line
