Origin of Confederate Flag


1t was at the Washington convention
that North Carolina presented to the
general convention a flag from Mr. Or
rim Randolph Smith of North Carolina,
the original of which was said to have
been designed by him and sewed by
his friends, Miss Rebecca Murphy and
Mrs. Window of Winston, N. c., an
which North Carolina claims is the
original flag which was accepted by tn"
Confederate Congress at Montgomery
All my life l had thought AMI been
taught that my own state of Alabama
held the original distinction of having
been the home of Mrs. Napole on Lick
EFT. and the one artist Mr.. Nicoli Mar
shall. all of Marion. Ala. who had orig
mated and designed the accepted flag
thereupon challenged North Carolina's
claim to this honor In the most loving
way that l could, for / could not helm
remembering that my great grand
father was a loyal son of the Tar Heel
state. North Carolina didn't like this
much and some of my Alabama friends

patch don't like 1t either on account of
their ancestry In the great old Caro-
lima state and have tried to persuade

the subject with an open mind hoping
to honestly give lonor where honor is
due, and with evecy search into histor T.

JUDGE TELLS BOY
THIEF To REF0RM
George Wiley Given Year to
Make Man of Himself
Stole Diamond Ring.

Pleading guilty to a charge of having
stolen diamond ring to give his
fiancee as Christmas present, George
Wiley, an eighteen-y ear-old youth ar
raigned in criminal superior court to-
day, was placed under suspended judg
ment for twelve months by Judge L. s.
Roam and told to make a man of HIM
self.
Wiley who, with j. l.. Harris, was
accused of entering the residence of M
Friedman, 271 Cooper street. on De-
cember 10 and looting it of $500 worth
of jewelry, told the court that he was
led to the act by his desire to dover his
sweetheart with handsome Christmas
present
Because the Georgia law does not
permit superior judge to suspend q
sentence, the court suspended judgment
in the case for period of twelve
months, putting Wiley under the care
of the probation officers
Harris, who was indicted with Wiley
for completely in the Friedman rob-
berry, was not in court. He is out or
$1,000 bond and will be tried at a fu-
ture term, Virtually all the jewelry
stolen by the youths was recovered by
the police.

DR.. NJ NAUGHTON
GRAN TED Ne N
RESPITE
Governor Extends Time of Con.
demned Man to May 9, Pend
ing Mrs. Flanders Trial.

Governor Brown today respited DR..
w. J.. McNaughton, condemned to death
for the murder of Fred Flanders in
Emanuel county many months ago, I'M
til May 8,
AIcNaughton was under sentence to
die on February IS, having been res
pited in November to that date by the
governor, who declared that McNaugh-
ton should not die until the case against
Mrs. Fred Flanders, his alleged CO.
conspirator in the staying of Flanders,
yhould be disposed of.
Although McNaughton and Mrs.
Flanders were indicted jointly two
years ago for the crime against Flan-
ders, and McNaughton was promptly
tried and convicted, Mrs. Flanders new
er has been tried
MeNaughton's attorney, Colonel Fred
Saffold, of Swainsboro. has stoutly
maintained that the state dare not try
Mrs. Flanders before McNaughton's- ex-
ecution, holding that the state not only
could not convict Mrs. Flanders. but
that her trial. in all probability, would
result in vindication Of McNaughton.
Case Again Put Over.
When the governor respfted Nc
Naughton last fall it was his under
standing that Mrs Flanders would be
tried at the January term of the En1an-
uel court, and he had what he consid-
cred a promise from the state that she
should be. When her case was called
in January, however. it was again con-
tinued. 1t is now on the calendar for
the March term.
True TO his avowed purpose, the gov
ernor today again postponed the sem
tence of McNaughton until May, ex-
pecting Mrs. Flanders to be tried at the
March term.
If Mrs. Flanders is not tried at the
March term the case likely will be con-
tinued until the June term, and that
will carry it over from the administra-
ton of Governor Brown into the ad-
ministration of Governor Slaton.
Whether the governor suspects that
some such purpose is now in the minds
of the Emanuel county officials he has
not said, but If he should find that the
intention is TO get the case away from
him and into some other hands not
committed to any course of action with
respect to McNaughton, it may be that
McNaughton's sentence will be COM
muted to life Imprisonment, thus maxi
ing it certain that he will be alive when
Mrs. Flanders is tried, if ever, unless
brought to his death by natural causes.
Governor in Doubt.
There is evidently an element of
doubt in the executive mind as to the
guilt of McNaughton by
the persistent refusal of the state to try
her alleged accomplice-and the gov
ernor plainly is determined that Nc
NaIghton shall have the benefit of that
doubt for the present, at least.
Colonel Saffold, McNaughton's law
yer, who is in Atlanta, declares that the
case against Mrs. Flanders never will
be tried so long as McNaughton lives.
If she is not tried at the May term
the proposition then before the govern
or will be decidedly interesting.

Peace Is Far OFF,
u. S. Believes

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-While the
state department today received dis
patches from Ambassador Wilson con-
firmatory of the overthrow of the Ma
derist regime in Mexico and containing
expression of the hope that compare
tive peace will follow the Inauguration
of the new president, neither the navy
nor the war department countermanded
their previous orders preparing for in
PREVENTION south of the border.
The state department believes that
the enforced resignation Of President
Madero makes the situation consider
ably more difficult and that the admin
istration of General Huerta will be
brief.
Additional obstacles in the path of
peace south of the Rio Grande are the
pretensions of Generals Orozco, Sala-
Ear, Zapata and the other revolutionary
leaders to the reins of government.
They do not regard Huerta either as a
very strong man or as a capable ruler.
1t is feared that until another Porfirio
Diaz is seated in the castle at Chapul-
tepec there will be no peace in Mexico
and that foreigners will be subjected
to all manner of attacks and insults by
revolutionaries throughout the repub-
lie.
Warships Held Ready.
For this reason the United states
will not give it's battleships additional
orders for at least a fortnight, while
the entire Atlantic fleet will be kept at
Guantanamo, Cuba, ready for interven-
ton, until the latter part of March. I'M
less President Wilson sees fit to change
the Taft policy.
The permanent corps of marines at
Guantanamo will assure the United
States of a capable landing force ready
to be used at four days notice in any
portion of Central America, while the
temporary camp of the Third infantry
at Galveston, Texas will permit that
regiment to be rushed to any part OF
the danger zone on short notice.
Herman o. Weiss, the Chicago civil
engineer, who was reported killed in
Mexico City, is safe and at Salina Cruz,
according to information received at the
state department from Ambassador
Wilson today, Weiss and his wife left
the Mexican capital several days ago,
so far as the American authorities
know, and were not molested on their
way to Salina Cruz. whence they in
tended to sail back to the United States.
Americans Reported Safe.
Ambassador Wilson also reported the
safety of the following Americans:
Jefferson d. Smith and wife, William
Prlm Wood, Archie Wood. Wesley A.
Price and family, Fred Shelton. ID. C.
Macltie and wife. and II, A. Delima,

purifies and invigorates the scalp,
forever stopping itching and falling

Danderine is to the hair what fresh
showers of rain and sunshine are to
vegetation. 1t goes right to the roots,
lnvigorates and strengthens them.
Its exhilarating, stimulating and life
producing properties cause the hair
to grow abundantly long, strong and
beautiful.
You can surely have pretty. soft,
lustrous hair, and lots of 1t. if YOU
will just get a 25-cent bottle of
Knowston's Danderine from any drug
store or toilet counter and try it as
directed.

Civil Liberties
Are Guaranteed.

The proclamation continues:
1.-THE unenduring and distressing sit
uation through which the capital Of the
republic has passed obliged the army to
unite on a basis of fraternity to achieve
the salvation of the coui.Lry. In conse-
quence. the nation may rest assured
that all civic liberties compatible with
good order are guaranteed under the
responsibilities of the signatories who
have assumed charge of the admins
tration of the government and COM
mand of the military forces in so far as
is necessary to afford full guarantees
to Mexican citizens and foreign resi-
dents. a
within 70 hours the situation will
have improved, it is hoped, to the point
where civil law may take the place Of
military. The army invites the peo-
pie, on whom it relies to continue to
the noble attitude of respect and mod
GRAFTON it has hitherto observed.
"It also invites all revolutionary fac
tions to unite for the confirmation Of
national peace"
Throughout the entire affair Ambas-
sador Wilson took the part of a friend
~ adviser and assisted in every way to
bring the factions together on basis
of understanding. Some of the confer
ences Of Huerta and Diaz were held in
the United States embassy.
The Mexican Herald, an English
newspaper, was issued this morning for
the first time in three days.
AS a signal for rejoicing, as well as to
hide the scars Of war, soldiers draped
bunting over the national palace and
arsenal.
There was a repeated recurrence of
the report that Porfirio Diaz, former
president of the republic, whose gov
eminent was overthrown by Madero,
will be recalled as special adviser to
the new government
