STATE FLAG BY
 MISS WILLIE ROCKER
COMMITTEE SELECTS DESIGN PRESENTED BY PINE BLUFF
 LADY AT MEETING
Original and Unique In Arrangement Will Be Presented To Legis-
 latllre.

Little Rock, Ark. Feb 13.-The de- sign for a state flag for Arkansas submitted by Miss Willie Hooker, of Pine Bluff, was today chosen by the committee named by Secretary of State Earle w. Hodges out of a large number submitted. The design will be submitted to the legislature for adop- tion and one will be sent to the Bat tleship Arkansas by the Pine Bluff Chapter, D. A. R., members of which originated the idea of having a state flag.
 The committee met this afternoon and critically viewed each design. Miss Rockers flag was easily the best, the design being historically symbolic. Prof. Junius Jordan, sup erintendent of the Pine Bluff public schools, and Mrs Julia McAlniont Noel of Pine Bluff, were members of the committee.
 The flag is diamond shaped with red field and blue border. On the field is the word Arkansas" and twenty five white stars are in the border and three blue stars in the center, repre- sentlng the three countries of which Arkansas has been a part-Spain, France and the United States. The three stars also indicate that Arkan- sas was the third state formed from the original state of Louisiana The twenty-five stars indicates that Ark ansas was the twenty-fifth state ad- mitted in the union and two small stars close together at the end of the flag shows that she and another state weer admitted at the same time
 The idea of making the flag the shape of diamond originated from the fact that Arkansas is the only diamond producing state in the nation
 About 60 designs were submitted, most of them from the state The members of the Jury of Awards mak- ing the selection consisted of Mrs. Jo Frauenthal, of Conway; George B. Rose, of Little Rock; J. J. Doyne, of Conway; Mrs. P. H. Ellsworth. of Hot Springs; Mrs Julia Noel, of Pine Bluff, and Secretary of State E. w. Hodges.

REPORTED DEATH
Of WRONG MAN
UNUSUAL AND DISTRESSING
BURG ASYLUM OFFICIALS.

One Of the most unusual and dis
tressing plumbers on record occurred
recently at the Williamsburg asylum
for the insane through which one
Richmond man was buried by mis-
take for another who is stir living.
r. e. Gregory. Of 301 Randolph
street and H. e. Covington were both
taken to the asylum on July LIST. TWO
days later Gregory died, but instead
Of notifying his widow. the asylum
authorities informed the family Of
Covington that 1t was he who was
dead, and accordingly arrangements
were made with a Richmond under
taker to take charge Of the funeral.
The body was taken to Penola, Caro-
lima county. and inferred there as H.
e. Covington.
On July 18th Mrs. Gregory received
a letter from DR.. g. w. Brown. super
intendent Of the institution. stating
that Mr.. Gregory was improving
rapidly. The mistake was not dig
covered until insurance agent went to
the institution to investigate a death
claim of the Covington heirs and
found that he was alive. Mr.. Gregory
Is survived by a widow and two chill
dren, Robert Gregory and Lena Ger

DEMOCRATS MAY
HAVE OPPOSITION
STRONG INDEPENDENT CANDI-
DATES MAY RUN IN STAUN-
TON DISTRICT.

STAUNTON, VA, July 1s.-Will the
Democratic nominees for the legisla-
ture have opposition in the fall cleo
ton? This is a question that many
people are asking, and nobody seems
to know the answer.
Rumors have been going the rounds
in the last week to the effect that a
strong independent team will be put
in the field to oppose II. j. Taylor and
j. H. c. Grasty, who are without OPP
position in the Democratic primary,
Newspaper men, who tried hard to run
down these reports, have come home
at night with empty nets Notwith-
standing their failure. the rumor per-
sists that there will be opposition.
1t is believed that there is con-
siderable sentiment in favor OF an in
dependent ticket, but that 1t has not
yet crystallized into any definite move
ment.
It was thought for a time that the
Republicans might put up ticket.
but IT seems that the local G. o. p. Is
so badly split that there is no chance
of 1t getting together. The Staunton
Republican party liz in a right bad
way. Already torn to pieces by Roose-
veltian heresy when IL went to the
polls in November, the little fighting
spirit that 1t had left has wiped out
by the crushing defeat. There are in
dividual Republicans around Staunton,
of course. But there is no more party.
Leaders, who when working together,
made the local g. o. p. a compact
fighting unit of no little power, are
divided. and the organization in con-
sequence has gone to smash.

possibility for the administrative
board. He has not announced his can

Apart from matters already re-

news was not remarkable, The Mext-

the stock market community ia to ig-
more congressional matters as having
been fairly well discounted in their
adverse bearings at least.
1t was doubted that the new twist
in the Eastern railroad labor contro-
yersv would be allowed to precipitate
trouble and in general inclination was
to pass by any suggestion of events
that optimism had best be tempered
with caution.
