History of the Confederate Flags
BY MRS. B. H. HOOD

Va. 1t was a pure white flag, the
length double the width, with the
union or battle flag in the upper left
hand corner of the white field; this
was considered the national emblem.
This, however, had it's faults. In calm
weather, when the flag dropped
around the staff, so much of the white
field showed that it was often taken
for the white flag of surrender or
armistice, and it forthwith had to be
changed.
The first flag of this design was
used by President Davis to enfold the
body of Gen. Stonewall Jackson, who
died May 10, 1868. For this reason
it was frequently known as the Jack
son Flag.
Finally on March 4, 1865, congress
established another national flag.
This flag was only the third flag with
broad red stripe across the end, so
it never could be mistaken for flag
of truce. This flag was scarcely used,
only for a few weeks, and never re-
ceived the baptism of blood.
The flag with the red bar is some
times spoken of as the third national
flag, but only three flags are usually
shown.
The battle flag is the only flag the
veterans venerate. It's frequent APP
pearance on the badges of every vet
erans' camp, North and South, is an
evidence that it is still revered and
kept sacred-the flag that led men in
gray to the greatest deeds of heroism
and the highest glory won by any
soldiers of any country.
The insignia of the United Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy consists of a
representation of the Confederate
| flag (stars and bars) surrounded by
a laural wreath with the monogram
"U. D. c." under the flag and the
dates "61-65." This is used upon all
official documents issued by the or
ganizatiOn.

of receipts for such liquors, or any
other prohibited liquors or bever-
ages"
The presence of any liquors or bev-
erages on the premises shall be taken
as prima facie evidence of violation
of the law. The bill is framed to
restrict the quantity of liquors or
beverages which may be received or
had possession of at one time within
the period of four consecutive weeks
and to prohibit the breaking in the
premises of delivering carriers, or
persons, of packages containing the
defined liquors and beverages in or
der that a joint shipment may be di-
vided. 1t also makes it unlawful to
induce a carrier to transport by
means of concealment of liquors
through the manner of packing.
The individual may receive within
four consecutive weeks one-half gal
lon of spirituous, two gallons of vim
Gus and five gallons of malt liquors,
the latter to be kept in one keg or
forty pint bottles as desired. The
bill provides that the maximum sim
gle shipment which may be made to
one address in one month is double
those quantities.

during the coming year, saying that
the same arguments which applied
to a private individual in the face of
war and depression should apply to
the business conditions of the state.
He urged the passage of bill pro-
viding for state auditor. In order
that teachers might be paid promptly
he urged that the state board of edu-
cation be constituted a body corpor-
ate like the county boards in order
that it could obtain advances of
money.
He urged strict upholding of the
law which provides that the state
board of education shall have no
member who represents or who has
ever been connected with a school
book concern.
In reference to the Western & At
lantic railroad he urged that it be
leased. He urged the creation of
commission to make appropriate rec
concentrations to the legislature.
With reference to the Ducktown
copper case he declared that the &C
ton of the company was in his judg-
ment a reflection upon the good faith
of Georgia. He declared that the
concern was entitled only to the most
rigid justice, and advised that no set
Element be considered in this litiga-
ton except upon the approval of the
governor and attorney general.
With reference to the prison depart
ment he recommended no changes,
but said: II believe that no better
plan could be devised for the disposi-
ton of convicts in Georgia than is
now of force. Such system is hui
name and in accord with wise pen
ology.
He recommended a law lessening
the number of convicts sent to the
prison farm, and enabling the prison
commissioners at their discretion to
place upon the roads convicts com
mitted to the farm.
He favored the indeterminate SEN
tence.
He urged the disposal of the pres
ent executive mansion at an auspi-
cious time and the erection of new
mansion in a more suitable locality.
He recommended earnest and care
full consideration to the report of the
committee chosen last year to report
on the simplifcatt)u Of land titles
in Georgia.
He urged an investigation into the
number of books now being printed
by the state He said the number was
excessive and that much of the work
is being thrown into the basement.
He urged the creation of a highway
commission, subordinate to the prison
department.
In his concluding remarks, under
the caption Farewell the retiring
governor said:
This message practically con-
cludes my official connection with the
state of Georgia. I served it for sew
enteen years in the legislature, for a
short time as acting governor and for
two years as governor. know of no
position in which a citizen can rem
der greater service to, his state than
in the legislature. In that body his
actions express the genius Of the state
and upon the precedents he estab-
| fishes will depend it's downfall or its

Observation-Disclosures in the
senate and the house simultaneously
of the Anti-Saloon Leagues compan-
inn prohibition bills indicates clearly
where the big fight of the present. SEES
sion is going to be. The measures
are more drastic than had been con-
templated by those who were not "on

One of the bills seeks to make It
unlawful to manufacture, offer or
keen for sale, furnish at any public
nIace. keep on hand at any place OF
business or otherwise dispose of any
spirituous. vinous or malt liquor or
anv drinks or beverages containing
one-half of one per cent or more of
alcohol
Would Be Nuisance.
1t provides that places where any
such liquors are kept in violation of
this law, or where they are drunk,
manufactured, stored or disposed of
shall ''be deemed a common nui-
sance." and that they shall be abated
by process of injunction; that the
charter of any corporation shall be
forfeited upon any conviction of vio-
lation of the law"
Rules of evidence are prescribed,
making it obligatory to testify, and
it provides for the seizure and de-
struction of liquors offered for illegal
use. The one exception is that of
'the social serving of such liquors or
beverages in private residences in Or
binary social intercourse"
Landlords Liable.
The bill makes it a misdemeanor
for any landlord to knowingly permit
the use of his property for purposes
defined as violation Of the prohibition
law and forfeit the lease rights of
tenants on conviction, applying the
same regulation to warehouses stor-
ing liquors. The bill further pro-
vides that if amy one section of this
bill is held to be unconstitutional,
such ruling shall not affect any other
sections of the bill"
To Prevent Shipment Into State.
The adoption of the Webb-Kenyon
idea is more drastic. 1t seeks to pre-
vent shipment into this state, and
delivery herein, for unlawful pur-,
poses of any spirituous, vinous, malt,
fermented or other intoxicating liq-
uors from points without this state"
and to prevent the delivery to ficti-
tious consignees or the giving of or
ders for such liquors to enable any
person other than the consignee to
receive such liquors for himself or
others, and to prevent the delivery
of such liquors to others than the
consignee without written orders, or
to minors"
Carriers Must Keep Records.
1t requires the carrier to keep
record of all such shipments and file
the record once a month with the
ordinary of the county wherein the
delivery is made. The record in the
ordinary's office is to be kept open at
all times to the sheriff or police au-
