BoSWoRTH THE BEST
BUSINESS MAN.

The Elizabethtown News. a pa
per Of Statewide reputation, with
Col. Sommers as editor and pub
Usher, says that "of the six an
nounced candidates for the Dem
oeratic nomination for Governor,
Hon. Henry NJ. Bosworth is the
best business man"
The journal heartily agrees
with Mr.. Sommers and the Eliza
BEETHOVEN News; and it recognizes
the fact that if there ever was a
time in the history of Kentucky
when a business man was needed
at the head of its government,
that time is now. And this is
one of the chief reasons why the
candidacy of Mr.. Bosworth has
met with such a popular acclaim.
This is one of the leading reasons
why the people are for him all
over the State. lie has been
tried in the balances and found
not wanting. His record as public
official is without spot or blemish
He has made good. lie is a bust
ness man in the stricteSt sense of
the word, and If nominated aud
elected Governor and it looks
like he will be by an overwhelm-
ing majority he will make Ken
lucky one of the best Governors
the old State has ever had. lie
is a business farmer, resides on n
farm, and is therefore in close
touch with the needs of the
farmers of the State. His firm
stand in making corporations
pay their just share of taxes, thus
relieving the farmers of being ov
rrburdened, has gained for him
the enmity of some of the money
harons. but he is the poor man :

SMITH DESIGNED FIRST
CONFEDERATE FLAG.

The credit for having designed
the first flag of the Confederate
States-the Stars and Bars" -
is awarded to the late Major Or
rem Randolph Smith, OF Louis
burg, n. Carolina, by the Unit
ed Confederate Veterans com
mitttee, appointed to investigate
the matter.
The subject has been one of
controversy for many years and
the investigation and conclusions
OF the committee, which was as
sisted in gathering evidence by
committees of Daughters Of the
Confederacy, Sons of Confederate
Veterans and the Confederated
Southern Memorial Association
are considered of much historic
interest. The veterans report
states that a most exhaustive eX-
animation of the whole matter
was made. The findings are CIV
IN in part as follows:
William Porcher Miles, for
the Committee on Flag and Seal
Of the Confederacy, made report
10 the Provisional Congress of the
Confederate States at Montgom-
cry, Ala, March 4, 1861, and with
this report was submitted the Sc
lected design for the flag. Miles
reported that something was con
ceded by the committee to what
seemed a strong desire to retain
at least a suggestion of the old
Stars and Stripes The design
submitted by the committee and
subsequently approved by the
congress, was practically the same
as the Stars and Stripes, except
that the bars, red, white and red,
We're substituted for the thirteen
stripes.
"The Miles report brought ont
that the Southern people earnest
ly loved the old Union; that they
seeded therefrom with deep re-
gret when forced to do so Ia
maintain their rights as free
people, and that this attachment
was so strong that the Congress
sional Committee was obliged "a
recommend a flag closely rcsem.
