By South Carolina Major

same as the Stars and Stripes, except
that the bars, red, white and red,
were substituted for the thirteen
stripes.
THE Miles report brought out that
the Southern people earnestly loved
the old union; that they seeded there
from with deep regret when forced to
do so to maintain their rights as a
free people, and that this attachment
was so strong that the Congressional
committee was obliged to recommend
flag closely resembling old
Glory"
There were two claimants for the
honor of having designed the Stars
and Bars, the veterans committee
states, and evidence in support of
their claims was presented by and on
behalf of each. The claimants were
Major Orren Randolph Smith (now de-
ceased) of Louisburg, N. c., whose
claim was presented by his daughter,
Miss Jessica R. Smith, and Nicola Mar
schall, an artist who in 1861, lived at
Marion, Ala, and is now resident of
Louisville Ky. Mr. Marschalls claim
was filed by his wife and supplement
ed by Mrs. Chappell Cory, Of Birming-
ham, Ala. The testimony submitted
was considered from three viewpoints:
First, That of contemporaneous,. OF
local opinion of the facts; Second,
That of direct evidence of persons,
other than thee laimants, as to the
designing and submission of the design
to the Flag Committee of the Confed-
crate Congress, and Third, That of
statements made personally by the
claimants.
Reviewing the testimony, the re.
port continues, the committee finds:
THAT it was the belief, in 1861, Of
persons residing in the immediate Vi
cinity of the residence of the claim
ants that each of said claimants had
submitted the chosen design.
THAT the lady who made Major
Smiths model and four other persons
who saw her making it testified that
the flag was Major Smiths design,
that it was sent to the Confederate au-
thorities at Montgomery, and that it
was the same as the Stars and Bars
nag adoped by the Confederate con-
gress. Claimants OF Mr.. Marshall

CONTROVERSY SETTLED BY.
THE RICHMOND REUNION

Daughters of the Confederacy, Sons OF
Confederate Veterans, and the Confed-
Grated Southern Memorial association,
are considered of much historic inter-
est. The veterans report states that
a most exhaustive examination of the
whole matter was made. The findings
are given in part as follows:
william Porcher Miles, for the
Committee on Flag and Seal of the
Confederacy, made report to the pro-
visional Congress of the Confederate
States, at Montgomery, Ala, March 4,
1861, and with this report was sub
mitted the selected design for the flag.
Mr.. Miles reported that something was
conceded 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

SYSTEM USED BY
COUNTY ASSESSOR

! Imperial county's assessment rolls
are in better shape this year than they
have ever been before" Chief Deputy
Assessor D. NJ. West said this morn
ing. Recently Deputy Assessor
Thatcher of Los Angeles was in Fl
Centro and while here had occasion
to call at the assessors office. He
asked for the assessment against
some property owned by Los An
geles man and after we had given him
the figures he expressed surprise st
the rapidity with which he got the
information.
1--WE explained the system that is
being used in this office and he ex-
pressed the opinion that it is prob
ably better than many of the systems
in use in large cities.
ola San Diego county, which is
assessed at about sos 900 900, the
assessor has Is deputies to assist in
the Office work and So deputies who
do the field work.
"Here, where the county is assessed
at approximately a little less than
half that amount six field deputies
and four deputies for office work.
"Despite the fact that Assessor
Weaver has had only 10 deputies to
assist him, the assessment rolls arc
in better condition this year than eyer
before. There has been much favor
able comment on the way in which
the assessment work is being handled,
both from the taxpayers and from Wis
itors connected with assessors offices
elsewhere"

Governor Cantu is apparently more

any situation which may arise on the

marines that incident did not affect
relations between CaleXico and Mexi-
