WAS GREEK KING
STABBED BY QUEEN?
COnstantine'S HOhenZOllern COnsOrt
Is Blamed For His Present
Serious Illness.

NEW York; Paris cable to the
Tribune gives further details of the
report current there that King Con-
stantine was suffering from a knife
wound. The statement is made that
the kings illness is due to a tragic
episode which occurred in Apri! dur
ing a heated discussion between the
king and his consirt, Queen Sophia,
who is a sister of the German en-
perOr.
Notwithstanding her conversion to
the Orthodox Greek church upon her
marriage Queen Sophia remains pas
sionately devoted to the policies of
her imperial brother and to the cause
of Germany A very animated con-
versation, it is stated, took place il
the Kings library one evening, which
developed irto a violent quarrel, dur
ing which the queen, whose OCCASION
al outbursts Of impetuOus temper are
we'll known to all about her, seized
sharp pointed metallic paper knife
and scarcely realizing what she was
about to do, being carried away by
her hot temper, plunged the paper
cutter into her husbands side.
The blade, according to the Trib-
une correspondent informant, pierre
er the pleura and grazed the lower
lobe of the kings lung. The queen
instantly expressed the deepest sOr-
row at the consequences of her i'm
petuosity, but the king, naturally
viewing the episode on its serious
side, earnestly desired that the queen
return to her own family. The truth
was hushed up and the king, as he
would have done in any case, gallant
ly attributed to influenza the pleu-
risy that set in owing to the wound.
This dramatic explanation of King
Constantine's malady is declared by
the relator of the episode to be absO-
lutely accurate.

as and the "rattler and palmetto OF
South Carolina" !,
Tho Confederate congress adopted
the flag sent by Mr.. Orren Randolph
Smith. and it is now honored over all
the world as the flag that hoated over
the bravest and hardest to conquer
soldiers that this world ever saw
THE Stars and Bars! rms nag
was used officially by the Confederate
States of America until after the sec
ond battle of Manassas, When
change was made, owing to the fact,
as has often been published, that the
Stars and Bars resembled so forcibly
the Stars and Stripes, especially
when limp.
The little model was made the sec
ond week in February, 1861, and
without waiting to hear if his design
was accepted or not Mr.. Smith bought
material and carried it to his friend,
Mrs. Watson, and asked her to make
him large flag exactly like the mod
ell sent to Montgomery. She worked
on the flag, which was nine by twelve
feet, but did not succeed in finishing
it by Saturday night, so it was hnlsh-
ed on Sunday, and early on Monday
morning the flag was sent aft by Mr..
Smith, saying that there should be
one of his flags floating in the breeze.
North Carolina did not secede I'M
til May 20, 1861, and this occurred
nearly two months before that date.
Over the stars and Bars there t1oated
a long blue pennant bearing ten white
stars (for Virginia, North Carolina
and Arkansas-he knew they would
come into the Confederacy) like an
admiral's pennant that waves in the
breeze when his ship is homeward
bound, and surely the old North State
was homeward bound. The day this
flag was raised was a holiday, the
whole country turned out and 'ev-
erybody was there.
In the Virginia Society Historical
Papers, volume VIII, there is a com
plete history down to the smallest de-
tail of the flag with 1.-The long white
tail and red bar" written by Major
Rogers when he designed this flag;
also, there is complete history OF
the battle flag, sometimes called the
Southern Cross" In telling the his
tory of Major Rogers flag much of
the history of the flag with the long
white tail" is told, but until now the
history of the STARS and Bars" the
old "secesh" flag, has never been told
nor written.
Mrs. Watson, who made the flags
for Mr.. Smith, married a second time,
w. B. Winborne, and lived for a
number of years at Wilson, N. c. A
few years ago she moved to Pine
Tops, Edgecombe county, N. C."
where she still resides. Though over
three score and ten her mind is per-
fectly clear and she writes a most
interesting letter. The history of
these two flags she has dictated, cor
rected and had signed by a notary
public, Mr.. w. L. Dunn, who is also
postmaster at Pine Tops.

GREAT CORN GROWN
20 CENTURIES AGO
Box Containing Huge Ears Is Found
in Colorado by a Government
Exploring Party.

ment exploring party has unearthed
in the mountains of Colorado a box
containing seven ears of corn of a

ed stalks fourteen to eighteen feet in
height, four ears to a stalk The ears
are red. Each kernel planted has two
or more stalks.

promoted two corn growing contests,
has received "a kernels, and has sent
some to the Wisconsin state expert
mental station at Madison and the
rest to Rock county farmers, who
will carefully watch it and nurse it's
growth.

HISTORY OF THE CONFEDERATE FLAGS
BY MRS. B. H. HOOD

! the constitution of the United States
or should have a new flag and a new
constitution. Many were for the ola
flag. saying that Southern men had
had more to do with the making OF
that flag than the Northern, and that
the South had had more to do with
it's history since it was unturIed imam
the North. But the debate was short,
and a new constitution, representing
an ideal form of government OF ma
tive white citizens, was agreed upon.
A committee was appointed to Sc
lect the flag. This committee adVer-
tised in the papers for designs to be
sent them at Montgomery. Before
the advertisement had reached North
Carolina a man living at LOuisburg,
N. c., an ardent Original secession
ist." SO hoped the Confederate gov
eminent would adopt both new flag
and a new constitution that he de-
signed a flag for the Confederacy,
and all he had to do when he saw
the advertisement, Flag Wanted, -
was to have his design made. Buy
ing the materials he went to see bis
friends. Mrs. Katherine Rebecca
Watson (born Murphy and her
Younger sister, Miss Sally Ann Muir
Dry. and asked them to make the
flag for him. Mrs. Watson went to
work at once, but Sally Ann said she
would not sew a stitch on the flag, as
she was 'for the union" and expected
to marry a Yankee officer (Which she
did; so while she played on the pl-
ano and sang songs to her liking her
sister and this man made the flag.
The idea of the flag was taken
from the Trinity ("three in one -,
for the three wide bars represented
church, state and press. The first bar,
red, represented state, legislative and
executives; the second, white, the
church-Father, Son and Holy
Ghost; the third, red, press, freedom
of speech, liberty of the press, free
dom of conscience, bound together
by field of cerulean blue, the heav-
ems over all with a star for each
state in the confederation, and seven
white stars were placed in a circle
all the same size, showing that each
state had equal rights and privileges,
irrespective of size or population. The
little flag was about a foot long and
about eight inches in width. With
this flag was sent the suggestion that
star be added for each state that
joined the confederacy.
The flag was packed and sent to
Montgomery, and on it's journey it
had many companions, for a number
of designs were sent to the commit
tee; and varied assortment they
proved to be, from every known color
and device to the lone star of Tex
