plantations laborers who Hve at tho

that put up by two Filipinos who, it is
claimed, had been in training all day.
In order to be IN tip.top condition, the
little brown brothers had imbibed
enough Dago Red to cover submarine,
The hoozs worked well as the day went

not only lick. one afother but the rest
Of the camp put together.
The first clash took place when one
Filipino, invaded the trenches Of the
other and attempted TO gas him. As

and then the warting powers became
overcome by sleep and Dago Red and
cooled up together for snocze.
The spectators turned to depart when
suddenly a fresh reel of entertainment
was revealed. A japanese and Porto

 The flag of the Confederate States was the work of the committee appointed by Congress, none of the designs sent by individuals as models having been thought suitable. It consists of three bars of red and white. The upper red, middle white, lower red. The lower bar extends the whole width of the flag and just above 1t next to the staff on the upper left hand corner of the flag is a blue union with the seven stars in circle. The de- sign is simple, easily recognized and suf- ffciently distinct from the old gridiron.

defiance to the northern wind that came rushing down from the Potomac laden with threats of abolition coercion.
 A large concourse of spectators had assembled on Capitol hill and the number would doubtless have been trebled had it been possible to have given on earlier announcement of the ceremony. Miss l.. C. T. Tyler one of the fair de- scendants of the Old Dominion and a granddaughter of the venerable ex- President of the late United States had been elected to perform the principal part upon this occasion. When the time had arrived for raising the banner Miss Tyler steadily and with heart throbbing with patriotic motion elevated the flag to the summit of the staff, cannon thun- dered forth salute, the vast assemblage rent the air with shouts of welcome and the people of the south had for the first time view of the southern flag. Ere there was time to take one glance at the national ensign the eyes of all were up- turned to gaze at what would perhaps at any time have attracted unusual at tention, but on this occasion seemed really a providential omen. Scarcely had the first report from the salute died away when a large and beautifully de- fined circle of blue vapor rose slowly over the assemblages of southern spirits there assembled to VOW allegiance to the

This was my design and urged upon the Congress earnestly by be. Now, the only difference between this and the Confederate battle flag is that the latter was made square, for greater lightness and portability while the one submitted to Congress was, of course, of the usual proportion of a flag, l. e., oblong. Models of considerable size, of the four flags sub mitted, were made of colored cambric and hung up in the hall where Congress sat; and they were afterward long in my pos session, as was also the Confederate flag at hand) that within an hour or two of it's adoption (thanks to fair and nim- ble fingers) gloated over the state capitol sions. Unfortunately they were all lost or destroyed during the war. If they could be produced, they would settle the question as to the origin of the Confed- crate battle flag. But there must be many members of the provisional con gress who remember and can testify to the correctness of the above statements
 Now, all this happened before you cap tured Fort Sumpter. before April, 1861. Sometime during which month Colonel Walton says Mir Hancock. at his request, designed his flag.

An Advertising Age

From Leslie's.
 It is the age of advertising. It also ap- pears to be the age of pie. the great American dish. Tn Oregon they grow juiey berry, a cross between black berry and a raspberry, known as the log anberry. The crop was so abundant that it could not be sold. The growers there upon dried the berries and found they had nearly 2o0,009 pounds on hand. with a selling price of Pc pound. but jobbers were unable to move the crop at one quarter that figure. Then somebody sug- gested to the Willamette Valley Prune as- sociatj9n which was loaded up with these berri {, that they spend $1000 in advertis- sfoganberry pies. Thousands of res tanrants at once began to call for logan berries, and with this stimulus the crop found market.
 Everywhere the producer has dscov- cred that the easiest way to reach the consumer is by advertising his product, and thus we have advertising campaigns for raisns, prunes, oranges, nuts and ap- ples. Of late, the distributors of stocks and bonds have discovered that the best way to reach the investor is through the advertising columns of publications of

What One Gamekeeper Did

Notwithstanding the very late spring with weather conditions almost disheartening, this gamekeeper, with practically no help during the mating and nesting season. raised 250 pheas- ants, $50 mallard duck, IA wood duck, 12 golden pheas sants and seven Canada geese. Due to heavy rains, the brook running through the mallard enclosure flooded late in May and swept 200 ducklings into the pond. where they were drowned. By steady trapping of foxes, bobcats. coons and skunk dur ing the winter and everlasting war on the bird eating owls and hawks the native grouse were given protection. Increases of them have been notice able and by intelligent planting here and there through the covers of about 2500 acres of abandoned timber and farm land. the winter supply of food is becoming abundant. These two steps alone have accomplished wonderful re- suits in restocking these old hunting grounds, which less than a hundred years ago fairly teemed with wild game.

 much delight. and it gives me a real
 | pleasure to add my. mite to what believe
 to be a just cause.
 l l knew Mr. Marschal and Mrs Lock : cit well: they were both intimate friends | of my family in Marion where I was
 l born and raised. Perhaps a little incl l dent will not be amiss as it tends to con- | firm MT.

 If can aid you further it will give me l pleasure, Very respectfully,

Barton, who is known l 10 me, who, being sworn, deposes and l says: That he is a citizen of said state and county. That he is veteran of the 1 Confederacy, that he is a native of Mont | gomery county, said state. He says | further that in 1861 he was a student at Howard college, Marion. That he was Intimately acquainted with the family of 1 Col. Napoleon Lockett. that one of his l sons, Napoleon, Jr., was a classmate and l ne was frequently guest in the family | or said Colonel Lockett That subse- quently he was in college with the said | son, Napoleon, Jr., at the University. of | Alabama, Tuscaloosa. At that time the ] miiltar ssys stem maintained in said school, That the flag of the Confederacy was inc oHlclal flag used then He says further that when he was at the Howard college the subject of flag adopted officially for the Confectionery was frequently discussed and he knows of his own knowledge that at that time the flag designed by Mar sehall or Marion, an artist, and presented py Mrs. Napoleon Lockett, was the one adopted and universally recognized as the one present by Mrs. Lockett and adopted by the Congress of the Confederacy He says further that during the two years he was associated with Napoleon Lockett as cadet in the University of Alabama; that the flag was then recognized as the design of Marschall and presented by his mother, Mrs. Napoleon Lockett and adopted by the Confederacy officially. lie says further that subsequently, to the war ending in 1865 he was associated pro- fessionally with Powhattan Lockett an elder son of said Colonel Lockett. and Mrs. Lockett That frequently the mat ter of the flag and it's adoption was dis cussed and said Powhattan Lockett al- ways maintained without question from any source whatever that Stars and Bars was the one presented to the Congress of the Confederacy by his mother and was the design of the said Marschau of Marion, Ala.
 Deponent further says that for 40 years or more he knows that the informa ton and the adoption of the flag was ac- credited to Mrs. Lockett and MT. Mar schall and he never heard of a question being raised relating to same until com paratively recently when the design and presentation was claimed by other par- tes. From his personal knowledge and intimate acquaintance with the parties during the years while the war la sted and the army of the Confederacy existed that the flag was recognized as the Marschall design and presented by Mrs. Eockett and he never heard it's origin or design questioned and from the foregoing he is fully convinced of the truth of all the foregoing relating to said flag and it's adoption.
