1 The idea of my flag l took from the
 Trinity, three in one
 The three bars were for church, state
 and press; red representing state, legis-
 lative. judiciary and executive; white for
 church, Father, Son and Holy Ghrost; blue for press, freedom of speech, free
 dom of conscience and liberty of press ail bound together by field of blue theayen over alb bearing a star for each state i'll the confederation The seven white stars all the same size were placed in circle, showing that each state had equal rights and privileges ire spective< of size or population. The cir cle, having neither head nor foot, stood for eternity, and sgniied, You defend me and I'll protect you. l had the flag all complete in my mind before the Con- federate Congress advertised for models, and when the advertisement appeared l went to my friend, Miss Rebecca Mur- phy (she is now Mrs. W. B. Winborne of Wilson, ". O. and asked if she would make me a little flag, I'd tell her how. tore the bars and cut the stars and she sewed the stitches and
 when finished the little flag was sent to Montgomery with the suggestion that q star be added for each state that joined the Confederacy. The flag committee, as you all know, accepted the flag and named it The Stars and Bars They also adopted the suggestion and it was not long before the flag bore Il stars for the II Confederate states that voted for Jefferson Davis to be President. After the small flag was sent to Montgomery, I bought dress goods from Barrow's store and asked Miss Rebecca to make me large flag 9x12 feet, for whether the flag committee accepted my model or not, I was determined that one of my flags should be floating in the breeze.
 Splicing two tall saplings together, l made a pole 100 feet high and planted it on the courthouse square at Louisburg, N. C. (where I was then living), and the flag was sent aloft on Monday, March IS, 1861. two months before North Carolina seeded
 Over the flag was floating a blue streamer, like an admiral has on his ship when 'homeward bound and on this pennant I had stars for each state that had seeded and one for North Car olina for though my state was still in the union I knew she was homeward bound
 This was the first Confederate flag ever raised ill the Old North State, and this Is how the Stars and Bars came into existence, Dixie's flag that floated over the bravest and hardest to wear out soldiers ever account in any war

BEFORE COMMITTEE

Miss Jessica Smith came to nie several times about the matter to know what in- formation I had and to argue with me against my contention for MT Marschall
 She suggested to me at the New Orleans United Daughters of the Confederacy convention that we leave the matter in the hands of a small committee of the Uned Daughters of the Confectionery, and small committee for the United Confed- crate Veterans. l told her frankly that l objected to this plan. I did this for several reasons-because I knew she had already gained much sympathy of many
 United Daughters of the Confederacy and of the Veterans by her pathetic ap- peals to them as Dads Daughter" also by her flag book which had been pre-

needs, and should have a good home
orchard to furnish fruit and berries
for home use. One acre devoted to
such an orchard will give all the

you see just how the orchard should

in succession so as to keep fresh
fruit coming on all the time during
the fruit season.

them to set out the whole acre. can
