Memoary Of Grin Randolph smith,
Designer of the Stars and Bars,
and Judge Ristien Bennett
HOnorcd.

At the meeting OF the Confederate
Memorial Literary Society held Sos-
terday morning at the Confederate
Museum. two very interesting por-
traits were presented 10 the society.
One was the portrait of Grin Ran
dolph Smith the original designer
of the Stars and Bars.
Several people have claimed the
honor of designing the Confederate
flag, but affldavits from number of
people prove that Major Smith was
the original designer. OF the flag of
the white and red bars, combined with
the seal of eleven stars on blue
background This flag was designed
in May, 1861.
The portrait was painted by Mrs
Marshall williams an artist OF note,
who is ex-president of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy Of
North Carolina. At the last meet
ing of the Daughters of North Caro-
lima this portrait was presented 10
them with understanding that they
would present it to the museum at
Richmond.
The life of Major Smith was a most
interesting one. He was a veteran Of
three wars, having fought in the War
OF 1919, the Mexican War and the
Civil War He was made master Of
ceremonies at the unveiling of the
monument 10 General Lees daugh-
ter. Annie Carter Lee who died and
was buried nj White sulphur Springs,
Warren County. y. G Her grave is
carefully kept up by the Daughters
Of that neighborhood.
The monument that marks her
grave Is about twenty feet high. and
is made of Warren granite aud was
constructed by wourde Confed-
crate soldier. 1t is surrounded by an
iron fence and every year is deco
rated. A chapter of young girls has
been formed In that county who are
taught TO take care Of this grave. II
is interesting 10 know that General
Lee himself was present at the I'M
yelling of the monument
The second portrait was Of Judge
Risden Bennett. who was most ar
dent Confederate OF North Carolina.
He was the editor Of a newspaper in
Arson County and used his pen to
help the cause OF the South. His

tiers in North Carolina

ture of the designer Of the flag under
which so many great heroes had
fought.

Thanks to the General Assembly in
restoring the appropriation for the
maintenance of the Catawba SaHa~

abled to lower the rates for patients

State paying the difference between
that figure and the cost of giving the
patients the proper treatment for tu-
berculosis. But owing to a reduction
in the appropriation bill in 1914 and
to other expenses at the sanatorium,
rates had to be raised to 81 week.
They are now returned to the old
figures.
Patients at the sanatoftum and Of

Virgnia's typhoid bill for the re-
