The pearl fisheries of Bahrein are the finest in the world. This little island in the Persian gulf. has been a Mecca for pearl merchants for over 1000 years. Arabian divers were plumbing the waters of the gulf when Julius Caesar ruled in Rome. Some of the finest pearls in the world today were first sold in the markets of Bahrein.

Wilson, ~ c., Aug. 12.--Mrs. Re-
becca Winborne, 81 years old, who
died recently Is said to have been the
woman who made the first Confeder-
ate flag.
The banner designed by captain
Orren Randolph Smith of Henderson,
n. c., was made by Mrs. Winborne
when she was Miss Rebecca Murphy,
at Wilson in February 1861. A sister
refused to aid in making the flag, it
is said, because she was engaged to a
northern army officer. A few weeks
after the flag was completed 1t was
adopted by the Confederate congress
at Montgomery, Ala, as the standard
of the confederacy. The first banner
contained only seven stars, represent
ing the number of states that had Sc
ceded, but this number was soon in :
creased to eleven by the withdrawal
of other states from the union. BY an
act of the confederate congress it was
named THE Stars and Bars"
At reunion of Confederate veter-
ems at Norfolk. Va, in 1910, Captain
Smith explained the meaning of the
various colcrs. in the flag as follows:
"The idea of my flag I took from
the Trinity. The three bars were for
the church, state and press all bound
together by a field of blue (the
heavens over all), bearing a star for
each state in the confederation, The
seven white stars, all the same size,
were placed in circle. showing that
each state had equal rights and priv
ileges, irrespective of size or popu-
lation."
