The Confederate Hag.
Major .Tor. F Hart lias given 1
the reporter official inforinu- !
tion ns lo (lie dates of the adopt ion I
of 11)9 different modifications of i
11)?> Cot)federate Hair, anyH the York- ;
vdle Enquirer. The first flag
known hh tlie "stars and liars" was
adopted by the Confederate Coll
^rees on March i, 1 <Sfll. It was
discarded after the lirst battle of
Manassas on account of its simil- i
arity to the flair of the lTnion, and
the resulting confusion because ??f
mistaking the one for the other. |
The "battle Httg" was devised by
(ipn. Beauregard in September
1801. It was never recognized of. j
ticially liy congre-s. in its original
form. Originally it was a rectangular
piece of red hunting. Ira-i
versed from corner to corner with
bars of blue. ()n the blue burs'
there were thirteen white slurs.
Afterward, on May 1, lytJ.'t. congress
changed this rectangular tl
into a square, placed it in the up- |
l>er left hand corner of a white j
held and constituted the new com. i
bination as the llug of the Confederacy.
The white gave trouble in
being mistaken uh a Hag of truce,
and on March H, lNb~>, a red bar
was added to the free end. This, '
as has been stated, constituted the
lust Hag of the Confederacy.

?iii(i under the management of Mr. j
W. H. Wylie and hie capable
superintendent, Mr. JirifjrtfH, the
work baa been progressing without j
a hitch and in a manner most, satisfactory
to all concerned. About
half ihe stone work of the dam and
two-thirds thnt of the power house

st. pieces are yet to be luiulcd to
1 be works from Old Point. Fori
instance, there are six pieces, each
weighing tM.(XH) pounds, that are
to bo taken there at once, ami i
wlii'tt the power house shall have
been coin plot oil, ft >111 pieces, weigh- !
i i?ur 2"?,000 pounds each, must he,
hauled there. Trucks will have
to be made specially for this purpose
and the bridges on the road
must be strengthened and widened.
The power house will have a width
oi about 40 feet and length of ISO ,
feet and will extend that distance .
out into the river. The plant will
be provided with ten mammoth
turbine wheels to turn the machinery
and the first, of these will be
hnnled to the works this week.
The engineer in charge is Mr. \V.
('. Whiiner, who drew the plans
for this mammoth undertaking.
He is assisted hy Mr. (J. Iv. Chreilzberg,
who is constantly on the
ground. Mr. Sims Wylie, of New

Bud Abernathy, who escaped from

months h^ii, where* he was
serving a nine year sentence.
Abernathy is a desperate criminal
and was considered the most
dangerous inmate of the North
Carolina prison. Anionic the nil
incrous c iincs with winch lie is
accredited was the attempted murder
of an lined colored man. Anc/.i i
Vance, of Fort Mill, lust October.
Abernnthy had never seen Yunee

street in Chariot to, arly in tho
nitfht. Anr/.i had a jui^ of whiskey
in his hand, which Abornathy
seized. A strumdo ensued, and
then Abornathy pulled a pistol
and shot tho old man through the
breast, inflicting a wound which
came near causing his death.
Tho Mecklenburg authorities

present, or nine-year term it is believed
that he is guilty of crimes
sutHeient to send him back to the
roads for even a loi ger period,
