the building of the proposed railroad was
enthusiastically advocated. The matter will

A RELIC OF THE WAR.


The Walhalla Courier makes the following
mention of the first regimental flag of the
Palmetto Sharp Shooters, which will be Pc
rused by many of our readers with interest {:
During the past week the regimental flag
Of the Palmetto Sharp Shooters, Col. jenkins
which was presented to the regiment by Gen.
Longstreet, in front of Richmond, Virginia,
has been unfurled in the store of G. L. Reid
& Co. There was no more gallant regiment
from this State, and through its bravery, as
much as anything else, its commander soon
rose to the rank Of General, and finally fell
covered with glory. The flag has blue
cross in which are twelve stars. On its folds
are inscribed Williamsburg and Seven Pines,
while the entire material is pierced with mn.
merous bullet holes and is much tattered by
rough usage. It was carried by the regiment
through many of the most important battles
of the war, both in Virginia and Tennessee,
and was only laid aside when the battle flag
was adopted and all regiments were required
to use it. We are informed that at Seven
Pines the color bearer and eleven of the color
guard were either killed or wounded. Be.
meath its folds many brave spirits gave their
lives for their country as they then regarded
their duty. In our town are some who will
carry to the grave the scars received beneath
its folds, among them our probate judge and
Mr.. Reid himself. 1t is melancholy but
proud relic to the survivors of that gallant
body of men who 80 proudly received it in
Richmond.

The imports of foreign dry goods at New
York during May we're about $4,000 more
than during the corresponding month of 1876,
but for the portion of 1877 that has passed
the dry goods importation has fallen off near
$4O0O,000 as compared with the correspond
ing period of last year. Then there is less
being thrown on the market and more going
into the warehouses. In fact the country is
learning more and more to use domestic
goods, and this, with other causes, is interfer-
ing with foreign importations. In 1912,
in eleven months the dry goods importations
at New York exceeded S134, 900, 900; now it
does not reach $73,OOO,OO0, and the decline
year by year has been a steady one

REFRESHING RAINS.

Refreshing rains have fallen throughout
this section for the last eight or ten days, Civ.

to the rain, which fell in the most opportune
time to be beneficial Wheat and oats are
being harvested. The latter is rather light,
but wheat is fully meeting the expectations
of the farmers, and as yet but little has been
injured by the recent rains.

THE COUNTY TAX.

At recent meeting Of the County Com

tax for general purposes to 29 mills, which
amount was deemed sufficient to meet the ex-

instead of 124 mills, as stated last week.

THE CHURCH FESTIVAL.

. The festival given last Friday night, in aid
of the Methodist church, was q complete sue.
cess. The ladies Of the congregation, aided
by ladies of other denominations, bended
their energies to make it grand occasion,
and right worthily did they succeed. The
hall was handsomely decorated with ever
greens and flowers, and the tables, presided
over by fairy forms, were laden with substan.
tials and delicacies. While an abundance Of
every thing was provided, nearly all was dis
posed of, tbe'enterprise being literally patron
lied by the citizens generally, regardless of
denomination. This, was one of the most
pleasing incidents of the occasion, and is an
example worthy of emulation hereafter: We
learn the receipts; with the funds already in
hand, are amply sufficient to meet the expense
of the contemplated improvements on the
church edi6ce. .... f.. '.. ~'a

egrin pickets, who fell back to the main body.
An hour later fourteen battalions Of Ali Saib
came up, and without halting attacked the
Montenegrin position. Four determined at:
tacks we're made by the Turks, but in each
instance, they we're repulsedi by the Montene-
grins. Boursa Petrovich had thrown up two
rows of entrenchments behind these ramparts.
The Moptenegrins fought with safe retreat
into wooded bills always open behind them.
The third advance of the Turks was made
with eight battalions, led by Ali Saib in per-
son. Flushed with three victories, the Mon.
teneprins saw that their enemies came up to
the attack with little heart; therefore they
refrained from firing until they were within
200 yards, and then poured heavy volley
into their enemy's front, as a small body of
Montenegrin horsemen dashed out from either
side and fell upon the Aanks. At first the
Aanks wavered, but rapidly changing front,
killed many of the attacking party. The
centre came up without halting until it re-
ceived a second volley; then, through some
mistaken order, or because of disinclination
to advance, the Turks halted. The Monten-
egrins sprang over the parapet of their en-
trenchments and attacked the column with
bayonets. The Turks broke, but we're par
TALLY rallied by Ali Sab, and fell back about
two miles, in tolerable shape, to an open piece
of country. Meanwhile the Montenegrins
had reformed, and pursued the Turks. The
retreat soon became rout, and the Montene-
grin horsemen pursued the Turks to Spuz.
The Turkish dead at Plana along the road
certainly equalled 1000 men, besides many
wounded and few prisoners. ..."
