The First Confederate FIags.

The first Confederate flag thrown to
the breeze in Georgia was made by
Mrs. d. b. Woodruff, assisted by Mrs
d. B. To1nlinson, and was run up on
the flagstaff of the Enterprise planning
mills at the corner of First and Cherry
streets, and it was saluted with three
times three" and tiger blast from
the steam whistle. This was on March
4, 1861, at 4:3o p. m. The writer was
also present at the saluting of the
Rifles flag the next morning, and this
was undoubtedly the first flag raised by
any military organization in Georgia.
The flag on the Enterprise mill latter
the war known as the Dixie works. was
by 10 feet and made after the descrip
ton of the flag telegraphed from Mont
gomery, Ala, on the day of its adoption

Mrs. Holiday and myself were the

on their launches and the stage stopped.

The Opium Bill.

Mr.. EDITOR The promoters of
the opium bill before the Legisla-
ture present as their chief argument
in favor of licensing opium that as
it will be brought into the country,
We might as well license it and col
lect duty upon it. The duty is
put at So a pound, that being the
price paid, according to Rep. Ash
ford, to police officers, Custom
House officials, and others, to get
smuggled opium into the country.
The bill also provides that when a
Chinsman has used tin of opium
with the Government stamp upon
it, that he shall then DESTROY the
stamped tin. What would be
thought of business firm in Ho-
nolulu which had employees who
were robbing it SYSTEMATICALLY and
would still keep these men in their
positions? What would be thought
of the same firm if, instead of at
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1892-12-22

once dismissing the corrupt en-
ployees, the heads of the firm met
together and after openly and tire
somely asserting that their en-
ployees were raseals, gamblers,
etc., etc., still folded their hands
and said We CAN'T sFoP II? If it
be allowable to criticise the actions
of our Legislators, that is fair IL
lustration of what we see and hear
day by day in the Legislature. Is
it not disgracefnl beyond express
sion, that a body of men who are
elected by the people to protect the
interests of the country should in
effect say to Her Majesty that her
Ministers are keeping in office men
actively engaged In opium SNUG
Cling, etc., and that as Legisla-
ture they are reduced to the ex-
tremity of having to pass an opium
bill in order to protect themselves
against the breaking of the law
and robbery of the revenue by
their own employees?
If the members of the Legisla-
ture have really and finally come
to the conclusion that they are in
competent, by all means let the
people know it by passing this
opium bill. No body of men, other
than Legislators, would allow one or
more of their members to openly
and continuously assert that their
employees were opium smugglers,
etc., and not compel them to prove
their assertions.
If these charges against our Off
Gals be true, why does not the Leg
islature have the proof presented
and compel their dismissal, instead
of keeping them in Office and al
lowing, under the Legislative priv
ilege, the subordinates in the Ex-
ecutiye department, innocent or
guilty alike, to be stabbed in the
back by members wishing to use
their accusations as the means for
sadoung upon the country an mi
quitous opium bill2
This opium bill in its innocency
of construction provides that every
Chinaman, or others, shall destroy
his Observation-Disclosures tin as
soon as the opium in it is used.
And of course the Chinese will do
it It would never enter a China
mans head to disobey such a
law, especially when, if opium can
be got on shore for less expense
than SO a pound these same Gov
ernment-stamped tins could be
easily reflled with struggled
opium and resold for Government
opium.

Fruit Raising and Higher Prices

Fruit Raising and Higher Prices.
Mr.. EDITOR According to sta
tistics published in the London
Economist, the fruit export trade
of the West India islands increased
in two years from 100000
to 100000. AS soon as trans
portation facilities offered, the
producer caught on. The prin-
cipal outlet for that enormous fruit
trade is Galveston, Mobile, Pensa-
cola, and other American sea port
cities. With further means of get
ting our fruits to competing mar
kets, those parties engaged in rails
ing fruits on these Hawaiian ISL
ands should feel encouraged. And
as we are to have two new lines of
steamers to the Pacific coast, higher
prices will rule; local buyers must
advance, otherwise purchasing
agents may appear on the scene
from the other side of the water.

JEFFERSON Corroborated.

The biggest fish story of the season
comes from Saltwater, says the Green
wich, On. W Recorder, and strange to
say bears the evidence of truth. About
a month ago Tom Jefferson was fishing
in the Hudson and caught on to a fish
which pulled him out of his skiff. JEFF
ferson's story was laughed at when he
told it and he was told that he had been
using too much "bait.y Last week
Tuesday, William Tobin saw a large
fish floating on the water, but not drift
ing. He secured the dead fish and found
it caught by the gills on strong hempen
line attached to something in the bottom
of the river. 1t had in its mouth the
identical spoon and red rag which JEFF
ferson had lost. 1t was a pike and
weighed twenty-seven pounds.

drive ON with our wheei oeep IN the old
rut of graves. Trouble has wrinkled
your brow, and il bas Frosted your head.
Falling in this battle Of life, is there no
angel to bind our wounds2 Hath God
made this world with so many things to
hurt and none to heal? For this snake
bite of sorrow, is there no herb growing
by all the brooks to beal the poison
Blessed be God that IN the Gospel we
find the antidotei Christ has bottled an
ocean Of tears. How many thorns he
hath plucked out of human agonyi
Oh. he knows too well what it is to
carry a cross, not to help us carry oursI
He knows too well what il is to climb
the mountain, not to help us up the
steep. He knows too we'll what it is to
be prosecuted, not to help those who are
imposed upon. He knows too well what
it is to be sick, not to help those who
suffer. Aye, he knows too well what it
is to die, not to help us in our last ex-
trenity. Blessed Jesus, thou knowest
it all. Seeing thy wounded side, and
thy wounded hand, and thy wounded
feet, and thy wounded brow, we are
sure thou knowest it all.
Oh, when those into whose boom we
used to breathe our SORROWS are snatched
from us, blessed be God, the heart of
Jesus still beats, and when all other
lights go out and the world gets dark,
then we see coming out from behind
cloud something SO bright and cheering,
we know it to be the morning star of
the souls deliverance! The hand of
care may make you stagger, or the hand
of persecution may beat you down, or
the hand of disappointment may beat
you back, but there is hand, and it is

CHRIST IS ALL IN AL.

Let us go forth and gather the trophies
for Jesus. From Golconda mines we
gather the diamonds, from Ceylon banks
we gather the pearls, from all lands and
kingdoms we gather precious stones, and
we bring the glittering burdens and put
them down at the feet of Jesus and say:
"All these are thine. Thou art worthy" /"
We go forth again for more trophies.
and into one sheaf we gather all the
scepters of the earth, Of all royalties and
dominions, and then we bring the sheaf
of scepters and put it down at the feet
of Jesus and say, "Thou art King of
kings, and these thou hast conquered"
And then we go forth again TO gather
more trophies, and we bid the redeemed
OF all ages, the sons and daughters OF
the Lord Almighty, to come. We ask
them to come and offer their thanks
givings, and the hosts of heaven bring
crown and palm and scepter, and here
by these bleeding feet, aud by this riven
side, and by this wounded heart cry,
blessing and honor and glory and
power be unto him that sitteth upon the
throne and unto the Lamb forever and
forever!' Tell me of tear that he did
not weep. of burden that he did not
carry, Of a battle that he not fight, of a
victory that he did not achieve. IAN
in all is Jesus in the great plan of re-
demption.
remark again, Christ is everything
to the Christian in time of trouble. Who
has escaped troubleg We must all stoop
down and drink out of the bitter lake.
The moss has no time TO grow on the
buckets that come up out of the hearts
well dripping with tears. Great trials
