The Palmetto Regiments Flag.
Youths Companion.

A famous flag will be borne by the yeter.
ans from South Carolina at the Confederate
reunion which is to be held at Louisville
the last OF the present month. Its history
is this:
In 1916, when the South Carolina regi.
ment started for the Mexican War, the
ladies of Charleston presented to it flag
the Stars and Stripes. In Mexico this
flag was so riddled with bullets that il
would no longer hold together, and Gen
Winfield Scott gave the regiment another
flag, while still in Mexico.
The new flag was carried throughout
the rest of the Mexican War. 1t was the
third, if not the second, American flag
planted on the walls of ChapuItepec. There
it waved until the Palmetto regiment
moved on, and was placed above the Garita
de Belen by Gen. Quitman. 1t was after
ward the first flag planted on the walls of
the City OF Mexico, having been hauled
up by the South Carolinians three hours
before any other troops entered the city
This flag was, of course not used during
the Civil War. The original flag of the
regiment was captured by Sherman's
army when that army passed through
Chester, S. C.
In 1898, when the I'd S. C. regiment
assembled for service i'll the war against
Spain, the flag which had been placed on
the walls of Chapultepec and Belen was
brought forth and committed to the keep
ing of the regiment. Concentrating
American success in a war against a
Spanish-speaking country, it was hoped
that fortunate adventure might befall it
in Cuba.
Such an adventure did befall it, for if was
the first American flag hoisted over Moro
Castle at Havana. The flag is probably
the only one in the United States which
has been carried in two foreign wars, and
the only one which has been hoisted at
two foreign capitals. II was brought
back from Cuba in powder-sack, and
to the survivors of the Palmetto
regiment of the Mexican War.

Growth of Export Trade.

From statement issued by the Chief OF
the Bureau of Statistics there is shown q
remarkable growth in the export of Ameri-
can manufactures for the year ending with
March, 1900, as compared with previous
years. For example, the United States ex-
ported for the corresponding period of 1898
Of iron and steel SIS, 1925, 900, for the wear
ending with March, 1900, SOS, ,912, 900: of
copper and manufactures thereof the
value of exports for the year ending with
March, 1898, We're So, 100000 in round
numbers, and for the same period ending
with March, 1900, $40, 500, 900 The rela,
tive increase in the export of agricultural
implements is one of the items where the
growth is most marked, being for the year
ending with March, 1898, ST., ,S64, 700 worth
of this class of goods, and two years later
for the same period, ending with March
last, the amount was 50. .663 900. There
are many other items in the list of leading
exports where the percentages in cur favor
are equally startling.

'Tis glorious day as they march away,

With their heads held high, meath smiling SKY
With their banners proudly streaming
There are friends 10 greet all a-down the street,
Mid n dcafenIng rain Of cheers;
And kcrcLlcfS wave to the passing brave
Baptized in wOman'S tears.
HuHah! HuTah, to the fair display
Where q thousand pennOns Wayel
HuHdh! HurTah' as they march away,
Our regiment strong and brave!
Hurrah Iurrah, what u glorious dayl
Hurrah! Hurrah uurrahi
And the gallant band, checred on every hand
Marches brayely away.
A battered few. in their war WON blue
Come drcarily UP The street;
But ghosts they seem Oi u martial dream
As old faces We kindly greet
Their hearts Hre chill, the drums are stiu,
They march with q solemn tread;

There IS mourning for thousands dead
They have left their slain on. hill and plain.
In valley. on uIDunta taln-sidc.
Their flag droops low no Summer glow

STATE rIREMEN,s ASSOCIATION.
VIII Meet Next Year in Westminster
Prizes In Various Contests-Large
Attendance Expected.

When it was intimated two weeks ago that
Westminster could secure the State Fireinen' 5
Convention next year if the citizens desired
to have the meeting here, the Fire Depart
ment took up the matter and appointed a
committee to ascertain the sense of business
men upon it. The committee met with a
hearty response, and about $4,000 toward
bearing the necessary expense was pledged.
This amount was subscribed by about twenty
persons. About $3.50. 90 more will be needed,
and this sum will no doubt be cheerfully sub
scribed when needed.
With this assurance of financial aid the
Westminster Fire Department invited the As
ISOLATION to hold its next annual meeting here,
and at a meeting Of the Executive Cor miitee
of the Association in Baltimore on Tuesday
the invitation was accepted. The meeting
will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday, June
11th and 18th.
In addition to the convention there will be
prize drills, hook and ladder, reel and engine
contests. The Executive Committee have
assured the Westminster Firemen that they
will use their best endeavors TO have Il large
convention and large attendance OF fire COM
panies.
The Executive Committee decided 10 offer
prizes of SIS and $25 for the best and next
best drilled company in the association.
Westminster will offer the following prizes ::
Hook and Ladder Conlest-Frst prize, SIS;
second, $25.
Reel Contest-First prize, SIS; second, $25.
Engine Contest-First prize, $50; second,
S25.
A prize of $25 will be awarded the com
pany having the largest number of uniformed
men in the parade.
The usual rules will govern the contest, the
prizes being open only TO the companies be
longing to the State Firemen's Association.
