A Case in Point.
Now whose to blame for this situation?
The fashion of course and the women
themselves who encourage and follow the
lead of the tN entieth century juggernaut.
To prove the point we making let
us cite before the bar of investigation four

prevailing mode, extremely simple spring
gowns. Witness number one is "a foul

1t is a slavish reproduction of a Paris
model and it is one of the new corded
foulards in deep apricot tone, with vivid
red carnations having grey green, leaves
damasked on 1t. At intervals among the
flowers cream lace medalions are set,
and the foulard IS cut away beneath in
order to afford grimpses of a silvery green
taffeta petticoat, which serves as foun-
dalton. The foot or the skirt is garnished
with dark red velvet bebe ribbon, lace and
silver green taffeta embroidered in tiny
dark red silk dots The waist has a Moor

appliqued onto the little fouard body and
the front of the waist, with the collar,
is made of dotted green taffeta. ..

A New Horse Disease

Recently a disease has appeared
among horses in New York which
seemc to be very fatal, and none Of the
veterinary surgeons seems to know
much about it other than that it is very
contagious. For some time horsemen
hereabouts have been apprehensive that
it. would spread as far IS this State, and
have been locking out for it with much
concern. A telegram received by the
governor Friday may mean that it has
already reached South Carolina and the
veterinary surgeon has been asked By
the governor by wire to look after the
matter very carefully. Here is the
telegram received, which is signed by
Mr.. LsR,y Springs Of Lancaster:
please have veterinary surgeons come
to Lancaster at once. Epidemic among
mules; one dead; four sick. Local
horsemen don't knoRD anything about
it. Please send him at once. Answer"

He Died for Her.

Samuel Logan, son of Judge s. T.
Logan, was drowned in the Tennessee
river at Knoxville. Tenn, Thursday
evening after rescuing Miss Guion Of
New Orleans from the same fate. A
crowd Of young society people had
gone on the river for boating. In
attempting to ride the wave behind a
stern wheel of steamboat the boat
dipped and Miss Guion, thinking the
boat was overturned, leaped into the
river. Logan followed and kept her
from sinking. After a hard struggle
in the turbulent waves he got Miss
Guion to the boat. As she vas being
pulled into the boat and before help
could be extended, young Logan sank
from exhaustion and drowned.

the end Of the flag. Actual test of the flag
indicated fatal objections. When wrapped
on its staff few furls of the canton disap-
peared from view, leaving in sight only the
white field. The soldiers ridiculed it as the
alag Of truce, applying other epithets, and
the new flag fell into dsuse. It is not likely
that many of them were ever made. There
are Confederate Veterans now living who
never saH or heard Of the flag Of 1863, known
ijocularly as the flag of truce, so-cslled by
the gallant boys who believed with all the
zeal Of their hearts and the courage born Of
deep conviction impressed upon their souls
that the white flag would be raised by the
other eide to the contention.
BEAUREGARD BATTLE FLAG.
The national flag last authorized by Con-
gress in bill enacted March 4, 1865, con
sisted OF the flag with the sDoW-White field
described in the foIe Iegoing paragraph, being
the same in all particulars as the flag adopted
By the confederate Congress, May l, 1868,
with an additional quartering, consisting of q
vertical, bar of red at the end Of the flag, the
red bar to be in width one b slf Of that portion
of the flag between the right-hand border Of
the canton and Of the flag.
In addition to the Be4uregard battle flag
there were other battle flags, which, while
not san,ioned by the Confederate Congress,
were used on bloody battleaelds with the
authority Of generals ofcosps and divisions.
One of these battle flags was that borne by
the regiments and brigsdes Of Gen. Pat Gle
burne's divisions. It consisted Of field Of
blue, bordered with white and silver moon
quartered in the very centre of the blue field.
The veterans who fought under the com
mand of Gen. Pat Cleburne remember the
beautiful moon flag, which in camp, on the
march, or in the tumult Of battle, cheered
their hearts and aroused them to deeds Of
va.or which are still going down the ages,
and will always have p ace on the pages
Of history.
