RETURN OF THE FLAG.
A Brief History OF the SaIuda Flag,
Which Was Returned by Mrs.
Lacy, Several Weeks Aso---1he
Correspondence: !

Through the kindness of Col. NJ. D.
Harman, we are able to present to
our readers this week brief history
of the famous old war flag, which
disappeared when Sherman's army
passed through this country. and was
returned by Mrs. Lacey, of Wyan-
dotte, Mich, several weeks ago. We
also give the correspondence between
Mrs. Lacey and Col. Harman which,
within itself, makes very interesting
reading.
The saluda Guards, Company O..
1st Regt. 8. G. ". under command Of
Col. Maxey Gregg, Gen. M. L. Bon
hams Brigade. was organized in
April, 1861, under the call of Gov.
Pickens, for six months State troops
before the storming of Fort Sumter.
This company was made up of the
Minute Men of this place and the
Saluda Guards at Saiuda Factory
with the following officers: Capt. w.
Moultrie Gibbes; Geo. w. Meetze, 1st
Lieut.; Ed Hook, End Lieut.; Leml.
Hook, End brevet lieut.; DR.. F. Sim
Lewie, orderly sergent.
This company did service first at
Richmond and later at Manassas, Bull
Run, Centerville, Fairfax, German
town and took part in the Vienna
fight, on the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road, said to have been one of the
first great battles of the war.
At the expiration of the enlistment,
the Saluda Guards was disbanded at
Richmond, the members returning
home and later joined other compa-
nies.
The flag. the subject Of this article,
was presented to the Saluda Guards
by the ladies of Lexington on the 18th
of January, 1851. OF those Surviving
and now in mind are, Mrs. Mary Jane
Norris, now of Edge6eld, and Mrs.
n. F. Harman, of Batesburg. There
we're many others prominent in the
work, some of whom are now dead.

PARIS. KENTUCKY, FRIDAY. MARCH rs, 1909
Paris Woman Accused Of Murder.

Mrs. Russell Culbertson died yester-
Gay morning at Vincennes, Ind, from
having swallowed or having been fore
ed to swallow carbolic acid. She was
found in a shed in the rear of the
home of her husbands father late
Wednesday afternoon and was bound
and gagged. Her arm and head were
bruised as if she had struggled with
her assailant. After being carried into
the house she said: "A man and
woman dragged me out into the shed
and forced me to swallow something. "
Then she became unconscious and
continued So until death.
The woman's husband, Russell Gull
bertson, bookkeeper for lumber COM
pany at Lawrenceville, H., declares
that he is confident that his wife was
murGe ed by persons whose identity he
knew, but he would give no further in
formation except to the police.
Mrs. Culbertson has lately received
several letters threatening that if she
did not give up her husband she would
be killed. The handwriting was identi-
fed as that of a woman who was a
friend of Culbertson before he was
married.
So far the search of the police has
not resulted in discovering trace of
the man and woman. The police have
the name of a woman who is said to
have been heard from a year and a
half ago at Paris, KY.
The husband of the dead woman is
Frustrated. He will not discuss the
murder except to say he is certain the
woman accused is guilty.

By Georgia Bertha

T there is one thing that l am simply
screaming about. it is an automobile
/ Consequently, when Mr.. Swift offered
to take three of US to the city and
back again last Sunday morning,
could not get ready quickly enough
Fifteen year old Tom was going, OF
course. He could not be pried away
from an automobile with crowbar-
or is 1t cold chisel that is used for
prying? Anyway. Tom went with US
l hunted up Cousin Sue and per-
suaded her to come along. She is
afraid of automobiles, as a rule, but
she said she would not mind going out
in Mr. Swift's car, because he had told
us that he was such a careful driver
II used to speed" he had said just the
evening before, but l have stopped
It, | came very near having col
lision one day when l was racing with
another machine. Since that time l
never go fast
could not go, and l could not, either.
The preacher is staying right here
in the house, and we should all go to
church." she saide
I'VE will get back in time for that,
Mr.. Swift said. Il just want to get my
mail from the hotel. l did not tell
them to forward it when / came up
here and then we can come right
straight home"
So Cousin got her hat and veil and
came with us. We were going at O
lively rate, only few miles from
home, when we heard a sudden Kissing
sound 1t was puncture in one of the
back tires. We all got out of the car
and Mr.. Swift and Tom took off their
coats and went to work.
/ had never seen tire taken off
and taken to pieces. which, by the
way, Mr. Swift said that he himself
had never done before; all of his other
accidents having happened near ga
rage, and Tom never had undertaken
anything of the kind. either So none
of us minded it one bit, unless 1t was
Cousin Sue. She was afraid 1t would
make US late for church. She and
stood around and looked on while Mr.
Swift and Tom spread out their tools
and things. Joe. the driver at the
