The following extract from letter of Mrs. Frank Fillmore. giving an ac- count of the flag of the Claremont Rifles, of South Carolina. which the Sophie iBibb Chapter. at It's last meet ing voted unanimously to return to the company. will he read with interest
 'arhe flag was given me, by MT John Spann, son of the Confederate Captain James A. Spann, who received the flag for the Ciaremont Rifles. MT. Spann told me that his father said there was no other flag in the End South Carolina Regiment, and thia company flag was used as a regimental flag. on several occasions. Upon hearing that, I re- ferred to Mrs. Davis.s book and found she said: When the fort (Sumter) was taken by the Confederates, the United States flag was taken down. and a white flag raised in it's stead.' I think that is the way it is worded. This be- Ing the only flag owned by the regi- ment must have been the one spoken of. The flag was "a mass Of shreds when I received it, and one person laughed at the ides of It's being ever made into the semblance of a flag again, but to me there never came any thought of failure. and each hour spent over this sad emblem. of our soldiefs' courage and devotion to principle, was to me like caressdng the sweet face of our dear lost dead. Every member present at the meeting of our Chapter when I presented the flag, was wiping her eyes; 1t was like the dead past re- turned when we thought of the men who so proudly bore that banner to war. Tell them this flag must be kept in the Capitol and I wish State offl- cer would come for 1t. It must not be lightly treated"'-

BUSY TIMES ARE COMING
SOON At PEARL HARBOR

After the arrival of the Pacific Mail
steamship Siberia from San Francisco
on January Is, there will be a general
movement toward Pearl Harbor of
dredging men, contractors, and naval
officials, and the millions of dollars ap-
propriated for the development of the
naval base will be drawn upon for ae-
tual work. Aboard TIE Siberia will be
Walter F. Dillingham; of the Hawaiian
Dredging Company, to which was
awarded the contract for the dredging
of Pearl Harbor's channel and the ap-
proaehes to the sites for the drydock,
wharves, etc.
Local representatives. of the Ha-
waiian Dredging Company have receiv-
ed very little detailed information from
Mr.. Dillingham; as to his plans for con
Quoting the work, but they are of the
opinion that as the United States gov
eminent is in such hurry that the
contractor viii lose no time in starting
1t is understood that Mr.. Dillingham;
and George De4ison of the Oahu Rail
way Company have acquired the best
and most modern dredging parapher-
MALTA, and this will be put on the
outside work-that is, for the outer
channel and entrance to the channel
This task will be the most difficult
part of the contract, as the dredgers
will be exposed to all sorts of weather,
including possible konas, heavy swells
and steady trade winds. The material
dredged out will be difficult to trans
port to the locality approved as a
dumping ground sThe contractors who
did the first dredging job on the chan
mel entrance failed to accomplish the
work, and after considerable loss, Wal
ter Dillingham; took hold and completed
the job satisfactorily. It is understood.
also, that Walter Dillingham; will per
sonally look after the outer dredging.
The inner dredging will be easier,
and, although considerable blasting
may have to be done, the entire inner
work will be no more difficult than the

Hawaiian Dredging Company, which
was completed in half the allotted time

SICILY CALAMITY WILL
SEND TOURISTS HERE

One effect of the great calamity which
has befallen Italy will be that many
American tourists who make the Medi-
terranean trips nearly every winted will
this year stay out of the danger zone
and many of them win probably take
their trips either to Hawaii, Florida or
Southern California. If there were
ships enough to carry them, the tourists
who would come here during the next
few months would be very, very many
more than Hawaii has ever before had.
This is the opinion of FL. 2. Wood,
secretary of the Promotion Committee,
who keeps in touch with the tourist
movements on the mainland and speaks
from knowledge.
''The winter of the San Francisco
earthquake, Hawaii suffered, many PEG.

many and Hawaii, if we had the steam
ship service, would certainly get many.

things have advertised US. We will get

contracting propositions that has been
let by the United States Government
on the aPcifc Coast in many day,
and the new company win be in every
way prepared to take care of each de-
tail of the work if their bid is ac-
cepted.
For months past Lord has had his
office stacked with preliminary plans
and specifications, and he has now
worked things down to a systematic
basis. Among other things, the new
company will probably purchase a
dredger, and this will mean an outlay
of about $4,000 or 100000 at the
very start. The Incorporation papers
of the new company, which is headed
by Lord, will probably be filed with the
Territorial Treasurer in a very few
days.
Whether or not the new company
secures the Pearl Harbor dock con
tract, it will probably conduct a gem
eral dredging business here.

W.O. Smith to
Mayor Fern

Editor Advertiser.-It is a great pity
that Mayor Fern is taking the course
which he has so far pursued.
The voters of the county elected six
Republican Supervisors and one Demo
erat; and a Democrat for Mayor. The
mayor, acting under dangerous advice,
mas attempted to control the county
government without regard to the
Judgment or control of the Board of
supervisors. He can not obtain con-
troll bv following the course thus far
mapped out for him; but if he con
Ilnues along the lines which he has so
Tar been persuaded to pursue, he will
do much to injure the development of
popular government in Hawaii and in
Jufe the native Hawaiians.
Mayor Fern can vet do himself
credit and do much for his own people
II he will follow his own good iudg-
inent and seek the advice of those who
qeslre the best good of Hawaii and the
Hawaiian people.

Everything that the Republican Su-
pervisors have done since they took
the bit in their teeth at the hour of
noon, Monday, has received the I'M
qualified legal approval of the County
Attorney; everything that the Mayor
has done during the same period of
time is wrong, void and without effect,
according to the same legal authority.
Such was the substance of the opinion
given yesterday by the City Attorney
at the meeting of the Board of Super
visors, an opinion in answer to re-
quest from His Honor for legal advice
on some of the knotty points at issue
between him and the Board. Accom-
panying the advice on the points to be
covered, the City Attorney gave some
gratuituous advice of his own initia-
tive, gravely reproving His Honor for
things undone that should have been
done and things done which should
never have been done.
This was one leading incident at the
adjourned meeting of the Supervisors
yesterday afternoon. Other incidents
of the session were the presentation of
reports from the standing committees
named by the Board in opposition to
the committees of the Mayor, reports
which the Mayor refused to accept but
which were adopted by majority
vote. Supervisor Logan again led the
meeting, doing all the demanding of
the various questions and then putting
them himself after the thrice repeated
refusal of His Honor.
These reports named the various city
and county employees, under the au-
thority given the committees by the
rules adopted. In this respect there was
progress made, the naming of the Of
ficers and employees of the city and
county being a further development of
the majority's plans which bring the
inevitable clash nearer and the i'm
perative court ruling closer.
At the road supervisor s office there
was something doing, Fern s nominee,
Wilson, finding himself and his office
force locked out and Tommy Cummins
and his office force in fortified posses
sion. During the day the door was not
once unlocked, all business being trans
acted through half-open window.
Captain Coster still holds possession
of the stables, although a few of the
mules were sent out yesterday TO some
necessary road work
All Present and Accounted For.
There was about half the crowd of
the night before present yesterday af-
ternoon when the Board resumed its
adjourned session at three clock, the
interested ones being principally city
and county employees, some in process
of passing, others in process of arriv-
ing. This crowd was stolid and there
were no Interruptions to the general
trend of the meeting except persist
I ent murmuring.
There were no minutes of the night
before ready for reading, so that in
Fiction and the certain scrap there
would have been over their acceptance
were avoided. There was no time lost
in locking horns, however, the very
first item of business bringing about
Il refusal of the Mayor to accept re-
port and put motion.
