STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER.

| Last Sunday morning the Stars and
| stripes unfoldcd to the breeze on
| Main street In Walhalla. 1t is ap.
| propriatc to the times, and there
| should be others OF these beautiful
emblcms floating from buildings and
| at other points in the town. 1t was
peculiarly appropriate, and Il fitting
| tribute to the old Confederate sol
dicr, that this flag noatcd from a
staff planted within the plot on Main
street on which stands the figure OF
the Confederate soldier. pcrpetuating
in marble the mercy OF the soldiers
OF the Confcdcracy. II was also ap-
propriatc that this flag WAS planted
there by the Boy Scouts. The folds
o. our beautiful national emblem
waving over the head Of the COnfcdc-
rate figure is calculated at once to
| inspire love OF country and Il rev
crcncc for the men who wore the
gray in the years Of the strife among
ourselves.
There should be Il large national
emblem floating from the top OF
Oronec'S Court House. and there will
br before the present session Of
Court has come to Il close If the cX-
pressed wishes Of Il number Of citi-
Zcns can be met. It will take about
SO to put Il nag Of suitable size and
or good quality over the Court
House. Would YOU like to see il
floating there? The flag is going to
be put up. the cost is going to be met
by, citizens Of Walhalla, and nobody
is going to feel the loss of the con-
tribution necessary to get the lag in
position Il reminder always Of the
glorious fact that We are Americans.
that we stand for America and
American Institutions.
We are not going to ask any man
for set amount toward the meeting
Of the expense Of the flag and it's
proper erection. We want the citi-
ZcnS OF Walhalla TO come forward
with contributions to help cover the
cost. The Coulter pledges 81 on the
FUND. Come in and hand us your
contribution. 1t will be acinOwl-
edged through these columns.
The Stars and Stripes constitute
our national emblem. To our mind
there is no more beautiful emblem
on the face Of the earth. When
true Americans see our flag floating
to the breeze the blood uuickens in
the veins. the step becomes lighter
and national pride aud a spirit OF
patriotism fills tho very being. There
should be national cmblcms display
cd i'm various places in our midst, and
we hope to sec them become num-
crOuS.

Governor Manning's coming because
they felt sure that he would be able
to come this year. However, when
he was notified Of his selection as the
chief speaker for next Friday It was
learned that the Governor would on
that date be performing a similar
service In one of the counties in the
lower part Of the State. He was
therefore. compelled to lay aside all
thought Of being able to come to the
Oc0ncc celebration.
The committee thcreup0n turned
TO one Of OcOrec's sons, Ex-Governor
Martin +. Anscl. Of Grccnvillc, who
has accepted the invitation to take
