The last bearer R of the old Haird regiment flag was * William Lamb, of Company G, of Lau^ jrens. The tattered and worn flag was ^ brought to Newberry by Comrade T. J.

It -roac rflrrifvl hv resriment from Manassas to Appamattov. T^ere are' only two survivors of tlie regiment who at any time carried tJhe flag while ! tie regiment was in action, and they! are W. G.

Tie glaring injustice of tbe government's treatment of the railroads in the matter of carrying the mails is brought out in a comparison of what Uncle Sam pays his own road and what he pays others. Tie government owned Panama railroad received last year, according to a statement by the committee on railway mail pay, $2.77 for each ton of mail carried a mile, while the private roads in the United States, according to estimates of the postoffice department, received about 10 cents per tone for eacl'a mile. If this is the kind of extravagance the government ownership of railroads stands for, it will be a long while before the voters of this country -will o-ii-o if- corimic pnnsirieration. Had thf> o** ^ u privately owned railroads of the United States been paid on tee same basis as the Panama railroad, instead of receiving $56,000,000, or about one-fifth of the postoffice department's revenues, they would have received $1,557,000,000, or more than five times the total revenues of the department. The railroads 'have not asked congress to advance mail' pay rates. All they have asked for is to he paid for all the mail they carry and for all the special facilities and services they furnish the postoffice department. Why not, Uui cle Sain?
