Serbs evacuate from Muslim-led offensive
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) ? Bosnian
Serbs evacuated civilians from a northwestern town
and fought Sunday to hold off Muslim-led government
troops who are on their most successful offensive
of the war.
For a second straight day, government forces captured
Serb positions in the mountains near Saraje
vo. In Saturdays combat, government artillery fire
landed near a U.N. observer post, prompting warnings
of a NATO airstrike if it happened again.
Civil defense officials went door-to-door in the besieged
Bosnian capital, advising residents to stay indoors
because of fears that Serbs ? after a ninemonth
lull?would renew bombardment of the city
in retaliation.
Hospital officials said one civilian was killed and
about 10 wounded late Sunday by shelling in the
government-held Sarajevo suburb of Hrasnica, which
also had been hit Saturday.
Cease fires ease Halloween fears
BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP)?The devil and
the skeleton boy leaned against the City Cemetery
wall, shafed an illicit cigarette and waited for the
barrage to begin.
Rockets soon lit up the night sky over Catholic
west Belfast, casting the pro-IRA wall murals and
nearby British army fortress in red, white and purple
? and families stood on their front porches cheering.
"Thems're peace bombs. Betterh the real thing,"
i < A i i n iii i <i*
saia iu-year-oia oeamus, in sxeieion costume, to ms
satanic classmate, Damien.
For Seamus and thousands of children in Northern
Ireland, this is their first Halloween without real
fear following cease-fires by the Irish Republican
Army and Protestant paramilitaries.
The separate truces, beginning with the IRA's on
Sept 1, brought peace to this British province for the
first time since Protestant-Catholic rioting erupted
in 1969.
Halloween festivities started over the weekend.
For once, parents did not have to worry that their
trick-or-treating children would get caught in gunfire
or a bomb attack.
"Everyone's eryoying this Halloween more with
the peace on, naturally,'' said Alcwyn McKee, 35, a
Protestant youth worker in west Belfast's Shankill
Road.

DORADEVERA Staff Writer
About 200 Confederate flag supporters
marched to the State House Saturday
to kick off a series of statewide rallies to
keep the flag flying.
"Help save the flag," they chanted
while marching up Main Street, wearing
business suits with rebel flag neckties,
flag jackets, skirts, T-shirts and
jeans and even regular Sunday dress.
With elections only eight days away,
flaer suDDorters are steDDinc ud their
campaign to seek support from state legislative
candidates, including those in
the gubernatorial race.
Saturday's march, led by William
Carter, head of the S.C. Council of Conservative
Citizens, was the first step in
rallying support before the General Assembly
meets in January.
Flag supporters plan to protest outside
the AT&T building downtown at 8
am. Tuesday. Thomas Persons, an AT&T
executive, is one of the plaintiffs in the
lawsuit against flying the flag, according
to The State's Sunday issue.
Rep. Charles Sharpe, R-Aiken, spoke
