A, 13th South Carolina, a Laurens Company, leceived by Local Daughters. Mrs. J. S. Bennett, president of the Joseph 13. Kershaw chapter, Daughters of the Confederacy, has just received fron Aiss 'lary 11. Poppeim, of 'Charleston, former president general of the Daughters of the Confederacy, a bat'le flag of the Confederacy, sup posed to have ,been that of the comi 1 pany which went out frot the lower 'I)art of the county soon after the fall of Fort Sumter. The flag bears the inscription on oie side "Martin Guards PreseiKedi -by Ladies of Laurens." The flag waB forwarded by Mlsa; Poppenlimln with a letter stating that it 'was sent to her by Mrs. Paul Roman, of Decatur, Ga., who had expressed the wish that it be priesenlted to the 11. 1). C. chapter in the home of the flag's company. Aliss Poppenlhelill also stated that the flag was brought from Richmond by Paul Roman when that city was evacuated by the Confederates and that it had been In the possession of Alrs. Roman since that time. The name "Roman" will be recognized by many as that of an old South Carolina family oL Huguenot ancestry. Judge 0. Q. Thompson, one of the few surviving veterans who went out to war upon the fall of Fort Sumter, was shown the flag yesterday. While he said that lie could not he certain of its origin, still ho thought that it belonged to the company raised by Capt. R. L. Bowden in the lower part of the county, about Martin's De pot. This company was known as Co. A, 13th South Carolina Volunteers, and went to Charleston in the fall of 1810 and from there went to Richmond in the spring of '61. 'By -that time all of the individurl company and regi mental flags had given place to the Stars and Bars, the Confederate -bat tle cnblem, and no doulbt was deposit ed in Riclmniond upon its arrival there. The flag is made of a fine texture of silk. The background on the front is or w-hite, with a green palmetto tree, the lettering being in gold. The back has the blue background with one in scription "Constitution . and Liberty" and another "In the name of 'the Lord our God 'we w-ill hold up our flag. Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free." The flag will be displayed by Mrs. Bennett at the meeting of' the Daugh ters of 'the Confederacy tomorrow af ternoon.
