Bora amid the first flames of America's fight for freedom. I am the symbol of a country that has grown from a little group of thirteen colonies to a united no tion of forty-eight sovereign states. Planted firmly on fire high pinnacle of American Faith my gently fluttering folds have proved an in spiration to untold millions. Men have followed, me into bottle with unwavering courage. They have looked upon me as a symbol of national unity. They have prayed that they and their fellow citizens might continue to enjoy the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, which have been granted to every American as the heri tage of free men. So long as men love liberty more than life itself: ao long as they treasure the priceless privileges bought with the blood of our forefathers; so long as the principles of truth, justice and charity for all remain deeply rooted in human hearts, I shall con tinue to be the enduring banner of the United States of America. 1 AM OLD GLORY!

S. Senate.”’ Bates asserted in a statement released Tuesday: “Let me say once and for all that I am not seeking the gover nor’s office in order to use the prestige of that high position as a stepping stone to other political honor.

Tk9 school was established under the will of Dr. John de la Howe, a French immigrant, who settled first in Charleston in 1760, later removing to Abbeville district.
