Whether it is in the spinning room shown here, or any other stage of fiber processing, you'll find the extra durability and quality that U S builds into bobbins, wooden tubes, spools, cones, and rolls save you money. Remember, your total intesttnent in yarn carriers runs up to a large expenditure — as much or more than you pay for most units of processing machinery.

Often these high starting salaries will be ofset by a policy of slower advancement. Many textile concerns are now going to the high schools with the real facts about opportunities in tex- tiles.

STANDARD OF THE WORLD THE STATE FLAG CONES OF SOUTH CAROLINA C. H. Ferguson The cover of this magazine is a picture of South Carolina's state flag. If the blue flag, which flies BE S over our state institutions does not coincide with this flag, it is a natural thing because no law has been made governing its structure. The law states that the colors shall be blue and white, and that the symbols shall be a crescent and a palmetto tree, but SONOCO's team of research experts further details are not given. Therefore, the color and modern mass production methods blue could be any of the various shades of blue and the palmetto tree, a picture of any of the different have been at the service of the textile kinds of palmettos. industry for more than half a century.

    Section 1 General Information BRIGADIER GENERAL MICAH JENKINS CAMP 1569 SONS OF CONFEDERATE VETERANS MEMBER HANDBOOK GENERAL INFORMATION Heritage of Honor The citizen-soldiers who fought for the Confederacy personified the best qualities of America. The preservation of liberty and freedom was the motivating factor in the South's decision to fight the Second American Revolution. The tenacity with which Confederate soldiers fought underscored their belief in the rights guaranteed by the Constitution. These attributes are the underpinning of our democratic society and represent the foundation on which this nation was built. Today, the Sons of Confederate Veterans is preserving the history and legacy of these heroes, so future generations can understand the motives that animated the Southern Cause. The SCV is the direct heir of the United Confederate Veterans, and the oldest hereditary organization for male descendants of Confederate soldiers. Organized at Richmond, Virginia in 1896, the SCV continues to serve as a historical, patriotic, and non-political organization dedicated to insuring that a true history of the 1861-1865 period is preserved. The SCV has ongoing programs at the local, state, and national levels which offer members a wide range of activities. Preservation work, marking Confederate soldiers' graves, historical re- enactments, scholarly publications, and regular meetings to discuss the military and political history of the War Between the States are only a few of the activities sponsored by local units, called camps. All state organizations, known as Divisions, hold annual conventions, and many publish regular newsletters to the membership dealing with statewide issues. Each Division has a corps of officers elected by the membership who coordinate the work of camps and the national organization.

  • Flags of the State Navies in the Revolutionary War 23
    Flags of the State Navies in the Revolutionary War 23 Flags of the State Navies in the Revolutionary War: A Critical Overview Peter Ansoff Introduction During the American Revolution, eleven of the thirteen American states operated state navies of one sort or another.1 Over the years, there has been considerable discussion in the vexillological literature about the flags used by the state navies. This paper summarizes the known evidence related to those flags and suggests some avenues for further research. The first part provides a very brief overview of the state navies them- selves, including their composition, the nature of their operations and their chronologies. The second part presents a series of “case studies” document- ing what we know (or don’t know) concerning the flags used by several of the navies. The State Navies The state navies were separate and distinct organizations from the Con- tinental Navy organized by Congress. Unlike the Continental Army, which was initially formed by merging troops raised by the individual states into a national force, the Continental Navy and the state navies were formed separately and in parallel. In several cases (Massachusetts, for example), the state navy was not even established until several months after the creation of the Continental Navy. There were, of course, a few ships that served in both state and Continental navies (the Rhode Island sloop Katy, which Raven, Vol. 17, 2010, pp. 23–46 ISSN 1071-0043 ©2010 NAVA 24 Peter Ansoff became the Providence in the Continental Navy, is a famous example), but the organizations were separate and distinct.2 For discussion purposes, the state navies can be conveniently divided into three groups.

This book attempts to give a short, simple history of South Carolina from the first settlement to the present day. Biographical sketches of rulers and leaders are arranged in close connection in order to furnish a con- tinuous historical narrative. The story of the lives of many great and good men of the state is of necessity left out; the boys and girls of South Carolina must read about them in larger books than this. Many worthy and noble women have also helped to build up and strengthen the state of South Carolina. In Colonial and Revolutionary days, and most of all during the period of the Southern Confederacy, they toiled and suffered in behalf of their people. It is not possible, however, in these brief pages to give the story of their deeds of devotion and self-sacrifice. The statements made in this book are based through- out on public records and on the original writings of those who had a share in the events and deeds herein described.
