~ IS LAST PUBLIC APPEARANCI
The news of Gen. Hampton's deat
was scarcely a surprise, yet it was nc
*.expected for a few daya more at leas
'The old soldier had been in failin
health for some months. His la,
public appearance was in Charles
ton on the occasion of the South Carn
lna college centennial, December 191
last. On that occasion there were tu
occasions upon which the aged her
spoke, and he made brilliant speecht
exciting great enthusiasm. One speec
was in the auditorium; the other at tI
banquet that night Gen. Hamptc

years. He came back to Columbia anc
S soon his friends saw that the end was
approaching. During the past feu
months he has been steadily growinp
weaker, though up to a short time ago
he continued to take his daily drive
accompanied by his sons. Six days ag'
the general became very weak and had
to take to his bed. He fully realizec
that the end wz near. During the lasi
24 hours he had been conscious onl3
b at times.
WHEN THE END CAME.
On Thursday evenng Gen. Hamptor
had a long farewell talk with one of
his sisters, in which he expressei
beautiful sentiments. To Bishop Ca
pers and to one of his devoted friend,
and comrades he expressed himself it
t beautiful terms, forgiving all enemies
d and referring to the great beyond.

surgeon general on his staff in the Con
C federate army. He passed away peace

e sleep. Such was the end of a grand
man's career, the end of a man greal
s iti life and still great in death.
His last.words except some. sacrad tc

Dr. Taylor said he died of valvulai

the general having reached his 84th
birthday just two weeks ago.

front of the portico, and twining the
same material about the columns.
Knots of crepe were placed on the

When the news had reached the sec

modesty. Possibly it is t soon to
write the history of the ti es.
I desire to utter no inslncerity, for
among the leaders of-the' State there
has always been differen4es (as there
will be among a strong ;people.) Men
will differ as to politics a*nd what may
be thought for the best' interest of
the State by some will not be readily
approved by others. This is natural
and necessary. But thro'igh his whole
career his modest and manly worth
stood out, and his sincdrity and his
rugged honesty and patriotism one
never doubted. He has left a legacy
of honor. In his death the 'State has
lost a faithful son and humanity has
lost a friend.
It is meet, just and proper that in
recognition of his p.iblic services, no
less than in recognition of his private
virtues as a man, th-st this court do ad

until tomorrow morning.
THE VETERANS.
Commander Starling of Camp Hamp
ton, as soon -as informed of the death.
at once detailed a number of the mem
bers of the camp to act as a guard of
honor at Gen. Hampton's bier, each
veteran to wear his Confederat. gray
uniform. Those selected were W. J.
Cathcart, E. J. Jones, M. A. Bridges,
Walter Stratton, Dr. J. W. Flinn, C. M.
Douglas, U. R. Brooks, Louis Levin,

gentlemen promptly appeared in their
uniforms and went to the residence,
carrying their crepe-draped :amp ban
ner Which was left at the residence.
The family appreciated the camp's offer
of the guard, but declined to keep the
old. soldiers up all night, owing to the
presence of the young soldiers. T,he
veterans' guard will act tomorrow.

father's training he tame a good
horseman, a famous huer and 'an ac
complished fisherman. He served in
.th Legislatue, g. Sout Carolina in
ea'ly life, but his polital views were
.thse of a Democrat of national rath

to be elected and=two governients were
organized, but Mr. Chamberlain finally
yielded his' claim. .
In 1864 After g*eral 'days' Sghting,
he gave Sheridan; a check at Trevil- ,

of campaign that included, a junction

After the war he at once engaged in
cotton planting, but was not suctpessful.
He accepted from the first all the l.egit
imate consequences of defeat, an entire
submission to the law, and the civil
an&,,olitical equality of the negro; but
he ssteadily- d fended the motives

was despaired of, he was elected to
the United States genateg and he'served
until 1892. In the Senate his course
was that of a conservative Democrat.
He advocated a soung currency,,i re
sisting all inflation.' He advocated
with much zeal the nomination of
'homas A. Bayard for the Presidency.

negroes gathered and threatened the
