Captain Richard S. DesPortes died at his home in Columbia on Sunday. It was not known here that he was in bad health. Professor R. Means Davis furnishes the Columbia State with the following sketch: "The grandfather of Capt. DesPortes was a Frenchman of the First Empire. He followed the victorious eagles of Napoleon, and a3 a reward of valor was enrolled in the ranks Of the immortal Old Guard. The charg of that bedy undar Ney was a las effort to turn the tide of battle at Waterloo, and the frightful tragedy of the sunken road into which thousands - A 11 - ' i. l TW Awn T-? 11 A/1 oi me orayest ui iuu uuvc nucuunw to be trampled under foot and destroyed by the mad rush of the snrvivors needed not the word painting of so great a master as Victor Hugo to impress it upon the minds of men as one of the most dramatic of all the incidents of human conflict. Into that excavation this French officer rode among the first, and there his bones lie entombed to-day. "He left a wife and <.*vo children. After the downfall of Napoleon she emigrated to America. Her daughter died, but her son survived. For years he lived in Charleston and then removed to Winnsbojo. where he became joint owner of The Fairfield Herald. He was most highly esteemed for his integrity. Richard Smallwood DesPortes attended Mount Zion College and then euter?d into the drug store of Ketehiu & Mcaiaster. jjesirous ui becoming a physician be read medicine privately, sitting up late at night alter performing all bis duties in tbe store. A year or two before the war, the family of Mr. DesPortes was attacked with typhoid fever, and the father, mother and a son died, ?while others were desperately ill. Japt.DesPertes, although quite a youth,^manifested at that time all the devotior, energy and forcefulness that characterized him afterward. H? cared for an infant brother as tenderly as a woman, and manfully bore the responsibilities of the support of several younger brothers. All this time he was reading medicine and bad completed a large portion of the course when the war began. He was among one of the first , volunteers. Later on be was an aide of Gen. Freuch at Wilmington, and then joined the western army. His ! account of the hundred days' battles in which the army were engaged, which he embodied in a paper read before the survivors of Camp Hampton, is one of the most graphic contributions to oar war literature. Sick unto death he was taken to the hospitable I >.ue ot Dr Lnwther of Alabama and * as nursed to heahh. Here he met ti.e lady, Miss Susan Lowthe-, who subsequently became his wi!rt. This young lieutenant attracted attention and admiral inn for. bis great personal beauty, quiet dignity and his cool courage uncW fire. i After the surrender he returned to WiiK.j-boro to find that town in ashes. The material of the Fairfield Herald had been consumed in the conflagration, and Richard DesPortes found himself penniless, save for his army horse which he had ridden home, with two young brothers of tender age dependent on him for support. By a lucky chance, the marauders of Sherman, in passing through Fairfield, setting the torch to the thoucand<? of bales of cotton stored under ginhouses and in warehouses, had failed to discover four bales lying in an old cabin on a remote portion of the plan tation of (Jol. -John ju. ciacK, near Ridgercay. Those bales were sold tor $500. Capt. DesPorfes added $150, the proceeds of the sale of his horse, and the firm of John L. Black & Co. was established at Ridgeway, in the only store left standing by Sherman. The railroad had been destroyed from Blacketock to KingvilJe, and all transportation was done by wagon. Capt. JDesPortes went to Charleston andpuri chased bis supplies. In a few months, j he bought out tbe share of Col. Black, j and conducted business in his owij j name. No one who was not acquainted | with him at that time can appreciate the work that he did. As a result he built up a prosperous business. In 1SSC Capt. DePortes and his partner, Mr. R. H. Edmunds, removed to Colu bia and establish a dry goods establishment, to which at various times other departments were added, until at present 'The Hub' is one ot the most noted establishments in the State."
