and had reached the age, if we do
not err, of some thirty years. Beside?
her bereaved husband, she leaves five ;
or six little children, to whom our sympathies
go out nnfeigaedly. The life
of this pnrc and beloved young woman
was a noble, a useful and a dutiful
j one. She walked with God in simple
trust, ministering to husband, children
and friends in loviug sympathy. And
now Ged's touch has emancipated her
from the letters of sense and space,
and enlarged her ioul to the freedom
andfulness of an untrammeled spirit
and an undying life.

CAPTAIX K. S. DESPORTES DEAD.
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."
