Col. James A. Hoyt Has Passed Away. 1 t Useful Career of iv Gallant S >1 f dior, Zealous Christian ami " Public Spirited Gentle- < man Ended. ' n Gtcenvillo News, May 2Sth. c In the dsath of Col.

His death removes from > tho Held of journalism one of the ' oldest ami most forceful writers t in tho State. j 1 Though Col. Hoyt has been in | 1 fuiling health for some time, his I < . condition was not considered alarm , 1 ing. lie kept actively engaged ; at his duties as editor of the Moun* j 1 taineer until Monday afternoon . 3 when ho found it necessary to , lest. Not until yestorduy morn- i( ing di 1 it become known ovun to J n i i . .1 4.^.1 r : l.. i r..z ) < ins ufvuiuu i?1111i y aii'i l e lentis | that his illness was da'igerouH. . G Many people did not know that ho ' was Hick, and with the announce i ' inent of hi# death many of his , ^ most devoted admirers learned ; 1 for the first tune that 1m was no i1 longer strong and well. 1 As a soldier in the Confederate |( army there was none braver or ! truer to the cause for which he j * fought than Jauios Alfred lloyt. : * From the beginning of tho eon- 1 flict he abandoned his profession * as a journalist and offered his ser ; vioe? to Smith Carolina. In 18G0 : ^ ho was a leading spirit m tho or i ' gunization of a militia cam pan y in .1 Anderson, then his homo, and ;' i- ii... i .. i ?_ i ' ?uvii iuu uiuuiiuuiu vuiii'iuv.'rni the following jour he was its or- i * derly sergeant. Ih tho reorganization in 1S02, the company became a part of the : . "Palmetto Sharpshooters," corn- j mauded by Micah Jenkins. It was j shortly after when Col. Iloyt was promoted to a lieutenancy for gallant and meritorious conduct on 1 the field, and afterwards served 1 as adjutant of tho regiment. Ilo was slightly wounded at Williams- ! burg and more seriously at Fra i zier'a Farm. In 1804, while re' \ turning to the army from a sick furlough, he was placed in com- J mand of an extemporized expodition of wounded and convalos- | cent soldiars sent from Danville c to check Wilson's Federal cavalry i at Staunton rivor bridge. The tifht was a desperate one in which j Cel. Hoyt shared the responsibil- , ity of command with Onpt. Kiddock and Col. Coleman. Though a i badly wounded and disabled, Col. , Hoyt refused to leave tho scone ^ of action and remained in comraand of his detachment until tho end. This wound forced him to use a crutch until his doath. The ton yoars following tho war still found Col. Hoyt tight- | ing for what ho conceived to ha ^ the best interests of his Slate i lln OTll? than Pflit/ir r\t *lir? A won intelligencer, and tiles of that paper are tilled with his vigorous utterances, which left their im print upon tho affairs of tho com luonwealth. He was vehement j in his criticism ot the carpotl>ag- ' gers, and as chairman of tho An- ' derson Democracy was active in 1 organizing for the battle of ls7f>, \ in which ho did strenuous work s for General Hampton, cj joying l tho confidence of tho great states t man. Col. Hoyt was n member lt of the State executivo committee ' of 187<>, and an assistant sergeant- ( at-arms of the fVallaco House, | and was with .Judge Haskell when i he discovered the no'ans of enter- ' ing tho State ?npitol. J Col. Hoyt nlwaya took a deep interest in politics. Ho served as chairman of tho State Demo- | ratio oxccotivo committee dur ii?ir ho troubled limes of 1890 and lOijuilted himself of that delicate hsU \?dlh conspicuous ability and jiirnouH to both factions, lie .vas i candidate in 1900 for governor if the ^tato on the prohibition icUet, and in Kpilo of insurmountible political obstacles caiuo near arrying tho election. His death ireventcd him from going to St. jouis as one of tho delegates to ho national Democratic convention in honor conferred upon him at ho luat meeting of the State conrenlioti. i<or many years Uol. 1 Bcr red a* president of the Baptist >tale convention, as a member of lie board of trustees of Furman Jniversity and ibe Greenville Fonale College. He was also vice iresidcnl of the American Bapist Educational Sncioty. He was i Mason of high degree, succeedng the late Gen. J. B. Kershaw h Grand Master in 1874. From his very youth until the lay of his death, Col. Hoyt was a ournalist. He served as editor >f tho Anderson Intelligencer,and arly in 1*77 became tho editor of ho Columbia Itegistor. llo conrolled and edited tho Baptist Courier for many years. In Janinry, lsh'J, Col. Hoyt assumed :outrol of the Greenville Enterprise and Mountaineer. Tho name if the paper was afterward changed o the Mountaineer. In this posiion he continued to labor for those principles which he believed to bo lght and to the best interests of 113 OllUO I1U11I Ills UClUtl. As a writer lie was fair and im>artial. Ho was absolutely fearess. Unjust men and measures lever failed to feel llio sting of lis rigorous pen. But to those deserving ir, ho vas liberal, tactful and sincere in da praise. For nearly half a cuitury his utterances on public [uestions and men have been felt n the affairs of South Carolina* The veteran journalist is dead >ut his work will live. The strong forceful personality of the nan is indelibly impressed upon dl that he has writen. To young ncn ho was a splendid example ,f a generation that is passing iway. Bold and fearless in his convictions, he never failed to ex Tress them. IIo sought to accoiu>lihh what he regardod to be right hrough force of argument and lie weight of associate facts;oot Ty trickery.and innuendo. Bel>vcd by many, he was admired md respectod by all. Col Hoy t was 67ycars of age. Ho was born at Waynosboro, Va., October 11, 1837. In January, 1867, Col. Hoyt rvas married to Miss Kobeca C. iVebb, and alio survives him with !our children, James A Hoyt Jr., iditor of tho C )lu.iibiaState;Mrs. \lostor G.
