President Roosevelt's Visit, j President Roosevelt's visit to Charleston was a notable event in more respects than cue. He was received with regal splendor and a generosity that maketh not ashamed. From I the moment that he arrived in the I city until his departure therefrom be received that attention due his oTftltftd nnfiitinn and was met with vo ciferous cbeeriDg wherever he went and the whole tenor of his entertainment was with a view of making bis visit to the historic city a memorable one. He visited many points of interest and as the President and bis party passed through Chicora Park, near the site of the naval station that is to be built, on their way to board the revenue cutter, they were welcomed with the boom of cannon. A day was pleasantly passed in a cruise around the beautiful harbor and on returning to the city they wete entertained at a magnificent banquet. Wednesday, "President's Day" at the exposition, W88 a glorious success. About sixty thousand persons were on the grounds. The military and civic parade was unusually large, grand and imposing, and included artillery, marines and sailors of the United States, the militia from various States and cadets from two military academies besides various other organizations. The reception of the President along the route from his hotel to the exposition grounds was more than enthusiastic. The President reviewed the troops from a platform in front of the auditorium and on his entrance to the grounds a salute of twenty-one guns were fired. At noon the formal ceremonies occurred. The President spoke at some length of the remarkable progress made by the South, and especially South Carolina, since the war. He emphasized the necessity of unity of action between all of the people of the United States in order that the marvelous era of prosperity which is now upon the country might be perpetuated. That portion of his address which wa3 listened to with the closest attention and which called forth the most unstinted applause, was that which treated of the absolute disappearance of all sectional lines in the nation's feelings and affection. His tribute to the gallantry and endurance of the Confederate soldier was aDDlauded to the echo, and his A 4. whole speech breathed the spirit of unselfish patriotism and lofty statesmanship. It caught popular favor and approval and the President appeared in a far diii'erent light than that we of the South had pictured him. By his visit to South Carolina he has won the confidence and respect of our people because he is better understood by them. This is evidenced by the ovations he received on his return trip North, and the barriers which have separated the North and South have in a measure been torn away and we are today nearer a reunited people over whom one flag floats! During the ceremonies he presented a beautiful and handsomely enorraved sword to Maior Micah Jen ? - * ktns in behalf of the friends of that officer. At Columbia a great crowd of the best people of the city met the President at the depot on his return trip to Washington, and he was the recipient of much attention and beauful floral cfferings. He was presented with a bouquet of flowers which were plucked around BarhjmJ Vilie, near the city, which waa the playground of his mother while attending school there. Gen. Hampton Bead. General Wade Hampton died a( his homo in Columbia last Friday morning at 8:50 o'clock in the 85'b year of his age?he having just reached bis 84th birth day on last Good Friday, so we have seen it stated.. He was born in Charleston of distinguished ancestry but has long been a resident of Columbia and vicinity. He bad been in fail ing health since last July and his death was due to a general breaking down and was, therefore, not unexpected. General Hamoton has long been 1 W the most conspicious character in the history of South Carolina. No mac ever won the love or enjoyed the confidence and respect of a greater number of people than did he. His name was a household word in every borne in the State and even the little chili dren lisped his name with reverential affection. At the beginning of hostilities between the States he volunteered as a private id the service of the Confederacy but soon afterwards raised the historic "Hampton Legion" which he commanded. Iu 18G2 he was made Brigadier General, in 18G3 a Major General and in 1864 Lieutenant Gen eral of cavalry. His brilliant record of daring achievements daring that memorable contest is too well known to be recounted here. He was elected Governor of the State in 187G after one the of most exciting and dangerous political campaigns through which this State ever passed, and it is a straDge coincident that his i3eath occurred jast 25 years to a day after his inauguration as Governor. He served the State as United States Senator from March 1879 until defeated in 1890. In 1893 he was appointed United States Railroad Commissioner by President Cleveland and served in that capacity until sometime in 1899. Since that time he has lived in retirement in Columbia. This in brief is the history of the man for whom South Carolina mourns as a mother mourneth over the death of her first born. The funeral services were held oe Sunday afternoon and were attended by a vast concourse of people. During the time his body lay in state the flags on the State house were kept at half mast, many of the business house were draped in mourniDg, the bells of the city were tolled and there I were other evidences of respect tc the memory of the dead hero, noble Christian and uncDrrupted citizen who calmly and peacefully rested at his home with the draperies of death drawn about him. Grandly he lived and nobly he died, his last words being a benediction upon the people whom he love .1 so well and served with unselfish devotion: "All my people black and while?-God bless them all." It is announced fcbat Senator Till man will speak at Manning on April 25th and a hot time is expected in that old town that day. This is claimed to be a McLaurin strong hold and Editor Appelt has given notice that should Tillman speak there he would ask the Senator cer tain questions in reference to the purchase of whiskey during the first years of the existence of the dispensary.

This has been 8 long drawn out affair in wbict neither the railroad nor the workmer have been benefited. It has been definitely determined by tbe powers tnat be tnat genera Miles must go, but the date of hie retirement has not yet been fixed. It is alleged that the chances ol Lawson D.
