A '76 Campaign Meeting.

Th most important political
meeting held in Sumter during the
last third of the Nineteenth century
was 1ho gr at Hampton demonHtiatiou
held October 7, 187G.
it was eat'.mated by those who accompanied
Gen. Hampton in his
triumphant march through Carolina
tii linve been the largest and
most enthusiastic meeting held up
to that time, with perhaps a single
exception, that of Abbeville, in
point uf numbers. Mr. Carl McKinley,
a gentleman of scholarly
attainments who is the author of
"An Appeal to Pharnoh," was the
eorrehpoisilent who reported the
meeting to the News and Courior.
There was one feature of the
meeting of so striking a character
and which appealed ho strongly to
the audience that we allude to it
here and will let Mr. MeKinley
tell it in his own language:
"Gen. Hampton and the other
spenkeis dismounted from their
enrriagesand approached thestand.
As he entered the space between
the ladies' stands, these rose up
and showered down Howvra upon
him and before lijin until the
ground beneath his feet was carpeted
with them. A company of
little girls, representing all the
States, all olnd in white, met him
half way, and strewed their tloral
offerings in his way.
"lint the crowning ceremony
was reserved for the last. A fuir
YOtinur trill, clad in monminc niwl
bound with heavy chnins, to represent
South Carolina stood on
the verge of the stage, just where
the speakers afterward delivered
their addresses. As Gen. Hampton
approached, and when every
oye was fixed upon the two, and
while he was yet but a few paces
from her, at a word, as if by a magical
touch, the habiliments of
inoqrning and tho heavy chains
fell from her at once, nnd she etood
forth before him nnd the throng ,
clad in garments of snowy whiteness?a
beautiful omblem of South
Carolina redeemed.
"Tho drama was well planned,
well oxecutod, nnd its import roeognijied
nnd acknowledged by
such a burst of enthusiasm and
shouting, and waving of hats and
hankorehiefB, and roars of cannon
us made the seene truly a most impressive
ono. As the elank of the
falling chains was licmu, Gen.
Hampton raised his eyes, nnd seeing
the beautiful child bofore him,
nnd understanding the new tribute
paid him in her person, his fnco
flushed, and lie bowed deeply and

reverently to her ami to the inulti
tude. He spoke a few kind words
to her in an undertone, she took
her place in the company of her
sisters, and he ascended the steps
"f the platform, and with his party
took the seats placed for theui."
"The Dead Never Die."
For Tho Times.
It has beon said that "the dead
never die; that we can not act 01 ,
think hut that the soul of some .
ono who has gone before points
the way."
itecently I paid a visit to the !
homo of a friend, and as chance 1
would have it my visit was made
on the lirst anniversary of the '
tragic death of the youngest of
four sons. Tho three sons that i
were left, all under 15 years of age, J1
were busy playing the games that
boys thoir age enj >y most. As my
friend greeted me I noticed that
his face wore a worried look, and
tlint he seemed to take no not ee i
of the loud noise his boys were (
making. After conversing with
him a short while, 1 ventured to 1
ask if lie was not undergoing an
unusual mental strain. "Yes," J
Haul lie, "my good wife is in an- !
other room crying and moaning !
for the little boy that's dead and
gone. How plainly and forcibly i
memory brings to mind pictures
and wordh of the baby passed before,
and thoughts of whom till
our hearts. One year ago he was
vitli us?the joy and pride and
light of our home. This day ho is
gone?gone to that land where j i
sorrow and grief are unknown. A ! :
short while before you came the j
little one's mother trudged to the
grave and strewed it. with flowers,
for beneath that sod was sleeping (
hor darling. She is yet heartbroken,
and 1 cannot forget my <
namesake."
I tried to comfort my friend by
telling him that tho little fellowwas
better off; that he would miss
the hardships and trials in store
for his other sons. He seemed to
cheer up, and said ho supposed
that was so.
