C, General Butler said in part: I lie story of Wade Hampton's lite brt4 t<? the rounder* of tha ' State. Those gkwious men who had taken issues with the mother coun try hud bepucatlied the 'divine right U> rule' to every citizen of this coun try. Among (huso men, battling for their country's rights was found a Hampton. General Wade Hampton, in whose honor this ptatue is erected, was one of those who opposed separ ate secession of a Stiite, hut uJwn th_' long debate was adjoined to the bat tlefield he saw his duty to his State and did it. He had no doubt in his mind as to where his first allegiance .was duo. "It has been the speaker's purpose to review General Hampton's milita ry record, and to thut end he ha* written to the War Department, re questing to be furnished with such in lormation as the government possess ed on the military services of Gener-C al. Hampton. He had found on investigation and reflection that it would require a vol ume to do justice to such a career as Hampton's. The battles mentioned the baso of the monument were but a few of the lights he was en gaged in. Want of space forbade mention of more, but as he thought of old days, what an array of bat tles rose up before him. lie had often bgj'n asked if Ham ton were a laetieTnti, and in klic nar row serine of that word, he would answer, "No." lie seriously doubted if Hampton ever read a book on tac tics in his life. He was lirst a cit izen, not,a soldier. Hut in the broad er sense, General Hampton was a grand tactician.. He knew how to seize the advantage points in a fi;dd I'Of battle far better than most com manders, and the enemy was always .guessing where he would strike next. He kept them mystelied. He said Hampton stalked the ene my like .he was hunting big game. A*. an instance in jwint, he cited Trevil lian's station, where Hampton had de feated the enemy with odds of 4hree to one against him, and had thereby cheeked one of Grant's grand move ments.,. "It was due to General Hampton, after General ?J. E. H. Stuart's death in April, 18(54, that ho received'the appointment of Lieutenant General, but for some reason the appointment was tempororily withheld and he d|d not receive it until the following year." General Butler here- traced in de tail some of the stirring incidents of the war, citing instances of conspic uous gallantry, and mentioned Maj. Tlteo. G. Baker, as having been left for dend, when lie was here on the stand, forty-odd years afterwards. In regard to the burning of Co lumbia, he gave a graphic account, never before-made. He said that he (Butler) was ordei'ed to remain in charge of the evacuation and see that no net of offense was committee. Ho remained in the city three hours af ter General Hampton had quitted it and personally saw that no fire had been started and when he left, just ahead of Sherman's advance guard there was no fire in the city. It was perfectly clear that the fire begun after all Confederate .troops had left the city for many hours. General Butler gave a graphic ac count ?also of the nominatibu ? of HamptW*in 1870 and cited thespeach he mad^. He also called attention to Hampton's message and letters as containing wi?e deliverances, in clas sic phrase. ? He predicted that Hampton would go down the centuries with increasing fame and thai 110 brighter example could be chosen by the youth of the j State. His .peroration was pathetic and impressive. At the conclusion of the nddrcss the students of Winthrop, the Colum bia^ Female College and tin? College for Women and the school children from this and other cities sang tlie ["Bonnie Blue Flag," and other pa I'triotic airs while the Dnuglilers of j the Confederacy banked the monu ment with garlands and wrpaths. Hampton in History. Significant is the fact that just 30 | years ago all eyes were turned to i Hampton. At every railway station I anxious crowds were assembled to catch any news that might be afloat. Hourly messages came and went from one end of the State to the other. I Here in Columbia angry crowds sing ed to and fro. No man knew what an hour might bring forth. The one supreme figure, calm and unruffled, that kept his head through all the storm, was Wade Hampton. On hi* broad shoulders rested the fate of a l>eople. The people trusted not in vain. He rose to the occasion saw that con flict with the Federal authorities must bo avoided at all hazards, met the ex cited crowd of his fellow-countrymen at Democratic headquarters and tuid -tiwrtr"rnr-^?-Tion>e?that was all. ~ "1 her? elected Governor of South Carolina and by the eternal God * shall be (Governor, or else there shall be none. Disperse quietly and go to your home." Those were his words I Now thirty yeatx after, Wade Hampton sleeps beneath a great live oak W Trinity churchyard, and what ttiiaitfcof bias is bis memory and the ?memorials tW * ^cp!e? wve have inetui to him. ^ sii? mm MhiitHs -? - ?-? # Occurrcnces of Interest From All Over Soulh Carolina MANY ITEMS OP STATE NEWS \ Batch of Live Paragraphs Cover ing a Wide Ranee?What is Going On iu Our Slat*.
