("Ro that i? what South (Carolina thinks of General Hampton ! Tell the People of your state that it is a burning shame to think no moreo f him than tliatj" I was humiliated, and when 1 eame home wrot? "The State" relating this Inci dent, ami asking that something be done about it. I?ater the United Daughters of the Confederacy took the matter up aud appointed a committee to raise the amount necessary for a suitable por trait to be placed in this gallery. At the request of the chairman of this committee, I am making this appeal to the school hoys ?yid girls of our state. As you will doubtless know. General Hampton was born in Charleston on March 28, 181S. ' His father was an officer in the Revolutionary War; while he became one of the for?vmost Confederate Generals in the War bewoou the States. He spent his boyhood days at Mill wood. After graduating at the S. C. College he continued to live there, looking after immense farming interests, in South Carolina and fylisslsslppl. In j 18(11, as a private, he raised six com panies of infantry, was put in command and arrived, at Mannassas in time to take an Important part in the battle, July 1st. He was wounded seven times during the war, five of which were re ceived at Gettysburg. In 1864 lie was made Commander-in-Chief of the cav alry,' thus becoming next rank to Gen eral Lee. ' At the close of the war he returned to South Carolina to find ids homo in ruins and his state helpless. In 187(> he was elected Governor, and there followed for some time a dual govern ment, with Hampton winning ofit in the end, Ilia firmness of character was shown when he said "The people have elected me governor, and by the ICtet lial God. 1 will he Governor " General Hampton not only served well-as soldier and Governor, but as Senator and citizen. lie died April 31. 1902. We cannot permit ourselves to forget a man who spent himself in the service of his state. The committee appointed by the T\ IX C.'.aslvs each school bov and girl in South Carolina to give just one n.iekle to help honor the* .memory of one who found no sacrifice too great when his state called for it l am so sure of the patriotism of the South Carolina boys and gWss- that I close this appeal with thinks for your prompt and generous response. R. K. KlRBY. Cheraw. S. C. Mr. Berry, who is now In college, has explained wrll"";the occasion of our "Nlekle Drive.'" The Portrait committee asks that his appeal he read in Chapel on the second Friday morning in October ? thus mak ing concerted action on the part of the schools of the state. We suggest that a bright hoy and girl be appointed to canvass each grade ? money to he turn ed over to some teacher who will for ward It. South Carolina never fails in patriot ism, and we ar?* confident all her teachers will co-operate in this effort to honor the memory of one of the heroes of our lost Cause. .
