• VOL XXIV- BARNWELL. SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, MAY 16, 190L •NO'’:'-;" HAMPTON HIGHLY HONORED. Veterans March in Body to Great Chieftain’s Home. Wade Hamp'oa who has been de scribed by Gen. Gordon as the greatest man the State of South Carolina, ever produced, was-honored yesterday as but few men are ever honored on this earth. It is rare that it falls to the lot of man to have such tribute paid to him by hundreds of men,each of whom is himself a hero. Gen. Hampton was much affected 'by the remarkable demonstration of affection and regard made by the grizzled survivors of many a blOody battlefield and dashing charge; so much so that towards the end of the address to his men his voice was fal. tenng, and he spoke with difficulty. His heait was full to overtlowiug. it was a sight that those who witnessed can never forget. It carried to all the lesson that honor, chivalry aud integ rity have a reward that no other quah- ficaiioos can procure. It was about 5.30 o’clock when the Confederate veterans in the city fell into line at the intersection of Gervais and Main streets for the purpose of marching to Geo. Hampton's home and pa)iog tribute to him. The pro cession was beaded by Gen. Walker and staff and Adjl Flennisen. of Camp Hampton, bearing ibe division colors, and Col. J. Fuller Lyon, commanding the Abbeville rrgimeut, bearing the tattered colors of tbejeotb Mouth Car* <4ioa recMneoi. in front were Heesr*. Asher Browne aodC I>.

(Applause.) There are men who we^e with yen when you took command of the Confederate cav alry in 18<i4, and where at Hawes’ shop you planted its dismounted lines before the advancing corps of Hardy and Sherman and wrenched Richmond from their grasp with an insignificant little body of dismounted cavalry. The excuse of these men then was that you had been reenforced. That was always their excuse; but, sir, there was nothing in it. “And so, sir, when Shertnau met you at Trevalian Station, where the Enfield rifle was in the grasp ot the cavalry men instead of the useless s^bre, Sher man as he rode away from the field wrote to bis chief that he was met by Uhmpton’s cavalry, but that it was re enforced by Early’s division of in fantry, and that their combined forces were too great for him. But, sir, you k ow that you, with a force less than half as great as bis own, bad com* pc lied him to retire from the field in utter dUordir. “Aud now, comrades, I present to you a chieftain worthy not only of your admiration, for Gen.

How as many as eight were hung at one time and many more at various times, and how old Judge Bewail afterwards repented and the twelve jurymen repented and publish ed their repentance and aaked God to forgive their great sin, etc. One wo man, Mary Watkins, who was a hired servant, a white woman, was tried, but the evidence was not sufficient to convict, and so they did not hang her, but sent her off to Virginia to be sold as a slave.

The confeesion of faith was composed by John Calvin, and is that adopted by the Reformed Chorch in France in 1659. A liturgal form has al ways been used and this >s believed to have bet n that of the church of Geneva. After the fl^e of 1740, which destroyed, all the records of the church, die Liturgy of Neufchatel and Vjllangin v was adopted and is still in use. From the year 1816 to 1819 the French language was partially disused—preaching alter nately between this and the English. This gave much dissatisfaction and a return to the exclusive use of French was made. But that tongue had large ly ceased to be spoken or understood, aud in 1828 it was decided to employ only the English tongue in the service. The French liturgy was referred to an eminent committee for translation, and it has ever since been used. Borne changes were made in the order and arrangement of the Liturgy of Neuf chatel and Villangiu, and some addi tions, copied from the book of the French church lit' London and kindred sources. Borne occasional and con cluding prayers were supplied, and the sourceafroao which ike Book of Com moo Prayer was furnished were laid under tribute.

It contains a sermon recently delivered by the editor to a large congregation of his followers and they said amen and amen at every malediction that he uttered against our people. I don’t fret myself about what a Not them- preacher says uor a Northern editor writes, but I don’t like Lbqt amen aud amen from the saints, and it grieves me to realize that the .more maliguant an editor is against us the more subscribers his paper gets. Now this Chicago editor says iu his sermon: “ If. 1 were president when the next lynching takes place in the South I would put a cordon around Ihatdistrict and hang a hundred of them and l would shoot a hundred. Worthy of cannibals are the horrible things carried on in the South. As sure as you live these eight million negroes will-one day buret loose.
