Thompson, who a* spokesman for the State sword fund committee delivered the sword Into the hands of President Roosevelt, who was to present It to Maj. Jenkins. Gov. Thompson was associated with Presi dent Roosevelt on the United States civil service commission for years and It was very appropriate for him to place the sword in the hands' of his former co-worker. Gov. Thompson made an eloquent and very appro priate speech which was received with wild enthusiasm. At the conclusion of his speech ex-Gov. Thompson said: I'ermlt me. Mr. President, to hand you this sabre with the request that you present it to Major Jenkins. President Roosevelt, who remained standing during the speech, advanced lesion at 9.30 a. m., on time.

The banquet tendered President Roosevelt Tuesday night of last week at ti»e Charleston Hotel in the city of Charleston was a fitting close to a day full of incidents and served to gather bigetlier men prominent In llte affairs of tlie Stale, having solely in mind a greeting to the president which would because the events have so shaped themselves that It Is our duty as a great and mighty nation to help Cuba and I hope to see us do our duty.

WHKN TIIK BHD CAME. On Thursday evening Gen. Hamp ton had a long farewell talk with one of his sisters, in which lie eiprcmed beautiful scutimcnta. To Bishop Ca pers and to one of hla devoted friends and comrades lie expremed ddnuelf In beautiful terms, forgiving all enemies and referring to the great beyond. When the end finally came there were with the general, who was un conscious, his sisters, Misses Kate and Caroline Hampton, his devoted daugh ter, Idas Mary McDuffie Hampton, bin sons Messrs. Geo. McDuffie and Al fred Hampton, his nephew, Mr. Frank Hampton, his niece, Mrs. John C.< Haskell, and Dr. B. W., Taylor who waa surgeon general on his staff in the Confederate army. He passed away peacefully and seemed simply to drop off to sleep. Such was the end of a grand man’s career, the end of a man great in life and still great in death. His last words except some sacred to his family, were: “All my people, black and white—Gbd bless them all.’’ Dr. Taylor said he died of valvular heart disease, superinduced by old age, the general having reached his 84th birthday just two weeks ago. » CITY BELL TOLLED. As soon as it was known that Gen eral Hampton was dead the city bell was tolled for an hour and immediate ly flags were placed at half maftt on both towers of the municipal building. Soon the State (lag was at half mast on the dome of the. capitol, and in a short time a force of men was busy in swinging out black bunting across the front of the portico, and twining the same material about the columns. Knots of crepe were placed on the knobs uf all the doors to the building. WAen the nrws had reacted the secretary <»f the treasury at Washing ton that official ordered the (lag on the at half honor <ff the dead e* and this «m of the respective township and ward cluba to he field on the fourth Satur day in April.
