The military genius of Hampton at the time of his remarkable campaigns In Virginia attraoted the admiring gaze of the world at the time. But that he Bpent a great fortune as well as exercised with still greater effect his splendid fighting oapaolty through the four yoars' great struggle, was not what most endeared him to the hearts of his oountrymen, nor yet was it his grand work of redeeming his prostrate state from radical rule and negro domination in *76, when the greatest self control and head work as well as undauuted courage were needed to bring suooess to & very dtittcult and delicate undertaking. It was his great loving heart that prompted him to give ail?his genius, his whole life, as well as his property?to his people that has given him a permanent place in the hearts of all who know him in life or are acquainted with his intimate history.

An Aged Widow Who Lived Near Qaffney Robbed AND HER THROAT CUT The Ciime, Which Was a Most Shockioftv Brutal Oae, Was Committed About Mid-day. Tom Harris, a Wonderiof Character Arrested On Suspicion. A dispatch from Gaffnoy to The News and Courier Bays that section was agatn tbe soene of a most shocking crime. On Tuesday of last week between 12 and 1 o'olook, at her horro on the crest of a hill, two and a half miles from Gaffnoy, and overlooking the town, Mrs. Hortenso Morgan, an aged widow, living all alone, was mur dered and robbed. Her throat was cut from ear to ear and several hun dred dollars Btolen from her person. As the ctt'Z >us weru returning from their dinner the news spread thai Mrs. Morgan bad been murdered and tbe sheriff and the ohlef of police with the blood hounds went to the scone, but they had not been gone long before one Tom Harris was pointed out at tbe depot as a man seen at Mrs. Mor gan's just before tbe crime was oom mined, several good and substantial men identified him as having been ween on the poroh of tho house as they pa sed coming to town. Harris was arrested by Officer Cloyla and Deputy Marshal Philips. Officer Hull man came up and they took Har rls to the city prison where he was searched. On his person was found a largo knife, very sharp and bloody, and In two rolls was found $72(3 10. One roll of bills was wrapped in a white rag very muoh as a woman would wrap It. The other roll had been wrapped In the same way, but the wrappings were gone. The rag whloh seemed to have boen wrapped around this last roll was found between the house and Gaffney. Harris, when asked how muoh money he had, said that he had about $600, $126 less than he really had. In addition to the money and knife there were found on his person stains of blood, about his hands, and on his breast there v/as a bruise. Your oorresponder. t vlshed tho scene of tho crime and found Mr?. Morgan on her bed In a pool of h6r own blood. Ilor throat was out from av.r to ear and her nlothlnir had been turned up ml two clotb bags contain ing the money, which was attached to her waist, had been out off and thrown to the floor. The room had been ransacked, the clothing thrown about tho fl ior. From Inquiry of the neighbors the following facts we.ro a3 certalned: Mrs. Morgan lived alone In her house on the top of the hill, bub spent her nights with a tenant on her place, 1 bec&uso she was afraid of being murdered. Between 11 and 12 o'clock Mrs. Webb eaw ber about the pl&C8, nanglng out clothes and feeding the pigs. At 1 o'clock Mrs. Webb had an engagement to go with her to see ? neighbor. After waiting some time over tho appointed hour she went tc 1 the house to see what had become oi ? her. She looked in the window and 1 saw her on tho bed with her throal ' out. She gave the alarm and soon e j orowd had gathered. 1 Harris was seen going to Mrs. Mor3 gen's near to 12 o'olook. lie aske(" 1 some people along the road how far 11 was to her house. He was seen In thi 1 porch talking to her while she wai sewing. When he came to town afte: the murder the first thing ho did wa to buy a suit of clothes and an over OOat. Later Tuesday afternoon his broth Q or-inlaw, Jim Childress, who work at one of the mills here, but who hai been away for some time, returaim >? to Gaffoey Tuesday morning witl 2 Harris, was arrested as knowim j something of the orime. Children i, worked with Mrs. Morgan this fall o pioklng ootton, and knew of the repor >. that she carried money on her person h When arrested he was on his way t a Blaoksburg, where he was to join Mrs d Harris, who was <valting there for he husband to return. It is thought tha d Childress knows a great deal about th it affair, as Harris was a stranger in th ,g community. a Harris is a man of medium size, o n a low order of intelligence, with sand Is whiskers over his face. As a boy h g was considered wild. Rumor has 1 ,d that he was at Forest City, N. 0 )r about throe weeks ago working in mill, but be says that he came hei from Grove's, N. C. Three years ag he lived at lliokory Grovj, whero b \\ was known as a preacher, having bee L ordained by the Baptist Ohurol os Another rumor has it that he was A- Holiness preacher. Anyway, he aske 16 the officers to look in his suit case an n- get him hii Bible. When asked whei h- he got so much money he said that 1 fe labored and made it, but afterwar< said that he made it by labor ar II Woman Murdered. 3W With head horribly battered by ^ olub and with ber throat blaok ai blue, Mrs. Sarah Kilnger, aged years, the widow of a Oiyii war veto an, was found In her home at Shai okin, Pa., on Thursday. The m gambling. 1% la thought by many that If Harris killed Mrs. Morgan ba was hired So murder bar? There are Ihoae -?bo believe that She killing of Mrs. Mor gan was She execution of a deep laid plot to put the aged lady out of the way, and that Harris was the tool seourod So do the bloody work. The offlolals of Gaffney are now at work securing evidence In the case against Harris, and It is believed that She Investigation being made may lead t^ the arrest of other parties. In G*ff ney there Is well founded belief that Harris was hired to kill Mrs. Morgan for the purpose of getting her out of the way. Mrs. Morgan was well-todo, having about six bales of oottcn, whloh she had been holding for some time, several of the bales having been held over frcm last year. Her land 1* worth about 10,000. Harris has been removed to Spar, tanburg. It was feared that If he was kept in Gaffney the Jail would be stormed by an angry ooob and the prisoner lynched. The exoltement was great. It Is believed that Harris was hired to kill Mrs. Morgan. She was elgbfcv y*ars of age. She had more than $700 in her house, six bales of ootton and orned land worth about $10,030. At the trial of Harris the Stat' will show that the old woman was murdered for her property. A man by tho uame of Childress, a half brother of Harris, has been arretted as a material wit nesse8. It la expected that other arrests will be rasdin shortly. JblRHJ THEM ALL. REFUSES TO SUSPEND OUDHIl DISCHARGING THE NEGROES Roosevelt Cables Taft That Facts i , Are Necessary to Secure Rehearing.
