Kidney trouble preys upon the mind. di»* x>urages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon •4 disappear when the kid neys are out of order ZjlSIf*—or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent ^ that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kid* -* neys. If the child urin- " ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able ta control the passage, it is yet af.listed with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the firs' step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis- •rable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy.

Columbia, Nov. 20.—The Wade Hampton slatue was unveiled in the presence of a vast throng. Thous ands of people lined the sidewalks alone the route of parade and after wards moved to the state house grounds, where the formal exercises vero held. These were opened with prayer by Bishop Capers and Govern- Heyward, on behalf of the State, accepted the statue and introduced General M. C. Butler, orator of the day. . ? iiaii 5,000 People Present. Columbia, Nov. 20.—The impress ive ceremony of the unveiling of a handsome $30,000 bronze equestrian stiltue of General Wade Hampton, one of the world’s greatest cavalry men, and South Carolina’s greatest statesman and most lovable son, brought 5,000 people to the city to day, the special and regular trains front every portion of the State be ing crowded. The Procession Cheered. Main stmt, which is beautifully decorated in Confederate colors, was thronged as on a big day of the fair week, and the long procession rep- lesenting the Confederate organiza tion of the State, the schools and col leges an* the national guard organ izatious, the executive judicial and legislative brandies of the State gov ernment, was cheered to 'lie echo as it moved down Main street from the postoliice, thence around the capitol building, opposite the stand erected for special guests by the side of the statue which faces the capitol build ir-' from the east. In the crowd present to witness the unveiling of the monument to Wade Hani'dou today and to give a last greeting to South Carolina’s dead cliieftan, there are old and voting, veterans who had followed him to battle, men who were with him in 1876, nun and women then unborn, and strangers from afar caught up by the spirit of the occasion. Significant is the fact that just 30 years ago all eyes were turned to Hampton. At every Railway station anxious crowds were assembled to catch any news that might be atloat. Hourly messages came and went from one end of the State to tiiu oilier. Here in Columbia angry crowds surged to and fro. No man knew what an hour might bring forth. Tlie one supreme ligur -. calm and unruffled, that kept his bead thiough all the storm, was Made Hampton. On his broad shoulders rested tin* fate of the people. Tin* p -ople trusted not in vain. He rose to the occasion, saw that con- llict with the federal authorities must bo avoided at all hazards, met the excited crowd of his t’eliow coun trymen at democratic headquarters and told them to go home—that was all. “I nave been elected governor of South Carolina and by the eternal (Tod I shall be governor, or else there shall be none. Disperse quietly and go to your homes.” These were his words, and they settled the g-avest crisis in South Carolina’s history. No man saw Hu* way out bn'. Wade Hampton, the chevalier without re proach. Now. 30 years after, Wade Hamp ton sleeps beneath a great live oak in Trinity churchyard, and what remains of him is ids memory and the memorials that a people's love have erected to him. The Monument. The handsome equestrian monu ment shows the great cliieftan mounted on a fiery steed, in the act of greeting ills troops. His hat is in bis right hand, the left grasping the reins short and the charger’s arching neck showing how unwilling Lu* ste< ' is to stop. Tlie wind of his forward move ment is fanning his hair and the triage of his coat is blown back. The expression is one of love mingled viL' fatherly pride in ids men. The artist, F. W. Ruckstuhl, has broken up ids studio in New York city and the work was, therefore, done in Paris. At Paris it was * asy to get t ie handsome marble from Alsac. where the Vosges mountains spur off from the Alps and cut through the eastern part of France. Many of the world’s famous works of art rest, on liases of tills marble. Tlie plinth of the pedestal is made of Alsatian marb'e. but the basis be neath were quarried from our Winns- boro granite, in whose historic hills Hampton had hunted in ids youth, when Fairfield was as full of wild game as Montana is now. The ..tal.ie of Hampton and of his horse are east in hollow bronze and strikingly handsom -. The face of the hero is turncil to the west, whether by design or accident, in any case, there is appositeness in the selection, since Hampton spent much of his time in the West, and it was from Mis is.-im i that he came back to redeem Soi'tli Carolina. He was facing Hie West in 1865, wnen he retr aetd from Columbia. West ward was the com so of ihe old | pioneers, and Hamilton harked back to the old days of the republic. . Butler's Oration. General M. C. Butler, who deliv ered tug oration today, has been all Ids life associated with Hampton. He was with Hampton during tie war, in the same branch of the ser vice. After the war lie was the lirst denioe: at elect' d to the United States senate, nreceding Hampton there by three years. General Butler is a nephew of Commodore Perry and is on every siiie connected with the best of Amer ican life. His ancestors came into the woods of upper South Carolina long before the Revolution and dur ing that conflict servid with great distinction. Pick d out by the French ambassador at i lie Yorktown celebration as tin* most distinguished | looking individual ihere, he is the j prince imperial of Ids g. neration. Today in Ids ag" he is perhaps the most eloquent living South Caro linian. It is, therefore, peer, iarly appropri ate that M. (’. Bmler s.aiuld deliver the oration and fortunate that, he is spared to do ii Ju-. t a few years more and a 1 the men who were as social ed witli Hampton will have crossed over to In* with him always in the lields of asphodel.

Those g’oi ions men who had taken issue with ihe .Mother Coun try had bequeathed ihe “divine right t rule" lo every citizen of this country.

It has been fhe speaker's ourpose to review Gen. Hampton’s mili tary record, and to that end he had •"ritten to the war department, re questing to be furnished with such information as the government pos soss d on the military services of General Hampton. He hid found on investigation and reflection that it would require a vo ume to do justice to such a oa reer as Hampton’s. The battles men tioned on the base of the monument were but a few of the fights he was engag d in. Want of space forbade m.t'on of more, but us lie thought of old days, what an array of battles rose up before him. He had often been asked if Hamp ton were a tactician, and in the nar row sense of that word, he would answer, “No.” He seriously doubt ed if Hampton ever read a book on tuc'ics in ids life. He was first a citiz n not a soldier. But in tlie broader sense. General Hampton was a grand tactician. He knew how to sicze the vantage points in a field o' - battle far better than most com- ruan'iers, and the en my was always guessing where lie would strike next. He kept them mystified. He said Hampt >n stalked the en emy lik; he was hunting big game As an instance in point, he cited Thevlllian’s station, where Hampton had defeated the enemy with odds of thr e to one against 1dm and had thereby checked one of Grant’s grand movements. It was due General Hampton, af ter General J. E. \V. Stuart’s death in April, 1864, that, he receive the appointment of lieutenant general, but did not receive it until the fol lowing year. General Butler here traced in de tail some of the stirring incidents of ihe war. citing incidents of conspic uous gallantry, and mentioned Maj. Thro. G.
