Hampton's political and military career, particularly his great achieve ments in the battle of First Manassas, in which the Confederates were vic tors and his forceful leadership dur .ng the reconstruction period. Our next speaker, Mr. L. H. Roper, spoke mainly of his personal experi ences as a friend of Gen. Hampton. He, having fought under his leadership, could well tell of him as a man who possessed great power and magnetism as a leader of men in military affairs. I e also spoke of Glen. llampton as a man of great kindness and gentleness, but also a man of firm determination in his duty to his state and felow citi zens.
