WADE HIMPTON. Full of years and of honors, in the quietness of his own home and sur rounded by the mewbers of his family, Wade Hampton was gathered to his fathers. He had passed his four score years. And yet there was genuine sor row throughout South Carolina when the news of his death was received. Few men have been honored as he was living and few have had higher tribute paid them when dead. He bore his honors with becoming modesty and when for a time it seemed that his peo ple had forgotten his services to them when they needed wise counsel and a leader with sober judgment he never complained, but manifested that nobili ty of character which is characteristic of the truly great man., As a cavalry leader in the trying times of war he had few equals and no superiors. He loved his State and when the call to arms was made he viewed it as the call of duty and went to the front and the Hampton Legion goes down in history with a'record untarnished. He was in the forefront of the battle until arms were stacked at Appomattox and the flag of the Confederacy was furled forever. He retired to private life and-gave his energies to repairing as best he could his lo*t fortunes. It was a touching scene to see the survivors of the Hampton Legion with their tattered banner following the bier of the beloved leader to his lasi resting place. But as great as were the ser vices oi Hampton in the trying times of '61-'65. his greatest ser vice to his State and hit people was in the still more trying times of 1876. The State was prostrate and in the hands of carpetbaggers and scalawags and needed a wise leader. All eyes turned to Hampton and he re sponded to the call and the State waq redeemed, and once more the govern ment was placed in the hands of the white people. No man was more loved or more honored at that time thau Wade Hampton, and his good judgmen1 and wise counsel had much to do witb the redemption of the State. Twice he was elected governor and twice United States Senator. In these positions he was always true /to his trust and was unselfish in his de * wotiop to his State and his people. He was a patriot and loved his people. I10 this age of commercialism and selfish and designing politicians it is pleasant to contemplate and study such a life as Wade Hampton's. It abould prove a .benediction to the young men of this day. South Carolina is proud of hiE life and its in.fluence cannot but prove a blessing to the people of the State for generations to come. The sponta neous outpouring of sorrow at his deaitk as manifested in the tributes which came from the mountains to the sea. but evidences the esteem in which he was held by the people whom he had -served so well and whom he loved with the devotion of a true patriot. Old comrades in arms and the sons of old comrades from all parts of the State attended the funeral to pay a last tribute to his memory. It was a grand sight to see the old veterans with bowed heads and bleeding hearts fol low the remains of their old leader to his last resting place. We suppose there never had been as large a funeral irn this State, and it was not a State funer * al for It had been his request that there 'be no demonstration at his funeral. And still there must have been twenty five or thirty thousand people present. All of Columbia was present, and trair loads came from all parts of the State, and some from other states. He was a grand old man and too much honor could not be paid him, not for the good it may do him, for post mortem flowers cannot help the dead, but the good it may do the living. He died as he had lived with a bene diction on his lips for his people whose welfare was ever his greatest solici tude. His last words were: "All my peo pie, black and white-God bless them all." HAMPTON'S FUNEB4L. On Sunday afternoon, in Trinity church yard, in Columbia, beneath the spreading boughs of a massave white oak, the re mains of Wade Hampton were laid to rest. Prom the mountains to the seaboard the people of the State, which he loved and served to well, had gathered to see his sacred dust consigned to his parent earth At ten o'clock in the morning the doors of his residence were opened to the public, and as the people silently one by one took~ * a last look, it was as if South Carolina herself were bending low to shed a last team upon the bier of one of her greatest and her truest sons, one who served her truly in her darkest days when it seemed that all but hope was lost, who loved her the more as her sorrow became deeper, whose deeds in her behalf on tbe field of battle have been made famous in song and story, but one who was greater as statesman than s Soldier. Probably never in this country has there been a more imposing funeral pro cession than the one which escorted the remains of Hampton from his home on Senate street to Trinity church. Several special trains had been run into Columbia in the morning and there were at least thirty thousand people in and aorund the church. The procession was headed by the sur viving members of the famous Hamptoni Legion who were present, and was com posed of veterans, daughters and wives of the Confederacy, sons of veterans, and people gererally from all portions of Santh Carolina. Immediately follow ing the veterans, many of whom were clad in Confederate gray, came the hearse bearing their 'eader of former days, and after the hearse and family carriages marched the women, the wives and daughters of the South. Following was a long line of sons of veterans The Govenor and staff in full uniform walk ed at the head of the militia A dele gation fro. the Citadel, two hundred students of South Carolina College of which Gen. Hampton was an alumnus, the Columbia militia, the Columbia fire departments, and the mayor and aider man of the city were in the procession. The hearse was driven by a negro, John Johnson, tie aged coachman of General Hampton, who was formerly the general's body servant. The services in the church were con ducted by Bishop Ellison Capers. a life long friend, and a comrade in gray of Hampton, assisted by several Episcopal clergymen. The services were the same or dinarily used in theEpiscopal ch urch and were simple. solemn and impressive There was no funeral oration. There was need ofnone. As the casket was borne into the church "Rock of Ages" was sung by the surpliced choir. The Rev. Mr. Joyner read the lesson of the day and the Rev. Mr. Satterlee announced the hymn "Lead, Kindly Light." This beautiful hymn, which only a short time ago, was sung at memorial services held upon the death of President McKinley because it had been his favor ite hymn, was also the favorite of Gene eral Hampton, and he had requested that it be sung. After the reading of the chapters prescribed in the liturgy, by Bishop Capers, and prayer by Rev Mr. Satterlee, the choir sang "How Firm a Foundation, ye Saints of the Lord," and the remains viere borne out to the bu rial ground. Around Ihe grave, besides the family, were gathered the color bearers of the various organizations with their flags "at rest," and the body was lowered into a grave around which were clustered the old flag.of the Revolution, under which his forefathers fought, the Stars and Bars of the Confederacy, and the Red, White and Blue. When the masonry arch work had been completed the spades were taken from the hands of the workmen by members of the Hampton Legion standing near and the grave was filled in by them. The beautiful floral offerings were so numerous that they covered the grave and the ground for several feet on either side. At the head was the large and beautiful cross of white lillies, the tribute of the Daughters of the Confederacy in Columbia. At the foot was a large easel of flowers from Augusta, and between these the floral tribute of his alma mater, South Carolina College. When the flowers had been placed upon the grave the buglers sounded "taps," the bells of Trinity and the city hall tolled a last requiem for the dead hero statesman, and the last sad chapter in the history of a great life had ended. President Roosevelt made a good irn pression on the people of South Caro lina at the Charleston Expositiori last week, and we are sure that we made a good impression on him and that he will remember pleasantly his visit for many years to come. We feel sure his visit will be beneficial to him and to the people of the State. It will give him a bA.tter impression of the South and its people than he cou'd possibly have had in any other way and the people down here will have a kindlier feeling for President Roos-'velt than tey had before. For ourselves we ad mire Mr. Roosevelt for bis manliness We believe he is no man's man', but so long as be is president he will be presi dent in fact as well as name We be live ha' has the courage of his convic tions, and also that it is his purpose to do the right as he sees it. We may not agree on politics and policies, but a manly man always commainds our re spect and ad]miration wherever we find him. He is a plain man and a mar of te people. We like to see a man in public position who believes in and recognizes merit. His tribute to Maj. Micah Jenkins was full and from the hert, and Jenkins is a Southern man and a democrat. President Roosevelt in his Charleston speechi said be be lieved in promoting men on accout of merit and when he found merit and worth and manliniess arnd ch,arar.ter he would not give the snap of his flager for other thir'gs. Wehbelieve this visit of the president wii give him a better understaiding of our people and put him in better posi ton to deal intelligently with ques tions affecting us. The tribute to bim and the office he fills was enthusiast ic s i whlae souled, and we are sure wvas heartily appreciated and uuderstoou by him.

HIS sOUY. RETURN4 TO GOD WHO G IV E -r. Dr. T. ,ewi't ni m- P am Qni -.1 Washinging, April 12.-Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, the noted Presbyterian di vin-, died at 9 o'lock to nignt at his residence in this city. It had been ev ident for some <lays that there was ao hope of rec.very aid the attending phy sicians so infortmed the family. The pa tient gradually grew weaker until life passed away so quietly that eve i the members of the family, all of whom were watching at the bedside hardly knew that he had gone. The 'ause of his death was inflamation of the brain. Dr. Talmage wai in poor health when he started away from Washington to Mexico for a vacation and rest six weeks ago. He was th .n suffering from influ enza and serious catarrhal conditions Since his return to Washington sometime ago he has been quite ill. Uutil Thurs day, however, fears for his death were not entertained The last rational words uttered by Dr. Talmage were on the day preceding the marriage of his daughter, when he said: "Of course I know you, Maud.'" At Dr Talmage's .bedside, besides his wife, were the following members of the family: Rev. Frank DeWit Talmage, Chicago; Mrs. Warren G. Smith, Brook lyn; Mrs. Daniel Mangum, Brooklyn; Mrs Allen E. Donnan, Richmond; Mrs Clarence Wycoff and Miss Tahuage, Washington. While arrangements for the funeral have not been fipally completed, the family have about decided to have the remains taken to the church of the Cov enant here on Tuesday, where services will be held. The body will then be conveyed to Brooklyn, where interment will be made in the family plot in Green wood cemetery probably on Wednesday. Cure. Blood Poison, cancer, Ulcers, Eczema. Carhuncles, Etc.
