t,arolininn stood in SpccchlcSS delight
ut the ovation Of the people that he had
redeemed. The proplc of Ahbrvillc
will never forget: Made Hampton and
all that he has done for them. They
honor themselves in honoring him.
Through the war that sacrificed the How

and true, and through that greater, blood.
less war it was to, llis uncrring ,judg-
mcnt that they owe their present and
everlasting redemption.
1t was due to this reception that the
Senator made the most eloquent, effect
i've speech that he has eyer made in this
county. His very soul was moved and
proud telling words calnc pouring forth.
rl'c spontaneous outlurSt of a grateful
heart to the people that he knew would
be true even unto death.
