lotion futures were dealt in nearly a
century ago in South Carolina. The in

zen. Wade Hampton, father of the
present venerable soldier and states
man, was party to the cotton deal.
ana IT is not surprising that, as that
gentleman was then the chief patron
OF the turf in South Carolina. that a
remarkable horse race was involved.
Alnsley Hall, who came from England
as a clerk. and afterward established
himself there as a merchant and cot.
ton buyer, had, when the war of 1912
closed, conditional contract with
zen. Hampton for the purchase of
Hampton's three crops of cotton that
had been stored pending the close of
hostllities. A large amount was in
VOWED, as the general was perhaps the
most extensive planter in the state at
that time, working hundreds of slaves
In his cotton fields. The sale was made
at stipulated price provided Hall sig
mined his confirmation of the bargain
TO kirkpatrick & Co., their mutual fac
tors in Charleston, before it was re-
scinded by Hampton's order.
The news of peace between England
and America was received in Columbia
by both Hampton and Hall about the
same hour. The latter had not yet con-
firmed the cotton trade, and as it was
known that cotton would Immediately
advance 300 or 400 per cent, each
was interested to the amount of about
$4,000 in first communicating with the
factor in Charlottesville one to con-
firm and the other to nullify the agree
ment.
By the old stage road, which was
very rough in those days, Charleston
was 137 miles from Columbia. and the
swiftest communication was, of course.
by mounted messenger. Hall FASTENED
away little. wiry, tough Scotchman
in his employ, mounted on feet horse,
to close the contract with kirkpatrick,
while Gen. Hampton started his most
trusted negro jockey, astride of his
best racer, bred and trained to run
eight miles, with a note revoking the
conditional contract.
The little Scotchman had two hours
start and was told to win the race
without considering the life of the real
ly splendid horse he mounted. The
negro jockey, however, was ordered to
ride fast, but with judgment, and not
injure the pride of the Hampton
stables.
1t was remarkably close run for the
distance. Two days of racing brought
the ambassador of Hall to the door of
Kirkpatrick's Office on horse that was
dead spent and died of fatigue ten min
utes later, while, with long, easy stride,
the Hampton thoroughbred came to
the door, with plenty of reserve force,
but just losing by nose one of the big

Highway Robbery by Accident.

Gen. Martinez Campos, returning
from his club one night, was hustled
by an unknown man. Clapping his
hand on his waistcoat, the general
discovered that his gold watch and
chain were missing. He rushed after
the unknown. seized him by the
throat, and Kissed: "Give up the
watch, you scoundrel, or I'll choke

over gold watch and chain, and the
general continued his journey home.
