The snow has now all disappeared
and it has left the ground in good
condition to plow.
There is surne scattering cotton vet
in the field to pick but it do, amount
to much. Farmers realize now that
this is the poorest cotton year that
has been in a great many years.
really no one can remember when
there was such a short cotton crop.
Most Of the cotton is sold and but
few farmers have paid their accounts,
and there seems to be no money in
tho country. 1t really is a gloomy
outlook for the future. Next year
will certainly be hard year on all
GLASSES of people. If there is any
men or class of people or kind of
business or enterprise that has a
bright prospect for the future this
correspondent would like to know of
the fact, for it will certainly be n
pleasure to look upon prosperity these
times.

never be any need for a party caucus,
but they were not more pronounced
than those expressed at the republi-
can House caucus, and it can be stat
ed on the authority OF q dozen men
who were there that no ill-feeling
whatever was shown in the expression
OF their differences, and there is not
the slightest doubt that the committee
appointed by Mr.. Hay will succeed
in making report that will be adopted
by practically unanimous vote at
the next caucus. 1t may be stated
in passing that there is much doubt
whether the differences developed at
tho republican caucus can be as easily
adj usted. In other words, there is
much more probability Of q factional
fight among the republicans in Con-
gress than among the democrats. Just
watch and see II this isn't true.

reason. eve build agricultural
machinery, locomotives, steel rails,
and multitude of other articles in
competition with the world. The same

articles that go into ships. Why.
then, do we need to subsidize ships,
We ought to be able to build them
also in competition with the entire
globe.
Representative eCrumpacker, Of Ind. :,
whose scheme for reducing the repre-
sentation Of the South in the House
was side-tracked by the republican
bosses at the last session OF Congress
because they thought it contained
more political dynamite than they
thought it safe to try to handle, is
talking 1t up again, in order to ascer-
tain how much republican support
he can count upon for the bill If he
introduces it at this session. 1t is
too early to say positively what will
be the result, but the chances are
believed to be against the scheme.

The FIENDISH MASSACRE
OF The HAMPTON FAMILY.

VI lffE 1AMflUN FAMILY.
A Thrilling Story of the War of
the Rcvolufion-Gcner Wade
Hampton's Aged Grandsire was
Slain by the Hand He Grasped
in Frfcndship-A Boys Experi-
ence-Spartanburf the Scene of
the Massacre.
Stories of the Hampton family ere
always read with pleasure, for thi.
family of unswerving patriotism has
been closely identified with the mos,
stirring events in State history since
the beginning of the struggle for
liberty. As he is in receipt of mum
erous requests for information a. to
his family Gen. Hampton has con
sented to lot the appended sketch be
repubIished. 1t is the original man.
uscript of the late Gov. Perry and
was first published in June, 1843,
in magnolia" Following is tho
story under the caption:
"REvoLuTIoNARY INcIDENTs-THE
HAMPTON FAMILY"
Anthony Hampton, the father of
Gen. Wade Hampton, was among
the fisst emigrants from Virgins to
the uppsr'part of South Carolina.
He settled with his family on Tiger
river in the district Of Spartanburg
In 4776 a war with tho mother
country, as England was then called,
became inevitable, and 1t was a mat
ter of the highest importance to the
inhabitants Of the frontiers of Caro-
lima to secure peace with the Cher,
okee Indians. To effect this the
chiefs of that warlike and powerful
tribe we're invited to a big Talk"
at some convenient town in their
nation.
Edward and Preston Hampton,
the sons of Anthony Hampton, were
delegated by their friends and neigh
bors to'mest the Indians ut this CON
ference. and endeavsr to persuade
them, if possible. to remain neutral
in the approaching struggle. But
the British emissarles had already
engaged the Cherokee warriors to
make an incursion into the settle
ments in the upper part Of the State,
ut tho same time that the English
feet under Henry Clinton and Peter
Parker was to. attack Charleston. 1t
IL well known in history that these
movements were Simultaneous.
The young Hamptons had just
eturned from this talk with the III
d,ans when large number of their
warriors commenced their work of
death and destruction upon tho in
hab,tants Of areepville and Spartan
burg, After killing the Hite family
in Enoree they proceeded to Mr.,
Hanpton's where they found the old
gentleman, his lady, their son Pres
ton Hampton, a lad by the name Of
John Bynum. and an infant child OF
John Harrison. They approached
tho house from every direction ip
order to prevent any af its inmate,
FROM esca ping their inhuman carnage
Some Of these lndiaas we're known
TO both Preston Hampton and hi
father, and having received no infor
nation of theii hos,iliries, their visi
was at first supposed TO be friendly
one,. They. were met cordially an{
old Mr.. Hampton was IN the act o
shaking hands with ans of tho chief
whom he saw gun are. and his sor
I Preston fall 10 TIE ground.
r. This wss the signal for an indis
crininate murder. The very hanc
which Mr.. Hampton had bst q no
ment befqa graspad in friendship
R'y sent tolnsAa~k into his skull
His wife was soon dispatched IN tn,
salae manner. The infant son
Mr. Hampton wss dashed against tA,
The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1901-12-13

wall of the house which 1t besprinkled
with his blood and brains. John
Bynum, the lad already mentioned
stood perfectly astounded amidst this
murder and carnage, having lost all
presence of mind and making no
effort to escape. At length an In
dian warrior raised his hand to dis
patch tho youth also, when the blow
was arrested by the band of chief,
who took the lad under his protec>
ton.
Mrs. Harrison, who was the daugh
ter of Mr.. Hampton, had gone to a
neighbor's house, and on her return
saw her fathers house in flames, the
Indians standing around it exulting
with fendish malignity, the,|man-
gled bodies Of her father, mother,
brother and son lying scattered to
and fro in the yard. She was going
to rush forward in the frenzy Of the
moment, 10 make another victim,
when she was restrained by her hus-
bann and forced in another direction
They sought concealment in swamp
and remained there undiscovered
until the savages left the place.
The lad who was rescued by the
chief WAS taken by the Indians to
their nation and remained with them
until tho treaty of 1777 when the
district of PendIeton and Greenville
were ceded 10 the whites. One article
of this agreement was that the Cher
okees should surrender to the com
missioners all their prisoners and
children taken from the homes of the
inhabitants along the frontiers
Among those who were thus sur
rendered waa John Bynum. He
bad, however. been so long with the
Indians that it was with reluctance
he was persuaded to leave them.
Shortly after this massacre large
body Of the South Carolina militia
under the command of Col. Williams
marched into the Cherokee country
and burnt aud destroyed a great maay
Of their town and settlements. Henry
Hampton, son of Anthony Hump
ton, commanded in this body of
militia and killed with his own hand
an Indian warrior att:red in Preston
Hamptons coat which was imme-
diately recognized as he one in which
his brother WAS murdered.
Edward Hampton at the time of
the murder of his father and family
was on visit with his wife to her
father, Bsyliss Earle. living on the
head waters Of Pacolet, and by this
means he would otherwise have shared
with his family. HeIafterwards be-
came a most active partisan in the
cause of his country and was ulti.
mately killed by the "bloody scout
in the bosom of his family.
James Harrison, with the citizens
generally of that part of the country,
sought protection in Princes Fort
where he remained until offered an
opportunity of sending his family into
Virginia. He then devoted his own
personal services exclusively to his
country and was in the battles OF
Blackstocks, Cowpens and Eutaw.
Gen. Wade Hampton was, it is be-
lieved, In North Carolina when his
fatherand family we're murdered in
Spartanburg. HIS services in the
War Of the Revolution are two well
known to be mentioned in sketches
of this CHARACTER. His ext1aordino~
gallaptry At the head of regiment
Of cavalry in the battle of Eutaw as
sisted greatly in the achievements Of
that day, and his noble, daring and
active exertions everywhere con
tributed much to the success Of thu
American arms in South Caro-
lina,-'lruth.

Irrigation ln siberIM.

If the winters are long in Siberia. aud very cold, on the other hand, the summers are extremely warm and dry. The small streams of water dry up dur. ing this season, and agriculture suffers much from this state of things. To remedy the evil, the inhabitants of certain districts in winter collect the snow and accumulate it at the bottom of some narrow valley. They press it and make it compact so that 1t will be more resistant to thawing. At the end of the winter they cover She enormous piles which they have thus formed with branches, straw or earth, in order to protect the snow against the rays Of the sun and the exterior neat. Then, when after long days without rain the water of the streams begin to dry up, the snow, in spite Of it's covering commences to melt, and by means of a ditch made for this purpose. the water which runs down supplies the siver un- til tue return of winter

 In pursuance of the policy now pur- sued by the consular service of ascer- tainlng the state of foreign fields aa opportunities for American labor, cap. 1tal and erterpi Ise, Horace ". Allen eohsql general to Seoul, Korea, writes Tor the consular repoyts under date of January 2S that Korea now employs nc foreign military officers as advisers Or instructors in it's army. and is not likely to do so, ewing to an agreement made with Russia when a large staff Of Russian officers were allowed to leave. By this agreement Korea an- nouneed her ability and intention. to dispense with further assistance of that kind. The many requests from young men who have recently left the service of the United States asking for posi-. tions in connection with the. Korean army are futile. There is no demand for theh services in Korea. There ia no demand for foreign advisers to the Korean government. Although two Americans who held such positions have recently died, their places have been filled, and there is no further de, mand for assistance of that kind The newspaper report that enc of these advisers had been receiving a salary of $100,000 gold per annum Is entirely misleading; such positions pay from $150 to $25o per month. There is nc demand for employees on the railroads 1n Korea. Japanese control and op. crate the steam railroad, and Koreans and Americans are employed on the electric railroads. I believe the post Cons are all filled. Employment with the mines would have to be secured be- fore coming to Korea. The agent of the mines in America Is H. A. Noble. representative of the Oriental Consol- idated Mining company, San Francisco Prospectors cannot operate in Korea, and there is no employment with the mines other than on wages. am told the mining company has no lack of ap. plieants.
