was to his left, and he hurried to its
sound and came up to the support

driven early in the morning.
To follow Gen, Hampton's career
as soldier would be to write his
tory of hundred battles. This has
been done by the able and accom-
plished author of champion and His
Cavalry" snd we'll done.
We speak Of him now only IS We
think of his general career as a SOL
der. Of noble presence, a superb
horseman and swordmsn, quick to
decide and as prompt to execute, he
was the admiration of his gallant
officers and soldiers, and they fol,
lowed his lead with unquestionlng
devotion, and made the cavalry arm
of Lees army, especially IN the great
campaign of '64, SO essential to its
support that Gen. Lee did not hesl-
tate to write 20 Gen. Hampton i'm
mediately after the war, that if he
and all his cavalry had been present,
"the result at Five Forks would have
been different"
With such division commanders as
Butler the Lees and Rosser, and led
by general in whom Lee contided
and on whose judgment he relied,
the splendid achievements of Hamp-
toms cavalry at Hawes Shop; at
Trevillisn; ca the north side OF the

rear of Grants army; at burgess

'65, will be more and more q study
of thrilling interest to military stu
dents, a source of honorable pride
to every true soldier, and will never

votion of Gen. Hampton.
He was great soldier, but he was
also a great citizen, and every inch
q true man.
He loved his native State with a
love unfelgned, and in his last hours
invoked the blessings of God upon his
people. With unaffected humility he
freely spoke of his sincere trust IN
the mercy and love Of God, his
Father, and the infinite merits of
Jesus, his only Saviour, whom he
said "would not deceive him." and in
whose words be confded.
And so the great soldier died!

staff in the Confederate army. He
passed away peacefully and seemed
simply to drop off to sleep. Such
was the end of grand mans career,
the end of a man great in life and
still great in death.
His last words, except some sacred
to his family, we're: "All my people,

"HAMpToN-THE soLD1ER"-TR1BUTE BY
BISHOP ELLISON CAPERs.
Among the distinguished soldiers
of South Carolina Wade Hampton
stands pre- eminent. From Manas
sas to Appomsttox his career was
marked by a genius for war, which
won for him promotion from the
rank of colonel to that of lleuten,
ant general, and the command OF the
cavalry of the army of Northern Vir-
ginia.
Like his great Confederate com
rade, Lieut.. Gen. Forrest, Gen.
Hampton was born leader of men
and a soldier by instinct. He showed
this natural instinct for war at the
first battle of our great struggle for
Southern independence.
The battle of Manassas was opened
on the morning of Jnly 2lst, 1861,
by an attacking column of l,5OO
Federal infantry, with numerous bat
teries, marching against the left and
rear of the Confederate army. Evans,
with handful of Carolinians and
Louisianians, had changed his front
to the rear, and with his heroic firm,
ness he had faced and checked the
enemy's advance for an hour. Over
borne by the force of numbers, he was
reinforced by Bee and his Alabama,
Mississippi and Tennessee regiments,
and Boston with his Georgia and
Kentucky battalions, and the bat
teries of Latham and Imboden. For
another hour these gallant Confed
crates breasted and checked the
sweeping tide, but the critical hour
had come, and they were about to
lose their battery at the Robinson
house W en- Hampton led his legion
directly to its support, and charged
the forces in it's front.
Arriving at the Lewis house while
the unequal contest was raging, he

from every direction since the news
of the death of Gen. Hampton was
flashed over the wires.
Wade Hampton was undoubtedly
the most prominent figure in Con-
federate circles when he died. He
was commander whose dash vas
equalled by his strategy and general
ship. and the eminent soldier, Robert
E. Lee, regarded him as one OF the
grandest soldiers of his age. When
he was taken from the army IN Vir-
ginia Lee said that the right arm OF
the army had been cut off. For these
reasons, and scores of others, Wade
Hampton was loved, and thousands
will mourn with the family.
HIS LAST PUBLIC APPEARANCE.
The news of Gen. Hsmpton's death
was scarcely surprise, yet it was
not expected for few days more at
least. The old soldier had been in
failing health for some months. His
last public appearance was in Char
lesto on the occasion of the South
Carolir,a college centennial, Decem-
Der 18th last. On that occasion there
we're two occasions upon which the
aged hero spoke, and he made bril-
liant speeches exciting great enthu-
siasm. One speech was in the audi
torium; the other at the banquet that
night. Gen. Hampton had not been
so much like himself in years. He
came back to Columbia and soon his
friends saw that the end was ap-
preaching. During the past few
months be has steadily been growing
weaker, though up to short time
ago. he continued to take his daily
drive accompanied by his sons. Six
days ago the general became very
weak, and had to take to his bed.
He fully realized that the end was
near. During the last "a hours be
had been conscious only at times.
WHEN THE END CAME.
On Thursday evening Gen. Hamp-
ton had long farewell talk with one
of his t,isters, in which he expressed
beautiful sentiments. To Bishop
Capers and to one Of his devoted
friends and comrades he expressed
himself in beautiful terms, forglVlng
all enemies and referring to the great
beyond.
When the end finally came there
were with the general, who was un'
conscious, his sisters, Misses Kate and
Caroline Hampton, his devoted
daughter, Miss Mary McDuf6e Hamp
ton, his sons Messrs. Geo. McDuhf
and Alfred Hampton, his nephew

John G. Haskell, and DR.. B. W. Tay

OUTLINE OF Thu CAREER OF THE GREAT
LEADER.

Lieut.. Gen. Wade Hampton was
born IN Charleston on March Is,
1913. In Hasel street, within the
sound of the chimes of old Saint
Michael's, he first saw the light. His
great grand father came from Vir-
ginia to the colony of South Caro-
lima prior to the Revolution and set
tied in Spartanburg district, where
he and most of the family were mur-
dered by Indians in 1775. Several
of the sons including Gen. Hsmp-
tons grand father were away at the
time and escaped the massacre, and
all served in the War for Indepen-
dence. Wade Hampton, the deceased
generals grand father, was in Wash
ington's cavalry, and was lieutenant
colonel at the battle of Eutaw. The
swish of Col. Hampton's sword was
always heard in the charge. In the
war of 1912 this soldier was gen.
eral. He was one of the first cotton
planters and acquired much land in
Mississippi and Louisiana as we'll as
South Carolina. Col. Wade Hamp-
ton, the dead chiefs father, was a
planter with large estates, and he
loved blooded stock. He had pri-
vate racetrack at his beautiful home
near Columbia, burned by Sherman.
Col Hampton was a warrior also.
He served on Gen. Jackson's staff at
the battle of New Orleans and bore
the news to Washington, riding one
horse the entire distance to Colum-
bia, at the rate of 72 miles day.
The deceased general learned to
ride, shoot and "speak the truth" at
Mlllwood, and received rare training.
His mother was Miss FitzSimons.
Gen. Hampton was educated at the
South Carolina university from which
he graduated in the class of 1885.
He then studied law, but with 10 in
tention of practicing, however. Prior
to the war the young mans planting
interests in Mississippi consumed
much of his time and he usually
spent his winters there. The last
crop before the war raised on this
place was 5000 bales. The COM
mand of the number of overseers and
laborers gave him good schooling
for what he was soon to devote his
attention-the command of soldiers.
When the State seeded Hampton
obeyed the call to arms quickly, 60
ing in as private, but soon raising
the Hampton Legion composed of
six companies of infantry, four troops
of cavalry and one battery of artll-

The Departmental Libraries.

AS a foundation for the public library
campaign, The Star printed an exhaustive
account of the books which were stored in
out the city. In all, 100000 books found
places on the shelves of these libraries
AT the same time there We're upward of a
million books piled high in the crowded
quarters of the Library of Congress a the
Capitol The suggestion was made by a
correspondent that the miscellaneous non
technical books from the department libra
rles be gathered together in the new post
office building and constitute a Washington
Public Library. This suggestion was at once
followed up editorially. Attention was called
to the fact that these departmental libraries
were accessible only to a certain number of
government employees; that the vast wealth
of reading matter in the Congressional Ii
brary was practically out of the reach OF
the workngman, owing to the hours of
opening and closing and the conditions
placed upon the enjoyment of it's privileges.
Attention was called to the fact that near
ly every little New England village and
middle states town had library of the
kind needed here, not to mention the we'll
supplied large cities of the republic. This
general editorial review of the situation
also recited that there had been several
local movements toward securing such
library in the past. In 1887 the labor
ganizations of the city gave some attention
to the matter and subscriptions to the
amount of $1,000 were raised for the pur-
pose. The commissioner Of labor had sug-

use of books. which are such an essential
part of twentieth century civilization.

The Stars Campaign.

A newspaper campaign for municipal
improvement is comparatively a recent de-
velopment of the functions of the public
press. How such a campaign may be con-
Quoted to a successful termination and how
the present library facilities of the city
have been developed may well be told in
the same story. The files of The Star will
tell this story in it's fullness. In these files
will be found not only the record of the
progress of this campaign, but active
initiative in the formation and development
of plans, in the forma ton and development
of public sentiment, and in the consistent
and persistent holding up of the ideal to
be attained Naturally the greater interest
has been manifested in securing the mu-
nicipal library. The Star announced its
text on this question as long ago as jan
uary p, 1891 when it gave Washington's
need in editorial as "a Carnegie, free
library act or both" 1t got both. First
the free library act and if this had not
been secured and a library established and
its maintenance provided for as an item in
the tax levy, the proposition could not have
been made to Mr.. Carnegie and as gladly
accepted by him to provide the city with a
library building, Mr.. Carnegie builds no
homes for libraries except on the condition
of a guarantee of tax maintenance.
