Judge E. A. J. Comb.

By authority we announce to-
day the candidacy OF Judge E. A.
J. Comb for congress from this
district. Judge Comb has for a
number of years been the High
M uck-A-Muck OF local politics in
his section, and IS at present hold
ing one of the most important
positions within the gift of his
people, that OF Justice of the
peace, and is a wholly terror to
the lawless element Of his COM
munity. Having fought, bled
and died for his country during
the Spanish-American war and
being well posted in National pol
itics and the Importance of ma
tional Legislation for South Mis-
sissippi he feels it mis- duty to
yield to the solicitations Of his
numerous friends over the dis
trict and enter the race Tor Con-
gress. Should he be elected, he
will serve his people faithfully.

The result of this Investigation
SHOWS the importance and justice
Of carefully guarding our state
institutions from untrue and
damaging aspirations, which SO
often affect their usefulness and
dignity. Especially is this true
OF our great schools, which are
meant to elevate, to lift up and
TO train morally as we'll as ment-
ally the young people of Missis-
sippi, who are so soon to take the
places of those who are now
building for the future.
tits well, therefore, that this
investigation was made. The
conclusions of the committee
seem TO have been reached with
out bias and a verdict which de-
cIares that 'the greatest harmo-
ny prevails throughout the insti-
tuition, both between the presi-
dent, faculty and student BODY,
as well as all the officials connect
ed Herewith, and that this in
stltution is superior to any other
institution of Ike characterin the
south, " the friends of President
Klncannon and Of the institution
itself have cause to rejoice ex-
ceedrngIy, and an incentive to Ia
Dor still more vigorously for the
upbuildingof this school.-Merid-

Quietly Away Surrounded
by His Loved Ones.

Washington, April 12. Rev.
r. Dewitt Talnage, the noted
Presbyterian divine, died ut 8
o'clock tonight at his residence in
this city 1t had heen evident
for some days that there was no
hope of recovery and the attend
ing physicians so informed the
family. The patient gradually
grew weaker until life passed away
so quietly that even the, embers
Of the family, all of whom were
watching at the bedside, hardly
know that he had gone. The
cause of death was inflammation of
the bl ain.
DR.. Talmage was in poor health
when he started away from Wash>
ington to Mexico for vacation
and rest six weeks ago. He was
then suffering from influenza and
serious catarrhal conditions. Since
his return to Washington sone
time ago he has been quite i'll.
Until Thursday, however, fears
for his death were net entertained.
The last rational words uttered by
DR.. Talmags were on the day pre-
cediag the marriage of his daugh
ter, when he said: "Of course I
know you, Maud"
At DR.. Talmage's bedside were
his wife andths following me M bers
of his family: Rev. Frank DsWit
Talmage, Chicago; Mrs. Warren
u. Smith, Brooklyn; Mrs. Daniel
Aaugum, Brooklyn; Mrs. Allen
E. Dsanan, Richmond; Mrs.
Clarence Wye, q and Miss Tai
mage, Washington.
While arrangements for the
funeral have not been finally con-
pleted, the family have about
decided to have the remains taken
to the church of the Covenant
here on Tuesday, where services
will he hold. The body will then
be conveyed to Brooklyn, whore
Intermsnt will be made ia tho
family plot in Green wood ceme-
tory probably on Wednesday.

dsnce in his followers. When he
stood on the steps Of tho State
hsuse in Columbia in November
1875 aud announced to the sulg-
ing mass of people, wrought up to
the highest pitch of excitement:
$50 help me God, l shall he your
Governor, or there shall be no
Governor of South Carolina"
they knew that his word was his
bond and they made it their law.
Hampton knew that an out
break ut that time would have lost
the cause for which he had been
fighting. The people paid heed
to his words and South Carolina
was redeemed from negro domi-
nation.
In 1878 he lost leg by an acsi9
dent and while his life was despair
ed of he was elected to the United
States Senate as a Democrat. He
served two terms in the Senate,
from 1879 to 1890, and during
that period he displayed as broad
statesm anship a. he had exhibit
ed bravery and skill as a soldier.
Of the treatment of Hampton
by tho dominant faction of the
Democratic party in this State af-
ter the advent of Tillmanism, We
shall say bat little; and shall pass
it over under sense of hamilia-
ton.
1t is a blot upon tho escutcheon
of South Carnlipa which can new
er be effaced. 1t should never be
forgotten by the true sons of the
Palmetto State. God grant that
the time may come when it will
be avenged.
In 1898 Hampton was appoint
ed United States railroad commits
sioner which Office he held during
President Cleveland's second
term Since his retirement from
that Office in 1897 he has led the
life of gentleman, spending the
most of his time in Colum bia. For
two years or more his health has
been failing. He goes to his eter
nal reward after long life, we'll
spent, to sleep,
"As sleep the brave, who sink to
rest
BY al their couutry's wishes blest.

March %, 1918. He was gradu-
ated from tho University of South
Carolina and afterward studied
law, but with ne intention Of
practicing. He served in the
South Carolina Legislature IN
early life, but the greater portion
of his time was devoted to his
plantation interests in South
Carolina and Mississippi. and to
the pursuits of gentleman.
When the Civil war opened he
entered the military service Of

raised a command of infantry,

after he was made brigadler gen

He was frequently selected for
detached service in which he was
uncommoply successful. In the
Maryland and Pennsylvania cam
paigns of 1S62-63, he took very
active part, and at Gettysburg
was thrice wounded. 1t is stated
that 21 out of % field officers and
more than half the men of Hamp-
tons command were killed or
wounded in this battle. August
3, 1868, Hampton was made a
major general. In 1874, after
several days lighting, he gave
Sheridan check at Trevillian s
