the fate of Columbia in these brief and
suggestive words: THE army, having
totally ruined Columbia, moved on to-
wards Winnsboro."
After the war Gen. Hampton en-
gagged in cotton planting. He accept
ed from the first all the legitimate con-
sequences of defeat-an entire submits
sion to the law, and the civil and po-
litical equality of the negroes-but he
steadily defended the motives and
conduct of his people and their lead
ers. In 1866, speaking of the negroes
he said: 'As a slave, he was faithful
to US; as a free man, let us treat him
as a friend. Deal with him frankly
justly, kindly
Gen. Hampton married early in life
Margaret Preston, youngest daughter
of Gen. Francis Preston. His second
wife was the daughter of Senator
George McDuffie, of South Carolina.
Led the Red shirts.
In 1876 Gen. Hampton led the upris-
ing of the "Red Shirt" Democrats
against Republican carpet-bag and ne
gro rule in South Carolina. 1t was a
memorable and bloody campaign, sew
eral riots having occurred between the
partisans, the most notable being at
Ellenton and Cainhoy. The Red
Shirts" however, were successful at
the polls and the Democrats organized
a state government. The Republicans
claimed that the election had been car
ried by fraud, force and intimidation,
and organized n second government.
The administration at Washington or
Gered troops to Columbia to back up
the Republican contention, and for a
time it looked as if there would be a
revival of Civil War. However, a con-
f1ict was averted, mainly through Gen.
Hampton's cool courage and good
judgment; the troops were finally with
drawn and the state was saved from
the robber gang.
Gen. Hampton served as Governor
two years. and in 1873 was elected to
the United States Senate. The same
year he had the misfortune to lose his
leg in a hunting accident. He remain
ed in the Senate two terms, and was
defeated for reelection by the Till
mantle faction of the Democratic
party. President Cleveland then APP
pointed him United States commission
er of Pacific Railroads. which Office
he held for four years and in which he
was succeeded by Gen. James Long,
street, the incumbent.

yaldosta Ca. April 1.-THE execu-
tive board of the Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs for the state of Georgia
held a meeting here last night, and
this morning a number of prominent
club workers being on hand. The fea-
ture of their stay here was the brill
liant reception rendered them by the
ladies of the Wymodausis Club at the
home of Mr.. w. L. Converse last
night. The home of Mr.. Converse
was deliberately decorated in the colors
of the Wymodausis Club, green and
pink, great festoons of pink roses,
smilax and ferns making the scene a
beautiful one.
The musical programme was unu-
sually rich, opening with selections by
Miss Laura Paine, pianist, and Misses
Edna Briggs, Emile Briggs and Caro-
Lewis, violinists. The address of well
come was delivered by Mrs. Charles
Brantley, and was responded to Mrs.
A. o. Granger, president of the fed
Grafton. A duet by Mrs. Westbrook
Coley ard Miss Mary Porter Lewis
with Miss Paine as pianist, was a de-
llghtful feature of the sevening.
Addresses on women's club work
were delivered by Mrs. Granger and
Miss Head. president of the Dalton
College, both of which gave a better
idea of the work which the women
are doing than was had by many peo-
pie before.
Senior Andonegui, the Spanish violin
list. and Miss Sanford the pianist,
were present and rendered several Sc
lections, making a very happily climax
to a most delightful occasion.

Conduct of Slayer of bass Arouses
Feeling Against Him.
Valdosta, Ga, April 11.-Reports
from Brooks county are to the effect
that Carl Taylor, who was so badly
injured in the fight at the Ocoplico
creek trestle last week, has been ar
rested and lodged in Jail at Quitman
on the charge of murder. 1t is said
that sentiment was in his favor at
first, but when the officers began to
investigate the killing they found evil
dences which placed most of the re-
sponsibility upon him.
1t is said. too, that when he return
ed from Quitman after his wounds
were sewed up he returned to the
home of Bass, who was killed in the
fight, and threatened to shoot his
(BassO wife and child If they did not
get off the place. 1t is also said that
he threatened Bass father. All of
these things together have done much
to make him lose the sympathy which
at first was given him.

Nekoosa Paper company, have their Pulp,
Paper and Sulphite plant located here and tits
The employees of the sulphite plant
have organized a base ball team.
They made their initial bow last Sun
day in a manner that makes NekoOSa
proud of them. The boys have pur-
chased fine gray suits and the word
''Sulphite," embiazoned on the front
of their Jackets, makes the team appear
to good advantage. But they can
also play good ball. With the little
practice they have had thus far and
the showing they have made it ap-
pears that they must be considered as
a powerful factor in deciding the
championship of Nekoosa. Last Sun
day the 'Never Sweats" of Port
Edwards were easily defeated by the
Supplies to the tune of ID to s. The
other teams of the village may well
look askance and fear defeat at the
hands of this new organization. The
rivalry is going to be keen but good
natured. Manager Fritz Armbruster
will be glad to arrange games with
any team.
For the first time this year the
NekooSa base ball team was shut out.
Is to was the final score in the game
with Portage at Kilbourn Sunday.
Portage won by the almost faultless
pitching of Dodge and being able to
bunch their hits at the right time.

to retire in the fifth inning as he was
struck to freely. Dodge struck out
twelve men. About 1900 attended

every point in the Valley. Two

furnished by Cones Military band,
