In reading the many notices of Col.
Hugh S. Thompson's death and the
men who were on the Hampton tick
ct it is sad to think that not one is
left. AS we think back to those stir
ring times picture comes in our
minds eye It is night and watch
is set to keep the portals: The city
is being secured to find the truant
member; the lei holding a returning
boards certificate. He is safe in the
Columbia hotel, and cannot be found
by the sergeant at arms OF the
Mackey house The next morning
he is escorted to the Wallace house
and is sworn in and this house be-
came the legal lower house of the
general assembly OF South Carolina,
and Chamberlair's power is broken,
Mackey is vanquished, and South
Carolina is saved The three men
who made this possible have almost
been forgotten; one is dead, another
is in another state and the last is
lying on bed of sickness from which
in all probability he too will pass
ovsr the river to join SO many prom
inent actors Of that day who have
gone on and now rest under the
shade Of the trees" We should never
forget these men who risked all for
the good Of the state, and gave to
posterity the priceless boon OF white
supremacy in South Carolina All
honor to these men and for all time.
