Henry T. Thompson.

That Colonel Thompson would Of
fer for election as Adjutant General
was also a surprise. He is one of the
best military men in the state, and
has been identified with the militia
for a long time.
Col Henry T. Thompson is son Of
the late Hugh S. Thompson, who was
elected State Superintendent of Edu
cation on the Hampton ticket, and la
ter resigned that position to accept
position in the Treasury Department
under President Cleveland. Henry T.
Thompson was born in Columbia,
July 6, 1853 He was educated at I'm
ion College, Schenectady, n. Y, He
was assistant professor in the South
Carolina Military Academy for one
year and served as private secretary
under his father while he was Gov
ernor. He was admitted to the Bar in
1884. and practiced at Darlington un-
til the outbreak Of the war with Spain.
when he volunteered as Captain or
the Darlington Guards He was pro-
NOTED to Major of the Independent
Battalion, and afterwards Lieutenant
Colonel of the Second South Carolina
Regiment. When this regiment was
mustered out of service, Colonel
Thompson was appointed by Presl-
dent Mckinley a Captain in the
Twenty-ninth Infantry, but he did
not retain this position very long, and
resigned in order to enter business in
his native State. Since that time he
has held the position of Agency Di-
rector of the New York Life Insur-
ance Company, with headquarters In
Columbia. During his residence here
Colonel Thompson has taken an ac-
tive part in the affairs of the city, be-
ing prominent in the work OF the
Timrod Library Association, and serv-
ing one term as Chairman of the Po-
lice Commission. He has for several
wears served as Colonel Of the Second
Regiment of South Carolina National
Guard, and has kept his command in
excellent condition. When Colonel
Thompson was Captain of the Dar-
-lington Guards that company was
considered the best military company
in the State, and during that time
Colonel Thompson's military Ideals
were put to a severe test when the
Darlington riot occurred. He person.
ally sympathized with that element
which was opposed to the States ad-
miniStration, especially since some or
his close personal friends had been
shot in the fight with the dispensary
constables. but, Notwithstanding that
fact, Captain Thompson maintained
discipline in his command and obeyed
orders from the Commander-in-Ch
His attitude in this trouble did much
to preventing the riot becoming more
serious than it already was.
Colonel Thompson is not only
true military man, but gentleman or
highest character and most excellent
personality and disposition. He has
a strong following of personal friends
throughout the State, as we'll as a
strong following among the members
of the National Guard.
Colonel Thompson will be obliged
to go with his regiment to the en-
campment at Fort Moultrie, and will
not be able to join the campaign par
ty for several days.-Written for the
Press by James A. Hoyt Of Columbia.

THAT BILLIARD MATCH.
Willie Hoppe Gave Splendid Exhi-

The boy wonder, Willie Hoppe, at
tracted a crowd of billiard lovers to
the Wooster parlors last night, and
all we're we'll rewarded for their
presence, for they saw one of the
greatest billiard contests that has
ever been pulled off in the state,
when Hoppe defeated Cutler after
an exciting contest between the two
experts with the cue. There were
many features in the game that held
the spectators spellbound and the
runs of more than 100 gave them
the opportunity to applaud. 1t was
one of the best exhibitions that has
been pulled off in this city and mer-
tied the big attendance. Both of
the experts were in rare form and
as a consequence some beautiful
shots resulted. Hoppe as was ex-
pected won out. but Cutler displayed
great control and was an opponent
that made the boy wonder extend
himself. The following were the re-
