TflE ENDCAME ON LAST FRIDAY The General, Who Had Just Cele 1 brated His 84th Birthday, Suc cumbs to Valvular Disease of the Heart. Columbia, S C., Special. General vVade Hampton dfed Friday morning it-9 o'clock from valvular disease of the heart: Tb. general had Just passed his 84th birthday. Twice this winter he has bad attacks that, have greatly weakened him, but be rallied wonder fully on both occasions. He was out driving "a week ago, but it was" evident his strength was deserting him. The Governor issued this proclama tion: ,. . "Whereas, the Hon. Wade Hampton, a' former Governor of South Carolina n KnitPd States Senator, died at his borne in Columbia, Friday morning at tfl minutes before 0 ciock. iuu oi vears and ot honor; thererore, 1. m. a. McSweeney, Governor ot boutn Caro lina, in view of his services to bis people and his country through his :ong honored career and In further re :ognitlon of his broad statesmanship ind true nobility of character and his patriotism and devotion to duty and bis State, do request that on tomor row. Saturday, all public offices in the State of South Carolina be closed, and is a further testimonial to his worth that the flags of the State and of the United States be put at half mast on the State Capitol and all other public buildings in the State and remain in that position until the funeral services re held." . . The family, objected to a State- fu neral. Bells were tolled in all the towns when the news was received and many ehools were closed. Gen. Wade Hampton, Son of the second Wade, was" born in Columbia. 3. C, In 1818. He was graduated at the University .of South Carolina, and af-r terwra studied law, but without the inteti'Mi of practicing. Under his father's training he became a good horseman, a famous hunter and. an. ac complished fisherman. He served in the Legislature of South Carolina In early life, but. his political views were those of a Democrat of a national "rath er than of a secessional tendency, and were not popular In his State. His speech against the re-opening of the slave trade was called by the New York Tribune "a masterpiece of logic." His earlier life, however, was devoted to his plantation Interests in South Caro lina and Mississippi and io the pur suits of a man of fortune. "." When the Civil war began. Hampton first enlisted as a private, but soon raised a command of Infantry, and ar artillery, which was known as "Hamp ton's legion." and w'on distinction in the war. At Bull Rt;n, 600 of his in fantry held for some time the Warren ton road against Key's corps, and was smstainlnsr Gen. Boo when Jackson came to their aid. In the Peninsular canvpiign they ;ere again distinguish ed and at Seven Pines lost half of their number, and Hampton himself received a painful wound In the foot. , Soon af terward he was made Brigadier Gener al of dlvary.and assigned to Oen. 3. E. 0. Stnart's command. He was fre quently selected for detached set vie?, in which he was uncommonly, success ful. In the Maryland and Pennsylvania campaigns of 1802 and 1S3 Hampton was actively engaged, and he dlstln gutshed -himself-nt 'flettyr.bttrg. receiv ing three wounds. It is said that 21 out of 23 field officers, nad more than half the men of Gen. Hampton's com mand were killed or wounded In this battle. He waA made a major-genr;ca.l with rank from the third of August. 1863. In 1SG4, after several days' fight:n? he gave Sheridan a check at Trcvil llan's station, which broke up the plan of campaign that Included a Jun'tlon wlth Hunter and the rapture of Lynch burg. In 23 days he captured" over 3,000 prisoners and much material of war with the Iofs of li men.' He was made commander of Lee's cavalry 10 'August, with rank of lUntcn:.nt gener al, and In Sept em brc struck the ran. of tlie'National nrniy.at City Point, bringing away 400 prisonrra and 2.4X6 beeves. Soon afterward, in another action, he -captured five hundred pris oners. In one of these attacks he lost his son In battle.. Hampton was then detached to take command of Gen.' Joseph P. Johnston's cavalry and did what, he could to arrest the advance of Sherman's army north ward of Savannah In the spring of JSU5. After the unfortunate burning of Columbia, S. C., on Its evacuation by the Confederates, a sharp discussion arose between Gen. Hampton nnd Gen. Sherman, each charging the other, with the willful destruction of tho city. V: After the war he at once engaged In cotton planting, but was not successful. He accepted front the first all the legit imate consequences of defeat, ah entire "lbmisBlon-to the law. nnd the civil and political equality of th negro; but be has. steadily defended the motives and conduct of his people sal thei. leaders. In 1K6. speaking of fiie negr he said: As & slave he1 was faithful tc ns; as a freeman let us treat hitu At a friend; deal with him frankly, justly Kindly." During the reconstruction period Hampton's conciliatory polity tonne little favor foir some time, but In 1871 be was nominated for Governor again3s Daniel H. Chamberlain. Each claimed to be elected nd two governments wen organized, but Mr. Chamberlain final! yielded his claim. ' In. 1S78 be met wiib an accident b; which he lost a leg; but, while his lift was despaired of. w lected t the United States Senate, and he erre until 1892. In the Senate his courst was that of a conservative Democrat He advocated a sound currency, re sisting all Inflation. He advocate? w'lth much zeal the nomination o! Thomas A. Bayard for the Presidency In 1892 Gen. Hampton was defeated for the Senate by the now senior Sena tor. Beniamin H. Tillman, and he hai I since then led a quiet life at his coun j try home just outside tho city limit; J of Columbia.

I .. . U . . ' oats, which work was further inter- rupted by heavy nrecipitation In Dc j cember. Nearly all the cereals were seeded much later than usual, and the j unfavorable weather conditions j caused slow and imperfect germina tion of seeds, which were not slicui lated by warmth or protected b.vjcov ering of snow. Reports . generally In dicate, therefore, that a very large j portion of the winter grain crops, es- j pecially oats, was killed, and that the j stands secured are very, popor, ! thourh this U somewhat counterbal-1 anced by the increased acreage. As regards the small grain crops condi tions are worse than last year. The following brief summaries for the firt J luree muuiiis 01 lav year cuuuriu iuu ImnreKRlnr) of onfavnrhl nroBneofs for the cereals this season: January. The weather conditions were very unfavorable for winter wheat, oats, and rye. The almost com plete absence of precipitation during the two first decades, with generally clear skies and bright sunshine, while agreeable for personal activity anl health, proved very injurious for grain which was prevented from ger minating. What had previously ger minated wag checked in growth and spreading prevented. Late sown wheat and oats were also caught by freez ing weather shortly after germinating ana Killed, rail oats sunered mosu from untoward conditions, while rye was not materially injured. February. Very little farm work of any kind was accomplished during February. The condition of the cereals could hardly be estimated on account of the slight signs of growth above ground, but all reports were unfavor able, and indicated extremely back ward condition of both winter wheat and oats. While much grain was killed, it is thought that the roots of much of the crop retain sufficient vitality to give- a moderate stand wh(n- growth starts. Tho snow which remained on the ground over the chief winter-grain districts for more thaa a week, from February 15th to 221, and the abundant moisture- at the close of the month Is thought to have been of'much benefit. Excessive rains February 27th and 28th -west of the Blue Ridge were very "injurious to agricultural interests, aside from the Immense damage to property by the floods; farm lands were badly washed, some crops swept away; plowing was generally delayed, interrupting pre liminary preparations for the crop season. March. On the whole March was ! nearly normal in temperature and was, I quite dry. There was only one severe! cold wave, which culminated in tho lowest temperatures for the month on the . 19th, but. vegetation and crops were nowhere sufficiently advanced ta be injured, except truck crops in tha eastern part of the State which gen erally received adequate protection. The loss from tho freeze, therefore, was comparatively slight. Open weath er during this month iiave an impetus to farm work; plowing began actively and much was accomplished. Soma upland corn was sown, gardens were prepared, Irish potatoes and truck crops were planted, tobacco beds seeded. Wheat Improved considerably In consequence of warmer , weather, and began to show -green; although stands are generally poor", they are not bad enough, excepting in few In stances , to justify plowing up fop other crops. Winter oats, on the other hand, are extremely Inferior, and cn -that account a larger crop of spring oats has been seeded. The outlook for truck crops and strawberries In the important trucking section of eastern North Carolina is bright: in fact, weather conditions this spring have been far better than last year, and tne yield of vegetables and fruit bids fair to be heavy and of excellent quality. At the close of March many fruit trees, chiefly peaches, plums, cherries." and pears were in full bloom with good" prospects for a full crop. Farm work nnd preparations for tha coming season are far in advance oi last year, though still somewhat be hind the average, especially, in the 'western part of the State. . Reports of crop correspondents for 'he week ending .Monday," April J. 15)02. indicate that conditions were not favorable during the past ".week on ac count of very cold and windy weather. The temperature averaged over 6 de grees daily bolow tho -. nonna and .luiavy.-ro8tswr general on several. mornings. Show ers.,-occurred cm the 4th which were small in amount anvi not injurious. Except in several west ern counties -where it is 'fctill too w,et, tho condition cf the soil is favorable, for plowing, though' U Is too cool for the germination of seeds. V hile. sev eral correspondents state that. .poach es were killed by frost, the concensus of opinion is -that fruit of all kinds generally escaped without serloHs-m-Jurv. aud the lo.ss to strawberry an! truck crops was. relatively quite small.
