THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
From Charleston to Augusta in 1833
Interesting Account of Railroad Trip When Charleston Ham
burg Line Was Longest in World. This Old Trip as Com
pared With Present Facilities.
Through the courtesy of a corres
pondent in Blackville. S. ('., we print
the following extracts'"from the ac
count of a New England traveller who
made the trip from Charleston to
Hamburg In October IS3R. At that time
the rqad was the longest in the world,
and had only been in operation about
a month.
Speaking of its construction he
he says:
“Tho road consists of a single track
with turnouts at various places. The
tails of the track are built of the tim
ber of the country, heart plntf full of
pitch. In the wet and boggy places,
first are driven piles ten feet, more or
less, into the soil. Over these, connect
ing limbers at an equal distance from
each other. On the ends of the cross
timbers the rail timbers are placed;
on the inner side of the upper surplus

was ashamed to go In com

was irritated and pimples
would come on my scalp.
My hair came out badly; It
became thin and dry. so dry
that it secerned as though
there was no life In It.
“Remedies failed to do me any good.
About a year ago 1 saw the advertisement
of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and sent
for a sample. After the first treatment I
discovered 1 was getting better. ] pur

and continued using them until 1 was

It is so easy to get rkl of sldn troubles by
using Cuticura Soap exclusively and a little
Cuticura Ointment occasionally that it Is
a pity not to do so in all cases of pimples,
redness, roughness, Rollings and irritations.
A single set is often sufficient when all else

Cuticura Ointment (30c.) are soitVhy drug

lying hard upon the ground. The city
of Charleston being one dead level as
well as the suroundlng country for
miles, there are excellent routes for
railroads. The expense of them is of
course far less than at thA north,
where bridges are to he built, hills to
flit through and the like. Indeed the
expense of tho whole of this road is
said to be less than any one of the
northern railroads.”

No matter what the cause of your

remedy and it soothes while it heals.
But we can’t do justice to Ex founa-Ko

THERE'S NO SENSE
iN TAKING CALOMEL
Dodson’s Liver Tone will fix up
your liver safely and won’t “knock
you out’’ a day. A man feels very
little like working and a child don’t
want to go to school when bilious
or constipated. If you try calomel
to cure you the chances are that you
will he so weakened by its after-el**
foots that you will be laid up for two
or three days more. So we say "Don’t
take Calomel.” You can get a perfect
remedy to take the place of calomel
at any first class drug store that is
guaranteed to relieve constipation and
liven up the liver Just as quickly as
calomel, hut without any of the
had after-effects of calomel. The
name of this medicine is Dod
son’s Liver Tone. It is pleas
I ant tasting vegetable tonic that mildly
stimulates the liver and causes ii to
work just right without any danger
of salivation. If it doesn’t fully satis
fy you, you may have your money
back from the store where you bought
Dodson's.
“Before we started the engine was
gine would run, for we road that:
sent off for some to be tried.
After the pasengers been detained
a quarter of an hour beyond the ap
pointed hour, they started at the rate
of 10 or 12 knots The country as far
as the eye could see was shaded with
here and there a solitary live oak and
woods of pitch pine. In a little while
the speed of the engine began to di
minlsh and soon after came to an end.
The cause of this stoppage T was told
was "want of steam." So after Sambo
had been sent back to pick up some
brush and other procurable fuel the
engine began to go again like tin 1
Dutchman, who, while advancing in
the march, stopped to light his pipe
that lie might take the enemy under
cover of the smoke,"
It may have been this same Sambo
who a little later while making up
steam at Charleston was amazed by
noise of escaping steam and tied the
safety valve down, thereby causing the
first locomotive boiler explosion in
this country which, incidentally, blow
Sambo into a land where the railroads
have not yet reached
On this occasion, however, the man
agement of the engine was "wonder-
We note that travel has not

"At Woodstock the road seemed to
vary In construction In no respect
from the part at Charleston. The
management of the engine was indeed
wonderful. Now It went as if Satan
were at its heels Now It: scarcely
dragged its freight. Several times i‘
came to a dead stand for ".want of
steam."
“After continuing in the afternoon
in the above manner, .Vpplng, then
going fast, then slow again, we arrived
at two or three log houses and one
half built tavern amid a half grown
forest of pitch pine. Here was Black
ville. A few fires glimmered on the
ground and a square rough boarded
fabric stood by the roadside, which
was the• storehouse. Here was to he
our tarrying place for the night. We
had accomplished the wonderful dis
tance of 90 miles from 8 a. in. ft 1-2 p.

“We were shown into a room fur
nished with a few old chairs and a
table. The food upon it was good, the
cooking probably that of slaves, mis
erable. After supper I went out and
stood by the fire in the open air. At
last tired and fatigued, I applied for a
couch to the landlord There were, I
believe, about five rooms and twenty
five or thirty passengers were to share
them. The landlord conducted me to
a room containing three beds. The
room was occupied by four, a New
Yorker and a Georgian in one bed, a
real tar in the second and myself in
the third. The Georgians have natu
rally some of the best of hearts. Hence
why a Yankee should he thought wor
thy of one’s society. A South Carolinian
should have shunned the New Yorker
las if a wild beast.
There being no appeal from this
mode of sleeping a submission seemed
best.
"Five rooms were built opening into
one entrance, separated from each
each other by a hoarded partition, of
which the cracks were inch only in
width. Besides the partitions did not
extend to the top.
The rooms very much resembled a
row of stalls in a. stable open above.
Anything said at one end could be
heard at the other. In one. of tnem
were several ladies."
Rather embarrassing, we should say
- for the Indies. We wonder what
Blackville folks think of this descrip
tion of their town. We notice, how
ever that when settling time came In
the morning, the hotel man knew his
business, for the traveler says that:
"After having slept snugly the hell
rang and get up was the watchword.
Having dressed, the door to breakfast
soon opened. Of the latter T make no
complaint except of its cooking. The
fee $4 was paid and we started again.
The road continued as above The
land grew uneven. Long and undula
ting hillocks appeared. Where those
were cut through the ground actually
resembled red brick dust. Here com
menced the uplafid Nearly 100 miles
had been one* vast plain. The country
grew more hilly until' we reached
Aiken, 120 miles from Charleston,
where the ear stopped and out bag
gage was taken out, put Into another
car to go down tin “inclined plane."
’l’he old car Immediately returned to
Charleston. The new one was let down
tho inclined plain by negroes. Its
perpendicular descent might have
been 200 feet in the horizontal dis
tance of 1-200. On either side was a
stand with railings. Two negroes on
each stand turned ?j crank in its cen
ter. We soon hegaj? to go about five
or six miles and hour The country
became more hilly in our cruise. At
4 p. m. the car stopped at Hamburg,
13ft niiles from Charleston. Having
been apprised of the fare, 75 cents
each, demanded by the stage for car
rying passengers across Augusta
bridge, j slipped a quarter Into a ne
gro’s hands and walked on foot while
he lugged my baggage to the United
States Hotel in the city. The Htage
driver seemed chagrined.
*The United States Hotel 1h a large
airy building. The fare iH $1.50 per
day. The building, its furniture, the
table and the attendants are exactly
of the same quality as those of the
Commercial at Boston with this ’dif
ference, that the servants are slaves
and the food much crisped in cooking.
