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 DANDRUFF FALLING HAIR ITCHING SCALP Coat Collar Covered, Ashamed to Go in Company, Cuticura Soap and Ointment Completely Healed.

It was Sso had at tiipes my coat collar would be covered so I was ashamed to go In com pany. It itched so my head 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 chased some Cuticura Soap and Ointment and continued using them until 1 was completely cured.” (Signed) Geo. W. King, Jan. 1, 1914.

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.” There seems to have been some doubt as to whether or not the en- ft FREE Bottle of BIEX-ZEMA-FO^ EX-ZEMA-FO, the colorless, odorless, non-staining liquid, has made good with so many thou sands of skin sufferers, that we want you to try the first bottle at our expense —not a mere sample— but a regular 50c bottle of stan dard size and quality.

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 ( hanged so grout ly, after all, for: "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.

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.

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.

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. “Augusta Is the finest city I have yel seen in the South.
