Augusta Years Ago
Looking Backward Concerning Residents and Happen
ings in the Younger Days of Augusta; and Other Items
By HENRY F. SAX&N
FIFTEEN YEARS AGO
Ben E. Lester, traffic manager of
The Consolidated Steamboat Com
pany of Augusta, went to Savan
nah in connection with the leasing
of the steamer Augusta from the
Augusta Steamboat Company. It
was proposed to inaugurate a semi
weekly service both ways between
Augusta and Savannah on the river.
The company already had in opera
tion the steamers Swan and Katie,
large boats, and proposed using
these steamers for heivv traffic
while the Thetis, a smailer boat,
was to be used in transporting
lighter cargoes.
The steamer Two States, which
had beenoperated by the company,
was to be returned to her owner,
Captain Hadden of Savannah, who
would operate independntly from
Savannah to local landings on the
river. The steamer New Dublin was
being operated on the river between
Augusta and Savannah, stopping at
all local landings, by the Farmers
and Merchants line.
Mayor W. M. Dunbar on return
ing from Athens, where he attend
ed the State Confederate Reunion,
gave out the staoement that "the
paving on upper Broad street was
being unnecessarily delayed" and he
was afraid that “the work will not
be completed as early as was an
ticipated.”
Judge Henry C. Hammond, of the
Richmond superior court, signed or
ders incorporating the "Augusta
Garage and Supply Company,” or
ganized with a capital of $15,000.
An order was also signed by the
judge incorporating the “Fourcher
Augusta Cotton Picking , Machine
Company.” The organization of this
company was the outgrowth of
Harry Fourclicr’s tinkering with a
machine to take the place of hu
man cotton pickers in the fleecy
fields. "This concern is to manu
facture and hold the patent rights
on a cotton picker machine which
it is claimed is a success.”
That was fifteen years ago, and
they are still plucking the snowy
fluffs with the machine God first
made.
Postmaster S. B. Vaughn ap
pointed J. E. Taliaferro to be super
intendent of carriers, a newly creat
ed position at the local postoffice.
Mr. Taliaferro was also to act as
assistant to M. E. Carroll, superin
tendent of mails.
“Mrs. W. I. Wilson left yesterday
for Hdphzibah for the purpose of
organizing a chapter of the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy there.”
“Mrs. A. J. Salinas and Master
Anthony Salinas will return Fri
day from a northern trip including
New York, Niagara Falls and
Canada.”
“The funeral of Samuel C. Ad
ams, who died Friday alght at his
residence, 1127 Telfair street, will be
held from the Greene Street Pres
byterion church Sunday afternoon
at four o’clock.
"The following gentlemen will act’
as pallbearers: W. A. Waters. R. F.
Mcßae, Albert Twiggs. George
Twiggs, C. E. Whitney, Ft. K.
Lowrey.
“The mayor, the city council, all
of the city officials, the chief of
the fire department of the city and
the men of the department will at

council from the third ward. Fol

"Messrs. Charles Plank and Joe
White. Jr., are the owners and
managers. Mr. Plank’s ability as a
musician renders liisn specially ca
pable of handling the difficult mu

Mr. White's intimacy with theatri

places him along with tho leading
managers of the country. These two
gentlemen will also take a promi
nent part In the peufbrmance.
“A brass band and orchestra will
also he attractive features. They
will render all the old favorite
selections, such as ‘Marie,’ 'Daisy

“The opening performance will

to witness the "unleashing” of the
hounds, and as their “bays’’ sound
ed forth on the early morning
Christmas air, a shout of encourag
ment went up from the gathered
onlookers. Quito a number of
hounds entered for the race and
"they displayed very plainly in their
running costumes the splendid phy
sical condition they .were in from
tHeir season’s work in the gymnas
ium. More than nine miles were
run and all came back quite fresh;
none were injured in the least by
their splendid performance.”
Fast time was mado in tlie chase.
The start was made at 9:45, and at
10:47 the "hares,” Bansiey and Ben
son, came “bounding back into the

ly one hour and two minutes.” They
were elosoly followed and in ten
seconds following their return to
tlie building, Clem Castleberry, one
of tlie "hounds” rushed in. Castle
berry was followed within a few
minutes by other ‘hounds.” The
route of the chase lay over to
ward North Augusta and for about
four miles beyond the foot of tho
hill.
The hare nnd hound chase oc
cupied the greater part of the
morning, nnd shortly after the re
turn of tho runners to the building

It was dinner time.
In tho afternoon a croktnole
tournament was the attraction at
