PENSION FUND $400,000. Understood Christensen Will Retain Chirmanship. Columbia, March 1.?Under the j conference report adopted tonight the Confederate pension fund will be $400,000, an increase of $100,000. It is understood tonight that in view of this development Senator Niels Christensen has determined - that he will hold the chairmanship of the finance committee. This is a fortunate decision and one which means a continuance of work and ef' ficiency. " ? i? namourg ruoi iaic ncwiu. An item in The Chronicle and Sentinel under date of July 6th, 1876 reads: "Military or Civil Authority?On the fourth, while two young men were riding through Hamburg, on their way home, they were detained on the streets by the colored military company which was parading at the time. These two young men remonstrated at the treatment they were receiving and the soldiers threatened to keep them overnight. That was sure some humiliation for such hjgh strung young men as the gentlpmen were known Xo be, but what could they do? However, they made 'application to Prince Rivers,' V one of the notorious and despisable characters of those days 'for an investigation.' It seems, as an out. come, or/rather we might say a preliminary to the outcome, there were charges preferred against the two young gentlemen for obstructing the course of manoeuvers, or whatever way it was put, of the military, and the ones in authority set about to further heap indignity and insult." The two youfcg men who were "held up" by the colored soldiers were two men who in the years gone have been well known to all the peo, ; V XT pie of this community, Messrs. Thomas Butler and Henry Getzen, one of them has been called to that land from whence no traveler returns, and the other one is still with ns in the flesh and highly regarded by all who know him as being one of our staunch citizens. Mr. Tom Butler dk 1 some years back. Judge Henry Getzen lives at this time in his home in North Augusta not very far distant from the scene of the tragedy enacted forty three years ago on the streets of the historic old town of Hamburg. . Gen. M. C. Butler was employed by the father of Mr. Tom Butler to act in the trial. The day of the trial came and the colored captain, Doc. Rivers was the first witness to be called. Rivers became so insolent in his manner that he was threatened with arrest for contempt of court. Whether the arrest was actually made "deponent is at this time unable to say," but 'the whole affair caused such another stir as had not been known for a good long time, and the court was adjourned "until four o'clock in the afternoon." At the convening of the adjourned session of the honorable (?) court, (God save &e name!) when Doc Adams was called for, there was no response to the call, and it developed that he with his company 01 soldiers (?) was up the street some distance and he refused to respond. . Gen. Butler in addressing the court, declared that such a state of affairs as had been going on had "existed long enough," and he demanded in no uncertain terms the disarming of ^ the colored soldiers. The answer of the negroes when called on to give up their arms, was that they would not, and that they intended to fight, may be, but it turned out different from their intentions. The darkies .entrenched themselves in the old brick building known as the Sibly building in Hamburg. The house is standing today and gives mute evidence of the struggle on that memorable day in July, 1876, the scars left by the impact of cannon balls on the masonry of 'the buiulding are plainly discernible at this time. The first white man killed in the melee was a young man by the name of T. Mackev Meriwether. At just about 8 o'clock, according to account in the old paper, he was struck in the head by a minnie ball and died instantly. At the- time he was standing beneath the trestle of the old South Carolina railroad bridge, and it was from that point, as I understand it, that the white mpn in th? aveneine nartv made their deadly assault upon the negroes. The trial above referred to took place in a house just on the upper side of the embankment on the Carolina side of the Center street | bridge. Not very many weeks elapsed after the Hamburg riot before the affair known as the EUenton riot occurred. In that skirmish were men who are well known among us today.?Henry F.

On the use of good common sense in our 1919 farm and garden operations, depends prosperity or our "going broke." Even at present high prices no one can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy food and grain at present prices from supply merchant on credit, and make money. Food and grain are higher in proportion than are present cotton prices. It's a time above all others to play safe; to produce all possible food, grain and forage supplies on your owe acres; to cut down the store bill. A good piece of garden ground, rightly planted, rightly tended and kept planted the year round, can be made to furnish nearly half your living. It will save you more money than you made on the best two or three acres of cotton you ever grew! Hastings' 1919 Seed Book tells all about the right kind of a money saving garden and the vegetables to put in it. It tells about the farm crops as well and shows you the clear road to real and regular farm prosperity, 't's Free. Send for it today to H - J.
