THE HACK LIINE IK
ANT I BELUM DAYS, ETC.
(By Uncle .Josh.)
As the public began to apj^reciate
the Columbia. Lexington, Lecsvllle,
Batcsburg and Saluda Bus Line, It
was to be regretted that the owners
found it lacking of the necessary pat- :
ronage to guarantee its continuance,
and, therefore, had to discontinue the
same, since which the local and public
have crroatlv missed its convon
I fence..
This lino carried us far back, and
reminded us of the old Stage Line
ran in anti-belum days and before
railroad facilities, which had hacks of
the old Western style with long boob
behind, carrying the baggage for passengers.
The hacks would accommodate
as muny as 6 or 3 passengers and
their trunks. The line ran from Augusta
via lJdgcficld. Wards, Leesville
and Lexington to Columbia, and was
drawn by front two to four horses,
making regular dally trips.
There were stations at various
places along the line, from four to six
miles apart, where fresh horses were
ready in harness waiting for tlio
change, and but little time was consumed
in making the change, and
they were making fast time, with I*.
S. Mail and passengers, horses often
in a live trot, for the end of destination.
I We remember on the route were
stations at Warils. Lecsvllle, Mr. 1).
Shealy's, Jim Jlnllman's or Alewiiie's,
The Hayer' Place, Mrs. Itawl's. three
miles above I.exnigton, Lexington,
Mrs. Nancy Tarrer's, Joel C'orley's,
the Sycamore (Sharpe's), Mrs. Ramiek's.
Mrs. Matilda .loyner's, Clark's?
Columbia. The hack remaining over
night in Columbia and early in the
morning would return for Augusta.
Reuben llarr.uia was postmaster at
Lexington for? over forty years, consetiuently,
his boys, were of great help,
especially Marion lj.. and Godfrey M.,
who were rear- d in the service ot the
post office, as - b-rkr and assistants,
' 'lie hack driver carrhd a tin horn !
or f> feet in length, which had a powerful
keen sound. On arrival at tht
hill, beyond the factory, coming from
Columbia, it was blown to nntifltaMH
to have the mail sacks locked HsB
I ready bv the time the stage nr^BHE
at the office door. At the appi^EjS
of the village coining from Aug^HSa
this same horn was sounded uI^BmE

"Cor the same purpose. At the ^E$3
time, the driver gave extra tnotHme
as many passengers as he hud^HBfl|
