Aa (or that I have nothing to conceal about the Hamburg riot. I told the Republicans In the senate that we had to shoot negroes to get relief from the galling tyranny to which we had been subjected and, while my utterances were used in the Republican, campaign book for 1909, 1 think my very boldness and the frankness with which 1 explain ed conditions did more to enlighten and disarm the fanatics than any thing else I could have said. Even Senator Hoar was so Impressed that he became my warm personal friend. Because of the potent Influence In -grousing the white men of the State to their duty, I shall give you the story of the Hamburg riot in full, not dealing at this time' with the two Ned Tennant riots and the Bilan ton riot. The third of these disturbances or riots occurred In Hamburg In July, 187f, and this tragic episode In the tiruggle for white supremacy caused more widespread comment through out the north and was more far reaching In its Influence upon the fortunes of the white people of South Carolina than anything of the kind which ever Occurred In the State Congress appointed an Investigation committee to take testimony and the bloody shirt was waved by the northern press and politicians from one end of the country to the other The two preceding disturbances, of which I have spoken, while causing . gnat encltement ai|d uneasiness had resulted In no blood shed other than the wounding of two negroes, near Dr. McKIe's, but the Hamburg Ttot caused the death of seven ne- i gross and one white man. while two negroes and another white man were seriously wounded. The cause of the trouble, as In the two Ned Tennant riots, was the ne gro milftia. The town of Hamburg, opposite the city of Augusta, and thlrtfen miles below where 1 was born and reared and was then ilv- Ing, had been a prosperous mart of trade between 1840 and 1860. At one time It had a population of be tween 1,000 and 4,000 and did an Immense business with the South Carolina planters . Owing to Its liability to overflow by the Savannah river It had begun to decline and at the time of which I write It was occupied almost entirely by negroes. Xhh white population consisted of a few families. The number of stores was small. The negro population In H7f probably numbered 1,200 and It had become an harbor of refuge for all of the cow thieves, cotton thieves, house burners, and other types of criminals among the negroes. Owipg to the fact that the municipal government was com posed of negroes, the town marshal was a negro. Gen. Prince R. Rivers, an ex-Unlon soldier, commander of the negro militia, State Senator from Aiken county and Trial Justice, lived there and the negroes were exceed ingly Insolent and It was dangerous ” for white men to go through the kwa unless they were well armed, (egro militia company of about indred men Butler, whose plaatatifo lay above Hamburg and who ha* a great deal of trouble with negro thieves and was In every way a very psgnadous man, hurridd to Jthe trial justice and swore out a warrant for Adams for obstructing the highway. The trial was set for the succeed ing Saturday, July «d The Incident was noised about all over the coun- ‘lea of Edgefield and Aiken In a very little while. It had been the set tled purpose of the leading white men of Edgefield to seise the first opportunity that the negroes might TMTer them to provoke a not and inch the negroes a lesson, as It was generally beltaved that nothing but bloodshed and a good deal of it could so well answer the pbrpbie of re- ttig - State from negro and carpet bag rule. Mr. Robert Butler sent to Edgefield for Oen. M. C. Mronr and r>?rv..**. « son *».u prose cute Adams at the trial. Col. A. P. Butler, the captain of the Sweet water Sabre Club, summoned our company to meet at Summer Hill, three miles from Hamburg at 12 o’clock. It was our purpose to at tend the trial to see that young Butler had protection and, If any opportunity offered, to set the ball rolling, and If one did not offer, we were to make one. We did not go In uniform and were expressly ordered to leave our rifles and car bines so that when assembled we were only armed, with pistols. Va rlous schemes were presented and dircussed but nothing definite was arranged except that we would go to Hamburg In a body at 4 o’clock, the time for the trial and see what would turn up. The fact, however, that we had assembled was made known to Prince Rivers and when the company reached Hamburg we were Informed that the trial had been postponed and It appeared for a while that all of our trouble and pains as well as the schemes we had formulated would come to naught. Dock Adams had assembled his company In the armory of the Sibley building, a two-story brick structure on the corner of Main and River streets. General Rivers had disappeared from town There was much talking and plan nlng among the leaders, the two Rut lers and others of the leading cltl zens. At about 6 o’clock It was de- ■Mded that the demand should be made of Dock Adamms to surrender his guns, and notice to that effecl was sent him by Oen. M. C. Butler with the further Information that he had shown that the guns were a menace to peace and good orde and that- the whites having lost al patience were resolved to put an end to his outrageous and Insolen conduct. When “the demand was made he promptly and peremptorlal ly refused. He was then told that we would take them. When the sun was about half an hour high the little band of white men, num !>erlng about seventy In all, of whom forty-five belonged to the 8w»**t water Sabre Club, rode down Main street towards the armory and wheeling Into a cross street we np nroached the river and hn’.led the street which was or itpled by the trestle of the C. C. and A rail road, now the Southern railway The Sibley building was on the southwest corner of the square. We dismounted In regular cavalry faah Ion and linked bridles. All of the disengaged men lined up. Then the order came, “All men having car bines or rifles step five paces to the fronf.’' Only live responded, was now shown how great a mistake had been made in ordering the rifles left at home. The purpose of that order is easy to understand. We did not wish It to appear that we had come to Hamburg with malice aforethought, but merely as specla tors at the Butler trial. Events had shaped themselves so that the pur pose of compelling the surrendOg of the arms by the negroes once for there was no time to make new paratlons. S^lxty white men ( others were detailed to take ca the horses) were about to 100 negroes who were ar the most approved army was detailed along with Pierce Bat ter and Janies McKle and one other whoee nape I forget, and placed in position at the northwest corner of the square directly In the rear of the Sibley buildJng. The square, I will state, was a small one, with sides probably seventy-five yards long. The entrance to the second story of the Sibley building where the negroes were In hiding, was by a pair of steps running up on the outside from Main -street to a land ing In front of the door on the we»t side. f The sun was Jtlst setting when or ders were given to the squad at the bridge abutment to begin firing on the building. The other whites were stationed up and down the sidewalks -on-The northere-and.^^^ ^ 0 . 0 f. the square. w^ the we , tern .ide bullets appeared to have taken ef fect. Fear lent speed to his flight and the crack of the pistols, some forty or fifty of which must have been fired at him, sounded like so many pop-guns. Suddenly the loud reprot of a shotgun rang out and Cook tumbled In a heap almost turn ing a somersault. Pierce Butler and I, hearing that It was Cook that had been killed, had the curiosity to leave our posts and walk down to where he was lying and as the shad ows made It somewhat doubtful. Pierce struck a match and being very familiar with Cook’s face, re marked with satisfaction, "Tes. trs Cook.” This negro was more hated by the whites of the surrounding He disappeared, whether by death or fright, I go not know. After the election of 1*7* 1 never heard of him again. It was now after midnight and the moon high in the heavons looked down peacefully on the deserted town and dead negroes, whose lives j had been offered up as a sacrifice to the fanatical teachings and fiend ish hate of those who sought to sub stitute the rule of the African for that of the Caucasion In South Car olina. The party with which I left Ham- burg was the last to leave the place. We got our borses and wben we ap proached the outskirts of the town we stopped at the famous Sg>oui 3*as left unguarded. As both sides were using breech-loading guns not withstanding only five white men were doing any shooting, the fusllade of shots was very rapid. The armory had five windows and the negroes were firing from these, but most of the shots must have been fired while they were squatted below the win dow sills and their guns were elevat ed as there was little or no signs of where the bullets went. The marks of the bullets on the sand stone window sills are still to be seen though filled up level with cement The noise of the battle, If It may be termed one, was of course heard In Augusta and soon a considerable body of men gathered on the Geor gia bank, but as some stray bullets from the negroes' rifles at the win dows gave them notice that they were In danger, they very soon re tired out of sight. However, it was not long after dark before men be longing to the military organizations In Augusta and others began to pour across the bridge with arms to take part In the fray. The square on which the Sibley building stood had two or three other stories ou the Main street side. The old bank building was on .the southeastern corner and there were several small wooden shanties on other pans of the square. As soon as darkness fell the whites began to search all of these buildings and very shortly a negro man was discovered In hid ing. He was dragged out while •quailing at the top of his voice through fright. He was shot by some one who In the excitement and anger forgot himself and though not seriously wounded his screams and cries resopnded so as to be heard for half a mile around Just al>out this time we were all shocked and enraged by the news from the bridge abutment that Mc Kle MeW wether, the brave young ■mw whny exchange of arms with his father. I have menUomd. TiiiT been killed. There has always been some mystery about his death. He along with the other four riflemen, had been firing at the windows w hen his brain was pierced by a bail which entered at the top of his head. It was never known whether he was shot from above by some one who crosaed the bridge or was struck by a ball from the armory which hit some piece of Iron of iron and glanc ed downward. If the white men were determined when they began that bloody business, this sad and unexpected death added ten-fold fury to their feelings The men who were holding the horses had hitched them all by this time in a vacant lot and without orders from anyone and apparently without plan they joined In. As soon as It was en tirely dark the negroes in the armory took advantage of the opportunity to make their escape down the steps of which I have spoken and to flee up the river. Some of theme were too much frightened to make this attempt and sought concealment in the cellar and other hiding places in the stores. Some of them ripped up the floors and hid under them, whites from Augusta brought /tstr «* a Midst of Plenty. country Ihan atiy. riTfiar ThAtvIdmii of 1 Spring, w hose waters gusned from the race, A large part of his face jthe bluffs back of the town.

Somebody has figured out that the 1 average boy who is dependent upon his parents for a livelihood until he reaches the age of twenty-one years cost them four thousand dollars. On this basis of calculation a brood, for instance, of six boys would represent an outlay of twenty-four thousand dollars by the time they got away from the home roost. The question arises does It pay to raise boys and are there no other crops that wee Id prove more profitable? If a boy turns out to be a cigarette fiend with a breath like a turkey buxxArd and a laugh that would make the untutored donkey feel perfectly at home In his society and with an fin- trammeled and unconquerable desire to avoid work, it is safe to say that that his parents mjgkt have Invested their four thousand dollars at a much letter advantage. But If the boy grows up to manhood with the lesson well learned that wealth and success grow only on bushes waterM by the sweat of one’s brow, the par ents need not begrudge whatever they have spent on him, for he will > a source of Increasing pride and joy to their hearts, and when they x t w old and their hands tremb'e and their legs wabble and their step h* slow and mitering they have two strong arms to lean upon and he'p .btm over ail the rough places th'iy'’ lie in their twilight path.
