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.

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. Saxon in Augusta

Half Your Living:
Without iVior.ey Cost
We are all at a danger point. 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

NOT AN ISOLATED CASE
Many Similar Cases in Bamberg and j
Vicinity.
This Bamiberg woman's story given 1
here is not an isolated case by any
means; week after week, year after
year, our neighbors are telling similar
good news.
Mrs. C. E. Simmons, New Bridge;
St., Bamberg, says: "Several years;
ago my kidneys were in poor, weak:
and unhealthy condition for a long J
time. I suffered awfully. My back I
hurt me so badly that I would some
times have to press my hands upon I
ft to ease iihe pain. The action o! I
my kidneys wasn't right and my
hands and ankles often swelled, i
always felt tired out, depressed and
miserable and ajched all over my j
hod v. This is the way I was suf- j
fering when I started using Doan's
Kidney Pills. I got them from Mack's
Drug Store and they brought me re- j
lief from the start. In a short while,
they rid "me of all this trouble. Every
time I hear anyone complain of then
kidneys now I adivise them to use
Doan's Kidney Pills."

simply ask for a kidney remedy?get
