A. Kennedy, Sr., discussing the proposal made by the Southern Railway company that they change the present passenger train running through Williston to a mixed train, recalled that this line was the first of any length to be built in the world. The history of this Charleston to Augusta railroad is a story that tells of the hardships encountered during the railroad’s pioneering days. Before the institution of slavery became dominant in the Southern States, the people of the South were as enterprising in manufac tures and commerce and in the de velopment of the resources of the country as were the people of other parts of the United States The statistics and the facts go to show that as the institution of slavery grew in strength, the spirit of industrial enterprise diminished. In the day in which it was construct ed, the South Carolina Railway was probably the largest engineering en terprise in the world. At the time it was constructed and put in operation those who had charge of the work had no guide to go by and had to devise the ways and means of rail way construction and operation, at every step of the way. The first grade that was maae out of Charleston was accomplished by driving piles and sawing them off at approximately an even grade. They soon found that it was better to put the road on the ground and make cuts and fills, except at places where the fills would have been very great, and at these places trestles were devised. There is a little book called “In His Service," by the Rev. J. I. Till man, who appears to have been an evangelist who preached' in Geor gia and South Carolina. The book is a sort of autobiographical resume of his work, but occasionally he re lates some experiences that have no reference to his preaching. One of these little quotations relates to the South Carolina Railway as follows: “At Williston, I met Dr. W. W. Smith, who related some interest ing things about the building of the South Carolina railway from Charleston to Augusta, which I learned was the first railway built on this planet. Dr. Smith helped to survey the route and to build" the road. At the first hill they en countered in the construction they stopped and decided they could go no further. This hill was its terminus for years. The first trains wer* run by sails while they were yet not a great distance from Charleston. The road was built on to Aiken, where there was another considerable grade. The cars were let down grade by means of a windlass and ropes and back again by the same contrivance. When completed, it took a week to make the round trip from Charleston to Augusta. The steam engine succeeded sail power. Track walkers went ahead of the engine at the rate of seven miles to each walker. When night came on the whole turn-out would strike fire and camp in the woods. The trains had an engine in the rear as well as in front, the object of the rear engine being to pull the oars back wards as a l reverse lever was not then known. “There were no switches on this primitive railroad, but wooden wedges were used to move the track. Dr. Smith constructed a switch, which was the first one ever used, and operated it ac Williston, where it is in use today. At eighty-seven years of age Dr. Smith still lives in Williston. “This railroad had but one mail bag for the whole route. When a postoffice was reached the bag was emptied and all mail for that sta tion was taken out and the bag was locked and returned to the train. It then resumed the even tenor of its way at the rate of five miles an hour, which was then thought to be considerable speed. It was the custom of the boys who were 1 of h«ot-, ing to leave the train at the post office and take a drive for deer, which were plentiful in that day, and by the time the train would reach the next station here would come the hunters with a deer they had captur ed in the woods. It was understood that when an upgrade was reached that the male passengers were to get out and push and thus help the en gine up the grade. The conductor walked a plank on the outside of the cars in order to collect the fares. “The track was constructed of wooden stringers laid down and flat iron bars nailed down on them. It was a common thing for the cars to run off while rounding a curve. Dr. Smith, to obviate this difficulty, con ceived the idea of lowering the id- side track on a curve. For his trouble in mentioning his idea to the super intendent he received a cursing ‘for being such a fool’. But one day while the superintendent was absent he took the hands and lowered the in side track and on seeing the ears pass over it he saw that his plan would do. The cars were built sharp ended to split the wind.” Dr. Smith is not altogether ac curate about the South Caroline Railway being the first on the planet. It was, however, the first of any great magnitude, it having been suc cessfully completed and profitably operated from Charleston to Ham burg on the Savannah river, a dis tance of about 140 miles. It was the first also to operate steam loco motives, except in an experimental way. During the formulation of the plans for this road the company had under consideration the use of horse power, wind power, by sails, and of steam power. They tried the sails first and then adopted steam. His book makes a record of the fact that Dr. W. W. Smith was the inventor of the first railroad switch that could be thrown by a lever. At a later date, when slavery had be come established, Dr. Smith would not have troubled himself to dpevise a switch, but probably would have made a darkey continue to drive a wooden wedge to shift the rails. A TRIBUTE Linus Wilburn Bedenbaugh October 5, 1882—July 27, 1941 . I quote the words of his pastor, the Rev. H. O. Chambers, of Cen tral Methodist Church, Newberry, S. C.: “He was a member of the Board of Stewards, Chairman of the Adult Division of the Sunday Scnool, member of the Board of Education, member of the Church Choir. My thought of him was of one who was always a hightoned, Christian gen tleman.” I quote also the words of one who through most of his life was closest to him: “He never had a low thought nor did a mean act.” He spent his life as a bank offi cial, and as a public school teacher. In both capacities he was completely faithful and held completely the con fidence of the people. He was, at the time of his death, a member of the faculty of the Newberry high school. Always modest and unassuming, he was, nevertheless, firm in his con victions and outspoken in champion ing high ideals and in working for the welfare of his fellow citizens. He was loyal to his family, a true brother, an affectionate son, a de voted husband. He fought a good fight, he kept the faith. Then the Master called, “Come quickly". He answered the summons. God’s Fingers touched him, and he slept. S. J. Derrick FORMER NEWBERRIAN DIES . IN CHARLOTTE Funeral services for Boyce John Reagin, 63, reitired railway man, who died Thursday afternoon at his home, 427 East Morehead street, Charlotte, after an illness of 18 months, were conducted Friday af ternoon at Charlotte with services from the graveside at Graceland cemetery, Greenville. Mr. Reagin was born December 8, 1877, in Newberry, son of the late Bascom and Emma Mathis Reagin. He was formerly a conductor of the Southern Railway system. He was a member of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, Phalanx lodge. He is survived by a sister-in-law, Mrs. Margaret Reagin of Greenwood. MRS. DORA MILLS Mrs. Dora Mills, 47, died at her home Friday. She had been ill three years. Funeral services were conducted from Bethel church Saturday at 6 p. m. by the Rev. Mr. Kelly. Surviving are her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Fulmer, her husband, Colie Mills, and the following chil dren: Miss Vincent Mills, Miss Loy Mills, Mrs. Bertie Mae Fulmer and Mrs. Ollie Belle Wicker; three broth ers, Olin, Lonnie and Leroy Fulmer; two sisters, Mrs. Lorine Finney and •Mrs. Gussae Yon and ten grand children. The friends of “Bud” Moore will be sorry to learn that he is a patient at the Veteran’s hospital in Colum bia. Not many years ago, the show room of a new house was the kitchen where the builder proudly displayed a built-in tin sink. Today there is no tin in the kitchen. A porcelain sink, built-in cupboards, broom closets, beehive containers for all sorts of kitchen equipment and frequently an automatic refrigerator and a stove are just part of the equipment. The Construction Industry brought all this added convenience and value to your kitchen. But modem planning and lowered cost don t stop in the kitchen. You'll see the handiwork of the Construction Industry in every room. And who is the Construction Industry? It is" all of us—buyer and builder. It is all the men in our town who help to build and remodel our homes, office buildings, factories, roads and bridges. The men who make the loans, put in the plumbing, the electricity, pour the concrete, hammer the nails, rivet the steel. These men of our Construction Industry don't work from a National Blue Print. They operate as individuals, on their own initiative, according to local needs and local opportunity. • That's the way our system of free enterprise works in all American Industry. You work on your free initiative—the way you want to work. And it's bound to help everybody else. That's why the tin sink disappeared. Invest now—in your own home—in your own community.
