WEDNESDAY, JULY 1,189?. A Story About Hamburg S. C. A .Town That Wag Built ly a Piqued Man and Was Killed hy its Unenterprising Citizens. from the Atlanta Journal. "The dead towns of Georgia" have been the subject of a work of great in? terest tod nnusual merit, bot as far as M knpwo, "the dead towns of Sooth - Carolina' hate not been touched apo?. Mr. William C. Sibley, president of the Sibley mills, of Angosta, and a chi? ten that the Kle ct rio City prizes as one of tts most valued, was in Atlanta Tbora?ay night. He was in a reminiscent strain, and fold me some faots about the history of Hambarg, the desolated city now popu? lated by from one hundred to one hun - ? dred and fifty lazy, vagrant negroes just across the river fren Augusta. Be knew it when it was tbe center of commerce for four States, when hun - dreds upon hundreds of wagons each 6ay from Upper Georgia, upper and lower Sooth Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee, would roil into its streets loaded down with anieles of com? merce. Along in the early thirties Augusta .had an old German citizen by the name of Schultz. The city was at that time a trading center for hundreds of miles of the surrounding country. Sbultz was one of its wealthiest citizens. He erected and owned three brick buildings on the north side of Broad street, just {?dow the moonment, whioh are stand? ing until this day. -They were known as the Bri?6e t ^k building?, because, presentably, .re was a bank located there which % ?a ron by old man Schultz and Mc? Kinney. Sbultz also owned the bridge that spanned the Savannah and con? nected Georgia and South Carolina. The bank railed, and as it had owed wsoney to Augusta, through some law .wit, the city managed to get possession . of the bridge This angered Schultz, and in a fit of pique he vowed that he would kill Augusta's trade and build up Ham? borg. He weat before the South Caro? lina Legislature, and on the strength of his representations of the feasibility of . establishing direct trade between Ham? borg, S C., and Hamburg, Germany, borrowed $50,000. This was the year '32, and in one night, where the night before there ?as a howling wilderness. Schultz had mp the fronts of a row of houses. It was the terminus of the South Carolina .railroad, the first railroad of a hundred ?iles in length that the world ever new, aad was on the side of the Savan? nah river where the channel was the (deepest. iHambnr^g^rew to bethe most impor? tant -trading (town in interior Sooth (Carolina, and its business continually increased till 1848. When I first went there," said Mr. Sibley, "Hamburg re? ceived 70.000 bales of cotton, the re? markable part of which was that 60,000 of them were brought in on wagons. "Bondreds of thousands of barrels of ?jflour from upper Sooth Carolina were 'hauled there and millions of pounds of bacon from Knoxville and ail over j ?ast Tee ci es pee came to this little Caro? lina trading town on wagons. .'Toshow yon what a town Hamburg ?-vas at that time," Mr. Sibley courin ned, - "the city built a plank road from Hatn I borg to Edge field, a distance of twenty six miles. Along about November and .December the streets would be so crowded with the wagons of the country people from four States that frequently people would have to walk four or five blocks before finding a place to eross. * 4 On the outskirts of the city the wagoners would strike their tents, and frequently there would be as many as five or six hundred of them in camp at a time. The road going and -coming for a distance of five or six miles #ould literally be jammed up with wagons., tendering it almost impossible to make OSOSA than a ?nile au boar "Old ?iiul^ wa? a genius, said Mr. Sibley, smilingly, "and like a good many other men of profound brain, V?JsU&'l pay his debts. He was the mASi plausible of talkers and the most Mrdsstxious of workers. He had Ham? burg laid out in beautiful streets, and Schultz's Hill was a park of great beauty, **A great many of these improve? ments were made with the $B0?0O which Sbultz borrowed {ba the South Carolina Legislature, and whiefe, by the graf, ?us aes&r paid back. Sbultz eaxse very near owing everybody be came io contact with and invariably failed to pay them. One day he had about twenty 2rb>b#ten at work in front o? f?s fiiore and oue of ?is creditors told hit?, 'Hr. Schultz, I don'c 6ee how you ?an afford to hire these men, when you owe me money, and everybody else.* *. 'Well, s{r.* said the German, '? sacrifice my private iuterests to the pub? lic good-' "There were two causes for Ham? burg's downfall One of them was t: e building of the Greenville sud Colum? bia railroad and the other the cutting of the first Augusta ca oil. "lt was the first intention of the railroad builders to make Hamburg one of the termini of the railroad, and they offered to do so if Hamburg would make a subscription of $50,000. but in those days there was a great prejudice against railroad*, and the citizens of Hamburg were afraid that it would take away their great wagon trade, so the road was built to Greenville, and fully one-half of Hamburg's trade taken ?way. "Then Augusta got Hamburg's cot? ton that used to come from up the river because coming down the canal took away the great danger of shooting the rapids. Hamburg gradually grew from bad to worse and finally, about the time of the war, its sole population was com? posed of n?gres." Now, it is nothing but almost a howl? ing wilderue?*. Where once the busy merchant sold his wares a jazy negro skulks; where fine residences that beau? tiful Southern women graced once stood U3W negro ramsbackles, with dirty pickaninnies playing on the porch, are to be seen. Tue well kept streets are a mass of weeds, and Schultz's beauti? ful park, under whose trees many a beautiful tale of love has be?n told, is now 'be resort of negro pick nicke rs. The town has been through riots and fires, snd no house that bas burned up or blown down bas ever beeo replaced. Hamburg is tin ely an evidence of ?hst narrow-minded illiberal citizens can do. It? now serves but one purpose, It is the bat tia-g round for game cocks and bull doga> J. S. C. How tcTcook Hams, A correspondent of^be Richmond Dispatch writes from Smithfield, Va., as follows as the-best method of cook* fcg too?n hams:. ??$$? following directions were Stowed by a citizen of this town more than one hundred and twenty years ago, and have been continued in the families of his lineal decend ant8 to the present (the fourth gener? ation: Pnt a Smithfield ham of eigh? teen pounds into a kettle of cold water before it is placed on the stove or over the fire, and let it remain therein for three hours. From the time water begins to boil, for each addi? tional po?nd of the weight of the ham the boiling most be prolonged for thirty minutes. This method is prac? ticed by most of our citizens, and is deemed the best as from a gustatory as a sanitary, standpoint." To this the Norfolk Landmark adds: "If the :ham is two years old or over it j should be soaked alt day in wai m water before putting it on to cook. Some persons bury the old ham in moist earth for twenty-four hours as a preparation for boiling. It is little short of downright sin to sacrifice a good, well cured ham,to the igno rance or negligence of a trifling cook." - - i ? - Iie?lity for Me.

Woman, ?as been asking its readers, as A -^prize" conundrum, "Is a husband worth hav? ing?'' Since the question has arisea it is satisfactory to note ?that the three win? cing correspondents ail answer in the affirmative. Being marri**!, also, they speak with connaissance de cause. Ia fnat, the great majority of answers quot? ed more, or less confidently pronounce that-tafciftg one thing with another, sub? ject to exceptions, remembering also how society is organized-it is, npon the whole, rather better to nave a husband than not. To teil the truth, the issue ia not en? couraging. As the first prize winner says, ..Tliis momentous question would hay*? been laughed to scorn fifty years ago/' We might put it more strongly all round. Fifty years ago it would hardly have boen safe for a respectable journal to pn> pound the query unless in joke. Twenty years ?ince no ono would have replied seriously. At the point we have reached nobody is nindi surprised: the answers are many and grave, and their purport is by no menus decided. Remembering that women are by na? ture conservative, very .slow to adopt new ideas in others, this hesitating tone seems significant, lt is rather alarming ;:pi>eulat? how the question will be treated ten years iience. Ladies who re? ply fail to grasp tile abstract view, as might be expected. They all declare that a good husband is worth having, and a bad ou? decidedly not. These, how? ever, were not wort ii a question-they speak for themselves. Probably women will be iuf>re logical in the yearatocome; but goodness only knows to what con? clusion more accurate reasoning will bring them.-London Standard. Happy Hoosier*. TC ja.

REASONS FOR PREFERRING THE Pei Mal Life Insurance Co., A. It is an old Quaker Company, establish? ed in 1847. B. It is carefully and conservatively mau aged C. It has a large surplus, ample to guar? antee all engagements. D. Its assets are s curely and profitably invested. E. It offers ample, modern facilities for the transaction of all busiuess. F. Its rates are equitably adjusted: It does Dot jeopardize the security of all contracts by conceding too much under any. G. it has had a wide experience, and "makuig haste slowly," has always cuoi mat.ded th? support and patronage of cautious and discriminating investors. JJ. Ii has no capital stock upon which to .earn dividends. Its business is therefore conducted without this element of txpeose. There is nothing which is safe and desir? able in life insurance, no new and com? mendable feature, that is omitted from the revised forms and plans of this well-tried and enduring institution.
