Moca-\\nsined feet pressed the soil over which the commerce of the city now passes\\nand the savage war-whoop resounded a;ong the banks of the Savannah.\\nThe town was laid out in the year 1735, under authority from the govern-\\nment of Great Britain, and in the following year a British garrison was\\nstationed in the place. In a short time the embryo city became a place of\\nconsiderable importance as a trading settlement. A frontier outpost, it\\nwas the resort lor scouts, and trappers and Indian traders, who bartered\\nwith the savages. The annual fair of these traders was held every spring,\\nand to it the tribes resorted in great numbers. It is computed that over two\\nthousand pack horses aed six hundred men visited the place annually. It\\nwent through the various phases incident to a picneer settlement until the\\ncommencement of the Revolution. The town was the theatre of a severe\\nbattle in 1780, wlien Col. Elijah Clarke made an unsuccessful attempt to\\ntake the post from the British garrison under Col. Brown. An attack\\nmade later in the war by Lee, Pickens and Clarke, resulted in the capture\\nof the place with the troops and their commander. One of the means used\\nby the Americaus to effect this result w^as a tall tower of logs, which over-\\nlooked the fort and enabled the besiegers to fire down on the besieged. This\\ntower was located near where Broad and Lincoln streets now intersect. A\\ncannon ball used by the Americans was found imbedded in the earth close\\nto where the tower was erected, only a few years since. Three of the\\ncannon that were mounted on Fort Cornwallis, the principal British work,\\nare still in existence. One is used as a corner post at the intersection of\\nReynolds and Jackson streets, another does duty as a tombstone over the\\ngrave of a revolutionary soldier in the City Cemetery, and the third is in the\\npossession of the Washington Artillery, mounted and in active use by that", "height": "3818", "width": "2441", "jp2-path": "handbookofaugust00maxw_0009.jp2"}, "10": {"fulltext": "amaiiitMM I II I itiii t\\nThe Hand Book of Augusta\\ncorps. Augusta emerged from her baptism of fire, and still in embryo,\\njogged along through the eighteenth century and into the nineteenth. The\\nmembers oi the first council were George Walker, James Pearce, Robert\\nCresswell, Andrew Tunis, Isaac Herbert and William Longstreet. Imme-\\ndiately after their election they met at the house of Mr. Nathaniel Durkee\\nand chose Thomas Gumming, as Intendant, and Jf)seph Hutchinson, Clerk.\\nIn the fall of 1776 there were not more than forty or fifty houses in\\nAugusta, most of them built of logs. The river was then crossed by a ferry\\nboat owned by a Mr. Hicks. Harrisburg was a plantation, but houses\\nwere raised there about 1794 Soon after the termination of the Revolution\\npeople flocked here in scores. In 1805 there were no buildings west of\\nCampbell street. Around the site of the upper market was a cluster of\\nhouses called Springfield. The lower part of the town was then the most\\npopulous and fashionable. Ashton s Retreat, lower part of Broad street,\\nwas the resort for the fashionables of the day. The public houses were\\nthe Eagle Tavern, on Reynolds street, and the City Hotel, where DeGraaf s\\nfurniture establishment is now located. There were no warehouses for the\\nreception of cotton at this period. Each purchaser of cotton weighed it\\nbefore hi3 own door, where it remained, piled up between the trees on the\\nsidewalks, until sent off in boats. Barter was then much in vogue and the\\nproportion of the amount in goods v/hich the seller would take, would\\nfrequently control the price of the article sold. At three or four gin houses\\nin the town much of the cotton raised in the vicinity and in Burke was\\nginned. One of these was near the corner ot Broad and Washington streets.\\nThe old court house was on the river bank, and here the Legislature of\\nGeorgia assembled for some years, when Augusta was the capital of the\\nStare. In 1785 Judge Walton, in his address to the jury, mentions that the\\nLegislature is soon to assemble iu Augusta and asks where they are to sit,\\nsince thcire are no public buildings. It is probable from this, that the court\\nhouse that existed previously to that period, was destroyed during the war.\\nOn the evening of April 3d, 1829, the great fire occurred. About 3\\no clock in the afternoon of that day tlames were discovered bursting from\\nthe roofs of houses immediately in the rear of McMullin s buildings, situated\\non the south side of Broad street, about six doors above Centre. The\\nhouses on Broad street were soon on fire, and the wind blowing almost a\\ntornado from west to northwest, with frequent gusts from every quarter\\nof the compass, very soon blew the fire in floating flakes to parts of the\\ncity distant at least three or four squares from the scene. In the compass\\nof the conflagration there were between ten and eleven squares, mostly well\\nbuilt, and many of them stocked with dry goods and groceries, which last\\nwere consumed as readily in the middle of the street, whither they were\\nremoved, as if they had been permitted to remain in the burning stores.\\nThe lower market house, a commodious and elegant building, was burned\\nat an early stage of the conflagration. A vast quantity of corn was destroy-\\ned. The number of houses burned was estimated at from four to five", "height": "3777", "width": "2414", "jp2-path": "handbookofaugust00maxw_0010.jp2"}, "11": {"fulltext": "Heb Past History.\\n5\\nhuDdred, and the total loss at one million dollars. A third part of the town\\nwas in ashes. Hamburg became comparatively densely populated in conse-\\nquence of the fire, many of the sufferers flocking to that place.

In many instances\\npeople took the risk of purchasing and made small fortunes in consequence,\\nas Sherman s troops gave Augusta the go-by. After the war the city settled\\ndown and endeavored to make the best it could of the situation. For some\\ntime it was under control of a military mayor and council, appointed by\\nGen. Pope, but in 1868, when an election was held, Hon. Henry F.

Since that day of deliverance the city\\nhas been in the hands of her own people and has been enjoying good gov-\\nernment, quiet and prosperity. Such, in brief, is a history of the beautiful\\nFountain City, which, with its broad avenues, its magnificent arcades of\\nlive oaks and elms, its handsome buildings and its healthy climate, is the\\npride of its own people and the admiration of strangers.\\nIt is probable that at the beginning of the century Augusta did not\\ncontain more than 2,000 people. In 1845 a census, taken by the city\\nauthorities, showed a population of 7,503\u00e2\u0080\u00943,948 whites and 3,554 colored.\\nAnother census in 1850 gives a total of 12,104. The United States census\\nof 1860 made the total number of inhabitants 12,493. The census of 1870\\ngave us 15,389, but a city census of 1872 placed the number at 19,985.\\nAnother census in 1878 gave a result of 23,768 whites 15,136, colored\\n8,632. The publishers of this work are satisfied that the present population\\nof the city and the adjoining suburbs is not less than 30,000.\\nGeneral Washington visited Augusta on the 18th of May, 1791. Gov.\\nTelfair acted as host on the occasion and every preparation was made to\\nreceive the Father of his Country.

Th^\\ndimensions were 40 feet surface width, 20 feet bottom, and 5 feet deep,\\naffording a total mechanical effect of about 600 horse powers.\\nIt soon became evident that the canal was too small to supply the\\ndemand for power, and the increasing demand for fire, doriK^stic and other\\npurposes, consequent upon the growth of the city. Temporary expedients\\nwere devised and carried into effect from time to time in order to increase\\nthe supply, and after the banks ol the canal had been raised so as to furnish\\n7 feet depth of water, its ultimate capacity was reached, and yet the\\nquantity furnished was entirely inadequate to supply the demand.\\nUnder these circumstances the enlargement of the canal to its present\\ndimensions was decided upon by the City Council, and in March, 1872, the\\nwork was commenced, and in July, 1875, was completed.\\nThe dimensions and capacity of the canal are as follows Length of\\nmain canal or first level, 7 miles, and including second and third levels 9", "height": "3818", "width": "2441", "jp2-path": "handbookofaugust00maxw_0019.jp2"}, "20": {"fulltext": "14 The Hand Boob: of Augusta\\nmiles.

Each loom put up adds to her im-\\nportance, and it is, therefore, not to be wondered ar that her citizens look\\nwith interest to every new enterprise. People outside are fond of declar-\\ning that Augusta is slow; that she lacks energy and go-aheadativeness,\\ncharacteristics so eminently belonging to the American. As an answer to\\nall this, without going further, we point to the Enterprise Factory as a\\npractical refutation. On the tenth day of March, 1877, a manufacturing\\ncompany was organized in this city, with a capital of one hundred and tifty\\nthousand dollars, under the title of the Enterprise Manufacturing Company,\\nhaving in view the manufacture of cotton goods. Major Geo. T. Jackson,\\na prominent and enterprising citizen of Augusta, was elected President, and\\nmeasures were at once set on foot to erect a factory building. The mil^\\nproperty of Geo. T. Jackson Co., kuowu as the Granite Mills, was pur-\\nchased by the company as a site for the new factory. An excellent move\\nwas made in the very beginning by engaging the services of Mr. J. S.\\nDavis, of Holyoke, Mass., as architect and superintendent. Mr. Davis is a\\ngentleman of extensive experience, and has had chai ge of a number of fac-\\ntories in Massachusetts. The company certainly could not have made a\\nbetter selection for superintendent. Mr. Davis drew the plan for the new\\nbuilding and superintended its erection. The first bricks for the new fac-\\ntory were laid on the 22d of March, but work was not commenced in earn-\\nest until the 1st of April. The job was pushed rupidl} forward by Mr.\\nWellington, who had cnarge of the carpenter work, and Mr. Judd, who\\nwas in charge of the masonry department. The factory is an exceedingly\\nhandsome structure, and retlects much credit upon the company. The\\nwell known Granite Mill, which has long been a kndmark. and the brick\\naddition which was made a few years ago, have been preserved intact, and\\nform a part of the factory. The new building forma a right angle with the\\nold mill, and extends toward Greene street. The old building is four sto-\\nries in height, and is 120 feet long b} 40 wide.

HICKMAN ON THE SUBJECT.\\nIn all the country. North or South, there has been no more successful\\nenteiprise than the Graniteville Factory under the management of Mr. H.\\nH. Hickman, as President. Mr. Hickman is a close observer and shrewd\\nbusicess man and he-never speaks unless he has the facts and figures before\\nhim upon which to base his assertions. What he has to say, therefore,\\nmust necessarily have much weight.\\nMr. Hickman, in response to a request, proceeded to state some facts in\\nregard to the subject under consideration which threw considerable light\\nupon it. In reference to cotton manufactories, Mr. Hickman said there\\ncould be no comparison between the North and South. The Soutli will\\neventually drive the North out of the market in brown goods, standard\\nsheetings and shirtings. It is practically doing it now. The North is\\nbuilding no new mills for the manufacture of these gooods. When North-\\nern mills were com]}elled to sell their goods at cost he could sell at a fair\\nprofit. He had no commissions to pay agents to buy cotton as Northern\\nmills did, because he bought it himself, more than half of it right at the\\nmill. Getting the cotton right here, he had, of course, no freight to pay. as\\nwas the case with Northern mills, and he was satisfied that he could buy\\ncotton to a better advantage than the agents of those mills in fact he was\\nassured that he made a half a cent a pound in this way. He could get a\\nplenty of white labor and cheaper than Northern mills could. His opera-\\ntives could live one-half the expense of those at the North.

I have been President of the\\nLangley Manufacturtng Company of South Carolina, since its organization\\nin 1870, and have had no difficulty in getting as good and reliable white\\nlabor as there is in New England, and who cheerfully work eleven hours\\nper day, and could obtain more if we had any use for th(im, and many of\\nthem are Southern born and have learned their trade in our own mill. He\\nchallenges any mill in New England to show as great a production of goods\\nper loom and yarn per spindle (on the same style of goods) or a cheaper\\ncost of manufacturing. He concludes by saying that the South has the best\\nclimate for manufacturing the water power, the cotton, the men and the\\nwomen necessary to successful manufacturing.

The\\nfounder of the church was Rev. Dr. V^ni. T. Brantley, Sr., who at the time\\nof its organization, 1819, was the Rector of the Richmond Academy, on\\nTelfair street. Its constituent members numbered only twenty, and in this\\nlittle band there were but one or two persons who were able to do anything\\nfor the support of the church. The lot on which the church stands was\\npurchased by Dr. Brantley on his own responsibility for $1,500. The edi-\\nfice was erected at a cost of $22,000, a considerable portion of it having\\nbeen collected by its pastor from Baptists in other parts of the State.\\nIn 1826 the church had grown so much in numbers and material prosperi-\\nty\u00e2\u0080\u0094that it was enabled to pay a salary of $1,200. This was the income of\\nRev. James Shann, who became Dr. Brantley s successor. He served the\\nchurch three years and then resigned to become professor of Ancient\\nLanguages in the University of Georgia. The third pastor was Rev. Chas.\\nD. Mallary. During his ministry the church numbered one hundred and\\ntwenty members. He was succeeded after a ministry of five years by Rev.\\nW. J.

The only clergyman named as hav-\\ning charge of the parish after this time is the Rev. Mr. Boyd, who gener-\\nally officiated here for some ten years, when he removed to Natchez or New\\nOrleans. In the al)sence of a titled rector, the church was open to all de-\\nnominations of Christians, and the Episcopalians, as a Christian society,\\nbeing unable to supp( rt their own mode of worship, made no show of life\\nfor many years.\\nIn December, 1816, certain persons were incorporated by the Legislature\\nas the Trustees of the Protestant Episcopal Society of the City of Au-\\ngusta and County of Richmond.

Its origin, however, dates back to the Colonial Government,\\nwhen large tracts of land were set apart in each parish for educational pur-\\nposes, and the establishment of churches, under the control of Trustees ap-\\npointed by the Crown. A large building on the ])ubTic lot, which embraced\\nthat portion of the town extending from Washington to Mcintosh streets,\\nond on which the Church of St. Paul now stands, was existing at that time,\\nand was u.sed by the Truetees as an Academy, with two smaller or tenement\\nhouses for the teachers, until a new structure should be erected.\\nThis building must have been erected during or preceding the war, proba-\\nbly ihe latter, as this portion of Augusta was the scene of some sanguinary\\nconflicts about the forts and entrenchments there erected.\\nThe Kichmond Academy appears to be the oldest incorjiorated institution\\nof learning in the United States, with but four exceptions: Harvard, of\\nMassachusetts; William and Mary, of Virginia; Yale, of Connecticut, and\\nPrinceton, of New Jersey. By the act of incorporation, a Board of Tru.s-\\ntees, or Commissioners, for the Richmond Academy and town of Augusta,\\nwere created, who were required to erect a church and a building for an\\nAcademy.

There was absolutely\\nno system of education, and every school had a different set of text books.\\nNow this is all changed. The- system administered by the Board works\\nadmirably, the schools are prospering, and pay institutions, with the excep-\\ntion of the Richmond Academy, have disappeared. Rich and poor, high\\nand low, attend and what little prejudice exists in the minds of a few, is\\nrapidly passing away. The Board has prescribed a complete course of\\nstudy for the schools. The primary school course embraces three years,\\nthe intermediate two, the grammar two and the high school three, making\\nten years in all.\\nThe Houghton Institute, an elymosynary institution, founded by Mr.\\nHoughton, is a graded school from the primary to the high school. It is\\nunder the control of the Qity Council, whi(;h elects the teachers annually.\\nTuition free. The roll of pupils contains about three hundred names on an\\naverage.\\nThe St. Mary s Academy and Sacred Heart Academy, schools for girls,\\nare in charge of the Sisters of Mercy. The attendance is excellent at each.\\nSt. Patrick s school is controlled by the Christian Brothers, and has a\\ndaily average attendance of about three hundred.
