One obyec. in building this city, was 10 dircc
/ the traur Of this section of country. TO Charles
ION. This object is already accomplished, al
least i, is considered SO, if wc may judge from,
present appearances aGd from past occurrcn.
ces. And we again ask. what has that great
city OF Charleston done in return for all these
benefits, either for Hamburg or her founder !!
This quraton we asked before, but is nnar-
swered. ifany thing has been done, we should
like to krow!
While some of the citizens Of that once great
city. Augusta, were prosecuting and murder
ing Mr. .Shul,z for upwards Of tineHtythres ytdrs,
and erdeavorine by every meals, 10 crush his
en,eiprizes. and consisn linis 10 poverty. and

minded with folded arrrs in peace. enjoying the
riches gained by his extraordinary works. and
rcaping The fruits o: his talent aud pcrscrer-
ance. without even rendering him aid in any

Augusta over onr l.eaGs-forsetiing too soon
n kind friend; and when we raise orr hand
against ii, we are deridcd with down town

thing light! may it prove too brilliant fo' The
low country editor: nor are VIC so very far
down either; for Hamburg is getting uphill
pretty fnsi-wc stand on our own bottom, and
will be ai the head. However. let us 90 on
n,ii see vino has "bten soh." We say That
Charleston l,as been sold TO Hamburg, and ask
our contemporary how he feels under such sa
very II Charleston has no; heen sold directly
to Hamburg. she owes more gratitude 10 onr
city aud 10 her founder. than she will ever be
able or willing TO discharge.
Mr. ShultZ. IN his memorial 10 the Legisla-
turc Of this State. ia 1921. says: 40, 900 bnles
Of Cotton per annum will be received in Ham,
burg: hesides large aninnn, OF Flonr, Bacon,
Tobacco. &c. Such is The immense trade.
with NIL its profits and advantages. that South
Carolina has been annually conlribntingi io Au-
.gus,n and Savannah. Can you donb, then.
that these cities are hostile. aud win combine
their powers TO crush nc If pussihlc. The Sc.
crer is noSx dvuleed. that j, is pan Of my plan
10 cul of the trade from Savannah, us well rs
Augusta.
