consenting that he should lie under
a very beautiful tree which he had
particularly loved.
There has been a revival of inter-
est in his works and it is to be hoped
that some of his books will not be
long in coming from the press. At
the present time there are none Of
Simms's books in print. He has given
to the south a legendary history. He
has portrayed the Indian in his wars,
love, hate and superstition. He has
preserved the tales of the revolu-
ton and has impaired the love Of
the partisan to every boy and girl
who has read them. One cannot read
him without a deeper realization Of
our woods, our trees, swamps, the
coast country and the mountain
country. And one cannot read him
without a deeper thrill of pride in
the history of our state and draw
the conclusion that none of the origl-
nal states has a broader or more just
foundation for such pride than
South Carolina.

remedy. Results have. not, in our
opinion, multiplied in the same ratio
as the expenditures have. This, we
have pointed out, is because the
commission form of government
has taken hold in Columb bia. With
in the past few years commission af-
ter commission has been added.
Where duties used to be performed
by one man, they are now performed
by half dozen, lessening the in
dividual responsibility, and at the
same time increasing the expenses.
There is no end to this commission
business. When one is esta ablished
it seems to call for two others. Each
board must employ a host of assist
ants, travelling representatives, i'm
ported experts" numbers of secre-
taries and bookkeepers. Thus sal
aries are multiplied, much red tape
is resorted to, and the state is de-
Judged with huge expenditures. The
legislature, we are informed, is over
run occasionally by lobbyists from
the boards and commissions, each in
terested far more in the preservation
of his job than in the welfare Of
South Carolina. We have advocated
in the past, and still advocate, the
doing away of practically all boards
and commissions, and taking new
start with simple and efficient state
government manned by individuals
who can be held individually and
severally responsible for the conduct
of their own duties. AS it is now, re-
sponsibility can scarcely be placed;
the head of the board can lay the
blame to his assistant, the assistant
to the secretary, the secretary to the
bookkeeper, and there you are. 1t
gets nowhere. And it costs money.
When the people cry out against the
downward trend of income and the
upward trend of taxes, the taxes are
lust shifted from the howlers to some
others and the spending goes right
on. 1t is time to readjust things to a
sensible basis.

Sherman now began his march to
the sea. Simms, having a vast IL
brary, moved few of his books to
Columbia; his library was burned at
Woodlands after union lieutenant
had watched the place for three days.
The day after he left a squad came
along and burned the house to the
ground. Simms saw the burning of
Columbia and published a graphic
account of it in his paper-so graphic
that he was ordered to appear before
the military command out of town
for trial.
From Columb bia Simms was able to
help many Confederate soldier to
his home after the surrender at Ap-
pomatox. After the war, his home
burned, his wife dead, his library
gone, and his health greatly impair

Too unimportant to be dignifed
by CHASING as ridiculous, it is only
amusing when a little two-by-four
says Henry Ford would go bankrupt
if the government were to sell him

industry in five minutes than some
of the so-called experts do in year.
Added to Ford's own opinion is that
of Thomas A. Edison, who says
Ford's plans can be carried out sue
cessfully. Yet a man, whose name
we never saw in print before, says
it can't be done. 1t is rather Pc

was the aid that he gave to strug-
Cling southern authors. Woodlands,
his country home, he loved. 1t was
a beautiful spot and Simms loved
the life of country gentleman. He
was fond of horses and had many
thoroughbred ones on his plantation.
He also had his gardens and became
quite an aesthetic landscape garden
er.
War clouds now began to gather
and with them hard times and bitter
griefs came to Simms to accompany
him to his grave. Simms lost his
two small sons both with yellow fever
on the same day. Putting aside this
dreadful blow, Simms threw himself
into politics, writing hundreds of po-
litical letters and lecturing all over
the state of South Carolina. He also
went north on lecture tour. Not
following the advice of his friends
his opening night he gave his views
on slavery and state rights. The
north was in no mood for such views
and all his engagements were can
celled. He said to a friend in New
York, "If it comes to blows between
the north and the south, the south
will crush you as would an egg
Little did he foresee the outcome of
the horrible struggle.
Simms was too old to fight, but he
sent his oldest son, Gilmore. In the
third year of the war he was shocked
by the death of his wife. For days
his reason was despaired of but there
was so much strength in the man
that he pulled through and began
his march again. In 1865 he moved

One hundred years ago the town
of Hamburg, South Carolina, was
thriving place. The city Of Augusta
was then a small and unimportant
town. Hamburg was the mecca for
the business of large portion of this
state. Hamburg strikingly illus
trates the fate that can befall a
town or city. One passes through
Hamburg now on the Southern rail-
way to Augusta, but unless it were
called to ones attention it would
probably not be known when the
town is passed. There are now only
a few shacks standing, and only
some ruins are there to suggest a
once hustling city. When the old
Charleston and Augusta railroad de-
cided to span the Savannah river
with a bridge and enter Augusta, the
doom of Hamburg was spelled. The
fate of Hamburg is recalled by the
following paragraph from the files of
the Charleston Courier Of April 3,
1922: -
''The town of Hamburger contains
upwards of one hundred buildings,
and a steam boat, purchased by Mr..
Schultz, has already gone on third
trip with full freight from Charles
ton. Can it be doubted for moment
that the enterprise of Mr.. S. deserves
the encourag cement of South Caro-
lima? There are certain obstacles to
be removed in the inland navigation
between this place and Savannah.
Wappoo Cut requires to be deepened
and widened and Bulls Cut also.
This could be accomplished in the
ensuing summer with less than S2O,-
600 and Mr.. S. would contract to
have it done. Will not the wealthy
and enterprising citizens of Char
lesion devise a scheme which shall
express their good opinion of this un-
dertaking and their readiness to as
sist in it's accomplishment

Unity of effort has received a great
impetus during the past few years.
The same united front that has been
presented by various business indus
tries is now being put into effect in
other lines, particularly marketing
of farm products, and the results al
ready attained have proven beyond
question the vast importance and
benefits of such a unity of purpose.
Religion is the biggest business IN
the world, and has probably been
marked by the greatest lack OF busl-
ness methods; but united efforts are
now being injected into religious &C
tiyities: In Augusta last Sunday, by
pre-arrangement, all of the Protest
ant churches began revival services,
with the exception of one church
which could not make the necessary
arrangements and which will hold
its revival a few weeks hence. These
meetings are outgrowth of the Gyp-
sy Smith meetings last year. The
good that is accomplished through
cooperation in meetings such as are
conducted by Gypsy Smith, Billy Sun
day and other great evangelists can
not be measured. The devil is the
common en- smy of all Christian peo-
pie, and if he is to be put under sub
lection it will require united effort
to do it. This does not mean that
all churches should be enrolled un-
der one banner, for we have no pa
tience with so-called church union.
Each denomination has it's own Pc
culiar functions to perform in the
great scheme, but a spirit of coopera-
ton and oneness of purpose is the
spirit >that should prevail.

had no place in poetry literature. This
visit to his father was the milestone
in his life He at length returned to
Charleston as the lure of the pen was
too strong to be resisted. He knew
that the wilds of the frontier life
was no place for an author His re-
turn was a great shock to his father
as he thought when his son had once
tasted the joys of frontier life he
would not want to go back to hide
bound Charleston.
Simms practiced law for one year
after his return and made $500. So,
encouraged by this wealth, he mar
ried, his wife only living short
time, leaving him the care Of an in
fant daughter. ABOUT this time the
dear old grandmother passed away.
On top of this came the news that
his father had died. This was the be-
ginning of his adversities which fate
seemed to hand out to him at every
turn of his path through life. After
these losses he decided to devote
himself entirely to literature, a
daring determination in that day.
About this time he was offered the
editorship of new magazine in Char
lesion, which lasted only four years.
simms then bought a Charleston
newspaper, "The City Gazette. :"
About this time the notification
troubles were brewing. Simms took
the union side and threw ALI his in
fuence through his paper. into the
struggle. Simms had to give up his
paper and exile himself in the north.
In few years he became one of the
most popular American authors. He
made many fast friends and became
a great favorite in the literary world.
His keen sense of humor, his wealth
of anecdote and deep kindness of
heart made him always acceptable in
any company. He was spoken Of as
the Walter Scott of the south.
In 1884 "Guy Rivers" one Of his
works, appeared, tale of Kentucky.
Encouraged by it's success 'Yemas-
see'' was published the following
year. This is considered Simms's
masterpiece. The entire story is laid
out of doors-a story of the Indian.
After this many books followed. His
books were read over the entire
country and were translated into for
eign languages. In the full tide of
! his success he returned to Charles
ton. AS the notification troubles
were forgotten he was given well

lette Roach and with her came into
possession of an old family estate,
"Woodlands, where he was to spend
the happiest days of his life. On
account of this ease in finances he
was able to crafty his love for en-
tertaining and Woodlands was gay
with guests the year round, who came
from all parts Of the country.
Simms's works were read so much
abroad that many foreign celebrities
visiting the United States came with
a visit to Woodlands. William Cullen
a visit to Woodlands, William Cullen
Bryant would come from the north
in his carriage and spend weeks with
Simms on his plantation. We can
imagine what JOY it was to Simms
after so many years Of hardships to
come at last into his own. He had his
town house in Charleston and there
with Timrod and Hayne he formed

young aspirants gathered for inspi-
