Intersect Ihk lines. A further run of
cuie hundred mlls brings us to the
historic town of Camden, S,C passing
eight stations or more or less Import
fince. Now towns through this pine
district spring tip like mushrooms.
Saw mills, turpentine stills, lumber
camps, houses built on stilts, with no
cellars, the chimneys built outside the
gable end, are seen on every side:
while the soil Is varl-colored sand and
loam, red and yellow. Improving lr.
legulnrly as we go southward. This
kind of soil requires yearly fertilizing,

notice that In the clearing of the land,
and burning of the brush and stumps,
and even In ploughing, the negro wo

FrcUTILIKKRS.
The best fertilizer used Is made from
phosphate ruck, dug from the beds
only found In this locality, and dry
bone and cotton seed meal oil. ground
together, which produces a rich com
post black in color. This Is a great In
dustry and the licenses paid for min
ing the phosphate rocks form a large
1 tlbllo revenue.
A noticeable feature at each station
all through the south was two separ
ate apartments for passengers, one for
white people and one for colored, in
dicated by a sign over each doorway;
also in some of the day coaches are
tirst and second class apartments for
both white and colored, custom not al
lowing the two races to ride in thq
same apartment, while In Georgia it Is
unlawful, so said.
At Camden we changed from eastern
to central time by dating back our
watches an hour. The historical events
connected with this town are too well
known to need more than a passing
allusion. Camden was settled in 1 750.
and was the scene of many bitter fights
during the Revolution, one of which
was marked by the death of Ilnron

Its line of gray old vorandncd houses,
standing like sentinels watching over
the peaceful, sunny little town below.
HOiIKIIlK INN.
The beautiful grounds of "Hobklrk
Inn" nro n part of the Revolutionary
battflcld of Hobklrk. The "Inn" Is n
modern and model structure, ,100 feet
long, nnd can accommodate 125 guests.
It Is located within a thirty-five acre
tract of long-leaf pine ond varied semi
tropical trees nnd shrubs under a high
state of cultivation. Tho hotel enjoys
in enviable reputation for good ser
vice, remarkably pure and soft water,
sunny rooms and every modern com
fort and convenience. A charming lake
In sight abounds with fish. Tim drives
through miles of pine forests, tho prom
enades through pvergreen shrubs nnd
arched evergreen walks In the great
grove of towering pines with fragrant
flowers are Inviting and attractive fea
tures. Camden, during tho prostration that
followed after the Civil war, sank al
most Into oblivion In no far as the outer
world was concerned, and It bus boon
only during the past three years that
Its fame has come to tho knowledge of
the world, outside of Carolina, os a
winter resort. Of tho climate there Is
but one opinion from all those who
come within the spell of Its life-giving
atmosphere, due to the soil, which Is
io a great depth composed entirely of
sand and gravel, and the aromatic odor
of the pines which surround the town.
The population today Is 3,000, with good
stores, schools, churches and nn opera
house. A thirty-two mile further run
through it red shale district, peculiarly
adapted to raising vegetables, grain,
cotton, grasses, tobacco, etc., brings us
to Columbia, the capital of South Caro
lina. A TYPICAL SOUTHKRN CITY.
Columbia was once a typical old
southern city of ante-bellum days of
the better claps, but at tho present
time, one of the up-to-date busiest
cities of tho new South. Being tho
capital of the state, it Is tho center of
political Influence and .importance.
'Phe place was plotted over one hun
dred years ago by far-sighted, liberal
minded men, who laid out the streets
100 feet wide ond avenues IfiO feet wide,
crossing each other at right angles and
bordered with double and triple rows
of stately eli and other huge shade
trees. A handsome row of these in the
center of every driveway, together
with the magnificent lawns and well
trlmmed shrubbery which surround the
numerous mansions here, gives Col
umbia an air of freedom and plctures
queness not usually found in a city one
hundred years old. It is two miles
square, regularly divided by streets
running nt right angles into block? of
four acres each, and contains eighty
miles of streets. The roadways are In
the main macadamized and the streets
paved. It is truly a city of gardens
and many of them exceedingly beauti
ful. There arc no tenements. Every
resldence, no matter how humble,

stands apart from Its neighbor In Its
own garden. 4
The city has n population of 25,300,
nearly three-fourths of whom are col
ored. Columbia has a half-dozen hotels,
churches of all denominations, six
banks, two club houses, nn opera
house, three dally newspapers, one tri
weekly, six weeklies nnd four month
lies, besides neat Job printing and
book-binding establishments, also two
telegraph lines, gas and water works
and cleetrle plants, a fine tire depart
ment with three steamers, and over
eleven miles of electric railway, be

ored patients, colleges and other state
Institutions, which I will mention later

CLIMATE AND FLOWERS.
It Is not quite summer here In Col
umbia, but It's springy March here Is
May tip North. Violets nnd dandelions'
are looking forth from tho grass; Jon
quils nnd crocuses are n-bloom In the
gardens hero, hush honeysuckle and
Forsythla and Japan quince are (lower
ing, loaded with buds and blossoms
that attract a throng of humming
bees. Magnolias and many other shrubs
and trees nre full of swelling buds. The
tall magnolia tree, with Its full rich
evergreen and dense glossy foliage, will
stand the winter through. Among such
trees nnd shrubbery nnd climbing
roses, green nil the year round, one
loses the Idea of the season altogether
tho aspect of winter Is removed.
Peach trees are In blossom nlso.
The city rests on a granite spur of
the Piedmont region, which projects
into the long leaf pine belt, and its
high elevation gives It pure nlr and
admirable drnmngo. Here are nn stag
nant pools of water, or sun minding
marshes, nnd every condition of
healthfulness is fully met. The air Is
cool and bracing and there Is little bad
weather from September to May. The
mean annual temperature Is 01 de
grees. As a health resort It Is one of
tho very best, tho winter climate be
ing especially ngreeable. A number of
northern people have bought nnd
built houses nnd make their winter
homes here. Tho henlth of the city is
exceedingly good, the death rate per
thousand being 11.01 for white and
20.23 for colored people.
AN EDUCATIONAL CENTER.
Columbia Is the great educational
center of South Carolina, the seat ot
four colleges and one theological semi
nary, besides a number of private
schools and charitable Institutes, viz..
the South Carolina, college, covering
two blocks, thnt time honored institu
tion that sent forth so many noble
men to battle against the ills of fate;
the Columbia female college (Metho
dist), tho Wlnthrop training school,
the college for women, the Presby
terian college for women, the Presby
terian theological seminary, the Allen
university (Methodist), and Renedict
Institute (Baptist), both for colored
people, and Columbia business college
and the Ursullno (Catholic) Institute.
Two great state institutions are lo
cated here. The hospital for tho In
sane and tho penitentiary. Nearly SO!)
convicts are employed on railroad
works, plantations and within the
prison walls.
But the centre of attraction Is the
capltol building, which we visited with
much Interest. The capltol buifding,
commenced In 1810, is still unfinished,
even after an expenditure of $4,000,000.
It stands in the centre of a high
plateau called Capital park, which Is
beautifully laid out In drives, lawns
and promenades, with an elegant
flower garden at either end of tho
building. To the right of the main en-
: I fttcA ltP
s , '
trance stands the Palmetto monu
ment. This Is a bronze palmetto tree,
erected to the memory of those ot tho
Palmetto regiment thnt fell In tho
Mexican war. To tho left stands thu
Washington monument and In tho
front tho Confederate monument,
erected In 1S7n by tho. Ladles' monu
ment association to tho memory of tho
I'onfodorate dead, a ittiLgnlricunt shaft,
costing $12,000. On the west end ot tho
capltol may be seen, high up on the
white wall, a sharp hole, nnd nenr It
a broken stone balustrade, at a win
dow, and other marks of General
Hlifrnian's artillery firing, from across
th Congaree liver, during his de
slrtirtlvo march to tho sea In 1815,
While nt the cnpltol we were fortunate
In making the acquaintance of Elbert
II. Anil, president of the South Caro
lina Press association, who In turn
Introduced us to Ills Excellency, Gov
ernor M. It. McSweoncy, of the state,
and General C. I. Walker, who gave
us a hospitable reception, and much
valuable data pertaining to the city
nnd state, which I shall mention Inter.
THH HOME OF SECESSION.
The legislature having adjourned
Its sessions only last forty days, the
members drawing no pay beyond tho
forty days after Jan. 10th of each
year we were deprived ot the privi
lege of seeing that august body In
session, but through the courtesy or
tho governor were shown through
the historic senate chamber and
assembly room, whore, suspended
from Its walls, are the life size paint
ings of Jackson, Calhoun, Marlon,
Sumter, Ilnynes. Hampton, Preston
and other distinguished South Caro
lina statesmen and soldiers. Within
these halls, the "secession scheme"
had Its birth and was eloquently ad
vocated by sonic ot the above silver
tongueil orators and finally passed on
Dec. 20, 1SC0. followed four days later
by a proclamation from the governor
announcing the dissolution of tho
union between South Carolina and tho
other states South Carolina led tho
states of the south In the assertion
of state sovereignty. A bronze tab
let whereon the ordinance of seces
sion Is Inscribed, (Dee, 20, IS00)), also
a similar tablet announcing tho re
peal of the ordinance of recession at
a convention hold bore in September,
lSfifi, now bung conspicuously upon
the historic walls as a reminder of
the "lost cause."
. PROOFS OF PROSPERITY.
In speaking ot the progress and pros
perity of Columbia and South Caro
lina, Governor McSwoency says:
"The business depression through
which the people ot" our state has
passed and which was almost unpre
cedented, seems to have been fol
lowed by a revival which Is touching
all branches of Industry. You need
no better evidence of the progress
and prosperity of our state than that
presented In the figures contained in
the annual report of the' secretary of
state. From this report It will bol
seen thnt approximately '$15,000,000
wore Invested tho past year In South
Carolina companies, and while a largo
proportion of it is In cotton mill build
ings, such as you have seen here In
Columbia, yet many smaller manufac
turing enterprises and industries have,
been organized. New manufactories
continue to go up and we are no
longer simply an agricultural people,
but are fast becoming, as well, a live
manufacturing state. Wo now lead
all southern states in the manufac
ture of cotton goods and are second
only to Massachusetts In tho number
of spindles, and at tho present rate of
progress will soon load all the states
of the union in this Important branch
of Industry."
"Here the cotton mills are located
In the cotton fields. Within two years
tlie smith's addition of spindles was
S3 tier cent, while Now England's .was
only n 1-3 per cent. Manufactured ar
ticles doubled in value between 1SS0
and IS'jo. Tho cotton crop is four
fifths of the world's produce. In
lPftO it was 11,271,000 bales.
EDUCATIONAL PROGRKSS.
Regarding education, Governor
Sweeney says: "Not tho least grati
fying evidence of our progress Is the
remarkable awakening in all depart
ments of education. Encouraging' re
ports come from the schools and col
leges of our state, indicating that
they have, entered upon a new era of
unexampled prosperity. Tho enroll
ment in 1000 lu white schools was
12l,2Sy pupils, in increase of nearly
five per cent, over the year ISM. That
of tho colored schools was 140,177 pu
pils, in increase of only five per cent,
over 1.S90. The school term fop whites
In the country is only :!! weeks; In the
city, 30 weeks, while the colored Is
only 1,1 weeks. Under the present
school system, adopted in ISfiS.nll com
mon schools are declared open to all
children with regard to color, but In
practice separate schools are pro
vided. Sixty per cent, of scholars
throughout the state are colored. Tho
expenditures for white schools In 1H0O
wore $700,r.!O.CO, agnlnst $."B.35:i.2C,
nearly twenty per cent, greater than
In 1S99, That of the negro schools In
1900 was S201M78.93 against ?l!Kl..fll..'i9
In 18!)!), an Increase of five per com.
There wore 3,270 white teachers and
2,'JH4 negro teachers In 1000, a gain of
2"0 white teachers and 201 negro
teachers over 1S09. This statement
shows some of the gain In the mat
ter of expenditures and advancement
In common school education In South
Carolina."
THE CITY'S APPROACHES.
Columbia Is approached from tho
south by a -mammoth bridge, a com
bination of wood and Iron, over tho
Congaree river. The brldgo H 1,200 feet
long, Is supported by nlno largo piers
and cost $40,000; and from thu north
west, over Broad river, by a bridge 1,
031 feet long, that cost JS.I.OOO; alo by
a number of public roads that bring nn
uhundnnco of produce raised In tho
surrounding country. Tho soil In tho
northern part of tho city Is red clay,
while in the southern part anil through
to the const, 112 miles, It Is sandy, At
Columbia the mountain sand and red
clay sub-soil and tho ocean sand meet.
Among tho six good hotels of tho city,
I should make special mention of tho
Columbia, as being n flnst-cluss hos
telry, worthy to bear its name, tho
source of pride of all citizens of this
famous South Carolina city, und, I can
say, tho praise of all visitors, Archi
tecturally beautiful, of southern de
sign, It represents the highest type of
n modern and model hotel. Tho In
terior Is unlquo and luxurious, There
Is not a dark room in tho house. The
cuisine comprises all tho delicacies of
tho season to pleuse tho most fastidi
ous. The hotel possesses all modern
conveniences and necessities. The pro
prietor, M. F. Nixon, Is n typical hotel
man, a southern gentleman In spirit
and training, who enjoys a reputation
throughout the (southland for giving
personal attention to the comfort of his
guests. We have very pleasant recol
lections of tho hospitality shown to us
whilo his guests during our stay in
Columbiu.
Columbia Is connected with tho out
side worlil lv liliclu linos of railway.
Some twenty passenger trains nrrlve
and depart from here dally, nnd by
reason of these unsurpassed railroad
facilities nnd Its mld-Htnte location
(being equidistant from the ports of
Savannah, Port Royal, Charleston and
Georgetown) It Is nnturally a great dis
tributing center. Tho Southern rnll
wny extends to Charlotte on the north,
to Augusta and Atlanta and Rlrmlng
hnm on the muitlt, to Ashevlllo and
Chattanooga lu the west nnd (o Green
ville, Anderson and all points In the
Piedmont i-eglou, while the Atlantic
Coryst lino nnd Seaboard Air Lino radi
ate to the soutli and southeast. The
Seaboard ontern tho city through n cut
of over fifty feet deep, opening up utl
area of several acres In the center of
the city, to bo tised for a now depot,
railroad Hhops, etc., and on leaving tho
city southward pusses over a trestle
two miles In length, The Seaboard has
spent $100,000 In developing Its road
within the city limits.
As a business center, Columbia bus
for the past six years been making
rapid strides. Within the city nre
ninny largewholesnle and retail houses,
cotton mills, oil factories, fertilizing
works, tobacco warehouses, railroad
shops, etc. Here are two of the largest
cotton seed oil mills nnd fertilizing
factories In the South, while surround
ing Is a largo and fertile agricultural
country, with Its broad cotton fields,
tobneco fields, truck farms, lumber
mills nnd turpentine stills, ns scon from
flic capltol anil cnpltol grounds, testify
to tho new era of prosperity that has
dawned ttpon the once quiet nrlsto
cratlc. town.
INDUSTRIAL PROSPECTS. .
P.y harnessing the Congaree and
Rrond rivers, a splendid and Inex
haustible water power, only second to
Niagara, glvosColumbla just what was
needed to utilize the Immense- cotton
supply, grown around hero. Into var
ious fabrics by and for Its own peo
ple nnd nlso to dovelope the Immense
latent resources of this section. Gon:
ernl Sherman, .on bis famous march to
the sea, destroyed nearly nil the busi
ness section of Columbia, (the blame
of which each side throws upon tho
other), causing great consternation
nnd consequent depression, from
which the city never fully milled, but
remained a dull, conservative and
even dead town until 1S91 nnd 1895,
when new life was Infused Into It by
such men as W. P. Smith Whaley,
and other New England capitalists,
who, on coming hero, commenced to
develop the natural resources of the
city then lying dormant, virtually un
known and unappreciated. Today
Columbia can boast of tho lnrgest
number of up-to-date cotton mills,
run by eloctrietiy, in the world, and
the la'rgest cotton mill under one roof
in the United States. Standing n-s I
do, amid these immense electrical mill
palaces, In this unique New England
village, I am led to exclaim, In my ad
miration: "All ball, Columhla!"
Next week, before continuing our
journey southward, I will briefly de
scribe one of these cotton mill pal
aces and the immense power plant,
the pride of the New South and Mecca
of progressive manufacturers from
Maine to California.
