Herald. i 1 The Petersburg fleet of pole boats . that used to ply between Augusta and the upcountry has well nigii vanished?scarcely one remains to tell the tale. Yet this city used to receive through the canal and the upper river upwards of 30,000 bales of cotton annually and all manner j of country produce, such as chickens, eggs, butter, cotton, wood, etc. The boats would bring down a load ' of such truck and carry back a load ^ of merchandise bought from Augusta merchants. This trade was , UIA on/1 ctiAiil/) lintrfl vcxjr vnwouic atiu oiivuiu iimtv have been carefully fostered and never allowed to slip away. To show what a big factor the ' trade was from the Petersburg boats < it is only necessary to recall the fact that formerly the whole of the trade was carried on by them from Thomson's Factory at Anthony Shoals, Elberton, Hartwell, Lincolnton, Anderson, Abbeville , and a large part of upper Edgefield district. Boate ran to the. foot of Tallulah Falls, and far up on the Tugoloo river. The following parties are the most prominent owners of boats ' related from memory: Drew Cade, 1 Ben Cade, John Thomson, N. W. Stevenson, I. N. Zellers, N A. Craw ford, Robert Parks, Dr. Gilbert, Marion McDaniel, John Glendennings, Elj, Lockhart, Tom Remsen, Alex Searls, Huse Glaze and mpny others. The Petersburg boat was propelled by means of hand-power by pushing it along with long poles. It ' would navigate shoal water and pass up and down through rapids which were otherwise not navigabh. It was not provided with a whistli, but instead, long tin horns answered the purpose of giving notice of its arrival and departure. Petersburg 1 boats were so popular at one time 11 in this city that barrels filled with j boat-horns sat in front of every tinshop and grocery store on upper Broad street for sale. And it was surprising the distance they could be heard and the soft, plaintive music they could j make. On a still night they could i be heard all over the Hill.

V - -i'-cm v>1 v 4 r^tV-'rlKS buyers would break for the eanal basin eager to purchase the eotra30und of the boat' horn drays and try produce that the boats would bring. Then there would be lively scrambling for the bargains. At 3eason of the year the canal basin would be crowded with boats and at night the whole section around would be lit up with the light of their campfires, built on a stand of brick in the center of the boat And there would be some raw dancing and merry-making among thev boathands, Sambe would be . V there with his eld banjo and fiddle and the we*? a pleaty' to pat "Juba" tor the dancers. And it may have been that somebody in the crowd passed around a dram or two, just to keep things bet up to the frolicking stage.' Nearly ivery trip clown a boat would bring a possum with his tail caught in the split end of a hickory stick, and not unfrequently, a coop of possums or a coop of turkeys. Generally, 100 bales of cotton wprp considered a load but some times 200 bales were brought The boats were large enough to trans- > port wagons, buggies, cottoa gins, portable and stationary steam en- > fines and thrashers for farm use. And it was the quickest, the safest and the cheapest way ta get farm products to market. Is the old Pet- r ersburg boat coming back? Railroads and automobiles have crowded it out of late years but this war will make great changes in transportation as well as everything elae. It would not be at all surpnung to see the canal basin again Hll?d with Petersburg boat*. . \t%3 TRYING TO WARM UP.
