Beautiful Beaufort, the bride of the sea, Briny the breezes that blow over thee; Balm-laden zephyrs, lulling to sleep, Born in the caves of the fathomless deep. Beautiful Beaufort! Joyful our lays! Beata, sancta, pulcherrima es! Bedecked in fair robes, the gray and the green, Be now and for aye our Palmetto Queen! Beautiful Beaufort, Queen of the Strand, Blossoms of orange thy coronal band; Bright are thy banners, leafy of fold, Blazoned at sunset with purple and gold. Beautiful Beaufort, belle of the isles, Basking in bliss in the light of thy smiles ;— Burgeoning bud and flowering tree Bring their sweet perfumes as tributes to thee. Beautiful Beaufort, bonnie thy braes, Broad are thy rivers and deep are thy bays,— Breathing the breath of the billowy tide, Bathing the marshes all bristling and wide. Beautiful Beaufort, azure thy sky, Boasting a light with Italia’s to vie— Blessing the night with a silvery gleam, Beaming in shadows where fond lovers dream. The wealth of natural beauty surrounding the city of Beau- fort, in the golden Sea Islands of South Carolina, is unsurpassed anywhere on the American continent—with its vast expanse of STORY OF “BEAUFORT TOWN” has recently been completed and will prove a welcome addition to the resident and visitor. The city of Beaufort, in consonance with its glorious historical associations, has an air of dignity, culture, refinement and financial solidity combined with all the comforts of an up-to-date metropolis. The Story of “Beaufort Town.” What a wealth of historic tale and legendary romance is con- jured to one’s vision by these golden Sea Islands of South Carolina, the erstwhile rendezvous of swashbuckling pirates who scoured the “Spanish Main,’ of pious Huguenot:and gallant cavalier, of stal- wart Scot and giant men in stature and in brain, of haughty “Lords Proprietors’ who dealt out life and death impartially to their own or their enemies, of the cunning Indian and swarthy Spaniard who lay in wait forever on their flank—here in Beaufort and Port Royal Islands are found inextricably mingled tradition and history, legend and inspiration to fire the soul of the poet and the artist and lover of historical associations while meandering through its forest glades and rolling meadows and shady groves swept by the incoming tides from point to point along its verdured banks. The dauntless and defiant spirit, the fiery temper, the venture- OLD SHELDON & CHURCH PRINS STORY OF “BEAUFORT TOWN” The Yemassee Indian war broke out in 1715. These Indians were located in a territory reserved to them by law which included the mainland lying north of Port Royal Island. Incited by the Span- iards at St. Augustine they broke out in insurrection and were only defeated and expelled after a protracted, bloody and costly war. The early scene of this savage outbreak was in the neighborhood of Port Royal Island, and there many of the massacres were per- petrated. The inhabitants of the island itself, however, with some exceptions, received warning in time to take refuge on a ship in Port Royal river and thus escaped. To encourage further settlement half-acre township grants were enacted for Beaufort in 1717, some few of the names of such grantees being in the neighborhood to this very day. By 1722 the fort at Beaufort had gone “so much out of repair and the great gun carriages so rotten that the same is defenceless and of no service, whereby the inhabitants have no place of security for their families in time of alarm, which so much dispirits them that it may occasion a desertion of these frontiers,” in the quaint phraseology of an act passed for nine new gun carriages of cedar plank and repairs to the fort in addition to the provision of two scout boats for the patrol of the islands. ‘A larger fort was built in 1731 and charged up to “His Majesty” at 5,600 pounds. This was named Fort Frederick, the garrison con- sisting of a commander, a sergeant and three full privates. Twenty- seven years later Fort Frederick was reported as “gone to decay” and a new one near Beaufort had been constructed named Fort Lyttleton. Of this fort an old chronicler sets down: “The harbour is defended by a small fort lately built of tappy, a cement composed of oyster shells beat small with a mixture of lime and water, and is very durable. The fort has two demi-bastions to the river and one bastion to the land with a gate and ditch; the barracks are very good and will lodge a hundred men with their officers; there are in it sixteen weighty cannons not yet mounted, the platforms and parapet wall not being finished for want of money.” Beaufort Court House STORY OF “BEAUFORT TOWN” Twelve years later (1775) the Council of Safety had this “durable fort” put again in repair and its guns eventually mounted for the due protection of Beaufort. In 1776 Colonel Hardin took over command of the Beaufort Volunteer Artillery, and in the company annals mention is made of a visit paid by the brilliant Lafayette to the island with its at- tendant ceremonies honoring the event. In 1779 a detachment of British from Savannah under Major Gardner landed on the island, and General Moultrie with such militia as could be gathered moved to protect Beaufort, but pre- vious to his arrival here the local commander had blown up the fort and spiked the cannons—a wholly useless proceeding as it turned out, for Moultrie’s five hundred came into successful en- counter with half their number of redcoats and drove them helter- skelter back to Savannah. Two British officers slain on the field were brought in by the gallant militia and awarded a military fun- eral in St. Helena church-yard here, the officer in command con- cluding the brief service with these stirring words: “Soldiers and fellow citizens—we have now shown our enemies that we not only have the courage to face and beat them in the field but also the humanity to give their dead a decent and Christian burial.” This double grave may yet be seen in the church-yard corner on the tower side. The church of St. Helena was founded in 1712, but THE NATIONAL y CEMETERY STORY OF “BEAUFORT TOWN” strict business basis with most satisfactory results. A $20,000 pav-- ing project was voted in 1917 by a large majority, and Beaufort with its natural advantages, delightful climate and beautiful location: among the Sea Islands is now making a bold bid for greater tourist trafic in addition to its unparalleled attractions as the land of quick and big returns to the farmer and truckman lucky enough to. locate here. Beaufort Has the Cheapest Gov- ernment in the State. Of the larger cities all over the country with populations of 30,000 and upwards, over 42 per cent. are now working under some form of Commission Government, many with a _ city manager. Scores of the smaller towns of late years have reverted to the latter system, Beaufort being among the number since I915, and the Commission-Manager method has proven so successful here that the city now claims the state championship in all-round, low-priced and efficient government. Expenses have been cut 25 per cent. and the Council now find themselves over $5,000.00 ahead compared. to two years ago, its treasury deficit of $3,350 having been trans- formed into a handsome surplus, notwithstanding the many improve- ments that have been inaugurated. The manager form of govern- ment has shown increased efficiency in every department, such as Old Spanish Fort Ruins STORY OF “BEAUFORT TOWN” improved sanitary methods and sewerage system, the prompt pay- ment of all outstanding accounts, enforcement of a rigid building inspection, and many other advancements over the old regime government. Although some critics oppose the Commission-Manager plan because it is new, statistics prove that whenever given a fair and impartial trial with efficiency at its helm in the shape of its execu- tive, in cities large or small all over the country it has worked out to the general satisfaction of the community at large, and the best answer in the case of Beaufort is the “from deficit to surplus” one. Among the first things undertaken was the preparation of a city tax map, by which it was found that over 400 acres had pre- viously escaped taxation. The “City Beautiful” idea next received attention, a park and tree division was created, handsome palmet- tos, weighing over a ton each were brought from Chisolm Island and set out near the Arsenal, and various unsightly dump-heaps were quickly transformed into lawns and rose gardens. A palmetto avenue along West Bay Street is now in contemplation. Present-day Beaufort is distressingly healthful from the physi- cian’s standpoint, owing to the city government’s systematic care of all garbage, its weed-trimming crusades, the oiling of stagnant waters and free distribution of disinfectants. The city and district have been effectually cleared of “vags” and other hobohemians by the cryptic order to “go to work, war or jail.” The police force has been made all white for the first time since the War of Secession. STORY OF “BEAUFORT TOWN” It has been said that “An enlightened people is the safeguard of democracy,” and it may be remarked there is no censor keeping tab at the city hall and the fierce light of publicity is allowed to be thrown on every move of commission and manager. Their motto has been “A dollar’s value for every dollar of city money spent,” and results show they have more than made good, were it only for the nation-wide publicity given the town in magazine and newspaper articles from Massachusetts to California and the fact that 88 cities in 34 states have written in to the manager for particulars of Beau- fort’s form of city government. A Farmer’s El Dorado. (BY W. H. HULL.) The history of the trucking industry of Beaufort County dates back between 25 and 30 years, possibly a year or two earlier. When the writer first came to Beaufort in 1889, the Phosphate Rock Mining Industry was at the peak of its prosperity, and the wages paid labor were so attractive and there was such a great demand for able-bodied men that farming was looked upon as an occupation for women and children and the physically unfit. The chief money crop for shipment to the larger markets was Asparagus, and a few acres each of Potatoes, Peas, Beans and Cab- bage were grown. At that time the growers were so few they could Beaufort Bay from the Bluff STORY OF “BEAUFORT TOWN” almost be enumerated on the fingers of one hand. Among them were Henry D. Elliott, at Cane Island, the Satterthwaites at Cat Island, John Stockley and Torrant at Port Royal, the Danner Bros., at Hall’s Island, and Rountree at Port Royal. About that time Mr. W. H McLeod began the development of the place now owned by Long & Bellamy Bros., Co., then known as Island Tank. The Benton Bros. owned the place on Broad River, but were not engaged in the growing of truck except for local consumption. Following the calamitous storm of 1893, which wrecked the Phosphate Mining Industry, and the marvelous development of that industry in Florida, labor was forced to seek other occupations, as the mining industry gradually diminished until in 1903 it ceased entirely. It has since been revived in a small way on Chisolm’s Island. With the loss of this industry, then, the commerce of Beaufort became dependent almost entirely on Agriculture, and from that period the real development of the Truck Growing In- dustry dates. Beaufort’s chief money crop, previous to the season of 1917, was Lettuce, and to the enterprise of Clarence Benton and the Whipple Bros. (who were experienced nursery men before coming to Beaufort), credit is due for the development of that crop. From an insignificant beginning of a few acres in 1902 or 1903 the culti- vation of this crop spread until the acreage planted for the 1917 crop amounted to about 1,000 acres. The soil and climate of the Sea Islands around Beaufort seem particularly adapted to the growth of this vegetable. To the pioneer spirit of Clarence Benton STORY OF “BEAUFORT TOWN” credit is also due for the first overhead irrigation system in Beau- fort County, he having seen this operated in Florida. Next in importance to Lettuce is the cultivation of the white (or Irish) Potato, and with the phenomenal yield for the crop of 1917 and the unheard of prices realized, this crop took such ad- vanced position in the lead as to outrank all others combined. Po- tatoes demand a different type of soil from Lettuce and the largest fields given over to it are to be found on the lower, heavier types of land. In the culture of Lettuce, which is harvested in March and April, Cucumbers are planted while the Lettuce is still on the ground, and this in turn is followed by Corn, and Peas are sown in the Corn as a cover crop to keep the ground cool and moist during the hot period of the last half of summer. In the culture of Pota- toes, the same practice is followed except that the Cucumbers are left out. In the fall of the year, the Peas are not harvested (ex- cept such as the hogs gather when turned on them), but are plowed under to add their fertility to the soil. Other vegetables grown, taking rank in importance in the order given above are, Cabbage, Peas, Beans, Tomatoes and a large va- riety whose acreage is small.

The following Logs of the main highways of the South are presented to the tourist and resident with the compiler’s compliments, and have been checked and revised by the National Touring Bureau of the B. F. Goodrich Tire Co. of Akron, Ohio, with the object of stimulating touring and road improvement, providing as they do in a concise form exact and convenient directions for the tourist. The State Department of Agriculture of South Carolina has gone to much trouble and expense in signposting all main highways leading through the State, color bands of varied hue being painted on telegraph and telephone poles and on signboards at- tached to posts and trees. These color bands are of ten varieties, as follows: Along the Appalachian Highway from Columbia to Asheville (181 miles), the signs are red over white, with a centered “A.” On the old State Road from Columbia to Charles- ton (114.7 miles), the signs show blue over white with a centered “S.” On the New York-Florida Highway from Colum- bia north to Washington (574.4 miles), and south to Jacksonville (387 miles), the bands are red, white anid blue with a centered “W.” Along the Piedmont Highway from Columbia to Asheville (176.9 miles), the signs show green over white with a centered “P.” On the Carolina Highway beginning at Camden to Charlotte (112.6 miles), the bands read red, white and yellow, with a centered “C.” Along the Coast Highway from Columbia to Georgetown (149.7 miles), the signs are black, white and yellow, with a centered “G.” On the Pee Dee Highway from Columbia to Conway (161 miles), the bands are green, white and yellow, with a centered “P.

Situated midway between Washington and Key West, Charleston is the center of all tourist travel between North and South. A trip to Charleston through the old South, via the Atlantic Coast Line, the Southern Railway, or the Seaboard Air Line, from New York or Jacksonville, is a journey replete with pleasant and interesting ex- periences. Among the numerous attractions of Charleston are her history and tra- ditions, her wonderful gardens and old colonial architecture, her many parks and beauty spots, the numerous opportunities for side trips by motor boat or automobile. In addition to these, Charleston has one of the finest eighteen-hole golf courses in the South, un- equaled hunting and fishing, and unusual opportunities for camping, sailing and boating, walking and kindred pastimes. Charleston’s climate is always delightful, especially in winter when the North is in the grip of ice and snow. Her fields are always green and her beautiful magnolias and giant live oaks, covered with Spanish moss, are a constant joy to the eye. Situated on the coast, her sum- mers are tempered by cool ocean breezes. When you visit Charleston, call at the Chamber of Commerce Building, which you will find at Broad and Church Streets.

Food Administration dated January of this year on special fishing licenses means that all salt water fishermen other than those em- ployed on wages, engaged in the catching of salt water fish or in the producing of any other kind of sea food in- cluding lobsters, crabs, shrimps, oysters, clams, etc., must take out licenses. This must be done whether such fisher- Men are citizens of the United States or aliens and whether they are temporarily or steadily engaged in the business. ’ Likewise, any person, firm, corporation or association employing men engaged in catching salt water fish or pro- ducing any kind of sea food including lobsters, crabs, shrimps, oysters, clams, etc., must take out licenses. The only exceptions to the Proclamation are as fol- lows: I. Fishermen whether members of unions or other- wise who are employed to fish on vessels or in trap or other fishing operation and who are primarily paid for their services on some scale of wages and do not depend for their remuneration as sharesmen on some form of salt water fishing lay. 2. Men similarly employed on wages in the shell- fish and crustacean industries including oysters, clams, lobsters, crabs, shrimps, etc. In connection with the present licensing of the fish in- dustry the food administration desires to emphasize and make clear to the salt water fishermen of the United States the following: = It is not the intention of the food administration to regulate in any way in the fishing districts the prices of fish and sea foods. Distribution and prices so far as the fishermen producers are concerned will move along the same natural lines as heretofore, subject only to the mea- sures of regulation already put into effect at the whole- G.

The intention of the food administration in this pres- ent licensing of the salt water fishermen and sea feed pro- ducers is to enable the Administration to greatly increase. the catches and opportunities of the fishermen, and broaden their operations for the duration of the war. All this will be brought about by regulations soon to be en- acted by the food administration and embracing the At- lantic and Gulf Coasts. These regulations where neces- sary will supersede the local laws in the various fishing districts which are at present discouraging the fishermen, curtailing the catches and restraining the use of the most productive kinds of fish gear. Also in some of the dis- tricts, closed seasons on certain varieties of salt water fish are now being enforced during the periods when these varieties are in greatest abundance in the shore waters. In many of the districts restrictive laws against non- resdents and alien fishermen are rendering it impossible for vessels and equipment from one state to make catches of fish in the shore waters of adjoining states. Restric- tions against the use of purse seines within the three mile limit are also greatly curtailing production and bringing about a shortage on our supplies of salt water fish.

SOUTHERN AUTO GUIDE. 67 Beaufort City Water and Light Rates The Ordinance passed by the City Council at a recent session makes several changes in the charges for water and light service with an increase of from 20 to 30% in the rates. An effort has been made to keep the cost to the consumer at the very minimum possible and still per- mit the plant to run. The rates that have been in effect heretofore had not been changed since the good old days when we were paying 80 cents per ton for coal. Last month we had to pay $7. Some important rules as to the payment of accounts and use of water for gardening are included in the ordinance. One plain faucet, for ordinary use remains at $1.25 per month; each additional plain faucet, ro cents extra. For the usual combination of 1 sink, 1 bath, 1 toilet and 1 lavatory, the new rate is $1.50. For each hose faucet for private garage, stable, lawn or garden the charge is 50 cents, and the only time that gardens and lawns can be sprinkled or irrigated is during the one hour from 5 to 6 p. m. for October to March, inclusive, and from 6 to 7 p. m. for the months from April to September, inclusive, except by special contract at added cost. This last pro- vision is absolutely necessary in order to meet war-time conditions and every citizen who reports infriingements will be doing a patriotic duty. There will be special rates for commercial purposes, depending upon the amount of consumption. Most of such service will be metered. The meter rates have been increased 5-cents per 1,000 gallons. A single electric light of 60 watts capacity or less will take a flat rate of $1.25. Two or more lights at a min- imum of $180, which will be the new minimym for me- tered customers. The new meter rates will be 16 cents per killowatt, graded down to 11 cents for those using large quantities. It is anticipated that the higher rates will cut down consumption considerably, which will re- lieve the cost of running the plant. All accounts are payable from the Ist to the roth of DID IT EVER STRIKE YOU THIS WAY? What Would Your City and County be With- out a Local Newspaper?

A penalty of 5% will be added to all bills unpaid by the 15th, and if an account runs 30 days, that is until the’ end of the month, the service may be discontinued with- out notice. Where a service has been discontinued for non-payment, it will be reconnected only upon payment of all past accounts and penalties and a connection fee of 50 cents, additional. There have been some reports lately of customers sell- ing water to their neighbors, or worse yet, giving it away. To do away with this fraudulent practice, the council has made such traffic a misdemeanor and has also condemned stealing water which is a kindred offense. Penalties of $10 or 15 days are provided for those offending in such cases and also for those who use water for garden or lawn purposes outside the legal hours in defiance of the law. The action of the council in facing this serious situa- tion is in keeping with war-time practice all over the country. Some plants have been forced into bankruptcy already, and economies and higher rates are the only sal- vation. 70 SOUTHERN AUTO GUIDE.

R. WEBB) SITUATION BEAUFORT COUNTY is situated in the extreme southern part of SOUTH CAROLINA, and is composed principally of a number of Islands both large and small, the city itself being on what is known as Port Royal Island. CLIMATE The climate of BEAUFORTis semi-tropical, being warmed, it is supposed by the GULF STREAM. It enjoys a 5 degree warmer atmosphere than Yemassee, which is only twenty miles inland. SOIL The northern part of the county has a black, loamy soil, with a red clay sub- soil, from 12 inches to 2 feet below it. In the southern section, though a great deal of it is like the upper section, the largest amount is a grey sandy loam. These soils are very productive if properly cultivated. POPULATION The 1910 Census gave BEAUFORT COUNTY the following population: Whites 3902; Colored 26,376. HISTORY Before the Civil War, this section was owned by very rich planters, and was considered the wealthiest part of SOUTH CAROLINA. The city itself is filled with beautiful homes, which were the summer homes of these rich planters. The farms at that time could not be bought, being valued as high as $500.00 and even more per acre. The northern army captured this section, and the United States government confiscated all these rich farms, dividing them up into ten acre tracts, and gave them to the thousands of slaves whom they freed. The homes of the planters were sold under a direct tax, and bought in at very small prices. The Government afterwards paid the owners of this property for it. HEALTH Being surrounded by salt water, there is no malaria here, and there has never been a malaria-bearing mosquito caught in this section, either by the city authori- ties or the medical department of the Marine Camp, which is located in this county. 3 The Marine Camp is said to be the HEALTHIEST CAMP OF SOLDIERS IN THE UNITED STATES, the percentage of sickness being only 3-4 of 1 per cent. Many doctors of the upper part of the State send babies and other patients here to regain their health from many causes. The local doctors state that, unless they have some other business besides practicing medicine, they are not able to make a living, the health of this locality being so good. WATER Artesian wells give us in this locality as fine water as there is in the world. BEAUFORT’S FARMING RECORD Whipple Bros., on land that only cost $25.00 per acre, hold the record of the U.S. A. for production to the acre, having taken $5,000.00 in farm products from an acre of land in one year. This was done on the whole acreage of the farm. nay year the same parties produced 120 barrels (11 pecks) of Irish potatoes to the aere. 73 a eat. TS, Mr. W. R. Eve, in the year 1916, grossed over $25,000.00 from 18 acres of let- -tuce. Many farmers last year grossed over $2,000.00 to the acre in truck of some kind, and they grew 60 to 75 bushels of corn, or a bale and a half of cotton, on _ the same acre, and when corn was planted they made in between the corn as high as 50 bushels of velvet beans to the acre, besides having the vines to turn under, to form humus. Over $2,500,000.00 worth of truck alone was shipped to the northern markets from the section between Port Royal to Yemassee, a distance of 25 miles. THE RECORD OF THIS COUNTY DURING THIS WAR Ny No section of the South suffered more or as much as Beaufort during the _ Civil war, in loss of life and property, and yet during this war— | BEAUFORT has bought more LIBERTY BONDS according to population than any other county in this State. BEAUFORT has bought more WAR SAVINGS STAMPS according to popu- lation, than any other county in this State. BEAUFORT has had more volunteers according to population than any other county in the UNITED STATES. The U. D. C. Chapter of BEAUFORT has given more to the hospital cause than any other Chapter in S. C. The RED CROSS asked BEAUFORT for $5,000.00 which was as much as the _ eombined request of Hampton and Colleton Counties. BEAUFORT arose to the situation, and gave over $7,000.00. CROPS THAT CAN BE GROWN IN BEAUFORT COUNTY Any kind of VEGETABLE can be grown in this county, and finds a ready _ market in the Northern markets, from the fact that this is the only section shipping at the time that the crops come in. After the vegetable crop is off, such crops as the following can be grown on the same land: Corn, Cotton, Castor Beans, Sugar Cane, Velvet Beans, Cow Peas, Soy Beans, Sweet Potatoes, and anything that can be grown in the U. S. A. All small grain crops, such as Oats, Barley, Rye, Wheat, Etc., are planted in this section in the fall, and mature in the early spring, giving you the land for summer crops. Many ripe Oranges have been gathered in Beaufort—but it is not a certain _ ¢rop in this section, from the fact that we have cold enough to kill the trees at times. | BEAUFORT AS A HOG AND CATTLE COUNTRY BEAUFORT County is considered, by those who know, the best section in 8. C., if not the South for hog raising, from the fact that the waters abound in Marsh Grass which is very nutritious, and hogs are very fond of it; also the pastures can be so located that the hogs can catch Fiddlers and Crabs and there- fore need no other protein. Cattle are known to live in some of the pastures here all the year round without a particle of feed otherwise than what they get in the pasture. Can any more be said? PRICE OF LAND IN BEAUFORT COUNTY | Land can be bought in Beaufort County from $15.00 per acre up, according to _ improvements, ete. This $15.00 land if treated with a green manuring, can be made very rich in one to two years. Many of the farmers cut the marsh grass in the salt water, and compost same in their lots. It produces load for load, and Tuns, according to the State’s Agricultural College, from 1 to 2 per cent Potash, _ and 2 to 3 per cent Ammonia. Farms can be bought from 10 acres for the individual, up to 3,000 for : Colonies. | _ he any description of Farm Properties in Beaufort or adjoining counties, write, T. R.
