Archives-, and History First Cotton Gin The site of the first cotton gin is about two miles south of Augusta on Rocky creek. The Central railroad crosses the stream within view of the spot, and the dam built by Eli Whitney, the inventor, to obtain a water supply by which to run the machine, is still in existence and use. The cotton gin was invented in 1793, and 122 acres on Rocky creek were deeded by Thomas and Mary Glascock on August 15, 1798, to Phincas Miller, Eli Whitney and James Toole. November 6, 1798, 10 acres were deeded to the same persons, and on February 4, 1799, 10 acres by Nathanael Percare. A UGUSTA was the birthplace of the South- ern textile industry, and holds a position of prestige among her sister cities of the Southeast in manufacturing, while she is the center of a rich and highly diversified agricultural section. Augusta's marvelous climate brings thousands of winter visitors every year, and many of them own magnificent country estates and winter homes in and around the city. Tliere are 3,045 hours of sunshine throughout the year--68 per cent of the possible amount. Facilities for golf in Augusta are unexcelled by any resort city in the South. There are four 18-hole golf courses. Ehiring the winter months there is excellent hunting. Horseback riding and polo are also popular sports. Augusta's location along the hills of the lower Piedmont region could not have been better chosen from a health standpoint. ecGroaerOrcndtleederdn GoCiefnlour1Tbg8.ei3al5fa,MirneodawincdatlheCIFoahlsloehmgineegtboounfiltdhi(en6gtSk, a)nsodsuttrHheeeilatlss*,t fcrroaSmtiebletphyoewcodAtetruognwusmotraiklslcawriunitxhlt.hcehimfonreeygrooufntdh,e aCsonvfieewdeerd- Historic Augusta Streets yl large number of streets of Augusta bear the names of distinguished men of Revolutionary times: Forsyth--John Forsyth.

St. Paul's church was erected in 1750 (the first building) close to the walls of the fort, and miny heroes of the Revolution are buried in the churchyard. llie Confederate monument on Broad street was the gift of the Ladies' M^orial association of Augusta, and was unveiled in October 1878. On it are the figures of Gen. Robert E. Lee, Gen. Stonewall Jackson, Gen. Thomas R. R. Cobb, and Gen. W. H. T. Walker, representing the Confederate nation, the state of Georgia, and the county of Richmond. The shaft is surmounted by the figure of Berry Benson, representing the private soldier of the Confederacy. Fronting the Richmond County courthouse, which was erected in 1820, is a monument to the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and two of them, George Walton and Lyman Hall, are buried beneath the monument. Nearby, on Telfair street, stands stately old First Presbyterian church, built in 1812. This edifice is the center of a historic and cultural group of buildings. Close by on McIntosh (7th) street is the former manse of the church where Woodrow Wilson lived as a boy while his father was pastor of this church. Just east of the church across Washington (6th) stre^, is the old Medical College, built in 1835 and founded in 1828, and which is now a center of art and the home of the Sand Hills Garden club which has preserved it for future generations. This building is one of the finest specimens of Grecian architecture in the country, and is a sister building to the chapel at the University of Georgia at Athens. sfnatortFerhteoehtrrwsm,ewebsrtaosymchopoamanosdseteorhroooomfffetthhToeefelFPcfhiarreiusrsrticdahePn.nrdet sWbMyitclesIornintaonwshhcihl{eu1rtchhhi)s, East of the Medical college is the old Academy of Richmond county.
