Venters t old the Observer in a telephone interview that the Ways and Means Commlttee of the S.C. House of which he ill a m ember had r eceived a report indicating the revenues for the state in the c urrent fiscal year through April l wer e $790 mi llion while for the same period in 197~76 the figure was $695 million for a difference of '9S million. Vent ers pointed out , however 1 that for the m onth of April revenue for 1977 was down 11 per t-ent fr om the same month a year ago, from $56.7 million to SS0.4 million. The increase in total revenue for the year lo da te is reflected in an increase In revenue trom bank tues of tl .4- per cent and in the domestic insurance tax of 45.7 per cent . Both income and cor porate la.J:es are also on the rise this year with a 35.9 per cent lncr ease. In the loss colwnn, Venters said that the public recreation tax is down' 31.6 per cent , which he attributes to a decrease in tourism in the state brought on by higher fuel costs. McGill indicated that the budget will probably become final within the nell two weeko. The reason for the drop In r ev enue sharing appears to be attributable to a decllne in local taz revenue ln the past few years.

M. ''Sonny Buck'' Cook of 1 ' SONNY BUCK COOK 0 • .Johnsonville was one of the more than 400 citizens from . the 6th District of South Carolina to attend the recent presidential inauguration. Cook, a staunch Democrat for all of his adult life, traveled to Washington by car with friends from Florence. In a interview after returning to his home here, he said he enjoyed the festivities very much and was ''proud to be a part of the large crowd of friends and supporters who went to Washington to see the first southerner take the office of President of the United · States in a mighty long time.' ' Not being much of a traveler, Cook said, ''1 haven't been nowhere much, and I really enjoyed my trip to Washington. I'm not use to city life like some of my friends. They kept me up 'till about 3 or 4 in the morning .. I told them I was not use to that life style, that I am usually in bed and asleep by 9 o'clock at night.'' However, he met many people there that he has become acquainted with over the years, and was tickled to death that he had made the trip. Cook and his wife, Leota, along with other members of his family , have been hosting a big political feast every two years, just prior to the primaries. for the past 16 years. Cook said, ''I have always wanted my suppers to get to be as big as Gallivants Ferry. Over there they don't serve much but a little bit of chicken and rice, and they charge you too, besides claiming that their rally is the biggest in the state. At Vox, where our suppers are held at ,,, the community center, we serve anything anybody could want to eat from barbecue, fried fish, fish stew and chicken and rice, with all the trimmings and we don't charge anybody anything, either. This part year a lot of my friends told me we had laid Gallivants Ferry in the shade. We invite everybody, Democrat and Republican alike, to come join us, eat, hear our politicians speak, then go home and vote like they please. We don't try to • at1on tell nobody how to vote.'' Cook declared he had never in his life seen so many people as there were at the activities sWTounding the inauguration of President Jimmy Carter. He expressed regret at not seeing more of some of those from his ''neck of the woods,'' but the activities were so numerous that one was hard pressed to make them all, and it was difficult to keep in close oontact with those from home. Meeting in most instances was strictly by chance, even for that staunch Vox Democrat, Sonny Buck. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The swamps of v1rg1n cypress nd awesome stands of_ pine trees upplied longs for the first _ho~es, ber for household furrushings, d nurtured the abundai:it game at fed the people while they leared their land and secured eir homesteads. Royal land grants--small at first--were cherished. Yellowed by time and brittle with age but still clearly legible, many of these grants still remain , stored away in camelback trunks with other keepsakes of the past . A number of des cendents of these original set tlers still own and live on these 01·iginal grants. They were King's grants, awarded during the interim between the Lords Propritors' returning the colony to the King and the outbreak of the Revolution. They were defined in terms of their location , •·Georgetown District. . . Prince Frederick's Parish ...the waters of Lynches Creek .. .surrounded by vacant land." The grants were made on a headright basis--so much for each family member and sl~ve, a~ the amounts varied from time to time_ After the Revolution , when the State of South Carolina undertook steeling the backcountry, the amount of the grants was increased and they were paid for , except in the case of Bount~ Grants awarded for military service. Records which include the 1790 Census of South Carolina, show the following heads of families in the vaguely defined area we know as Prospect; John Brown, James Barr, William. Carter, James Snow Jr., James Eaddy, Sr., Jame's Eaddy, Jr., Ezekiel Gaskin, William Hannah, Hugh Hannah, James Hannah, William Johnson, Joseph Jolly, Archibald Jolly, Contfuued to Page 3 development of 1~ille and played a leading 0 ~ the development of iJl iJlgwaY· efll their own time, existence ln emitive, sheer survival a .,., ~e lot of woman was almost ~t. rnatic death sentence. ,o a;:e average woman mar1·ied among her very limited male ~oin intances at age 15, bore a ,c~~llevery 12 to 15 months, and CJii1 at about age 30. diedThe cemeteries spaced at two ee miles distance from each It thrare mute evidence not only to 'otb~rieflife of women , but the fate theheir children, fewer than l}alf of of I leved to reach maturity.

Almost every family ~d,its horror story of a child who had fallen into the open hearth or the fire at the washpot. The earliest cemeteries were no more than convenient plots on the homestead . Many of these, in which the graves are marked only with stakes or wooden slabs with a few carved words have been lost-plowed over in fields , or grown up in swamp and wood . Fishermen and hunters sometimes stumble over them. Several family cemeteries without church connections still are used and kept up and reveal in their epitaphs the early con11ec tions of the families of the men mentioned above. · Hanna Family Cemetery is the earliest of these . Its ground appears to have been broken first for the body of Hugh Hanna (or Hannah), born in 1759 in Ireland and dying 83 years later at Prospect . . An old' family cemetery is also located at Brown Town, and another at the edge of the Vox community called Eaddy-Ford for the grandson of the above named James Eaddy, Jr., and the site of a ford that must be crossed to traverse the width of the swamp. p Of the original settlers of l'ospect, and their sons, the following are known to have fought With General Francis Maron's &trny or elsewhere in the American Revolution: John Brown, James Eaddy, Sr,, James ~ddy, Jr., Samuel Eaddy, Daniel "'lYddy, William Hannah, Hugh liannah, James Hann~h. Wiiliam arsons, Austin Stone, and John rnons. Hugh Hanna married ·first tab Burrows, born about 1764, e daughter of John Burrows and Sarah Scott; second wife •mknown and third, Elizabeth Barr German descent. Unlike most of the P1 ospect settlers, ' Hugh Hanna was an active Presbyterian and an elder of Indiantown Presbyterian Church. He could wel~ h~ve been among the first of Marion s men, when that enigmatic little ''Fox'' accepted his first command at nearby Pee Dee River. According to his obituary, his memories of Marion's exploits were long a.n d detailed. William Hannah, also one of ''Marion's meri ," was born in Ireland. His wife's name is not known . His children were James, born 1763, Henry, born 1773; and Agnes Letitia, born about 1778. These three children may have had early Presbyterian indoctrination as all married Knoxes, whose work within the Presbyterian denomination is well known . Henry married Elizabeth Knox, born 1776. They moved to the Mississippi Territory where Henry Hannah was a member of the Mississippi Constitutional Convention of 1817 and of the Mississippi Legislature for 13 years. James Hannah married Martha Knox , born 1776. Agnes Letitia Hannah married John Knox , son of Samuel Knox . John Timmons, born 1740 and also of Marion 's Army , was a neighbor of the Hannahs. He married Mary Simmons. Their son William married Lydia Morgan of the Welsh Neck Baptist group of immigrants. The two sons of William Timmons and Lydia Morgan were John Morgan Timmons who founded the town of Timmonsville and married Elizabeth McCollough Myers; and William James Timmons, born 1802 , who married Elizabeth Eaddy, a granddaughter of James Eaddy, Jr. Austin Stone, born 1748 and died 1818, served with General Marion and furnished supplies. He was a large land owner and was among the Commissioners appointed March 27, 1786, for opening the navigation of Lynches and Black Creek. It appears that Austin, Stone was early instrumental .-in the spread of Methodism in the Prospect area, as the circuit riders, who were frequently replused elsewhere, found a welcome at his home . The Eaddy family engaged actively in the Revolution, with James Eaddy, Sr., serving as a suttler (supply officer>for General Nathaniel Greene's Army, and James, Jr., Samuel and Daniel supplying Marion and fighting in the army. No doubt there was much suffering in the area during the years of the American Revolution. But 1835, however, the survivors of that was had recovered sufficiently to organize and build a church, the second Methodist Church to stand in the area.

' church membership had grown from a handful of men, women and children to a roll of 113, still in most part, however, representing the original family names of Stone, Eaddy, Hanna and Carter. The response of these men to the call to arms was simple, direct and prompt. William Spious Eaddy wrote in his Civil War memors, "On Septembe·r 1, 1861, feeling the manifestation of that Southern pride and honor for our States Rights, which were being so unmercifUlly trampled upon by the Northern States, I enlisted with a Confederate Company at Indian Town, this being only two days after the surrender of Fort Clark and Hatteras, at the opening of Pamlico Sound, N. C., to General B. F . Butler. For to me it seemed the North not only opened the War between the States by sending armed vessels and troops into our peaceful harbor of Charleston, but was encroaching upon the rights of our sister states also." Eleven Prospect men became members of Williamsburg Riflemen which was organized that day, They were George W. Carter, age 42 ; Asbury B. Carter, 22, who died of disease in 1862 ; John B. Carter, 21 ; Trasvan Eaddy, 28 ; · and his brother John T. Eaddy, sons of John D. Eaddy and Elizabeth Singletary; the above named Spious Eaddy and his . brother Andrew, sons of Taylor Eaddy and Margaret Stone; Samuel R. Ard, age 35; John Brown, 30, son of Robert Brown and Mary Green ; Geroge W. Hanna, son of calvin Hanna; and Palvey T. Stone, son of Briley Ham Stone.

Y. EADDY Is the secon~ of a three-part 00 the history of the Prospect Nullifiers had no showing with Capt. . William Johnson, the Haseldens and the Coxes. The Lake voting precinct of large territory and population was over- · fought in the Revolution to lhe rights they had. struggled so 1nedly to gain; and having given · dren a fair and fertile place on Carolina soil, the earliest settlers t began to die out before the the century. Eaddy, Sr. died between 1790 , leaving two sons, James, Jr. Samuel, who became the 'tors of the large family of in this section. ' Parsons died about 1802. The ol hiS wife is unknown. His married among the Prospect y," his daughter Elizabeth ' g the wife of James Powell. Parsons married Celia Stone; married William Poston ; and married James McDaniel. The Parsons sons were David and ' Stone died about 1818, leaving · children, several of whom leading roles in the developing ity and church. Hanna, born 1759, lived to the age of 83. He was elected a elder of the Indiantown rian Church in 1819, and he and Uy remained active in that ation until the Nullification cf 1832. Samuel McGill describes the climate of the period. ''At Creek, the Union cause was in the ascendancy, and the BETSY BARR'S GRAVE ... Born Into Slavery whelmingly in the strength of the Nullifiers. The upper and middle portions, by far the most populous, were controlled by the leaders, A. I. Graham and Samuel E. Graham, Cockfields, McAlisters, Matthews, Rodgers and Sauls; while the lower and eastern portion was controlled by such Union men as Mr. James Graham, Singletarys and Browns; and along Lynches Creek by Stones, Eaddys and Carters." He goes on to note that the Union cause found advocates in every voting precinct in Williamsburg District and that in many of them there were divisions of sentiment within families, especially among those of Revolutionary stock. It was an era of violence, and men commonly settled their differences with their fists if not in still more violent ways . McGill describes such a battle, " ... the greatest fisticuff fight within the memory of the oldest citizens occurred at the Indiantown muster field just before the Nullification excitement ·between James Cooper and young Hugh Hanna, both residents of the Lake section. Cooper having cursed old Mr. Hugh Hanna, it was resented by his eldest son , who declared he would not , allow an old man to be cursed. These two young men were of equally large stature and proportionate limbs and strength . They met, stripped and entered the ring and soon were at their best, first one and then the other on the ground, made so by heavy blows. During this bloody fight, · Col. David D. Wilson, then captain of the Indiantown Militia , walked away several times and returned to ask the bystanders to part them. The fight still continuing, he again came up, and in piteous tones he begged, 'Do men, for eri God Sake, part them.' When last the combantants were on the ground, Hanna was alone able to crawl upon Cooper, who said, 'Take him off,' in a whisper so low that his second had to put his ear to Cooper's mouth to catch his words ." This disagreement caused part of Hugh Hanna's family to withdraw from the Presbyterian Chruch, and they later united with Prospect Methodist Church. In the years of peace after the American Revolution, the sons of the original settlers enlarged their land holdings into the thousands of acres and further secured their homesteads. The plantations were almost entirely selfsufficient. Grain- corn, wheat, oats, barley, and rice--were planted for home use. Livestock roamed the swamps. Cattle furnished leather for shoes and saddles. Sheep were raised for wool and cotton for cloth. Hogs were raised for meat and lard. Half-wild fowl were the com mon chickens, ducks, turkeys and guineas. They were plucked for feathers that went into feather beds, and their eggs were used incookery or saved for " setting. " The swamps and woods were full of deer, squirrels, rabbits and birds, and the men were excellent shots. After the introduction of cotton as a " money " crop, the farmers invested in more slaves. The original settlers had owned few, the records showing that owning more than three or four slaves marked a man of affluence. By 1850 slaves holdings had increased. Thomas Eaddy owned 77 slaves, perhaps a record for this particular place. A sufficient measure of security had been achieved by 1835 to enable the families to combine resources to organize and build a church. Although Indiantown Presbyterian Church was accessible if not convenient, Presbyterianism, already ruling elsewhere in Williamsburg, failed to appeal to the Lynches Creek populace. Bishop Francis Asbury had earlier found acceptance by Austin Stone, and circuit riders had visited the area regularly. Methodism gained a following along the lower reaches of Lynches Creek, with the first church organized and built at Muddy Creek about 1822. Prospect followed about 12 years later. Methodist churches were also organized and built at Trinity (the Johnsonville area), and Old Johnsonville. The Prospect Methodist Church, simply constructed in the typical meeting house style of the period, stood on land given by James Eaddy III and his mother, the former Elizabeth McDaniel, daughter of James McDaniel and Isabella Parsons, "to William Johnson, ·James · snow, Edeard D. Eaddy, Briley H. Stone and James H. Stone, trustees." Briley Ham Stone and James H. Stone were the grandsons of Austin and Elizabeth Stone. Edward D. Eaddy was the son of James Eaddy, Jr . and Mary Drake. Early Prospecf Methodist church records have vanished, if they ever existed at all. However, records from 1853 have been saved, listing not only membership, but reflecting the manners and morals of the times. This church was a powerful force. Members were "turned out" or warned for such a vague offense as · ''walking ungodly," while supporting or recommending a bar room at Johnsonville, stealing a plow, bastardly and drunkenness were dealt with by expulsion. The community florished and the church grew. From a meager enrollment of 29 males and 57 females in 1853, membership increased to 59 males and 68 females in 1860. The 1853 membership is of interest, indicating the close family relationships of the period. Listed as Class Leaders are Briley Ham Stone and Ai.istin Stone III. Other male members were James H. Stone, Jasper Bartell, Randall McDaniel, George W. Carter, John D. Eaddy, John Stone, Clark Eaddy, Jacob Adeison, James Ard, William J . Tilton , Isaish Prosser, Robert Eaddy, Leonard Baxley, Thomas Altman, Job Prosser, James Keightley, Thomas Stone, Morgan Carter, William J. Stone, Taylor Eaddy, Elias Mors, James Carter, Continued to Page 3 PROSPECT METHODIST CHURCH .•. Organized And Built In 1835 The Prospect Continued from Page 1 Theron Eaddy, Hugh L. Graham, Belin Ard, and Reddick Poston. In most cases, female members can be identified in their mother, daughter or wife relationship to the above. Contrary to popular belief, illiteracy was not universal, and schools, while peripatetic and of short duration, were devoted to the fundamentals of reading, writing and arithmetic. Maps of the preCivil War period show many one-room schools. Near the southeastern ''run'' of Lynches Creek were schools at Red Hill (Johnsonville), Paisley Swamp, and Deep Creek. Lt. William Hasleden of the Civil War is known to have taught at Red Hill. John Gotea in an unpublished manuscript writes of having James Stone as his teacher on Paisley Swamp. Robert James Eaddy, son of Edward D. Eaddy and Mary Bartell, left his Deep Creek roll of 1849 on which he lists the following pupils; Abel Foxworth, William Bartell, Charlotte Cox, Peter Atkinson, W. J. Atlman, John Altman, J. 'C ollins, D. L. Powell, Andrew Poston, John Prosser, James Harrington, W. Patterson, S. Cox, Silvester Bartell, William H. Stone, and A. Powell. Robert James Eaddy was also the author of a mathematics textbook. Dr. McGill mentions a school of some distinction above the Indiantown church on the Paisley road that was taught .by John Hanna, son of Hugh Hanna. McGill adds that ''Mr. Hanna was a young man of much promise and died a short time after his engagement with the .. :sch~' � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Long since gone are the doctor and drug store, the hotel, the railroad depot, and the stores. The only store building left has been emptied of its merchandise. In the front corner stands a small room which houses the Post Office, recently renovated with new panelling and complete with colorful sheer curtain panels at the windows. The United States flag flys above the flag pole all day, but the Post Office is only open three hours a day, from 8 to 10 a.m. and from 3:30 to 4:36 in the afternoon. There are no boxes for rent, since the building is only open during these hours and customers would not have access to their boxes, but all other services are available that can be had at the most . sophisticated Post Office.

In his journal of 1823, William Bartell mentions the following family names : Altma n, Ard, Belin, Bartell, Brown , Burkette , .Coleman, Cox, Eaddy, Godda rd , Hanna, Harrell, Johnson, McDaniel , Parsons, Poston, Powell, P rosser, Singletary, Smith, Stone, and others , such as Knox , for instance, no longer familiar in the area . Westward migrations , separating families or removing entire families, were not infrequent. Most of the families named above were related by marriage. Visiting , quilting parties, log rollings, deer drives, house a nd barn raisings drew families together. ''Frolics' ' at which dancing and drinking were the main entertainment relieved the tedium a nd auster ity of pioneer life. By the early 1830's Methodism had become a n active influence - and both dancing and drinking were discouraged by community religious leaders . and condemned by the circuit riders who traveled through holding meetings, usually at Dottson Stone's. Bar tell mentions attending religious services at Muddy Creek, probably a t the Haselden plantation , and other meetings at Dottson Stone's. The rise of Methodism in the area has not been fully explored and needs further research. Indiantown Presbyterian Church held a few families . The Presbyterian Church at Aimwell closed its doors about 1822, but the cemetery continued in use. Bartell writes on Jan. 15, 1823, that he ''went to Pee Dee River to burial of Captain Daniel Stone at Aim well meeting house." The life style of the planters were oriented toward river, swamp and the forested land. The river were the arteries that permitted contact with the n1arket and port at Georgetown, Continued to Page 9 1 e t e e I) i 1 ) Ox Cart And Team: The cart as shown above witn a team .of oxen was the only mode of transportation except the river until the coming of the automobile in the late ,19th century.

The men fished every day possible. The catches were cleaned and preserved in brine. Bartell, who had mar ried Senea, daughter of Austin and E lizabeth Stone , had r emarkable ingenuity and industriousness attributable perhaps to his German ancestry . He does all the things that other fa rmers do in order to survive. But he has other skills. He makes fiddles . Music was essentia l to existence. He r ep a irs clocks, watches , guns, and farm bells.
