                <text>This photo was taken in front of the Johnsonville Drug Company, circa 1920. The man pictured is Ashby McElveen, a druggist at the pharmacy - the girl is currently unknown. He was from Lake City. Ashby purchased a Drug Store in Sumter, SC in 1923 and remained there the rest of his life. His brother Robbie McElveen worked for the Farmers and Merchant Bank in Johnsonville and married a local girl named Cornelia Cockfield. They moved to Lake City after marrying in the early 1920's. This photo was provided by Ashby's grandson, Wilson McElveen. You can make out some of the old buildings on Broadway in the background.</text>

or

the state reveals that South
Co.rolina bas had an increase of
13.7 per cent ln revenues for the
current fIBcal year, according
to Re p . Odell Venters of
Johnsonville.
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. Federal revenue sharing
Is allocated on the basis of
population, per capita income,
and the local tax effort with

residents can look forward to a

the county s upply bill passes the

The increase, coupled with a
cut in county revenue sharing
funds, means total county ex·

remain at about the same level
for the next fiscal year.
The proposed five mill in·

$80,000 for the county according
to Senator Frank McGill .

                <text>Homestead built by Thomas Franklin Hanna (1881-1938) &amp; Nekoda Laharp Altman (1882-1941). Thomas was the son of Franklin Evander "Vander" Hanna and Julia Ann Grier. Nekoda was the daughter of Daniel Webster Altman and Margaret Elizabeth "Maggie" Stone. This homestead was on a farm which was part of an original land grant to Hugh Hanna, great grandfather of Thomas Hanna and the first Hanna to settle in the Johnsonville area. The Hannas eventually built a new 2-story home across the field to handle their growing family. &#13;
Thomas carved his and Nekoda's initials into at least one of the timbers under the house to mark the original home. There was also a family rumor that some of the bricks used as the foundation for the house were used as ballast for ships arriving in America. Thomas and Nekoda's second son, Arles Timmons Hanna and his wife Violet Carter Hanna later occupied the home. Violet was the daughter of Morgan Ham Carter and Octavia Elizabeth Stone from the Vox Community. Arles and Violet married in 1927. Their 3 children, Evander Franklin, Yvonner Leta "Vonnie," and Jimmy Earl each grew up on the farm. Arles and Violet built a new home closer to the Vox Highway around 1950. Violet died in 1984, Arles in 1986.&#13;
Because the old home was vacant after Arles and Violet moved, Vonnie and Joe Dukes moved in when they were first married in 1954. Even as late as 1956, the house did not have an indoor bathroom and the family had to brave the weather when using the old outhouse on property. They jokingly referred to how easy it was to see chickens walking around under the house because the gaps in the floorboards were so wide before they moved to a newly built home in 1962.&#13;
The site around the old house was a popular spot for family activities. Vander, Vonnie, and Jimmy's children and grandchildren often camped out and shot fireworks on the property for Thanksgiving and New Year through the 1980s and 1990s.&#13;
The Old House remained vacant and deteriorated over the years until it was bulldozed and burnt in the early 1990s to make way for a new home on the property.</text>

                <text>Thomas Lynch, Jr. (August 5, 1749 – 1779) was a signer of the United States Declaration of Independence as a representative of South Carolina; his father was unable to sign the Declaration of Independence because of illness.&#13;
&#13;
He was born at Prince George Parish, Winyah, in what is now Georgetown, South Carolina, the son of Thomas Lynch and his wife, the sister of Isaac Motte. He was schooled at the Indigo Society School in Georgetown before his parents sent him to England, where he studied at Eton College and at Gonville &amp; Caius College, Cambridge.[1] He studied law at the Middle Temple in London, returning to America in 1772.&#13;
&#13;
After his father's death due to a stroke, his widowed mother married South Carolina Governor William Moultrie. Thomas' sister Elizabeth Lynch married James Hamilton; one of their sons was James Hamilton, Jr., who became governor in the state in 1830.&#13;
&#13;
Lynch, Jr. became a company commander in the 1st South Carolina regiment in 1775 and was elected to the Continental Congress. He was taken ill at the end of 1779. He and his wife sailed for respite to St. Eustatius in the West Indies. Their ship disappeared at sea in a storm and was never found. No one ever saw him again.&#13;
&#13;
Before the voyage, Lynch had made a will, stipulating that heirs of his female relatives must change their surname to Lynch in order to inherit the family estate, a rice plantation. The family estate, Hopsewee, still stands in South Carolina.</text>
