Perhaps the most significant of the ea rly Brown Town bui ldings, this press numbers among a very few of its type r e maining today. . Beneath Cotton Gin of the Brown Town cotton gin reveals wooden cogwheels '8d rafters. The gin was a horse powered device as Is ~n wagon. Evidences of a long-vanished way of life still drowse at Brown Town. They are scattered widely over an ar ea which at its zenith as a plantation extended over more than 10,000 acres of swamp and farm land lying between Lynches Creek and Lynches Lake. A casual drive along the. Johnsonville-Lake City high will alert only the most perceptive traveler to hints of the his tory and age of this family community . One may notice first that the land is low and water stands in the many ditches that drain fields and woods a s well as roads . He may then note the num ber of very old buildings peeping out , as if in retreat from the noise and movement of the busy highway. from the background woods . Near the pond beside a recent developme nt--a s ka ting rink--seems to have been the plantation comm issa ry . By this pond was a water-powered gri ts mill and blacksmith shop owned by Anson Brown . Perhaps 1n addition to plows , horseshoes and other farming implements that fami ly members were clever at devising, the blacksmith also turned out the handsome locks and hinges still to be seen on the older buildings . On this plantation were also a steam-powered sawmill, shingle mill , and brick kiln that employed clay from the plantation soil. A cane mill ground the sugar cane that flourished luxuriantly in the lowlands into juice that was boiled down into syrup. The smokehouse, one of the oldest buildings still s tanding, is as strong and solid, except for its shingles, as it was when first built. It has its timbers joined by vertical pegs and precise notching . A hand made metal lock still seems to work. Hogs flourished in the river swamps. The lean hams, sides and shoulders slowly cured over the hickory fire that burned in this sm11ll building further enhanced the independence of the plantation, which not only furnished its own building materials, but its own food .

The intricate hand carved mechanisms seem mi racles of both utility and beauty . A nearby storage house , also pegged with prec1s1on , has proportions and craftmanship of unusual artistry . A drive toward Indiantown on the lake side of the plantation tempts one to stop and knock on doors , indicating as they do the development of the original family unit and the passing of time . The family cen1etery , the ground of which was broken for Robert Brown 's body , is on this side of the area , Harlee 's Map of 1820 shows three Brown homes on Lynches Lake just above the Indiantown road . In the area, according to the map. were Cockfields , Singletarys, and Camerons. Other records show that Eaddys, Hannas, and Cart.ers were also located in this area .

He adds, "These gentlemen had held a good old Irish discussion with sticks, plead guilty , paid their fin.e s, and doubtless regarded their money well spent." Maintaining roads and bridges was the responsibility of families who were dependent on them for travel. They would get together as often as necessary to work on roads and repair bridges . A Brown and a Cockfield had a difference of opinion on the last bridge toward Indiantown and Cockfield was thrown into the water. The bridge was afterwards known as " Cockfield's Bridge." Young men on the plantation prized and worked toward developing physical strength. Their prowess was demonstrated by William Preston Brown who could pick up a 500 pound bale of cotton and put it in a wagon. Arthur Brown easily lifted a 200 pound bag of fertilizer under each arm and carried them into the field.

''Palmetto Company·· which will reenact the firing on the of the west, Feb. 7. Only 55 cadets were selected to participate in the Bicentennial event reenacting the opening shots of the Civil • War. Citadel cadets fired those shots on the steamer, STAR OF THE WEST, from a battery of 24-poWld siege guns emplaced on Morris Island. They scored three hits and drove the ship away before she could deliver her troops and supplies to besiege Ft. Sumter. The 17 shots were the first of the Civil War. preceeding the firing on Ft. Sumter by more than three months. Since the firing site on Morris Island has eroded and the public could not view the spectacle there, the firing will actually take place from Charleston's Brittlebank Park • 01 on the Ashley River adjacent to The Citadel campus. The Feb. 7 date is a month off the actual I 15th anniversary of the original skirmish which took place on Jan. 9. 1861 . That change was effected because The Citadel Corps of Cadets was on furlough in January. The cadets are outfitted with authentic Civil War uniforms, vintage rifles, and cannon that are authentic replicas. The weapons are operable and will be fired during the dramatic reenactment timed to a historically accurate script. The Palmetto Company has been drilling with Confederate carmon and rifles several times weekly since November. It is necessary for the unit to perfect the Manual of 1861 and learn the necessary precautions and techniques for safely firing the weapons. The ship, actually a Gray Line tour boat, will be decked out as a Civil War ship, complete with paddle wheel. • The reenactment, sophomore year at The Citadel commencing at 11 a . m., is where he is enrolled in the Air expected to draw many 14"'orce ROTC program and is in business spectators, some of whom will majoring be wearing / .;twnPs of that administration.

Cox said he has worked hard for the city during his four years at the head of government, and wants to continue his efforts to make Johnsonville a better place to live. Cox said the job of mayor is not an easy task, and is a full time job for anyone who attempts it. Being retired, he feels that he had adequate time to devote to the duties of the office. He said he is aware there have been criticistns, but noted • that anyone who serves in the position of mayor is going to be criticized even when he knows he is doing the very best he can do. Mayor Cox said he has helped the townspeople to make life a little better with things tow11 had never enjoyed before his a · ·stration began. He has worked very hard to keep taxes down in the towr1, he said. ''Presently,'' he said, ''Johnsonville has the lowest tax rate of any city in South Carolina and I intend to keep it that . way.'' Cox feels that a low tax rate will encourage more people to move into the area.

Cox .said the town tries to stay ''on top'' of . these grants and gel ever · in grants that is available. This way the tow11 does not have. to y large loans, which accounts for the present sound financial con.. dition of the tow11. He invites all citizens to go out and view the sewerage plant, which is one of the most modei 11 to be found anywhere. The mayor is well aware of 0 the criticism concerni.ng the sanitation department. At the time the service was so poor, council's hands were tied and they could not help themselves, according to Cox. He said the health department closed the du111p and they were forced to secure the services of a private contractor. They have now purchased a new truck and pakcer and the service should be improved. If anyone has a complaint about the service, he invites them to call the clerk's office and let them know what the problem is. , Cox said at anytitne any citizen has a question concerning the finances of the town, they are welcomed to review the records or books to see how the town stands . financially. He says he wants them to know what has done with the towns' money. The books, he said, are open five days a week during reg11lar office hours, and anyone with a question or interest may check the records during these hours. Cox was born and reared in J onville and he feels that be is acquainted with th~ needs of the people, and pledges hi& service if re-elected to the office of 1nayor.

There are yet some heirlooms of linen pieces still held in the area that was woven at hom e from flax grown on the plantation. Some cotton was grown for plantation purposes only. Cotton was later to become the main crop. Soon, the planting of indigo was begun. Slaves were brought in for the cultivation of indigo and after five years of growing it, prosperity began to come to the land. They were able to bring in more slaves and buy better blooded horses from the profits made selling the indigo for dye. Nearly every plantation had its indigo vat a nd some can be seen today. Later, rice was grown in the low areas of this county, but soon gave way to cotton. In the home there was much industry going on as the ' women made their own soap from hog fat and ashes. Besides weaving the wool and flax, they later started spinning the cotton for their household use. In the winter months of short daylight hours, they sewed patches of cloth together by candle light into colorful quilts for warmth on their beds and to help brighten their dark, dismal houses. They made their own candles for light in their homes from beeswa x, by dripping a stri ng into the melted wax until it wa s the size they wanted. Later they used tin molds.

A rich merchant from Charleston, who also had a rice plantation on Black Mingo, established a trading post there in 1750 and called it Willtown. He exchanged rum and molasses and tape and buttons, for the cow hides, deer skins and furs from the people and the Indians, Willtown was on the post route which Benjamin Franklin established from Savannah, Georgia to Maine. The first post office in this area was at Willtown. It became known as one of the most popular stopping points in South Carolina . The Indians were growing tobacco when the settlers arrived. They taught them to grow it and soon tobacco was being shipped out to Europe from this area. This industry still exists today. Soon, the men began to clear the forests, using what they needed for themselves and selling the remainder . On the swamp lands of the descendents of one peioneer, Benjamin Britton, there is evidence of the industry of getting out wood shingles by hand, to cover the roofs of buildings. Few wooden shingles are seen today as modern industry grew into manufacturing plants. by Benj an11n · Bn•t ton and 1 his son. Thomas M.

Ga1nble has been termed significant by Stephen Smith, resotration consultant with the South Carolina Department of Archives and History. ·Architectural det·ans suggest an eighteenth century 0rigin and reveal structural qualities unique for the area. Among unique aspects of the house are the steeply pitched roof, concealed stairway, four carved mantels and large central room which walls are constructed of 4'' x 12'' heart pine boards finishe~ on both sides and laid horizontally. The ends of the 4'' x 12'' boards are dovetailed in the -corners and· are tightly fitted together with wooden pegs presenting, perhaps, the most unique feature of the house. Br!ckwork of English bond construction, a six foot square chimney, exposed ceiling bea1ns edged with deli<;ate mouldings and hand wrought hinges are additional distinctive features. • Mr. Smith· expressed interest lD having the house nominated · for inclusion in the National Registry of Historic Places and desire for its preservation. at the org~al locati~n. The Hemingway Bicentennial Co1nmittee at its final meeting expressed interest, also, in preserving the unique structure. The Cotnmittee was receptive to the idea ot the formation of. local ~storical society embracing portions of Williamsburg, Florence and Georgetown Counties which society would be charged with preserving historic buildings and land1narks of the area.
