THE SETTLEMENT OF HORRY
a Brief and Interesting History
of the Pioneers of the "Indc-
pendent Republic"

MRS. F. II. Hyatt in Colubla
State.)
While South Caorlina was under
the royal government, during the
administration of Gov. Robert John
son, in 1882, vigorous measures
were adopted for the more speedy
settlement of the province.
You remember that Just previous
to this time the territory of South
Carolina had been curtailed and
that it was not only territory that
she lost, but the population was
greatly reduced also; and the pop
ulation was now confined almost
entirely to the SeacoaSt
Now, Gov. Johnson was directed
to make out IL townships in square
plants on the sides of the rivers,
each consisting of 10000 acres, and
to divide the lands within them in
to shares of so acres for each man,
woman and child that should come
over to improve them. Each town
ship was to form a parish, and all
the Inhabitants river. So soon as
the parish increased to the size of
100 Families it was to have the
right to send two members of their
own election of the assembly, and to
enjoy the same privileges as the
other parishes already established.
Each settler was to pay four shil-
nngs GA cents) a year for every
hundred acres of land, excepting
the first ten years, during which
they were to have the land rent
free. Eleven townships were mark
ed out-two On the river Altamaha,
two Cn the Savannah, two on the
Santee. two on the Pee Dee. one
on the Waccamaw, one on the

Wateree and one on the Black
. river
After these townships were laid
out great inducements were offered
to settlers, and the population be-
san to flow into the up-country
There were many immigrants from
Germany, Holland, Switzerland,
ireland, Scotland and Wales.
The township that was laid out
On the Waccamaw was called King
ston. 1t derived its name from the
man who first settled there.
In 1901 the territory was organ
lied into the county of Horny, so
named in honor of Gen. Peter Hor-
ry, who distinguished himself in
tho Revolutionary war and was a
Drigadier general under Gen Fran
cis Marion.
Thus we find that Horny, which
forms the northeast cornor of the
State and fronts on the ocean, and
is the fifth county in size in South
Carolina, was, in the original di-

and contains 20 or 25 houses and

The census of 1899 gave this dis.
trict 2,606 Inhabitants, of which
7Os were slaves. The census OF
1920 makes the population as fol

making an increase in 90 years OF

Ing this time emigrated to the west.
The inhabitants were mostly en-
Gaged in cultivating the soil. which
Is rich and highly productive. Cot
ton. corn. rice. wheat, potatoes. peas
and pumpkins are the productions.
Nearly all provisions raised were
consumed i'll the district. The price
OF labor and the cost of living were
very low. Board is quoted as from
50 to SIS per month, according to
fare.
The rivers of the district were
naTigable and the waters were full
OF fish. Of game, there were deer,
wild turkey, ducks of various kinds,
Lesides foxes, wildcats and a few
hears. Hunting and FISHING were
tho chief amusements.
We find that the poor, of whom
there were few, were supported by a
tax on the general tax.
There were private schools and
public or free schools established
very early.
The Baptists were the most num-
erous religious sect. next the Meth
odists, then the Presbyterians. The
people generally were moral and re-
ligious in their habits.
Many of the citizens distinguish
ed themselves during the Revolu-
tionary war, for their whig princi-
pies and devotion to the cause OF
liberty.

A Drunkard's Dream.


(Contributed.)
Almost in sight of the eternal world
I paused to make survey,
While shrieks and curses were at
me hurled,
And demons thronged the way.
In flames of fire I saw my doom,
All hope forever gone.
No mortal eye could pierce the
gloom,
Though Satan beckoned on.
An awful lake, all red with blood
Lay beyond the gates of hell,
And men were sinking beneath the
flood,
In countless numbers no tongue
can tell.
Oh! the horrors of the night,
As fingered at the verge OF
death,
Where every prospect ends in blight,
And pain eternal is not a breath,
Though Satan's gates were left ajar,
For me to enter in,
A warning voice yet from afar.
Calls me off the haunts of sin.
No longer by Satan smiles be-
guiled
His rugged paths to roam,
The hand that followed through the
wilds
Will gently and kindly lead me
home
With faltering steps | turned away,
Amid the scenes of black despair,
And in the dawn of a brighter day,
fingered no longer there.
To the hills of refuge / made haste,
My wandering feet to rest.
Though / stumble in the race,
hope to reach the highest crest.
The terrible warning | shall heed,
Though coming in a dream,
A life of vice no longer lead,
This side deaths cold, chilly
Stream. S.
