HISTORY OF WILLIAMSBURG
of syrup, 38,137 pounds of grapes, 1,706 pounds of figs, 4,876 pounds of pecans produced and harvested.
For more than a century Williamsburg has lived and moved and had its being in cotton. The cotton crop has been for this period of time the barometer for Williams- burg. The tobacco money that flooded the County in 1918 was regarded as "pin money" and was used in riotous living. Men bought high powered automobiles and gold bound talking machines. Women spent their part for jewel studded slipper heels, parlez-vous petticoats, and Poiret gowns. There were, however, some few men in the County who took advantage of these money floods and saved. This County is fundamentally a mixture of Scotch- Irish and French Huguenots and both of these races have always realized that hard times will come.
Following closely on this period of unparalleled pros- perity in material things, there came "Deflation," two long rainy seasons and the boll weevil. Any one of these three might have brought financial gloom to Williamsburg, but concurrent as they were and concomitant as they seemed, they produced a condition in Williamsburg about which the most presistent pessimist could not complain. The moneyed men of Williamsburg declared that they had passed through panics and however much they had suf- fered from them they would ever thereafter welcome a panic in preference to "Deflation." It rained almost every day during July and August 1920 and 1921 and these exces- sive rains gradually injured the tobacco crops and created just the climatic condition most favorable to the ravaging boll weevil. For many years cotton planters in Williams- burg had read accounts of the fearful destruction wrought by this little pest that had crossed the Rio Grande River from Mexico into Texas and had been making its way northward leaving cotton famine in its wake. One day early in July, 1921, the cotton planters realized that the boll weevil was here. There was dole in Astolat and well

there may have been. In 1920, Williamsburg produced thirty-seven thousand bales of cotton. In 1921, it pro- duced two thousand seven hundred. Besides all this, the tobacco produced was very light in weight and its price was less than eight cents per pound. Pessimistic preachers were fulsome on dry goods boxes in Williams- burg. "We are ruined" and "I told you so" could be heard from morn till noon, and from noon till dewy eve, and from dewy eve until far into the night.
"Blackberry time" had been for ages blissful negro days until the boll weevil came. Some joker started the story that somewhere once upon a time a mother boll weevil laid some eggs in some blackberries, which blackberries some negroes ate, and those negroes immediately died. This story was heard by every Williamsburg negro and there- after the blackberry season became a period of mourning in all the land. Uncle Solomon Wilson said, "Boll weebil bite outen de cotton boll-hit die; boll weebil bite outen de nigger-he die. Nigger, let dem blackberries 'lone."
Negroes and superstitious whites believed the boll weevil a curse of God and were exceedingly doubtful about combating the pest. Some subtle negro, however, suc- ceeded in satisfying these ignorant ones that placing poison for destroying the insect, under orders from em- ployers, absolved them from the evil of "gwine 'ginst Gawd." It is remarkable how far the superstitious element was aroused by the boll weevil all over South Carolina. The Governor of the State, by proclamation, set apart Sunday, June 10, 1923, as a day of prayer and supplication to God to stay the destroying power of this little insect. This day was so observed by many congregations in Williams- burg.
It will be remembered that in the darkest days of the War of the Revolution in Williamsburg there came an hour when these Scotch-Irish gathered together in little groups, looked seriously into each others' faces, and some

one said "something must be done." After the price of cotton had dropped from forty-two cents per pound in 1920 to nine cents in 1921 and its production in the County had fallen more than ninety per centum in a single twelve- month, and the tobacco crop, when planted they expected to produce eight hundred pounds an acre and receive thirty cents per pound, actually produced four hundred pounds per acre which they sold at about eight cents per pound ; these same Scotch-Irish gathered together in small groups and some one said, "something must be done."
In the fall of 1921, the Williamsburg County Fair Asso- ciation offered a prize for the best display of various articles produced on a farm in the County. Young Henry W. Haselden, of Hemingway, who cultivated the Lieu- tenant Haselden farm of eighty acres, won that prize. His exhibit showed the following articles produced on that eighty acres that year: four varieties of corn, long and short staple cotton, oats, rye, sorghum, peas, wheat, rib- bon cane, rice, soy and velvet and soja beans, Irish and sweet potatoes, tobacco, watermelons, cantaloupes, squash, cucumbers, pumpkins, okra, gourds, hops, hay, fodder, pecans, acorns, hickory nuts, walnuts, rutabagas, peanuts, chufas, mulberries, egg plants, collards, mustard, hot and sweet peppers, carrots, radishes, beets, figs, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, lima beans, string beans, cabbage, artichokes, sugar corn, pie squash, grapes, grape preserves and jelly, grape acid, canned and preserved pears, canned and pre- served apples, plum jelly, apple butter, peanut butter, blackberry and cherry and orange and lemon jelly, pepper hash, sweet pepper pickle, cucumber and pear and peach pickle, hams, butter, sausage, lard, eggs from hens, guineas, turkeys, and ducks, apples, peaches, pears, grapes, Jap- anese persimmons, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, cured pork and dairy products of all kinds.
All of these things were well arranged and exhibited in a booth and naturally attracted much attention. Men

looked over the things and remembered that they them- selves had produced on their farms that very year some things that young Haselden had not. They talked about what Haselden's eighty acres had grown and knew that he had marketed $6,000.00 worth of produce from his farm that year. They realized that all of the things Hasel- den showed, and more, could be grown in marketable quantities at a profit on any small farm in Williamsburg County. And they found out that Haselden was born in 1897, the youngest of seven sons and one of twelve chil- dren of J. P. and Martha Donnahue Haselden ; that he had received only the common school education afforded by the old Johnsonville school ; that he had never been away from home in his life except to serve in the World War; that this youngster was of good old average Williamsburg blood and breeding. They thought about that $6,000.00 farm income, besides surplus products saved in sufficient quan- tities for the following year, and remembered the low prices of cotton and tobacco that year.
In Haselden's and competing exhibits in that 1921 County Fair were a hundred things declaring "something can be done." Williamsburg realized that it had depended on cotton for more than a hundred years and that the average negro and the thriftless white would find it difficult to place their faith in anything else. It was determined to fight the boll weevil in every way to conquer the insect, but anyway starvation was impossible in this favored land and prosperity was comparatively easy with- out cotton. Every conceivable means for fighting the boll weevil was utilized. Some of them were fanciful inven- tions-calcium arsenate dusted on the young cotton plant, or placed thereon in combination with molasses, was most frequently used. There was more than one man in the County who took Uncle Caesar's advice about raising cotton under boll weevil influence, which was, "Plant 'um early, work 'um fast." These men produced cotton suc-

cessfully in 1922, without using poisons. The old story of the father who told his son he had hidden a great treasure in his vineyard, one could not help recalling, when he saw Williamsburg farmers during the fall and winter of 1922-23 clearing off the hedges and ditchbanks in order to destroy hibernating boll weevil. On these cleared hedges and ditchbanks rows of cotton were planted in 1923. Just how many bales of cotton these theretofore uncultivated places will produce cannot now be counted. The boll weevil invaded Coffee County, Georgia, several years ago and some of its citizens seemed to believe all was lost. A few years later a monument at the county seat was erected to the boll weevil for that the little pest had taught the county how many things it could produce at a profit and how vain a thing depending on cotton alone could prove. The coming of the boll weevil has already taught Wil- liamsburg the same lesson-and more. Its people have been driven to diversification of farm products, something that the Clemson College Extension workers found pos- sible to teach but few. One of the most beneficent results of the boll weevil plague has been the convincing of a majority of the farmers of the County that they do not know all things and that even they may learn something that their fathers did not tell them.
Road building began in Williamsburg in 1920 when the National Highway was projected through this County from North to South. Later, real highways from East to West were constructed, and then others. The United States Government furnished half the cost of building this road from Cades to Manning, the first undertaken. It was astonishing to see the number of landowners along this way who resisted the project with all their power. Three years later, all parts of the County were pleading for modern highways.
The building of Murray's Ferry bridge over the Santee, connecting Williamsburg with the South, in August 1923,
545
GENERAL PROGRESS
was one of the most important acts in the history of the County. This bridge had been badly needed for a century, yet when the county delegations of Charleston, Berkeley, and Williamsburg had the bill passed making this project materialize, a large number of people in each of the three counties breathed vengeance against their delegations. These people, however, soon realized the wisdom of their legislators and everybody approved before the completion of the bridge. Hugh Mccutchen was senator, and W. H. Welch, S. C. Eaddy, and S. A. Graham composed the Wil- liamsburg County delegation in the legislature when the Santee River bridge bill was passed in 1920. On the Charleston delegation at that time as a member of the House of Representatives was D. Arthur Brockinton, a native of Williamsburg. Senator Arthur Young and Rep- resentative William Burguson, of Charleston, and Repre- sentative W. H. Welch, of Williamsburg, were the three active men of these delegations in securing the appropri- ations that made the Santee Bridge possible.
The Santee Bridge Commission was composed of three men from Charleston, two from Berkeley, and two from Williamsburg. This County's representatives on the com- mission were Peter G. Gourdin and Samuel A. Graham. Mr. Gourdin, a civil engineer of rank in his profession, with a first hand knowledge of Eastern South Carolina, physically and economically, proved a most valuable mem- ber of this commission. Mr. Graham had been interested in having a bridge built over the Santee at Murray's Ferry for many years; and during its construction in 1922 and 1923 gave it almost daily personal attention. His plan- tation is near the bridge and his home was always open to the commission.
The land owners of the Kingstree (or Broad) Swamp section of Williamsburg and Florence Counties had the territory incorporated in 1923 and voted about $200,000.00 in bonds for draining their lands according to the survey
546
HISTORY OF WILLIAMSBURG
made by P. G. Gourdin, C. E. When completed, this will be one of the largest drainage systems in the state, with the main drain canal running from Kingstree to Olanta, a distance of 21 miles, and necessary laterals to drain smaller adjoining swamps. This project will give approximately 50,000 acres of fertile virgin land for ag- ricultural purposes, and will doubtless result in stimulat- ing the draining of a million other acres in Eastern South Carolina. Mr. Gourdin has been working quietly but effectively for many years for the consummation of drainage systems, and the indications are that his dreams will come "true." W. E. Nesmith and J. N. Mckenzie, of Williamsburg, and J. C. Young, of Florence, are the Commissioners of the Kingstree Swamp Drainage Dis- trict, and have had the work begun.
Out of the storm and stress of financial conditions of 1922 there came the Tobacco Growers Co-operative Asso- ciation and the Cotton Growers Association, designed for the intelligent marketing of these two commodities. Ever since 1800, practically all of the cotton produced in Wil- liamsburg had been placed in the market within sixty days, during the months of September and October, of each succeeding year. The Cotton Growers Association was designed to collect the cotton of individual planters and to distribute it into the markets of the world as needed.
All of the tobacco grown in Williamsburg until 1922 had been sold during the month of August and the first week in September. Buyers came to the markets every year from North Carolina and Virginia and forced the tobacco planters to cure and sell all of their crop within sixty days. Tobacco sales warehouses were then "hurrah grounds" where tobacco buying was more of a gambling game than anything else, with everything in favor of the buyer. Farmers rushed their products from their curing barns to the sales floors, knowing little of the grade or value of their offerings, and buyers always played "safe."
547
GENERAL PROGRESS
In 1922, a majority of the tobacco planters of Williams- burg joined the Co-operative Association and sold their tobacco through its agency. W. K. McIntosh was man- ager and W. T. Wilkins, assistant manager, for the local branch. There was no tobacco sold in Kingstree in 1922 except through the Association. Two independent sales warehouses were operated in Kingstree in 1923. Wil- liamsburg tobacco farmers united with the Co-operative Association largely through the influence and labors of E. C. Epps, director in the Association under appoint- ment by the Governor of South Carolina. Mr. Epps is a successful banker. He has seen for many years the fear- ful results coming from individual unorganized sales of farm products and believes the economic salvation of to- bacco and cotton growers abides in co-operative market- ing. Since he accepted appointment as director in the association, Mr. Epps has become a crusading co-opera- tive association worker. He has made speeches all over the tobacco district in South Carolina and has proven his right to leadership in the association in the State.
In the beginning of the World War, wise men planted things on every available lot of land in the country. One saw tomatoes and beans growing close by governors' mansions in many of the capital cities of the country. In the beginning of 1923, Williamsburg planted everything everywhere-more things on more ground than theretofore in its history. Until the day this was written, June 20, 1923, it has seemed that especial natural favors have supplemented its labors.
In 1922, Williamsburg produced 10,320,000 pounds of leaf tobacco, ranking first among the counties of South Carolina. This date, 1923, there were more acres of better tobacco growing in Williamsburg than at the same time last year. There were, too, more acres of cotton, corn, sweet potatoes, peas, vegetables, fruits, and flowers, and all in better condition. There were more high grade cattle
548
HISTORY OF WILLIAMSBURG
and hogs and chickens and other things than one year ago.
Men and women had been and were continuing learning rapidly the value of the things that they produce and how to secure better prices for them. Not only had the men actually realized that by co-operative marketing their cotton and tobacco commanded more money, but also they had learned that on their plantations they produced many things that were salable, and that butter and eggs and pork and poultry money is just as useful and valuable as that obtained in any other way.
In 1923, more young men and women from Williams- burg were graduated from the colleges of the country than in any two years of its prior history. More pupils were in the high and graded schools of the County, and far bet- ter work was done by them. An unusual number of these school boys and girls made remarkable progress and records during the year, and recent college honor rolls have been full of Williamsburg names. But, for the first time in its history, the parents of Williamsburg have been learning far more rapidly than their children. Preachers and prophets from Clemson College had been coming here for many years, but these old farmers would not hear them. "Deflation" and the "Boll Weevil" came two and one-half years ago. These old farmers sneered and cursed and com- plained under their schooling; but, about Christmas time 1922, they could read the handwriting on the wall. It de- clared, "Produce-in God's name, produce !"
Williamsburg has left its "outgrown shell by life's unresting sea."
