Some Interesting History. BY S. B. GEORGE. T 1? e j i Jjexmgioo waa xuruuau uut of Soxe Gotha township, of Orangeburg county, in 1798, with the county seat at Old Granbv, then possibjy the only town in it. The place is now virtually lost sight of, the land being under cultivation, there beiDg no buildings left, and the only trace i-? a few clumps of masonary?be remains of chimneys. The Government Locks on Coagaree river, ju^t constructed, are near the historic old town, it having teen a little further down the river on the west bank.
