James Ervine | >yrd, of Timmons- vihe, Who until his death gave his in-st for tin* upbuilding of his home town, the following quaint* preface appears: “My attention was called to a book of this kind by being confused with suinli memoranda which I never could arrange to bring to light, things which would be of impor tance as we'il as satisfactory to my future contemplation. Therefore, be lieving this to be the only correct way, T have cbmmenced to inscribe events of importance as well as many incidents of lesser value.

And the date is Feb ruary 7th, 1851. James E. Byrd, when the first pages of this book were written was a student at the medical university. Philadelphia, and the year was 1812. In 1845 the little book continues: “Married on the 29th of November, 1845. by Rev. G. Rollins. Dr. J. E Byrd to Miss Mary Lavinia Keith, olf ol Dar'ington District, S.

Put up the first store and ca'ied thaplaee Tim monsville in the fall of 1852.” With men like Dr. Byrd, J.-sse Keith, Morgan Timmons and other large land owners with energy and enterprise one is not surprised to read in the Darlington Flag of April 261 h, 1854. of the progress of Tim monsville in two short years. ‘Two years ago, says the article, the land on which stands Timmonsville was Hi! pine-woods: not they first tree had yielded to the woodman’s axe and on the location of the W and M.

The sound of the hammer and plain, the roar of tie* cars, and sound of the various whistles to the steam mills, (we have two others in the hearing of Timmonsville). ami of the daily passage of from two to three hundred strangers through our little village, gives to it quite a business air. And when it is known that an inexhaust ible pine forest for turpentine and lumber and that our clay lands arc th'» beet for cotton, and this part of the district of Darlington consider ed quite healthy, why not congratu late ourselves that Timmonsville will soon he a great place.” Sixty-eight years have elapsed since that prophetic writer with keen ness and enthusiasm sung of the pos sibiliiies of tils beloved home place, 1 immonsviUe. Luring these years the “seven resident families” have been as magnets to others and now the town has a population of .more than 2.000 men, women and children with a constant influx as the advan tages of the section become more widely known. The purity of the climate, the cleanliness of the town, the stamina, morality, and enterprise of the people are all factors in in ducing taw abiding citizens to locate within these gates. The inexhaustible pine forest, with its turpentine and lumber has disappeared hut stores and dwellings l.-auks and churches have taken its place and may we not congratulate ourselves that Timmonsviilc will soon became even a greater place, than even we now dream of. 'I lie vital question is: are we do lag our pajt to make it so In ano ther 68 years most of us will be gone, and perhaps forgotten, but in the years* and days lliat are ours can we not leave an impression on tile sands of time like those pioneers who b'azed the trail before us?
