)r. 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. This hook

hands of my daughter. S. Ellen Ade
laide. I intended it for my boy. By
ron E. Byrd, but as he is dead, let
it be Ellens”. 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. (’.” |
Then after a brief mention of hi.-
election as cortitnissioher of ths pbor
in October 1850. the reel beginning
of Timmonsville i s told thus simply:
“Moved to what is now called Tim
monsville January 8. 1851. 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

Timmons and others have over (if

rosin ready fer any market. 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? Can
not we help to make our town
among the best and most progres
sive in th<' old Palmetto state?”
