What more appropriate year than this to discover a magazine filled with ammunition in a real fort used during the Confederate War! Georgetown and its vicinity have many reminders ol that war between the states. Battery White is the scene of restoration activity and is being reopened to the pub lic. Battery White is located at Belle Isle and the Georgetown Cham ber of Commerce is taking the in itiative in having it restored as a point of Interest for tourists vis iting the Georgetown area. The U. S. Navy has sent a group of munitions experts from Charleston into the area. They are assisting in determining the stat us of the ammunition left in the deserted Confederate fort. This is only one of many at tractions drawing people to Georgetown for an explorative holiday. There is a place called the Harvest Moon, Fraser’s point, site of the 1828 Spanish Settle ment; North and South Islands, Lafayette’s landing place, plus other beauty points. These could be coupled into a wonderful water tour because they are accessible by boat. An other might be up the Waccamaw and Pee Dee Rivers, past Hob- caw Barony, Arcadia, Rice Fields and other plantations to Brook- green Gardens. F. Thoipas Boyd, executive sec retary of the Georgetown Cham ber of Commerce, welcomes those wishing information concerning these points of interest to visit the downtown chamber office. Another interesting and capti vating trip for the motorist might be to a large number of 108-year- old plantations in the Georgetown area. Annual tours are planned under the sponsorship of the Women’s Auxiliary of the Church of Prince George, Winy ah. These are held during April on dates set up by the group. People taking these tours (there’s a different tour each day during the planned program) see plantations lying in the marshy lands along the Black, Pee Dee, and Waccamaw Rivers. Histories, along with maps, are provided with each ticket to the tour. Visitors provide their own transportation along the desig nated routes. Plantations dating back to land grants from King George II of England, often retain the names of the ancestral homes of the founders, from England and Scotland. At some of these places, the original slave quarters are still intact and vestiges of the once-powerful rice planting indus try are still in evidence. Although rice was the chief means of sup port for many years in the thou sands of coastal acres, indigo culture had a brief span of pros perity. Several of the plantation homes on these tours remain in whole or in part as they were in. ante bellum days of gracious hospital ity and luxurious living. Those homes of yesterday which have fallen prey to the ravages of time have been replaced with struc tures which have been carefully designed and executed to maintain the atmosphere of the Colonial period. Churches whose parishes were established more than 200 years ago will be open to visitors. There the visitor will have an opportun ity to see many beautiful pieces of silver used In church services for many decades. Whether the visitor to the Caro lina coast is interested in the rich historical background of old plan tations or In their beautiful gar dens filled with the spring bloom of camellias, azaleas and dog wood, these tours will be an ex perience of lasting pleasure. 15 High School Seniors Finalists For PC Scholarships Fifteen topflight high school seniors have been selected as fin alists in Presbyterian College’s annual Founder’s Scholarship competiUon, Student Dean A.
