TRUST FUND FOR CREEK PRESB To the Public: Old iDuncan's Creek Presbyterian church situated near Clinton, was first ibuilt of logs hi the year 1766. It is one of the oldest landmarks in the his tory of this part of the country. It took its name fron John Duncan, the -lirst lwhite man to settle in the upper part of the state. The congregation was composed of some of the most illustrious sons and daughters of that time. No more sacred landmark stan(ds in the upper part of South Carolina than Duncan's Creek church and its burying ground. The extorior walls of this old church heatr the marks of the seasons come and gone through many decades since the old structure was completed, and I nm sorry to see it Is now fast crumb ling with age. Will the forth-coming generation of the Revolution, when America struggled for a name and it place on the earth, let these venera'ble walls ever be hoin dowin. If so. shame on us. Adjoining this church is the vine grown cemetery where the as'hes of many of the brave patriots and pio neers, our mothers and grandmothers have long since cominled hvith the 0arth1. There on the old worn and weather-stained tombs that have bottrne the rains and storms for more than one hundred years mark their tombs, with noble citizens and revo lutionary 'oldiers who bled and died for our liberty found too, their last earthly rcsting place in this old grave yari-d. Will we turn our backs and neglect our dlty we owe to our' fore 'ather ? No! .\any of us are deplor ing the condition, have arodsed inter est and de'ided to organize an associa tion to raise an nidowimerit funtid foi pIenpetual care of this graveyard.

OLD DUNCAN'S YTERIAN CHURCH ing was as follolws: .We agreed the Interest on $2,000.00 each year, would be sufficient for the up-keep of said grounds. Mr. -D. D. JLittle, of Spartanburg, made this proposition: "I do hereby contract and agree to pay $1,000.00 of this amount provided all others inter-. ested will raise anotlier $1,000.00 up on subscription and payment Into the hands of sproper oflIcials designated by the association; the interest only being used yearly for the upkeep.
