Newberry Men In Service At Stations Around The World In As commemorated by a bronze plaque, the present Calhoun Life Building in Charleston, South Carolina marks the site of the Institute Hall, in which the Ordinance of Secession was signed in 1860. The ordinance, unanimously approved in the small St. Andrews Hall nearby, set up South Carolina as an independent state, an act which contributed to the formation of the Confederacy and to four years of internal strife. In South Carolina today, beer is linked more and more to the state’s economy and way of life. Revenue from this beverage of moderation plays an important part in helping the state provide funds for schools and other worthy purposes. Counties and cities also us^ their share of this revenue for many worthwhile causes. And the United States Brewers Association contin uously works for wholesome conditions wherever beer and ale are served.
