The first Flynt-published issue of the weekly listed Lillian Carter. the Presi- dent's ubiquitous mother, as a contribut- ing editor. It also carried advertisements of Hugh Carter's Worm Farm and Hugh Carter's Antiques, modestly described as "the world's best known antiques shop, owned and operated by State Senator Hugh Carter, first cousin of President Jimmy Carter." Another ad advised: "Everybody comes to Billy Carter's Service Station, Highway 280, Plains, Georgia." . When Lyndon Johnson was U.S. President, local entrepreneurs in Johnson City. Tex., sold small bottles of LBJ water at $1 and up. It's just a question of time before some enterprising Plains youngster starts selling bottled hot air from Billy Carter's Service Station. MEI .

You were born in Honolulu on April 12th, 1950 and grew up in Plains after your father had left the Navy and gone back to run the peanut business. Tell us about your family and growing up in Plains.

More recently, the depot was used as Jimmy Carter's headquarters during his 1976 presidential campaign. PART I. HISTORICAL INFORMATION A. Physical History: 1. Date of erection: ca. 1889-90. Although the Americus, Preston and Lumpkin Railroad was constructed in 1885, the depot was not built until after the railroad was sold to the Savannah, Americus and Montgomery Railroad in 1888.
