The B ond given at the Naval Office for delivery of a Cargo of Rice or other enumerated Commodity, may be canceled by producing a Certiiicate of the delivery of such Cargo in Great Britain or any of His Majesty's Plantations or West India Islands in America — the Obligee is not bound to deliver or to sell at any particular Specified port — the Character which you write of M' Platt puts him above all Suspicion of a fraudulent design, but you know the danger of dispensing with Laws, a bad precedent established in the Case of a good Man would be quoted by others of a different Stamp & the worst of Men are Sometimes very powerful & will under colour of right do much mischief in Society — upon t he whole I apprehend the Council of Safety will Resolve that M* Platt before he is permitted to proceed in Loading his Vessels Shall deliver to the Committee of Prince William's his clearance & other Custom House papers which he received at Savanna & also Enter into Bond with one Sufficient Surety for producing a Certificate of the actual delivery of his Cargoes at New York or some othei of the Dnited Colonies 5 — but as you are a Member you will see what is to be written to the Committee to which I therefore refer & wishing you many returns of the Season more happy & 5 S ee also letter to committee for Prince William's Parish, Journal of the Council of Safety, Collectiotis of the South Carolina Historical Society, Vol. 3, pp. 112-113.

    Help Preserve the Heritage of America Save the Morris Island Lighthouse “I can think of no other edifi ce constructed by man as altruistic as a lighthouse. They were built only to serve. They weren’t built for any other purpose. - George Bernard Shaw Whether South Carolina is your home; whether you simply love lighthouses; or whether you are an American who seeks to save our remaining historical treasures, your help is earnestly needed. As you may know, the Morris Island Lighthouse has a damaged foundation and may fall if stabilization steps are not taken soon. Thanks to years of beach erosion, made worse by the construction of the Charleston jetties which were completed in 1897, the site of the lighthouse has been steadily eroded by the Atlantic Ocean. The exposure has allowed an infi ltration of shipworms to infest the timber pile & grillage base of the lighthouse tower. The following pages will acquaint you with, the history of Morris Island and its light- houses. You will also learn in more detail about the current condition of the structure and the state approved engineering plan to save the lighthouse from collapse. Finally, you will have the opportunity to evaluate the phased plan for its preservation and budget to accomplish each phase. Our recent completion of Phase 1 on March 28, 2008 puts us squarely on track to ensure our enjoyment of this historical treasure for many years to come. 1 2 The Lighthouse When you look at the Morris Island Light- house today you are seeing a landmark so rich in history that it has become an integral part of America’s heritage.

  • Regiment Assignments
    :51 AM Tue Jan 8 ■II -:- 52% I mrlinfo.org James Matthew Townsend (1841-1913) James M. Townsend was born August 18, 1841 in Gallipolis, Ohio, the son of William and Mary Ann Townsend. He attended the public schools in Oxford, Ohio, and at an early age began preaching in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1863, anxious to help emancipate his race, he enlisted in the 54th Massachusetts Volunteers -- the first black regiment to enter military service. Townsend remained on active duty until the end of the Civil War. Upon returning home he attended Oberlin Academy, a preparatory high school operated by Oberlin College, for two years. Then he moved to Evansville, Indiana, where he was a school principal and continued his religious studies. In 1871 he was ordained a deacon. During the next fifteen years he held pastorates in several Indiana cities, among them Terre Haute, Indianapolis, and Richmond. In 1876 Townsend was elected assistant secretary of the A.M.E. Church's national conference; two years later he was named missionary secretary of the church. In that capacity he traveled abroad several times. He was chosen in 1881 as a delegate to an ecumenical conference in London, England. He moved to Richmond, and in 1885 was elected a state legislator on the Republican ticket, only the second African-American to be elected. Townsend was a vigorous advocate of civil rights for blacks while in the General Assembly. He introduced a bill to abolish all distinctions of race in state laws -- including marriage and the militia. It failed, but Townsend's pleas for equal justice did produce a bill banning descrimination in public places.

  • President's Message, April 26, 2017 Dear Civil War Enthusiast, Another Year in the Round Table Is Coming to an End
    President's Message, April 26, 2017 Dear Civil War Enthusiast, Another year in the Round Table is coming to an end. The year has brought us many great speakers and terrific field trips. (Two trips subsidized by the South Carolina Humanities Council.) I was traveling in March and missed the trip to Fort Pulaski. Everyone I spoke to stated that it was a great day and that the stop on Tybee Island was very special. During this past season, we also had Hurricane Matthew that caused us to cancel our October meeting. While there was quite a bit of property damage, we survived and thrived. Our April speaker, Karen Abbott, received rave reviews. Thank you to the Programming Committee for finding these outstanding speakers. Now, it is May again, our final speaker of our regular season is upon us. Phil Leigh has a great subject and, my understanding, is that he will be bringing several of his published books for purchase. (Phil was initially scheduled for October.) May is also the time that, as required by the bylaws, I present the annual state of the club report. As you are aware our membership slipped significantly this year, and that has consequences. Further, it is time for the election of new officers for 2017-2018. (Please note that we still require a VP, Program Chair, and Hospitality Chair.) Do not hesitate to offer yourself to this service. The entire Executive Committee will support you. After an exhaustive process, Caroline Kennedy and Joe Roney are ready to announce our annual Scholarship winner, this will be our third recipient.

General:—The continued occupation and activity of the enemy on Folly Island, may reasonably lead us to expect an attack from that direction, sooner or later, unless we are thor- oughly prepared to receive it. What their force is we have no means of ascertaining, and from the great reduction in our numbers it is impossible to employ scouting parties in such strength as to furnish an approximation. Steamers are seen to communicate with them from time to time ; but whether they bring or carry away troops, or whether they are merely supply vessels, are matters of doubt. From personal observation, I have the honor to state that the preparations which are going on under the Engineer Depart- ment, for communication with, and the defence of Morris Island, are dilatory, and will not be finished according to pre- sent appearances for a long period. The bridge over the first creek south of Fort Johnson is commenced ; the ferry arrange- ments over Light House Creek, and the causewavs over The Soft Marsh are only started.
