June 27, 1872 issue

add to cart   close window

Leaving Charleston on one of the mornings of the past week, the author was ferried across the Ashley River by a steamboat . The steamboat since the war, had served to connect the terminus of the Savannah and Charleston Railroad with Charleston proper. This is the general character of that portion of South Carolina known as the "Low Country" district and in which rice is grown as the chief product. The finer grades of cotton have a limited space for cultivation allotted them, but rice is the staple production and hundreds of thousands of bushels yearly are exported to all parts of the world. The entire South cannot show a tract of land more richly endowed by nature than this same "Low Country" region.
