On this day 250 years ago, the last Royal Governor of South Carolina – Lord William Campbell – arrived in Charlestown. He refused to recognize the
Provincial Congress and instead convened a meeting of the South Carolina Assembly to be held in August. On that same day, however, the First Provincial Congress went on about the business of governing the whole colony without any regard of the Governor, resolving
That the district between the Forks of Broad and Saludy rivers ought to be divided into two – That the division-line should be drawn from the mouth of Second-creek upon Broad-river to the head of it, and thence in a direct line to Millhous’s mill, upon Saludy-river. That the lower district, in the Fork, be allowed three representatives at the time of election, to be chosen at the plantation of Adam Summer. And that the upper district be allowed seven representatives, to be chose at the time of election, at the plantation of James Ford, on Enoree. And that this regulation do take place at the next general election of members of a Provincial Congress.
