Excerpt from Chesterfield County, Economic and Social We are indebted to Mr. Roy L. Hurst and Mr. James E. Millard for preparing "A Brief History of Chesterfield County;" to Mr. Charles L. Hunley for the articles on "Chesterfield County Highways," "Chesterfield County Fair," and the "Organization of Poultry Raisers;" to Mr. Paul H. Hearn for the account of the "Town of Chesterfield;" to Mr. J. D. Sexton for the article on "Fruit Growing;" and to Mr. C. M. Tucker and Dr. J. D. Colson for the write-up on "Pageland." Mr. J. N. McBride. Development Agent of the Seaboard Air Line Railway, generously contributed two pictures of peach orchards near McBee. The Pageland Board of Trade furnished a picture of the Pageland High School building. Mr. William Godfrey supplied us with some valuable historical data. The expense of publishing and distributing this bulletin was borne by our advertisers, the University of South Carolina, the Pageland Board of Trade, and three individual contributors, Dr. J. T. Ladd, Mr. Henry Wannamaker, and Dr. F. S. Blair. To Dr. Wilson Gee, Professor of Rural Social Science at the University of South Carolina, should go the credit for having this work undertaken. Its completion was also due to his efforts, both of a supervisory nature and in supplementary writing. Quite a number of public-spirited citizens of the county made suggestions that proved helpful, as well as cooperating in other ways.
