Excerpt from A Sketch of the Agricultural Society of St. James, Santee, South Carolina: And an Address on the Traditions and Reminiscences of the Parish, Delivered Before Society on 4th of July, 1907 The Agricultural Society of St. James, Santee, which took the place of and successor of the old ante-bellum Planters' Club of St James, was organized the first part of the year 1884. This Society continued in great activity and usefulness, which redounded to the good of the Parish, both agriculturally and socially, until the latter part of 1887, when from force of circumstances it was allowed to lapse, and laid dormant until it was re-organized in 1903.
