Pinckney Island NWR, established December 4, 1975, was once included in the plantation of Major General Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, a prominent lawyer active in South Carolina politics from 1801 to 1815. Few traces of the island's plantation life in the 1800's exist today. The 4,053-acre refuge includes Pinckney Island, Corn Island, Big Harry and Little Harry Islands, Buzzard Island and numerous small hammocks. Pinckney is the largest of the islands and the only one open to public use. Nearly 67% of the refuge consists of salt marsh and tidal creeks. A wide variety of land types are found on Pinckney Island alone: salt marsh, forestland, brushland, fallow field and freshwater ponds. In combination, these habitats support a diversity of bird and plant life. ... [Read More]

North Carolina State Bar Opinions Restricting Involvement of Non-Attorneys in RealEstate Closings and Refinancing Transactions
Furthermore, the Opinions do not guarantee that consumers will have the benefit of independent counsel or the ability to stop a transaction that is not in their best interest. Consumers are not required to hire their own lawyers to represent their interests and to advise them of all of their rights and obligations. Rather, under North Carolina Ethics Opinion RPC 210, the lender's lawyer may close the loan and may represent both the buyer and lender with disclosure of the joint representation. Alternatively, the lawyer may represent only the lender, as long as he/she gives timely notice to the buyers of this fact, to enable the buyer to decide whether to hire separate counsel or go unrepresented. Such a lawyer does not have an attorney-client relationship with anyone except the lender. While these lawyers might be able to provide some legal explanations to consumers, they would not represent them. They could not advise buyers about whether a particular deed or loan term was in th ... [Read More]

South Carolina State Library - Publications: "So Good and Necessary a Work"
It was not until 1917 with the election of Henry E. Davis to the Board of School Commissioners that progress began towards achieving a public library for Florence. Mr. Davis, a lawyer, had received a large part of his legal training under Judge C.A. Woods. Judge Woods' conviction of the value of books, reading, and libraries had been instrumental in the establishment of the Marion Public Library and had influenced the establishment of other public libraries in South Carolina. He had convinced Mr. Davis of the value to any community of a properly conducted library with a well selected book collection. Mr. Davis became the advocate on the Board of School Commissioners for the establishment of public library service in Florence. At the close of World War I he advocated the building of a library as a war memorial but his suggestion was not adopted although it had the strong support of many Florence citizens. In 1920 the charter of the School District was amended to incorporate the essentia ... [Read More]
