City housed Haitian refugees in another troubled
time
By NIC BUTLER
Charleston County Public Library
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com
Editor's note: Charlestonians
have supported a number of efforts in the past few weeks to help
the people of Haiti in the wake of last month's crippling earthquake.
Dr. Nic Butler of the Charleston Archive at the Charleston County
Public Library says the relationship between the two areas actually
goes back more than two centuries. We thank Dr. Butler for allowing
us to reprint his recent blog post about the historic connection.

FEB.
1, 2010 -- The recent earthquake in Haiti has induced many Charlestonians
to offer assistance and aid to the unfortunate sufferers of that
island nation. Charleston is certainly not alone in offering relief
to Haiti from afar, but we in the Palmetto City can claim to have
a rather special distinction in this regard. In fact, Charlestonians'
first experience in providing aid to Haitian refugees began in the
summer of 1793. The story of this interesting connection goes back
to the early days of what became known as the Haitian Revolution.

During
colonial times, the port city of Charleston enjoyed some limited
trade with the French island colony of St. Domingue (the western
half of the island of Hispaniola, renamed Haiti in 1804), but the
1778 alliance between France and the United States increased the
channels of communication dramatically. For many years afterwards,
the French colony provided sugar, fruit, and other commodities that
were sold in Charleston's waterfront markets. When slaves and free
persons of color in St. Domingue began revolting in 1791, Charleston
paid close attention to the violent uprisings that rocked its trading
partner, which we called "St. Domingo."
The
situation in St. Domingue was volatile and uncertain for many months,
but in the summer of 1793 things worsened considerably. Starting
in June of that year, white planters, merchants, and artisans began
fleeing St. Domingue in large numbers in any ship they could find.
Most took only what possessions they could carry in their arms,
and the wealthiest brought trusted slaves as well. Throughout the
second half of 1793 and into 1794, these refugees took shelter in
Atlantic port towns from Florida to New York, and in New Orleans
in the Gulf of Mexico as well.
Anticipating
the arrival of refugees in their town, Charlestonians began collecting
donations in July 1793. Boatloads of penniless refugees began streaming
into the city soon afterward, eagerly searching for peace, shelter,
food, and clothing. The exact number of refugees who came to Charleston
from St. Domingue is unclear, but contemporary evidence indicates
that the number was probably between 400 and 500 men, women, and
children. Almost immediately, the City Council of Charleston faced
the need to secure the basic necessities of life for hundreds of
starving refugees. Many local residents welcomed families of refugees
into their homes, while others found respite in the glebe (rental)
properties of the city's various churches. Some refugees were left
on the street, however, and so the city government made a bold move:
it housed an unknown number of "unhappy sufferers" in
a building known as the "New Market" in Market Street.
 |
The
"New Market" was built as a tall, one-story, rectangular
"shed" two hundred feet long and twenty-seven feet wide,
located one hundred feet east of Meeting Street in the middle of
what is now Market Street. Built circa 1790-91, it had a tiled roof
supported by brick arched pillars and was designed to serve as an
open-air meat market. This "New Market" was the first
of several building planned for the city's new market space in the
newly designated Market Street, but the plan was moving slowly in
1793. In a moment of crisis, therefore, Charleston City Council
apparently voted to convert the New Market into a dormitory for
refugees from St. Domingue.
The
records of City Council from that era were lost in 1865, but fragments
of the story survive in the contemporary newspapers. On 19 August
1793, the Charleston City Gazette published a notice informing the
public of their plan to house a number of the refugees.
Since
we have no City Council records from this era, the details of this
relief effort have unfortunately been lost to time.
How
many refugees lived in the New Market, and how long did they stay
there? These are questions to which we may never know the answers.
It is revealing, however, that Charleston City Council had intended
to move all of the city's market activity-the selling of vegetables,
fruits, and butchered meats-into Market Street in the early 1790s,
but that plan was delayed for a decade. Between August 1793 and
the spring of 1804, the city made no progress in turning Market
Street into a proper market. Starting in May 1804, the city resumed
filling the marshy area and building market sheds, and the new "Centre
Market" officially opened to the public on Aug. 1, 1807. It
seems unlikely that refugees from St. Domingue resided in the refurbished
New Market building from late 1793 until the spring of 1804, but
they probably lived in it long enough to discourage the city from
undertaking the expenses required to convert it back to a market
shed.
The
"New Market" of 1793 was renamed the city's "Beef
Market" in 1804, and it was destroyed in the massive fire that
burned Ansonborough in April 1838. Although a new, slightly wider
brick market shed was erected on that site in 1838, that building
and the rest of Charleston's Centre Market (now commonly called
the City Market) stand today as a living reminder of the long-established
connection between our city and the people of Haiti (St. Domingue).

Bauer should
drop out of gubernatorial race
By
ANDY BRACK, publisher
JAN.
29, 2010 - Let's give a big hand to gubernatorial candidate Andre
Bauer: He's wrapped up the intolerant, racist, elderly vote with
recent comments linking stray animals to people on government aid.
Maybe all the lieutenant governor now has to do to garner the GOP
nod is expand his base by speeding more cars, crashing more planes
and punching more walls.

Brack
|
What
he really should do is save the state from four years of being the
continuing butt of national jokes. How? By dropping out of the governor's
race. Regardless of your political party, South Carolina just can't
afford Bauer's immaturity to get in the way of where the state needs
to go.
After
years of bad behavior with planes and cars, Bauer's mouth has finally
caught up with him. At issue is his deplorable comment last week
on taking away government assistance for people who didn't pass
drug tests or attend PTA meetings. At an Upstate political gathering,
Bauer recalled his grandmother telling him to stop feeding strays:
"You know why? Because they breed. You're facilitating the
problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They
will reproduce, especially ones that don't think too much further
than that. And so what you've got to do is you've got to curtail
that type of behavior. They don't know any better."
In
a Jan. 24 story in The Greenville News, Bauer said he didn't regret
the comments, but said using the "stray animals" comment
probably wasn't the best metaphor. By Jan. 26, the spin was in full
control. He told The State in a story printed that morning that
he regretted the comment because it was being used as an analogy,
not a metaphor.
By
that afternoon, he was throwing more gas on the fire by "explaining"
his comment about strays to the S.C. Radio Network: "If you
can't take care of them, take them to the animal shelter. But what
happens when you feed them all the time and they become dependent
of the food and you go on vacation? They've learned how to not take
care of themselves. They've become dependent on you, so what happens
to them? I should have never used that metaphor. I never dreamed
people in the media would try to turn this thing around instead
of saying 'hey let's have an honest discussion.'"
Bauer's
words have been roundly criticized and are, as the Times and Democrat
of Orangeburg wrote, "not some kind of Democratic overreaction."
The Rock Hill Herald said he was reckless and used "spectacularly
insensitive language." Bauer was "not only cruel and derogatory,
but counterproductive," according to the Myrtle Beach Sun-News.
And Warren Bolton at The State, who wrote he ate free lunches when
he was in school, noted Bauer's remarks were "an affront to
every parent and child who might not come from financially stable
homes."

|
What's
bothersome with Bauer's cycle of telling the comment to a friendly
Upstate audience followed by not regretting it, regretting it and
then saying it again, is the very real possibility the whole shameful
episode was a calculated political move to inject some life into
a dull, somewhat sputtering campaign.
Like
him or not, Bauer long has been a determined, savvy campaigner who
shouldn't be underestimated. Just ask Sen. Phil Leventis or former
Rep. Robert Barber, both of whom narrowly lost to Bauer in statewide
races.
Bauer's
throwback brand of unenlightened, retail politics isn't what will
move South Carolina forward. Leaders of all political stripes are
calling for real leadership in wake of the disaster of the Sanford
years. And real leadership is not something that Bauer has shown
while in office. Instead of governing, he's been the eternal candidate
who runs his mouth.
South
Carolina deserves better from its next governor than someone who
kowtows to the lowest common denominator. After the last week, it
deserves just about anybody but Andre.

Half the battle is understanding gardening in the South - what works
and what doesn't," says Martin, executive director of the Conservancy.
The
first "Charleston Parks Conservancy Ed" class will be
held Feb. 16. Titled "Park Angels 101: An Introduction to the
Parks, People, History and Horticulture in Charleston," the
class is free to anyone who has signed up to be a Park Angel. Park
Angels support the conservancy by volunteering in local parks and
spreading the word about the conservancy. Registration is free;

adult ticket price. Valid proof of residency (such as a driver's
license) must be presented to take advantage of the special deal.
More information is available at http://www.scaquarium.org
or by calling 577-FISH (3474).
In
addition to the "Sea and Save" program, the aquarium also

Roadway
improvements planned around county during 2010
2010
is shaping up to be a big year for local road projects funded by
the Transportation Sales Tax Program. Two major projects are under
way now, and three more will begin in the spring. County officials
say right-of-way acquisition is in progress for three additional
projects that could also begin this year.
The bonded projects that are currently under construction are the
Palmetto Commerce Parkway (Phase II), a nearly four-mile extension
of the existing parkway to connect with Ashley Phosphate Road in
North Charleston, and Folly Road/Maybank Highway intersection improvements,
which include new traffic signals, new road pavement, landscaped
medians, sidewalks, lighting and stormwater drainage at the intersections
of Folly Road, Old Folly Road and Maybank Highway on James Island.
Projects
expected to begin construction in spring are improvements to Johnnie
Dodds Boulevard in Mount Pleasant (including road widening and upgrades
to existing intersections along U.S. 17/Johnnie Dodds from the base
of the Ravenel bridge north to the I-526 overpass); Medical University
of South Carolina road infrastructure improvements (including the
conversion of Courtenay Drive to a one-way street from Spring Street
to Cannon Street) and improvements to the Glenn McConnell Parkway/I-526
interchange area.
Right-of-way
acquisition is now in progress for three projects: widening Harbor
View Road from just west of North Shore Drive to Fort Johnson Road
(including turn lanes, a sidewalk and a bicycle path); widening
Bees Ferry Road for its entire length (including converting the
two-lane road to a four-lane divided/five-lane road with accommodations
for bicycles and pedestrians) and improvements to the intersection
of Folly and Camp roads (adding two left-turn lanes on southbound
Folly Road and dedicated left-turn lanes on both Camp Road approaches).

ENCYCLOPEDIA
Memminger
School
Founded
in 1858, the State Normal School at Charleston owed its existence
to a reform movement that simultaneously erected a modern public
school system for the white children of the city, the first in South
Carolina. The school was begun by Christopher G. Memminger, a state
legislator and chairman of the Charleston school board. Patterned
after schools in the northern states, the mission of the Memminger
School (as it was called after 1876) was to train female teachers
for the state at large as a department of a new city high school
for girls (the Charleston High School was then reserved for boys
only). The first principal was Frederick A. Sawyer, a native of
Boston and future U.S. senator for South Carolina.

Memminger Auditorium
|
Memminger
got initial support from state funds and drew students from outside
the city. However, the school came to rely primarily on local gifts
and taxes. Admission depended on entrance tests and was usually
free. The curriculum included courses in education theory and practice,
teaching advanced studies in the humanities, mathematics, and science.
Eventually, Memminger expanded its scope, providing departments
of instruction in domestic science and business. After years of
declining enrollments variously attributed to the admission of women
to the College of Charleston and wider opportunities for women in
the private economy, the flagship Normal Department was discontinued
in 1932. By then the school had educated thousands of teachers,
business and professional women, and housewives.
In
1933 Memminger was reorganized as a comprehensive high school for
white girls, offering classical, general, and prevocational courses.
In subsequent decades, as secondary schools of Charleston were integrated
by gender and race, Memminger emerged as the name of an elementary
school.
