Numerals occur in the geographical names of South Carolina more frequently than elsewhere. The post town of Ninety-six is historical, but there are besides Nine Times, Fifty-eight, Trio. Trinity, Eighteea Mile, Six Mile and Sixty-six. There are numbers of flower-shaped watches in enamel, such aa th» pansy, daisy and open rosa.
