30 Jun 1774:123 (1643 Supplement)
Charles-Town, (S. Carolina,) June 6. Saturday last being
the King's birth-day, when his Majesty entered the 36th year
of his age, the same was observed here in the usual way,
i.e. the bells were rang--Colours displayed--Guns at the
forts fired--the militia were reviewed--and his honour the
Lieutenant Governor had company to dine with him in the
Council Chamber--but there was not a single house
illuminated at night, nor any other demonstration of joy;
the people lamenting that so good a Prince should be beset
by a ministry who seem to have studied to alienate rather
than preserve the affections of his most loyal subjects.
