Just east of Bishopville and beyond Lynches River where U.S. Highway 15 crosses it, there is a flowing well. It can be seen from the highway, on the far side of the old road. But in these days of fast travel it receives little notice, for the cars whiz past and few passengers ever notice it. Grandparents of the present young people, or more likely their parents, may have stopped their horses and delayed long enough to quench their thirst from the stream of clear, cool water flowing from an iron pipe.
Perhaps now and then a youngster of my generation may have it pointed out as the spot where the Cash-Shannon duel was fought, and where Colonel Shannon lost his life.
Several years ago a special correspondent for the Darlington paper had this to say of the duel.
