South Carolina Gazette The "South Carolina Gazette" was South Carolina's first successful newspaper. The paper began in 1732 under J. Whitemarsh in Charlestown (now Charleston), but within two years Whitemarsh died of yellow fever. In 1734 another former printer with Benjamin Franklin, Lewis Timothy, revived the "Gazette" and ran it until his accidental death four years later. His widow Elizabeth then ran both the paper and the print shop until their son, Peter, was old enough to take over. Peter also worked with the colonial postal service and was appointed Deputy Postmaster-General of the Southern Provinces.
